PNA INTERMEDIATE HOLDING CORPORATION

Senior Floating Rate Toggle Notes due 2013

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

(1) Interest.

(a) PNA Intermediate Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its successor (together, “PNA”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (“Senior Note”) at a floating rate. PNA will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, commencing on May 15, 2007, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Senior Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including February 12, 2007; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Senior Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after February 12, 2007), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of Senior Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of authentication. PNA shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Senior Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Senior Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by U.S. laws of general application.

Cash Interest (defined below) on the Senior Notes will accrue at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus the Spread (defined below), as determined by the calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”), which shall initially be The Bank of New York, and be payable in cash. For any Interest Period after the initial Interest Period, the Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Senior Notes (1) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) or (2) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes or by issuing additional PIK Notes (“PIK Interest”). PIK Interest on the Senior Notes will accrue at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% plus the Spread, as determined by the Calculation Agent. PNA must elect the form of payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) with respect to each Interest Period (other than the initial Interest Period) by delivering a notice to the Trustee not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of each such Interest Period. The Trustee shall within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of such an election for any Interest Period, interest on the Senior Notes shall be payable according to the election for the previous Interest Period. Interest for the first Interest Period commencing on the Issue Date shall be payable entirely in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of Senior Notes as described under Sections 3.7, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 of the Indenture shall be made solely in cash. At all times, PIK Interest on the Senior Notes will be payable (x) with respect to Senior Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of, or held by, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding global Senior Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) and (y) with respect to Senior Notes represented by certificated notes, by issuing PIK Notes in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Company, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in certificated form for original issuance to the holders on the relevant record date, as shown by the records of the register of holders. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding global Senior Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Senior Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. All Senior

 

4


Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on February 15, 2013 and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Senior Notes issued on the Issue Date. Any certificated PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of this Senior Note (i) references to Senior Notes include any Additional Notes actually issued and PIK Notes actually issued and (ii) references to “principal amount” include any increase in the principal amount of outstanding notes (including PIK Notes) as a result of a PIK Payment.

For the purposes of the Senior Notes, the following definitions shall apply:

“Spread” means 7.00%, plus, for each Interest Period commencing (1) on or after the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days following the consummation of a Qualified Equity Issuance and (ii) the first anniversary of the Issue Date, and prior to the first anniversary of the date that is 90 days following the consummation of a Qualified Equity Issuance or the second anniversary of the Issue Date, as applicable, 0.50%, and (2) on or after (i) the first anniversary of the date that is 90 days following the consummation of a Qualified Equity Issuance or (ii) the second anniversary of the Issue Date, as applicable, an additional 0.50%.

“Senior Floating Rate Toggle Notes” means the Senior Notes.

Subject to the issuance of PIK Notes, the Senior Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of Senior Notes, except in certain circumstances for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g. 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(b) Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2007, among the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers.

(2) Method of Payment. PNA will pay interest on the Senior Notes (except defaulted interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of Senior Notes at the close of business on the February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Senior Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Senior Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of PNA maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of PNA, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Senior Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to PNA and the Paying Agent. 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.

Any payments of principal of and interest on this Senior Note prior to Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of this Senior Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Senior Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes.

(3) Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. PNA may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent without notice to any Holder. PNA or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 

5


(4) Indenture. PNA issued the Senior Notes under an Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between PNA Intermediate Holding Corporation and the Trustee. The terms of the Senior Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this Senior Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The Senior Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. The Senior Notes issued on the Issue Date are senior Obligations of PNA limited to $170,000,000 in aggregate principal amount at maturity, plus amounts, if any, sufficient to pay premium and interest on outstanding Senior Notes as set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof. The Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Notes and PIK Notes subject to compliance with certain conditions.

(5) Optional Redemption.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) The Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of PNA upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount at maturity from the Issue Date up to (but not including) February 15, 2008 and thereafter at the percentage set forth below across from the corresponding year (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount at maturity of the Notes to be redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the applicable 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), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on February 15 of the years set forth below:

(6) Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Except as set forth under Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 4.10 and 4.14 of the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes.

(b) Under certain circumstances, if the Senior Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, PNA shall be required to redeem for cash that portion of each Senior Note then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount at maturity thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the date of redemption.

(7) Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require PNA to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, PNA will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer required by the Indenture.

(8) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Senior Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Senior Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in a minimum amount of $2,000 principal amount (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), unless all of the Senior Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Senior Notes or portions hereof called for redemption.

(9) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Senior Notes are in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of the Senior Notes may be registered and the Senior Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and PNA may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. PNA need not exchange or register the transfer of any Senior Note or portion of a Senior Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Senior Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Senior Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(10) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Senior Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to the following paragraphs, the Indenture and the Senior Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Senior Notes, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or, tender offer or exchange offer for Senior Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Senior Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Senior Notes, including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Senior Notes.

Without the consent of any Holders, PNA, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture for any of the following purposes:

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company in the Indenture and in the Senior Notes;

(10) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Senior Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in the PNA Intermediate Holding Corporation Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Senior Notes.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes, PNA, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or the Senior Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under the Indenture, including the definitions therein; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Senior Note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of any Senior Note or of any installment of interest on any Senior Note, or reduce the amount payable in respect of the principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable thereon, or reduce the amount that would be due and payable on acceleration of the maturity thereof, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Senior Note or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or change the date on which any Senior Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price therefor,

(2) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Indenture,

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Notes waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences, except a default:

(3) failure to perform or comply with the Indenture provisions described under Section 5.1 thereof;

(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes;

(5) a default or defaults under any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of Debt (including the PNA Notes but excluding the Senior Notes) by the Company, PNA Group or any Restricted Subsidiary having, individually or in the aggregate, a principal or similar amount outstanding of at least $15.0 million, whether such Debt now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default or defaults shall have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Debt prior to its express maturity or shall constitute a failure to pay at least $15.0 million of such Debt when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto;

(6) the entry against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary of a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $15.0 million, by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which judgments remain undischarged, unwaived, unstayed, unbonded or unsatised for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(7) (i) the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(a) commences a voluntary case,

(b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(c) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

(d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

(e) generally is not paying its debts as they become due;

 

9


or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(a) is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case;

(b) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(c) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal of the Senior Notes and any accrued interest on the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Senior Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Senior Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Senior Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Senior Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Senior Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Senior Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) above occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Senior Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so.

(14) Trustee Dealings with PNA. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for PNA or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with PNA or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(15) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator, past, present or future, of PNA or any of its Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of PNA under the Senior Notes or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator.

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

(17) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
