     Section 2 THE GUARANTEE. The guarantee of the Guarantor hereunder is as
follows:
     Section 2.1 Guarantee Of Extensions Of Credit To Borrowers. The Guarantor
hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured
Parties and their successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt
payment, when and as due (whether at stated maturity, on mandatory prepayment by
acceleration or otherwise), and performance of all of the Obligations of the
Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

would accrue but for the operation of any provision or doctrine with respect to
the Bankruptcy Code, as hereinafter defined, and whether or not an allowed
claim) (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee
is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its
obligations under this Guarantee (a) shall be joint and several with any other
Persons which may at any time or from time to time be or become directly or
indirectly financially responsible to the Secured Parties with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations (any such Person, an “Obligor”) and (b) shall be under
all circumstances primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and
unaffected by:
          (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any
future amendment of, or change in, this Guarantee, the Loan Agreement, any other
Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument to which the Guarantor
or any Borrower or other Obligor is or may become a party;
          (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Guarantee, any other
Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Secured Parties with respect to
any of the provisions hereof or thereof;
          (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure of the Agent to
perfect its Lien against, any Collateral or any action, or the absence of any
action, by the Agent in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the
release of any Collateral);
          (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Guarantor or any
Borrower or any other Obligor including, but not limited to, (A) any of the
Secured Parties’ election, in any proceeding instituted under Title 11 of the
United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. or any replacement or supplemental
federal statutes dealing with the bankruptcy of debtors (the “Bankruptcy Code”),
of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) any
borrowing or grant of a Lien by the Guarantor or any Borrower or any other

Sections 502, 510, 544, 547, 548 or 550 of the Bankruptcy Code;

any other Obligor into or with any other Person, or any sale, lease or transfer
of any or all of the assets of the Guarantor or any Borrower or any other
Obligor to any other Person;
          (vi) any circumstance which might constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of the Guarantor or any Borrower or any other Obligor (other than
the defense of payment of the Obligations);
          (vii) any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Equity Interests
of the Guarantor or any Borrower or any other Obligor;
          (viii) absence of any notice to, or knowledge by, the Guarantor of the
existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the
foregoing subdivisions (i) through (vii); or
          (ix) any other fact or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, a surety or guarantor (other than the
fulfillment of the termination requirements under Section 7.12 hereof); it being
agreed by the Guarantor that its obligations under this Guarantee shall not be
discharged until the payment and performance, in full, of the Guaranteed
Obligations (including all interest and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of
enforcement

or preservation and protection of Collateral payable by the Borrowers under the
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents which may at any time accrue with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or which would accrue but for the
operation of any provision of or doctrine with respect to the Bankruptcy Code
and whether or not an allowed claim) or the written release of the Guarantor by
the Secured Parties, whichever shall occur first. The Guarantor shall be
regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor (and not merely
as surety) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantor
specifically agrees that, notwithstanding any discharge of any Borrower or any
other Person or the operation of any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any such Persons, the Guarantor shall
be fully responsible for paying all interest and reasonable out-of-pocket costs
of enforcement or preservation and protection of Collateral which may at any
time accrue with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or which would accrue but
for the operation of any provision of or doctrine with respect to the Bankruptcy
Code and whether or not an allowed claim. The Guarantor expressly waives all
rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or
at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Secured Parties to proceed in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Guarantor, any Borrower or any
other Person or against any Collateral before proceeding against, or as a
condition to proceeding against, the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that any
notice or directive given at any time to the Secured Parties which is
inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately preceding sentence shall be null
and void and may be ignored by the Secured Parties, and, in addition, may not be
pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guarantee
for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the
written terms of this Guarantee unless the Agent has specifically agreed
otherwise in writing. It is agreed between the Guarantor and the Secured Parties
that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by
the Loan Documents and that, but for this Guarantee and such waivers, the
Secured Parties would decline to enter into the Loan Agreement.
     Section 2.2 Demand By The Agent. In addition to the terms of the Guarantee
set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, and in no manner imposing any other limitation
on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if any or all of the
then outstanding principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (together with
all accrued interest thereon) becomes due and payable, then the obligations of
the Guarantor shall, at the option of the Agent, without notice or demand,
become due and payable and the Guarantor shall, upon demand in writing therefor
by the Agent to the Guarantor, pay to the holder or holders of the Guaranteed
Obligations the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations due and owing to such holder
or holders. Payment by the Guarantor shall be made in Dollars to the Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in immediately available Federal
funds to an account designated by the Agent or at the address set forth herein
for the giving of notice to the Agent or at any other address that may be
specified in writing from time to time by the Agent.
     Section 2.3 Enforcement Of Guarantee. In no event shall the Agent or any of
the other Secured Parties have any obligation (although the Agent is entitled,
at the Agent’s option) to proceed against any Borrower or any other Person or
any Collateral before seeking satisfaction from the Guarantor, and the Agent may
proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of the
Secured Parties’ rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which the
Agent or any of the other Secured Parties may have against any Collateral. The
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any
other Obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any Borrower, and a separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether or
not action is brought against any other Obligor or any Borrower, and whether or
not any such Persons are joined in any such action or actions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Section 2.4 Waiver. In addition to the waivers contained in Section 2.1
hereof, the Guarantor waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or redemption or
similar laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which
may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantor of its
obligations under, or the enforcement by the Agent or any of the other Secured
Parties of, this Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment
and demand (whether for nonpayment or protest or of acceptance, maturity,
extension of time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations,
acceptance of further security, release of further security, composition or
agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the Guaranteed
Obligations, notice of adverse change in any Borrower’s or any other Obligor’s
financial condition or any other fact which might materially increase the risk
to the Guarantor) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or all other
demands whatsoever, and further waives notice of default or any failure on the
part of any Borrower or any other Obligor to perform and comply with any
covenant, term or condition of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
The Guarantor further waives all notices which may be required by statute or
rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against
the Guarantor and waives the benefit of all provisions of law which are or might
be in conflict with the terms of this Guarantee. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby specifically waives the benefits of N.C.
Gen. Stat. Sections 26-7 through 26-9, inclusive. The Guarantor hereby waives
any requirement on the part of any holder of any note to mitigate the damages
resulting from any default under such note. The Guarantor represents, warrants
and agrees that, as of the date of this Guarantee, the Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guarantee are not subject to any offsets or defenses against any of
the Secured Parties or any Borrower. The Guarantor further agrees that its
obligations under this Guarantee shall not be subject to any counterclaims,
offsets or defenses against any of the Secured Parties or any Borrower which may
arise in the future (other than fulfillment of the termination requirements
under Section 7.12 hereof).
     Section 2.5 Benefit Of Guarantee. The provisions of this Guarantee are for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and
permitted transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall
impair, as among the Borrowers, the Guarantor and the Secured Parties, the
obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantor under the Loan Documents. In the
event all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations are transferred, endorsed or
assigned by the Secured Parties to any Person or Persons in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Agreement, any reference to “Secured Parties” herein shall be
deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.
     Section 2.6 Modification Of Guaranteed Obligations. If the Secured Parties
shall at any time or from time to time, with or without the consent of, or
notice to, the Guarantor:
     (a) make Loans and extend other credit to any Borrower, change the time,
manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any portion of, the
Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise waive or consent to any departure from the
terms of any Loan Document;
     (b) take any action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the
exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to it
at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such
remedies, powers or privileges;
     (c) amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Loan Documents;

- 5 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (d) extend or waive the time for and of the Guarantor’s, any Borrower’s or
any other Person’s performance of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or
agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Loan Documents, or
waive such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of, or departure
from, such performance or compliance;
     (e) take and hold Collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any Collateral
to secure any indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Borrower to the Secured
Parties;
     (f) release or limit the liability of anyone who may be liable in any
manner for the payment of any amounts owed by the Guarantor or any Borrower to
the Secured Parties;
     (g) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or subordination
agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of the Guarantor or any
Borrower are subordinated to the claims of any of the Secured Parties; and/or
     (h) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts
owing by the Guarantor or the Borrowers to the Secured Parties in such manner as
the Secured Parties shall determine in their discretion;
then the Secured Parties shall not incur any liability to the Guarantor pursuant
hereto as a result thereof and no such action shall impair or release the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee.
     Section 2.7 Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective in the event any petition is filed by or
against any of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other Person for liquidation
or reorganization, in the event any of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other
Person becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
in the event a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part
of any of the Borrowers’, the Guarantor’s or such other Person’s assets, and
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof,
is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Secured Parties, whether as a “voidable
preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment
or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations
shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
     Section 2.8 Waiver Of Subrogation. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
UNTIL INDEFEASIBLE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS (A) ALL RIGHTS OF
SUBROGATION (WHETHER CONTRACTUAL, UNDER SECTION 509 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE,
UNDER COMMON LAW, OR OTHERWISE) TO THE CLAIMS OF THE SECURED PARTIES AGAINST ANY
BORROWER AND (B) ALL CONTRACTUAL, STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW RIGHTS OF
CONTRIBUTION, REIMBURSEMENT, INDEMNIFICATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS AND “CLAIMS” (AS
SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE BANKRUPTCY CODE) AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER
OBLIGOR WHICH ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS GUARANTEE.
     Section 2.9 Continuing Guarantee: Transfer Of Notes. This Guarantee is a
continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment
and performance in full

- 6 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(including after the Commitment Termination Date) of the Guaranteed Obligations
and termination of the Lenders’ Commitments, (ii) be binding upon the Guarantor
and its successors and permitted transferees and assigns, and (iii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, to the
benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors,
transferees, endorsees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of foregoing
clause (iii), any Lender or the Agent may, except as limited by the express
terms of the Loan Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer any Loan or Commitment
held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the
Secured Parties herein or otherwise.
     Section 2.10 Waiver of Certain Rights. The Guarantor understands that the
exercise by any of the Secured Parties or the Agent, of certain rights and
remedies contained in the Loan Agreement may affect or eliminate the Guarantor’s
right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrowers and any other
Obligors and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally
nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, the Guarantor hereby
authorizes and empowers the Agent, and each of the other Secured Parties, to
exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination
thereof, which may then be available under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law,
since it is the intent and purpose of the Guarantor that the obligations
hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by the Secured Parties, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against any Borrower or other Obligor by the operation of law or
otherwise. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any security agreement
with respect to any or all personal property secured thereby, the Guarantor
shall remain bound under this Guarantee, including the Guarantor’s obligation to
pay any deficiency after a nonjudicial foreclosure.
     Section 3 SUBORDINATION OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Unless waived by the Agent
and the requisite number of Lenders in accordance with the Loan Agreement, any
indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby
subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such
indebtedness of any Borrower to the Guarantor collected or received by the
Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held
in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or
limiting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under any other provision
of this Guarantee.
     Section 4 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Guarantor agrees, upon the written
request of the Agent, and at the Guarantor’s expense, to execute and deliver to
the Agent, from time to time, any additional instruments or documents considered
necessary by the Agent to cause this Guarantee to be, become or remain valid and
effective in accordance with its terms.
     Section 5 PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES.
     Section 5.1 Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Guarantor
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes). If the Guarantor shall be required by law to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to
any of the Secured Parties, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that, after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes
(including

- 7 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 5), the relevant Secured Parties receive an amount equal to the sum they
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Guarantor shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Guarantor shall pay the full amount so
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. If Agent or any Lender determines that it has received a
refund, credit or other reduction of taxes in respect of any Taxes paid by the
Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.1, such Person shall, within 30 days from
the date of actual receipt of such refund or the filing of the tax return in
which such credit or other reduction results in a lower tax payment, pay over
such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to the Guarantor (but only to
the extent of Taxes paid by the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.1), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund).
     Section 5.2 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of the Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Guarantor contained in this Section 5 shall survive the payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Guaranteed Obligations that are
Contingent Obligations that survive the termination of the Loan Documents) and
termination of the Lenders’ Commitments.
     Section 6 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In addition to any Liens granted under any of
the Loan Documents and any rights now or hereafter available under Applicable
Law, Agent and each Lender (and each of their respective Affiliates) is hereby
authorized by the Guarantor at any time that an Event of Default exists, without
notice to the Guarantor or any other Person (any such notice being hereby
expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits,
general or special (including certificates of deposit whether matured or
unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Debt at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or
the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations of the Guarantor arising under the Loan Documents to Agent, such
Lender or any of their Affiliates, including all Guaranteed Obligations and all
claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this
Guarantee, irrespective of whether or not (i) Agent or such Lender shall have
made any demand hereunder, (ii) Agent, at the request or with the consent of the
Required Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans
and other amounts due under the Loan Agreement to be due and payable as and even
though such Guaranteed Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (iii) the
Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations is adequate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each of Agent and Lenders agree with each other that it shall not,
without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall (to the
extent that it is lawfully entitled to do so) upon the request of the Required
Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the
Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate
of any of them, but the Guarantor shall not have any claim or cause of action
against Agent or any Lender for any setoff made without the consent of the
Required Lenders and the validity of any such setoff shall not be impaired by
the absence of such consent. If any party (or its Affiliate) exercises the right
of setoff provided for hereunder, such party shall be obligated to share any
such setoff in the manner and to the extent required by Section 13.5 of the Loan
Agreement.
     Section 7 MISCELLANEOUS.
     Section 7.1 Amendments. Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Guarantee and any consent to any departure by the Guarantor from any provision
of this Guarantee shall be effective only if made or given in compliance with
all of the terms and provisions of Section 13.9 of the Loan Agreement.

- 8 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Section 7.2 Expenses. The Guarantor shall promptly pay to the Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the amount of any and all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Secured Parties (both before and after
the execution hereof) in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising
out of this Guarantee or any of the Loan Documents whether (a) costs and
expenses of the Agent (but not any other Secured Party) to prepare, negotiate or
execute (i) any amendment to, modification of or extension of this Guarantee or
any other Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a party or (ii) any
instrument, document or agreement in connection with any sale or attempted sale
of any interest herein to any participant, (b) to commence, defend, or intervene
in any litigation or to file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other
pleadings necessary to protect or enforce the rights of the Secured Parties
under this Guarantee or any other Loan Document, (c) to take any other action in
or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) necessary to
protect the rights of the Secured Parties under this Guarantee or any other Loan
Document or to respond to any subpoena, deposition or interrogatory with respect
to any litigation involving the Guarantor, or (d) to attempt to enforce or to
enforce any rights of the Secured Parties to collect any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, including all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of
attorneys and paralegals.
     Section 7.3 Headings. The headings in this Guarantee are for purposes of
reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or construction of any
provision of this Guarantee.
     Section 7.4 Severability. The provisions of this Guarantee are severable,
and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall
affect in that jurisdiction only such clause or provision, or part thereof, and
shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction or any other clause or provision of this Guarantee in any
jurisdiction.
     Section 7.5 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to the
Agent or to the Guarantor hereunder shall be given in accordance with
Section 15.9 of the Loan Agreement
     Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the
Secured Parties provided in this Guarantee or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and
shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this
Guarantee or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise. The exercise or partial exercise by the Secured Parties of any one or
more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or
later exercise by the Secured Parties of all such other rights, powers or
remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Secured Parties to exercise
any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

limitations as a defense to performance of its obligations under, or enforcement
of, this Guarantee.

informed of the financial condition of each Borrower and any and all endorsers
and/or other Obligors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof that
diligent inquiry would reveal, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that the Secured
Parties shall have no duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to the
Secured Parties regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event
the Secured Parties, in their discretion, undertake at any time or from time to
time to provide any such information to the Guarantor, the Secured Parties shall
be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of their
regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which pursuant to
accepted or reasonable commercial lending practices the Secured Parties wish to
maintain confidential, or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such
information or any other information to the Guarantor.
     Section 7.10 Assignability. This Guarantee shall be binding on the
Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and transferees and shall
inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
transferees, endorsees and assigns as permitted under the Loan Agreement. The
Guarantor may not assign this Guarantee.
     Section 7.11 Non-Waiver. The failure of the Secured Parties to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy,
shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against the
Secured Parties, nor excuse the Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
     Section 7.12 Termination. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1.7 and
5.2, this Guarantee shall terminate upon the receipt by each of the Secured
Parties of the payment (or prepayment) and performance in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any other amounts which may be owing hereunder (in each case,
other than Guaranteed Obligations that are Contingent Obligations that survive
the termination of the Loan Documents) and termination of the Lenders’
Commitments, or the written release of the Guarantor by the Secured Parties,
whichever shall occur first. At the time of such termination, the Secured
Parties, at the request and expense of the Guarantor, will execute and deliver
to the Guarantor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the
satisfaction and termination of this Guarantee. The Agent shall release the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder to the extent permitted or required
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
     Section 7.13 Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same agreement.
     Section 7.14 Governing Law. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF
THIS GUARANTEE AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
GUARANTEE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF
THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA (BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES),
BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Original Parent
Guarantee (collectively, the “Original Parent Guarantee Documents”) are hereby
renewed, amended, restated and superseded in their entirety according to the
terms and provisions set forth in this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents.

Guarantor thereunder, all of which are renewed and continued and are hereafter

previously granted by the Guarantor pursuant to the Original Parent Guarantee
Documents are hereby renewed and continued, and all such security interests,
pledges, assignments and other Liens shall remain in full force and effect as
