                           Loans and Letters of Credit

            Section 2.1 The Loans.

            (a) Revolving Loans. The Lenders who issued a Revolving Loan
Commitment agree, severally, in accordance with their respective Commitment
Ratios and not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement to lend to the Borrower, prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
amounts not at any one time outstanding to exceed, in the aggregate, the
Revolving Loan Commitment of all the Lenders as then in effect less the
aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time (i)
Convert a Base Rate Advance into a LIBOR Advance or a LIBOR Advance into a Base
Rate Advance or (ii) Continue a LIBOR Advance as a LIBOR Advance.

            (b) Term Loan A. The Lenders who issued a Term Loan A Commitment
agree severally, in accordance with their respective Commitment Ratios, and not
jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to lend
to the Borrower an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed in the
aggregate the Term Loan A Commitment of all the Lenders. The Term Loan A shall
be available in one (1) draw as requested by the Borrower in accordance with the
terms of Section 2.2 (the date of such draw, the "Term Loan A Funding Date") on
or prior to the Availability Termination Date; provided that any unfunded
portion of the Term Loan A Commitment shall terminate automatically upon the
earlier of the Availability Termination Date and the Term Loan A Funding Date.
The Term Loan A (if any) shall be

                                       30
<PAGE>

funded by each of the Lenders who issued a Term Loan A Commitment in a principal
amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Ratio of the aggregate principal amount
of the Term Loan A Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may from time to time (i) Convert from a Base Rate Advance into a LIBOR
Advance or from a LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance; or (ii) Continue a
LIBOR Advance as a LIBOR Advance; provided, however, that there shall be no
increase in the principal amount of the Term Loan A outstanding after the
Availability Termination Date.

            (c) Term Loan B. The Lenders who issued a Term Loan B Commitment
agree severally, in accordance with their respective Commitment Ratios, and not
jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, to lend
to the Borrower on the Agreement Date an amount which does not exceed in the
aggregate the Term Loan B Commitment of all the Lenders. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time (i) Convert a Base
Rate Advance into a LIBOR Advance or a LIBOR Advance into a Base Rate Advance or
(ii) Continue a LIBOR Advance as a LIBOR Advance; provided, however, that there
shall be no increase in the principal amount of the Term Loan B outstanding
after the Agreement Date.

            (d) The Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower (for itself and on behalf of its Restricted
Subsidiaries) pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof; provided that no Letter of Credit
shall be issued in an amount exceeding the Available Letter of Credit Commitment
determined immediately prior to giving effect to the issuance thereof.

            Section 2.2 Manner of Borrowing and Disbursement.

            (a) Choice of Interest Rate, Etc. Any Advance shall, at the option
of the Borrower, be made as a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance; provided,
however, that at such time as there shall have occurred and be continuing a
Default hereunder, the Borrower shall not have the right to receive, Convert an
Advance to or Continue an Advance as a LIBOR Advance. Any notice given to the
Administrative Agent in connection with a Request for Advance hereunder shall be
given to the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina
time) on any Business Day in order for such Business Day to count toward the
minimum number of Business Days required.

            (b) Base Rate Advances.

                  (i) Advances; Conversion. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a request for a Base Rate Advance,
irrevocable telephonic notice on the date of such Advance and (B) in the case of
a request to Convert a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance, at least three (3)
Business Days' irrevocable prior telephonic notice, in each case, followed
immediately by a Request for Advance; provided, however, that the Borrower's
failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a Request for Advance shall not
invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Upon
receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof.

                                       31
<PAGE>

                  (ii) Repayments and Reborrowings. Subject to Section 2.1
hereof, the Borrower may repay or prepay a Base Rate Advance without regard to
its Payment Date and, (A) upon irrevocable telephonic notice on the date of such
repayment or prepayment, as applicable, followed immediately by a Request for
Advance, reborrow all or a portion of the principal amount of any Revolving
Loans previously repaid or prepaid as a Base Rate Advance, (B) upon at least
three (3) Business Days' irrevocable prior telephonic notice followed
immediately by a Request for Advance, reborrow all or a portion of the principal
of any Revolving Loan previously repaid or prepaid as one or more LIBOR
Advances, or (C) not reborrow all or any portion of such Base Rate Advance. On
the date indicated by the Borrower, such Base Rate Advance shall be so repaid
and, as applicable, reborrowed. The failure to give timely notice hereunder with
respect to the Payment Date of any Base Rate Advance shall be considered a
request for a Base Rate Advance.

            (c) LIBOR Advances.

                  (i) Advances. Upon request, the Administrative Agent, whose
determination in absence of manifest error shall be conclusive, shall determine
the available LIBOR Basis and shall notify the Borrower of such LIBOR Basis. The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent in the case of LIBOR Advances at
least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable prior telephonic notice followed
immediately by a Request for Advance; provided, however, that the Borrower's
failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a Request for Advance shall not
invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Upon
receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof.

                  (ii) Repayments; Conversion; Continuation. Subject to Section
2.1 hereof, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Payment Date for each
LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent telephonic
notice followed immediately by a Request for Advance specifying whether all or a
portion of such LIBOR Advance (A) is to be Continued in whole or in part as one
or more LIBOR Advances, (B) is to be Converted in whole or in part to a Base
Rate Advance, or (C) is to be repaid and not Continued or Converted. The failure
to give such notice shall preclude the Borrower from Continuing such Advance as
a LIBOR Advance on its Payment Date and shall be considered a request for a
Conversion to a Base Rate Advance. Upon such Payment Date such LIBOR Advance
will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so repaid, Continued or Converted, as
applicable.

            (d) Notification of Lenders. Upon receipt of a Request for Advance,
or a notice from the Borrower with respect to any outstanding Advance prior to
the Payment Date for such Advance, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but
no later than, (i) with respect to LIBOR Advances, the close of business on the
day of such notice, and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Advances, 12:30 p.m.
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of such notice, notify each
applicable Lender (or, in the case of an Advance under the Incremental Facility
Commitment, each Lender having an Incremental Facility Commitment) by telephone
or telecopy of the contents thereof and the amount of such Lender's portion of
the Advance. With respect to each Request for Advance, each applicable Lender
(or, in the case of an Advance

                                       32
<PAGE>
under the Incremental Facility Commitment, each Lender having an Incremental
Facility Commitment) shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina
time) on the date of borrowing specified in such Request for Advance, make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office, or
at such account as the Administrative Agent shall designate, the amount of its
portion of any Advance which represents an additional borrowing hereunder in
immediately available funds.

            (e) Disbursement.

                  (i) Prior to 3:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the
date of an Advance hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 3 hereof, disburse the
amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in like funds
by (A) transferring the amounts so made available by wire transfer pursuant to
the Borrower's instructions or (B) in the absence of such instructions,
crediting the amounts so made available to the account of the Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent.

                  (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the
date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Advance, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Advance and
the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If and to the extent the Lender does not make such ratable portion available to
the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for
each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

                  (iii) If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's
portion of the applicable Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender
does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative
Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent, with interest at the Federal Funds Rate, without prejudice
to Borrower's claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund its
portion of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Advance on the date of such
borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other
Lender.

                  (iv) In the event that, at any time when the Borrower is not
in Default and has otherwise satisfied each of the conditions in Section 3.2
hereof (or Section 3.3 if applicable), a Lender for any reason fails or refuses
to fund its portion of an Advance and such failure shall continue for a period
in excess of thirty (30) days, then, until such time as such Lender has funded
its portion of such Advance (which late funding shall not absolve such Lender
from any liability it may have to the Borrower), or all other Lenders have
received payment in

                                       33
<PAGE>

full from the Borrower (whether by repayment or prepayment) or otherwise of the
principal and interest due in respect of such Advance, such non-funding Lender
shall not have the right (A) to vote regarding any issue on which voting is
required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and such
Lender's portion of the Loans shall not be counted as outstanding for purposes
of determining "Required Lenders" hereunder and (B) to receive payments of
principal, interest or fees from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
other Lenders in respect of its portion of the Loans.

            Section 2.3 Interest.

            (a) On Base Rate Advances. Interest on each Base Rate Advance shall
be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days
elapsed and shall be payable at the Base Rate Basis for such Advance, in arrears
on the applicable Payment Date. Interest on Base Rate Advances then outstanding
shall also be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

            (b) On LIBOR Advances. Interest on each LIBOR Advance and all fees
payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable at the LIBOR Basis for such
Advance, in arrears on the applicable Payment Date, and, in addition, if the
Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance exceeds three (3) months, interest on such
LIBOR Advance shall also be due and payable in arrears on every three-month
anniversary of the beginning of such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Advances
then outstanding shall also be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

            (c) Interest if No Notice of Selection of Interest Rate Basis. If
the Borrower fails to give the Administrative Agent timely notice of its
selection of a LIBOR Basis, or if for any reason a determination of a LIBOR
Basis for any Advance is not timely concluded, the Base Rate Basis shall apply
to such Advance.

            (d) Interest Upon Default. Subject to Section 8.2(f), (a)
automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default under Section 8.1(b), (g) or (h) or (b) at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent or as directed by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default not described in (a) above,
(i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Advances or
Letters of Credit, (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Advances shall bear interest at a
rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to
LIBOR Advances until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at
a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Advances and (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Advances and other Obligations
arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to
Base Rate Advances or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any
other Loan Document. Such interest shall be payable on demand by the Required
Lenders and shall accrue until the earlier of (i) waiver or cure of the
applicable Event of Default, (ii) agreement by the Required Lenders (or, if
applicable to the underlying Event of Default, the Lenders) to rescind the
charging of interest at the Default Rate or (iii) payment in full of the
Obligations. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the
filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in

                                       34
<PAGE>

whether state, federal or foreign.

Advances hereunder exceed eight (8) in the aggregate.

            (f) Applicable Margin.

Loan Commitment in accordance with their Commitment Ratios. If any Letter of
Credit is drawn upon prior to its expiration date, the Lenders shall reimburse
to the Borrower that portion of the fee allocable to the period from the date of
the draw to the expiration date, calculated in accordance with the Issuing
Bank's standard letter of credit procedures. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
to the Issuing Bank for its own account (i) a fronting fee in an amount equal to

payable quarterly in arrears and (ii) its standard charges for the issuance,
transfer or other administration of letters of credit and for draws upon letters

the right, at any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date, upon at
least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent,
without premium or penalty, to cancel or reduce permanently all or a portion of
the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the unused Term Loan A Commitment, on a pro
rata basis among the Lenders, provided, however, that any such partial reduction
shall be made in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00 and in integral multiples
of not less than $1,000,000.00. As of the date of cancellation or reduction set
forth in such notice, the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan A Commitment,
as applicable, shall be permanently reduced to the amount stated in the
Borrower's notice for all purposes herein, and the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the Lenders the amount necessary to reduce the
principal amount of the Revolving Loans or Term Loan A, as applicable, then
outstanding to not more than the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term
Loan A Commitment, as applicable, as so reduced, together with accrued interest
on the amount so prepaid and commitment fees accrued through the date of the
reduction with respect to the amount reduced.

            Section 2.7 Prepayments and Repayments.

notice followed immediately by

                                       38
<PAGE>

written notice, to the Administrative Agent on the date of such prepayment;
provided, however, that the Borrower's failure to confirm any telephonic notice
with a written notice shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by
the Administrative Agent. LIBOR Advances may be prepaid prior to the applicable
Payment Date, upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice, or telephonic
notice followed immediately by written notice, to the Administrative Agent;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, on the earlier of demand by the applicable Lender or the
Maturity Date, for any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by any
Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set
forth in Section 2.10 hereof; provided further, however, that the Borrower's
failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a written notice shall not
invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Any
partial prepayment hereunder shall be in amounts of not less than $500,000.00
and in integral multiples of $250,000.00. Revolving Loans prepaid pursuant to
this Section 2.7(a) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof. Any Term Loan A or Term Loan B or Incremental Facility Loan, as
applicable, prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may not be reborrowed.
Amounts prepaid shall be paid together with accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid accrued through the date of such prepayment.

If, at any time, the sum of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and
Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding shall exceed the Revolving Loan
Commitment, the Borrower shall make a repayment of the principal amount of the

together with any accrued interest with respect thereto.

                  (iii) Repayments From Net Proceeds of Asset Sales or Insurance

of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net
Proceeds (Asset Sales) (other than in connection with an Asset Sale permitted
under Section 7.4(a)(i) hereof), the Loans shall be automatically and
permanently prepaid in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, one-hundred percent
(100%) of any Net Proceeds (Asset Sales); provided, however, that no prepayment
under this Section 2.7(b)(iii) shall occur if such Net Proceeds (Asset Sales)

assets directly related thereto within the succeeding two hundred seventy (270)
day period, (B) are from an insurance or condemnation proceeding and are
reinvested in any Permitted Business or other assets directly related thereto

hereof. Repayments under this Section 2.7(b)(iii) shall be applied first, pro
rata, to the principal of the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and, if applicable,
the Incremental Facility Loans (applied to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the
remaining scheduled principal installments of the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B
and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans) and, second to the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans. Accrued interest on the
principal amount of the Loans being repaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(iii)
to the date of such repayment (together with any additional amount owing under
Section 2.10) will be paid by the Borrower concurrently with such principal

                  (iv) Excess Cash Flow. On or prior to April 15, 2007, and on
or prior to each April 15th thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the
Loans shall be repaid in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, (A) forty percent
(40%) of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ended on the immediately preceding
December 31 minus (B) $15,000,000; provided, however that no Excess Cash Flow
repayment shall be required if the Leverage Ratio is less than 6.00:1.00 at the
end of such fiscal year. Repayments under this Section 2.7(b)(iv) shall be
applied first, pro rata, to the principal of the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B
and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans (applied to reduce, on a pro
rata basis, the remaining scheduled principal installments of the Term Loan A,
the Term Loan B and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans) and, second
to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans. Accrued interest on

2.7(b)(iv) to the date of such repayment (together with any additional amount
owing under Section 2.10) will be paid by the Borrower concurrently with such
principal repayment.

                  (v) Issuance of Indebtedness. Within three (3) Business Days
following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds (Indebtedness) arising from the issuance of
Indebtedness issued by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after
the Agreement Date (excluding Indebtedness permitted under any subsection of
Section 7.1 hereof other than (x) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subsection
(c) of Section 7.1, and (y) any Permitted Secured Indebtedness), the Loans shall
be repaid in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds
(Indebtedness) related thereto; provided, however, that no prepayment under this
Section 2.7(b)(v) shall occur if such Net Proceeds (Indebtedness) (A) are from
the incurrence of Subordinated Indebtedness issued to either (1) pay all or a
portion of the purchase price in connection with an Acquisition or to consummate
an Investment, in each case as permitted pursuant to Section 7.6, or (2)
refinance, renew, replace or extend any Subordinated Indebtedness, in each case
as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) and (B) the Borrower has complied
with the requirements of subsection (c) of Section 7.1. Repayments under this
Section 2.7(b)(v) shall be applied first, pro rata, to the principal of the Term
Loan A, the Term Loan B and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans
(applied to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the remaining scheduled principal
installments of the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and, if applicable, the
Incremental Facility Loans) and, second to the outstanding principal amount of
the Revolving Loans. Accrued interest on the principal amount of the Loans being
repaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(v) to the date of such repayment
(together with any additional amount owing under Section 2.10) will be paid by
the Borrower concurrently with such principal repayment.

                  (vi) Notice; Refusal of Prepayments. Within two (2) Business
Days following the occurrence of any mandatory prepayment event under Section
2.7(b)(iii) through and including (v) above, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent (in writing or by telephone followed immediately by written
notice) and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
so notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.7(b)(iv) and (v)
above to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any mandatory prepayment event
described therein and to the extent any principal of the Term Loan A or any
Incremental Facility Loans remain outstanding, each Lender holding the Term Loan
B shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to
refuse its pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment, at which time such
refused amount shall be applied pro rata to the principal of the Term Loan A
and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans (applied to reduce, on a pro
rata basis, the remaining scheduled principal installments of the Term Loan A
and, if applicable, the Incremental Facility Loans). Any Lender holding the Term
Loan B which has not notified the Administrative Agent in writing of its
election to refuse such mandatory prepayment within two (2) Business Days
following notice from the Administrative Agent of such mandatory prepayment
event shall be deemed to have waived its right to refuse such mandatory
prepayment.

                  (vii) Revolving Loan Maturity Date. In addition to the
foregoing, a final payment of all Revolving Loans, together with accrued
interest and fees with respect thereto, shall be due and payable on the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

                  (viii) Term Loan A Maturity Date. In addition to the
foregoing, a final payment of the Term Loan A, together with accrued interest
and fees with respect thereto, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan A
Maturity Date.

                  (ix) Term Loan B Maturity Date. In addition to the foregoing,
a final payment of the Term Loan B, together with accrued interest and fees with
respect thereto, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan B Maturity Date.

                  (x) Incremental Facility Maturity Date. If applicable, in
addition to the foregoing, a final payment of the Incremental Facility Loans,
together with accrued interest and fees with respect thereto, shall be due and
payable on the Incremental Facility Maturity Date.

            (c) Term Loans. Any Term Loan A, Term Loan B or Incremental Facility
Loan, as applicable, repaid pursuant to Section 2.7(b) hereof may not be
reborrowed.

            (d) Hedging Agreements. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.7 shall affect any of the Borrower's obligations under any Interest
Rate Hedge Agreement.

            Section 2.8 Evidence of Indebtedness; Loan Accounts.

            (a) Extensions of Credit. The Loans made by each Lender and the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in
the ordinary course of business.

                                       42
<PAGE>

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the
Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so
record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to
the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any
Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Loan Note,
Term Note A or Term Note B and/or Incremental Facility Note, as applicable,
which shall evidence such Lender's Revolving Loans, Term Loan A, Term Loan B
and/or Incremental Facility Loan, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or
records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the
date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

            (b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred
to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases
and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.

            Section 2.9 Manner of Payment.

            (a) Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on
account of the principal of or interest on the Loans, commitment fees and any
other amount owed to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or any of them
under this Agreement or the Notes shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office, for
the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Any
payment received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North
Carolina time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment intended for any Lender or Lenders hereunder
prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day shall be
deemed to constitute receipt by such Lender or Lenders on such Business Day. In
the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will
promptly, but no later than the close of business on the date such payment is
deemed received, thereafter distribute the amount so received in like funds to
such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment
from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the Lenders accordingly. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall fail
to make distribution to any Lender as required under this Section 2.9, the
Administrative Agent agrees to pay such Lender interest from the date such
payment was due until paid at the Federal Funds Rate.

                  (b) The Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and
all other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes without set-off or
counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever.

                                       43
<PAGE>

So long as the applicable Lender has complied with Section 2.13 hereof, the
Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts due
hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document free and clear of
all taxes, levies and withholding. So long as the applicable Lender has complied
with Section 2.13 hereof, if the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to
deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to the such Lender
hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document: (i) the sum payable
hereunder or thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent
necessary to provide that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9(b)), the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions from such sums payable hereunder or
thereunder, as applicable, and pay the amount so deducted to the relevant taxing
authority as required by Applicable Law; and (iii) the Borrower shall provide
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, with evidence
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, that
such deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. If any
Lender requires the Borrower to make any such deductions, such Lender shall
designate a different lending office and may take such alternative courses of
action if such designation or alternative courses of action will avoid the need
for such deductions and will not in the good faith judgment of such Lender be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

                  (c) Subject to any contrary provisions in the definition of
Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall
be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such
payment.

                  (d) Prior to the declaration of an Event of Default under
Section 8.2 hereof, if some but less than all amounts due from the Borrower are
received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations, the
Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 2.2(e) hereof) distribute such
amounts in the following order of priority, all in accordance where applicable
with the respective Commitment Ratios of the Lenders for the applicable
Commitment: first, to the payment of any fees or expenses then due and payable
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (on a pro rata basis, based
on all such amounts then due and payable); second, to the payment of interest
then due and payable on the Loans (on a pro rata basis, based on all such
amounts then due and payable); third, to the payment of all other amounts not
otherwise referred to in this Section 2.9(d) then due and payable to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them,
hereunder or under the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document
(on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); fourth,
to the payment of principal then due and payable on the Loans and any Interest
Rate Hedge Obligations (including any termination payments and any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon) (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then
due and payable); fifth, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in
this Section 2.9(d) until all such Obligations are paid in full (on a pro rata
basis, based on all such amounts then due and payable); sixth, to damages
incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, or any of
them, by reason

                                       44
<PAGE>

of any breach hereof or of any other Loan Document (on a pro rata basis, based
on all such amounts then due and payable); and seventh, as otherwise required by
Applicable Law.

            Section 2.10 Reimbursement.

            (a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) failure by the Borrower
to borrow, Continue or Convert any LIBOR Advance after having given notice of
its intention to borrow, Continue or Convert such Advance in accordance with
Section 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of the Borrower's election not to proceed
or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3 or for
any other reason other than the failure of such Lender to fund its portion of
such Advance), or (ii) prepayment (or failure to prepay after giving notice
thereof) of any LIBOR Advance in whole or in part for any reason, the Borrower
agrees to pay to such Lender, upon the earlier of such Lender's demand or the
Maturity Date, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such
losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender's good faith determination of the
amount of such losses or out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in writing and
accompanied by calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis for its
demand, shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error.

            (b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without
limitation, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender
permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, paid,
repaid, not borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable
whether the Maturity Date is changed by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless
such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a result of acceleration of
the Obligations.

            Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment.

            (a) Advances. Each Advance under the Revolving Loan Commitment and,
if applicable, the Incremental Facility Commitments, from the Lenders hereunder
made on or after the Agreement Date, shall be made pro rata on the basis of the
respective Commitment Ratios of the Lenders. On the Agreement Date, each Advance
from the Lenders under the Term Loan A Commitment or the Term Loan B Commitment
shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Commitment Ratios of the
Lenders.

            (b) Payments. Each payment and prepayment of principal of the Loans,
and, except as provided in each of Section 2.2(e) and Article 10 hereof, each
payment of interest on the Loans, shall be made to the Lenders pro rata on the
basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts outstanding immediately prior
to such payment or prepayment. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of the applicable Loans
under its applicable Commitment Ratio, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from
the other Lenders such participations in the portion of the applicable Loans
made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall

                                       45
<PAGE>

repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such
recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

            Section 2.12 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof, the
adoption of any Applicable Law regarding the capital adequacy of banks or bank
holding companies, or any change in Applicable Law (whether adopted before or
after the Agreement Date) or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender
with any directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender's
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans
and the Revolving Loan Commitment (or, if applicable, Incremental Facility
Commitments) to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies
with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or
compliance and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully utilized prior to
such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material, then, upon the earlier of demand by such Lender or the
Maturity Date, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduced
return, together with interest on such amount from the fourth (4th) Business Day
after the date of demand or the Maturity Date, as applicable, until payment in
full thereof at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender for any amount under this
subsection arising or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for
compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior
to the date on which such Lender submits such request and (ii) any other time or
period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such
law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender could not
reasonably have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. A
certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount to be paid to such Lender by
the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this paragraph and
supporting calculations in reasonable detail shall be presumptively correct
absent manifest error.

            Section 2.13 Lender Tax Forms. On or prior to the Agreement Date,
and prior to the date on which any Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and from
time to time thereafter if required by Applicable Law due to a change in
circumstances or if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent (unless such Lender is unable to do so by reasons of change in Applicable
Law), each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with (i) an
accurate and duly completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI or Form W-9, as the case may be, or other applicable or successor form,
certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service
certifying as to such Lender's entitlement to full exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder
or under any Note or other Loan Document, or, (ii) in the case of a Lender that

                                       46
<PAGE>

is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and
cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or Form W-9
pursuant to clause (i) above, (A) an accurate and duly completed United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or other applicable or successor
form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue
Service certifying to such Lender's foreign status and (B) a certificate
certifying to such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United
States withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder or under any Note
or other Loan Document. In the event that the Borrower withholds a portion of
any payment hereunder or under any Note or other Loan Document in accordance
with this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall provide evidence that such taxes of
any nature whatsoever in respect of this Agreement, any Loan or Note or other
Loan Document shall have been paid to the appropriate taxing authorities by
delivery to the Lender on whose account such payment was made of the official
tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts within thirty (30) days after
payment of such tax. If the Borrower fails to make any such payment when due,
the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure.
For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower
with the appropriate form described above (other than if such failure is due to
a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form
originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification with respect to withholding taxes imposed by the United States
and the Borrower shall be allowed to deduct from payments to such Lender
hereunder and under any Note or other Loan Document, the amount of any such
withholding taxes paid by the Borrower.

            Section 2.14 Letters of Credit.

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, on
behalf of the Lenders, and in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set
forth in Section 2.14(d) hereof, hereby agrees to issue one or more Letters of
Credit in a face amount not to exceed the Available Letter of Credit Commitment
determined immediately prior to giving effect to the issuance thereof; provided,
however, that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit unless the
conditions precedent to the issuance thereof set forth in Section 3.4 hereof
have been satisfied, and shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if any Default then exists or would be caused thereby or if, after giving effect
to such issuance, the Available Revolving Loan Commitment or the Available
Letter of Credit Commitment would be less than zero; and provided further,
however, that at no time shall the total Letter of Credit Obligations
outstanding hereunder exceed $50,000,000.00. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be
denominated in Dollars, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier to occur of
(A) the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or
(B) one (1) year after its date of issuance (but may contain provisions for
automatic renewal; provided that no Default or Event of Default exists on the
renewal date or would be caused by such renewal). Each Letter of Credit shall be
subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 and, to the
extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The
Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue, or cause to be issued,
any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing
Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. If a Letter of Credit
provides that it is automatically renewable unless notice is given by the
Issuing Bank that it will not be renewed,

                                       47
<PAGE>

the Issuing Bank shall not be bound to give a notice of non-renewal unless
directed to do so by the Required Lenders at least sixty-five (65) days prior to
the then scheduled expiration date of such Letter of Credit. The Existing
Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding
under this Agreement on and after the Agreement Date.

            (b) The Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of, and
be provided with by the Issuing Bank, Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank a Request
for Issuance of Letter of Credit for each Letter of Credit to be issued by the
Issuing Bank, not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the
fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the date on which the requested Letter of
Credit is to be issued, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such Request for
Issuance of Letter of Credit, subject to satisfaction of all conditions
precedent thereto as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall
process such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit and the certificates,
documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue
the Letter of Credit requested thereby. The Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of
such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the
issuance thereof. The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for
normal and customary costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in issuing,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letters of
Credit.

            (c) At such time as the Administrative Agent shall be notified by
the Issuing Bank that the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit has drawn on
the same, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each
Lender, by telephone or telecopy, of the amount of the draw and, in the case of
each Lender, such Lender's portion of such draw amount as calculated in
accordance with its Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio.

            (d) The Borrower hereby agrees to immediately reimburse the Issuing
Bank for amounts paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of draws under a Letter of
Credit issued at the Borrower's request. In order to facilitate such repayment,
the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests the Lenders having a Revolving Loan
Commitment, and such Lenders hereby severally agree, on the terms and conditions
of this Agreement (other than as provided in Article 2 hereof with respect to
the amounts of, the timing of requests for, and the repayment of Advances
hereunder and in Section 3.4 hereof with respect to conditions precedent to
Advances hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit prior
to the occurrence of an event described in Sections 8.1(g) or (h) hereof, to
make an Advance (which Advance may be a LIBOR Advance if the Borrower so
requests in a timely manner or may be Converted to a LIBOR Advance as provided
in this Agreement) to the Borrower on each day on which a draw is made under any
Letter of Credit and in the amount of such draw, and to pay the proceeds of such
Advance directly to the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the
amount paid by it upon such draw. Each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment
shall pay its share of such Advance by paying its portion of such Advance to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 2 hereof and its Revolving Loan
Commitment Ratio, without reduction for any set-off or counterclaim of any
nature whatsoever and regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default
(other than with respect to an event described in Sections 8.1 (g) or (h)
hereof) then

                                       48
<PAGE>

exists or would be caused thereby. If at any time that any Letters of Credit are
outstanding, any of the events described in Sections 8.1 (g) or (h) hereof shall
have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender having a Revolving Loan
Commitment shall, automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and
without any action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, be deemed to have purchased an undivided
participation in the face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding in an
amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio of such Letters of
Credit, and each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall,
notwithstanding such Default or Event of Default, upon a drawing under any
Letter of Credit, immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender's
participation in such drawn amount (and the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such
Lender a loan participation certificate dated the date of the occurrence of such
event and in the amount of such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio). The
disbursement of funds in connection with a draw under a Letter of Credit
pursuant to this Section 2.14(d) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
Article 2 hereof. The obligation of each Lender having a Revolving Loan
Commitment to make payments to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Bank, in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall be absolute and
unconditional and no such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to make
such payments by reason of noncompliance by any other Person with the terms of
the Letter of Credit or for any other reason. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received from the other
Lenders. Any overdue amounts payable by the Lenders having a Revolving Loan
Commitment to the Issuing Bank in respect of a draw under any Letter of Credit
shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Federal Funds Rate.

            (e) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for such
actions or omissions as shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Issuing Bank, shall be binding on the Borrower as between the
Borrower and the Issuing Bank, and shall not result in any liability of the
Issuing Bank to the Borrower. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
Lenders for Advances made to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under the
Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances:

                  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan
Document;

                  (ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure
from any or all of the Loan Documents;

                  (iii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of
Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any
Letter of Credit in connection therewith;

                  (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right
which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or Persons for whom any such beneficiary or
any such transferee may be acting) or any Lender

                                       49
<PAGE>

(other than the defense of payment to such Lender in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of
Credit, any transaction contemplated by any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction;

                  (v) any statement or any other documents presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
whatsoever;

                  (vi) the insolvency of any Person issuing any documents in
connection with any Letter of Credit;

                  (vii) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower and any
beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit, provided that the same shall
not have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
Bank;

                  (viii) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to
which any Letter of Credit is issued, including, without limitation, any fraud
by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, provided that the
same shall not be the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Issuing Bank;

                  (ix) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, wireless or
otherwise, whether or not they are in code, provided that the same shall not be
the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

                  (x) any act, error, neglect, default, omission, insolvency or
failure of business of any of the correspondents of the Issuing Bank, provided
that the same shall not have constituted the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

                  (xi) any other circumstances arising from causes beyond the
control of the Issuing Bank;

                  (xii) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit
against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not
have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; and

                  (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances
or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

            (f) If any change in Applicable Law, any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or any change in compliance with
Applicable Law by the Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of any official
request or directive of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) impose, modify or

                                       50
<PAGE>

deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, capital
adequacy, assessment or other requirements or conditions against Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank or against participations by any other Lender
in the Letters of Credit or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank or any other Lender
any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or any participation therein,
and the result of any of the foregoing in the reasonable determination of the
Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, is to increase the cost to the
Issuing Bank or such Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, as the case may be, by an
amount (which amount shall be reasonably determined) deemed by the Issuing Bank
or such Lender to be material, and the designation of a different lending office
will not avoid the need for additional compensation, then, on request by the
Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay, within ten (10) days after
demand, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, so
determines will compensate it for such increased costs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender for
any amount under this subsection arising or occurring during (i) in the case of
each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than
ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender submits such request and
(ii) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced
retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or
directive, such Lender could not have known that the resulting reduction in
return might arise. A certificate of the Issuing Bank or such Lender setting
forth the amount, and in reasonable detail the basis for the Issuing Bank or
such Lender's determination of such amount, to be paid to the Issuing Bank or
such Lender by the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this Section
2.14(f) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive.

            (g) Each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be
responsible for its pro rata share (based on such Lender's Revolving Loan
Commitment Ratio) of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) and disbursements which
may be incurred or made by the Issuing Bank in connection with the collection of
any amounts due under, the administration of, or the presentation or enforcement
of any rights conferred by any Letter of Credit, the Borrower's or any
guarantor's obligations to reimburse or otherwise. In the event the Borrower
shall fail to pay such expenses of the Issuing Bank within ten (10) days after
demand for payment by the Issuing Bank, each Lender having a Revolving Loan
Commitment shall thereupon pay to the Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on
such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio) of such expenses within five (5)
days from the date of the Issuing Bank's notice to the Lenders having a
Revolving Loan Commitment of the Borrower's failure to pay; provided, however,
that if the Borrower or any guarantor shall thereafter pay such expense, the
Issuing Bank will repay to each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio
the amounts received from such Lender hereunder.

            (h) The Borrower agrees that each Advance by the Lenders having a
Revolving Loan Commitment to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under any
Letter of Credit, shall, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed to be an Advance
under the Revolving Loan Commitment to the Borrower and shall be payable and
bear interest in accordance with all other Revolving Loans to the Borrower.

                                       51
<PAGE>

            (i) The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Lead Arranger,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each other Lender and each of
their respective employees, representatives, officers and directors from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of
profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys'
fees, but excluding taxes) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such other Lender in
any way relating to or arising out of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, except
that the Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any such Lender for any portion of such claims, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
such Lender, as the case may be, as determined by a non-appealable judicial
order. This Section 2.14(i) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

            Section 2.15 Incremental Facility Loans.

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may request the Incremental Facility Commitment; provided, that (i) the
Borrower may not request the Incremental Facility Commitment or an Incremental
Facility Advance after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default,
including, without limitation, any Default that would result after giving effect
to any Incremental Facility Advance; (ii) the Borrower may request only seven
(7) Incremental Facility Commitments (although such commitments may be from more
than one Lender) and must request a minimum Incremental Facility Commitment of
$25,000,000.00, or if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to this
Section 2.15 after giving effect to any prior Incremental Facility Commitments
or Incremental Facility Loans and (iii) the sum of (A) all outstanding
Incremental Facility Commitments, plus (B) all outstanding Incremental Facility
Loans, shall not exceed $400,000,000.00. The maturity date for the Incremental
Facility Loans shall be no earlier than six (6) calendar months after the later
of (i) the Term Loan A Maturity Date or (ii) Term Loan B Maturity Date (or, if
no Term Loans are outstanding, the Incremental Facility Maturity Date of the
most recently funded Incremental Facility Loan outstanding at such time) and the
weighted average life of each Incremental Facility Loan shall be longer than the
weighted average life of the longer of the Term Loan A or the Term Loan B (or,
if no Term Loans are outstanding, the most recently funded Incremental Facility
Loan outstanding at such time). The decision of any Lender to make an
Incremental Facility Commitment to the Borrower shall be at such Lender's sole
discretion and shall be made in writing. The Incremental Facility Commitment (x)
must be in the form of a term loan facility, (y) must not require principal
repayment earlier, or in an amount larger (or percentage greater), than those
set forth in the repayment schedule for the Term Loans as set forth in Section
2.7(b) hereof (or, if no Term Loans are outstanding, the repayment schedule set
forth in the Notice of Incremental Facility Commitment for the most recently
funded Incremental Facility Loan outstanding at such time) and (z) must not
contain any terms and conditions more restrictive than those set forth herein
and therein. Each Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in any Incremental Facility Commitment on a pro rata basis. The
Borrower may, at its own expense, solicit Incremental Facility Commitments from
third party financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. Any

                                       52
<PAGE>

such financial institution (if not already a Lender hereunder) shall
become a party to this Agreement as a Lender, pursuant to a joinder agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower.

            (b) Prior to the effectiveness of the Incremental Facility
Commitment, the Borrower shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders a Notice of Incremental Facility Commitment in substantially the form of
Exhibit M attached hereto; and (ii) provide revised projections to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and which shall demonstrate
the Borrower's ability to timely repay such Incremental Facility Commitment and
any Incremental Facility Loans thereunder and to comply with the covenants
contained in Sections 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 and 7.11.

            (c) No Incremental Facility Commitment shall by itself result in any
reduction of the Commitment or of the Commitment Ratio of the Lender making such
Incremental Facility Commitment.

            (d) Incremental Facility Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate
or LIBOR, in each case, plus an interest rate margin based on prevailing market
conditions at such time and as agreed upon between the Borrower and the Lenders
holding such Incremental Facility Commitments. At the option of the Borrower,
Incremental Facility Loans may (i) rank pari passu with the Loans and other
Obligations outstanding hereunder immediately prior to incurrence of such
Incremental Facility Loans, including without limitation, for the purposes of
Sections 2.9, 2.11 and 8.3 and with respect to Collateral securing such Loans
and other Obligations (in which case the Incremental Facility Loans shall be
governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) be secured by a
second priority Lien on the Collateral securing the Loans and other Obligations
outstanding hereunder immediately prior to incurrence of such Incremental
Facility Loans, subject to a customary intercreditor agreement and such
additional Loan Documents, in each case, as are reasonably requested by, and in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent. Subject
to Section 2.15(a) hereof, Incremental Facility Loans shall be repaid as agreed
to by the Borrower and each Lender making such Incremental Facility Loans.

            (e) Incremental Facility Advances shall be requested by the Borrower
pursuant to a request (which shall be in substantially the form of a Request for
Advance) delivered in the same manner as a Request for Advance, but shall be
funded pro rata only by those Lenders holding the Incremental Facility
Commitment.

            Section 2.16 Increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment.

      (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower
may request increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) the
Borrower may not request any increase to the Revolving Loan Commitment after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, including, without
limitation, any Default that would result after giving effect to any increase to
the Revolving Loan Commitment; (ii) the Borrower may request only

                                       53
<PAGE>

four (4) increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment (although such increases to
the Revolving Loan Commitment may be from more than one Lender) and must request
a minimum increase to the Revolving Loan Commitment of $25,000,000.00, or if
less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to this Section 2.16 after giving
effect to any prior increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment; and (iii) the
aggregate amount of increases to the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not exceed
$100,000,000.00. The decision of any Lender to commit to an increase in the
Revolving Loan Commitment shall be at such Lender's sole discretion and shall be
made in writing. Each Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in any increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment on a pro rata

                                    ARTICLE 4

                         Representations and Warranties

            Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby
represents and warrants, upon the Agreement Date, in favor of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, that:

            (a) Organization; Ownership; Power; Qualification. The Borrower is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Georgia. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to
own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and as proposed
hereafter to be conducted. Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower is a
Person duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the state of its incorporation or formation and has the power and authority to
own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and as proposed
hereafter to be conducted. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are duly
qualified, in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction
in which the character of their respective properties or the nature of their
respective businesses requires such qualification or authorization, except where
failure to be so qualified, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

            (b) Authorization; Enforceability. The Borrower has the corporate
power and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize it to borrow
hereunder, and the Borrower has the corporate power and has taken all necessary
corporate action to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective
terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is, and each
of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is party is, a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower, in
accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as
to enforceability, to general principles of equity (the "Bankruptcy Exception").

            (c) Restricted Subsidiaries: Authorization; Enforceability. The
Borrower's Restricted Subsidiaries, and the Borrower's direct and indirect
ownership thereof, in each case as of the Agreement Date, are as set forth on
Schedule 4 attached hereto, and the Borrower has the unrestricted right to vote
the issued and outstanding Ownership Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries
shown thereon; such Ownership Interests of such Restricted Subsidiaries have
been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Each
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower has the power and has taken all necessary
action to authorize it to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms and
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by such Loan
Documents. Each of the Loan Documents to which any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower is party is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Restricted
Subsidiary enforceable against such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its
terms, subject, as

                                       60
<PAGE>

enforcement of remedies, to the Bankruptcy Exception. The Borrower's Ownership
Interest in each of its Restricted Subsidiaries represents a direct or indirect
controlling interest of such Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of directing or
causing the direction of the management and policies of each Restricted
Subsidiary.

            (d) Compliance with Other Loan Documents and Contemplated
Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance, in accordance with their
respective terms, by the Borrower of this Agreement and by the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries of each of the other Loan Documents to which they are
respectively party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval,
governmental or otherwise, not already obtained, (ii) violate any Applicable Law
respecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) conflict
with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the certificate or
articles of incorporation or by-laws or partnership agreements or operating
agreements or trust agreements, as the case may be, as amended, of the Borrower
or of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or under any material Operating
Agreement, or any other material indenture, agreement, or other instrument, to
which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which
any of them or their respective properties may be bound, including, without
limitation, the Subordinated Note Indenture, or (iv) result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now
owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens.

            (e) Business. The Borrower, together with its Restricted
Subsidiaries, is engaged only in the Permitted Businesses.

            (f) Licenses; Operating Agreements.

                  (i) Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has
all requisite power and authority, material Operating Agreements and Licenses to
own and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted
and as proposed to be conducted. Schedule 3 annexed hereto, as it may be
supplemented, correctly describes each of the Stations and each such Permitted
Business and sets forth all of the material Operating Agreements and Licenses of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and correctly sets forth the
termination date, if any, of each such Operating Agreements and License. A true,
correct and complete copy of each material Operating Agreement and License set
forth in Schedule 3 has been made available to the Administrative Agent. Each
material Operating Agreement and License was duly and validly issued pursuant to
procedures which comply in all material respects with all requirements of
Applicable Law. As of the Agreement Date and at all times thereafter, the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have the right to use all material
Licenses required in the ordinary course of business for all Stations and any
Permitted Business, and each such License is in full force and effect. Each of
the Borrower and it Restricted Subsidiaries has taken all material actions and
performed all of its material obligations that are necessary to maintain all
material Licenses without adverse modification or impairment. Except as shown on
Schedule 3, no event has occurred which (i) results in, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would result in, revocation, suspension, adverse modification,
non-renewal, impairment, restriction or termination of or any order of
forfeiture with respect to, any material License or (ii) materially

                                       61
<PAGE>

and adversely affects or could reasonably be expected in the future to
materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 3, each FCC
License is held by a License Sub. Except as set forth in Schedule 3, none of the
FCC Licenses requires that any present stockholder, director, officer or
employee of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries remain a
stockholder or employee of such Person, or that any transfer of control of such
Person must be approved by any public or governmental body other than the FCC.

                  (ii) Except as shown on Schedule 3, neither the Borrower nor
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to or has knowledge of any
investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation, forfeiture or other
order or complaint issued by or before any court or regulatory body, including
the FCC, or of any other proceedings (other than proceedings relating to the
radio or television industries generally) which could in any manner materially
threaten or adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of the
Licenses of any such Person. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that any material Licenses listed and
described in Schedule 3 will not be renewed in the ordinary course. Each of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, (a) has duly filed in a
timely manner all material filings, reports, applications, documents,
instruments and information required to be filed by it under the Communication
Act or pursuant to FCC Regulations or requests of any regulatory body having
jurisdiction over any of its Licenses, (b) has submitted to the FCC on a timely
basis all required equal employment opportunity reports, and (c) is in
compliance in all material respects with the Communications Act, including all
FCC Regulations relating to the broadcast of television signals, all FCC
Regulations concerning the limits on the duration of advertising in children's
programming and the record keeping obligations relating to such advertising, the
Children's Television Act and all FCC Regulations promulgated thereunder and all
equal employment opportunity-related FCC Regulations. The Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries maintain appropriate public files at the Stations and at
any other Permitted Business in a manner that complies in all material respects
with all FCC Regulations.

                  (iii) The Ownership Reports filed by the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries with the FCC are true, correct and complete in all
material respects and there have been no material changes in the ownership of
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower since the filing of
such Ownership Reports other than as described in information filed with the FCC
and made available for examination by the Administrative Agent.

            (g) Compliance with Law. The Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Applicable Law, except where the failure
to be in compliance would not individually or in the aggregate have a Materially
Adverse Effect.

            (h) Title to Assets. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
have good, legal and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all
of their respective material assets. None of the properties or assets of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to any Liens, except
for Permitted Liens. Except for financing statements evidencing Permitted Liens,
no financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
jurisdiction and no other filing which names the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries as debtor or which covers or purports to cover any of
the assets of the Borrower or any of its

                                       62
<PAGE>

Restricted Subsidiaries is currently effective and on file in any state or other
jurisdiction, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
has signed any such financing statement or filing or any security agreement
authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement or
filing.

            (i) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5 hereto, there is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against, or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, overtly threatened against or in any other manner
relating adversely to, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any
of their respective properties, including, without limitation, the Licenses, in
any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental
body which could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. No
action, suit, proceeding or investigation (i) calls into question the validity
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) individually or
collectively involves the possibility of any judgment or liability not fully
covered by insurance which, if determined adversely to the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, would have a Materially Adverse Effect.

            (j) Taxes. All federal, state and other material tax returns of the
Borrower, each of its Restricted Subsidiaries required by law to be filed have
been duly filed and all federal, state and other taxes, including, without
limitation, withholding taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or
levies required to be paid by the Borrower or by any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or imposed upon the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
or any of their respective properties, income, profits or assets, which are due
and payable, have been paid, except any such taxes (i) (A) the payment of which
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is diligently contesting in
good faith by appropriate proceedings, (B) for which adequate reserves have been
provided on the books of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower involved, and (C) as to which no Lien other than a Permitted Lien has
attached and no foreclosure, distraint, sale or similar proceedings have been
commenced, or (ii) which may result from audits not yet conducted. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in respect of taxes are, in the reasonable judgment of the
Borrower, adequate.

            (k) Financial Statements; Projections.

                  (i) The Borrower has furnished or caused to be furnished to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Form 10-K for the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 which, together with other financial statements furnished to
the Lenders subsequent to the Agreement Date have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP and present fairly in all material respects the financial position of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated and consolidating
basis, as the case may be, on and as at such dates and the results of operations
for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited financial
statements, to normal year-end and audit adjustments). None of the Borrower or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any material liabilities, contingent or
otherwise, other than as disclosed in the financial statements most recently
delivered on the Agreement Date or pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 hereof,
and there are no material unrealized losses of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole

                                       63
<PAGE>

and no material anticipated losses of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole other than those which have been previously
disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and identified
as such.

                  (ii) The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders projections for fiscal years 2005 through 2012 (which
projections include the effect of the Station WSAZ Acquisition). Such
projections were prepared by the Borrower in good faith on the basis of
assumptions the Borrower believes were reasonable in light of the conditions
existing at the time of preparation thereof and remain reasonable as of the date
hereof, and as of the date hereof no facts which are known to the Borrower which
the Borrower believes would cause a material adverse change in such projections.
It is acknowledged and understood that the projections as they relate to future
events are not to be viewed as representations and warranties that such events
will occur and actual results may differ significantly from the projected
results.

            (l) No Material Adverse Change. There has occurred no event since
December 31, 2004 which has or which could reasonably be expected to have a
Materially Adverse Effect.

            (m) ERISA. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each of
their respective Plans are in material compliance with ERISA and the Code, and
neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its
Subsidiaries, has incurred any material accumulated funding deficiency with
respect to any such Plan within the meaning of ERISA or the Code. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any promises of retirement or
other benefits to employees, except as set forth in the Plans, in written
agreements with such employees, or in the Borrower's employee handbook and
memoranda to employees. Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates,
including its Subsidiaries, has incurred any material liability to PBGC (other
than premium payments) in connection with any such Plan. Except as set forth in
the Borrower's annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31,
2004, the present value of all "benefit liabilities" (within the meaning of
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) based on the actuarial assumptions used for
funding purposes as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No.
87 ("FASB 87") using the methodology under FASB 87 to calculate the accumulated
benefit obligation, did not exceed as of the most recent Pension Plan actuarial
valuation date the then current fair market value of the assets of such Pension
Plan. No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any
such Plan. No such Plan or trust created thereunder, or party in interest (as
defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA), or any fiduciary (as defined in Section
3(21) of ERISA), has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (as such term is
defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) which would subject
such Plan or any other Plan of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any
trust created thereunder, or any such party in interest or fiduciary, or any
party dealing with any such Plan or any such trust, to a material tax or penalty
on "prohibited transactions" imposed by Section 502 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its
Subsidiaries, is or has been obligated to make any payment to a Multiemployer
Plan.

            (n) Compliance with Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Borrower nor
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities in the

                                       64
<PAGE>

business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, and
neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns or presently
intends to acquire, any "margin security" or "margin stock" (the "margin stock")
as defined in Regulations T, U, and X (12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224) of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Fed Regulations") which
would result in any violation of the Fed Regulations. None of the proceeds of
the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any
Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or
for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a "purpose credit"
within the meaning of said Regulations, in each case which would result in any
violation of the Fed Regulations. The Borrower has not taken, caused or
authorized to be taken, and will not take any action which might cause this
Agreement to violate any Fed Regulation or any other regulation of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in
effect. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish
the Administrative Agent with (i) a statement or statements in conformity with
the requirements of the applicable Federal Reserve Forms referred to in
Regulation U of said Board of Governors and (ii) other documents evidencing its
compliance with the margin regulations, reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent. Neither the making of the Loans nor the use of proceeds
thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of any Fed
Regulation.

            (o) Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is required to register under the provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and neither the entering into or
performance by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of this Agreement
and the Loan Documents violates any provision of such Act or requires any
consent, approval or authorization of, or registration with, the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental or public body or authority
pursuant to any provisions of such Act.

            (p) Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, approval,
authorization, permit or license which has not already been obtained from, or
effect any filing or registration which has not already been effected with, any
federal, state or local regulatory authority in connection with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent,
approval, authorization, permit or license which has not already been obtained
from, or effect any filing or registration which has not already been effected
with, any federal, state or local regulatory authority in connection with the
performance, in accordance with their respective terms, of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, other than filing of appropriate Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements and mortgages.

            (q) Absence of Default, Etc. The Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are in material compliance in all respects with all of the
provisions of their respective partnership agreements, operating agreements,
certificates or articles of incorporation and by-laws, as the case may be, and
no event has occurred or failed to occur (including, without limitation, any
matter which could create a Default hereunder by cross default) which has not
been remedied or waived, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which constitutes,
(i) a Default or (ii) a material

                                       65
<PAGE>

default by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any
indenture, agreement or other instrument relating to Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the amount of $5,000,000.00 or
more in the aggregate, any material license, or any judgment, decree or order to
which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties may be bound or affected.

            (r) Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All material
information, reports, prospectuses and other papers and data relating to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
taken as a whole, were, at the time furnished, true, complete and correct in all
material respects to the extent necessary to give the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter. Any projections
and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon
good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable
and attainable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ
from the projected results.

            (s) Agreements with Affiliates. Except for agreements or
arrangements with Affiliates wherein the Borrower or one or more of its
Restricted Subsidiaries provides services to such Affiliates for fair
consideration or which are set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has (i) any written agreements
or binding arrangements of any kind with any Affiliate or (ii) any management or
consulting agreements of any kind with any Affiliate.

            (t) Payment of Wages. The Borrower and each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries are in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, in
all material respects, and to the knowledge of the Borrower and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, such Persons have paid all minimum and overtime wages
required by law to be paid to their respective employees.

            (u) Priority. The Security Interest is a valid and perfected first
priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral in
favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders,
securing, in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, the
Obligations, and the Collateral is subject to no Liens other than Permitted
Liens. The Liens created by the Security Documents are enforceable as security
for the Obligations in accordance with their terms with respect to the
Collateral subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to the following
qualifications: (i) an order of specific performance and an injunction are
discretionary remedies and, in particular, may not be available where damages
are considered an adequate remedy at law, and (ii) enforcement may be limited by
the Bankruptcy Exception (insofar as it relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar event of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case
may be).

            (v) Indebtedness. Except as described on Schedule 7 attached hereto
none of the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has outstanding, as
of the Agreement Date,

                                       66
<PAGE>

and after giving effect to the initial Advances hereunder on the Agreement Date,
any Indebtedness.

            (w) Solvency. As of the Agreement Date and after giving effect to
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (i) the property of the
Borrower, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debt; (ii) the capital of the
Borrower will not be unreasonably small to conduct its business; (iii) the
Borrower will not have incurred debts, or have intended to incur debts, beyond
its ability to pay such debts as they mature; and (iv) the present fair salable
value of the assets of the Borrower will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay its probable liabilities (including debts) as they become
absolute and matured. For purposes of this Section 4.1(w), "debt" means any
liability on a claim, and "claim" means (i) the right to payment, whether or not
such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent,
matured, unmatured, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (ii)
the right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives
rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is
reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, undisputed, secured
or unsecured.

            (x) Patents, Trademarks, Franchises, etc. The Borrower and each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, possesses, or has the right to use all
necessary patents, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights,
service marks, copyrights and franchises, and rights with respect thereof,
necessary to conduct its respective business as now conducted, without known
conflict with any patent, trademark, trade name, service mark, franchise, or
copyright of any other Person, and in each case, subject to no mortgage, pledge,
Lien, lease, encumbrance, charge, security interest, title retention agreement
or option, other than Permitted Liens. All such patents, trademarks, trademark
rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks, copyrights, and
franchises are listed as of the Agreement Date on Schedule 8 attached hereto and
are in full force and effect, the holder thereof is in full compliance in all
material respects with all of the provisions thereof, and no such asset or
agreement is subject to any pending or, to the Borrower's knowledge, threatened
attack or revocation.

agreement with the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries except as set
forth on Schedule 9 attached hereto, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower and
its officers, there are no material grievances, disputes, or controversies with
any union or any other organization of the employees of the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries or threats of strikes, work stoppages, or any
asserted pending demands for collective bargaining by any union or other
organization except as set forth on Schedule 9 attached hereto.

            (z) Environmental Protection.

                  (i) Except as set forth in Schedule 10 attached hereto,
neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries nor any of their
respective Real Property or operations are subject to any outstanding written
order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to (A)
any Environmental Law, (B) any Environmental Claim or (C) any Hazardous
Materials Activity;

                                       67

                  (ii) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section
104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(42 U.S.C. Section 9604) or any comparable state law.

                  (iii) There are no and, to the Borrower's knowledge, have been
no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could
reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect;

                  (iv) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, nor, to the Borrower's knowledge, any predecessor of the Borrower
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any
Environmental Law indicating past or present Release of Hazardous Materials on
any Real Property, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries' operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment,
storage or disposal of hazardous waste (other than hazardous waste generated in
the ordinary course of business, and which is not reasonably likely to
materially adversely affect the Real Property or have a Materially Adverse
Effect), as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent; and

                  (v) Compliance with all current requirements pursuant to or
under Environmental Laws will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
reasonable possibility of giving rise to a Materially Adverse Effect.

      Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1(z) to the contrary, to the
knowledge of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, no event or
condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of
Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or
in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Materially
Adverse Effect.

Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower: (i) is a Sanctioned Person, (ii) has
a substantial portion of its assets in Sanctioned Entities, or (iii) derives a

Sanctioned Entity.

Conversion of any Advance under this Agreement.

expressly provided herein, shall otherwise consent in writing:

            Section 5.1 Preservation of Existence and Similar Matters. Except as

Permitted Businesses, and (b) comply in all material respects with the

Restricted Subsidiaries to:

            (a) maintain insurance, including, without limitation, business
interruption coverage and public liability coverage insurance from responsible
companies in such amounts and against such risks to the Borrower and each of its

supplies which, if unpaid, might become a Lien or charge upon any of their
properties; provided, however, except that no such tax, assessment, charge, levy
or claim need be paid which is being diligently contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set
aside on the appropriate books, but only so long as such tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim does not become a Lien or charge other than a Permitted
Lien and no foreclosure, distraint, sale or similar proceedings shall have been

treatment of Hazardous Materials, accepts for transport any Hazardous Materials,
or holds any interest in real property. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries shall cause or allow the release of Hazardous Materials,
solid waste or other wastes on, under or to any Real Property in which the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary holds any interest or performs any of its

                                       75

<PAGE>

operations, in material violation of any applicable Environmental Law. The
Borrower shall notify the Lenders promptly after its receipt of notice thereof,
of any Environmental Claim which the Borrower receives involving any potential
or actual material liability of the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries arising in connection with any noncompliance with or violation of
the requirements of any Environmental Law or a material Release or threatened
Release of any Hazardous Materials, into the environment in violation of
applicable Environmental Law. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders (i)
of any material Release of Hazardous Material on, under or from the Real
Property in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries holds or
has held an interest, upon the Borrower's learning thereof by receipt of notice
that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is or may be liable to
any Person as a result of such Release or that the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary has been identified as potentially responsible for, or is subject to
investigation by any governmental authority relating to, such Release, and (ii)
of the commencement or overt threat of any judicial or administrative proceeding
alleging a violation of any Environmental Laws.

            (b) If the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis
to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Law by, or any
liability arising thereunder of, the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or related to any real property owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, which violation or liability
could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect, then the
Borrower shall, upon request from the Administrative Agent, provide the
Administrative Agent with such reports, certificates, engineering studies or
other written material or data as the Administrative Agent reasonably may
require so as to reasonably satisfy the Administrative Agent that the Borrower
or such Restricted Subsidiary is in material compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws.

            (c) The Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns harmless from and against
all costs, expenses, claims, demands, damages, penalties and liabilities of
every kind or nature whatsoever incurred by them (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney fees and expenses) arising out of, resulting from or
relating to (i) the noncompliance of the Borrower, any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or any property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries or any property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries and required by Environmental Laws or by order of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction under any Environmental Laws, or
(iii) any injury to any Person whatsoever or damage to any property arising out
of, in connection with or in any way relating to the breach of any of the
environmental warranties or covenants in this Agreement or any facts or
circumstances that cause any of the environmental representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement to cease to be true, or (iv) the existence,
treatment, storage, Release, generation, transportation, removal, manufacture or
other handling of any Hazardous Material on or affecting any property owned or
leased by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (v) the
presence of any asbestos-containing material or underground storage tanks,
whether in use or closed, under or on any property owned or leased by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any such costs, expenses, claims,
demands, damages, penalties or liabilities that are determined in a final

aggregate with other such judgments, $10,000,000.00, or a warrant of attachment
or execution or similar process shall be issued or levied against property of
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which, together with all
other such property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
subject to other such process, exceeds in value $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate,
and if, within thirty (30) days after the entry, issue or levy thereof, such
judgment, warrant or process shall not have been paid or discharged or stayed
pending appeal or removed to bond, or if, after the expiration of any such stay,
such judgment, warrant or process shall not have been paid or discharged or
removed to bond;

                  (j) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a
Materially Adverse Effect:

                  there shall be at any time any "accumulated funding
         deficiency," as defined in ERISA or in Section 412 of the Code, with
         respect to any Plan maintained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate, or to which the Borrower or any of
         its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has any liabilities,
         or any trust created thereunder; or

                  a trustee shall be appointed by a United States District Court
         to administer any such Plan; or

                  the PBGC shall institute proceedings to terminate any such
         Plan; or

                  the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any
         ERISA Affiliate shall incur any liability to PBGC in connection with
         the termination of any such Plan; or

                  any Plan or trust created under any Plan of the Borrower or
         any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate shall engage
         in a "prohibited transaction" (as such term is defined in Section 406
         of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) which would subject any such
         Plan, any trust created thereunder, any trustee or administrator
         thereof, or any party dealing with any such Plan or trust to the tax or
         penalty on "prohibited transactions" imposed by Section 502 of ERISA or
         Section 4975 of the Code;

                  (k) There shall occur (i) any default under any instrument,
document or agreement relating to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount exceeding
$15,000,000.00; (ii) any event or condition the occurrence of which would permit
such acceleration of such Indebtedness, or which, as a result of a failure to
comply with the terms thereof, would make such Indebtedness otherwise due and

                                       89

<PAGE>

payable, and which event or condition has not been cured within any applicable
cure period or waived in writing prior to any declaration of an Event of Default
or acceleration of the Loans hereunder; or (iii) any material default under any
Interest Rate Hedge Agreement which would permit the obligation of the Borrower
to make payments to the counterparty thereunder to be then due and payable;

                  (l) Any Loan Document or any material provision thereof, shall
at any time and for any reason be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be null and void, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries or by any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries seeking to
establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of
interpretation of any provision thereof), or the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries shall deny that it has any liability or obligation for
the payment of principal or interest purported to be created under any Loan
Document;

                  (m) Any Security Document shall for any reason, fail or cease
(except by reason of lapse of time) to create a valid and perfected and
first-priority Lien on or Security Interest in any portion of the Collateral
purported to be covered thereby other than as a result of the action or inaction
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, subject only to Permitted Liens;

                  (n) (i) Any Person (or group of Persons) is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the
federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of
a percentage of the voting Ownership Interests of the Borrower greater than
thirty-five percent (35%), other than any Permitted Holder; or (ii) during any
period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning
of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the Borrower (together with
any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election
by the stockholders of the Borrower was approved by a majority of the directors
then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period
or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease
for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in
office; or (iii) except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower
shall cease or fail to own, directly or indirectly, beneficial and legal title
to all of the issued and outstanding Ownership Interests of each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower shall cease
to be a wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower;

                  (o) Any material License shall be cancelled, terminated,
rescinded, revoked, suspended, impaired, otherwise finally denied renewal, or
otherwise modified in any material adverse respect, or shall be renewed on terms
that materially and adversely affect the economic or commercial value or
usefulness thereof; or any material License shall cease to be in full force and
effect; or the grant of any material License shall have been stayed, vacated or
reversed, or modified in any material adverse respect by judicial or
administrative proceedings; or any administrative law judge or other
representative of the FCC shall have issued an initial decision in any
non-comparative material License renewal, material License revocation or any
comparative (multiple applicant) proceeding to the effect that any material
License should be revoked or not be renewed; or any other proceeding shall have
been instituted by the FCC or

                                       90

<PAGE>

shall have been commenced before any court, the FCC or any other regulatory body
that could reasonably be expected to result in (i) cancellation, termination,
rescission, revocation, material impairment, suspension or denial of renewal of
a material License, (ii) a modification of a material License in a material
adverse respect or a renewal thereof on terms that materially and adversely
affect the economic or commercial value or usefulness thereof or (iii) the
forfeiture (within the meaning of 47 C.F.R. Section 1.80 of the FCC Regulations)
or other materially adverse effect on or with respect to any material License
that would result in a Materially Adverse Effect on the Borrower as a result of
the failure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof to comply with
any FCC Regulation regarding digital television broadcasting;

                  (p) Any Operating Agreement or any other agreement which is
necessary to the operation of a Station or any other Permitted Business shall be
revoked or terminated or materially, adversely modified and not replaced by a
substitute reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days
of such revocation, termination or modification;

                  (q) The Borrower's on-the-air broadcast operations at any
Station shall be interrupted at any time for more than forty-eight (48) hours,
whether or not consecutive, during any period of five (5) consecutive days, and
such interruption could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse
Effect; or

                  (r) The Borrower shall fail to comply with any agreement or
instrument governing or evidencing any Subordinated Indebtedness or any separate
subordination agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall have determined that
such failure to comply could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or on its ability
to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or on
the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or
under the Loan Documents.

                  Section 8.2 Remedies.

                  (a) If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1 hereof
(other than an Event of Default under Section 8.1(g) or (h) hereof) shall have
occurred and shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent, at the request of
the Required Lenders subject to Section 9.9 hereof, shall (i) (A) terminate the
Commitments, and/or (B) declare the principal of and interest on the Loans and
all other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
anything in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the Commitments shall thereupon forthwith terminate and
(ii) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in an
interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for
the Obligations, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time
thereafter to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Borrower
hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and
grants to them a security interest in, all such cash as security for the
Obligations.

                                       91

<PAGE>

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
specified in Section 8.1(g) or (h) hereof, all principal, interest and other
amounts due hereunder, and all other Obligations (other than Interest Rate Hedge
Obligations), shall thereupon and concurrently therewith become due and payable
and the Commitments shall forthwith terminate and the principal amount of the
Loans outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and the
Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in an interest bearing account with the
Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for the Obligations, an amount equal to
the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter to be drawn on all
outstanding Letters of Credit, all without any action by the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Required Lenders and the Issuing Bank, or any of them,
and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are expressly waived, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, anything
in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and grants to them a security interest in, all
such cash as security for the Obligations.

                  (c) Upon acceleration of the Obligations (other than Interest
Rate Hedge Obligations), as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
8.2, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all of the post-default
rights granted to them, or any of them, as applicable under the Loan Documents
and under Applicable Law.

                  (d) Upon acceleration of the Obligations (other than Interest
Rate Hedge Obligations), as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
8.2, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon
the request of the Lenders to operate the business of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Licenses and
pursuant to the terms and subject to any limitations contained in the Security
Documents and, within guidelines established by the Required Lenders, to make
any and all payments and expenditures necessary or desirable in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, payment of wages as required under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and of any necessary withholding taxes to
state or federal authorities. In the event the Required Lenders fail to agree
upon the guidelines referred to in the preceding sentence within six (6)
Business Days after the Administrative Agent has begun to operate the business
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may, after giving three (3) days'
prior written notice to the Lenders of its intention to do so, make such
payments and expenditures as it deems reasonable and advisable in its sole
discretion to maintain the normal day-to-day operation of such business. Such
payments and expenditures in excess of receipts shall constitute Advances under
this Agreement, not in excess of the amount of the Commitments. Advances made
pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) shall bear interest as provided in Section
2.3(d) hereof and shall be payable on demand. The making of one or more Advances
under this Section 8.2(d) shall not create any obligation on the part of the
Lenders to make any additional Advances hereunder. No exercise by the
Administrative Agent of the rights granted to it under this Section 8.2(d) shall
constitute a waiver of any other rights and remedies granted to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, under this Agreement or at
law. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as agent
for the Lenders, the true and lawful attorney of the Borrower, in its name and
stead and on its behalf, to execute, receipt for or otherwise act in connection
with any and all contracts, instruments or other documents in connection with
the operation of the Borrower's business in the exercise of the Administrative
Agent's and the Lenders' rights under this Section 8.2(d).

                                       92

<PAGE>

Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The
rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.2(d) shall be subject to
its prior compliance with Applicable Law to the extent applicable to the
exercise of such rights.

                  (e) Upon acceleration of the Obligations (other than Interest
Rate Hedge Obligations), as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
8.2, the Administrative Agent, upon request of the Required Lenders, shall have
the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and the Borrower, for itself and on
behalf of its Restricted Subsidiaries, hereby consents to such rights and such
appointment and hereby waives any objection the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted
by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection therewith.
The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.2(e) shall be
subject to its prior compliance with Applicable Law to the extent applicable to
the exercise of such rights.

                  (f) The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative, and not exclusive.

                  Section 8.3 Payments Subsequent to Declaration of Event of
Default. Subsequent to the acceleration of the Loans under Section 8.2 hereof,
payments and prepayments under this Agreement made to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders or otherwise received by any of such Persons (from realization
on Collateral for the Obligations or otherwise) shall be paid over to the
Administrative Agent (if necessary) and distributed by the Administrative Agent
as follows: first, to the Administrative Agent's reasonable costs and expenses,
if any, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or
prepayment, including, without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred by it
in connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations
and all amounts under Section 11.2(b) and (c) hereof; second, to the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis, based on all
such amounts then due and payable for any fees and expenses hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents then due and payable; third, to the Lenders pro
rata, to the payment of any unpaid interest which may have accrued on the
Obligations; fourth, to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on the Loans and
Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding until all Loans and Letter of
Credit Obligations have been paid in full (and, for purposes of this clause,
Interest Rate Hedge Obligations shall be paid to the counterparty thereof on a
pro rata basis with the Loans); provided that the portion of such payment
allocated to any outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit shall be deposited as set
forth in Section 8.2(a) or (b) hereof; fifth, to the Lenders on a pro rata
basis, based on the Loans outstanding to the payment of any other unpaid
Obligations; sixth, to damages incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, by reason of any breach hereof or of any
other Loan Document (on a pro rata basis, based on all such amounts then due and
payable); and seventh, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                            The Administrative Agent

                                       93

<PAGE>

                  Section 9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia to act on its behalf as
the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither the
Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions.

                  Section 9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.

                  Section 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

                  (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

                  (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action
or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

                  (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Section 11.5(g) and Section 8.2) or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent

                                       94

<PAGE>

jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing
such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or
the Issuing Bank.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

                  Section 9.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                  Section 9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

                  Section 9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

      (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such

                                       95
<PAGE>
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, in consultation with
the Borrower (provided that no such consultation shall be required if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Article and Section 5.11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

      (b) Any resignation by Wachovia as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring
Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor
Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other
arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the
obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

            Section 9.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or

                                       96
<PAGE>

based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or
any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

            Section 9.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the syndication agent, documentation agents, co-agents,
book manager, lead manager, arranger, Lead Arranger or co-arranger listed on the
cover page or signature pages hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder.

            Section 9.9 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) pro rata
according to their respective Commitment Ratios and Incremental Facility
Commitment Ratios, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses
(other than the loss of principal and interest hereunder in the event of a
bankruptcy or out-of-court "work-out" of the Loans), damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable fees and
expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel), or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other
document contemplated by this Agreement, except that no Lender shall be liable
to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or
disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of
a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter.

            Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion,

            (a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders, under
any Loan Document (i) upon repayment of the outstanding principal of and all
accrued interest on the Loans, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses
hereunder, the termination of the Lenders' Commitments and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of
or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.5(g), if approved, authorized or
ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

            (b) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by
the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on
such Collateral that is permitted by clause (n) of the definition of "Permitted
Liens";

            (c) to release any Restricted Subsidiary from its obligations under
the Subsidiary Guaranty if such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

                                       97
<PAGE>

            (d) to negotiate and enter into any necessary and customary
intercreditor agreements with the holders of any senior Indebtedness issued
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.15.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Restricted Subsidiary from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty
pursuant to this Section.

            Section 9.11 Release of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. In connection
with this Agreement, the Lenders (a) agree that each of the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries are released from their respective obligations under the Loan
Documents and (b) authorize the Administrative Agent to deliver and file such
releases, terminations and other documents deemed necessary or desirable by the
Administrative Agent to evidence such release.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                Change in Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Advances

            Section 10.1 LIBOR Basis Determination Inadequate or Unfair. If with
respect to any proposed LIBOR Advance for any Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that
deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of
the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist (which notice shall
be promptly given following the Administrative Agent's knowledge of the
termination of any such circumstance), the obligations of any affected Lender to
make its portion of such LIBOR Advances shall be suspended.

            Section 10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof, the adoption of
any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before
or after the Agreement Date), or any change in interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its portion of LIBOR
Advances, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders
and the Borrower. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 10.2, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if
such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous
to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained
in Article 2 hereof, the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding
principal amount of such Lender's portion of each affected LIBOR Advance,
together with accrued interest thereon, on either (a) the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Advances if such
Lender may lawfully continue to

                                       98
<PAGE>

maintain and fund its portion of such LIBOR Advance to such day or (b)
immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain its
portion of such affected LIBOR Advances to such day. Concurrently with repaying
such portion of each affected LIBOR Advance, the Borrower may borrow a Base Rate
Advance from such Lender, whether or not it would have been entitled to effect
such borrowing and such Lender shall make such Advance, if so requested, in an
amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the affected Loan held by
such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Loan or Loans
immediately prior to such repayment.

            Section 10.3 Increased Costs.

            (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or
any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement
Date), or any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Lender
with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency:

                  (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge
with respect to its obligation to make its portion of LIBOR Advances, or its
portion of existing Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments
to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its portion of LIBOR Advances
or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement, in respect of its
portion of LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make its portion of LIBOR
Advances (except for changes in the rate or method of calculation of tax on the
revenues or net income of such Lender); or

                  (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable LIBOR
Reserve Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other
requirement or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or commitments or credit extended by, any Lender or shall impose on any Lender
or the London interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting its
obligation to make its portion of such LIBOR Advances or its portion of existing
Advances;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any of its portion of LIBOR Advances, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement
with respect thereto, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender,
the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender for such increased costs. Each Lender will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 10.3 and will designate a different
lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
of, such compensation and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such
Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

                                       99
<PAGE>

            (b) Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 shall
provide the Borrower with a written certificate setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor in
reasonable detail. Such certificate shall be presumptively correct absent
manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be
obligated to compensate such Lender for any amount under this subsection arising
or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for compensation, any
time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on
which such Lender submits such request and (ii) any other time or period during
which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law,
regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender could not
reasonably have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable and customary
averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender demands compensation under this
Section 10.3, the Borrower may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business
Days' prior notice to such Lender, prepay in full such Lender's portion of the
then outstanding LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon to the
date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.10
hereof. Concurrently with prepaying such portion of LIBOR Advances the Borrower
may, whether or not then entitled to make such borrowing, borrow a Base Rate
Advance, or a LIBOR Advance not so affected, from such Lender, and such Lender
shall, if so requested, make such Advance in an amount such that the outstanding
principal amount of the affected Loan or Loans held by such Lender shall equal
the outstanding principal amount of such Loan or Loans immediately prior to such
prepayment.

            Section 10.4 Effect On Other Advances. If notice has been given
pursuant to Section 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 hereof suspending the obligation of any
Lender to make its portion of any type of LIBOR Advance, or requiring such
Lender's portion of LIBOR Advances to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and
until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such repayment no longer apply, all amounts which would otherwise be made by
such Lender as its portion of LIBOR Advances shall, unless otherwise notified by
the Borrower, be made instead as Base Rate Advances.

            Section 10.5 Claims for Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that
any Lender (a) shall decline to make LIBOR Advances pursuant to Sections 10.1
and 10.2 hereof, (b) shall have notified the Borrower that it is entitled to
claim compensation pursuant to Sections 10.3, 2.12 or 2.14(f) hereof, (c) is
unable to complete the form required or subject to withholding as provided in
Section 2.13 hereof or (d) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment,
waiver, discharge or termination which, pursuant to the terms of Section 11.12
or any other provision of any Loan Document, requires the consent of all Lenders
or all affected Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall
have granted their consent (each such lender being an "Affected Lender"), the
Borrower at its own cost and expense may designate a replacement lender (a
"Replacement Lender") to assume the Commitment and the obligations of any such
Affected Lender hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans of such
Affected Lender and such Affected Lender's rights hereunder and with respect
thereto, and within ten (10) Business Days of such designation the Affected
Lender shall (a) sell to such Replacement Lender, without recourse upon,
warranty by or expense to such Affected Lender, by way of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, for
a purchase price equal to (unless such Lender agrees to a lesser amount) the
outstanding principal amount of

                                      100
<PAGE>

the Loans of such Affected Lender, plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon
and all other amounts owing to such Affected Lender hereunder, and (b) assign
the Commitment of such Affected Lender and upon such assumption and purchase by
the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a "Lender"
for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a
"Lender" for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations
or rights hereunder (other than any obligations or rights which according to
this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Commitment).

            (b) Any party hereto may change the address to which notices shall
be directed under this Section 11.1 by giving ten (10) days' written notice of
such change to the other parties.

            Section 11.2 Expenses. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
will promptly pay, or reimburse:

            (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
Agent and the Lead Arranger in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto, and the transactions
contemplated hereunder and thereunder and the making of the initial Advance
hereunder (whether or not such Advance is made), including, but not limited to,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent
and the Lead Arranger and the reasonable costs and expenses associated with the
syndication of this facility; and

            (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders of enforcement under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
collection if an Event of Default occurs in the payment of the Loans, which in
each case shall include reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel
for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

            Section 11.3 Waivers. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would
otherwise have. No failure or delay by the

                                      102
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, or the Lenders, or any of them, in
exercising any right, shall operate as a waiver of such right. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve the right to require
strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any future
funding of a Request for Advance. In the event the Lenders decide to fund a
Request for Advance at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with
the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not be deemed to
constitute an undertaking by the Lenders to fund any further Request for Advance
or preclude the Lenders or the Administrative Agent from exercising any rights
available under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence
granted by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Required Lenders, shall
not constitute a modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or
constitute a course of dealing at variance with the terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document such as to require further notice of their intent to
require strict adherence to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in the future.

            Section 11.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof,
the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders are hereby authorized by the
Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to
any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and
to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of
deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness
at any time held or owing by any Lender or Administrative Agent, to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, all
Obligations and any other claims of any nature or description arising out of or
connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of
whether (a) any Lender or Administrative Agent shall have made any demand
hereunder or (b) any Lender or Administrative Agent shall have declared the
principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due
and payable as permitted by Section 8.2 hereof and although such obligations and
liabilities or any of them shall be contingent or unmatured. Upon direction by
the Administrative Agent with the consent of all of the Lenders each Lender
holding deposits of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
exercise its set-off rights as so directed.

      Section 11.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

            (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that
neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this
Section 11.5, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph (d) of this Section 11.5 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section
11.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall
be null and void).

                                      103
<PAGE>

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d)
of this Section 11.5 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

            (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one
or more Eligible Assignees (such Person, a "Purchasing Lender") all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

                  (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time
owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if
the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than $1,000,000, unless (A) such assignment is made to an existing Lender,
to an Affiliate thereof, or (with respect to any Term Loan) to an Approved Fund,
in which case no minimum amount shall apply, or (B) each of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to
have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice
thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such
fifth (5th) Business Day; provided further that all simultaneous assignments to
any proposed assignee and any Approved Funds that are Affiliates of such
assignee shall be aggregated and treated as a single assignment for purposes of
determining compliance with the minimum assignment amount specified in this
paragraph;

                  (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that
this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion
of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

                  (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment must be
approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (each such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the
proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment (whether
or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);
and

                  (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

                                      104
<PAGE>

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 2.13 and Article X
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

            (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in
Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

            (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent
of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the
Borrower's Affiliates or Restricted Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all
or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement.

      Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section
11.12 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 and Article X, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and
10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent

                                      105
<PAGE>

permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

            (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 10.3 and 10.5
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A
Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.3 unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
10.5(e) as though it were a Lender.

this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

            (g) Certain Pledges or Assignments. Any Lender may at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

            Section 11.6 Accounting Principles. All references in this Agreement
to GAAP shall be to such principles as in effect from time to time. All
accounting terms used herein without definition shall be used as defined under
GAAP. All references to the financial statements of the Borrower and to its
Total Indebtedness, Senior Secured Indebtedness and Fixed Charges, and other
such terms shall be deemed to refer to such items of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, on a fully consolidated basis.

            Section 11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts (including by virtue of an Authorization), each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or an Authorization shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement and
delivery of or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
such other document or instrument, as applicable.

            Section 11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, and the other Loan
Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made to be performed in New York. If any action or
proceeding shall be brought by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
or under any other Loan Document in order to enforce any right or remedy under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower hereby consents and
will, and the Borrower will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, submit to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in
the county of New York on the date of this Agreement. The Borrower, for itself
and on behalf of its Restricted Subsidiaries, hereby agrees that, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, service of the summons and complaint and all other
process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing by registered mail a copy of such process to the offices of
the Borrower at the address given in Section 11.1 hereof and that personal
service of process shall not be required. Nothing

                                      107
<PAGE>

herein shall be construed to prohibit service of process by any other method
permitted by law, or the bringing of any suit, action or proceeding in any other
jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that final judgment in such suit, action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

            Section 11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

            Section 11.10 Interest.

            (a) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable
hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and in
the event any such payment is inadvertently made by the Borrower or
inadvertently received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, then such
excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in writing, that it elects
to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that
the Borrower not pay and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not receive,
directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that
which may legally be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

            (b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Base Rate and the
LIBOR as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the
Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source
in order to charge interest to the Borrower at interest rates related to such
reference rates.

            Section 11.11 Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents
and the headings of the various subdivisions used in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not in any way modify or amend any of the terms or
provisions hereof, nor be used in connection with the interpretation of any
provision hereof.

            Section 11.12 Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any
term hereof may be amended orally, nor may any provision hereof be waived orally
but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Required Lenders or the
Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders and, in the case
of an amendment, by the Borrower, except that in the event of (a) any increase
in the amount of any Commitment or any increase in any Lender's Commitment
Ratio, (b) any waiver, delay, extension or extensions in the terms or events of
repayment of the Loans or any mandatory reductions in any Commitment provided in
Section 2.7(b) hereof, (c) any reduction in principal, interest or fees due
hereunder or postponement of the payment thereof (including, without limitation,
any postponement or extension of the Maturity Date) without a corresponding
payment by the Borrower (other than with respect to the Default Rate as provided
in Section 2.3(d) hereof), (d) any release of any material portion of the
Collateral for the Loans, except in connection with a merger, sale or other
disposition otherwise permitted hereunder (in which case such release shall
require no further approval by the Lenders), (e) any waiver of any Default due
to the failure by the Borrower to pay

                                      108
<PAGE>

any sum due to any of the Lenders hereunder, (f) any release of any Guaranty of
all or any portion of the Obligations, except in connection with a merger, sale
or other disposition otherwise permitted hereunder (in which case, such release
shall require no further approval by the Lenders) or (g) any amendment of this
Section 11.12, the definition of Required Lenders or of any Section or
definition herein to the extent that such Section or definition requires action
by all Lenders, any such amendment or waiver or consent may be made only by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the Lenders directly affected thereby
and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, by the Borrower.
Any amendment to Section 2.9(d), Section 2.11 or Section 8.3 may be made only by
an instrument in writing signed by each of the Lenders directly affected
thereby, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Any amendment to any
provision hereunder governing the rights, obligations or liabilities of the
Administrative Agent may be made only by an instrument in writing signed by the
Administrative Agent and by each of the Lenders. No term or provision of any
Security Document may be amended or waived orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the direction of the Required
Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, by such of the Borrower and the
Borrower's Restricted Subsidiaries as are party thereto; provided, however, that
the written consent of all of the Lenders shall be required with respect to any
amendment to or waiver of the provisions of any Security Document which would
have the effect of (i) releasing any material portion of the Collateral for the
Loans, other than in connection with any merger, sale or other disposition
otherwise permitted hereunder (which shall require no further approval by the
Lenders) or (ii) releasing any guarantor from all or any portion of the
Obligations, except in connection with a merger, sale or other disposition
otherwise permitted hereunder (in which case, such release shall require no
further approval by the Lenders). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, (x) no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement
that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the
Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Revolving Loan or
the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be effective unless the Required
Revolving Lenders shall have concurred with such waiver or modification and (y)
each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its
behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications
to this Agreement (including, without limitation, amendments to this Section
11.12) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan
Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to
effectuate the terms of Sections 2.15 or 2.16 of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, as applicable, (1) to permit the Incremental Facility
Commitments and Incremental Facility Loans to share ratably in the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (2) to permit the Incremental
Facility Commitments and the Incremental Facility Loans to be structured as
second lien credit facilities, and (3) to include the Lenders with an
Incremental Facility Commitment or outstanding Incremental Facility Loans in any
determination of Required Lenders); provided that no amendment or modification
shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender's Commitment or any
increase in any Lender's Commitment Ratio, in each case, without the written
consent of such affected Lender.

            Section 11.13 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, this Agreement and the other documents described or
contemplated herein will embody the entire agreement and understanding among the
parties hereto and thereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

            Section 11.14 Other Relationships. No relationship created hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of the

relationships with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates beyond the
relationships specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

            Section 11.15 Directly or Indirectly. If any provision in this
Agreement refers to any action taken or to be taken by any Person, or which such
Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether
such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not
expressly specified in such provision.

            Section 11.16 Reliance on and Survival of Various Provisions. All
covenants, agreements, statements, representations and warranties made herein or
in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto (a) shall be deemed to have been
relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders notwithstanding
any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by them, and (b) shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any Obligation is outstanding and unpaid. Any right
to indemnification hereunder, including, without limitation, rights pursuant to
Sections 2.10, 2.12, 2.14, 5.11, 10.3 and 11.2 hereof, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment and performance of all
Obligations.

            Section 11.17 Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations are secured by
the Security Documents and are intended by the parties hereto to be in parity
with the Interest Rate Hedge Agreements and senior in right of payment to all
other Indebtedness of the Borrower.

            Section 11.18 Obligations Several. The obligations of the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereunder are several, not joint.

            Section 11.19 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XI and any
other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in
full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
against events arising after such termination as well as before.

            Section 11.20 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in
effect from the Agreement Date through and including the date upon which all
Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been
indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and all Commitments have
been terminated. The Administrative Agent is hereby permitted to release all
Liens on the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of itself and the Lenders, upon repayment of the outstanding principal
of and all accrued interest on the Loans, payment of all outstanding fees and
expenses hereunder and the termination of the Lender's Commitments unless the
Administrative Agent has received written notice prior to such release from the
holder of any Interest Rate Hedge Obligations that such Interest Rate Hedge
Obligation remains outstanding. No termination of this Agreement shall affect
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such
termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such
termination.

presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

            Section 11.23 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement
constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Prior Loan Agreement effective
from and after the Agreement Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement

of this Agreement. On the Agreement Date, (a) the credit facilities described in
the Prior Loan Agreement shall be amended and supplemented by the facilities
described herein, (b) all Revolving Loans outstanding as of such date under the

Loan Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, (c) the Term Loans outstanding as of
such date under the Prior Loan Agreement shall be converted to Term Loan B
hereunder or repaid and the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of

Prior Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit outstanding
hereunder, in each case, without further action by any Person.

Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
