 As soon as practicable after the

	(ii)	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the

 The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to
complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be
subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any
governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer that, in the Company’s judgment, could reasonably be expected to impair its ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer and (iii) any other conditions as shall be agreed upon by the Company
and the Initial Purchasers. 
  
 (b) In the event that (i) the
Company and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or
applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed on or prior to 210 days from the date hereof or (iii) no later than 90 days after completion of the Exchange Offer any Initial Purchaser shall so
reasonably request in writing in connection with any offer or sale of Registrable Securities not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause
to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC. 
  
 In the event that the
Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to file and have declared effective by the SEC
both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) 

  

 6 

 
with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer. 
  
 The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the
expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) (or any similar rule then in force, but not Rule 144A) under the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable Securities or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf
Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and
regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause any such amendment to become
effective and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment
promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC. 
  
 (c) The
Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be
deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. 
  
 In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared effective on or prior to 210 days from the date hereof (the “Target
Registration Date”), the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% for the first 90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act, up to a maximum
of 1.00% per annum of additional interest. 
  
 If the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, has been declared effective and thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to
remain effective or usable exists for more than 30 consecutive days (or more than 60 days total, 

  

 7 

 
whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum commencing on
the 31st day or 61st day, as applicable, in such 12-month period for the first 90-day period thereafter and an additional 0.25% with respect to each subsequent 60-day period, in each case ending on such date that the
Shelf Registration Statement has again been declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable, up to a maximum of 1.00% per annum. 
  
 (e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the
Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not
be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to
evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and, with respect to an Underwritten Offering, to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained
in an underwriting agreement. 
  

 12 

 (b) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Selling Holder of
Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing,
and the Company may exclude from such Shelf Registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable period of time following such request unless and until such information is delivered prior
to the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration. 
  
 (c) In the
case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company and the Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof,
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such stop order is lifted or such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof and, if so directed by the Company and the Guarantors, such Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  
 (d) If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any notice pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company and the
Guarantors may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period, any such suspensions shall not exceed 30 days for each suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 
  
 (e) The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer
the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering. 
  
 4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities
for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 
  

 13 

 The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the
Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with
resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date, if requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above; provided that if, during such 180-day period, any event of the kind described in Section
3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof shall occur, the Company and the Guarantors shall extend such 180-day period by the number of days during the period from and including the date of receipt of notice pursuant to Section 3(a)(v) hereof to and including
the date when such Participating Broker-Dealers shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company and the Guarantors further agree that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be
authorized to deliver such Prospectus during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4. 
  
 (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to
Section 4(b) above. 
  
 5. Indemnification and
Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any
Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (x) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing through JPMorgan or any selling Holder expressly for use therein and (y) to the extent the 

  

 14 

 
delivery of a Prospectus is required by law, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that was contained or made in any
related preliminary Prospectus, if both (A) a copy of the final Prospectus was not sent or given by such Initial Purchaser or Holder to such Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability on or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of such Securities or Exchange Securities to such Person and (B) the untrue statement in or omission from the related preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus and the Company complied with its agreements in Section 3(a)(ii),
3(a)(iii) and 3(a)(ix). In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement. 
  
 (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors,
each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any
Prospectus. 
  
 (c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify
the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 5. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have
notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that
the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified 

  

 15 

 
Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed
within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to
those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for
the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial
Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by JPMorgan, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated
in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors from
the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders
on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, 

  

 16 

 
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 (e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other reasonable expenses by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. 
  
 (f) The remedies provided for in this
Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
  
 (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers or
directors of or any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 6. General. 
  
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors
represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company
or any Guarantor under any other agreement and (ii) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
  
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and 

  

 17 

 
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents
pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. 
  
 (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial
Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Company and the Guarantors, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when
answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be
concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture. 
  
 (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in
violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all
the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be
entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by
any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other
hand, and shall have the right to enforce 

  

 18 

 
such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.

  
 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
  
 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
  
 (i) Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions.

 SECOND AMENDMENT 
  
 This SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of January 31, 2005, among Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a Delaware

investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any other Person.

Agents a duly executed original (or, if elected by the Administrative Agent, an executed facsimile copy) of this Amendment. 
  

 2. 

 (2) The Administrative Agent shall have received the consent, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of each Subsidiary party to a Guaranty (in its capacity as such) to the execution and delivery hereof by the Borrowers. 
  
 (3) The Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certifications as it may reasonably
require from each Borrower, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with respect to (A) the due authorization by such Borrower of the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and (B) the incumbency, authority and
signatures of the Responsible Officer of such Borrower executing and delivering this Amendment. 
  
 (4) The Administrative Agent shall have received evidence of payment by the Company of all fees, costs and expenses due and payable as of
the Effective Date hereunder and under the Credit Agreement, including any costs and expenses payable under Section 6(g) of this Amendment (including the Administrative Agent’s Attorney Costs, to the extent invoiced on or prior to the
Effective Date). 
  
 (5) The Administrative Agent
shall have received all other documents it, any L/C Issuer or the Lenders may reasonably request relating to any matters relevant hereto, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (6) The representations and warranties in Section 3
of this Amendment shall be true and correct on and as of the Effective Date with the same effect as if made on and as of the Effective Date. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4(a), each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from such Lender prior to the Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 (c) From and after the Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is amended as set forth herein. Except as expressly amended pursuant hereto, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and is

amendment fee equal to .025% of such Lender’s Commitment as of the Effective Date. Such amendment fee shall be fully-earned upon becoming due and payable, shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever and shall be in addition to any fee,
cost or expense otherwise payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement or this Amendment. 
  

 3. 

 6. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Canadian Facility Agent, the
Canadian Swing Line Lender, the U.S. Swing Line Lender and the Lenders of this Amendment shall not be deemed to create a course of dealing or an obligation to execute similar waivers or amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the
future. 
  
 (b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Administrative Agent of a facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Lender or the Company shall
bind such Lender or the Company, respectively, with the same force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the Administrative Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not diminish the binding
effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) This Amendment and the other Amendment Documents contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with
reference to the matters discussed herein. This Amendment supersedes all prior drafts and communications with respect hereto. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

  
 (f) If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be deemed
prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents. 
  
 (g) The Company agrees to pay or reimburse Bank of America (including in its
capacity as Administrative Agent), upon demand, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) incurred by Bank of America (including in its capacity as Administrative Agent) in connection with the development,
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Amendment Documents.
