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 “4.400% Senior Notes due 2026” pursuant to the terms of this

 The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the
Notes (as defined herein) to be issued from time to time, as provided for in the Indenture. 
 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 Fourth Supplemental Indenture. 

All things necessary have been done to make this Fourth 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.

ARTICLE I  
 Issuance of

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

(1) On May 27, 2016, 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 Fourth Supplemental

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 27, 2026 (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 “4.400% Senior Notes due 2026” 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 4.400%, 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 27 and November 27 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 27, 2016. 
 (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).

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.

except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be
issued thereunder. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event
of a conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture.

liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee has failed to 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

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. 

  
 - 20 – 

 (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.

(7) except as otherwise provided herein, a Guarantee of any Guarantor (other than an Insignificant Guarantor) ceases to be in full force and

 Section 4.2 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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. 

  
 - 23 – 

 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 Fourth 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. 

Prior to February 27, 2026, the Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time and from time to time,

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 40 basis points, plus in each case
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 On or after February 27, 2026, the Notes will be redeemable

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 

  
 - 24 – 

 
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; 

  
 - 25 – 

 (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 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. 

  
 - 26 – 

 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 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.

“Description of the Notes” or similarly captioned section of any offering memorandum, offering circular, prospectus supplement or similar offering document relating to Securities of such series, in each case, as stated in an Officers’
Certificate; 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 7.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 For the purposes of the Base
Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, no amendment to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes made solely to conform this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Base
Indenture or the Notes to the Description of the Notes contained in the Company’s offering memorandum dated May 24, 2016, shall be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any Notes.

	4.	Performance and Service Vesting Criteria: Subject to the terms of this Award, including Sections 5, 6 and 7 below, this Award, to the extent not then vested and not previously forfeited, shall vest upon
satisfaction of the performance criteria set forth in Section 4(a) (the “Performance Condition”) and the service criteria set forth in Section 4(b) (the “Service Condition”). 

[            ] 

 

	5.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs while the Award is outstanding, the provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to the Award, to the extent not then vested and not previously forfeited,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Award to the contrary (but subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 13 below): 

(a) Immediately prior to consummation of the Change of Control, (i) the Performance Condition described in Section 4(a) above shall
be deemed fully satisfied at the Award Target Level; (ii) all or a portion of the Award shall vest to the extent the Service Condition described in Section 4(b) above is satisfied on the Change of Control date; and (iii) if the
Committee does not provide for a rollover award as described in Section 5(b) below or a “cash out” of the Award as described in Section 5(c) below, the Award shall automatically and immediately vest in full. 

(b) The Committee in its discretion may, but shall not be required to, provide in connection with the Change of Control that, in lieu of the
acceleration described in Section 5(a)(iii) above, any unsatisfied Service Condition described in Section 4(b) shall continue to apply (with such appropriate adjustments as the Committee may determine) from and after the Change of Control
to such award or to any stock, cash or other property into which such award is converted or for which it is exchanged in connection with the Change of Control (any such award or other stock, cash or other property, a “rollover award”) on
such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances to reflect the transaction, having in mind the requirements for exemption under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Any rollover award
shall provide for vesting of the award on a basis that is not less favorable than the following: 
 (i) The Award, to the
extent not then vested and not previously forfeited, shall vest to the extent the Service Condition described in Section 4(b) is satisfied by the Grantee’s continuous employment by the Company (including in the term “Company” for
this purpose any successor to the 

 
Company in the Change of Control and any affiliates of the Company or such successor). The Award, to the extent not then vested and not previously forfeited, shall be forfeited at the time of
termination of Grantee’s employment for any reason to the extent the Service Condition described in Section 4(b) is not then satisfied, subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below. 

(ii) In the event Grantee’s employment is terminated as a result of a “qualifying event” occurring upon or
within twenty-four months following the Change of Control, any portion of the rollover award not then vested and not previously forfeited on the date of such termination shall vest in full. For purposes of this Section 5(b)(ii),
“qualifying event” shall mean an involuntary termination (other than for Cause) of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, an involuntary termination (other than for Cause) shall include
a termination by reason of death or Disability. If immediately prior to the Change of Control Grantee is party to an employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary, or is eligible to participate in a Company plan, in
each case that has been approved by the Committee and that provides for severance or similar benefits upon a voluntary termination for “good reason” in connection with a change of control of the Company, a “qualifying event” for
purposes of this Section 5(b)(ii) shall also include a voluntary termination for “good reason” as defined in the applicable agreement or plan. 

(c) In lieu of the acceleration described in Section 5(a)(iii) or the provision for a rollover award described in Section 5(b), the
Committee in its discretion may, but shall not be required to, provide for a “cash out” of the Award. For purposes of this Section 5(c), a “cash out” shall mean a payment in cash or property in exchange for the Award in an
amount equal to the aggregate fair market value as determined by the Committee of the deferred shares of Stock subject to the Award, subject in the case of any “cash out” to such hold-backs or other transaction-related adjustments, and on
such other terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine having in mind the requirements for exemption under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 

All references to the Committee in this Section 5 shall be construed to refer to the Committee as constituted and acting prior to
consummation of the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, no Committee action permitted by this Section 5 will be treated as an action requiring the Grantee’s consent under Section 10 of the Plan. 

 

	6.	Termination of Employment: [            ] 

  

	7.	Additional Forfeiture Conditions: [            ] 

  

	8.	Delivery of Shares: To the extent the Award entitlement has vested as to any share under Section 4, Section 5 or Section 6 above, and as soon as practicable after such vesting but in no
event later than the 15th day of the 3rd month following the close of the calendar year in which such vesting occurs or, if later, the close of
the fiscal year of the Company in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall transfer to Grantee (or, if Grantee has died, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Grantee in writing in such form, and delivered prior to his or her
death to such person at the Company, as specified by the Company or, in the absence of such a designation, to the legal representative of Grantee’s estate) such share of Stock evidenced either by a stock certificate or by such other evidence of
record ownership as the Company deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8 shall be applied on a basis that to the satisfaction of the Committee enables Grantee to participate, as applicable, as a
shareholder (on the same basis as other holders of Stock) to the extent any shares are deliverable under the Award by reason of vesting under Section 5(a)(ii) above.  

 

	9.	No Dividend Rights: Subject to Section 14 below, Grantee shall not be eligible to receive dividends in respect of the shares subject to the Award, unless and until such time as such shares are earned
and delivered to the Grantee. 

  

	10.	No Voting Rights; Rights as Shareholder: The Award does not entitle Grantee to any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock subject to the Award, unless and until such shares of Stock
have been transferred to Grantee. Grantee shall have no voting rights in respect of any shares subject to the Award, unless and until such time as such shares are earned and delivered. 

	11.	Unsecured Obligation; No Transfers: The award is unfunded and unsecured, and Grantee’s rights to any Stock or cash hereunder shall be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
The Award may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except for disposition at death as provided above. 

  

	12.	Section 409A: The Award and the Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, described in Section 14 below are intended to constitute arrangements that qualify as a “short term deferrals” exempt from
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed accordingly. 

  

	13.	Withholding: Grantee (or beneficiary) shall, no later than the date on which any share of Stock is transferred to Grantee or beneficiary and as a condition to such transfer, pay to the Company in cash, or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes or social contributions of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award. If any taxes or social contributions are required to be
withheld prior to such transfer of such share of Stock (for example, upon the vesting of the right to receive such share), the Company may require Grantee or beneficiary to pay such taxes or social contributions timely in cash by separate payment,
may withhold the required taxes or social contributions from other amounts payable to Grantee or Beneficiary, or may agree with Grantee or Beneficiary on other arrangements for the payment of such taxes or social contributions, all as the Company
determines in its discretion. Grantee shall be entitled to tender shares in satisfaction of minimum required tax withholding with respect to vesting under the Award. 

 

	14.	Dividend Equivalent Payment: Upon the vesting of the Award as to any share of Stock, Grantee shall be entitled to a cash payment by the Company in an amount equal to the amount that Grantee would have received,
if any, as a regular cash dividend had he or she held such share of Stock from the date of the award to the date of vesting. Any such dividend equivalent payment shall be paid, if at all, (a) without interest, (b) after deduction of all
applicable taxes and social contributions and (c) at the same time as the relevant share of such Stock is to be transferred to Grantee under Section 8 above.  

 

	15.	Additional Provisions:  

 (a) Additional Country-Specific Terms.
[            ] 
 (b) Other. This Award shall be deemed to
satisfy, to the extent of the Shares subject hereto, any undertaking by the Company to make an annual award of performance-based restricted stock to the Grantee with respect to the performance period described herein.
