WHEREAS, the Company has determined to authorize the creation of its 8³/8% Senior Notes due 2021, and currently desires to issue Notes in the aggregate amount of $400,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”) and, if and when issued pursuant to a registered or private exchange for the Initial Notes, the Company’s 8³/8% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Exchange Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture, the Company may establish one or more Series of Securities from time to time as authorized by a supplemental indenture; and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, and a valid amendment of, and supplement to, the Indenture have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree, as follows:

ARTICLE I

Scope of Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture

The changes, modifications and supplements to the Original Indenture affected by this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes, which shall be unlimited in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time and which may be issued from time to time, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Original Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. Except as specifically amended and supplemented by, or to the extent inconsistent with, this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Notes issued under this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, outstanding at such time; provided, however, that if any Notes issued under this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date are determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel for the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to be a different class of security than the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the Company may obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Notes that is different than the “CUSIP” number printed on the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

However, in the case of any loan to value maintenance agreement (or similar agreement) by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary agrees to maintain for a joint venture a minimum ratio of Indebtedness outstanding to value of collateral property, only amounts owing by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary (or which would be owing upon demand of the lender) at such date under such agreements will be included in Indebtedness. In addition, the amount outstanding at any time of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount shall be deemed to be the face amount of such Indebtedness less the remaining unamortized portion of the original issue discount of such indebtedness at such time as determined in conformity with GAAP.

(1)

the Company’s “Investment” in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation, less

(2)

the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation.

In determining the amount of any Investment made by transfer of any property other than cash, such property shall be valued at its fair market value at the time of such Investment as determined by the Board of Directors, in good faith.

assets to be paid to the lender, waste and mechanics’ liens, will in each case not prevent Indebtedness from being classified as Non-Recourse Indebtedness.

“Rating Category” means:

(3)

In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and - for S&P and Fitch; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for any other Rating Agency) will be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P and Fitch a decline in rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).

“Rating Decline” means the decrease (as compared with the Rating Date) by one or more gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories of the rating of the Notes by at least two of the three Rating Agencies during the period commencing on the Rating Date and ending 60 days after the applicable Change of Control (which period will be extended for so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). If less than three Rating Agencies are rating the Notes on any Rating Date, the ratings of the Rating Agency (or Rating Agencies) not rating the Notes will be deemed to have decreased by one or more gradations within Rating Categories or between Rating Categories until three Rating Agencies rate the Notes.

The securing in the foregoing manner of any such Indebtedness which immediately prior thereto was not Secured Indebtedness shall be deemed to be the creation of Secured Indebtedness at the time security is given.

Redemption

SECTION 4.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent, as defined below, of 100% of the present values of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest thereon from the redemption date to January 15, 2021 for the Notes to be redeemed, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date (the “Remaining Life”), discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

As used in this Section 4.01:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the Remaining Life.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its successors; provided, however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, a “primary treasury dealer,” the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer, and (2) two other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any

successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, then on and after such redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part.

Anything to the contrary in the Original Indenture notwithstanding,

(a) If all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.

(b) Any notice of redemption mailed pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Original Indenture may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

(c) Redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof.

SECTION 4.02. Acceleration. The principal amount of the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 4.03. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to

101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control Triggering Event, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

(a) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or will occur and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount outstanding at the repurchase date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Repurchase Price”);

(b) the circumstances and relevant facts and relevant financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(c) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Repurchase Date”);

(d) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(e) that any Note accepted for payment shall cease to accrue interest after the Repurchase Date;

(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the Notice at least five days before the Repurchase Date;

(g) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than three days prior to the Repurchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Note purchased; and

(h) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control Triggering Event, state that the right to require the Company to

purchase such Holders’ Notes is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Repurchase Date.

On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof properly tendered, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Notes so accepted, payment in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. The Company will publicly announce the results on, or as soon as practical after, the Repurchase Date. For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

(b) upon discharge of the Indenture, as provided under Article Eight of the Original Indenture (as amended pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof);

(c) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in respect of the Notes as set forth under Article Eight of the Original Indenture.

(d) any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Company, directly or indirectly, owning less than 80% of such Subsidiary;

(e) any Guarantor ceasing to guarantee all Other Public Notes and any other notes issued by the Company under an indenture or comparable documents to indentures used in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or

(f) the designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture,

and in each such case such Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee with respect to the Notes without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder. In the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or Capital Stock of such Guarantor to an entity which is not (after giving

effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company, the Person acquiring such assets or stock of such Guarantor shall not be subject to the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee.

An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Article X with respect to the Notes upon notice from the Company to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder.

The Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the redemption in full, retirement or other discharge of Notes. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 10.03.

Any Guarantor not released in accordance with this Section 10.03 remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article X.

SECTION 10.04. Limitation of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the guarantee by each Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the parties hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 10.06), result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.05. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. (a) Except as permitted under Section 10.03, no Guarantor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction to which subsection (b) applies, unless (i) the Person acquiring the property in any such transfer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture (including its Guarantee of the Notes) pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any transfer of all or substantially all assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation, merger, or transfer between a Guarantor and the Company or another Guarantor, the Guarantee given by the non-surviving or transferring Guarantor in the transaction shall no longer have any force or effect.

SECTION 10.06. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee with respect to the Notes, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to any Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of the Notes. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Guarantor in respect of the obligations of its Guarantee of the Notes), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of the Notes, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Company in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 10.07. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect to all Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or

unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.07 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.08. Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Guarantors agrees to jointly and severally, with the Company, indemnify the Trustee as set forth in Section 7.07 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 10.09. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article X, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Article X shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.11. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE XI

Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

SECTION 11.05. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Company in this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as Notes Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

A-6

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) being transferred to an IAI or (C) is being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)), IAI Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(1)(B)) or Permanent Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes, IAI Global Notes or Permanent Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, a new Rule 144A Global Note, IAI Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall

A-7

reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

2.4 Definitive Notes

(a) Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. A Global Note is exchangeable for certificated Notes only if: (A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for such Global Note or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor depository within 90 days after the date of such notice, (B) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all the Notes represented by such Global Note, or (C) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Note. Any Global Note that is exchangeable for certificated Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for certificated Notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC or any successor depositary holding such Global Note may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the

A-12

name of the Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes exchangeable for certificated Notes, (x) certificated Notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, (y) payment of principal of, and, if any, premium with respect to, and interest on, the certificated Notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Notes will be registerable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes, and (z) no service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the certificated Notes although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Definitive Notes issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000 and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e), bear the restricted securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.

(c) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Note.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

(e) While the Notes remain outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, furnish to Holders of the Notes and prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by such Holders, upon the request of such Holders or prospective purchasers, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

8³/8% Senior Notes due 2021

1. Interest. (a) STANDARD PACIFIC CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2011 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from December 22, 2010. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(b) From and after the Original Issue Date, the holder of this Note will be entitled to the benefits of an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Original Issue Date, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement. In the event that (i) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 120th day following the Original Issue Date, (ii) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective on or prior to the 210th day following the Original Issue Date, (iii) the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated on or prior to the 255th day following the Original Issue Date and no Shelf Registration Statement has been filed, (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the later of (A) the 210th day following the Original Issue Date and (B) the 90th day after the Company’s obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises, or (v) after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable (other than during any Deferral Period or as set forth below) in connection with resales of the Notes at any time that the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness thereof pursuant to the Registration Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above being referred to herein as a “Registration Default”), interest (the “Special Interest”) shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes (in addition to stated interest on the Notes) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured or are no longer continuing. Special Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default and at a rate of 0.50% per annum thereafter (it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary above, (A) if there are multiple Registration Defaults, there will be no duplication of Special Interest, and the maximum Special Interest shall be 0.50% per annum, (B) so long as any Notes are not Registrable Securities, no Special Interest shall accrue on such Notes, and (C) a Holder of Registrable Securities who is not entitled to the benefits of a Shelf Registration Statement (i.e., such Holder has not elected to include information) shall not be entitled to Special Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to such Shelf Registration Statement). A Registration Default referred to in cause (v) above will be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of the filing of a post-effective

A-A-5

amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement and for such time as is reasonably necessary to incorporate annual audited financial information, quarterly financial information or other required information where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders of the Notes to use the related prospectus and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such post-effective amendment declared effective.

(c) In addition to any suspension of effectiveness necessary to update the information contained in a Shelf Registration Statement described above, during any 365-day period, the Company and the Guarantors may suspend the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement for a period of no more than 45 days in any three-month period and no more than 90 days in any 365-day period, without incurring Special Interest, if there is a possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event involving the Company or its subsidiaries that may require disclosure in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement and the Company determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In such a case, the Company will promptly notify holders of the Notes of the suspension of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be; provided that such notice will not require the Company to disclose the possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event if it determines in good faith that such acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event should remain confidential. Upon the abandonment, consummation or termination of the possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event, or the availability of the required financial statements with respect to a possible acquisition or business combination, the suspension of the use of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, pursuant to this subsection (c) will cease and the Company will promptly notify the holders of the Notes that the use of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, as amended or supplemented, as applicable, may resume.

(d) The Special Interest will be payable in cash semiannually in arrears each January 15 and July 15.

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof except as provided in Section 3.02(g)(i) of the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture (as defined below).

An existing Default (other than a Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or Default with respect to a provision which cannot be modified under the terms of the Indenture without the consent of each Holder affected) may be waived by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding upon the conditions provided in the Indenture.

12. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations.

13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the 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 Holder 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.

15. Discharge of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to defeasance and discharge, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
