 If any interest has
accrued on this Security in respect of any period prior to the issuance of this Security, such interest shall be payable in respect of such period at the rate or rates borne by the Predecessor Security surrendered in exchange for this Security from

entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register. 
 Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 Reverse of Security 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 7.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (herein called
the “Securities”), which may be issued under an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2011 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee
(herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $            ; provided, however, that the Company may
from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of Securities, create and issue further Securities of this series (the “Additional Securities”) having the same terms and ranking equally and ratably with the
Securities of this series in all respects and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities of this series, or in all respects except for payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Securities or except for the first
payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Securities. Any Additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as the
Securities. Any Additional Securities may be issued pursuant to authorization provided by a Board Resolution, a supplement to the Indenture, or under an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to the Indenture. No Additional Securities may be issued if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of this series. 
 On or after July 15,
2016, the Company may redeem Securities, at its option in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the
applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below: 
  

					
	Year	  	Percentage	 
	 2016
	  	 	103.875	% 
	 2017
	  	 	102.583	% 
	 2018
	  	 	101.292	% 
	 2019 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 Any redemption of this Security shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1101 through
1106 of the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 This Security does not have the benefit
of any sinking fund obligations.

 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 under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities,
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 or on behalf of 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 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 registrable on the
Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, 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 authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered
form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes or other governmental charges payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Prior to
the time of due presentment of this Security 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

assigned to them in the Indenture.
