Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit
Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder
until the Maturity Date.

      SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans.

      (a) Availability under this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the

hereof or the provisions of the Sweep Plus Service Program, the principal of the

      (d) Refunding.

            (i) Upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of
Default, Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the
Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected
as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders on the books and records of the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Commitment
Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans
outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender upon the
occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, but in no event
later than 2:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is
made. No Lender's obligation to fund its respective Commitment Percentage of a
Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to fund its
Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender's Commitment
Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to
fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan.

            (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the
amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders
are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or
required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with the
Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately
pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent
amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the
outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion
of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on
behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the
loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so
recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which
the Administrative Agent has received

                                       18

<PAGE>

notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 12.5 and which such Event of
Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as
applicable).

            (iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Article V. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if
prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.2, one of the events described in Section 11.1(i) or (j) shall have
occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan
would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the
Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of
the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately
transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of
its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to
such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of
receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the
Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender's participating
interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on
account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its
participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's
participating interest was outstanding and funded).

      SECTION 2.3 Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit and Swingline
Loans.

      (a) Requests for Borrowing. With the exception of Swingline Loans deemed

Notice of Borrowing.

      (b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on

available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Borrower, at the

available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of
the Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form of
Exhibit C (a "Notice of Account Designation") delivered by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 4.8, the
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the
proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 to
the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent
its Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for
the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as

shall repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Extensions of Credit in
the manner set forth in clause (iii) below.

            (ii) Dispositions. The Borrower shall prepay the Extensions of

clause (iii) below in amounts equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of the Borrower's or such
Subsidiary's business; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, no prepayments shall be required from the Net
Cash Proceeds of any such Disposition if those proceeds are reinvested (or the
Borrower or any Subsidiary shall have entered into a binding agreement to
reinvest such proceeds) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt
thereof in other assets to be used in the Borrower's business. For purposes of
the elimination of any doubt, the Disposition of any of the Borrower's lines of
business, assets of a particular line of business, or the ownership interests of
the Borrower with respect to a line of business shall be deemed to be
Dispositions outside of the ordinary course of the Borrower's business.
Prepayments required by this Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall be made within three (3)
Business Days after such prepayment becomes due and payable hereunder. Upon the
occurrence of any event triggering repayment under this Section 2.4(b)(ii), the

Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
so notify the Lenders.

Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.2(b). Each
such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant
to Section 4.10.

      (c) Optional Repayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to

repayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans or a
combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial

Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Aggregate Commitment, from time

outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as

the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Any
reduction of the

<PAGE>

from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall
have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, plus the
Swingline Commitment plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations would exceed
the Aggregate Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in
Dollars in a minimum amount of $250,000, (ii) be a standby letter of credit
issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii)
expire on a date satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, which date shall be no
later than the earlier of (a) one (1) year after the date of issuance or (b) the
fifth (5th) business day prior to the Maturity Date and (iv) be subject to the
Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Application or as determined
by the Issuing Lender, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws
of the State of North Carolina. The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be
obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would
conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any
limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to "issue" and
derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include
extensions or modifications of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the
context otherwise requires.

      SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may
from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent's Office an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender
shall process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers
and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly
issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing
Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business
Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by
issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as
otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing
Lender shall promptly furnish to the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit
and promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and, upon request by any Lender,
furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such
Lender's participation therein.

      SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges.

                                       23

      (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with
respect to each Letter of Credit for such period as the Letter of Credit is
outstanding in an amount equal to the product of (i) the face amount of such
Letter of Credit times (ii) an annual percentage equal to the Applicable Margin
with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in effect on the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date.

      (b) In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an issuance fee of
0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit for such period as
the Letter of Credit is outstanding, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date.

      (c) The Borrower shall also pay all normal costs and expenses of the
Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, transfer or other administration
of the Letters of Credit.

      (d) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all
commissions received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages.

      SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.

      (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to
each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of
Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase
and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage in
the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter
of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing
Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for
which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing
Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein
an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Commitment Percentage of the amount of
such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

      (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount
and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the
Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such
amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such
L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such
amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal
Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and
including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction

                                       24

<PAGE>

the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and
the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of
the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(b), if the L/C
Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m.
on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after
1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following
Business Day.

      (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Commitment
Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Issuing
Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly
from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof,
the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share
thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the
Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C
Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously
distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

      SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees
to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided
for in this Section or with funds from other sources) the Issuing Lender on each
date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of
a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid
and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the
Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made
to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful
money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be
payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this
Article III from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which
would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue. If
the Borrower fails to timely reimburse the Issuing Lender on the date the
Borrower receives the notice referred to in this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing hereunder to the
Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Loan on such
date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and, regardless of whether
or not the conditions precedent specified in Article V have been satisfied, the
Lenders shall make Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall
be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing
and costs and expenses. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to fund a Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing
Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever including, without
limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or
Article V. If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with
funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as
provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at
the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were
then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.

      SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this
Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall
be absolute and

                                       25

<PAGE>

unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had
against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other
Person. The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lender and the L/C
Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement
Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though
such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any
dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or
any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any
error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of
any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of
Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of
care specified in the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent
therewith, the UCC shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any
liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower. The
responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any
payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited
to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such
Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

      SECTION 3.7 Effect of Application. To the extent that any provision of any
Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions
of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

      SECTION 3.8 Letters of Credit Issued Pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that on
the Closing Date each letter of credit issued by Wachovia pursuant to the terms
of the Existing Credit Agreement shall, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3.2 to the contrary, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under and
pursuant to and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as if originally
issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                             GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

      SECTION 4.1 Interest.

      (a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1,
at the election of the Borrower, the aggregate principal balance of (i) any
Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 4.1(c) or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the
Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 4.1(c) and (ii) any Swingline Loan
shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as set forth in
Section 4.1(c)

                                       26

<PAGE>

or the rate mutually agreed upon by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The
Borrower shall select the rate of interest and LIBOR Interest Period, if any,
applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given pursuant to
Section 2.3 or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant
to Section 4.2. Each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base
Rate shall be a "Base Rate Loan", each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest
based on the LIBOR Rate shall be a "LIBOR Rate Loan." Any Loan or any portion
thereof as to which the Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as
provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan.

      (b) LIBOR Interest Periods.

            (i) In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by giving
notice at the times described in Section 2.3, shall elect an interest period
(each, a "LIBOR Interest Period") to be applicable to such Loan, which LIBOR
Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6)
months; provided that:

                  (A) each LIBOR Interest Period shall commence on the date of
            advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of
            immediately successive LIBOR Interest Periods, each successive LIBOR
            Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the next
            preceding LIBOR Interest Period expires;

                  (B) if any LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise expire on a
            day that is not a Business Day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall
            expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any
            LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a
            Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further
            Business Day occurs in such month, such LIBOR Interest Period shall
            expire on the next preceding Business Day;

                  (C) any LIBOR Interest Period that begins on the last Business
            Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no
            numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of
            such LIBOR Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of
            the relevant calendar month at the end of such LIBOR Interest
            Period; and

                  (D) no LIBOR Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity
            Date.

            (ii) There shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Interest Periods in
effect at any time.

      (c) Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin provided for in Section
4.1(a) with respect to the Loans (the "Applicable Margin") shall (i) on the
Closing Date equal the percentages set forth in the certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 5.2(d) and (ii) for each fiscal quarter thereafter be
determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal
quarter immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable Officer's
Compliance Certificate as follows:

</TABLE>

Adjustments, if any, in the Applicable Margin shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of quarterly financial statements for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and the accompanying Officer's Compliance Certificate setting forth
the Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the most recent
fiscal quarter end. Subject to Section 4.1(d), in the event the Borrower fails
to deliver such financial statements and certificate within the time required by
Section 7.2, the Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin set
forth above until the delivery of such financial statements and certificate.

      (d) Default Rate. Subject to Section 11.3, at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the
option to request LIBOR Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, (ii) all outstanding
LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum two percent (2%) in
excess of the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, as applicable, until the
end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to
two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and
(iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations. Interest shall continue
to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any
petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to
insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

      (e) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
commencing December 31, 2005; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
payable on the last day of each LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, and if
such LIBOR Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each
three (3) month interval during such LIBOR Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed and interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year and
assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

                                       28

      (f) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or
collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate
permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction
shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such
a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder
in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall
automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the
Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent's option (i) promptly refund to the
Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful
rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a
pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to
pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or
contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest
in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

      SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans.
Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the
Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third
Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of its outstanding Base
Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to
$3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or
more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any LIBOR Interest Period,
(i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal
amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR
Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or
continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a
"Notice of Conversion/Continuation") not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3)
Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of
such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or
continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued,
the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of
such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the
principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the LIBOR
Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation.

      SECTION 4.3 Fees.

      (a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable
commitment fee at a rate per annum determined by reference to the pricing grid
set forth below (the "Commitment Fee Rate") on the average daily unused portion
of the Aggregate Commitment; provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline
Loans shall not be considered usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose
of calculating such commitment fee. The commitment fee shall be payable in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of
this Agreement commencing December 31, 2005, and on the Maturity Date. The
commitment fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the Lenders' respective Commitment Percentages. The
Commitment Fee Rate shall (i) on the Closing Date equal the percentage set forth
in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(d)

                                       29

Adjustments, if any, in the Commitment Fee Rate shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of quarterly financial statements for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and the accompanying Officer's Compliance Certificate setting forth
the Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the most recent
fiscal quarter end. In the event the Borrower fails to deliver such financial
statements and certificate within the time required by Section 7.2, the
Commitment Fee Rate shall be the highest Commitment Fee Rate set forth above
until the delivery of such financial statements and certificate.

      (b) Administrative Agent's Fees and Other Fees. In order to compensate the
Administrative Agent for performing its duties as Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for its account,
the fee set forth in the separate letter agreement executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC dated September 9, 2005.

      SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment. Each payment by the Borrower on account of
the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other

the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the Lenders (other than
as set forth below) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages (except as specified below), in Dollars, in immediately available
funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction
whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such
day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 11.1, but
for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been
made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute to each Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro
rata share of such payment in accordance with such Lender's Commitment
Percentage (except as specified below) and shall

                                       30

<PAGE>

wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the
Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lender's fees or L/C Participants'
commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing
Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the
Administrative Agent made in connection with a Swingline Loan shall be made in
like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the
Administrative Agent of any Agent's fees or expenses shall be made for the
account of the applicable Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under
Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 13.2 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(i)(B) if any
payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is
not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a
Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in
computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

      SECTION 4.5 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the
Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations
have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2, all payments received by the
Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the
Obligations shall be applied:

      First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including reasonable attorney fees,
payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Issuing
Lender in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
First payable to them);

      Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the
Lenders, including reasonable attorney fees (ratably among the Lenders in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to
them);

      Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued
and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and any
obligations under Hedging Agreements (including any termination payments and any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to
the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them);

      Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (ratably among the Lenders
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them);

      Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender,
to cash collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding; and

      Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by
Applicable Law.

      SECTION 4.6 Evidence of Indebtedness.

                                       31

<PAGE>

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

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

      SECTION 4.7 Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in
such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its
Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than
pursuant to Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 13.2 hereof) greater than its pro rata
share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b)
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other
obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them;
provided that

      (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and

      (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to
which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

                                       32

<PAGE>

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of such Person in the amount of such participation.

      SECTION 4.8 Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of
Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders
under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of
Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a
proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed
on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations
hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in
accordance with Section 2.3(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative
Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of
(a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms
hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as
determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date
to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance
with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the
Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.8
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender's Commitment
Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such borrowing date, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by
the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable
to Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower. The failure of any
Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the
Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, hereunder
to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any Lender that fails
to make available its Commitment Percentage shall not (i) have any voting or
consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or (ii) constitute a
"Lender" (or be included in the calculation of Required Lenders hereunder) for
any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.

      SECTION 4.9 Changed Circumstances.

      (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If with respect to
any LIBOR Interest Period the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after
consultation with Administrative Agent) shall determine that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally,
deposits in eurodollars, in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via the
Telerate Page 3750 or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for

                                       33

<PAGE>

such LIBOR Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give
notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of
the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert
any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and
the Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then
outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loans together with accrued
interest thereon, on the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal
amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of
such LIBOR Interest Period.

      (b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the
introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of its Lending Offices) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it
unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of its Lending Offices) to
honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such
Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other
Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that
such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make
LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan or continue
any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may
select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not
lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current
LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable
LIBOR Rate Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the
remainder of such LIBOR Interest Period.

      SECTION 4.10 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the
Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each
Lender's obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to
effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the
Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection
with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow,
continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or
conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR
Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be
determined, in the applicable Lender's sole discretion, based upon the
assumption that such Lender funded its Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate
Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or
averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A
certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount
or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to
be correct save for manifest error.

      SECTION 4.11 Increased Costs.

      (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

                                       34

<PAGE>

            (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended
or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in
the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

            (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change
the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in
respect thereof (except for Other Taxes covered by Section 4.12 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of any excluded tax described in
Section 4.12(a) payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or

            (iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement
or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation
therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender of making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to
such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to
issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay, in accordance with Section
4.11(c), to any such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

      (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any
lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding
company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's capital or
on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company, if any,
as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans
made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's policies and the policies of
such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such
Issuing Lender the Borrower shall promptly pay, in accordance with Section
4.11(c), to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

      (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the
Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay

                                       35
<PAGE>
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

      (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's right to demand
such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior
to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

      SECTION 4.12 Taxes.

      (a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto
excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, income
and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or is or
should be qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof and (ii)
in the case of each Lender, income and franchise taxes imposed by the
jurisdiction of such Lender's Lending Office or any political subdivision
thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings
(including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 4.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received
had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) the Borrower shall make
such deductions or withholdings, (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
Applicable Law, and (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental
Authority in the manner provided in Section 4.12(d).

      (b) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present
or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other
similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United States
or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign
jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the
Loans, the Letters of Credit or the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of
any rights or security interest in respect thereof (hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes").

                                       36

<PAGE>

      (c) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 4.12) paid by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand
therefor.

      (d) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any
payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

      (e) Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof shall deliver to
the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date or
concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance, as
applicable, (i) two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or Forms
W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms) properly completed and certifying in
each case that such Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding
or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income taxes, and
(ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable
form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup
withholding taxes. Each such Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower,
with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor
applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before
the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by
it to the Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes (unless in any such case
an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such
forms relate unavailable and such Lender notifies the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without
deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes) and, in the case
of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, establishing an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax.

      (f) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained
in this Section 4.12 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of the Commitments.

      (g) Tax Credits. Each Lender represents and warrants that each such form
supplied by it to the Administrative Agent and, as the case may be, the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 4.12, and not superseded by another form supplied by
it, is or will be, as the case may be, complete and accurate. Each Lender
further agrees that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify such Lender
or pay any additional amounts to such Lender in respect of any United

                                       37

<PAGE>

States Federal withholding tax existing on the date such Lender became a Lender
hereunder, or with respect to payments to or for the account of a new lending
office for such Lender, existing on the date such Lender designated such new
lending office with respect to such payments or the related Loans.

      If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.12 (a "Tax
Payment") and any Lender or Affiliate thereof effectively obtains a refund or
credit against tax by reason of the Tax Payment (a "Tax Credit") and such Lender
of such Affiliate identifies the Tax Credit as being attributable to the Tax
Payment, then such Lender, after actual receipt of such Tax Credit or actual
receipt of the benefits thereof, shall promptly reimburse the Borrower for such
amount as such Lender shall reasonably determine to be the proportion of the Tax
Credit as will leave such Lender (after such reimbursement) in no better or
worse position than it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required
and such Lender agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Borrower if the Borrower
elects to pursue a refund; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required
to make any such reimbursement or cooperate with the Borrower if it reasonably,
as determined in such Lender's sole discretion, believes that the making of such
reimbursement or cooperating with the Borrower would cause it to lose the
benefit of the Tax Credit or would adversely affect in any other respect its tax
position. Subject to the terms hereof, any claim by a Lender for a Tax Credit
shall be made in a manner, order and amount as such Lender determines in its
sole discretion. Except to the extent necessary for the Borrower to evaluate any
Tax Credit, no Lender shall be obligated to disclose information regarding its
tax affairs or computations to the Borrower, it being understood and agreed that
in no event shall any Lender be required to disclose information regarding its
tax position that it deems to be confidential (other than with respect to the
Tax Credit).

      SECTION 4.13 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

      (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 4.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 4.11 or Section 4.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii)
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment, which costs and expenses shall not exceed those
costs that would have been incurred pursuant to Section 4.11 or Section 4.12.

      (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 4.11 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 4.12, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 13.9 except for Section 13.9(b)(iv)), all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this

                                       38

<PAGE>

Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that

            (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 13.9,

            (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 4.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts),

            (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 4.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 4.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter, and

            (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

                                   ARTICLE V

                  CLOSING; CONDITIONS OF CLOSING AND BORROWING

      SECTION 5.1 Closing. The closing shall take place at the offices of
Kennedy, Covington, Lobdell & Hickman, L.L.P. at 10:00 a.m. on October 7, 2005,
or on such other date and time as the parties hereto shall mutually agree.

      SECTION 5.2 Conditions to Closing and Initial Extensions of Credit. The
obligation of the Lenders to close this Agreement and to make the initial Loan
or issue or participate in the initial Letter of Credit is subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

      (a) Executed Loan Documents. This Agreement, a Revolving Credit Note in
favor of each Lender requesting a Revolving Credit Note, a Swingline Note in

                 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

      SECTION 6.1 Representations and Warranties. To induce the Administrative
Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make
Extensions of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and Lenders both before and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereunder that:

      (a) Organization; Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and
authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each
jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its
business requires such qualification and authorization, except where the failure
to be so qualified or authorized could not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The jurisdictions in which the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are organized and qualified to do business as of the Closing Date
are described on Schedule 6.1(a).

      (b) Ownership. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower as of the Closing Date is
listed on Schedule 6.1(b). As of the Closing Date, the capitalization of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries consists of the number of shares, authorized,
issued and outstanding, of such classes and series, with or without par value,
described on Schedule 6.1(b). All outstanding shares have been duly authorized
and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and not subject to any preemptive
or similar rights. The shareholders of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the
number of shares owned by each as of

                                       43

<PAGE>

than the options granted under the Borrower's plans as described in the
Borrower's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its Fiscal Year ended January 1, 2005,
there are no outstanding stock purchase warrants, subscriptions, options,
securities, instruments or other rights of any type or nature whatsoever, which
are convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise provide for or permit the
issuance of Capital Stock of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, except as
described on Schedule 6.1(b).

      (c) Authorization of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing. The Borrower
has the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and
other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in
accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized
officers of the Borrower, and each such document constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from
time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors' rights in
general and the availability of equitable remedies.

      (d) Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents in
accordance with their respective terms, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and
the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of
time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require the Borrower or any
Subsidiary to obtain any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law
relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result
in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default
under any indenture, or other material agreement or instrument to which such
Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any
Governmental Approval relating to such Person, except to the extent a breach or
default under such indenture, agreement or instrument could not have a Material
Adverse Effect, (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien
upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Person other than Liens arising under the Loan Documents, or (v) require any
consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act in respect of, an
arbitrator or Governmental Authority and, to the Borrower's knowledge, no
consent of any other Person is required in connection with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

      (e) Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries (i) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable
Law for it to conduct its business, each of which is in full force and effect,
is final and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of any
pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened attack by direct or
collateral proceeding, except where the failure to have such Governmental
Approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
(ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in
compliance with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its
respective properties, except where the failure to so comply could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       44

<PAGE>

      (f) Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has duly filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and material local and
other tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made
adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state, local and other
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it and its property,
income, profits and assets which are due and payable, except (a) taxes,
assessments and/or governmental charges that are being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such returns
accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. Except as
described on Schedule 6.1(f), there is no ongoing audit or examination of any
material nature or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, other investigation by any
Governmental Authority of the tax liability of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. No Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim
against the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes
(except for taxes not yet due) which has not been discharged or resolved. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its
Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal
Years and portions thereof since the organization of the Borrower and any of its
Subsidiaries are in the judgment of the Borrower adequate, and the Borrower does
not anticipate any additional taxes or assessments for any of such years.

Subsidiaries owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses,
copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark rights, service mark, service mark rights,
trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the
foregoing which are required to conduct its business, except where the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
event has occurred which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, permits, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of
any such rights, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor
any Subsidiary thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable
Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations,
except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (h) Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect:

            (i) To the knowledge of the Borrower, the properties owned, leased
or operated by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries now or in the past do not

to give rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws;

            (ii) The Borrower, each Subsidiary and such properties and all
operations conducted in connection therewith are in compliance, and have been in
compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws and, to the knowledge of the

operation of such properties;

under, Environmental Laws, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, have any
Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or
under any of such properties in violation of, or in a manner that could
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable
Environmental Laws;

            (v) No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action

Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is or will be

operations conducted in connection therewith, nor are there any consent decrees
or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or
other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any
Environmental Law with respect to Borrower, any Subsidiary or such properties or
operations; and

            (vi) To the Borrower's knowledge, there has been no release, or

determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust
related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a) of
the Code. No liability has been incurred by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate

      SECTION 11.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with
the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the

the Borrower:

      (a) Acceleration; Termination of Facilities. Declare the principal of and
interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding,
and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or shall be entitled to
present the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations (other than
obligations owing under any Hedging Agreement), to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived,
anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, and terminate the Facility and any right of the Borrower to
request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(i) or (j), the
Facility shall be

                                       63
<PAGE>

automatically terminated and all Obligations (other than obligations owing under
any Hedging Agreement) shall automatically become due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to
the contrary notwithstanding.

      (b) Letters of Credit. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect
to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an
acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, require the Borrower at such
time to deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent
an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such
Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of
Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the
other Obligations on a pro rata basis. After all such Letters of Credit shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement Obligation shall have
been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the
balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the
Borrower.

      (c) Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of its
other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Borrower's Obligations.

      SECTION 11.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The
enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy
shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist
in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action
on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of
dealing between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their
respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

      SECTION 11.4 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have
made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

      (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the

                                       64
<PAGE>

claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.3 and
13.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and to collect and receive any monies
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same;

      (b) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and,
in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 4.3 and 13.2.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

      SECTION 12.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the
Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions.

      SECTION 12.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

      SECTION 12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:

                                       65
<PAGE>

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

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

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

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Section 13.11 and Section 11.2) or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

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

      SECTION 12.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or
the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have

                                       66
<PAGE>

received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to
the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

      SECTION 12.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

      SECTION 12.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

      (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set
forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that
in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by
the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.2
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties

                                       67
<PAGE>

in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

      (b) Any resignation by Wachovia as Administrative Agent pursuant to this

      SECTION 12.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has

Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its

out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit

Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with
the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

      (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental
Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and

any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or

Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), investigation, litigation
or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a
party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any
way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys and consultant's fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim
brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the
Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such
claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related

                                       70
<PAGE>

Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Commitment Percentage (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations
of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section
4.8.

      (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of
any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

      (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly

and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline
Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing
Lender or the Swingline Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the
Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing
Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each
Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.

      SECTION 13.4 Governing Law.

      (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless
expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the law of the State of North Carolina, without reference to the conflicts
or choice of law principles thereof.

      (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such North Carolina State
court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right
that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

      (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.

      (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.1. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any
other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

      SECTION 13.5 Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.

      (a) Binding Arbitration. Upon demand of any party, whether made before or
after institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document ("Disputes"), between or among parties hereto and to the other Loan
Documents shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein.
Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that
party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation,
tort claims, counterclaims, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from
Loan Documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a matter is
subject to arbitration, or claims concerning any aspect of the past, present or
future relationships arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents.
Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial
Disputes Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") and the Federal Arbitration Act. All arbitration hearings
shall be conducted in

                                       72
<PAGE>

Charlotte, North Carolina. The expedited procedures set forth in Rule 51, et
seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to claims of less than
$1,000,000. All applicable statutes of limitation shall apply to any Dispute. A
judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, any arbitration proceeding
demanded hereunder shall begin within ninety (90) days after such demand thereof
and shall be concluded within one hundred and twenty (120) days after such
demand. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party hereto shows
cause for extension and then such extension shall not exceed a total of sixty
(60) days. The panel from which all arbitrators are selected shall be comprised
of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration
Panel of the AAA. The single arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall
be a retired judge from the highest court of general jurisdiction, state or
federal, of the state where the hearing will be conducted. The parties hereto do
not waive any applicable Federal or state substantive law except as provided
herein.

      (b) Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

      (c) Preservation of Certain Remedies. Notwithstanding the preceding
binding arbitration provisions, the parties hereto and the other Loan Documents
preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may employ or
exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a Dispute. Each
such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in any court of
proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the following
remedies, as applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or
personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the
Loan Documents or under Applicable Law or by judicial foreclosure and sale,
including a proceeding to confirm the sale, (ii) all rights of self help
including peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and
peaceful possession of property, (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment,
appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, and
(iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of
these remedies does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar
remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute.

      SECTION 13.6 Reversal of Payments. To the extent the Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the
collateral which payments or

                                       73
<PAGE>

proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds
had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

      SECTION 13.7 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages.

      (a) The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to
perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders.
Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders' option, shall
be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

      (b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (on behalf of
itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a
remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan
Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or
exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in
connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through
arbitration or judicially.

      SECTION 13.8 Accounting Matters. If at any time any change in GAAP would
affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any
Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request,
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good
faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof
in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required
Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall
continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and
(ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as
reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between
calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to
such change in GAAP.

      SECTION 13.9 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

      (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions
of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph
(f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors

                                       74
<PAGE>

and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph
(d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

            (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the
applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance
of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless (A) such assignment is made to an existing Lender, to an
Affiliate thereof, or to an Approved Fund, in which case no minimum amount shall
apply, or (B) each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

            (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;

            (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender unless the
Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment
(whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible
Assignee);

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

            (v) such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Borrower,
require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or apply to
or qualify the Loans under the blue sky laws of any state.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the

                                       75
<PAGE>

extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 13.2 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

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

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

      Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section
13.11 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.7 as though it were a Lender.

      (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.11 and 4.12 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the

                                       76
<PAGE>

participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.12 unless the Borrower is notified
of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.12(e) as though it were a
Lender.

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

      SECTION 13.10 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates'
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement
with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a
Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any Purchasing Lender, proposed Purchasing
Lender, Participant or proposed Participant (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (g) with the consent of the
Borrower, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such
information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in
such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower or (j) to governmental regulatory
authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent's or any
Lender's regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender
deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the
Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential

                                       77
<PAGE>

basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or such Subsidiary. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

or as specifically provided in any Loan Document, any term, covenant, agreement

such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders

      (c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document
for any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan

proviso to this Section) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, or change the manner of computation of any financial
ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining
the Applicable Margin that would result in a reduction of any interest rate on
any Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required
Lenders shall be necessary (i) to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay
interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(d) during the continuance of an
Event of Default;

      (e) change Section 2.5(a), Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 in a manner that

consent of each Lender;

provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Lenders required
above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement or
any Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or

                                       78

Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other

thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended
without the consent of such Lender.

      SECTION 13.12 Performance of Duties. The Borrower's obligations under this
Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed by the Borrower at
its sole cost and expense.

      SECTION 13.13 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and
other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any
Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied or the Facility has not been
terminated.

this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any other

force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
against events arising after such termination as well as before.

Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are

Agreement.

      SECTION 13.16 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      SECTION 13.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding
upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

      SECTION 13.18 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect
from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which the Commitments
shall have been terminated, all outstanding Letters of Credit have expired or
been cancelled and all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably
paid and satisfied in full. No termination of this

                                       79
<PAGE>

Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising
prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which
survives such termination.

acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VIII, IX, or X
shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in

jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall

authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

      SECTION 13.22 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written
or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of
supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this
Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the
respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

      SECTION 13.23 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
