Interest (a) Alamosa (Delaware), Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2002. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful. (b) Liquidated Damages. The holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2001, among the Company, the Subsid iary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the "Regis tration Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registra tion Agreement. If (i) on or prior to the 90th day following the date of original issuance of the notes, neither the Exchange Offer Regis tration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, (ii) on or prior to the 180th day following the date of original issuance of the notes, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, (iii) on or prior to the 210th day following the date of original issuance of the notes, neither the Registered Ex change Offer has been consummated nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, or (iv) after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of notes in accordance with and during the periods specified in the Registra tion Rights Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) a "Registration Default"), interest ("Special Interest") will accrue (in addition to the stated interest on the notes and the Exchange Notes) on the principal amount from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Special Interest will accrue on the principal amount of the Securities consti tuting Transfer Restricted Securities held by such holder at a rate of 0.25% per annum until the applicable Registration Statement is filed or declared effective, the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective, as the case may be. All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to holders in the same manner as interest payments on the Securities on semi-annual payment dates which correspond to interest payment dates for the Securities. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages shall cease. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the amount of any such liquidated damages. For purposes of the foregoing, "Transfer Restricted Securities" means (i) each Security until the date on which such Security has been exchanged for a freely transferable New Secu rity in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) each Security until the date on which such Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with a Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) each Security until the date on which such Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 2. Method of Payment The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on August 1 or February 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect princi pal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including princi pal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immedi ately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discre tion). 3. Paying Agent and Registrar Initially, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., a national banking association (the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 2 4. Indenture The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of August 15, 2001 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "TIA"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company limited to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount (subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture). The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsid iaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Debt, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to consoli date or merge with or into any other Person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Property of the Company or any such Subsidiary Guarantor. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors have, jointly and severally, guaranteed the due and punc tual payment of the principal and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture. The Subsidiary Guaranties are subordi nated in right of payment to each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with respect to Designated Senior Debt. 5. Optional Redemption Except as set forth below, the Securities are not redeemable prior to August 15, 2006. On and after that date, the Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (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 redemption), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on or after August 15 of the years set forth below: 3 Period Redemption Price 2006................................................................106.813% 2007................................................................104.542% 2008 ...............................................................102.271% 2009 and thereafter.................................................100.000% Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to August 15, 2004 the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities issued with the proceeds from one or more Public Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 113.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (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 redemption); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Public Equity Offering. 6. Sinking Fund The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund. 7. Notice of Redemption Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 8. Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due 4 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. 9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 10. Persons Deemed Owners The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 11. Unclaimed Money If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 12. Discharge and Defeasance Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 13. Amendment, Waiver Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. 5 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article V of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to make certain changes in the subordination provisions; (v) to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to release Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary Guaranties as provided in the Indenture; (vi) to secure the Securities; (vii) to add additional covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (viii) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or (ix) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 14. Defaults and Remedies If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, subject to certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any further act of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. 15. Trustee Dealings with the Company Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 6 16. No Recourse Against Others A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 17. Authentication This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 18. Abbreviations Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 19. Governing Law THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 20.
