This Security shall bear interest at an initial rate of 3% per year on the principal amount hereof, from November 22, 2002 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which payment has been paid or duly provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date") to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on April 1 and October 1 (each, a "Regular Record Date") (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on Securities converted during the period after a Regular Record Date, but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (i) will not be required to be paid on the Interest Payment Date if the Security has been called for redemption on a redemption date that occurs during the period; (ii) will not be required to be paid if the Security is to be redeemed in connection with a fundamental change on a redemption date that occurs during this period; or (iii) if the Security is not called for redemption during this period, will be paid to the Holder of the Securities on the Regular Record Date but, upon conversion, the Holder must pay the Company the interest which has accrued and will be paid on such Interest Payment Date unless at the time of conversion there is a default in the payment of interest on the Securities. If the principal amount of a Security, premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or any portion thereof, is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture, upon the date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof, upon the date set for payment of the Purchase Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof, or upon the Stated Maturity of this Security), then, in each such case, the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at the annual rate of 1% above the applicable interest rate on the Securities, compounded semi-annually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date of payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand and shall be based on a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided below, interest and Liquidated Damages Amounts, if any, will be paid (i) on the Global Securities to the Depositary by wire transfer in immediately available funds, (ii) on the definitive Securities having an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of such Securities, and (iii) on the definitive Securities having an aggregate principal amount of more than $2,000,000, by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the written election of the Holders of these Securities. 1. 2. Method of Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in cash in respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices, Fundamental Change Purchase Prices and at Stated Maturity to Holders who surrender Securities to the Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds or check payable in such money. 3. Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the "Trustee") will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar. 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of November 22, 2002 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee. 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 of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provisions of this Security and the Indenture conflict, the provisions of the Indenture shall control. The Securities are subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company limited to $135,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Security in larger type. Requests may be made to: PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. 5995 Plaza Drive Cypress, California 90630 Attn: General Counsel 2. 5. Redemption at the Option of the Company. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part, on or after October 18, 2007 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice by mail for a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"). The redemption price shall be paid in cash. 6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Security will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at the Holder's registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities or portions thereof immediately after such Redemption Date. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 of principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 of principal amount, if less than all of the Securities are being redeemed. 7. Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, all or any portion of the Securities held by such Holder on any Purchase Date in integral multiples of $1,000, if less than all of the Securities are being purchased, at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Purchase Date. To exercise such right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company a Purchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date until the close of business on such Purchase Date, and shall deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture. The Purchase Price shall be paid in cash. (b) At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to offer to purchase the Securities held by such Holder as of a date that is 30 days after the date of notice of a Fundamental Change delivered by the Company (or, if such 30th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) for a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Company shall mail a written notice of a Fundamental Change by first class mail to the Trustee and the Holders no later than 10 days after the occurrence of the Fundamental Change. Such notice shall describe the purchase right arising as a result of such Fundamental Change. To exercise such purchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice containing 3. the information set forth in the Indenture at any time prior to the 30th day after the date of the delivery of the Fundamental Change Notice and shall deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture. The Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid in cash. (c) Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. If cash sufficient to pay the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all Securities or portions thereof to be purchased on the Purchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Purchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities or portions thereof immediately after such Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon surrender of such Security. 8. Conversion. (a) The Securities may be converted into shares of common stock on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture and this Security. (b) Holders may surrender Securities or portions thereof for conversion into shares of Common Stock during any calendar quarter if the Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter exceeds 110% of the applicable Conversion Price per share of Common Stock on such last trading day. (c) During the five Business Day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures for each day of such ten day period was less than 95% of the product of the Sale Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures; PROVIDED that if on the date of any conversion pursuant to this clause (c) the Sale Price of the Common Stock is greater than the Conversion Price, a holder shall receive, in lieu of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price, cash or Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company's option, with a value equal to the principal amount of the holder's Debentures plus accrued interest as of the Conversion Date. Any Common Stock delivered pursuant to the foregoing proviso will be valued at the greater of (i) the Conversion Price on the conversion date and (ii) the Sale Price on the third trading day after the conversion date. (d) A Holder also may surrender for conversion a Security or portion of a Security which has been called for redemption pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof, even if the Security would not otherwise be eligible for conversion, until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due on the Redemption Date, in which case the conversion right 4. shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such payment is made. (e) If the Company (1) distributes any rights or warrants to all holders of shares of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days of such distribution) to purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Sales Prices of a share of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such distribution or (2) distributes to all holders of shares of its Common Stock any of its debt securities or assets or any rights, warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Sales Price on the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, unless the Holder may participate in this distribution without conversion, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion beginning on the date the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall be not less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for such dividend or distribution, and the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time thereafter until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Time or until the Company announces that such distribution will not take place. (f) A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The initial Conversion Rate is 23.8095 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. A Holder that surrenders Securities for conversion will receive cash or a check, or, at the Company's option, a whole share of Common Stock, in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock. To surrender a Security for conversion, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the shares of Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. Except as provided in Paragraph 1 hereof, on conversion of a Security, the Holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued interest with respect to the converted Securities. Instead, upon conversion the Company will deliver to the Holder a fixed number of shares of Common Stock and any cash payment to account for fractional shares. Accrued interest will be deemed paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued interest. 5. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Article X of the Indenture. The Company may increase the Conversion Rate for any period of at least 20 days, upon at least 15 days' notice so long as the increase is irrevocable during such period. In addition, the Company may increase the Conversion Rate if the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any stock or rights distribution. In addition, if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, in each case pursuant to which the Company's common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, the Holder may surrender its debentures for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until and including the date which is 15 days after the actual date of such transaction. If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, in each case pursuant to which the Company's common stock is converted into cash, securities, or other property, then at the effective time of the transaction, the Holder's right to convert a debenture into the Company's common stock will be changed into a right to convert it into the kind and amount of cash securities and other property which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted the its debenture immediately prior to the transaction. 9. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. Any Securities called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of such Securities at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Company to purchase such Securities from the Holders, to convert them into shares of Common Stock and to make payment for such Securities to the Trustee in trust for such Holders. 10. Subordination. The Securities are subordinated to Senior Debt as provided in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt must be paid before the Securities may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, to the subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect. 11. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange the Securities in accordance with the Indenture. 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 Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the 6. Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 12. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes. 13. Unclaimed Money or Securities. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. 14. Amendment; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities among other things, (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, provided that such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect; (ii) to modify the restrictions on, and procedures for, resale and other transfers of Securities pursuant to any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or in practice relating to the resale or transfer of "restricted securities" under the Securities Act generally; (iii) to comply with Article V or Section 10.16 of the Indenture; (iv) to secure the Company's obligations or to add any guarantee under the Securities and the Indenture; (v) to add events of default with respect to the Securities; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; (vii) to make any change necessary for the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or to comply with the TIA, or any amendment thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, provided that such modification or amendment does not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities; (viii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to provide for bearer Securities; (ix) to increase the Conversion Price in accordance with Paragraph 8 of the Securities; (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee pursuant to 7. Section 7.8 of the Indenture; or (xi) to add or modify other provisions herein with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder that the Company and the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable and that will not materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders. 15. Defaults and Remedies. Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in payment of the principal amount or premium, if any, on any Security when the same becomes due and payable upon redemption or otherwise, whether or not the payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture; (ii) default in the payment of any interest or Liquidated Damages Amounts, if any, when due and payable, and the continuance of such default for a period of 30 days, whether or not the payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture; (iii) failure by the Company to comply in any material respect with other agreements or covenants in the Indenture or the Securities, for sixty (60) days after notice; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. 16. Trustee Dealings with the Company. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 17. Calculations in Respect of Securities. The Company or its agents will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Securities. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determination of the Sales Prices for the Common Stock, the rate of interest payable on the Securities and the Conversion Rate of the Securities. Any calculations made in good faith and without manifest error will be final and binding on Holders of the Securities. The Company or its agents will be required to deliver to the Trustee a schedule of its calculations and each of the Trustee and the Trustee will be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will forward the Company's calculations to any Holder of the Securities upon the request of such Holder. 8. 18. Successor Persons. When a successor person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor person will be released from those obligations. 19. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 20. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication on the other side of this Security. 21. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 22. GOVERNING LAW. THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD AS TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. 23. Registration Rights. The Holders of the Securities are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2002, by and among the Company and the Initial Purchasers, including the receipt of Liquidated Damages Amounts in respect of Events (each as defined in such agreement). 9.
