                  In addition, on or prior to April 15, 2005, the Company may,
at its option redeem up to 35% of the outstanding Notes with the net proceeds of

least $227.5 million principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding after such

                  (iii) to offer to purchase 10% of the original outstanding
         principal amount of the Notes in the event that, at the end of any two
         consecutive fiscal quarters, the Company's Consolidated Tangible Net
         Worth is less than $85 million; PROVIDED that no such offer shall be
         required if, following such two fiscal quarters but prior to the date
         the Company is required to make such offer, capital in cash or cash

         the Company's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth after giving effect to

                  In the event less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at
any time, selection of the Notes to be redeemed will be made by the Trustee from
among the outstanding Notes on a PRO RATA basis, by lot or by any other method
permitted by the Indenture. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 15 days
but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to

6.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.
                  The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2002, among the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers named therein (as such may
be amended from time to time, the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). Capitalized
terms used in this subsection but not defined herein have the meanings assigned
to them in the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  If (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed
with the Commission on or before the 90th calendar day following the Issue Date
or, if that day is not a Business Day, then the next day that is a Business Day;
(ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or
before the 150th calendar day following the Issue Date or, if that day is not a
Business Day, then the next day that is a Business Day; (iii) the Exchange Offer
is not completed on or before the 180th calendar day following the Issue Date
or, if that day is not a Business Day, then the next day that is a Business Day;
or (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed but is not
filed or declared effective within the time periods required by the Registration
Rights Agreement or is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective
or usable (subject to certain exceptions) (each such event referred to in
clauses (i) through (iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), the interest rate borne by
the Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum upon the occurrence of a
Registration Default. This rate will continue to increase by 0.25% each 90 day
period that the Liquidated Damages (as defined below) continue to accrue under
any such circumstance. However, the maximum total increase in the interest rate
will in no event exceed one percent (1.0%) per year. The increase in the
interest rate on the Notes is referred to as "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES." Such interest
is payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with
respect to the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes in cash on each interest
payment date to the Holders of record for such interest payment date.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer
or exchange Notes by presentation of such Notes to the Registrar or a
co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an
equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations. The Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Note selected for
redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if the Note is redeemed in part,
or transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Notes to be redeemed.


8.       PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
                  The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes.


9.       UNCLAIMED MONEY.
                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to
the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look
to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another
person.


10.      AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT, WAIVER.
                  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may
be amended or supplemented with the consent (which may include consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any
existing Default or Event of Default (other than any continuing Default or Event
of Default in the payment of interest on or the principal of the Notes) under,
or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived with the
consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes or
waive any provision of the Indenture to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, to comply with Section 3.10 of the Supplemental Indenture; to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to certificated Notes; to make any
change that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of
any Holder; to comply with or qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act; or to reflect a Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be liable on the Subsidiary
Guarantees because it is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company.

Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under
the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Note
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.
