In addition, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if the Notes have been called for redemption to the extent that the Company mails a valid notice of redemption to Holders prior to the Change of Control, and thereafter redeems all Notes called for redemption in accordance with the terms set forth in such redemption notice.

The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any Secured Indebtedness if such Secured Indebtedness is secured by a Lien upon Restricted Property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the issuance, assumption or guarantee of any such Secured Indebtedness, that the Securities of any series then or thereafter Outstanding that have the benefit of this Section 3.04 or Section 10.05 of the Base Indenture or any substantially similar covenant (together with, if the Company

-13-

shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally and ratably with such Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all such Secured Indebtedness; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to:

(a) any Lien on Restricted Property of any corporation if such Lien is in existence at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(b) any Lien on Restricted Property if such Lien is in existence at the time of acquisition by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Restricted Property;

(c) any Lien on Restricted Property to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price (or other acquisition cost) of such Restricted Property or to secure any Indebtedness incurred (prior to, at the time of, or within one year after, the acquisition by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Restricted Property) for the purpose of, or in connection with, financing all or any part of the purchase price (or other acquisition cost) thereof;

(d) any Lien on property of a corporation if such Lien was in existence prior to the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or prior to the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(e) any Lien securing Secured Indebtedness owing by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to any other Restricted Subsidiary;

(f) any Lien on Restricted Property in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments, or performance of any other obligations, pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction of the Restricted Property subject to such Lien, including, without limiting the generalities of the foregoing, Liens to secure pollution control or industrial revenue bonds or other types of financings;

(g) any Lien on personal property (other than manufacturing equipment) that is Restricted Property;

(h) any lien arising from Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted under Section 3.05 of this First Supplemental Indenture; or

(i) any extension or renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Secured Indebtedness, Sale and Leaseback Transaction or any Lien referred to in clauses (a) through (h), inclusive, of this Section 3.04; provided, however, that the principal amount of Secured Indebtedness (or Attributable Debt relating to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction) secured by the Lien shall not exceed the

-14-

principal amount of Secured Indebtedness (or Attributable Debt relating to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction) so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the Restricted Property which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such Restricted Property).

SECTION 3.05 Sale and Leaseback Transactions . So long as the Securities of any Series are Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, with any Person providing for the leasing by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of any Restricted Property owned at the date hereof, which Restricted Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person or to any other Person where funds have been or are to be advanced to such Person subject to a Lien on the Restricted Property to be leased (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”), unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04 (other than Section 3.04(h)), to incur Secured Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Restricted Property to be leased in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities of any series then or thereafter Outstanding that have the benefit of Section 3.04 or Section 10.05 of the Base Indenture or any substantially similar covenant, or (b) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the proceeds from the sale of such Restricted Property to the retirement, within 120 days of the effective date of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, of Funded Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that this Section 3.05 shall not prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from: (a) entering into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction not involving a lease with a term of more than three years, or (b) entering into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction in respect of any Restricted Property owned at the date hereof by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction or commencement of operation of such Restricted Property.

ARTICLE 4

Subsidiary Guarantees

SECTION 4.01 Guarantees . (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any such Guaranteed Obligation. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar formalities.

(b) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any security held for the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Trustee or any Holder in favor of the Company.

(c) Except for termination of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture; (iii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee may,

-16-

at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be.

(e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.

SECTION 4.02 Limitation on Liability . Any term or provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 4.03 Successors and Assigns . This Article 4 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, transferees and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes.

SECTION 4.04 No Waiver . Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 4 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 4 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 4.05 Modification . No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 4, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

-17-

SECTION 4.06 Release of Subsidiary Guarantor . A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Article 4 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 4.07):

(1) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(3) unless there is an existing Event of Default on the date the Subsidiary Guarantee would be released, at such time and for so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not Guarantee (other than a Guarantee that will be released upon the release of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) any Indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;

(4) at any time during a Suspension Period if the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Company elects to have such Subsidiary Guarantor released from this Article 4; or

(5) upon the exercise by the Company of its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option or if the obligations of the Company relating to the Notes under the Indenture are discharged pursuant to the terms thereof;

provided , however , that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by the Indenture.

The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of Notes if the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor is released. At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company.

SECTION 4.07 Contribution . Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as the Company’s 8.75% Notes due 2020, limited in aggregate principal amount to Dollars ($ ) (herein referred to as the “Notes”).

The Notes are subject to redemption, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the sole election of the Company, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days’ notice by mail to the Depositary at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of their principal amount, and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as herein defined) thereon, discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate (as herein defined) plus fifty basis points (0.50%), plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date. In determining the Redemption Price and accrued interest, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. As used herein, the term: (a) “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date; (b) “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes; (c) “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, as appointed by the Company; (d) “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations; (e) “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices

A-3

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or the portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions specified in the Indenture are satisfied, on and after such date interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture, any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s sole discretion, be made subject to the Company’s successful completion of a financing transaction.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants, in each case upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this Series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. “Event of Default” means any one of the events specified at clauses (a), (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture and clauses (16)(i) and (ii) of Section 2.01 of the Supplemental Indenture.

Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default with respect to the Securities has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 3.01 (the “Suspended Covenant”) of the Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes. In addition, the Company may elect to suspend the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes. Upon and following any Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than its Excluded Subsidiaries) shall again be subject to the Suspended Covenant with respect to the Notes with respect to future events and the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Securities shall be reinstated.

The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by each Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Supplemental Indenture. The precise terms of

A-4

the Guarantee of the Securities and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Securities are expressly set forth in Article 4 of the Supplemental Indenture.

Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes of this series will be represented by one or more global securities (collectively, the “Global Security”) registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the “Depositary”), or a nominee of the Depositary. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered holder and owner of this Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. The Global Security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary.

A-5

The Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Notes represented by such Global Security to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“participants”). Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of interests in such Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to participants’ interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security).

The Global Security is exchangeable for Notes in definitive form of like tenor as such Global Security in denominations of $1,000 and in any greater amount that is an integral multiple thereof if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all of the Notes of this series represented by a Global Security and notifies the Trustee thereof, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Note that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence is exchangeable only for Notes of this series.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Supplemental Indenture and if not defined in the Supplemental Indenture, such terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture.
