                          written consent.

                  materially hamper negotiations with Client's present bill
                  processing vendor, Convergys and Client agree to issue two
                  mutually acceptable joint press releases announcing the
                  existence and nature of this Agreement, the first upon
                  execution of this Agreement and the second upon Commercial

                  the Convergys annual report, and (c) as otherwise required by
                  law. As soon as any impairment to Client's negotiations with

            loss or damage, other than ordinary wear and tear, to Client's
            equipment in Convergys' possession or control. In the event of any
            such loss or damage, Convergys will pay Client the amortized value
            of such equipment based on a three year depreciation. Client will be
            liable for all loss or damage, other than ordinary wear and tear, to
            Convergys' equipment in Client's possession or control. In the event

            value of such equipment based on a three year depreciation.

      11.2. Return of Equipment. Upon termination of this Agreement for any
            reason, Convergys will return all Client equipment to Client and
            Client will return all Convergys equipment to Convergys, within ten
            (10) days after the effective date of termination.

            Convergys' system, backup copies of data that is provided by Client
            as input to Services provided by Convergys.

13.0  SECURITY REPRESENTATION

      13.1. No Unauthorized Access. While the Services are being provided by
            Convergys to Client in Convergys' Data Center, Convergys shall use
            commercially reasonable efforts to secure the customer care and
            billing services environment, system operations and data against
            unauthorized access or disclosure and to protect against breaches of
            said security. Convergys shall use reliable, tested technology to
            perform its obligations under this Section 13.1. Protection shall
            consist of a combination of controls for the following:

            o     Integrity - protection against alteration of the System
                  software, applications, data, hardware configuration,
                  connectivity, and the state-of-privilege settings during
                  storage or transmission;

            o     Availability - protection against access of the System and
                  data by unauthorized persons; and,

            o     Confidentiality - protection against disclosure of information
                  to unauthorized persons.

      13.2. Security Audit. After providing 30 days prior notice to Convergys,

            normal business hours to ensure compliance with the foregoing
            security provisions no more frequently than once per year.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Client has a good faith belief
            that there may have been a material breach of the agreed security
            protections, Client shall meet with Convergys to discuss the
            perceived breach and attempt to resolve the matter as soon as
            reasonably possible. If the matter cannot be resolved within a
            thirty (30) day period, the parties may initiate an audit to be
            conducted and completed within thirty (30) days thereafter. A report
            of the audit findings shall be issued within such thirty (30) day
            period, or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Such audit shall be
            conducted by Convergys' auditors, or the successors to their role in
            the event of a corporate reorganization, at Convergys' cost. Client
            has the option, at Client's own cost, to engage an agreed upon
            independent auditor, to work in conjunction with Convergys'
            auditors. If the independent Third Party auditor recommends
            additional security measures after completion of the audit,
            Convergys and Client shall jointly determine how best to respond to
            such recommendation.

            ownership of all right, title and interest in and to any
            intellectual property it owned or had an interest in prior to the
            Effective Date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to all
            copyright, patent, trademark, service mark and trade secret rights,
            technical documents, technical data, documentation, and engineering
            materials (collectively, the "Pre-existing Intellectual Property").
            Unless expressly stated herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be
            deemed to imply a transfer of ownership of the Pre-existing
            Intellectual Property.

      15.2. Proprietary Materials. As used in this Agreement, "Proprietary
            Materials" means all products, devices, computer programs,
            techniques, know-how, algorithms, procedures, discoveries or
            inventions, whether patentable or copyrightable and whether reduced
            to practice, and all materials, texts, drawings, specifications,
            source code, object code, data and other recorded information, in
            preliminary or final form and on any media whatsoever, that are
            related to the software or System provided by Convergys or that are
            used to provide the Services, including any improvements, updates
            and modifications, developed, discovered, or made to the software or
            System during the term of or in anticipation of this Agreement,
            whether solely or jointly with others, and whether or not while
            Convergys is engaged in performing the Services.

      15.3. Ownership. Unless otherwise provided in a Work Order or other
            written agreement, as between Convergys and Client, Convergys will
            be the exclusive owner of all Proprietary Materials. Client hereby
            assigns and transfers to Convergys all right, title and interest
            that Client may now or hereafter have in the Proprietary Materials,
            subject to the limitations set forth in any Work Order or other
            written agreement between the parties.

      15.4. Further Acts. Client will take such action (including, but not
            limited to, the execution, acknowledgment, delivery and assistance
            in preparation of documents or the giving of testimony) as may be
            reasonably requested by Convergys to evidence, transfer, vest or
            confirm Convergys' right, title and interest in the Proprietary
            Materials.

      15.5. Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
            the contrary, this Section 15.0 will not obligate Client to assign
            or offer to assign to Convergys any of Client's rights in Client
            owned materials, and "Proprietary Materials" shall not be construed
            to include any materials prepared by Client even if those materials
            relate to the software or System. By way of example and not of
            limitation this would include such materials as training materials
            and guides for usage.

            permit reasonable access to such equipment by Convergys personnel

            the law, and the like.

      16.4. Provision of Information. Client shall provide timely, complete and
            accurate information, data, requirements or specifications that it

            obligations.

17.0  WARRANTIES

      17.1. Performance of Services. Convergys warrants that the Services
            provided hereunder will be provided in a professional and

            software or employees.

      17.2. Title. Convergys represents and warrants that Convergys owns all
            right, title and interest in or to, or possesses valid and binding
            licenses for use of, all software provided by Convergys without
            infringement of the proprietary rights of any other person arising
            from any U.S. patent, copyrights, or trademarks. Convergys does not
            warrant against infringement arising from the combination,
            operation, or use of its proprietary software with Third Party
            software or hardware not provided by Convergys if such infringement
            could have been avoided by the combination, operation, or use of the
            Convergys software with other software or systems. Client represents
            and warrants that Client owns the necessary right, title and
            interest in or to, or possesses valid and binding licenses for
            Client-provided software without infringement of the proprietary
            rights of any other person arising from any U.S. patent, copyright
            or trademark.

      17.3. No Default/Conflict. Convergys and Client each warrants that its
            signing, delivery and performance of this Agreement shall not
            constitute a violation of any judgment, order or decree or a
            material default under any material contract by which it or any of
            its material assets are bound. Convergys and Client each further
            warrants that the performance of this Agreement will not conflict
            with or be hindered by any obligation of Convergys or Client
            respectively under any other agreement, whether in effect as of the
            Effective Date or entered into thereafter.

      17.4. Authorization. Convergys and Client each warrants that (i) it has
            the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
            Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
            Agreement; and (ii) the signing, delivery and performance of this
            Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
            this Agreement have been duly authorized through requisite corporate
            action.

      17.5. Notice. If Client believes that any Services provided hereunder are
            not performed in accordance with the above warranty, Client shall
            give Convergys written notice detailing the deficiencies. Convergys
            shall thereafter have an opportunity, over a reasonable period of
            time, but not less than thirty (30) days from receipt of notice of
            delinquency, to satisfy such warranty claim.

      17.6. Remedy. Convergys agrees to re-run or correct, at its sole expense,
            any nonconforming Services that are due solely to errors,
            malfunctions or omissions on the part of Convergys, its equipment,
            software or employees or otherwise results from Convergys' failure
            to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Convergys shall not
            be responsible for any nonconforming Services caused by changes,
            misuse or negligence of Client or its authorized agents. Failure by
            Client to give notice of nonconforming Services within ninety (90)
            days after performance of such Services shall constitute final
            acceptance thereof.

      17.7. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN APPLICABLE
            WORK ORDERS, CONVERGYS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THE

            either party materially fails to perform or comply with this
            Agreement and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days (or
            such longer period as may be reasonably necessary, not to exceed
            sixty (60) days; provided such breaching party immediately commences
            such cure and diligently pursues completion) after written notice to
            correct such default is received from the other party; (ii) if
            either party becomes insolvent or admits in writing its inability to

25.0  INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE

      25.1. Convergys will indemnify, defend and hold Client (and Client's
            agents and employees) harmless from all claims, damages,
            liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including without
            limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting
            from any Third Party claim, action or other proceeding (including
            any proceeding by any of Convergys' employees, agents or
            contractors) that is based upon or relates to (a) the negligence or
            willful misconduct of Convergys or any party under direction or
            control of Convergys, (b) the damage, loss or destruction of any
            real property or tangible personal property of Client or injury or
            death to any persons resulting from the actions or inactions of any
            employee, agent or subcontractor of Convergys insofar as such damage
            arises out of or in the course of fulfilling its obligations under
            this Agreement and to the extent such damage is due to any
            negligence, breach of statutory duty, omission or default of
            Convergys, its employees, agents or subcontractors, or (c) the
            infringement or misappropriation of any U.S. patent, copyright or
            trademark by the software provided by Convergys pursuant to the
            Agreement, provided, however, Convergys will have no liability for
            claims of infringement arising from the combination, operation or
            use of the software or any portion of its software with Third Party
            software or hardware not provided by Convergys if such infringement
            could have been avoided by the combination, operation, or use of the
            software with other software or hardware. Convergys obligations
            under this Section 25.1 are contingent upon Client's prompt
            notification of any claim or potential claim for which it may seek
            indemnification and opportunity. Client shall provide Convergys with
            its opportunity to defend such claim and the information and
            assistance necessary to provide such defense.

      25.2. Client will indemnify, defend and hold Convergys (and Convergys'
            agents and employees) harmless from all claims, damages,
            liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including without
            limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting
            from any Third Party claim, action or other proceeding (including
            any proceeding by any of Client's employees, agents or contractors)
            that is based upon or relates to (a) the negligence or willful
            misconduct of Client or any party under direction or control of
            Client, (b) the damage, loss or destruction of any real property or
            tangible personal property of Convergys or injury or death to any
            persons resulting from the actions or inactions of any employee,
            agent or subcontractor of Client insofar as such damage arises out
            of or in the course of fulfilling its obligations under this
            Agreement and to the extent such damage is due to any negligence,
            breach of statutory duty, omission or default of Client, its
            employees, agents or subcontractors, or (c) the infringement or
            misappropriation of any U.S. patent, copyright or trademark by all
            or any portion of intellectual property provided by Client pursuant
            to the Agreement. Client's obligations under this Section 25.2 are
            contingent upon Convergys' prompt notification of any claim or
            potential claim for which it may seek indemnification. Convergys
            shall provide Client with the opportunity to defend against such
            claim and the information and assistance necessary to provide such
            defense. Convergys may, at its option and sole cost, participate in
            the defense in any such proceeding.

      25.3. Infringement remedies. If any Convergys software used to provide
            Services becomes, or in Convergys' reasonable opinion is likely to
            become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim or
            proceeding, Convergys shall, in addition to indemnifying Client as
            provided in Section 25.1, if commercially reasonable, promptly take
            the following actions at no charge to Client: (i) secure the right
            to continue using the software; or (ii) replace or modify the
            software to make it non-infringing, provided that any such
            replacement or modification will not materially degrade
            functionality, performance or quality of the affected software.

28.0  DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      28.1. Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure. The parties will attempt to
            settle any claim or controversy among them through consultation and
            negotiation in good faith and with a spirit of mutual cooperation.
            After attempts to resolve a dispute by the parties have failed, any
            party may, upon notice to the others, request that such controversy
            or claim be referred to the appropriate management personnel of each
            party for negotiation and resolution. If such a request is made, the
            applicable and appropriate management-level personnel of the parties
            shall meet in person or by telephone within seven (7) days after
            such request and shall review and attempt to negotiate a mutually
            acceptable resolution of the controversy or claim in dispute. Any
            resolution reached under this Section 28.0 will be reduced to
            writing and signed by the parties. Any dispute that cannot be
            resolved between the parties through the informal dispute shall then
            be submitted for final and binding arbitration as set forth in
            Section 28.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
            disputes involving either party's intellectual property rights and
            the parties shall not be required to comply with the provisions of
            this Section 28.0 with regards thereto.

      28.2. Arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted before one arbitrator in
            accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
            The arbitrator must be licensed to practice law in the United
            States. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Cincinnati, Ohio
            within thirty (30) calendar days of the appointment of the
            arbitrator. The arbitration rules and procedures of the American
            Arbitration Association shall govern the hearing procedure, provided
            that the Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of
            evidence at such hearing and provided that the arbitrator shall have
            no power to make an award in contradiction of the terms of the
            Agreement, including, but not limited to, the limitations of
            liability set forth herein. The laws of the state of Ohio, exclusive
            of its conflicts of law rules, shall govern the construction of this
            Agreement. The arbitrators shall have no power to alter or amend any
            of the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the
            power to award the prevailing party at the hearing all reasonable
            expenses of enforcing its rights under the Agreement, including,
            without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitrator's fees,
            and expenses. The arbitrator shall issue an award within seven (7)
            calendar days following the end of the hearing. Any award or
            decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all
            parties, and judgment on such award may be entered by either party
            in a court of competent jurisdiction.

      28.3. Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Section 28.0 is intended to
            restrict or limit either party's ability to apply to a court of
            competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief
            as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this
            Agreement or prevent any violation hereof at an interim or
            interlocutory stage.

            expiration of this Agreement, Convergys shall continue to provide
            the Services for a period of up to six months following the

            Termination Transition Period") at the rates set forth in this
            Agreement and on terms to be agreed upon by the parties as of the
            effective date of the termination or expiration. Client may elect,
            in its sole discretion, to terminate the Post Termination Transition
            Period at any time upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to
            Convergys, which notice shall include the date on which the Services
            shall be discontinued. In the event Convergys terminates this
            Agreement pursuant to Section 18.2 for Client's non-payment, Client
            agrees to pay to Convergys: (a) all outstanding amounts then due and
            owing by Client; and (b) monthly, in advance, for the services
            provided by Convergys during the Post Termination Transition Period.

30.0  ASSIGNMENT

      30.1. Consent to Assign. Neither party shall assign any right or
            obligation under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
            the other party. Any assignment without such written consent shall
            be void. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, either party may
            assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate upon
            notice, but without the consent of the other party, provided the
            assigning party is not released from this Agreement without the
            written consent of the other party. Further, either party may assign
            its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a company into
            which it may merge or consolidate or which acquires substantially
            all of its assets or stock, upon notice, but without the consent of
            the other party. Any authorized assignment under this Section 30.0
            shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their
            respective successors (whether by stock or asset transfer or any
            change of control by any other means), personal representatives and
            permitted assigns.

      30.2. Client Disposition. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing
            by Convergys, Client agrees that, in connection with any sale,
            transfer, assignment or other disposition of (I) all or
            substantially all of the assets of the Client, or (II) a majority of
            the stock of Client, whether in connection with a divestiture,
            spin-off, reorganization, business combination, recapitalization or
            similar corporate restructuring, or otherwise (a "Disposition"),
            unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 19.0, it
            will ensure that (i) the purchaser of the assets of Client or
            successor entity to Client reaffirms or assumes in writing the
            rights and obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the purchaser
            of the assets of Client or successor entity to Client has
            creditworthiness comparable to that of Client as of the Effective
            Date.

      30.3. Sale or Purchase of Market. Convergys shall not be required to
            accept performance from, or render performance to, any party other
            than Client. Provided, subject to the Minimum Processing Commitment
            in Section 5.0, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
            affecting the ability of Client to sell or exchange a Market.
            Similarly, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as affecting
            the ability of Client to purchase a Market and add such Market to
            this Agreement, and the Exclusivity provision of Section 4.1 shall
            be subject to a reasonable transition period.

31.0  FORCE MAJEURE

      Neither Convergys nor Client shall be held responsible for any delay or
      failure in performance hereunder caused by fires, strikes, embargoes,
      terrorist activities, government requirements, civil or military
      authorities, power failures, acts of God or by the public enemy, inability
      to secure raw materials or transportation facilities, labor disputes, acts
      or omissions of carriers, or other causes beyond the control of Convergys
      or Client. If such contingency occurs, the party injured by the other's
      inability to perform may elect to suspend such Services for the duration
      of the delaying cause, buy or sell elsewhere the items or Services to be
      bought or sold hereunder and on an interim basis and resume performance
      once the delaying cause ceases. The occurrence of a Force Majeure event
      does not excuse, limit or otherwise affect Client's obligation to pay for
      Services rendered.

      No licenses, express or implied, are granted to Client by Convergys
      hereunder, except that Convergys hereby grants Client a non-exclusive,

      provision to be enforceable under applicable law.

      provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing that
      specifically identifies this Agreement and the provision intended to be

              processed on a single instance of the System), and provisions
              related to volume commitments, minimums, limitations and fees

       41.2.  Joint Administration. Without limiting the generality of Section
              41.1, certain sections that appear in each of the Companion
              Agreements shall be treated as follows:

              o   MSA Section 5.0, Minimum Processing Commitment - shall be
                  determined on a combined basis.

              o   MSA Section 20.0, Limitation of Liability - shall be
                  determined on a combined basis.

              o   MSA Section 19.3, Termination Fees - *

              o   Work Order 2002-01 Section 6.1, Implementations Fee - is the
                  amount applicable to both Companion Agreements combined.

              o   Work Order 2002-01 Section 7.0, Payment Terms - is the amount
                  applicable to both Companion Agreements combined.

              o   Work Order 2002-02, Attachment A Section 1.1.1, Bill
                  Production Fees for Active Subscribers - the number of Active
                  Subscribers shall be determined on a combined basis.

              o   Work Order 2002-02, Attachment A Section 1.1.3, Minimum Data
                  Processing Commitment - the number of Active Subscribers shall
                  be determined on a combined basis.

                         MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

     This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (the "Agreement"), effective as of
June 18, 2002, by and between DOBSON CELLULAR SYSTEMS, INC. ("Dobson"), an
Oklahoma corporation, with its principal place of business at 14202 Wireless
Way, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73034 and CONVERGYS CORPORATION. ("Convergys"),
with an address of 201 E. Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, as Parties to
this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to Dobson and
Convergys shall also include the shareholders, owners, officers, employees,
attorneys and agents of Dobson and Convergys, individually and collectively.

     WHEREAS, each of Dobson and Convergys (or their respective subsidiaries)
has certain confidential or proprietary information (the "Information," as
further defined in Section 2 of the Agreement below) that is material to the
Project (as further defined in Section 1 of the Agreement) and which may be
beneficial to disclose.

     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valid consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to
be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1. Project Defined. In connection with the discussions, negotiations, and
considerations of Dobson and Convergys involving GSM/GPRS GSM billing (the
"Project"). Each Party (the "Recipient") may receive from the other Party (the
"Disclosing Party") information of a non-public nature for use by Recipient and
its officers, directors, agents, employees and representatives, including
financial and legal advisers (collectively, "Representatives"), in the course of
the negotiation and performance of the Project, if the parties hereto
subsequently execute an agreement.

     2. Information Defined. Recipient acknowledges that, in the course of
negotiation of and its performance under the agreement, if any, Recipient may
receive certain private and proprietary information from or about Disclosing
Party or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, technical, financial or
business information and models, names of customers or partners, proposed
business deals, reports, plans, market projections, software programs, customer
data, or any other private and proprietary information may include certain trade
secrets ("Information"). The term "Information" as used herein also includes:
(i) the fact that the Information has been made available to or is being
inspected or evaluated by Recipient; and (ii) any information, work papers,
analyses, compilations, projections, studies, documents, terms, conditions,
correspondence, facts, or other materials derived or produced by Recipient or
its representatives for Disclosing Party. Any information supplied by Disclosing
Party to Recipient prior to the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to
the same treatment as the Information made available after the execution of this
Agreement.

     3. Exclusions From Definitions. The term "Information" as used herein does
not include any data or information that: (a) is already known to Recipient at
the time it is disclosed to Recipient; or (b) is before being divulged by
Recipient: (i) has become generally known to the public through no wrongful act
of Recipient or its representatives; (ii) has been rightfully received by
Recipient from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a
breach of an obligation of confidentiality running directly or indirectly to
Disclosing Party; (iii) has been approved for release by a written authorization
by Disclosing Party; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without the
use, directly or indirectly, of the Information received from Disclosing Party.

     4. Non-Disclosure Obligation. Recipient shall keep the Information
confidential and shall not disclose such Information, in whole or in part, to
any person other than its Representatives who need to know such Information in
connection with Recipient's performance under the Agreement, except with prior
written consent of Disclosing Party or as otherwise permitted hereunder. Such
Representatives shall be informed by Recipient of the confidential nature of the
Information and shall be required by Recipient to agree in writing to be bound
by this Agreement. To the extent that such Representatives are employees of
Recipient who have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Recipient as a part of
their employment, which non-disclosure agreement generally requires them to
protect confidential information in the possession of Recipient, no additional
written non-disclosure agreement will be required hereunder. The information
shall be used by Recipient solely for the purpose of performing under the
Agreement, and shall not otherwise be used for Recipient's own benefit or for
any purpose detrimental to the interests of Disclosing Party.

     5. Standard of Protection. For the purpose of complying with the
obligations set forth herein, Recipient shall use efforts commensurate with
those that it employs for the protection of corresponding sensitive information
of its own, which shall in any event be no lesser a standard than the type of
efforts that would be taken by a reasonable business for the protection of its
own highly confidential information and trade secrets.

     6. Compliance with Legal Process. In the event that Recipient is legally
requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for
information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar
process or, in the opinion of counsel for Recipient, by federal or state
securities or other statutes, regulations, or laws) to disclose any Information,
Recipient shall promptly notify Disclosing Party of such request or requirement
prior to disclosure so that Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective
order and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

     7. Ownership; Return of Information. All information (including tangible
copies and computerized or electronic versions and summaries thereof) shall
remain the property of Disclosing Party. Within ten (10) days following the
receipt of a written request from Disclosing Party, Recipient shall deliver to
Disclosing Party all tangible materials containing or embodying the Information
received from Disclosing Party, together with a certificate executed by an
officer of Recipient certifying that all such materials in Recipient's
possession or control have been delivered to Disclosing Party or destroyed.
Recipient shall not assert directly or indirectly any right with respect to the
information which may impair or be adverse to Disclosing Party's ownership
thereof.

     8. Remedies for Breach. Recipient understands and agrees that money damages
would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that
Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief
to remedy or forestall any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedy shall
not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement, but
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity.

     9. No Representations or Further Obligations. Neither this Agreement nor
the disclosure of Information shall constitute or imply any promise or intention
to make any purchase of services by Disclosing Party. None of the Information
which may be disclosed by Disclosing Party shall constitute any representation,
warranty, assurance, guarantee, or inducement by Disclosing Party to Recipient
of any kind, and, in particular, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of
any Information or the non-infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights, mask
protection rights, or any other intellectual property rights, or other rights of
third persons. It is understood that this Agreement does not obligate Disclosing
Party to enter into any further agreements or to proceed with any possible
relationship or other transaction.

     10. Term; Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as to the exchange of
any new Information upon termination of any proposed agreement between the
Parties. Either party may terminate the exchange of Information under this
Agreement at any time by written notice to the other specifically referencing
this Agreement. In any event, however, the obligations of Recipient to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information it has received under this Agreement
shall continue for a period of three (3) years after such termination and then
terminate; provided, however, that such obligation shall continue indefinitely
as to Information constituting a trade secret under applicable law for so long
as such Information remains a trade secret.

     11. No Waiver. No failure or delay by Disclosing Party in exercising any
right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege
hereunder.

     12. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, supplemented, or amended
orally, but only by a writing signed by both Parties hereto.

     13. Applicability to Associated Parties. Any information disclosed to
Recipient by any of Disclosing Party's affiliated companies or by any company,
person or other entity participating with Disclosing Party in any consortium,
partnership, joint venture, or similar business combination which would
otherwise constitute Information hereunder if disclosed by Disclosing Party,
shall be deemed to constitute Information under this Agreement, and the rights
of Disclosing Party under this Agreement may be enforced by any such affiliate
or other entity in addition to Disclosing Party with respect to any violation
relating to the Information disclosed by such affiliate or other entity as if
such entity were also a party to this Agreement.

     14. Applicable Law. The validity, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard
to provisions concerning conflicts of law.

     15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be
deemed deleted from this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire
Agreement between Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and it replaces
all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements
between them, whether oral or written.

Agreement are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall
not be used in construing it.

be construed in favor of or against any party because its attorney drafted the
provision.

following:

     4.1  Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain insurance as follows:

          (a)  Liability Insurance. The Borrower, at its own cost and expense,
shall procure, maintain and carry in full force and effect general liability,
public liability and workers' compensation liability insurance with respect to
their actions and operations to such extent, in such amounts and with such
deductibles as are commonly carried by prudent businesses similarly situated,
but in any event not less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit per
occurrence, or the amount of coverage per person and per occurrence. The
Borrower, at its own cost and expense, shall procure, maintain and carry in full
force and effect property damage insurance in the amount of at least
$1,000,000.00. Without limiting the foregoing, such insurance shall (i) insure
against any liability for loss, injury, damage or claims caused by or arising
out of or in connection with the operation of Borrower's business including
injury to or death of the Borrower's employees, agents or any other persons and
damage to or destruction of public or private property, and (ii) the Authority
shall be listed on the policy as an additional insured.

          (b)  Physical Damage and Builders Risk Insurance. The Borrower, at its
own cost and expense, shall insure all of its properties to such extent, against
such hazards (including, without limitation, fire, theft, extended coverage,
vandalism and malicious mischief) in the amount of coverage and with such
deductibles as are commonly carried by prudent businesses similarly situated,
and in any event the amount of coverage with respect to the Property shall be
the full insurable value of the Property on the basis of replacement cost,
either without co-insurance requirements, or with coverage adequate to avoid
co-insurance penalty. The Borrower, or its contractors and subcontractors, shall
secure comprehensive builders risk insurance for the Property during the
construction of the Industrial Facility in an amount equal to the full insurable
value of the Property plus the improvements on the basis of replacement cost,
either without co-insurance requirements, or with coverage adequate to avoid
co-insurance penalty. In no event shall the amount of the insurance called for
by this Subsection 4.1(b) be less than $450,000.00 during any phase of the
construction of the Industrial Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, such
insurance shall contain a standard mortgagee endorsement in favor of the
Authority.

          (c)  Flood Insurance. The Borrower, at its own cost and expense, shall
insure the Property by a policy of flood insurance in the maximum amount
available if the Property is in an area which has been, or is at any time during
the term of this Loan Agreement, identified by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development (or a like successor agency) as having special flood or mud
slide hazards, and in which area the sale of flood insurance has been made
available under The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. Without limiting the
foregoing, such insurance shall (i) name the Authority as an additional insured,
and expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof shall operate in the

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

same manner as if there were a separate policy covering the Authority, and (ii)
provide for payment of the proceeds as provided in the Mortgage. If the Property
is not in the area identified as having special flood or mud slide hazards,
Borrower shall provide evidence of same in the form of an engineer's certificate
to the Authority and, upon so doing, shall be considered to have sufficiently
complied with this section.

          (d)  General Insurance Requirements.

               (i)    All insurance which the Borrower is required to maintain
shall be satisfactory to the Authority in form, amount and insurer. Such
insurance shall provide that any loss thereunder shall be payable
notwithstanding any action, inaction, breach of warranty or condition, breach of
declarations, misrepresentations or negligence of the Borrower. Each policy
shall contain an agreement by the insurer that, notwithstanding lapse of a
policy for any reason, or right of cancellation by the insurer or any
cancellation by the Borrower, such policy shall continue in full force for the
benefit of the Authority for at least thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof to the Authority, except that such notice shall be ten (10) days for
non-payment of premium, and no alteration in any such policy shall be made
except upon thirty (30) days written notice of such proposed alteration to the
Authority and written approval by the Authority. The Borrower shall provide the
Authority with certificates evidencing its due compliance with the requirements
of this Section 4.

               (ii)   Prior to the expiration date of any policy of insurance
maintained pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall provide the
Authority with a certificate of insurance evidencing the acquisition of a new
policy, or an extension or renewal of an existing policy, evidencing the
Borrower's due compliance with this Section.

               (iii) If the Borrower falls to acquire any policy of insurance to
renew or replace any such policy at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration
thereof, or fails to keep any such policy in full force and effect, the
Authority shall have the option, but not the obligation to pay the premiums on
any such policy of insurance or to take out new insurance in amount, type,
coverage and terms satisfactory to the Authority. Any amounts paid therefor by
the Authority shall be immediately due and payable to the Authority by the
Borrower upon demand. No exercise by the Authority of such option shall in any
way affect the provisions of this Loan Agreement, including the provision that
failure by the Borrower to maintain the prescribed insurance shall constitute an
Event of Default.

     4.2  Mergers, Sales, Transfers, Redemptions and Other Dispositions of
Assets or Dissolution. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of

and loss, and application of funds, prepared by Ernst & Young, LLP, or another
accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to the Authority.

or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance of
any nature whatsoever on any of the real property described in the Mortgage

them becomes in arrears, all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, levies
and any other claims (for example, for labor, materials, or supplies) which, if

Borrower's property, unless the Borrower is contesting the same in good faith
and has posted a bond protecting the same in such form and amount and with such
parties as may be approved by the Authority, or in lieu of the bond, having paid
the amount in question prior to contesting the claim, thereby holding harmless
the Authority, county and the Commonwealth.

reimburse costs incurred in the acquisition of the Property from the Authority
and for no other purpose unless expressly approved, in writing, by the Authority
and by the DCCD.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation,
3102 Shawnee Drive, Winchester, Virginia, 22601 ("Borrower"), promises to pay to
the order of PERRY, HARLAN, LESLIE, BREATHITT REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL AUTHORITY,
INC. at its principal office at 917 Perry Park Road, Hazard, Kentucky, 41701
(the "Authority"), the principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($450,000.00) and, in the case of an Event of Default, with interest as
hereinafter provided until the entire principal balance of and all accrued
interest on this Note has been paid in full.

     This Note shall be forgiveable so long as the Borrower shall faithfully
perform its obligations pursuant to a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") of
even date herewith by and among the Authority and the Borrower which requires
Borrower to construct an Industrial Facility on certain Property known as Lot #
105 of the Coalfields Industrial Park in Perry County, Kentucky. Any terms
defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
same meaning herein as in the Loan Agreement. Upon the Borrower's completion of
the Industrial Facility and its receipt and tender to the Authority of a bona
fide Certificate of Occupancy from each governmental authority having
jurisdiction thereof, the Loan shall be deemed satisfied and paid in full.
However, unless earlier paid in full or otherwise satisfied through Borrower's
performance, and provided the same has not been previously accelerated by the
Authority due to default by the Borrower, this Note shall become due and
payable, together with all accrued interest, if any, at the offices of the
Authority in Hazard, Kentucky on December 31, 2004.

     The Authority and the Borrower acknowledge that this Loan is intended to be
a NONINTEREST BEARING NOTE so long as the Borrower shall faithfully comply with
its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default by the Borrower, interest shall commence to accrue at the
annual rate of TWO PERCENT (2.00%) on the principal amount of the Loan from the
time of said Event of Default until the Loan has been finally collected or has
been fully repaid.

     The occurrence of an "Event of Default" (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
shall constitute a default under this Note. Upon any Event of Default, the
principal of this Note shall commence to accrue interest at the annual rate of
TWO PERCENT (2.00%). The holder of this Note may also, at its option, declare
the entire unpaid balance of, and all accrued interest on, this Note to be
immediately due and payable.

     This Note is secured by a mortgage ("Mortgage") on certain Property more
particularly described therein. The holder of this Note is entitled to the
rights and security in such Mortgage, more fully described therein and in the
Loan Agreement. The holder hereof assents to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement.

     Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Note or of the
Loan Agreement, or of any of such holder's fights and remedies, nor shall it

<PAGE>

prevent the holder from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the
subsequent happening of the same or similar occurrences. All remedies of the
holder hereof shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time
shall be of the essence in the payment of all payments of interest and principal
on this Note.

     If there is any default under this Note, and this Note is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection, or is collected through any court,
including any bankruptcy court, the Borrower promises to pay to the order of the
holder hereof such holder's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred
in collecting or attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this
Note or enforcing the holder's rights with respect to any collateral securing
this Note, to the extent allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, or
any state in which any collateral for this Note is situated and to the extent
such fees and costs are actually paid or agreed to be paid by the holder of this
Note, except such fees as are paid to a salaried employee of the holder of this
Note.

     This Note has been delivered in, and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

     Except as provided herein, the Borrower of this Note waives presentment,
demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or
nonacceptance and any other notice and all due diligence or promptness that may
otherwise be required by law, and all exemptions to which the Borrower now or
hereafter may be entitled under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, or of
the United States of America or any state thereof. The holder of this Note may,
with or without notice to any party, and without affecting the obligations of
any maker, surety, guarantor, endorser, accommodation party or any other party
to this Note, and without limitation, (1) extend the time for payment of either
principal or interest from time to time, (2) release or discharge any one or
more parties liable on this Note, (3) suspend the right to enforce this Note
with respect to any persons, (4) change, exchange or release any property in
which the Authority has any interest securing this Note, and (5) suspend the
right to enforce against any such collateral.

generated, manufactured, stored or disposed of on, under or about the Property,
except in full compliance with any applicable laws, and the Property is not in
violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating
to industrial hygiene or the environmental conditions on, under or about the
Property, including, without limitation, soil and groundwater conditions, as
more particularly set forth in the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are
incorporated herein by reference.

     5. That Mortgagor: (a) will maintain the Property in good condition and
repair; Co) will not commit or suffer waste thereof; (c) will comply with all
laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting
the Property, and will not suffer or permit any violation thereof; and (d) will
not remove, demolish or alter the design or structural character of any building
now or hereafter erected on the Property unless Mortgagee shall first consent
thereto in writing.

     6. If Mortgagor falls to maintain the insurance provided for herein or to
keep the policy or policies therefor deposited with Mortgagee, or to pay the
cost thereof, or to pay taxes and assessments, or to promptly make repairs and
replacements, then Mortgagee may, at its option, procure and pay for such
insurance, pay such taxes or assessments, or cause such repairs or replacements
to be effected, and the money so advanced by Mortgagee, with interest thereon at

<PAGE>

the maximum legal rate of interest, payable monthly, shall be paid by Mortgagor
to Mortgagee on demand, and such advances shall be secured by this Mortgage and
the lien therefor shall be deemed equal in dignity to the lien securing the
other indebtedness hereby secured.

     7. If Mortgagor fails: (a) to construct the Industrial Facility as provided
in the Loan Agreement or to pay the principal or interest, if any, provided for
in the Note when the same shall be due, thereby constituting an Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement; or (b) to pay taxes or assessments when due; or (c) to
keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured
against loss or damage as provided herein or to pay the premiums for such
insurance when they become due; or (d) to keep the Property in good condition
and repair; or (e) to keep or perform any covenant or stipulation of this
Mortgage; or (If) if proceedings are instituted involving title to the Property
or any part thereof, including the foreclosure of any mortgage or any other lien
against the Property; or (g) if Mortgagor is adjudged bankrupt in either
voluntary or involuntary proceedings; then in any of such case, Mortgagee may
declare the whole indebtedness secured hereby to be at once due and payable, and
forthwith proceed to collect the same and to enforce this Mortgage by suit or
otherwise; and in any of such cases Mortgagee may enter on the Property, collect
the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and after paying all expenses of such
conditions, and a reasonable compensation for itself, apply the money collected
to the satisfaction of the indebtedness hereby secured. In any of such events of
default herein mentioned, Mortgagee may, at its option, apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Property to
manage the same and to collect the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and
after deducting the costs and expenses of such receivership and a reasonable
compensation for the receiver's services, apply the remainder of such rent,
issues and profits so received to the satisfaction of the indebtedness hereby
secured. It is further agreed that the grounds for the appointment of a receiver
herein set out shall be in addition to and not in limitation of the statutory
remedy of receivership and may be invoked either in aid of or without proceeding
for the foreclosure and sale of the Property. Mortgagor agrees to pay for the
foreclosure and sale of the Property. Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee
reasonable attorney fees incurred by Mortgagee in the event of a default
hereunder to the extent such fees are actually paid or agreed to be paid by
Mortgagee, except such fees as are paid by Mortgagee to a salaried employee of
Mortgagee. This Mortgage shall secure payment to Mortgagee by Mortgagor of such
fees.

     8. No delay by Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law, shall operate as a waiver thereof, or
preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance of any default hereunder.
An express waiver of any obligation of Mortgagor shall not at any time
thereafter be held to be a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this
Mortgage except as specified in the express waiver, and that only for the time
and to the extent stated in the express waiver.

     9. With respect to all or any part of the Property, or any legal or
equitable interest therein, the Mortgagor, or any successor in interest to the
Mortgagor, shall not (i) sell, (ii) convey, (iii) transfer, (iv) lease for more
than one year, except as specifically permitted in the Loan Agreement, (v) lease
with option to purchase, or (vi) enter into a contract for deed or bond for deed
(all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as "Transfer" or
"Transferred") without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Such consent may
be conditioned on such modifications of this Mortgage and the indebtedness which
it secures as Mortgagee may deem necessary at the time of such consent,

<PAGE>

including, without limitation, changing the interest rate applicable to said
loan for the remaining term of the loan, and the proposed purchaser or
transferee of the Property meeting the then existing standards of credit and
financial responsibility required of Mortgagor by Mortgagee. If the Property is
Transferred with written consent of Mortgagee, the purchaser or transferee shall
assume the balance then owing on the indebtedness and all of the obligations
relating thereto (including any modifications that may be conditions for
Mortgagee's consent to the Transfer) and shall pay to Mortgagee such transfer
fee as is required by Mortgagee at the time of the Transfer. The Mortgagee may
declare the entire debt secured hereby immediately due and payable and enforce
this Mortgage, without notice to Mortgagor, in the event the Property is
Transferred without the written consent of Mortgagee or the purchaser declines
to assume the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage as herein provided. If title
to the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein is Transferred with
or without Mortgagee's written consent, such Transfer shall not operate to
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Mortgagor
or any subsequent persons who become obligated by reason of the assumption of
the debt secured, either in whole or in part.

     10. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any subsequent persons
who may become obligated (except any person expressly released in writing) to
pay any indebtedness secured hereby or to perform any obligation contained
herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any
security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at the time and from
time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without
notice or consent: (i) release any person liable for payment of all or any part
of the indebtedness or for performance of any obligations; (ii) make any
agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all
or any part of the indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation, or
subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge thereof;
(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have;
(iv) accept additional security of any kind; and (v) release or otherwise deal
with any property, real or personal, securing the indebtedness, including all or
any part of the Property mortgaged hereby.

     11. As further security for payment of the indebtedness and performance of
the obligations, covenants and agreements secured hereby, Mortgagor hereby
transfers, sets over and assigns to Mortgagee all judgments, awards of damages
and settlements hereafter made as a result of or in lieu of any taking of the
Property or any part thereof under the power of eminent domain, or for any
damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to the Property or the
improvements thereon or any part thereof, including any award for change of
grade of streets. Mortgagee may apply all such sums or any part thereof so
received on the indebtedness secured hereby in such manner as it elects or, at
its option, the entire amount or any part thereof so received may be released.

     12. In the event of the enactment of or change in (including, without
limitation, a change in interpretation of) any applicable law subjecting
Mortgagee to any tax or changing the basis of taxation of mortgages, Deeds of
Trust, or other liens or debts secured thereby, or the manner of collection of
such taxes, in each such case, so as to affect this Mortgage, the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note or Mortgage, and the result is to increase the taxes
imposed upon or the cost to Mortgagee of maintaining the indebtedness, or to
reduce the amount of any payments receivable hereunder, then, and any such
event, Mortgagor shall, on demand, pay to Mortgagee additional amounts to
compensate for such increased costs or reduced amounts, provided that if any

<PAGE>

such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful or would constitute usury or
render the indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, then
Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the indebtedness immediately due and
payable or require Mortgagor to pay or reimburse Mortgagee for payment of the
lawful and non-usurious portion thereof.

     13. Mortgagor shall assign to Mortgagee any and all present and/or future
leases of all or any part of the Property should Mortgagee, at its sole option,
request such assignment or assignments.

     14. Mortgagor agrees that no additional mortgage, lien or equity position
other than those set forth hereinabove shall be placed or allowed to exist on
the Property without the prior written approval of Mortgagee, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     15. This Mortgage is made to secure a loan for the purpose of erecting or
adding to a building and otherwise improving real property.

     16. Anything in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this loan is made pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by
reference. Any Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement shall
constitute a default under this Mortgage and shall entitle Mortgagee to all the
rights and remedies set forth herein. If a conflict should arise between the
provisions of this Mortgage and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Loan
Agreement shall prevail.

     17. Any agreement hereafter made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee pursuant to
this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening
lien or encumbrance.

     18. This Mortgage shall secure all renewal notes executed in lien of the
Note and also any extensions of the Note.

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Mortgagor faithfully performs its obligations
under the terms of the Loan Agreement or otherwise pays in full the indebtedness
secured hereby and performs all the covenants and stipulations hereof, Mortgagee
shall immediately release this Mortgage on the request of and at the cost of
Mortgagor, and this Mortgage shall be null and void.

     The covenants herein contained shall bind, and the benefits and advantages
shall inure to, the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns of the parties hereto, and wherever used, the singular number shall
include the plural, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.

     Re:  $450,000.00 Loan from the Perry-Harlan-Leslie-Breathitt Regional
          Industrial Authority ("Authority) to American Woodmark Corporation, in
          accordance with that certain Multi-County Local Government Development
          Fund ("LGEDF") Grant

Dear Chairman Harris:

     We have acted as special Virginia counsel for American Woodmark Corporation
(the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, in connection with the $450,000.00 loan
from the Authority to the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the LGEDF Grant. In delivering the opinions set forth herein, we have
examined originals (or copies thereof, certified to our satisfaction) of such
organizational documents of the Company and other documents, records, papers,
certificates and public records as we have deemed relevant and necessary in
order to express the opinions set forth herein. In addition, we have relied on
the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Loan
Documents (as hereinafter defined).

     In delivering the opinions set forth herein, we have also reviewed the
following documents and instruments executed by the Company in connection with
the Loan and the Grant, (collectively, the "Loan Documents"):

     1.   That certain Grant Agreement by and among KEDFA, the Authority and the
          Company dated as of         ,2002;

     2.   That certain Loan Agreement between the Company and the Authority
          dated          , 2002; and

     3.   That certain Promissory Note executed by the Company dated ., 2002.

     In the course of our examination of the documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, other than the signatures of the officials of the
Company, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

     1. The Company is a validly existing Virginia corporation;

     2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the
Loan Documents, and to observe and perform the provisions of the Loan Documents;

     3. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Company and the
performance and/or observance thereby of the provisions of the Loan Documents,
does not and will not (i) violate any Virginia law, statute, court, decision,
rule, order or regulation applicable to the Company or (ii) to our knowledge,
constitute a default or a violation under, result in the imposition of any lien
under, or conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the provisions of,
any existing material contract or other material obligation binding upon the
Company and known to us;

     4. The officers of the Company who executed the Loan Documents are duly
authorized to execute and deliver the Loan Documents on behalf of the Company,
and the Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms and conditions, (a) except as enforcement thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium, arrangement or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally (including,
without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent
transfers or preferential transfers or distributions), (b) except as enforcement
thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and the effect of
judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions are unenforceable
where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing or would be commercially unreasonable, and (c) except that we
express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of (i) any provision providing for the payment of fees or the
payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses for claims, losses or liabilities
in excess of a reasonable amount determined by a court or other tribunal, (ii)
any broadly stated waivers, including, without limitation, waivers of
presentment, demand, protest or notice, any waivers that are found by a court to
be against public policy or any waivers that are ineffective pursuant to
statutes and judicial decisions, or (iii) any provision that requires or relates
to the payment of interest at a rate or in an amount, after the maturity or

                                       -2-

after or upon acceleration of the liabilities evidenced thereby, or after or
during the continuation of any default, unmatured default or other circumstance,
that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be
commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture; and

     5. To our knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding involving the
Company pending or threatened in any Virginia court or administrative agency,
the outcome of which could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations under the Loan
Documents.

     We are licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia and do not
purport to express any opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the Commonwealth of Virginia. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents
are governed by the laws of the State of Kentucky, we have, with your
permission, assumed that such laws conform to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.

     When reference is made in the opinion expressed herein to "knowledge" or to
what is "known to us," or a similar phrase, it means the current actual
knowledge attributable to our representation of the Company in connection with
the Loan Documents of only those partners and associates who have had a
significant involvement with negotiation or preparation of this letter. However,
except as otherwise indicated, we have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the accuracy of any factual information of statements
referred to in the preceding paragraph, and no inference that we have any
knowledge of any matters pertaining to such information or statements should be
drawn from our representation of the Company.

     No one other than you shall be entitled to rely on the opinions expressed
herein. This opinion is not intended to be used in any transaction other than
the one described above. This opinion is being delivered to you with the
understanding that neither it nor its contents may be published, communicated or
otherwise made available, in whole or in part, to any other person or entity
without, in each instance, our specific prior written consent.

Sincerely yours,

provisions and obligations, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The Note bears a final maturity date of December 31, 2004.

     This Mortgage is delivered pursuant to a loan agreement (the "Loan
Agreement") of even date herewith by and among the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee
which requires Mortgagor to construct an Industrial Facility on certain Property
known as Lot # 105 of the Coalfields Industrial Park in Perry County, Kentucky.
Any terms defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the same meaning herein as in the Loan Agreement.

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

     Mortgagor covenants lawful seisin of the Property, full right and power to
mortgage and convey the same, and that the same is free from all liens and
encumbrances except (i) this first mortgage in favor of the Authority; (ii)
restrictions and stipulations of record as to use, improvement and occupancy of
the Property; (iii) governmental laws and regulations affecting the Property;
and, (iv) liens for real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable.
Mortgagor further covenants that it has good and marketable title to the same
and that this Mortgage is and shall be a valid first lien against the Property.

     Mortgagor, in order to more fully protect the security of this Mortgage,
covenants and agrees as follows:

     1. To pay the Note and interest thereon when due.

     2. To pay, when due, all taxes and assessments of every type and nature
levied or assessed against the Property or any interest therein or any part
thereof, and any claim, lien or encumbrance against the Property which may be or
become prior to the lien of this Mortgage, and if requested by Mortgagee, to
deliver or exhibit receipts therefor to Mortgagee at least fifteen (15) days
before the same shall become delinquent.

     3. To keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the
Property insured according to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In
the event of loss, Mortgagor shall give immediate notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may make proof of loss if
not made promptly by Mortgagor; and the insurance proceeds, or any part thereof,
shall be applied to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor as provided in the Loan
Agreement. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of
title to the Property in extinguishment of the debt secured hereby, all right,
title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force
shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

     4. Mortgagor represents and warrants that no Hazardous Materials exist on,
under or about the Property or, to the best of Mortgagor's knowledge after
diligent inquiry, have been transported to or from the Property or used,
generated, manufactured, stored or disposed of on, under or about the Property,
except in full compliance with any applicable laws, and the Property is not in
violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating
to industrial hygiene or the environmental conditions on, under or about the
Property, including, without limitation, soil and groundwater conditions, as
more particularly set forth in the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are
incorporated herein by reference.

     5. That Mortgagor: (a) will maintain the Property in good condition and
repair; Co) will not commit or suffer waste thereof; (c) will comply with all
laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting
the Property, and will not suffer or permit any violation thereof; and (d) will
not remove, demolish or alter the design or structural character of any building
now or hereafter erected on the Property unless Mortgagee shall first consent
thereto in writing.

     6. If Mortgagor falls to maintain the insurance provided for herein or to
keep the policy or policies therefor deposited with Mortgagee, or to pay the
cost thereof, or to pay taxes and assessments, or to promptly make repairs and
replacements, then Mortgagee may, at its option, procure and pay for such
insurance, pay such taxes or assessments, or cause such repairs or replacements
to be effected, and the money so advanced by Mortgagee, with interest thereon at

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

the maximum legal rate of interest, payable monthly, shall be paid by Mortgagor
to Mortgagee on demand, and such advances shall be secured by this Mortgage and
the lien therefor shall be deemed equal in dignity to the lien securing the
other indebtedness hereby secured.

     7. If Mortgagor fails: (a) to construct the Industrial Facility as provided
in the Loan Agreement or to pay the principal or interest, if any, provided for
in the Note when the same shall be due, thereby constituting an Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement; or (b) to pay taxes or assessments when due; or (c) to
keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured
against loss or damage as provided herein or to pay the premiums for such
insurance when they become due; or (d) to keep the Property in good condition
and repair; or (e) to keep or perform any covenant or stipulation of this
Mortgage; or (If) if proceedings are instituted involving title to the Property
or any part thereof, including the foreclosure of any mortgage or any other lien
against the Property; or (g) if Mortgagor is adjudged bankrupt in either
voluntary or involuntary proceedings; then in any of such case, Mortgagee may
declare the whole indebtedness secured hereby to be at once due and payable, and
forthwith proceed to collect the same and to enforce this Mortgage by suit or
otherwise; and in any of such cases Mortgagee may enter on the Property, collect
the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and after paying all expenses of such
conditions, and a reasonable compensation for itself, apply the money collected
to the satisfaction of the indebtedness hereby secured. In any of such events of
default herein mentioned, Mortgagee may, at its option, apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Property to
manage the same and to collect the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and
after deducting the costs and expenses of such receivership and a reasonable
compensation for the receiver's services, apply the remainder of such rent,
issues and profits so received to the satisfaction of the indebtedness hereby
secured. It is further agreed that the grounds for the appointment of a receiver
herein set out shall be in addition to and not in limitation of the statutory
remedy of receivership and may be invoked either in aid of or without proceeding
for the foreclosure and sale of the Property. Mortgagor agrees to pay for the
foreclosure and sale of the Property. Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee
reasonable attorney fees incurred by Mortgagee in the event of a default
hereunder to the extent such fees are actually paid or agreed to be paid by
Mortgagee, except such fees as are paid by Mortgagee to a salaried employee of
Mortgagee. This Mortgage shall secure payment to Mortgagee by Mortgagor of such
fees.

     8. No delay by Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law, shall operate as a waiver thereof, or
preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance of any default hereunder.
An express waiver of any obligation of Mortgagor shall not at any time
thereafter be held to be a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this
Mortgage except as specified in the express waiver, and that only for the time
and to the extent stated in the express waiver.

     9. With respect to all or any part of the Property, or any legal or
equitable interest therein, the Mortgagor, or any successor in interest to the
Mortgagor, shall not (i) sell, (ii) convey, (iii) transfer, (iv) lease for more
than one year, except as specifically permitted in the Loan Agreement, (v) lease
with option to purchase, or (vi) enter into a contract for deed or bond for deed
(all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as "Transfer" or
"Transferred") without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Such consent may
be conditioned on such modifications of this Mortgage and the indebtedness which
it secures as Mortgagee may deem necessary at the time of such consent,

                                      -14-

financial responsibility required of Mortgagor by Mortgagee. If the Property is
Transferred with written consent of Mortgagee, the purchaser or transferee shall
assume the balance then owing on the indebtedness and all of the obligations
relating thereto (including any modifications that may be conditions for
Mortgagee's consent to the Transfer) and shall pay to Mortgagee such transfer
fee as is required by Mortgagee at the time of the Transfer. The Mortgagee may
declare the entire debt secured hereby immediately due and payable and enforce
this Mortgage, without notice to Mortgagor, in the event the Property is
Transferred without the written consent of Mortgagee or the purchaser declines
to assume the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage as herein provided. If title
to the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein is Transferred with
or without Mortgagee's written consent, such Transfer shall not operate to
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Mortgagor
or any subsequent persons who become obligated by reason of the assumption of
the debt secured, either in whole or in part.

     10. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any subsequent persons
who may become obligated (except any person expressly released in writing) to
pay any indebtedness secured hereby or to perform any obligation contained
herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any
security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at the time and from
time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without
notice or consent: (i) release any person liable for payment of all or any part
of the indebtedness or for performance of any obligations; (ii) make any
agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all
or any part of the indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation, or
subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge thereof;
(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have;
(iv) accept additional security of any kind; and (v) release or otherwise deal
with any property, real or personal, securing the indebtedness, including all or
any part of the Property mortgaged hereby.

     11. As further security for payment of the indebtedness and performance of
the obligations, covenants and agreements secured hereby, Mortgagor hereby
transfers, sets over and assigns to Mortgagee all judgments, awards of damages
and settlements hereafter made as a result of or in lieu of any taking of the
Property or any part thereof under the power of eminent domain, or for any
damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to the Property or the
improvements thereon or any part thereof, including any award for change of
grade of streets. Mortgagee may apply all such sums or any part thereof so
received on the indebtedness secured hereby in such manner as it elects or, at
its option, the entire amount or any part thereof so received may be released.

     12. In the event of the enactment of or change in (including, without
limitation, a change in interpretation of) any applicable law subjecting
Mortgagee to any tax or changing the basis of taxation of mortgages, Deeds of
Trust, or other liens or debts secured thereby, or the manner of collection of
such taxes, in each such case, so as to affect this Mortgage, the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note or Mortgage, and the result is to increase the taxes
imposed upon or the cost to Mortgagee of maintaining the indebtedness, or to
reduce the amount of any payments receivable hereunder, then, and any such
event, Mortgagor shall, on demand, pay to Mortgagee additional amounts to
compensate for such increased costs or reduced amounts, provided that if any

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful or would constitute usury or
render the indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, then
Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the indebtedness immediately due and
payable or require Mortgagor to pay or reimburse Mortgagee for payment of the
lawful and non-usurious portion thereof.

     13. Mortgagor shall assign to Mortgagee any and all present and/or future
leases of all or any part of the Property should Mortgagee, at its sole option,
request such assignment or assignments.

     14. Mortgagor agrees that no additional mortgage, lien or equity position
other than those set forth hereinabove shall be placed or allowed to exist on
the Property without the prior written approval of Mortgagee, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     15. This Mortgage is made to secure a loan for the purpose of erecting or
adding to a building and otherwise improving real property.

     16. Anything in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this loan is made pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by
reference. Any Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement shall
constitute a default under this Mortgage and shall entitle Mortgagee to all the
rights and remedies set forth herein. If a conflict should arise between the
provisions of this Mortgage and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Loan
Agreement shall prevail.

     17. Any agreement hereafter made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee pursuant to
this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening
lien or encumbrance.

     18. This Mortgage shall secure all renewal notes executed in lien of the
Note and also any extensions of the Note.

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Mortgagor faithfully performs its obligations
under the terms of the Loan Agreement or otherwise pays in full the indebtedness
secured hereby and performs all the covenants and stipulations hereof, Mortgagee
shall immediately release this Mortgage on the request of and at the cost of
Mortgagor, and this Mortgage shall be null and void.

     The covenants herein contained shall bind, and the benefits and advantages
shall inure to, the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns of the parties hereto, and wherever used, the singular number shall
include the plural, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation,
3102 Shawnee Drive, Winchester, Virginia, 22601 ("Borrower"), promises to pay to
the order of PERRY, HARLAN, LESLIE, BREATHITT REGIONAL INDUSTRIAL AUTHORITY,
INC. at its principal office at 917 Perry Park Road, Hazard, Kentucky, 41701
(the "Authority"), the principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($450,000.00) and, in the case of an Event of Default, with interest as
hereinafter provided until the entire principal balance of and all accrued
interest on this Note has been paid in full.

     This Note shall be forgiveable so long as the Borrower shall faithfully
perform its obligations pursuant to a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") of
even date herewith by and among the Authority and the Borrower which requires
Borrower to construct an Industrial Facility on certain Property known as Lot #
105 of the Coalfields Industrial Park in Perry County, Kentucky. Any terms
defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
same meaning herein as in the Loan Agreement. Upon the Borrower's completion of
the Industrial Facility and its receipt and tender to the Authority of a bona
fide Certificate of Occupancy from each governmental authority having
jurisdiction thereof, the Loan shall be deemed satisfied and paid in full.
However, unless earlier paid in full or otherwise satisfied through Borrower's
performance, and provided the same has not been previously accelerated by the
Authority due to default by the Borrower, this Note shall become due and
payable, together with all accrued interest, if any, at the offices of the
Authority in Hazard, Kentucky on December 31, 2004.

     The Authority and the Borrower acknowledge that this Loan is intended to be
a NONINTEREST BEARING NOTE so long as the Borrower shall faithfully comply with
its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default by the Borrower, interest shall commence to accrue at the
annual rate of TWO PERCENT (2.00%) on the principal amount of the Loan from the
time of said Event of Default until the Loan has been finally collected or has
been fully repaid.

     The occurrence of an "Event of Default" (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
shall constitute a default under this Note. Upon any Event of Default, the
principal of this Note shall commence to accrue interest at the annual rate of
TWO PERCENT (2.00%). The holder of this Note may also, at its option, declare
the entire unpaid balance of, and all accrued interest on, this Note to be
immediately due and payable.

     This Note is secured by a mortgage ("Mortgage") on certain Property more
particularly described therein. The holder of this Note is entitled to the
rights and security in such Mortgage, more fully described therein and in the
Loan Agreement. The holder hereof assents to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement.

     Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Note or of the
Loan Agreement, or of any of such holder's fights and remedies, nor shall it

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

prevent the holder from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the
subsequent happening of the same or similar occurrences. All remedies of the
holder hereof shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time
shall be of the essence in the payment of all payments of interest and principal
on this Note.

     If there is any default under this Note, and this Note is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection, or is collected through any court,
including any bankruptcy court, the Borrower promises to pay to the order of the
holder hereof such holder's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred
in collecting or attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this
Note or enforcing the holder's rights with respect to any collateral securing
this Note, to the extent allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, or
any state in which any collateral for this Note is situated and to the extent
such fees and costs are actually paid or agreed to be paid by the holder of this
Note, except such fees as are paid to a salaried employee of the holder of this
Note.

     This Note has been delivered in, and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

     Except as provided herein, the Borrower of this Note waives presentment,
demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or
nonacceptance and any other notice and all due diligence or promptness that may
otherwise be required by law, and all exemptions to which the Borrower now or
hereafter may be entitled under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, or of
the United States of America or any state thereof. The holder of this Note may,
with or without notice to any party, and without affecting the obligations of
any maker, surety, guarantor, endorser, accommodation party or any other party
to this Note, and without limitation, (1) extend the time for payment of either
principal or interest from time to time, (2) release or discharge any one or
more parties liable on this Note, (3) suspend the right to enforce this Note
with respect to any persons, (4) change, exchange or release any property in
which the Authority has any interest securing this Note, and (5) suspend the
right to enforce against any such collateral.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this Note on the day and year
first above written.

Re: $450,000.00 Loan from the Perry-Harlan-Leslie-Breathitt Regional Industrial
Authority ("Authority") to American Woodmark Corporation, in accordance with
that certain Multi-County Local Government Development Fund ("LGEDF") Grant

Dear Chairman Harris:

     We have acted as special Virginia counsel for American Woodmark Corporation
(the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, in connection with the $450,000.00 loan
from the Authority to the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the LGEDF Grant. In delivering the opinions set forth herein, we have
examined originals (or copies thereof, certified to our satisfaction) of such
organizational documents of the Company and other documents, records, papers,
certificates and public records as we have deemed relevant and necessary in
order to express the opinions set forth herein. In addition, we have relied on
the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Loan
Documents (as hereinafter defined).

     In delivering the opinions set forth herein, we have also reviewed the
following documents and instruments executed by the Company in connection with
the Loan and the Grant (collectively, the "Loan Documents"):

     1. That certain Grant Agreement by and among Kentucky Economic Development
Finance Authority, the Authority and the Company dated as of February 13, 2002;

     2. That certain Loan Agreement between the Company and the Authority dated
March 1,2002; and

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Ed Harris, Chairman
Perry-Harlan-Leslie-Breathitt
Regional Industrial Authority, Inc.
March 6, 2002
Page 2, 2002

     3. That certain Promissory Note executed by the Company dated March 1,
2002.

     In the course of our examination of the documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, other than the signatures of the officials of the
Company, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

     1. The Company is a validly existing Virginia corporation;

     2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the
Loan Documents, and to observe and perform the provisions of the Loan Documents;

     3. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Company and the
performance and/or observance thereby of the provisions of the Loan Documents,
does not and will not (i) violate any Virginia law, statute, court, decision,
rule, order or regulation applicable to the Company or (ii) to our knowledge,
constitute a default or a violation under, result in the imposition of any lien
under, or conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the provisions of,
any existing material contract or other material obligation binding upon the
Company and known to us;

     4. The officers of the Company who executed the Loan Documents are duly
authorized to execute and deliver the Loan Documents on behalf of the Company,
and the Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms and conditions, (a) except as enforcement thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium, arrangement or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally (including,
without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent
transfers or preferential transfers or distributions), (b) except as enforcement
thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and the effect of
judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions are unenforceable
where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing or would be commercially unreasonable, and (c) except that we
express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of (i) any provision providing for the payment of fees or the
payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses for claims, losses or liabilities
in excess of a reasonable amount determined by a court or other tribunal, (ii)
any broadly stated waivers, including, without limitation, waivers of
presentment, demand, protest or

                                      -25-

notice, any waivers that are found by a court to be against public policy or any
waivers that are ineffective pursuant to statutes and judicial decisions, or
(iii) any provision that requires or relates to the payment of interest at a
rate or in an amount, after the maturity or after or upon acceleration of the
liabilities evidenced thereby, or after or during the continuation of any
default, unmatured default or other circumstance, that a court would determine
in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a
penalty or a forfeiture; and

     5. To our knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding involving the
Company pending or threatened in any Virginia court or administrative agency,
the outcome of which could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations under the Loan
Documents.

     We are licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia and do not
purport to express any opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the Commonwealth of Virginia. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents
are governed by the laws of the State of Kentucky, we have, with your
permission, assumed that such laws conform to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.

     When reference is made in the opinion expressed herein to "knowledge" or to
what is "known to us," or a similar phrase, it means the current actual
knowledge attributable to our representation of the Company in connection with
