Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”) in connection with the offer and sale of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Co-Issuers, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.
