<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This section describes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. The debt securities will be our direct general
obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. We will issue any debt securities under a senior debt
indenture dated as of April&nbsp;12, 2010 between us, the subsidiary guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities,
we will describe the specific terms for the debt securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this
prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities. If any of the terms of a series of debt securities that are described in a prospectus supplement are inconsistent with any of the terms of
the debt securities or the indenture as described in this section, then the description of those terms in that prospectus supplement will supersede and replace any different or inconsistent
description in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have summarized certain terms and provisions of the indenture. The summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the indenture, which is filed as an exhibit
to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. You should read the indenture for the provisions which may be important to you. The indenture is subject to and governed by
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. We may issue debt securities up to an aggregate principal amount as we may authorize from time to time. The

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the notes because an Event of Default described in clause&nbsp;(5) above has occurred and is continuing, the
declaration of acceleration of the notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to such clause&nbsp;(5) shall be
remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of such indebtedness within 30&nbsp;days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1)&nbsp;the annulment of the acceleration of
the notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2)&nbsp;all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the
notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes, have been cured or waived. Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series may seek to
institute a proceeding only after they have made written request, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee to institute a proceeding and the trustee has failed to do so within
60&nbsp;days after it received this notice. In addition, within this 60-day period the trustee must not have received directions inconsistent with this written request from holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series. These limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for the enforcement of the payment of
principal, interest or any premium on or after the due dates for such payment. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee is required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise as a prudent person would under the circumstances in the conduct of that person's own affairs. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee is not under any obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable debt securities unless those holders have offered to the trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the
trustee. Subject to certain provisions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on the trustee. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
trustee will, within 90&nbsp;days after any default occurs with respect to the debt securities of any series that is known to the trustee, give notice of the default to the holders
of the debt securities of that series, unless the default was already cured or waived. Unless there is a default in paying principal, interest or any premium when due, the trustee can withhold giving
notice to the holders if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more
global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or
your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must
physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities
represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor's beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the
investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Registered Global Securities  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue the registered debt securities in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a
depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be
issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until
it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global
security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the
prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ownership
of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold
interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants' accounts with the
respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate
the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states
may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in
registered global securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So
long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner
or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered
global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the
securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered
global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the </FONT></P>

of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we
request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable
indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would
authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Principal,
premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the
depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Valmont, its affiliates, the trustee or any other agent of Valmont, or agent of the
trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of
underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants' accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests
in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held
through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in "street name,"
and will be the responsibility of those participants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90&nbsp;days, we will issue securities in
definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be
registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary's instructions will be based upon
directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement may constitute
forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that management has made in light of
experience in the industries in which the Company operates, as well as management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be
appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance
or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company's control) and assumptions. Although
management believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company's actual financial results and cause them
to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include among other things, risk factors described from time to time in the Company's reports to the SEC,
as well as future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operating efficiencies, availability and price of raw material, availability and
market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, and actions and policy changes of domestic and foreign governments. The Company cautions that
any forward-looking statement included in this prospectus is made as of the date of this prospectus and any forward-looking statement included in the accompanying prospectus supplement is made as of
the date of the prospectus supplement and the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement except as required by applicable law or regulation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Article&nbsp;VIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Valmont, Valmont shall, to the extent required, and
may, to the extent permitted, by Section&nbsp;102 and Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, indemnify and reimburse all persons
whom it may indemnify and reimburse pursuant thereto. No director shall be liable to Valmont or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, a director
shall continue to be liable for (1)&nbsp;any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to Valmont or its stockholders; (2)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)&nbsp;paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which would violate Section&nbsp;174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware;
or (4)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
By-Laws of Valmont provide for indemnification of Valmont officers and directors against all expenses, liabilities or losses reasonably incurred or suffered by the officer or
director, including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, to the extent legally permissible under Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware where any
such person was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact such person
was serving Valmont in such capacity. Generally, under Delaware law, indemnification will only be available where an officer or director can establish that such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Valmont. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valmont
also maintains a director and officer insurance policy which insures the officers and directors of Valmont and its subsidiaries against damages, judgments, settlements and costs
incurred by reason of certain wrongful acts committed by such persons in their capacities as officers and directors. </FONT></P>

pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>
