(1) INTEREST . Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 9.000% per annum from June 8, 2009 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”). Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2009. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of 9.000% to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue instalments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of 9.000% to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT . The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Securities will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, 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 will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Securities and all other Securities the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.

The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act (the “ TIA ”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Securities are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION .

(a) The Company may redeem all or a part of the Securities at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

(b) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

(c) Any redemption pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.05 of the Indenture.

(6) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER . If there is a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “ Change of Control Offer ”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “ Change of Control Payment ”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION . Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Securities held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE . The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities 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 Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(9) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS . The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER . Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such modification, to add, change or eliminate any provision of, or to modify the rights of such Holders.
