 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 

The Company and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Base Indenture providing for the issuance from time
to time of one or more series of the Company’s senior unsecured debt securities (herein and in the Base Indenture called the “Securities”), the forms and terms of which are to be determined as set forth in Sections 201 and 301 of the
Base Indenture, and the Guarantees thereof by the Guarantors; and 
 Section 901 of the Base Indenture provides, among other things,
that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture for, among other things, the purposes of (a) establishing the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201
and 301 of the Base Indenture and (b) adding to or changing any of the provisions to the Base Indenture in certain circumstances; 

The Company desires to create a series of Securities designated as its “4.000% Senior Notes due 2024” pursuant to the terms of this

 The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture and the

 Each Guarantor has duly authorized its
Guarantee of the Notes and to provide therefor each Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture. 

All things necessary have been done to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, in
accordance with its terms and to make the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered and under the Indenture and duly issued by the Company, the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.

Issuance of Securities 

Section 1.1 Issuance of Notes; Principal Amount; Maturity; Title. 

(1) On May 30, 2014, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate, the Initial Notes (as
defined herein) substantially in the form set forth in Section 3.2 below, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Base Indenture and this First
Supplemental Indenture, and with such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable tax laws or the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary
therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by the execution of such Notes. 

(2) The Initial Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 and shall
mature on May 30, 2024 (the “Stated Maturity”), unless the Notes are redeemed prior to that date as described in Section 5.1. The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed
$500,000,000, except for Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for
any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Company may without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes hereunder as part of the same series and on
the same terms and conditions (and having the same Guarantors) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Initial Notes, but such additional Notes may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual or
initial interest payment date (“Additional Notes”); provided that if any Additional Notes are issued at a price that causes such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of
Section 1273 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations of the United States Department of Treasury thereunder (the “Code”), such Additional Notes may not have the same CUSIP number as the
Initial Notes; provided further that such Additional Notes issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act may initially be issued under a temporary CUSIP during the applicable Restricted Period. 

(3) The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

 (4) Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company
hereby creates a series of Securities designated as the “4.000% Senior Notes due 2024” of the Company (as amended or supplemented from time to time, that are issued under the Indenture, including both the Initial Notes and the Additional
Notes, if any, the “Notes”), which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture. 

Section 1.2 Interest. 

(1) Interest on a Note will accrue at the per annum rate of 4.000%, from and including the date specified on the face of such Note to, but
excluding, the date on which the principal thereof is paid, deemed paid, or made available for payment and, in each case, will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

(2) The Company shall pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 30, 2014. 
 (3) Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date
to the registered Holders of the Notes after the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined herein). 
 (4) Amounts due on
the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date of the Notes will be payable at the Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest or the Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control
Repurchase Event in respect of the Notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately available funds, while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in Notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of
DTC and its participants in effect from time to time. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that
the Company shall be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for the Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a Note. However, the Company may require Holders of
the Notes to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of Notes. 
 (5) If any Interest Payment
Date, Stated Maturity, or earlier Redemption Date or Repurchase Price Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day in The City of New York, the Company shall make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or
Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that
Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date or Repurchase Price Payment Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.

institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture
and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. Certain modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Section 3.3 Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. 

(1) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance
with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture and in the Global Security) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security to another Global
Security shall deliver to the Security Registrar a duly completed Assignment Form in the form attached to the Global Security, any applicable certifications or opinions required by the Assignment Form and a written order given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security. The Security Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the
Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being
transferred. 
 (2) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in
another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of
the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred. 

(3) If the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require)
that a Note is eligible for resale after the applicable Resale Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the applicable Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor

provision) without the need for current public information and that the applicable legend in either the first or second paragraph of Section 3.2 hereto (a “Restricted Legend”) is
no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to
the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note in any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the
Trustee will comply with such instruction.

 Section 4.1
Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, any one of the

(2) the Company’s failure to pay the Repurchase Price when due in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event. 

Section 4.2 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Section 512 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 512 in the
Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 4.2. 
 Subject to Section 502 of the Base Indenture, the Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default 

(1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note or the Repurchase Price in connection with a Change of
Control Repurchase Event; or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or of the Base Indenture which under Article VII hereof or
under Article IX of the Base Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. 

  


  


  
 - 21 - 








 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this First Supplemental Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

ARTICLE V 
 Redemption of
Securities 
 Section 5.1 Optional Redemption. 

The Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal
to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on any Notes being redeemed (exclusive of
interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 Section 5.2 Base Indenture. 

Any redemption of the Notes under Section 5.1 above shall be in accordance with Article XI of the Base Indenture (Redemption of
Securities). 
 ARTICLE VI 

Particular Covenants 

Section 6.1 Liens. 

The Credit Parties shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any
indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent of their
ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such Subsidiaries, without
providing that the Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the Notes or
thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long
as such other indebtedness is so secured. This Section 6.1 shall not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit
participating equity interests of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

 Section 6.2 Obligation to Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase
Event. 
 (1) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes pursuant
to Article V, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes (the
“Change of Control Offer”) at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the
“Repurchase Price”). 
 (2) In connection with any Change of Control related to a Change of Control Repurchase Event and
any particular reduction in the rating on the Notes, the Company shall request from the Rating Agencies each such Rating Agency’s written confirmation that such reduction in the rating on the Notes was the result, in whole or in part, of any
event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The
Company shall promptly deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied. 

(3) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but
after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall give notice to each Holder of Notes, with a written copy to the Trustee. Such notice shall state: 

(i) a description of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event; 

(ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 6.2; 

(iii) the Repurchase Price and the date on which the Repurchase Price will be paid, which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Repurchase Price Payment Date”); and 

(iv) if the notice is given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, a statement that the offer to purchase is conditioned
on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 
 (4) The Company shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change
of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control 

  


  


  
 - 23 - 








 
Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of
Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 
 (5) On the Repurchase Price Payment Date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Repurchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly
tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased. 
 The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver
to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate (if applicable) and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered a new Note
equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

(6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in respect of the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under Section 5.2; provided that the Company has not failed to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption
Date. 
 Section 6.3 Financial Reports. 

Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the reports, information, and documents delivered under this Section 6.3. 

(1) For so long as AGM is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide
(or cause its Affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after AGM files the same with the Commission, copies of the
annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which AGM may file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In connection with any annual report or quarterly report of AGM, the 

  


  


  
 - 24 - 








 
Issuer will provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system),
unaudited reconciliation indicating the differences between the financial information of AGM and the financial information of the Credit Parties and their subsidiaries on a combined and consolidated basis, taken as a whole, provided that, the
requirement to deliver such unaudited reconciliation shall not be applicable at any time AGM guarantees the Notes. The Trustee may conclusively presume, and shall incur no liability in such presumption, that AGM has not filed any such reports,
information, documents and other reports with the Commission that are not available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system) unless and until it shall have received written notice from
the Company to the contrary. 
 (2) For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding and have not become freely tradeable without
restrictions by non-affiliates of the Credit Parties pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act for the Company and, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), for AGM (as if
such rule applied to it); provided, however, that if at any time the Credit Parties are no longer consolidated with AGM, or AGM does not guarantee the Notes, such information shall be provided for either (i) the Credit Parties on
a combined and consolidated basis, taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties and guarantees the Notes (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Persons). The Company shall, or shall cause
its Affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.
