     2.5 Notice and Manner of Borrowing and Rate Conversion.

     2.5.1 Loans. Borrower shall give Bank irrevocable telephonic
notice of each proposed Revolver Loan or permitted rate conversion not later
than 11:00 a.m. (local time in Charlotte, North Carolina) (a) on the same
business day as each proposed Loan or rate conversion to a Base Rate Loan or
a LMIR Loan. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date of such Loan or
rate conversion, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the amount of each
Loan or the amount to be converted, and (iii) the interest rate selected by
Borrower from the interest rate options set forth in this Agreement. The
Loans, at any time, shall either be all LMIR Loans or all Base Rate Loans.
All Loans shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Notices received after 11:00
a.m. (local time in Charlotte, North Carolina) shall be deemed received on
the next Business Day. Bank’s acceptance of such a request shall be
indicated by its making the Loan or advance requested. Such a Loan or
advance shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds
by deposit into the Disbursement Account.

     2.5.2 Additional Provisions for Requests for Revolver Loans.
Bank, in its discretion, may require from Borrower a signed written request
for a Revolver Loan in form of a Notice of Borrowing satisfactory to Bank,
which request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered to Bank no later
than 11:00 a.m. (local time in Charlotte, North Carolina) on the date
determined in accordance with Section 2.5.1, and shall set forth the
calculation of the Borrowing Base and a reconciliation to the previous
request or Borrowing Base Certificate, specify the information required by
Section 2.5.1 for the proposed Revolver Loan and provide such other
information as Bank may require.

     (a) Subject to subsection 2.5.2(c) below, unless payment is
otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any amount
required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether
as principal, accrued interest, fees or other

6

 

charges owed to Bank or any Affiliate of Bank) shall be deemed
irrevocably to be a request (without the requirement for the
submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due
date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such
Obligations, and Bank may disburse the proceeds of such Revolver
Loans by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligations, and such
Revolver Loans shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.

     (b) Subject to subsection 2.5.2(c) below, the presentation for
payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on the
Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in
such account to cover such item shall be deemed irrevocably to be a
request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of
Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for
payment, and Bank may disburse the proceeds of such Revolver Loans to
the Disbursement Account and such Revolver Loans shall bear interest
as Base Rate Loans.

     (c) Bank shall have no obligation to Borrower to honor any
deemed request for a Revolver Loan under Section 2.5.2(a) or Section
2.5.2(b) above after the Termination Date or when the principal
amount of such Revolver Loan, when added to the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Revolver Loans and the Letter of Credit
Obligations would exceed the lesser of the Revolver Commitment and
the Borrowing Base at such time or when any condition precedent in
Section 3.3 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion
and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to
have waived, any Default or Event of Default.

     2.5.3 Excess Outstandings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make or permit to remain
outstanding Revolver Loans which, when added to the principal amount of all
other Revolver Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, exceed the Revolver
Commitment or the Borrowing Base, and all such amounts shall (i) be part of
the Obligations evidenced by the Revolver Note, (ii) bear interest as
provided herein, (iii) be payable upon demand by Bank, and (iv) be secured
by the Collateral and be entitled to all rights and security as provided
under the Loan Documents.

     (r) Section 2.6.1(a) is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of such
section:

7

 

Unless otherwise specified by Borrower, all principal repayment of Revolver Loans
shall be applied by Bank first to outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to
