LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (the "Purchase Agreement"), to issue and sell $400 million in an aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Notes") pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Regulation S under the Securities Act (the "Notes Offering"). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the initial purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
