RECITALS:
A.      The Company and each of the Noteholders have heretofore entered into the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 11, 2019 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).  The Company has heretofore issued CHF 297,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.01% Senior Notes, due December 11, 2029 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.
B.      The Company and the Noteholders now desire to amend the Note Purchase Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth.
C.      Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.
D.      All requirements of law have been fully complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this First Amendment a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this First Amendment set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Noteholders do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.         AMENDMENTS.
Section 1.1.      Section 22.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following language to the end of such Section:
​
“The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement and the other Note Documents (other than the Notes).  Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement and such other Note Documents (other than the Notes) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.  The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the other Note Documents (other than the Notes) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Company, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
​
​

​



​

​
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.”
​
Section 1.2.      The following definitions in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“Consolidated Total Indebtedness” means at any time the result of (a)  the sum, without duplication, of (i) the aggregate Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries calculated on a consolidated basis as of such time in accordance with GAAP (excluding the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the undrawn letters of credit outstanding) and (ii) Indebtedness of the type referred to in clause (i) hereof of another Person guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, minus (b) the Unrestricted Cash Amount.
​
“Priority Debt” means (without duplication), as of the date of any determination thereof, the sum of (i) all unsecured Indebtedness of Subsidiaries (including all Guarantees of Indebtedness but excluding (w) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of Subsidiaries related to letters of credit or similar instruments outstanding that evidence obligations related to customer deposits received in the ordinary course of business, in each case, to the extent such instruments remain undrawn and are for the benefit of such customers in respect of such customer deposits, (x) Indebtedness owing to the Company or any other Subsidiary, (y) Indebtedness outstanding at the time such Person became a Subsidiary, provided that such Indebtedness shall have not been incurred in contemplation of such person becoming a Subsidiary, and (z) Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor, and (ii) all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries secured by Liens other than Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted by subparagraphs (a) through (w), inclusive, of Section 10.4.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, all Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary that does not become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the terms of this Agreement will constitute Priority Debt for all purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
Section 2.1.      To induce the Noteholders to execute and deliver this First Amendment (which representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this First Amendment), the Company represents and warrants to the Noteholders that:
(a)       this First Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and this First Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation, contract and agreement of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally;

(d)       as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this First Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred which is continuing;
(e)       neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has paid or agreed to pay any fees or other consideration, or given any additional security or collateral, or shortened the maturity or average life of any Indebtedness or permanently reduced any borrowing capacity, in each case, in favor of or for the benefit of any creditor of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate, in connection with the changes contemplated by or similar in nature to the changes in this First Amendment; and
(f)       all the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made by the Company on and as of the date hereof.

Section 4.3.      The descriptive headings of the various Sections or parts of this First Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
Section 4.4.      This First Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law.
Section 4.5.      Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that its consent to this First Amendment is not required, but each Subsidiary Guarantor nevertheless hereby agrees and consents to this First Amendment and to the documents and agreements referred to herein.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that (i) notwithstanding the effectiveness of this First Amendment, each Subsidiary Guaranty (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) shall remain in full force and effect without modification thereto, and (ii) nothing herein shall in any way limit any of the terms or provisions of each Subsidiary Guaranty executed by any Subsidiary Guarantor, all of which are hereby ratified, confirmed and affirmed in all respects.

Section 4.6.      This First Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this First Amendment.  Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this First Amendment by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.
