The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA 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 Notes are obligations of the Company limited to $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount plus any Additional Amounts. 5. Optional Redemption. At any time and from time to time until the Transition Date shall have occurred, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon the notice provided in Section 3.03 of the Indenture in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 3.04 of the Indenture on the Redemption Date for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount (including Additional Amounts) of the Notes to be redeemed together in each case with accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, but without premium, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

The Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or this Note to the contrary, except pursuant to the foregoing provisions; provided that the Company may pay any Additional Amounts at any time at par (including through a redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture) whether or not a Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice has become effective pursuant to Section 3.02(c). Prior to the Transition Date any optional redemption described in this paragraph and any mandatory redemption described in paragraph 6 below may be made by the Company by providing written notice to the Holder or Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) not less than two days in advance of such prepayment specifying the Redemption Date and the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. Any such redemption which is a partial redemption shall be made on a pro rata basis. 6. Mandatory Redemption. Until the Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice becomes effective, upon receipt of Take-Out Proceeds after the date of this Indenture in an amount equal to or greater than $5.0 million, and on the day preceding the Transition Date, the Company shall redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be redeemed with Take-Out Proceeds on deposit with the Trustee at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid Interest to the Redemption Date but without premium, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 of the Indenture; provided that the Company shall not be required to redeem Notes pursuant to this provision if, and only for so long as, and to the extent restricted by a Redemption Restriction or after the day preceding the Transition Date. At any time on or after May 13, 2005, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by delivery of a Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice elect to terminate the Company's mandatory redemption obligations effective as of the Transition Date (which date shall not be fewer than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Company) specified in such notice; provided, however, that (i) the right to deliver the Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect in the event that the Initial Holder and its Affiliates shall cease to hold at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) a Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice may be revoked at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the specified Transition Date by further written notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee) from the Holders that delivered the Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice. A revoked Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice shall have no force or effect and, upon revocation, the right to deliver the Mandatory Redemption Termination Notice shall be reinstated on the 91st day following such revocation (subject, nevertheless, to clause (i) of the foregoing proviso). Page 6 of 12 7. Notice of Redemption. Except as set forth in the final sentence of paragraph 5, notice of redemption will be mailed at least 20 days but not more than 40 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. No Notes of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if less than $1,000, shall be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in payment on the redemption date. 8. Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, this Note will be repurchased at the option of the holder on the Repurchase Date specified by the Company in accordance with the Indenture at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid Interest to but excluding the Repurchase Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date; provided that the Company shall not be required to repurchase Notes if and for so long as such repurchase is restricted by a Redemption Restriction.

The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of such Change of Control. For a Note to be so repurchased at the option of the holder, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, such Note with the form entitled "OPTION TO ELECT REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL" on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Note, duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Repurchase Date. Holders have the right to withdraw any such repurchase election by delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) a written notice of withdrawal up to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date, all as provided in the Indenture. If cash sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to all Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased as of the Repurchase Date is deposited with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) on the Business Day following the Repurchase Date, Interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) on and after the Repurchase Date and the holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon surrender of such Note. 9.
