                    8 7/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2007



1.    BOOK ENTRY.


      This Note is a book-entry Note registered in the name of a nominee of the
Depositary. This book-entry Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the
name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole
or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this book-entry Note may
not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary.

      The Notes represented by this book-entry Note are exchangeable for
definitive Notes in certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof only if (i) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for this book-entry Note or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor, (ii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such book-entry Note
shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and
be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series. Any
Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable
for certificated Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in
such names as the Depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, this book
entry Note is not exchangeable, except for a book-entry Note or book-entry Notes
of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depositary or
its nominee.

      Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

2.    INTEREST.

            Outdoor Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note semiannually on
June 15 and December 15 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing on December 15, 1997 at the rate of 8 7/8% per annum. Interest will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on
the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original
issuance of the Notes.

            The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and on overdue
premium, if any, and overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate equal to
the rate of interest otherwise payable on the Notes.

3.    METHOD OF PAYMENT.

            The Company will pay interest on this Note provided for in Paragraph
2 above (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the registered Holder
of this Note at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 preceding the
Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and
interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that the
Company may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by check payable in
such money. It may mail an interest check to the Holder's registered address.

4.    PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

            Initially, The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation (the
"Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders of the Notes. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent
but may act as registrar or co-registrar.

5.    INDENTURE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

            The Company issued this Note under an Indenture dated as of June 23,
1997 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The
terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code
Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This
Note is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note is referred to
the Indenture and said Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. All
capitalized terms in this Note, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings
assigned to them by the Indenture.

            The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited
to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Indenture imposes certain
restrictions on, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness, the
incurrence of liens and the issuance of capital stock by the Company and its
subsidiaries, mergers and sale of assets, the payments of dividends on, or the
repurchase of, capital stock of the Company, certain other restricted payments
by the Company and its subsidiaries, the creation of subsidiaries, certain
transactions with, and investments in, its affiliates.

6.    SUBORDINATION.

            The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment
to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior
Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture, and this Note is issued subject to
such provisions. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to
and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee,
on behalf of such Holder, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints
the Trustee attorney-in-fact of such Holder for such purpose.

7.    OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

            2005 and thereafter.......................      100.000%
</TABLE>

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may redeem in the
aggregate up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes at any time
and from time to time prior to June 15, 2000 at a redemption price equal to
108.875% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued interest to
the redemption date out of the Net Proceeds of one or more Public Equity
Offerings; provided, that at least $325.0 million of the principal amount of the
Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
any such redemption and that any such redemption occurs within 60 days following
the closing of any such Public Equity Offering.

8.    NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

            Notice of redemption will be mailed via first-class mail at least 30
days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at its registered address as it shall appear on the
register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar. On and after any Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption unless the Company shall fail to redeem any such Note.

<PAGE>   7
9.    OFFERS TO PURCHASE.

            The Indenture requires that certain proceeds from Asset Sales be
used, subject to further limitations contained therein, to make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Indenture. The Company is also required to make an offer to purchase Notes
upon occurrence of a Change of Control in accordance with procedures set forth
in the Indenture.

10.   DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

            The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or
exchange of Notes 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 register the transfer of or exchange any Note
selected for redemption or register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or any Note after
it is called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion
of any Note being redeemed in part.

11.   PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

            The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it
for all purposes.

12.   UNCLAIMED MONEY.

            If money for the payment of principal, premium or interest on any
Note remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the
money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to money
must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an "abandoned
property" law designates another person.

13.   AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.

            Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be
modified, amended or supplemented by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding and any existing default or compliance with any
provision may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the
consent of Holders, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Notes or supplement the Indenture for certain specified
purposes including providing for uncertificated Notes in addition to
certificated Notes, and curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or making
any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any
Holder.


                                       7

14.   SUCCESSOR ENTITY.

            When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its
predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and immediately before and
thereafter no Default exists and certain other conditions are satisfied, the
predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations.

15.   DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

            If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding
may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may
require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the
Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes
notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in
payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest.

16.   TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.

            The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company, any Guarantor or their Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

17.   NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

            As more fully described in the Indenture, a director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor shall not have
