6.250% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015

        Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

        1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.250% per annum from the date hereof until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2006. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal from time to time on demand at a rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on this Note to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

        2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company shall pay all principal, interest and premium, and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder's Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

        3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee under the Indenture shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

        4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of January 10, 2005, as supplemented by the First Supplement to the Indenture dated as of [●],

A-6

2005 (the "Indenture") between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those specifically made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

        5. Optional Redemption. (a) Except as set forth in paragraphs 5(b) and (c) below, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to January 15, 2010. On or after January 15, 2010, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of the years indicated below:

2011

102.083%

2012

101.042%

        (b) At any time prior to January 15, 2008, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 106.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (2) the redemption must occur within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

        (c) At any time prior to January 15, 2010, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

        6. Repurchase at Option of Holder. Upon the occurrence of (a) a Change of Control, the Holders of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder's outstanding Notes on the terms set forth in the Indenture and (b) an Asset Sale, the Company may be obligated to make offers to purchase Notes with a portion of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale on the terms set forth in the Indenture.

        7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate

A-7

endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption.

        8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

        9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived only in accordance with the Indenture.

        10. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from events of bankruptcy or insolvency specified in the Indenture, all outstanding Notes may become due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

        11. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

        12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

        13. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

        14. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

        16. Copies of Documents. The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to:
