          KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that we
the uudersigned Principal and the Surety, an authorized insurer in the State of

for the use and benefit of all employees of the Principal who may be entitled
to compensation under laws of the State of Illinois known as the Workers’
Compensation Act, effective July 9, 1951 as amended and the Workers’
Occupational Diseases Act effective July 9, 1951 as amended (hereinafter collectively
called the “Acts”) in the stated Bond Amount for the payment of which sum we
bind ourselves, our successors and assigns jointly and severally firmly by
these presents as hertinafter provided.

          Principal is an employer which has
been granted permission by the Industrial Commission of
Illinois to provide and pay the compensation
benefits provided for in the Acts without insurance
for which Principal is required to provide security
guaranteeing payment by Principal of the amounts due to employees of Principal
under the Acts.

          The condition of the foregoing
obligation is such that if the said Principal shall pay or cause to be paid
direct to principal’s employees the amounts due or that may become due under
the Acts as the result of injuries and exposures occurring at any time
subsequent to the date of the granting of permission as a private self-insurer
under the Acts and the costs of defense related thereto, then this obligation
shall be void; otherwise it is to be and remain in full force and effect.

          Limit of Liability. Notwithstanding
the number of claimants or the number of times that the Bond is renewed or
premium is paid there shall be only one Bond Amount and in no event shall the
aggregate liability of the Surery including the costs of defense exceed the
single Bond Amount shown above.

           PAYMENT of Proceeds. The Surety
hereon does hereby recognize this Bond as a direct financial guarantee to
Principal's employees whether they be known, unknown, or unnamed, and that
Principal’s employees are hereby authorized to maintain direct action on this
Bond including action for reasonable attorneys fees incurred in any action
brought on this Bond. The Surety shall have the right to administer and defend
all claims under the Bond. However, the Illinois Self-Insurers Advisory Board
pursuant to statute in such case made and provided may make demand upon Surety
for the payment of the Bond Amount or so much as required thereof to the
Illinois Self-Insurers Security Fund for the sole purpose of discharging
Surety's obligations hereunder. After such demand has been made no employee
shall maintain a direct action on this bond and the Surety shall not make any
payment under the Bond to any employee. Surety shall be released from liability
under this Bond to the extent of any payment made to the Illinois Self-Insurers
Security Fund.

          One

provisions of the Acts have been satisfied and paid any funds from this Bond
remaining on deposit in the Illinois Self

employees, Surety shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any of
the rights and remedies of Principal against any party in respect of said
injuries or exposures and shall be entitled at Surety’s own expense to sue in
the name of Principal. The Principal shall give Surety all such assistance in
its power as Surety may require to secure Surety ’s rights and remedies and. at
Surety’s request, shall execute all documents necessary to enable Surety
effectively to bring suit in the name of Principal. including the execution and
delivery of the customary Form of loan reccipt.

          Cancellation. The Surety or Principal
shall have the right to cancel this Bond at any time upon giving the other
party and the Industrial Commission of Illinois at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice or its desire so to do such cancellation, however, shall not
affect Surety’s liability as to any amounts then due or thereafter to become
due hereunder as the result of injuries or exposures occurring prior to the
date of cancellation specified in such notice provided that if immediately
following such cancellation date and without interruption. Principal continues
as a qualified private self-insurer under the Acts for which a subsequent
surety bond or other financial security for the benefit of Principal’s
employees is issued the Surety hereon is released from all liability under this
Bond for injuries or exposures whensoever they occurred and Surety’s obligation
hereunder shall be void.

"Principal") and Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland
(hereinafter "Surety") for the benefit of the North Carolina
Commissioner of Insurance (hereinafter "the Commissioner") for the
purposes set out in North Carolina General Statute §97–185. This surety
bond is made in consideration of the Commissioner's issuance of a license to
self insure for workers' compensation to the Principal. The Principal and
Surety, for themselves, their heirs, assigns, and successors, agree to be
jointly and severally liable to the Commissioner for the sum of One Million and
00/100 dollars for any and all of Principal's unpaid liabilities or obligations
under Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statutes, regardless of when
such liabilities arose or were incurred, including those arising prior to the
effective date of this bond.

          Additionally, Surety agrees that it
will fulfill all financial obligations and liabilities of the Principal under
Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statutes in the event that the
Principal fails to meet such obligations and liabilities. Surety shall be
liable for the total amount of this bond to the extent that the Principal is or
would be liable under Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Surety
shall not be liable for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount stated in
this surety bond or in any endorsements hereto.

          This surety bond shall remain in full
force and effect until canceled in writing by the Commissioner pursuant to
North Carolina law. Upon cancellation, Surety shall remain liable under the
provisions of this surety bond for all obligations and liabilities of the
Principal under the Workers' Compensation Act which arose or were created prior
to the effective date of the cancellation. The Surety may be released from its
liability and obligations under this surety bond if the Principal provides
replacement security acceptable to the Commissioner in his discretion. If the
Commissioner accepts replacement security, the Commissioner will notify the
Surety in writing of its release from its liability and obligations under this
surety bond.

          Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 97–185(a),

required security on deposit with the Commissioner. Such changes to the
principle amount of this bond may be made by written endorsement executed by
Principal and Surety. Any ordered increase in the security required to be

Surety shall notify the Commissioner in writing of such change by registered or

insure be suspended or revoked, all past, present, and existing obligation and
liabilities of the Principal incurred as a self-insurer shall remain in effect
until satisfied and shall be covered by this surety bond.

          In the event that the Commissioner
makes claim upon the Surety under this surety bond as a result of the
Principal's failure to meet the Principal's obligations and liabilities under
Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Surety shall remit
payment under the terms of this surety bond to the Commissioner as required by
North Carolina law, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written

Carolina law and any suits, actions, causes of actions or other legal
proceedings concerning the validity, terms or enforceability of this surety
bond may be brought only in the Superior Court of Wake County, North Carolina.
All parties hereto submit themselves to the jurisdiction of that court. If any
part or condition of the surety bond is declared unenforceable or held to be
invalid by a court of proper jurisdiction, such determination will not
affect the validity or enforceability of other parts or conditions of this
surety bond.

          The Principal and Surety acknowledge
and agree that no terms of this bond can be altered, changed, or amended
without written approval by the Commissioner.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Principal and
