        Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated. 

        1.    Interest.    the Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 8% per annum from the
Issue Date until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest (and

"Interest Payment Date"). The first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2003. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
between a Record Date (defined below) referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Company
shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate then in effect;
it shall pay interest (including Accrued Bankruptcy Interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

        2.    Method of Payment.    The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) (and Liquidated
Damages, if any) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each a "Record Date"),
even if such 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
Notes shall be payable as to principal, interest, premium, if any, (and Liquidated Damages, if any) at the office or agency of the Company maintained within the City and State of New York for such
purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and  provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account within the United States shall be required with respect to principal
of and interest, premium, if any (and Liquidated Damages, if any), on all Global Notes. 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. 

        3.    Paying Agent and Registrar.    Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture,
shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

        4.    Indenture.    The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of the Issue Date ("Indenture") by and
among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. 

        5.    Optional Redemption.    

        (a)   Except
as set forth in clause (b) of this Section and clause (b) of Section 3.7 of the Indenture, the Company shall not have the option to redeem
the Notes pursuant to this Section or Section 3.7 of 

the
Indenture prior to May 15, 2007. The Notes shall be redeemable for cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2007, upon not less than
30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder at its last registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the
principal amount) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing May 15 of the years indicated below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest (and Liquidated
Damages, if any) thereon to the date of redemption of the Notes (the "Redemption Date"): 

	Year
 
	 	Percentage
	 
	2007	 	104.0	%
	2008	 	102.0	%
	2009 and thereafter	 	100.0	%

        (b)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of clause (a) of this Section or clause (a) of Section 3.7 of the Indenture, at any time on or prior to
May 15, 2006, upon one or more Public Equity Offerings of the Company's common stock for cash, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture may be
redeemed at the Company's option within 90 days of the closing of any such Public Equity Offering, on not less than 30 days, but not more than 60 days, notice to each Holder of
the Notes to be redeemed, with cash received by the Company from the Net Cash Proceeds of such Public Equity Offering, at a redemption price equal to 108% of principal, together with accrued and
unpaid interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that immediately following each such redemption not
less than 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued pursuant to the Indenture on the Issue Date remain outstanding. 

        (c)   Notice
of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to date fixed for redemption to the Holder of
each Note to be redeemed to such Holder's last address as then shown upon the register books of our registrar. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral
multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to 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 such payments due on the redemption date. 

        6.    Mandatory Redemption.    If the HIGH TIDES Redemption has not occurred by the Trigger Date, the Company shall,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 of the Indenture, redeem (a "Mandatory Redemption") all of the outstanding Notes, for a price equal to 101% of their principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the redemption date (the "Mandatory Redemption Price"). The Mandatory Redemption must occur no later than 10 days after the Trigger Date. Except
for a Mandatory Redemption, the Company shall not, and the Guarantors shall not, be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes and the Notes shall not have the benefit of
any sinking fund. 

        7.    Offers to Purchase.    

        (a)   Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such
Holder's option, pursuant to an offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) by the Company (the "Change of Control Offer"), to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part of such Holder's Notes (provided, that the principal amount of such Notes must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the "Change of
Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 35 Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and
unpaid interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any), to the Change of Control Purchase Date. 

        The
Change of Control Offer shall be made within 15 Business Days following a Change of Control and shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days following its commencement (the
"Change of Control Offer Period"). Upon expiration of the Change of Control Offer Period, the Company shall promptly purchase all Notes properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. 

        (b)   Asset Sale. If the Company or its Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, within 30 days after the date that the
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15,000,000, the Company shall apply an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds by making an offer to repurchase the Notes and such other Indebtedness with similar
provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law,
if any) (pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue
discount) of the Notes and such other Indebtedness then outstanding) (the "Asset Sale Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (or accreted value in the case of
Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount), together with accrued and unpaid interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) to the date of payment. Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a
minimum of 20 Business Days following its commencement. 

        8.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.    The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and 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 the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need
not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

        9.    Persons Deemed Owners.    The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

        10.    Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.    Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees
may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Defaults (other than a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision
of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of

of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (b) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator
or similar official of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or (c) effects any
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 

        (6)   a
default in the Company's Indebtedness or the Indebtedness any of the Company's Subsidiaries with an aggregate amount outstanding in excess of $10,000,000

        (8)   any
Guarantee of a Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or becomes unenforceable or invalid or is declared null and void (other than in accordance with the
terms of the Guarantee and this Indenture) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its Obligations under its Guarantee. 

        Holders
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture or in the TIA. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. 

        If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice in the manner and to the extent provided
by Section 313(c) of the TIA of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.

manner provided in Section 10.7 and Article XI of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt. The Company and the Guarantors agree, and each Holder by
accepting a Note consents and agrees, to the subordination provided in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect. 

        13.    Trustee Dealings with Company.    The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner of
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 

        14.    No Recourse Against Others.    No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder (direct or indirect) of the Company or the Guarantors (or any such successor entity), as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the
Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
Obligations or their creation, except in their capacity as an obligor or Guarantor of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

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

        16.    Abbreviations.    Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM

Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

in Section 10.5 of the Indenture. 

        The
obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders and to the Trustee pursuant to this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article X of the Indenture and
reference is hereby made to such Indenture for the precise terms of this Guarantee. 

        The
obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders and to the Trustee pursuant to this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly subordinated to Senior Debt of the Guarantor as set forth
in Section 10.7 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to such Section for the precise terms of such subordination. 

        No
past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder (direct or indirect) of the Guarantors (or any such successor entity), as such, shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Guarantors under this Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation, except in their capacity as an obligor or Guarantor of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 

        This
is a continuing Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns until full and final payment of all of
the Company's obligations under the Notes and Indenture or until released or legally defeased in accordance with the Indenture and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Trustee and the Holders, and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon that party shall automatically extend
to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof. This is a Guarantee of payment and performance and not of collectibility. 

        This
Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Note upon which this Guarantee is noted shall have been executed by the
Trustee under the Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. 

        The
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that it does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. 

        THE
TERMS OF ARTICLE X AND XI OF THE INDENTURE ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. 

        Capitalized
terms used herein have the same meanings given in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Guarantors has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
