“Amendment”), is by and among (a) Waste Connections, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), each Subsidiary of the Company from time to time party to the Purchase
Agreement referred to below (the “Subsidiaries,” and the Company and the Subsidiaries are
each referred to herein as an “Obligor” and, collectively, the “Obligors”), and (b)
each of the purchasers from time to time party to the Purchase Agreement referred to below (each a
“Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement
referred to below.



WHEREAS, the Obligors and the Purchasers are parties to that certain Master Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2008, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Master Note
Purchase Agreement dated as of July 20, 2009 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”); and



WHEREAS, the Obligors and the Holders pursuant to Section 17.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement
desire to amend Section 1.2 in the Purchase Agreement to increase the maximum aggregate principal
amount of Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement from $500,000,000 to
$750,000,000;



NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement
and herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



§1. Amendment to Section 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement. Section 1.2 of the Purchase
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the amount “$500,000,000” and replacing it with the amount
“$750,000,000”.



§2. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to
the Purchasers as follows:



(a) The execution and delivery by such Obligor of this Amendment and the performance by such
Obligor of its obligations and agreements under this Amendment and the Purchase Agreement as
amended hereby are within the corporate authority of such Obligor, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate proceedings on behalf of such Obligor, and do not and will not contravene any
provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which such Obligor is subject or such Obligor’s
constitutive documents or of any agreement or other instrument binding upon such Obligor.



(b) Each of this Amendment and the Purchase Agreement as amended hereby constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms,
except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to
or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights.



(c) No approval or consent of, or filing with, any governmental agency or authority is
required to make valid and legally binding the execution, delivery or performance by such Obligor
of this Amendment or the Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.



(d) Such Obligor has performed and complied in all material respects with all terms and
conditions herein and in the Purchase Agreement required to be performed or complied with by such
Obligor prior to or at the time hereof, and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the
provisions hereof, there exists no Default or Event of Default.


 


 









 





§3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date on
which all of the following shall have occurred (and shall not be effective until the date on which
all of the following shall have occurred): each of the Obligors and the Holders shall have duly
executed and delivered a copy of this Amendment.




§4. Miscellaneous Provisions.



(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and
provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect. It is declared and agreed by each of the parties hereto that the Purchase Agreement and
the Notes, as amended hereby, shall continue in full force and effect, and that this Amendment and
the Purchase Agreement shall be read and construed as a single instrument.



(b) The amendments set forth herein are effective solely for the purposes set forth herein and
shall be limited precisely as written. Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall
not be deemed to (i) be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or
condition of the Purchase Agreement or any Note, or (ii) operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice
any right, power or remedy that the Purchasers may now have or may have in the future under or in
connection with the Purchase Agreement or the Notes, except as specifically set forth herein.



(c) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one instrument. In making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be
necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by each party hereto by and
against which enforcement hereof is sought. Photocopies, facsimile transmissions, or email
transmissions of Adobe portable document format files (also known as “PDF” files) of signatures
shall be deemed original signatures and shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as
original signatures.



§5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with,
and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, excluding
choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of
a jurisdiction other than such State.
