Exhibit 10.2

 

 

 

DIEDRICH COFFEE, INC.

2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE OF PLAN

 

The
Company has adopted this Plan to promote the interests of the Company and its
stockholders by using investment interests in the Company to attract, retain
and motivate its management and other persons, to encourage and reward their
contributions to the performance of the Company, and to align their interests
with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Article IX.

 

ARTICLE II

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

 

2.1          Term of Plan.

 

This
Plan became effective as of the Effective Date and will continue in effect
until the Expiration Date, at which time this Plan will automatically terminate.

 

2.2          Effect on Awards.

 

Awards
may be granted only during the Plan Term, but each Award properly granted
during the Plan Term will remain in effect after the Expiration Date until such
Award has been exercised, terminated or expired in accordance with its terms
and the terms of this Plan.

 

ARTICLE III

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

 

3.1          Number of Shares.

 

The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards
under this Plan is 1,087,500, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section
3.4.

 

3.2          Source of Shares.

 

The
Common Stock to be issued under this Plan will be made available, at the
discretion of the Administrator, either from authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock or from previously issued shares of Common Stock reacquired by the
Company, including without limitation shares purchased on the open market.

 

3.3          Availability of Unused
Shares.

 

Shares
of Common Stock subject to unexercised portions of any Award that expire,
terminate or are canceled, and shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an
Award that are reacquired by the Company pursuant to this Plan or the terms of
the Award under which such

 

 

shares were
issued, will again become available for the grant of further Awards under this
Plan as part of the shares available under Section 3.1. However, if the
exercise price of, or withholding taxes incurred in connection with, an Award
is paid with shares of Common Stock, or if shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable pursuant to Awards are withheld by the Company in satisfaction of an
exercise price or the withholding taxes incurred in connection with any
exercise or vesting of an Award, then the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by the gross number of
shares for which the Award is exercised or for which it vests, as applicable,
and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of
such Award.

 

3.4          Adjustment Provisions.

 

(a)           Adjustments.  If the Company consummates any
Reorganization in which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to
receive in respect of such shares any additional shares or new or different
shares or securities, cash or other consideration (including, without
limitation, a different number of shares of Common Stock), or if the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities through merger,
consolidation, sale or exchange of assets of the Company, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, spin-off, or similar transaction then, subject to Section
8.1, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator in its discretion in: (i) the maximum number and kind of shares
subject to this Plan as provided in Section 3.1; (ii) the number and kind of
shares or other securities subject to then outstanding Awards; (iii) the price
for each share or other unit of any other securities subject to, or measurement
criteria applicable to, then outstanding Awards; and/or (iv) the number and
kind of shares or other securities to be issued as Non-Employee Director
Options.

 

(b)           No Fractional
Interests.  No fractional interests will
be issued under the Plan resulting from any adjustments.

 

(c)           Adjustments Related to
Company Stock.  To the extent any
adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments will
be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect will be final,
binding and conclusive.

 

(d)           Right to Make
Adjustment. The grant of an Award will not affect in any way the right or power
of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or
changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or
to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

 

(e)           Limitations.  No adjustment to the terms of an Incentive
Stock Option may be made unless such adjustment either:  (i) would not cause the Option to lose its
status as an Incentive Stock Option; or (ii) is agreed to in writing by the
Administrator and the Recipient.

 

3.5          Reservation of Shares.

 

The
Company will at all times reserve and keep available shares of Common Stock
equaling at least the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to all outstanding Awards.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

 

4.1          Administrator.

 

(a)           Plan
Administration.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.1(b), this Plan will be administered by the Board and
may also be administered by a Committee of the Board appointed pursuant to
Section 4.1(b).

 

(b)           Administration by
Committee.  The Board in its sole
discretion may from time to time appoint a Committee of not less than two (2)
Board members with authority to administer this Plan in whole or part and,
subject to applicable law, to exercise any or all of the powers, authority and
discretion of the Board under this Plan. As long as the Company has a class of
equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, this Plan
will be administered by a Committee of not less than two (2) Board members
appointed by the Board in its sole discretion from time to time, each of whom
is (i) a Non-Employee Director, and (ii) an “Outside Director” as defined in
the regulations adopted under Section 162(m) of the IRC. The Board may from
time to time increase or decrease (but not below two (2)) the number of members
of the Committee, remove from membership on the Committee all or any portion of
its members, and/or appoint such person or persons as it desires to fill any
vacancy existing on the Committee, whether caused by removal, resignation or
otherwise. Unless otherwise required by this Section 4.1(b), the Board may
disband the Committee at any time.

 

4.2          Authority of
Administrator.

 

(a)           Authority to Interpret
Plan.  Subject to the express provisions
of this Plan, the Administrator will have the power to implement, interpret and
construe this Plan and any Awards and Award Documents or other documents
defining the rights and obligations of the Company and Recipients hereunder and
thereunder, to determine all questions arising hereunder and thereunder, and to
adopt and amend such rules and regulations for the administration hereof and
thereof as it may deem desirable. The interpretation and construction by the
Administrator of any provisions of this Plan or of any Award or Award Document,
and any action taken by, or inaction of, the Administrator relating to this
Plan or any Award or Award Document, will be within the discretion of the
Administrator and will be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Subject only
to compliance with the express provisions hereof, the Administrator may act in
its discretion in matters related to this Plan and any and all Awards and Award
Documents.

 

(b)           Authority to Grant
Awards. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator may
from time to time in its discretion select the Eligible Persons to whom, and
the time or times at which, Awards will be granted or sold, the nature of each
Award, the number of shares of Common Stock or the number of rights that make
up or underlie each Award, the exercise price and period (if applicable) for
the exercise of each Award, and such other terms and conditions applicable to
each individual Award as the Administrator may determine. Any and all terms and
conditions of Awards may be established by the Administrator without regard to
existing Awards or other grants and without incurring any obligation of the
Company in respect of subsequent Awards. 
The Administrator may grant at any time new Awards to an Eligible Person
who has previously received Awards or other grants (including

 

3

 

other stock options) regardless of the status
of such other Awards or grants. The Administrator may grant Awards singly or in
combination or in tandem with other Awards as it determines in its discretion.

 

(c)           Procedures.  Subject to the Company’s charter or bylaws
or any Board resolution conferring authority on the Committee, any action of
the Administrator with respect to the administration of this Plan must be taken
pursuant to a majority vote of the authorized number of members of the
Administrator or by the unanimous written consent of its members; provided,
however, that (i) if the Administrator is the Committee and consists of two (2)
members, then actions of the Administrator must be unanimous, and (ii) actions
taken by the Board will be valid if approved in accordance with applicable law.

 

4.3          No Liability.

 

No
member of the Board or the Committee or any designee thereof will be liable for
any action or inaction with respect to this Plan or any Award or any
transaction arising under this Plan or any Award except in circumstances
constituting bad faith of such member.

 

4.4          Amendments.

 

(a)           Plan Amendments.  The Administrator may at any time and from
time to time in its discretion, insofar as permitted by applicable law, rule or
regulation and subject to Section 4.4(c), suspend or discontinue this Plan or
revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, and this Plan as so revised or
amended will govern all Awards, including those granted before such revision or
amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator
is authorized to amend this Plan to comply with or take advantage of amendments
to applicable laws, rules or regulations, including the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, the IRC, or the rules of any exchange or market system upon which
the Common Stock is listed or trades, or any rules or regulations promulgated
thereunder. No stockholder approval of any amendment or revision will be
required unless such approval is required by applicable law, rule or
regulation.

 

(b)           Award Amendments.  The Administrator may at any time and from
time to time in its discretion, but subject to Section 4.4(c) and compliance
with applicable statutory or administrative requirements, accelerate or extend
the vesting or exercise period of any Award as a whole or in part, adjust or
reduce the purchase or exercise price of an Award either by cancellation of
such Award and the granting of a new Award at such modified purchase or
exercise price or by amending the terms of the Award to reflect such a modified
purchase or exercise price, and make such other modifications in the terms and
conditions of an Award as it deems advisable.

 

(c)           Limitation.  Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or
in the applicable Award Document, no amendment, revision, suspension or
termination of this Plan or an outstanding Award that would cause an Incentive
Stock Option to cease to qualify as such or that would alter, impair or
diminish in any material respect any rights or obligations under any Award
theretofore granted under this Plan may be effected without the written consent
of the Recipient to whom such Award was granted.

 

4

 

4.5          Other Compensation
Plans.

 

This
Plan supersedes and replaces the Company’s Amended and Restated 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan and the Company’s 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan,
but the adoption of this Plan will not affect any other stock option, incentive
or other compensation plans in effect from time to time for the Company, and
this Plan will not preclude the Company from establishing any other forms of
incentive or other compensation for employees, directors, advisors or
consultants of the Company, whether or not approved by stockholders.
Notwithstanding the fact that this Plan supersedes and replaces the Company’s
Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and the Company’s 1996
Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, this plan does not affect in any way,
any outstanding award grants made under such other plans prior to the Effective
Date.

 

4.6          Plan Binding on
Successors.

 

This
Plan will be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

4.7          References to Successor
Statutes, Regulations and Rules.

 

Any
reference in this Plan to a particular statute, regulation or rule will also
refer to any successor provision of such statute, regulation or rule.

 

4.8          Invalid Provisions.

 

In
the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise
unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability is
not to be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein invalid
or unenforceable, and all such other provisions are to be given full force and
effect to the same extent as though the invalid and unenforceable provision
were not contained herein.

 

4.9          Governing Law.

 

This
Plan will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of the
conflicts of laws thereof.

 

4.10        Interpretation.

 

Headings
herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this
Plan, and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan.
References herein to Sections or Articles are references to the referenced
Section or Article hereof, unless otherwise specified.

ARTICLE V

GENERAL AWARD PROVISIONS

 

5.1          Participation in Plan.

 

(a)           Eligibility to Receive
Awards.  A person is eligible to receive
grants of Awards if, at the time of the grant of the Award, such person is an
Eligible Person or has received an offer of employment from the Company,
provided, however, that only Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive
Non-Employee Director Options, and provided further, that Awards granted to a
person who has received an offer of employment will terminate and be forfeited
without consideration if the employment offer is not accepted within such time
as may be specified by the Company. Status as an Eligible Person will not be
construed as a commitment that any Award will be granted under this Plan to an
Eligible Person or to Eligible Persons generally.

 

(b)           Eligibility to Receive
Incentive Stock Options.  Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Persons meeting the employment
requirements of Section 422 of the IRC.

 

(c)           Awards to Foreign
Nationals.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Administrator may, in order to fulfill the purposes of
this Plan, modify grants of Awards to Recipients who are foreign nationals or
employed outside of the United States to recognize differences in applicable
law, tax policy or local custom.

 

5.2          Award Documents.

 

Each
Award must be evidenced by an agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company
and by the Recipient or, in the Administrator’s discretion, a confirming
memorandum issued by the Company to the Recipient, setting forth such terms and
conditions applicable to the Award as the Administrator may in its discretion
determine. Awards will not be deemed made or binding upon the Company, and Recipients
will have no rights thereto, until such an agreement is entered into between
the Company and the Recipient or such a memorandum is delivered by the Company
to the Recipient, but an Award may have an effective date prior to the date of
such an agreement or memorandum. Award Documents may be (but need not be)
identical and must comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Plan, a copy of which will be provided to each Recipient and incorporated
by reference into each Award Document. Any Award Document may contain such
other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may
be determined by the Administrator. In case of any conflict between this Plan
and any Award Document, this Plan shall control.

 

5.3          Payment for Awards.

 

(a)           Payment of Exercise
Price.  The exercise price or other
payment for an Award is payable upon the exercise of a Stock Option or upon
other purchase of shares pursuant to an Award granted hereunder by delivery of
legal tender of the United States or payment of such other consideration as the
Administrator may from time to time deem acceptable in any particular instance;
provided, however, that the Administrator may, in the exercise of its

 

6

 

discretion, allow exercise of an Award in a
broker-assisted or similar transaction in which the exercise price is not
received by the Company until promptly after exercise.

 

(b)           Company
Assistance.  The Company may assist any
person to whom an Award is granted (including, without limitation, any officer
or director of the Company) in the payment of the purchase price or other
amounts payable in connection with the receipt or exercise of that Award, by
lending such amounts to such person on such terms and at such rates of interest
and upon such security (if any) as may be consistent with applicable law and
approved by the Administrator. In case of such a loan, the Administrator may
require that the exercise be followed by a prompt sale of some or all of the underlying
shares and that a portion of the sale proceeds be dedicated to full payment of
the exercise price and amounts required pursuant to Section 5.10.

 

(c)           Cashless Exercise.  If permitted in any case by the
Administrator in its discretion, the exercise price for Awards may be paid by
capital stock of the Company delivered in transfer to the Company by or on
behalf of the person exercising the Award and duly endorsed in blank or
accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, with signatures guaranteed
in accordance with the Exchange Act if required by the Administrator; or
retained by the Company from the stock otherwise issuable upon exercise or
surrender of vested and/or exercisable Awards or other equity awards previously
granted to the Recipient and being exercised (if applicable) (in either case
valued at Fair Market Value as of the exercise date); or such other
consideration as the Administrator may from time to time in the exercise of its
discretion deem acceptable in any particular instance.

 

(d)           No Precedent.  Recipients will have no rights to the
assistance described in Section 5.3(b) or the exercise techniques described in
Section 5.3(c), and the Company may offer or permit such assistance or
techniques on an ad hoc basis to any Recipient without incurring any obligation
to offer or permit such assistance or techniques on other occasions or to other
Recipients.

 

5.4          No Employment Rights.

 

Nothing
contained in this Plan (or in Award Documents or in any other documents related
to this Plan or to Awards) will confer upon any Eligible Person or Recipient
any right to continue in the employ of or engagement by the Company or any
Affiliated Entity or constitute any contract or agreement of employment or
engagement, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any
Affiliated Entity to reduce such person’s compensation or other benefits or to
terminate the employment or engagement of such Eligible Person or Recipient,
with or without cause. Except as expressly provided in this Plan or in any
statement evidencing the grant of an Award, the Company has the right to deal
with each Recipient in the same manner as if this Plan and any such statement
evidencing the grant of an Award did not exist, including, without limitation,
with respect to all matters related to the hiring, discharge, compensation and
conditions of the employment or engagement of the Recipient. Unless otherwise
set forth in a written agreement binding upon the Company or an Affiliated
Entity, all employees of the Company or an Affiliated Entity are “at will”
employees whose employment may be terminated by the Company or the Affiliated
Entity at any time for any reason or no reason, without payment or penalty of
any kind. Any question(s) as to whether and when there has been a

 

7

 

termination of a Recipient’s employment or
engagement, the reason (if any) for such termination, and/or the consequences
thereof under the terms of this Plan or any statement evidencing the grant of
an Award pursuant to this Plan will be determined by the Administrator and the
Administrator’s determination thereof will be final and binding.

 

5.5          Restrictions Under
Applicable Laws and Regulations.

 

(a)           Government
Approvals.  All Awards will be subject
to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the securities
subject to Awards granted under this Plan upon any securities exchange or
interdealer quotation system or under any federal, state or foreign law, or the
consent or approval of any government or regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such an
Award or the issuance, if any, or purchase of shares in connection therewith,
such Award may not be exercised as a whole or in part unless and until such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. During the term
of this Plan, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to seek to obtain
from the appropriate governmental and regulatory agencies any requisite
qualifications, consents, approvals or authorizations in order to issue and
sell such number of shares of its Common Stock as is sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this Plan. The inability of the Company to obtain any such
qualifications, consents, approvals or authorizations will relieve the Company
of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of such stock as to
which such qualifications, consents, approvals or authorizations pertain.

 

(b)           No Registration
Obligation; Recipient Representations. 
The Company will be under no obligation to register or qualify the
issuance of Awards or underlying securities under the Securities Act or
applicable state securities laws. Unless the issuance of Awards and underlying
securities have been registered under the Securities Act and qualified or
registered under applicable state securities laws, the Company shall be under
no obligation to issue any Awards or underlying securities unless the Awards
and underlying securities may be issued pursuant to applicable exemptions from
such registration or qualification requirements. In connection with any such
exempt issuance, the Administrator may require the Recipient to provide a
written representation and undertaking to the Company, satisfactory in form and
scope to the Company, that such Recipient is acquiring such Awards and
underlying securities for such Recipient’s own account as an investment and not
with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such
securities, and that such person will make no transfer of the same except in
compliance with any rules and regulations in force at the time of such transfer
under the Securities Act and other applicable law, and that if securities are
issued without registration, a legend to this effect (together with any other
legends deemed appropriate by the Administrator) may be endorsed upon the
securities so issued, and to the effect of any additional representations that
are appropriate in light of applicable securities laws and rules. The Company
may also order its transfer agent to stop transfers of such shares. The
Administrator may also require the Recipient to provide the Company such
information and other documents as the Administrator may request in order to
satisfy the Administrator as to the investment sophistication and experience of
the Recipient and as to any other conditions for compliance with any such
exemptions from registration or qualification.

 

8

 

5.6          Additional Conditions.

 

Any
Award may be subject to such provisions (whether or not applicable to any other
Award or Recipient) as the Administrator deems appropriate, including without
limitation provisions for the forfeiture of or restrictions on resale or other
disposition of securities of the Company acquired under this Plan, provisions
giving the Company the right to repurchase securities of the Company acquired
under this Plan in the event the Recipient leaves the Company for any reason or
elects to effect any disposition thereof, and provisions to comply with federal
and state securities laws.

 

5.7          No Privileges Re Stock
Ownership or Specific Assets.

 

Except
as otherwise set forth herein, a Recipient or a permitted transferee of an
Award will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares issuable
or issued in connection with the Award until the Recipient has delivered to the
Company all amounts payable and performed all obligations required to be
performed in connection with exercise of the Award and the Company has issued
such shares. No person will have any right, title or interest in any fund or in
any specific asset (including shares of capital stock) of the Company by reason
of any Award granted hereunder. Neither this Plan (or any documents related
hereto) nor any action taken pursuant hereto is to be construed to create a
trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive an Award
hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Company.

 

5.8          Nonassignability.

 

No
Award is assignable or transferable except: 
(a) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; or (b) subject
to the final sentence of this Section 5.8, upon dissolution of marriage
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or, in the discretion of the
Administrator and under circumstances that would not adversely affect the
interests of the Company, transfers for estate planning purposes or pursuant to
a nominal transfer that does not result in a change in beneficial ownership.
During the lifetime of a Recipient, an Award granted to such person will be
exercisable only by the Recipient (or the Recipient’s permitted transferee) or
such person’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Stock Options intended to be treated as Incentive Stock Options (or other
Awards subject to transfer restrictions under the IRC) may not be assigned or
transferred in violation of Section 422(b)(5) of the IRC or the regulations
thereunder, and nothing herein is intended to allow such assignment or
transfer.

 

5.9          Information to
Recipients.

 

(a)           Provision of
Information.  The Administrator in its
sole discretion may determine what, if any, financial and other information is
to be provided to Recipients and when such financial and other information is
to be provided after giving consideration to applicable federal and state laws,
rules and regulations, including, without limitation, applicable federal and
state securities laws, rules and regulations.

 

(b)           Confidentiality.  The furnishing of financial and other
information that is confidential to the Company is subject to the Recipient’s
agreement to maintain the

 

9

 

confidentiality of such financial and other
information, and not to use the information for any purpose other than evaluating
the Recipient’s position under this Plan. The Administrator may impose other
restrictions on the access to and use of such confidential information and may
require a Recipient to acknowledge the Recipient’s obligations under this
Section 5.9(b) (which acknowledgment is not to be a condition to Recipient’s
obligations under this Section 5.9(b)).

 

5.10        Withholding Taxes.

 

Whenever
the granting, vesting or exercise of any Award, or the issuance of any
securities upon exercise of any Award or transfer thereof, gives rise to tax or
tax withholding liabilities or obligations, the Administrator will have the
right as a condition thereto to require the Recipient to remit to the Company
an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements arising in connection therewith. The Administrator may, in the
exercise of its discretion, allow satisfaction of tax withholding requirements
by accepting delivery of stock of the Company or by withholding a portion of
the stock otherwise issuable in connection with an Award, in each case valued
at Fair Market Value as of the date of such delivery or withholding, as the
case may be, is determined.

 

5.11        Legends on Awards and
Stock Certificates.

 

Each
Award Document and each certificate representing securities acquired upon
vesting or exercise of an Award must be endorsed with all legends, if any,
required by applicable federal and state securities and other laws to be placed
on the Award Document and/or the certificate. The determination of which
legends, if any, will be placed upon Award Documents or the certificates will
be made by the Administrator in its discretion and such decision will be final
and binding.

 

5.12        Effect of Termination of
Employment on Awards.

 

(a)           Termination of Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, but subject to Section 5.12(b) Awards will be exercisable by a
Recipient (or the Recipient’s successor in interest) following such Recipient’s
termination of employment or service only to the extent that installments
thereof had become exercisable on or prior to the date of such termination and
are not forfeited pursuant to Section 5.15.

 

(b)           Alteration of Vesting
and Exercise Periods.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Administrator may in its discretion (i)
designate shorter or longer periods following a Recipient’s termination of
employment or service during which Awards may vest or be exercised; provided,
however, that any shorter periods determined by the Administrator will be effective
only if provided for in this Plan or the instrument that evidences the grant to
the Recipient of the affected Award or if such shorter period is agreed to in
writing by the Recipient, and (ii) accelerate the vesting of all or any portion
of any Awards by increasing the number of shares purchasable at any time.

 

(c)           Leave of Absence.  In the case of any employee on an approved
leave of absence, the Administrator may make such provision respecting
continuance of Awards granted to such employee as the Administrator in its
discretion deems appropriate, except that in no event

 

10

 

will an Award be exercisable after the date
such Award would expire in accordance with its terms had the Recipient remained
continuously employed.

 

(d)           General Cessation.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Plan
or an Award Document or as determined by the Administrator in its discretion,
all Awards granted to a Recipient, and all of such Recipient’s rights thereunder,
will terminate upon termination for any reason of such Recipient’s employment
or service with the Company or any Affiliated Entity (or cessation of any other
service relationship between the Recipient and the Company or any Affiliated
Entity in place as of the date the Award was granted).

 

5.13        Lock-Up Agreements.

 

Each
Recipient agrees as a condition to receipt of an Award that, in connection with
any public offering by the Company of its equity securities and upon the
request of the Company and the principal underwriter (if any) in such public
offering, any shares of Common Stock acquired or that may be acquired upon
exercise or vesting of an Award may not be sold, offered for sale, encumbered,
or otherwise disposed of or subjected to any transaction that will involve any
sales of securities of the Company, without the prior written consent of the
Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, for a period of not more than
365 days after the effective date of the registration statement for such public
offering. Each Recipient will, if requested by the Company or the principal
underwriter, enter into a separate agreement to the effect of this Section
5.13.

 

5.14        Restrictions on Common
Stock and Other Securities.

 

Common
Stock or other securities of the Company issued or issuable in connection with
any Award will be subject to all of the restrictions imposed under this Plan
upon Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of Stock Options, except as
otherwise determined by the Administrator.

 

5.15        Cancellation and Rescission
of Awards.

 

Unless
an Award Document or other separate written agreement binding upon the Company
provides otherwise, the Administrator may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or
deferred Award (whether or not vested) at any time if the Recipient thereof
fails at any time to comply with all applicable provisions of the Award
Document or this Plan, or does any of the following:

 

(a)           During employment or
engagement with the Company or any Affiliated Entity and without the prior
written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, renders
services for any organization or engages directly or indirectly in any business
that, in the judgment of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or other
senior officer designated by the Administrator, is competitive with the Company
or any Affiliated Entity, or which organization or business, or the rendering
of services to such organization or business, is otherwise prejudicial to or in
conflict with the business or interests of the Company or any Affiliated
Entity.

 

(b)           During employment with
the Company or any Affiliated Entity or at any time thereafter, fails to comply
with any confidentiality agreement with the Company or any

 

11

 

Affiliated Entity to which the Recipient is
party, or with the policies of the Company or Affiliated Entity regarding
nondisclosure of confidential information, or without prior written
authorization from the Company or any Affiliated Entity, discloses to anyone
outside the Company or any Affiliated Entity, or uses for any purpose or in any
context other than in performance of the Recipient’s duties to the Company or
any Affiliated Entity, any confidential or trade secret information of the
Company or any Affiliated Entity.

 

(c)           During employment with
the Company or any Affiliated Entity or at any time thereafter, breaches any
agreement with or duty to the Company or any Affiliated Entity.

 

Upon
and as a condition to exercise of any Award, a Recipient shall certify on a
form acceptable to the Company that he or she is in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Plan and any applicable Award Document and has not done
any of the things described in this Section 5.15. Furthermore, if a Recipient
does any of the things described in this Section 5.15 within 180 days after any
exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an Award, the Company may rescind
such exercise, payment or delivery. The Company shall notify the Recipient in
writing of any such rescission within two years after such exercise, payment or
delivery. Within ten days after receiving such notice from the Company, a
Recipient shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment
received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to
an Award. Such payment shall be made by returning to the Company all shares of
capital stock that the Recipient received in connection with the rescinded
exercise, payment or delivery, or if such shares have been transferred by the
Recipient, then by paying the equivalent value thereof at the time of their
transfer to the Company in cash. To assist in enforcement of the Company’s
rescission right described above, the Company may, in its discretion, retain
any Common Stock or other consideration otherwise deliverable to a Recipient in
connection with an Award until the rescission period described above has
lapsed.

 

5.16        Limits on Awards to
Eligible Persons.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, no one Eligible Person shall be granted
awards with respect to more than 200,000 shares of Common Stock in any one
calendar year, provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if it is
not required in order for the compensation attributable to Awards hereunder to
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. The limitation set forth in this
Section 5.16 will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4 or under
Article VIII, but only to the extent such adjustment would not affect the
status of compensation attributable to Awards as Performance-Based
Compensation.

 

ARTICLE VI

6.1          Stock Options.

 

(a)           Nature of Stock
Options.  Stock Options may be Incentive

Price.  The exercise price for each
Stock Option will be determined by the Administrator as of the date such Stock
Option is granted.

 

12

 

(c)           Option Period and
Vesting.  Stock Options granted
hereunder will vest and may be exercised as determined by the Administrator, except
that exercise of Stock Options after termination of the Recipient’s employment
or service shall be subject to Section 5.12 and Section 6.1(e). Each Stock
Option granted hereunder and all rights or obligations thereunder shall expire
on such date as may be determined by the Administrator, but not later than ten
(10) years after the date the Stock Option is granted and may be subject to
earlier termination as provided herein or in the Award Document. Except as
otherwise provided herein, a Stock Option will become exercisable, as a whole
or in part, on the date or dates specified by the Administrator and thereafter
will remain exercisable until the exercise, expiration or earlier termination
of the Stock Option.

 

(d)           Exercise of Stock
Options.  The exercise price for Stock
Options will be paid as set forth in Section 5.3. No Stock Option will be
exercisable except in respect of whole shares, and fractional share interests
shall be disregarded. Not fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock (or such other
amount as may be set forth in the applicable Award Document) may be purchased
at one time and Stock Options must be exercised in multiples of 100 unless the
number purchased is the total number of shares for which the Stock Option is
exercisable at the time of exercise. A Stock Option will be deemed to be
exercised when the Secretary or other designated official of the Company
receives written notice of such exercise from the Recipient in the form of
Exhibit A hereto or such other form as the Company may specify from time to
time, together with payment of the exercise price in accordance with Section
5.3 and any amounts required under Section 5.10 or, with permission of the
Administrator, arrangement for such payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, the Administrator may impose, by rule and/or in Award
Documents, such conditions upon the exercise of Stock Options (including,
without limitation, conditions limiting the time of exercise to specified
periods) as may be required to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements,
including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange
Act, and any amounts required under Section 5.10, or any applicable section of
or regulation under the IRC.

 

(e)           Termination of
Employment.

 

(i)            Termination for Just
Cause.  Subject to Section 5.12 and
except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or an
Affiliated Entity and the Recipient, which may be entered into at any time
before or after termination of employment or service, in the event of a Just
Cause Dismissal of a Recipient all of the Recipient’s unexercised Stock
Options, whether or not vested, will expire and become unexercisable as of the
date of such Just Cause Dismissal.

 

(ii)           Termination Other Than
for Just Cause.  Subject to Section 5.12
and except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or
an Affiliated Entity and the Recipient, which may be entered into at any time
before or after termination of employment or service, if a Recipient’s employment
or service with the Company or any Affiliated Entity terminates for:

 

(A)          any reason other than
for Just Cause Dismissal, death, Permanent Disability or Retirement, the
Recipient’s Stock Options, whether or not vested, will expire and become
unexercisable as of the earlier of: (1) the date such Stock Options would

 

13

 

expire in accordance with their terms had the
Recipient remained employed; and (2) 30 days after the date of termination of
employment or service.

 

(B)           Death or Permanent
Disability or Retirement, the Recipient’s unexercised Stock Options will,
whether or not vested, expire and become unexercisable as of the earlier of:
(1) the date such Stock Options would expire in accordance with their terms had
the Recipient remained employed; and (2) 180 days after the date of termination
of employment or service.

 

(f)            Special Provisions
Regarding Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary,

 

(i)            The exercise price and
vesting period of any Stock Option intended to be treated as an Incentive Stock
Option must comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the IRC and the
regulations thereunder. As of the Effective Date, such provisions require,
among other matters, that: (A) the exercise price must not be less than the
Fair Market Value of the underlying stock as of the date the Incentive Stock
Option is granted, and not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value as of such
date in the case of a grant to a Significant Stockholder; and (B) that the
Incentive Stock Option not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10)
years from the date of grant or the expiration of five (5) years from the date
of grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Significant
Stockholder.

 

(ii)           The aggregate Fair
Market Value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the
Common Stock for which one or more Stock Options granted to any Recipient under
this Plan (or any other option plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Stock
Options under the federal tax laws during any one calendar year may not exceed
$100,000.

 

(iii)          Any Stock Options
granted as Incentive Stock Options pursuant to this Plan that for any reason
fail or cease to qualify as such will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
If the limit described in Section 6.1(f)(ii) is exceeded, the earliest granted
Stock Options will be treated as Incentive Stock Options, up to such limit.

 

(g)           Non-Employee Director
Options. Article VII will govern Non-Employee Director Options to the extent
inconsistent with this Section 6.1.

 

6.2          Performance Awards.

 

(a)           Grant of Performance
Award.  The Administrator will determine
in its discretion the performance criteria (which need not be identical and may
be established on an individual or group basis) governing Performance Awards,
the terms thereof, and the form and time of payment of Performance Awards.

 

(b)           Payment of Award.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions
applicable to a Performance Award, payment will be made to the Recipient in
cash, in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the date
payment is due, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as the
Administrator in its discretion may determine.

 

14

 

6.3          Restricted Stock.

 

(a)           Award of Restricted
Stock.  The Administrator will determine
the Purchase Price (if any), the terms of payment of the Purchase Price, the
restrictions upon the Restricted Stock, and when such restrictions will lapse.

 

(b)           Requirements of
Restricted Stock.  All shares of
Restricted Stock granted or sold pursuant to this Plan will be subject to the
following conditions:

 

(i)            No Transfer.  The shares may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or
encumbered until the restrictions are removed or expire;

 

(ii)           Certificates.  The Administrator may require that the
certificates representing Restricted Stock granted or sold to a Recipient
remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder or the Company until all
restrictions are removed or expire;

 

(iii)          Restrictive
Legends.  Each certificate representing
Restricted Stock granted or sold to a Recipient pursuant to this Plan will bear
such legend or legends making reference to the restrictions imposed upon such
Restricted Stock as the Administrator in its discretion deems necessary or
appropriate to enforce such restrictions; and

 

(iv)          Other Restrictions.  The Administrator may impose such other
conditions on Restricted Stock as the Administrator may deem advisable,
including, without limitation, restrictions under the Securities Act, under the
Exchange Act, under the requirements of any stock exchange or interdealer quotation
system upon which such Restricted Stock or other securities of the Company are
then listed or traded and under any blue sky or other securities laws
applicable to such shares.

 

(c)           Lapse of
Restrictions.  The restrictions imposed
upon Restricted Stock will lapse in accordance with such terms or other
conditions as are determined by the Administrator.

 

(d)           Rights of
Recipient.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.3(b) and any restrictions imposed upon the Restricted Stock, the
Recipient will have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted
Stock granted or sold to such Recipient under this Plan, including, without
limitation, the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other
distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

 

(e)           Termination of
Employment.  Unless the Administrator in
its discretion determines otherwise, if a Recipient’s employment or service
with the Company or any Affiliated Entity terminates for any reason, all of the
Recipient’s Restricted Stock remaining subject to restrictions on the date of
such termination of employment or service will be repurchased by the Company at
the Purchase Price (if any) paid by the Recipient to the Company, without
interest or premium, and otherwise returned to the Company without
consideration.

 

15

 

6.4          Stock Appreciation
Rights.

 

(a)           Granting of Stock
Appreciation Rights.  The Administrator
may at any time and from time to time approve the grant to Eligible Persons of
Stock Appreciation Rights, related or unrelated to Stock Options.

 

(b)           SARs Related to
Options.

 

(i)            A Stock Appreciation
Right related to a Stock Option will entitle the holder of the related Stock
Option, upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, to surrender such Stock
Option, or any portion thereof to the extent previously vested but unexercised,
with respect to the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right
is exercised, and to receive payment of an amount computed pursuant to Section
6.4(b)(iii). Such Stock Option will, to the extent surrendered, then cease to
be exercisable.

 

(ii)           A Stock Appreciation
Right related to a Stock Option hereunder will be exercisable at such time or
times, and only to the extent that, the related Stock Option is exercisable,
and will not be transferable except to the extent that such related Stock
Option may be transferable (and under the same conditions), will expire no
later than the expiration of the related Stock Option, and may be exercised
only when the market price of the Common Stock subject to the related Stock
Option exceeds the exercise price of the Stock Option.

 

(iii)          Upon the exercise of a
Stock Appreciation Right related to a Stock Option, the Recipient will be
entitled to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying: (A) the
difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price of a share of Common
Stock specified in the related Stock Option from the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right
(or as of such other date or as of the occurrence of such event as may have
been specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of the Stock Appreciation
Right), by (B) the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised.

 

(c)           SARs Unrelated to
Options.  The Administrator may grant
Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Stock Options. Section 6.4(b)(iii) will
govern the amount payable at exercise under such Stock Appreciation Right,
except that in lieu of an option exercise price the initial base amount
specified in the Award shall be used.

 

(d)           Limits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator, in its discretion, may place a dollar limitation on the maximum
amount that will be payable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(e)           Payments.  Payment of the amount determined under the
foregoing provisions may be made solely in whole shares of Common Stock valued
at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation
Right or, alternatively, at the discretion of the Administrator, in cash or in
a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as the Administrator deems
advisable. The Administrator has full discretion to determine the form in which
payment of a Stock Appreciation Right will be made and to consent to or
disapprove the election of a Recipient to receive cash in full or partial
settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right.

 

16

 

If the Administrator decides to make full
payment in shares of Common Stock, and the amount payable results in a
fractional share, payment for the fractional share will be made in cash.

 

6.5          Stock Payments.

 

The
Administrator may approve Stock Payments to any Eligible Person on such terms
and conditions as the Administrator may determine. Stock Payments will replace
cash compensation at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
payment is due.

 

6.6          Dividend Equivalents.

 

The
Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalents to any Recipient who has received
a Stock Option, SAR or other Award denominated in shares of Common Stock.
Dividend Equivalents may be paid in cash, Common Stock or other Awards; the
amount of Dividend Equivalents paid other than in cash will be determined by
the Administrator by application of such formula as the Administrator may deem
appropriate to translate the cash value of dividends paid to the alternative
form of payment of the Dividend Equivalent. Dividend Equivalents will be
computed as of each dividend record date and will be payable to recipients
thereof at such time as the Administrator may determine. However, if it is
intended that an Award qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, and the
amount of compensation the Eligible Person could receive under the Award is based
solely on an increase in value of the underlying stock after the date of the
grant or Award, then the payment of any Dividend Equivalents related to the
Award shall not be made contingent on the exercise of the Award.

 

6.7          Stock Bonuses.

 

The
Administrator may issue Stock Bonuses to Eligible Persons on such terms and
conditions as the Administrator may determine.

 

6.8          Stock Sales.

 

The
Administrator may sell to Eligible Persons shares of Common Stock on such terms
and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

 

6.9          Phantom Stock.

 

The
Administrator may grant Awards of Phantom Stock to Eligible Persons. Phantom
Stock is a cash payment measured by the Fair Market Value of a specified number
of shares of Common Stock on a specified date, or measured by the excess of
such Fair Market Value over a specified minimum, which may but need not include
a Dividend Equivalent.

 

6.10        Other Stock-Based
Benefits.

 

The
Administrator is authorized to grant Other Stock-Based Benefits. Other
Stock-Based Benefits are any arrangements granted under this Plan not otherwise
described above that: (a) by their terms might involve the issuance or sale of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company; or (b) involve a benefit that
is measured, as a whole or in part, by the value,

 

17

 

appreciation, dividend yield or other
features attributable to a specified number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company.

 

ARTICLE VII

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR OPTIONS

 

7.1          Initial Grant of Stock
Options.

 

Each
Non-Employee Director shall, upon first becoming a Non-Employee Director,
receive a one-time grant of an option to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock (an “Initial Option”) at an exercise price per share
equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of
grant, subject to: (a) vesting as set forth in Section 7.3, and (b) adjustment
as set forth in this Plan.

 

7.2          Annual Grants of Stock
Options.

 

Immediately
following the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company next following a
Non-Employee Director’s becoming a Non-Employee Director, and immediately
following each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, in
each case if the Non-Employee Director has served as a director since his or
her election or appointment and has been re-elected as a director at such
annual meeting, such Non-Employee Director shall automatically receive an
option to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (an “Additional
Option”). In addition to the Additional Options described above, an individual
who was previously a Non-Employee Director and received an initial grant of
stock options under this Plan or pursuant to a prior option plan for the
Company’s directors, who then ceased to be a director for any reason, and who
then again becomes a Non-Employee Director, shall upon again becoming a
Non-Employee Director automatically receive an Additional Option. The exercise
price per share for all Additional Options shall be equal to the Fair Market
Value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, subject to: (a)
vesting as set forth in Section 7.3, and (b) adjustment as set forth in this
Plan.

 

7.3          Vesting.

 

Initial
Options shall vest and become exercisable (a) 50% upon the earlier of (i) the
first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) immediately prior to the first
annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the grant date, if the
Recipient has remained a Non-Employee Director for the entire period from the
date of grant to such earlier date; and (b) 50% upon the earlier of (i) the
second anniversary of the grant date or (ii) immediately prior to the second
annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the date of grant to
such earlier date. Additional Options shall vest and become exercisable with
respect to all underlying shares upon the earlier of (y) the first anniversary
of the grant date or (z) immediately prior to the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company next following the grant date, if the Recipient has
remained a Non-Employee Director for the entire period from the date of grant
to such earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Initial Options
and Additional Options that have not vested and become exercisable at the time
the Recipient ceases to be a director shall terminate.

 

18

 

7.4          Exercise.

 

Non-Employee
Director Options will be exercisable, and the exercise price therefor shall be
paid, in the same manner as provided herein for other Stock Options.

 

7.5          Term of Options and
Effect of Termination.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, no Non-Employee Director Option granted under
the Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the effective
date of its grant. In the event that the recipient of any Non-Employee Director
Options granted under the Plan shall cease to be a director of the Company, (a)
all Initial Options granted under this plan to such recipient shall be
exercisable, to the extent already exercisable at the date such recipient
ceases to be a director and regardless of the reason the recipient ceases to be
a director, for a period of 365 days after that date (or, if sooner, until the
expiration of the option according to its terms), and shall then terminate; and
(b) all Additional Options granted under this Plan to such recipient shall be
exercisable, to the extent already exercisable at the date such recipient
ceases to be a director, for a period of 365 days after that date (or, if
sooner, until the expiration of the option according to its terms) if he or she
ceases to be a director because of death or permanent disability, or for a
period of 90 days after that date (or, if sooner, until the expiration of the
option according to its terms) if he or she ceases to be a director for any
other reason, and shall then terminate. In the event of the death of a
Recipient while such Recipient is a director of the Company or within the
period after termination of such status during which he or she is permitted to
exercise an option, such option may be exercised by any person or persons
designated by the Recipient on a beneficiary designation form adopted by the
Plan administrator for such purpose or, if there is no effective beneficiary
designation form on file with the Company, by the executors or administrators
of the Recipient’s estate or by any person or persons who shall have acquired
the option directly from the Recipient by his or her will or the applicable
laws of descent and distribution.

 

7.6          Amendment; Suspension.

 

The
Administrator may at any time and from time to time in its discretion (a)
change the number of shares or vesting periods associated with the Non-Employee
Director Options, and (b) suspend and reactivate this Article VII.

 

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

8.1          Provision for Awards
Upon Change in Control.

 

As
of the effective time and date of any Change in Control, this Plan and any then
outstanding Awards (whether or not vested) will automatically terminate unless:
(a) provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
continuance of this Plan and for the assumption of such Awards, or for the
substitution for such Awards of new awards covering the securities of a
successor entity or an affiliate thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to
the number and kind of securities and exercise prices or other measurement
criteria, in which event this Plan and such outstanding Awards will continue or
be replaced, as the case may be, in the

 

19

 

manner and under the terms so provided; or
(b) the Board otherwise provides in writing for such adjustments as it deems
appropriate in the terms and conditions of the then-outstanding Awards (whether
or not vested), including, without limitation, (i) accelerating the vesting of
outstanding Awards, and/or (ii) providing for the cancellation of Awards and
their automatic conversion into the right to receive the securities, cash or
other consideration that a holder of the shares underlying such Awards would
have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Change in Control had
such shares been issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date
and time of the Change in Control (net of the appropriate option exercise
prices). If, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, this
Plan and the Awards terminate by reason of the occurrence of a Change in
Control without provision for any of the action(s) described in clause (a) or
(b) hereof, then subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.15, any Recipient holding
outstanding Awards will have the right, at such time prior to the consummation
of the Change in Control as the Board designates, to exercise or receive the
full benefit of the Recipient’s Awards to the full extent not theretofore
exercised, including any installments which have not yet become vested.

 

8.2          Termination of
Employment in Connection With a Change in Control.

 

(a)           Acceleration of
Awards.  If a Change in Control occurs
and provision for Awards is made as described in part (a) or (b) of Section 8.1
such that a Recipient continues to own Awards or replacement awards, but in
connection with such Change in Control the Recipient’s employment with the
Company or an Affiliated Entity is terminated by the Company or an Affiliated
Entity as described in Section 8.2(b), then, subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.15
and the terms of any written employment agreement between the Company or any
Affiliated Entity and the Recipient and the specific terms of any Award, such
Recipient will have the right to exercise or receive the full benefit of the
Recipient’s Awards during the applicable time period provided in Section 5.12,
without regard to any vesting or performance requirements or other milestones.

 

(b)           Employment
Termination.  For purposes of this
Section, and subject to any separate written agreement binding upon the
Company, a Recipient’s employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity
will be deemed to have been terminated in connection with a Change in Control
if: (i) the Recipient is removed from the Recipient’s employment by, or resigns
the Recipient’s employment upon the request of, a Person exercising practical
voting control over the Company following the Change in Control or a person
acting upon authority or at the instruction of such Person; or (ii) the
Recipient’s position is eliminated as a result of a reduction in force made to
reduce over-capacity or unnecessary duplication of personnel within 180 days
after the consummation of the Change in Control and the Recipient is not
offered a replacement position with compensation substantially similar to the
compensation in effect immediately before the Change in Control. Unless
otherwise provided in a written agreement with the Company or any Affiliated
Entity, assignment of a Recipient to different duties or reporting will not be
deemed to constitute or justify termination of Recipient’s employment in
connection with the Change in Control.

shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple
of $500,000 (except that any such Revolving Credit Borrowing may be in the
aggregate amount of the Total Unused Revolving Credit Commitments) and shall be
made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.01, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section
2.09, prepay Revolving Credit Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01 at any
time before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

                  Section 2.02. Method of Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans.

                  (a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice in
         the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (a "Notice of Borrowing") (a)
         prior to 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time), on the Domestic
         Business Day of each Base Rate Borrowing, (b) at least three (3)
         Eurocurrency Business Days before each Eurocurrency Borrowing
         denominated in Dollars, and (c) at least four (4) Eurocurrency Business
         Days before each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternate
         Currency, specifying:

                  (i) the date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing, which shall be
         a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a
         Eurocurrency Business Day in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

                  (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Borrowing;

                  (iii) the Currency in which the Revolving Credit Borrowing
         shall be denominated; and

                  (iv) if such Loan is denominated in Dollars, whether the
         Revolving Credit Loans comprising a Revolving Credit Borrowing are to
         be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, and the duration of the
         Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the
         definition of Interest Period.

                  (b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative
         Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

         such Lender's ratable share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, and
         such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the
         Borrower.

                  (c) Not later than (i) 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina
         time) on the date of each Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars or (ii)
         11:00 A.M. (London, England time) on the date of each Revolving Credit
         Borrowing in an Alternate Currency, referenced in the Notice of
         Borrowing, each Lender shall (except as provided in subsection (d) of
         this Section) make available its ratable share of such Revolving Credit
         Borrowing, in the Currency referenced in the Notice of Borrowing in
         funds immediately available in Charlotte, North Carolina, or London,
         England, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent at its address
         referred to in or specified pursuant to Section 10.01. Unless the
         Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified
         in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will
         make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower
         at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address. Unless the
         Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
         the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
         available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
         Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
         made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section
         2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
         Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in
         fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
         Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
         severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
         such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
         including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
         excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
         the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
         Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
         Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
         interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by
         the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the
         Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative
         Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent
         shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid
         by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
         applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so
         paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.
         Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the
         Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
         payment to the Administrative Agent.

                  (d) If any Lender makes a new Revolving Credit Loan hereunder
         on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any part of an
         outstanding Revolving Credit Loan from such Lender, such Lender shall
         apply the proceeds of its new Revolving Credit Loan to make such
         repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between
         the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made
         available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided in
         subsection (c) of this Section, or remitted by the Borrower to the
         Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.11, as the case may be.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
         Agreement, no Eurocurrency Borrowing may be made if there shall have
         occurred a Default or an Event of Default, which Default or Event of
         Default shall not have been cured or waived in writing.

                  (f) In the event that a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify
         whether the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit
         Borrowing are denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency,
         Revolving Credit Loans shall be denominated in Dollars. In the event
         that a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify whether the Revolving
         Credit Loans comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing are to be Base
         Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, such Revolving Credit Loans
         denominated in Dollars shall be made as Base Rate Loans. If no Interest
         Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency
         Borrowing, (i) if such Borrowing is to be denominated in Dollars (or as
         to which no Currency has been specified), the requested Eurocurrency
         Loan shall be made instead as a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) if such
         Eurocurrency Borrowing is to be denominated in an Alternate Currency,
         the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
         month's duration. If the Borrower is otherwise entitled under this
         Agreement to repay any Revolving Credit Loans maturing at the end of an
         Interest Period applicable thereto with the proceeds of a new Revolving
         Credit Borrowing and the Borrower fails to repay such Revolving Credit
         Loans using its own moneys and fails to give a Notice of Borrowing in
         connection with a new corresponding Revolving Credit Borrowing, a new
         Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be deemed to be made on the date such
         Revolving Credit Loans mature in an amount equal to the principal
         amount in Dollars or the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof, as
         applicable, of the Revolving Credit Loans so maturing, and the
         Revolving Credit Loans comprising such new Revolving Credit Borrowing
         shall be Base Rate Loans.

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
         (i) there shall not be more than seven (7) different Interest Periods
         outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods
         described in different numbered clauses of the definition of the term
         "Interest Period" shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even
         if they are coterminous) applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans and
         (ii) the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that is a Base Rate
         Borrowing shall be applied first to repay the unpaid principal amount
         of all Revolving Credit Borrowings that are Base Rate Loans (if any)
         outstanding immediately before such Base Rate Borrowing.

                  Section 2.03. Notes.

                  (a) Upon request from a Lender, the Revolving Credit Loans of
         such Lender shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Credit Note
         payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Lending
         Office in an amount equal to the original principal amount of such
         Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment.

                  (b) Upon request from the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line
         Loans made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced
         by a single Swing Line Note payable to the order of the Swing Line
         Lender.

                  (c) Upon receipt of any Notes pursuant to Section 4.01, the
         Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to such Lender. Each
         Lender shall record, and prior to any transfer of its Notes shall
         endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to
         evidence, the date, amount and maturity of, Currency of, and effective
         interest rate for, each Revolving Credit Loan, made by it, the date and
         amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect
         thereto and whether, in the case of such Lender's Revolving Credit
         Note, such Revolving Credit Loan, is a Base Rate Loan or Eurocurrency
         Loan, and such schedule shall constitute rebuttable presumptive
         evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Lender's
         Notes; provided that the failure of any Lender to make, or any error in
         making, any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the
         obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the ability
         of any Lender to assign its Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably
         authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and
         make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when
         required.

                  (d) Upon receipt of (i) an affidavit of an officer of any
         Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of its
         Notes or any other security document held by such Lender that is not of
         public record and (ii) appropriate indemnification of the Borrower for
         any loss it may suffer with respect to any such Note or security
         document, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or
         mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note or other security document,
         the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other
         security document in the same principal amount and otherwise of like
         tenor.

                  Section 2.04. Maturity of Revolving Credit Loans. Each
         Revolving Credit Loan included in any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall
         mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on
         the first to occur of: (i) the last day of the Interest Period
         applicable to such Revolving Credit Borrowing; or (ii) the Revolving
         Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding
         principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans at any one time
         outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving
         Credit Commitments of all of the Lenders at such time.

                  Section 2.05. Interest Rates.

                  (a) "Applicable Margin" shall be determined quarterly based
         upon the Total Leverage Ratio (calculated as of the last day of each
         Fiscal Quarter), as follows:

            Total Leverage Ratio       Base Rate Loans       Eurocurrency Loans
            --------------------       ---------------       ------------------
     Tier I:  Greater than or
          equal to 3.5 to 1.0                1.75%                  3.00%

     Tier II:  Greater than or
          equal to 3.0 to 1.0 but
          less than 3.5 to 1.0               1.50%                  2.75%

     Tier III:  Greater than or
          equal to 2.5 to 1.0 but
          less than 3.0 to 1.0               1.25%                  2.50%

     Tier IV:  Less than 2.5 to
               1.0                           1.00%                  2.25%

The Applicable Margin shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the
"Rate Determination Date") which is 45 days after the last day of the Fiscal
Quarter as of the end of which the Total Leverage Ratio is being determined,
based on the quarterly financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter, and the
Applicable Margin so determined shall remain effective from such Rate
Determination Date until the date which is 45 days after the last day of the
Fiscal Quarter in which such Rate Determination Date falls (which latter date
shall be a new Rate Determination Date); provided that (i) for the period from
and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Rate Determination Date
next following the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2004, the Applicable Margin
shall be deemed to be Tier II, (ii) in the case of any Applicable Margin
determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a Fiscal Year, the Rate
Determination Date shall be the date which is 90 days after the last day of such
final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable Margin shall be determined based upon
the annual audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended on the last
day of such final Fiscal Quarter, and (iii) if on any Rate Determination Date
the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Lenders the financial
statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) with
respect to the Fiscal Year or Fiscal Quarter most recently ended prior to such
Rate Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Rate
Determination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the
Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders the financial statements to be delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01(b) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter or any
subsequent Fiscal Quarter, or (B) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver
to the Lenders annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year which includes such Fiscal
Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to
be Tier I at all times during such period. Any change in the Applicable Margin
on any Rate Determination Date shall result in a corresponding change, effective
on and as of such Rate Determination Date, in the interest rate applicable to
each Revolving Credit Loan outstanding on such Rate Determination Date; provided
that no Applicable Margin shall be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) if
a Default is in existence on such Rate Determination Date, unless and until such
Default shall have been cured or waived in writing.

                  (b) Each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall
         bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day
         from the date such Base Rate Loan is made until it becomes due, at a
         rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable
         Margin. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the
         last day thereof. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted
         by applicable law, overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan (excluding a
         Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day
         until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

                  (c) Each Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurocurrency Loan
         shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for
         the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to
         the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the applicable Adjusted London
         Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period plus the Mandatory
         Costs; provided that if any Eurocurrency Loan shall, as a result of
         clause (1)(c) of the definition of Interest Period, have an Interest
         Period of less than one month, such Eurocurrency Loan shall bear
         interest during such Interest Period at the rate applicable to Base
         Rate Loans during such period. Such interest shall be payable for each
         Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is
         longer than three (3) months, at intervals of three (3) months after
         the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent
         permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any Eurocurrency Loan
         shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full
         at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

                  The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any
Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded
upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) by dividing (i) the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period by (ii) 1.00
minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage.

                  The "London Interbank Offered Rate" means for any Eurocurrency
Loan in any Currency for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) appearing on
Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page) as the London interbank offered rate
for deposits in such Currency at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two (2)
Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period for a term
comparable to such Interest Period. If for any reason such rate is not
available, the term "London Interbank Offered Rate" shall mean, for any
Eurocurrency Loan for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum (rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) appearing on Reuters Screen
LIBO Page as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in Dollars at
approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day
of such Interest Period for a term comparable to such Interest Period; provided,
however, if more than one rate is specified on Reuters Screen LIBO Page, the
applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates (rounded upwards,
if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%). If, for any reason, neither of such
rates is available, then "London Interbank Offered Rate" shall mean the rate per

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

annum at which, as determined by the Administrative Agent, Dollars in an amount
comparable to the Loans then requested are being offered to leading banks at
approximately 11:00 A.M. London time, two (2) Business Days prior to the
commencement of the applicable Interest Period for settlement in immediately
available funds by leading banks in the London interbank market for a period
equal to the Interest Period selected.

         "Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage
(expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System in respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any
other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined or any category of extensions
of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of
any Bank to United States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate
shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in
the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage.

                  (d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest
         rate applicable to the Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans
         hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the
         Borrower and the Lenders by telecopy of each rate of interest so
         determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the
         absence of manifest error.

                  (e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a
         Default, the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (excluding
         any Swing Line Loans) (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
         all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of the Required
         Lenders, bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, that
         automatically whether or not the Required Lenders elect to do so, any
         overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
         interest on any Revolving Credit Loan (excluding any Swing Line Loan)
         shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day until paid at a
         rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. After the occurrence and
         during the continuance of a Default, the principal amount of the Swing
         Line Loans (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued
         interest thereon) may, at the election of the Swing Line Lender, bear
         interest at the Default Rate.

                  (f) Subject to Section 1.05 hereof, with respect to the
         Currency of any state that becomes a Participating Member State, the
         accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to
         such Currency shall be based upon the applicable convention or practice
         in the London Interbank Market for the basis of accrual of interest or
         fees in respect of the Euro, which such convention or practice shall
         replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which
         such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that if any
         Loan in the Currency of such state is outstanding immediately prior to
         such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such
         Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

                  (g) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
         outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the
         Base Rate. Such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date. Any
         overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

         overdue interest on the Swing Line Loans may, at the election of the
         Swing Line Lender, bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until
         paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

                  Section 2.06. Fees.

                  (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
         ratable account of each Lender a commitment fee equal to the product
         of: (i) the aggregate of the daily average amounts of such Lenders'
         Unused Revolving Credit Commitments during the applicable period, times
         (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee
         Rate. Such commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Effective
         Date to and including the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Commitment
         fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Payment Date
         following each Commitment Fee Determination Date and on the Revolving
         Credit Maturity Date; provided that should the Revolving Credit
         Commitments be terminated at any time prior to the Revolving Credit
         Maturity Date for any reason, the entire accrued and unpaid commitment
         fee through the date of termination shall be paid on the date of such
         termination. The "Applicable Commitment Fee Rate" shall be determined
         quarterly based upon the Total Leverage Ratio (calculated as of the
         last day of each Fiscal Quarter), as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
                       Total Leverage Ratio                         Applicable Commitment Fee Rate
                       --------------------                         ------------------------------
         Tier I:  Greater than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0                           0.625%

         Tier II:  Greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0
              but less than 3.5 to 1.0                                          0.500%

         Tier III:  Greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0
              but less than 3.0 to 1.0                                          0.500%

         Tier IV:  Less than 2.5 to 1.0                                         0.375%
</TABLE>

The Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined effective as of the date
(herein, the "Commitment Fee Determination Date") which is 45 days after the
last day of the Fiscal Quarter as of the end of which the Total Leverage Ratio
is being determined, based on the quarterly financial statements for such Fiscal
Quarter, and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate so determined shall remain
effective from such Commitment Fee Determination Date until the date which is 45
days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Commitment Fee
Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Commitment Fee
Determination Date); provided that (i) for the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the Commitment Fee Determination Date next
following the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2004, the Applicable Commitment Fee

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

Rate shall be deemed to be Tier II; (ii) in the case of any Applicable
Commitment Fee Rate determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a
Fiscal Year, the Commitment Fee Determination Date shall be the date which is 90
days after the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable
Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined based upon the annual audited financial
statements for the Fiscal Year ended on the last day of such final Fiscal
Quarter, and (iii) if on any Commitment Fee Determination Date the Borrower
shall have failed to deliver to the Lenders the financial statements required to
be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) with respect to the Fiscal
Year or Fiscal Quarter most recently ended prior to such Commitment Fee
Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Commitment Fee
Determination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the
Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders the financial statements to be delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01(b) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter or any
subsequent Fiscal Quarter, and (B) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver
to the Lenders annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year which includes such Fiscal
Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall
be deemed to be Tier I during such period; provided that the Applicable
Commitment Fee Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) if a
Default is in existence on the related Commitment Fee Determination Date, unless
and until such Default shall have been cured or waived in writing.

                  (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
         the account and sole benefit of the Administrative Agent, such fees and
         other amounts at such times as set forth in the Administrative Agent's
         Letter Agreement.

                  Section 2.07. Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving
Credit Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Domestic Business
Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate at any time, or
proportionately reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of at least
$5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Alternate Currency
Equivalent of such amount), the Revolving Credit Commitments, including, if
appropriate, the Alternate Currency Commitment; provided, however, no such
termination or reduction shall be in an amount greater than the Total Unused
Revolving Credit Commitments on the date of such termination or reduction after
giving effect to any repayment or prepayment made on such date. If the Revolving
Credit Commitments are terminated in their entirety, all accrued fees (as
provided under Section 2.06(a)) shall be payable on the effective date of such
termination.

                  Section 2.08. Mandatory Reduction and Termination of
Commitments.

                  (a) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Revolving Credit
         Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and
         any Revolving Credit Loan then outstanding (together with accrued
         interest thereon) shall be due and payable in full on such date.

                  (b) Additional Reductions to Revolving Credit Commitments.

                  (1) On each occasion that the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall issue any Stock, the Borrower shall immediately give the
notice required by Section 2.08(c) on the date of such issuance and on the date
which is three (3) Eurocurrency Business Days after the date of the Borrower's
or Subsidiary's, as the case may be, receipt of the Net Proceeds of Stock, the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced, in accordance with
Section 2.08(b)(5), in an amount equal to 50% of the Net Proceeds of Stock
except for Net Proceeds of Stock invested in any Acquisition.

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

                  (2) In the event and on each occasion of a sale, lease,
transfer or other disposition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any real or
personal property (including, without limitation, the sale, lease, transfer or
other disposition of assets pursuant to a Sale/Leaseback Transaction) other than
in the ordinary course of business (each, a "Disposition"), then simultaneously
with each such Disposition, the Borrower shall immediately give the notice
required by Section 2.08(c), and on the date which is three (3) Eurocurrency
Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Disposition Proceeds from
such Disposition, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically
reduced in accordance with Section 2.08(b)(5) in an amount equal to 100% of the
Net Disposition Proceeds unless such Net Disposition Proceeds are invested in a
similar or like asset within 270 days of receipt. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be
reduced pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(2) by the proceeds from Dispositions by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any real or personal property resulting in Net
Disposition Proceeds in an amount less than (i) $1,000,000 for any single
Disposition and (ii) $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Dispositions permitted
under clause (i), so long as an amount equal to the Net Disposition Proceeds is
invested in manufacturing and production assets consistent with the Borrower's
or such Subsidiary's lines of business or Permitted Acquisitions within 270 days
of receipt.

                  (3) In the event there shall occur any casualty or
condemnation with respect to any real or personal property of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries and if pursuant to Section 6.28 the proceeds arising from such
casualty or condemnation are required to be used to reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments, then the Borrower shall immediately give the notice required by
Section 2.08(c), and not more than three (3) Eurocurrency Business Days after
such notice, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced, in
accordance with Section 2.08(b)(5) in an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds
unless such Net Disposition Proceeds are invested in the repair or replacement
of the damaged properties within 270 days of receipt.

                  (4) On each occasion that the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall incur any additional Debt, other than the incurrence of
Consolidated Senior Debt permitted pursuant to Section 6.10, subordinated debt
for financing Permitted Acquisitions or Subordinated Debt, the Borrower shall
immediately give the notice required by Section 2.08(c) on the date of such
incurrence and on the date which is three (3) Eurocurrency Business Days after
the date of the Borrower's or Subsidiary's, as the case may be, receipt of the
Net Proceeds of Debt, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically
reduced, in accordance with Section 2.08(b)(5), in an amount equal to 100% of
the Net Proceeds of Debt.

                  (5) Any reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant
to Section 2.08(b) shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments
of the several Lenders ratably. No mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments pursuant to any paragraph of this Section 2.08(b) shall reduce the
amount of any subsequent mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments
pursuant to such paragraph or any other paragraph of this Section 2.08(b).

                  (6) Any reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant
to Section 2.08(b) shall be applied to reduce the Alternate Currency Commitments

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

ratably in accordance with the relative amount of the Alternate Currency
Commitment and the Revolving Credit Commitment.

                  (c) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written
notice of any mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, including
the Alternate Currency Commitment, to be made pursuant to paragraph (1), (2),
(3) or (4) of Section 2.08(b), specifying the date of such reduction, the amount
of such reduction and that such reduction is being made pursuant to Section
2.08(b) (and specifying the paragraph of Section 2.08(b) pursuant to which such
reduction is being made). Any such notice is irrevocable, once given. Any and
all reductions to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Alternate Currency
Commitments under this Agreement shall be permanent and irrevocable.

                  Section 2.09. Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.

                  (a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Domestic Business
         Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Revolving Credit
         Loan that is a Base Rate Borrowing (excluding a Swing Line Loan) in
         whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating
         at least $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000, by paying the
         principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon
         to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be
         applied to prepay ratably the Revolving Credit Loans of the several
         Lenders included in such Base Rate Borrowing; provided that except as
         provided in and subject to the terms of Section 2.08(b) and (c), such
         prepayment shall be applied as directed by the Borrower.

                  (b) Subject to any payments required pursuant to the terms of
         Section 9.07, the Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Eurocurrency
         Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to
         Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in Dollars, and upon at least four
         (4) Eurocurrency Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent with
         respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in an Alternate
         Currency, prepay any Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurocurrency
         Borrowing denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency in whole at
         any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least
         $2,500,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000 (or the Alternate
         Currency Equivalent of such amount), by paying the principal amount to
         be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of
         prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay
         ratably the Revolving Credit Loans of the several Lenders included in
         such Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that except as provided in and
         subject to the terms of Section 2.08(b) and (c), such prepayment shall
         be applied as directed by the Borrower.

                  (c) The Borrower may prepay any Swing Line Loan in whole at
         any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least
         $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof by paying the principal amount
         to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of
         prepayment.

                  (d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this
         Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
         the contents thereof and of such Lender's ratable share of such

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

         prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
         Borrower.

                  Section 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments.

                  (a) On each date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are
         reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.07 or Section 2.08, the
         Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding
         Revolving Credit Loans, if any (together with interest accrued thereon
         and any amounts due under Section 9.07(a)), in an amount equal to the
         lesser of (i) the amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitments were
         so reduced or (ii) the aggregate amount of the then outstanding
         Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letter of Credit
         Obligations. In any event, on any date that the aggregate amount of the
         then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letter of
         Credit Obligations exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
         Commitments, the Borrower shall repay or prepay Revolving Credit Loans
         as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate amount of
         the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and
         Letter of Credit Obligations does not exceed the aggregate amount of
         the Revolving Credit Commitments.

         Subject to paragraph (b) below, each such payment or prepayment shall
         be applied to repay or prepay ratably the Revolving Credit Loans of the
         several Lenders, then the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender,
         and finally, the Letter of Credit Obligations.

                  (b) On any date that the aggregate amount, based on the Dollar
         Equivalent of the then outstanding Alternate Currency Loans, (i) solely
         because of currency fluctuation, exceeds one hundred and five percent
         (105%) of the Alternate Currency Commitment or (ii) for any other
         reason, exceeds the Alternate Currency Commitment, the Borrower shall
         repay or prepay Alternate Currency Loans as may be necessary so that
         after such payment the aggregate amount of the then outstanding
         Alternate Currency Loans, based on the Dollar Equivalent, does not
         exceed the Alternate Currency Commitment.

                  Section 2.11. General Provisions as to Payments.

                  (a) (1) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of,
         and interest on, the Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in
         immediately available funds denominated in Dollars and of Reimbursement
         Obligations and commitment fees hereunder, in Dollars not later than
         12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due, to
         the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01,
         and any such payment to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
         this Section 2.11 shall satisfy in full the Borrower's obligation to
         make such payment hereunder. The Administrative Agent will promptly
         distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment
         received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

                       (2) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of,
          and interest on, the Alternate Currency Loans in immediately available
          funds in such Alternate Currency not later than 11:00 A.M.(London,
          England time) on the date when due, to the Administrative Agent at its
          address referred to in Section 10.01, and any such payment to the

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

          Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall
          satisfy in full the Borrower's obligation to make such payment
          hereunder. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
          Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the
          Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

                       (3) Anything in Sections 2.05, 2.11 or 2.13 to the
          contrary notwithstanding, and without prejudice to Sections 2.05(e) or
          7.01, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal or interest
          denominated in an Alternate Currency within one (1) Eurocurrency
          Business Day after the due date therefor in the case of principal and
          three (3) Eurocurrency Business Days after the due date therefor in
          the case of interest (without giving effect to any acceleration of
          maturity under Article VII), the amount so in default shall
          automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the day one (1) Domestic
          Business Day after the due date therefor in the case of a principal
          payment and three (3) Domestic Business Days after the due date
          therefor in the case of an interest payment in an amount equal to the
          Dollar Equivalent of such principal or interest.

                  (b) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
         Base Rate Loans or of Reimbursement Obligations or fees shall be due on
         a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment
         thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.
         Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurocurrency
         Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Eurocurrency Business Day,
         the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
         Eurocurrency Business Day unless such Eurocurrency Business Day falls
         in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof
         shall be the next preceding Eurocurrency Business Day. If the date for
         any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise,
         interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

                  (c) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
         the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made
         free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
         Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall
         be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
         (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum
         payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
         required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
         payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
         Lender, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount
         equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
         made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
         Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
         Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (d) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (c) above,
         the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
         Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (e) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
         Swing Line Lender, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days
         after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
         Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
         asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

         by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
         case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
         arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
         Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
         asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
         the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
         Lender, The Swing Line Lender, or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the
         Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
         or on behalf of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank,
         shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                  (f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
         Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the
         Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
         certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
         evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
         other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent.

                  (g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from
         or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
         which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which
         such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or
         under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
         copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
         applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
         Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
         documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments
         to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
         addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the
         Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
         by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
         Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative
         Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
         withholding or information reporting requirements.

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event
that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America,
any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:

                  (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
         W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
         which the United States of America is a party,

                  (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
         W-8ECI,

                  (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of
         the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code,
         (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a
         "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

         "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of section
         881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation"
         described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed
         copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

                  (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
         for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
         withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
         documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
         Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

                  (h) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank
         has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
         been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower
         has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to
         the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
         indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
         under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
         to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
         Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
         be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
         Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the
         Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
         the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
         (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
         Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
         Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
         Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
         Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
         Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available
         its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it
         deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

                  (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
         from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
         Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank
         hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
         Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment
         on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
         assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case
         may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact
         made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the
         case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
         forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the
         Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including
         the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
         payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal
         Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
         in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

                  (j) With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in
         Euros, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or
         any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the
         consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any
         amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative

                                      -39-

         Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps
         to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such
         amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in
         Euros) to the account of the Borrower or any Lender in the Principal
         Financial Center in the Participating Member State which the Borrower
         or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have specified for such
         purpose. For the purposes of this paragraph, "all relevant steps" means
         all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the
         regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement
         system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for
         the purpose of clearing or settling payments in Euros.

                  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained
in this Section 2.11 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant or
Eligible Assignee, and any calculations required by such provisions (i) shall be
made based upon the circumstances of such Participant or Eligible Assignee, and
(ii) constitute a continuing agreement and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment in full or cancellation of the Loans.

                  Section 2.12. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). Interest on Eurocurrency Loans (other
than Alternate Currency Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling) shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days
elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period from and including the first day
thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Interest on Alternate Currency
Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated as to each
Interest Period from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the
last day thereof. Commitment fees and any other fees payable hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

                  Section 2.13. Redenomination of Alternate Currency Loans

                   (a) Conversion to the Base Rate. If any Alternate Currency
         Loan is required to bear interest based at the Base Rate rather than
         the London Interbank Offered Rate pursuant to Section 2.05(e), Article
         IX or any other applicable provision hereof, such Loan shall be funded
         in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such
         Alternate Currency Loan, all subject to the provisions of Section 2.09.
         The Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders upon any such conversion for
         any amounts required to be paid under Section 10.03.

                  (b) Redenomination of Loans. Subject to Section 1.05 hereof,
         any Loan to be denominated in the Currency of the applicable
         Participating Member State shall be made in the Euro.

                   (c) Redenomination of Obligations. Subject to Section 1.05
         hereof, any obligation of any party under this Agreement or any other

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

         Loan Document which has been denominated in the Currency of a
         Participating Member State shall be redenominated into the Euro.

                   (d) Further Assurances. The terms and provisions of this
         Agreement will be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as
         determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect the implementation of
         the EMU in any Participating Member State or any market conventions
         relating to the fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or
         replaced and to reflect market practice at that time, and subject
         thereto, to put the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower
         in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been if
         such implementation had not occurred. In connection therewith, Borrower
         agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, at the time of or
         at any time following the implementation of the EMU in any
         Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the
         fixing and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced, to
         enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the
         Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

                  Section 2.14. Swing Line Loans.

                  (a) The Borrower may prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
         Date, as set forth in this Section, request the Swing Line Lender to
         make, and the Swing Line Lender prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
         Date will make, Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in Dollars, in an
         aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding, not exceeding
         $10,000,000, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Swing
         Line Loans, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
         all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit
         Obligations, at any one time outstanding shall not at any one time
         exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all
         of the Lenders at such time.

                  (b) When the Borrower wishes to request a Swing Line Loan, it
         shall give the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of
         Exhibit O hereto (a "Swing Line Loan Request") so as to be received no
         later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on or before the
         date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing proposed therein (or such
         other time and date as the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may
         agree), specifying:

                  (i) the proposed date of such Swing Line Borrowing, which
         shall be a Domestic Business Day (the "Borrowing Date"); and

                  (ii) the aggregate amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, which
         shall be at least $100,000 (or in larger multiples of $100,000) but
         shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.14(a) to be violated.

                  (c) The Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of such Swing
         Line Loan available to the Borrower on such date by depositing the
         same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower
         maintained with the Swing Line Lender.

                                      -41-

                  (d) Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement,
         the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.14, prepay and reborrow
         under this Section 2.14 at any time before the Revolving Credit
         Maturity Date. Each Swing Line Loan included in any Swing Line
         Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due
         and payable, on the first to occur of: (i) demand by the Swing Line
         Lender that such Swing Line Loan be converted to a Revolving Credit
         Loan; or (ii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

                  (e) At any time, upon the request of the Swing Line Lender,
         each Lender other than the Swing Line Lender shall, on the third
         Domestic Business Day after such request is made, purchase a
         participating interest in Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its
         ratable share (based upon its respective Revolving Credit Commitment)
         of such Swing Line Loans. On such third Domestic Business Day, each
         Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in
         immediately available funds, the amount of its participation. Whenever,
         at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any such
         Lender its participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the
         Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the
         Administrative Agent 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); provided,
         however, that in the event that such payment received by the
         Administrative Agent is required to be returned, such Lender will
         return to the Administrative Agent any portion thereof previously
         distributed by the Administrative Agent to it. Each Lender's obligation
         to purchase such participating interests shall be absolute and
         unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including,
         without limitation: (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
         or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against
         the Swing Line Lender requesting such purchase or any other Person for
         any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default
         or an Event of Default or the termination of the Revolving Credit
         Commitments, provided that no Lender shall be required to purchase a
         participating interest in any Swing Line Loan first advanced after the
         Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge of an Event of Default; (iii)
         any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
         Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the
         Borrower or any other Lender, provided that no Lender shall be required
         to purchase a participating interest in any Swing Line Loan, if the
         aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans exceeds
         $10,000,000; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
         whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
         the contrary, the Swing Line Loan facility contained in this Section
         2.14 shall terminate immediately upon: (i) Wachovia's removal or
         resignation as Administrative Agent; or (ii) termination of the
         Revolving Credit Commitments (whether at maturity or otherwise).

                  Section 3.01. Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Issuing Bank shall issue for
the account of Borrower or any Loan Party, one or more Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars, in accordance with this Article III, from time to time
during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Domestic
Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

                  Section 3.02. Types and Amounts. The Issuing Bank shall have
no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit at any time:

                  (a) if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing
         under Letters of Credit, after giving effect to the issuance of the
         requested Letter of Credit, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or
         regulation upon the Issuing Bank;

                  (b) if, after giving effect to the issuance of the requested
         Letter of Credit, (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations would
         exceed $5,000,000, or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 2.01
         would not be satisfied; or

                  (c) which has an expiration date (i) more than one (1) year
         after the date of issuance or (ii) after the Revolving Credit Maturity
         Date.

                  Section 3.03. Conditions. In addition to being subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article IV, the obligation of the
Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in
full of the following conditions:

                  (a) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Bank, at
         such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may prescribe, a
         Letter of Credit Application Agreement and such other documents and
         materials as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof all
         satisfactory in form and substance to the Issuing Bank, and the terms
         of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory in form and
         substance to the Issuing Bank; and

                  (b) as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of
         any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its
         terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of
         Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Bank
         and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
         from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
         shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the
         issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of that Letter
         of Credit.

                  Section 3.04. Issuance of Letters of Credit.

                  (a) Request for Issuance. At least two (2) Domestic Business
         Days before the effective date for any Letter of Credit, the Borrower
         shall give the Issuing Bank a written notice containing the original

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

         signature of an authorized officer or employee of the Borrower. Such
         notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount
         of the Letter of Credit requested (which original face amount shall not
         be less than $50,000), the effective date (which day shall be a
         Domestic Business Day) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit,
         the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the
         amount of then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, the purpose
         for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, whether such Letter of
         Credit may be drawn in single or partial draws and the person for whose
         benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each Letter of
         Credit shall be denominated in Dollars.

                  (b) Issuance; Notice of Issuance. If the conditions set forth
         in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 are satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall issue
         the requested Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall give each Lender
         written or telex notice in substantially the form of Exhibit P, or
         telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the
         issuance of a Letter of Credit and shall deliver to each Lender in
         connection with such notice a copy of the Letter of Credit issued by
         the Issuing Bank.

                  (c) No Extension or Amendment. The Issuing Bank shall not
         extend or amend any Letter of Credit if the issuance of a new Letter of
         Credit having the same terms as such Letter of Credit as so amended or
         extended would be prohibited by Section 3.02 or Section 3.03.

                  Section 3.05. Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of the Issuing
Lender.

                  (a) Reimbursement. Notwithstanding any provisions to the
         contrary in any Letter of Credit Application Agreement:

                  (i) the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings
         under a Letter of Credit issued by it no later than the earlier of (A)
         the time specified in such Letter of Credit Application Agreement, or
         (B) one (1) Domestic Business Day after the payment by the Issuing
         Bank;

                  (ii) any Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter
         of Credit shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing
         under the pertinent Letter of Credit until the date of payment in full
         thereof at a rate per annum equal to (A) prior to the date that is
         three (3) Domestic Business Days after the date of the related payment
         by the Issuing Bank, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (B)
         thereafter, the Default Rate; and

                  (iii) in order to implement the foregoing, upon the occurrence
         of a draw under any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank is
         reimbursed in accordance with Subsection (i) above, the Borrower
         irrevocably authorizes the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent to
         treat such nonpayment as a Notice of Borrowing in the amount of such
         Reimbursement Obligation and the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans to
         Borrower in such amount regardless of whether the conditions precedent
         to the making of Base Rate Loans hereunder have been met. The Borrower
         further authorizes the Administrative Agent to credit the proceeds of

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

         such Base Rate Loan so as to immediately eliminate the liability of the
         Borrower for Reimbursement Obligations under such Letter of Credit.

                  (b) Duties of the Issuing Bank. Any action taken or omitted to
         be taken by the Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit,
         if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross
         negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting
         liability to any Lender, or assuming that the Issuing Bank has complied
         with the procedures specified in Section 3.04 and such Lender has not
         given a notice contemplated by Section 3.06(a) that continues in full
         force and effect, relieve that Lender of its obligations hereunder to
         the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of
         Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the
         Lenders, the Borrower, or any Loan Party, if applicable, other than to
         confirm that any documents required to have been delivered under such
         Letter of Credit appear to comply on their face with the requirements
         of such Letter of Credit.

                  Section 3.06. Participations.

                  (a) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance by
         the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the
         procedures set forth in Section 3.04, each Lender shall be deemed to
         have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the
         Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
         participation, to the extent of such Lender's ratable share of the
         aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit;
         provided, that a Letter of Credit shall not be entitled to the benefits
         of this Section 3.06 if the Issuing Bank shall have received written
         notice from any Lender on or before the Domestic Business Day
         immediately prior to the date of the Issuing Bank's issuance of such
         Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in
         Section 3.02 or 3.03 or Article IV is not then satisfied, and, in the
         event the Issuing Bank receives such a notice, it shall have no further
         obligation to issue any Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn
         by that Lender or until the Required Lenders have effectively waived
         such condition in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (b) Sharing of Letter of Credit Payments. In the event that
         the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit for which
         the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank
         pursuant to Section 3.07 or which cannot be paid by a Loan pursuant to
         Subsection (iii) of Section 3.05, the Issuing Bank shall promptly
         notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and
         unconditionally pay to the Issuing Bank such Lender's ratable share of
         the amount of such payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the
         Issuing Bank so notifies such Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (Charlotte,
         North Carolina time) on any Domestic Business Day, and otherwise on the
         next succeeding Domestic Business Day, such Lender shall make available
         to the Issuing Bank its ratable share of the amount of such payment on
         such Domestic Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such
         Lender shall not have so made its ratable share of the amount of such
         payment available to the Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to the
         Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount together with interest
         thereon, for each day from the date such payment was first due until
         the date such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds

                                      -45-

         Rate for the first 3 days and thereafter at the Base Rate. The failure
         of any Lender to make available to the Issuing Bank its ratable share
         of any such payment shall neither relieve nor increase the obligation
         of any other Lender hereunder to make available to the Issuing Bank its

         Section, it shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its
         participating interest therein, in Dollars and in the kind of funds so
         received, an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share thereof. Each
         such payment shall be made by the Issuing Bank on the Domestic Business
         Day on which the funds are paid to the Issuing Bank, if received prior
         to 10:00 am. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on such Domestic Business
         Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.

         Bank shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit,

         shall be irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception
         whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with, but not subject to,

Bank Reporting Requirements.

                  (a) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the
         Administrative Agent with respect to each Letter of Credit issued
         hereunder a letter of credit fee ("Letter of Credit Fee") equal to a

         or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, at the
         election of the Required Lenders, the Default Rate, multiplied by the
         face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable on the Domestic Business

         Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
         of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including
         the first day but excluding the last day). The Administrative Agent

         payable on the date of issuance and the date of each renewal of each
         Letter of Credit issued hereunder in an amount equal to 0.125%
         multiplied by the face amount of each such Letter of Credit. Fronting
         fees shall be fully earned and non-refundable when paid. In addition,
         the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank, solely for its own account,

         relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees
         and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

                  (a) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as

         indemnify, pay and save the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and
         each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands,
         liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including
         reasonable attorneys' fees) which the Issuing Bank, the Administrative
         Agent, or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence of the
         issuance of any Letter of Credit for the Borrower's account other than
         as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

         the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and Lenders, the Borrower
         assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the
         Letters of Credit issued for the Borrower's or any Loan Party's account
         by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
         furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank,
         the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for
         (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
         effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
         application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it
         should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,

         be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) failure of the
         beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions
         required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) errors,

         Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of
         Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
         control of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

                  (c) Exoneration. In furtherance and extension and not in
         limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action
         taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the
         Letters of Credit or any related certificates if taken or omitted in

Loan Party to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents.

                  Section 5.06. Compliance with ERISA.

                  (a) The Borrower and each member of the Controlled Group have
         fulfilled their obligations under the minimum funding standards of
         ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and are in compliance in

                  (a) Each of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries has

         this Agreement, the Mortgages, the Borrower Security Agreement or the
         Subsidiary Security Agreement.

                  (b) Part A of Schedule 5.11 contains a complete and accurate
         list as of the Effective Date of the location, by state, county and
         street address, of (i) all real property in which the Borrower or any
         Subsidiary has any interest as owner and (ii) each other location where

         created or permitted by the Loan Documents. The Borrower and its

                                      -56-

         as of the Effective Date, the Loan Parties do not have any knowledge of
         any other default under any agreement relating to any real property
         constituting part of the Collateral, to the extent that any such
         default would result in loss of possession, the imposition of any Lien
         (other than Liens created or permitted by the Loan Documents) or loss
         of any ownership interest in any such real property; and no Lien exists
         on or with respect to the interest of the Loan Parties in any such real

         real property which is a part of the Collateral as of the Effective

         licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and
         other intellectual property material to its business, and the use
         thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the
         rights of another Person, except for any such infringements that,
         individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
         result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (d) Part B of Schedule 5.11 contains a complete and accurate
         list of each credit agreement, loan agreement, indenture, purchase
         agreement, guarantee, letter of credit or other arrangement providing

         Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding on the date hereof the
         aggregate principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds (or may

         outstanding or that may become outstanding under each such arrangement

         of its business, and is in compliance with all Environmental
         Requirements in connection with the operation of the Properties and the
         Borrower's, and each of its Subsidiary's and Affiliate's, respective
         businesses, except where a failure to procure an Environmental
         Authorization or a failure to comply with an Environmental Requirement

Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable laws, including, without

         proceedings diligently pursued. The Borrower will, and will cause each
         of its Subsidiaries to, pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments,
         governmental charges, claims for labor, supplies, rent and other
         obligations which, if unpaid, might become a lien against the property
         of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except liabilities being contested

         present value of the amount claimed to have been incurred less any
         portion thereof which the Borrower and members of the Controlled Group
         have paid or as to which the Borrower reasonably believes, after
         appropriate consideration of possible adjustments arising under
         Sections 4219 and 4221 of ERISA, it and members of the Controlled Group
         will have no liability, provided that the Borrower shall obtain prompt

         financially sound and reputable insurers; maintain such other
         insurance, to such extent and against such risks, including fire and
         other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is customary with
         companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or
         similar locations, including public liability insurance against claims
         for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in,
         about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied
         or controlled by it; and maintain such other insurance as may be
         required by law.

                  (b) The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
         to, cause all such policies to be endorsed or otherwise amended to
         include a "standard" lender's loss payable endorsement, in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
         Collateral Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after
         the Effective Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received
         written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of
         the occurrence of an Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay
         all proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or the other Loan
         Parties under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent; cause all
         such policies to provide that neither the Borrower, the Administrative
         Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other party shall be a coinsurer
         thereunder and to contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement" without any
         deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as the
         Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

         from time to time to protect their interests; deliver original or
         certified copies (or certificates evidencing the same) of all such
         policies to the Collateral Agent; cause each such policy to provide
         that it shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed (i) by reason or
         nonpayment of premium upon not less than 10 days' prior written notice
         thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
         Agent giving the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent the
         right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums or (ii) for any other
         reason upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice thereof by the
         insurer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; deliver
         to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior to the
         cancellation, modification or nonrenewal of any such policy of
         insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence
         of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Administrative Agent
         and the Collateral Agent) together with evidence satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of payment of the premium
         therefor.

                  (c) Notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
         promptly whenever any separate insurance concurrent in form or
         contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained
         under this Section 6.16 or any of the Security Documents is taken out
         by the Borrower, and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and
         the Collateral Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or
         policies.

                  (d) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section
         6.16, it is understood and agreed that:

                  (i) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
         the Lenders, or their respective agents or employees shall be liable
         for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be
         maintained under this Section 6.16, it being understood that (A) the
         Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall look solely to their
         insurance companies or any other parties other than the aforesaid
         parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance
         companies shall have no rights of subrogation against the
         Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, or their
         agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide
         waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above,
         then the Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to
         waive its right of recovery, if any, against the Administrative Agent,
         the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their agents and employees; and

                  (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance
         coverage by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
         Lenders under this Section 6.16 shall in no event be deemed a
         representation, warranty or advice by the Administrative Agent, the
         Collateral Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the
         purposes of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the
         protection of their properties and the Administrative Agent, the
         Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the right from time to time
         to require the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to keep other

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

         insurance in such form and amounts the Administrative Agent, the
         Collateral Agent or the Lenders may reasonably request, provided that
         such insurance shall be obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

                  Section 6.17. Change in Fiscal Year. The Borrower will not
change its Fiscal Year without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

                  Section 6.18. Maintenance of Property. The Borrower shall, and
shall cause each Subsidiary to, maintain all of its properties and assets
material to its business in good condition, repair and working order, ordinary
wear and tear excepted.

                  Section 6.19. Environmental Notices. The Borrower shall
furnish to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of all
Environmental Liabilities, pending, threatened or anticipated Environmental
Proceedings, Environmental Notices, Environmental Judgments and Orders, and
Environmental Releases at, on, in, under or in any way affecting the Properties
or any adjacent property, and all facts, events, or conditions that could lead
to any of the foregoing. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall give
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent prompt written notice if the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any notice with regard to Hazardous
Materials on, from or affecting the Properties in violation of any Environmental
Laws and shall conduct and complete all investigations and all cleanup actions
necessary to remove such Hazardous Materials from the Properties to the extent
required by Environmental Laws.

                  Section 6.20. Environmental Matters. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries will not, and will not permit any Third Party to, use, produce,
manufacture, process, treat, recycle, generate, store, install, place upon,
dispose of, manage at, or otherwise handle or ship or transport to or from the
Properties any Hazardous Materials except for: (1) Hazardous Materials such as
inks, other chemicals used in printing operations, cleaning solvents, pesticides
and other similar materials used, produced, manufactured, processed, treated,
recycled, generated, stored, installed, placed upon, disposed, managed or
otherwise handled in the ordinary course of business in compliance with all
applicable Environmental Requirements; and (2) the trichloroethylene that
continues to be recovered with ground water from the property commonly known as
3575 Hempland Road, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as described on Schedule 5.14. The
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall cause the Properties to comply with
Environmental Laws in all material respects and be free and clear of any Liens
imposed pursuant to Environmental Laws.

                  Section 6.21. Environmental Release. The Borrower agrees that
upon the occurrence of an Environmental Release at or on any of the Properties
it will act immediately to investigate the extent of, and to take appropriate
remedial action to eliminate, such Environmental Release, whether or not ordered
or otherwise directed to do so by any Environmental Authority.

                  Section 6.22. Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into, or be a party to, any
transaction with any Affiliate of the Borrower or such Subsidiary (which
Affiliate is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary, other than a Non-Operating
Subsidiary), except as permitted by law and in the ordinary course of business,

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

and pursuant to terms which are no less favorable to Borrower or such Subsidiary
than would be obtained in a comparable arm's length transaction with a Person
which is not an Affiliate.

                  Section 6.23. Subsidiaries.

                  (a) The Borrower shall cause any Person which becomes a
         Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary or a Non-Operating
         Subsidiary), after the Effective Date to become a party to, and agree
         to be bound by the terms of, the Guaranty pursuant to an instrument in
         form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed
         and delivered to the Collateral Agent within ten (10) Domestic Business
         Days after the day on which such Person became a Subsidiary. The
         Borrower shall also cause the items specified in Section 4.01(b) and
         (d) to be delivered to the Collateral Agent concurrently with the
         instrument referred to above, modified appropriately to refer to such
         instrument and such Subsidiary.

                  (b) The Borrower shall, or shall cause any Subsidiary (the
         "Pledgor Subsidiary") to, pledge 100% of the shares of capital stock
         owned by the Borrower or such Pledgor Subsidiary in any Person which
         becomes a Subsidiary (other than any Non-Operating Subsidiary) after
         the Effective Date pursuant to a pledge agreement in form and substance
         substantially identical to the Pledge Agreement by execution and
         delivery by the Borrower or such Pledgor Subsidiary to the Collateral
         Agent within (i) in the case of Domestic Subsidiaries, ten (10)
         Domestic Business Days and (ii) in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries,
         thirty (30) Domestic Business Days, after the day on which such Person
         became a Subsidiary and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent such
         shares of capital stock together with stock powers executed in blank.
         The Borrower shall also cause the items specified in Section 4.01(b)
         and (d) to be delivered to the Administrative Agent concurrently with
         the pledge agreement referred to above, modified appropriately to refer
         to such pledge agreement and such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, in the event that such Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary,
         the Borrower or Pledgor Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be
         required to pledge only 65% of the total capital stock outstanding of
         such Foreign Subsidiary.

                  (c) Once any Subsidiary becomes party to the Guaranty in
         accordance with Section 4.01(e) or Section 6.23(a) or any shares of
         capital stock of such Subsidiary are pledged to the Administrative
         Agent in accordance with Sections 4.01(g), Section 4.01(i) or Section
         6.23(b), such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, all
         Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties on the date hereof) thereafter shall
         remain a party to the Guaranty and the shares of capital stock in such
         Subsidiary (including, without limitation, all Subsidiaries that are
         Loan Parties on the date hereof) shall remain subject to the pledge to
         the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, unless, pursuant to Section
         10.05(b), the Administrative Agent receives written notice from the
         Borrower (with reasonably detailed representations) that such
         Subsidiary has become a Non-Operating Subsidiary, and subsequently
         releases such Non-Operating Subsidiary as a Guarantor and releases such
         Non-Operating Subsidiary's shares of capital stock to the relevant
         Pledgor Subsidiary.

                  (d) The Borrower will, and will cause the Subsidiaries to,
         execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and
         take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or
         that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably
         request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the
         Loan Documents and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the
         validity and first priority of the Security Documents (subject to the

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

         existence of Liens permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan
         Document). The Borrower will (i) cause any subsequently acquired or
         organized Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) to become a
         party to the Subsidiary Security Agreement in favor of the Collateral
         Agent and to enter into, if such Subsidiary owns any real property, a
         mortgage (or similar instrument) in substantially the form of the
         Mortgage, covering such real property, (ii) enter into, and cause each
         existing Subsidiary and Pledgor Subsidiary and such newly acquired or
         organized Subsidiary or Pledgor Subsidiary to enter into, the
         Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, and (iii) deliver,
         or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
         the items specified in Sections 4.01(b) and (d), modified appropriately
         to refer to such Subsidiary Security Agreement, Mortgage and Indemnity,
         Subrogation and Contribution Agreement and such Subsidiary or Pledgor
         Subsidiary. In addition, from time to time, the Borrower will, at its
         cost and expense, promptly secure the Obligations by pledging or
         creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected Liens with
         respect to such of its assets and properties as the Administrative
         Agent or the Collateral Agent shall designate (it being understood that
         it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Obligations shall be
         secured, by among other things, substantially all of the assets of the
         Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including assets acquired subsequent to
         the Effective Date)). Such Liens will be created under the Security
         Documents and other security agreements and other instruments and
         documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and the Borrower shall
         deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the
         Collateral Agent all such instruments and documents (including legal
         opinions and lien searches) as the Administrative Agent and the
         Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with
         this Section. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as the
         Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request
         as to the perfection and priority status of each such Lien.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause (d) shall not apply to any
         Non-Operating Subsidiary.

                  (e) Simultaneously with making any loan or advance pursuant to
         Section 6.07(iv), the Borrower shall (i) pledge the negotiable
         promissory note in the principal amount of any such loan or advance,
         or, if relevant, the Dollar Equivalent of such loan or advance,
         executed by the relevant Foreign Subsidiary in favor of the Borrower
         pursuant to a pledge agreement in form and substance substantially
         identical to the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery by the
         Borrower to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) deliver to the Collateral
         Agent a blank and undated allonge for such negotiable promissory note
         executed by the Borrower and in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Collateral Agent.

                  Section 6.24. Acquisitions. The Borrower will not, nor will it
permit any Subsidiary to make any Acquisition other than a Permitted
Acquisition.

                  Section 6.25. Subordinated Debt, Subordinated Debt Documents
and Seller Securities.

                  (a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its
         Subsidiaries to, redeem, purchase, discharge, pay, prepay or defease
         all or any portion of the principal or interest of the Subordinated
         Debt, prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all
         Obligations, except that (i) the Borrower may pay interest on the
         Subordinated Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated
         Debt Documents as in effect and in accordance with the terms of the
         Subordinated Debt Documents, or as amended in accordance with the
         provisions of Section 6.25 so long as no Event of Default then exists;
         (ii) all or substantially all of the Senior Subordinated Notes may be
         refinanced in a single transaction or series of transactions, provided
         that such refinancing does not (A) increase the outstanding principal
         amount thereof, other than increases to the principal amount of the
         Subordinated Debt incurred due to the financing of any premiums related
         to such refinancing (rounded up to the nearest $5,000,000 increment),
         (B) provide for an earlier maturity date than the maturity date in
         effect on the date hereof, (C) increase the applicable interest rate in
         effect on the date hereof, or (D) provide for any other terms and
         conditions not favorable to the Lenders (as determined by the
         Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and (iii) the Borrower
         may make principal payments on the Subordinated Debt subject to the
         limitations set forth in Section 6.29.

                  (b) The Borrower shall not take any action in violation of the
         provisions of the Subordinated Debt Documents pursuant to which the
         indebtedness, liabilities and obligations evidenced by the Subordinated
         Debt Documents are subordinated and made junior to the Revolving Credit
         Loans, Swing Line Loans and all of the other Obligations. The Borrower
         shall not permit any Subsidiary to take any action which shall result
         in violation of the provisions of the Subordinated Debt Documents
         pursuant to which the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations
         evidenced by the Subordinated Debt Documents are subordinated and made
         junior to the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and all of the
         other Obligations.

                  (c) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its
         Subsidiaries to, amend, alter or modify, or consent to or suffer any
         amendment, alteration or modification of, the Subordinated Debt
         Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
         and the Required Lenders, if such amendment, alteration or modification
         adversely affects the subordination provisions thereof or imposes any
         more onerous term or condition on the Borrower or any of its
         Subsidiaries than is contained in such agreement, note or document as
         of the date hereof or is otherwise in any way adverse to the Borrower,
         any of its Subsidiaries or the Lenders. The Borrower shall deliver to
         the Administrative Agent notice and a copy of any proposed amendment,
         alteration or modification which, in the opinion of the Borrower, does
         not affect the subordination provisions of any such agreement, note or
         document or impose any more onerous term or condition on the Borrower
         or any of its Subsidiaries than is contained in such agreement, note or
         document as of the date hereof and is not otherwise in any way adverse
         to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the Lenders, at least ten
         (10) Domestic Business Days prior to the effective date of such

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

         proposed amendment, alteration or modification and, if at least three
         (3) Domestic Business Days prior to the effective date of such
         amendment, alteration or modification, the Administrative Agent shall
         deliver notice to the Borrower stating that, in the opinion of the
         Administrative Agent (rendered in its sole discretion), such proposed
         amendment, alteration or modification requires the approval of the
         Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall not,
         and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into such
         amendment, alteration or modification without the prior written consent
         of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

                  Section 6.26. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions and
Securitizations. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to,
enter into any (i) Sale/Leaseback Transaction (except for Permitted
Sale/Leaseback Transactions) or (ii) any securitization financing programs.

                  Section 6.27. No Restrictive Agreement. The Borrower will not,
nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, after the date of
this Agreement, any indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement (other
than the Subordinated Debt Documents) that, directly or indirectly, prohibits or
restrains, or has the effect of prohibiting or restraining, or imposes
materially adverse conditions upon, any of the following by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary; the incurrence or payment of Debt, the granting of Liens, the
declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions in respect of Stock
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the making of loans, advances or Investments
or the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition or property, real,
personal or mixed, tangible or intangible; provided, however, that any such
indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement executed and delivered by
the Borrower for the sole purpose of financing the acquisition of assets of the
Borrower may impose materially adverse conditions upon the sale, assignment,
transfer or other disposition of the assets being financed pursuant to such
indenture, agreement, instrument or other arrangement.

                  Section 6.28. Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (a) The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and
         the Lenders prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured
         damage to any of the real property or personal property of the Borrower
         or any Subsidiary occurring in any Fiscal Year resulting in gross
         proceeds in excess of $250,000 or, when aggregated with all other
         casualties or damage which shall have previously occurred in such
         Fiscal Year, in excess of $250,000, or the commencement of any action
         or proceeding for the taking of any of the real property or personal
         property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any part thereof or
         interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or
         similar proceeding.

                  (b) Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, if any event
         described in paragraph (a) of this Section results in cash proceeds
         (whether in the form of insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or
         otherwise), the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall utilize such cash
         proceeds to pay the costs of repairing, restoring or replacing the
         affected property in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section,
         unless the Borrower elects not to replace, restore or repair such
         property.

                  (c) Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, if any cash
         proceeds have not been utilized to replace, restore or repair such
         property on that date that is nine months after the occurrence of the

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

         event resulting in such cash proceeds or if the Borrower elects not to
         replace, repair or restore the affected property, then, to the extent
         required under Section 6.28(a), such cash proceeds shall be applied to
         the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as provided in
         Section 2.08.

                  (d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
         an event described in paragraph (a) of this Section shall have
         occurred, the provisions of the Mortgage affecting the damaged property
         shall supercede paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section and shall
         control the application of such cash proceeds received or to be
         received.

                  Section 6.29. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not
declare or make any Restricted Payment at any time except (A) pursuant to
Section 6.25(a)(i), any interest payments with respect to Subordinated Debt; (B)
pursuant to Section 6.25(a)(ii), any refinancing of all or substantially all of
the Senior Subordinated Notes; (C) any principal payments with respect to
Subordinated Debt; (D) repurchases of the Borrower's common stock outstanding;
and (E) payments of dividends; provided that, after giving effect to the payment
of any Restricted Payment set forth in (C) or (D) of this Section, (1)
immediately prior to, immediately after giving effect to, or as a result of, any
such Restricted Payment, the Borrower certifies that it is in pro forma
compliance with Sections 6.03, 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06 and provides the
Administrative Agent satisfactory (as determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent) calculations demonstrating such compliance, (2) no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; (3) immediately after giving effect to
such Restricted Payment, each of the Total Leverage Ratio and the Senior
Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis shall be at least 0.25% less than
the maximum Total Leverage Ratio and the maximum Senior Leverage Ratio permitted
under Section 6.03 or 6.04, respectively; (4) the Revolving Credit Availability
is not less than $10,000,000; and (5) the aggregate of amount of such repayments
and repurchases, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted
Payments made pursuant to (C) and (D) of this Section from the Effective Date,
does not exceed $15,000,000.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time the Borrower
wishes to make a repayment or repurchase as set forth in clauses (C) or (D)
above, the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.5 to 1.0 and the Senior Leverage
Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, each on a pro forma basis giving effect to such
repayment or repurchase, the $15,000,000 limit set forth in clause (5) above
shall be deemed to be $30,000,000 at the time of such repayment and repurchase
only.

         thereof or require the mandatory prepayment or purchase thereof prior

         binding on any Loan Party, or any Loan Party shall deny or disaffirm
         its obligations thereunder; or

                  (n) if any Security Document shall for any reason cease to

                                  Article VIII

                                     AGENCY

                  Section 8.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia Bank, National
Association 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
VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

                  Section 8.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
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 8.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

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

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

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

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 Sections 10.05 and 7.01) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the Issuing Bank.

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

                  Section 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the Issuing Bank 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 8.05. 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 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank 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 or an Affiliate of any
such bank with an office in the United States of America. 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 Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents 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 Bank 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 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

                  Section 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

                  Section 8.08. No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, neither of the Co-Lead Arrangers listed on the cover
page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

                                   Article IX

                      CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION

                  Section 9.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate
or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in
         Dollars or any Alternate Currency (in the applicable amounts) are not
         being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

                  (b) the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that
         the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the Administrative
         Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
         of funding the relevant type of Eurocurrency Loans for such Interest
         Period, or

                  (c) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange
         or interbank markets with respect to any Alternate Currency (including,
         without limitation, changes in national or international financial,
         political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange
         controls), or

                  (d) it has become otherwise materially impractical for the
         Administrative Agent or the Lenders to make an Alternate Currency Loan,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligations of the Lenders to make the Eurocurrency Loans specified in such
notice shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent
at least two (2) Domestic Business Days before the date of any Eurocurrency
Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it
elects not to borrow on such date, such borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing.

                  Section 9.02. Illegality. If, after the date hereof, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any
existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any
Lender (or its Domestic or Eurocurrency Lending Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority
shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Office) to
make, maintain or fund its Eurocurrency Loans and such Lender shall so notify
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make
Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a
different Domestic or Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it
may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding
Eurocurrency Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon.
Concurrently with prepaying each such Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall
borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount in Dollars from such Lender
(on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the
related Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make
such a Base Rate Loan.

                  Section 9.03. Increased Costs.

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

                  (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 credit
         extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
         requirement reflected in the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate) or
         the Issuing Bank;

                  (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 Eurocurrency Loan made
         by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or
         the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or
         Other Taxes covered by Sections 2.11(c) through (h) and the imposition
         of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
         Lender or the Issuing Bank); or

                  (iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London
         interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
         Agreement or Eurocurrency 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 or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank 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 Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the Lender's or Issuing
Bank's sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender or Issuing
Bank funded its Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable of the Eurocurrency
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.

                  (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank
         determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing
         Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or the
         Issuing Bank'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 Bank's capital or on the capital of such
         Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a
         consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit 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
         Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or
         such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved
         but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or
         the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the
         Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then
         from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing
         Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
         compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the
         Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

                  (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender
         or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
         compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
         case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
         days after receipt thereof.

                  (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any
         Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
         Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing
         Bank's right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower
         shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank
         pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
         suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or
         the Issuing Bank, 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 Bank'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 nine-month
         period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
         retroactive effect thereof).

                  Section 9.04. Exchange Indemnification. The Borrower shall,
upon demand from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent or
any applicable Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, (ii) any
reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to
the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, (iii) any interest or any
other return, including principal, foregone by the Administrative Agent or any
applicable Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or
operation of the Euro, or (iv) any currency exchange loss, in any such case that
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender sustains as a result of any payment
being made by the Borrower in a Currency other than that originally extended to

                                      -82-
<PAGE>

the Borrower. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth the basis
for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender shall be conclusively presumed to
be correct save for manifest error.

                  Section 9.05. Regulatory Limitation. In the event, as a result
of increases in the value of Alternate Currencies against the Dollar or for any
other reason, the obligation of any of the Lenders to make Loans (taking into
account the Dollar Amount of the Obligations and all other indebtedness required
to be aggregated under 12 U.S.C.A. ss.84, as amended, the regulations
promulgated thereunder and any other Applicable Law) is determined by such
Lender to exceed its then applicable legal lending limit under 12 U.S.C.A.
ss.84, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other
Applicable Law, the amount of additional commitments such Lender shall be
obligated to make or issue or participate in hereunder shall immediately be
reduced to the maximum amount which such Lender may legally advance (as
determined by such Lender), the obligation of each of the remaining Lenders
hereunder shall be proportionately reduced, based on the Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Lender and, to the extent necessary under such laws and
regulations (as determined by each of the Lenders, with respect to the
applicability of such laws and regulations to itself), and Borrower shall
reduce, or cause to be reduced, complying to the extent practicable with the
remaining provisions hereof, the Obligations outstanding hereunder by an amount
sufficient to comply with such maximum amounts.

                  Section 9.06. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Eurocurrency
Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency
Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 9.02 or (ii) any Lender has
demanded compensation under Section 9.03, and the Borrower shall, by at least 5
Eurocurrency Business Days' prior notice to such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation
no longer apply:

                  (a) all Revolving Credit Loans which would otherwise be made
         by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate
         Loans (in all cases interest and principal on such Revolving Credit
         Loans shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency
         Loans of the other Lenders), and

                  (b) after each of its Eurocurrency Loans has been repaid, all
         payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such
         Eurocurrency Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
         instead.

In the event that the Borrower shall elect that the provisions of this Section
shall apply to any Lender, the Borrower shall remain liable for, and shall pay
to such Lender as provided herein, all amounts due such Lender under Section
9.03 in respect of the period preceding the date of conversion of such Lender's
Revolving Credit Loans resulting from the Borrower's election.

                  Section 9.07. Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender,
delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of:

                                      -83-
<PAGE>

                  (a) any payment or prepayment (pursuant to Section 2.09,
         Section 2.10 or otherwise) of a Eurocurrency Loan on a date other than
         the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan;

                  (b) any failure by the Borrower to prepay a Eurocurrency Loan
         on the date for such prepayment specified in the relevant notice of
         prepayment hereunder; or

                  (c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a Eurocurrency Loan
         on the date for the Eurocurrency Borrowing of which such Eurocurrency
         Loan is a part specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing
         delivered pursuant to Section 2.02;

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so
paid or prepaid or not prepaid or borrowed for the period from the date of such
payment, prepayment or failure to prepay or borrow to the last day of the then
current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan (or, in the case of a failure
to prepay or borrow, the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan which would
have commenced on the date of such failure to prepay or borrow) at the
applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loan provided for herein over
(y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) such Lender
would have paid on deposits in Dollars of comparable amounts having terms
comparable to such period placed with it by leading banks in the London
interbank market.

                  Section 9.08. Designation of a Different Lending Office. If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.03, or requires the Borrower to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.11(c) through (h), 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 Sections 9.03 or 2.11(c) through (h), 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.

                  Section 9.09. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 9.03, 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 Sections 2.11(c) through (h), 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, and consents required by, Section
10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the related Loan Documents 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 10.07;

                                      -84-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount
         equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
         payments made by an Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter 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 9.07(a)) 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 9.03 or payments required to be
         made pursuant to Sections 2.11(c) through (h), 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 or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

         extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder
         and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
         Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Lender or the Issuing
         Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for

         all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses
         (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
         Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
         Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan
         Party 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

         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 proposed
         use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing
         Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
         documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
         comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or

         litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
         foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
         brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
         and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided
         that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
         the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
         expenses 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.

                  (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 Bank, the
         Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
         Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
         sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or such Related
         Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable 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), the Swing
         Line Lender or the Issuing Bank 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), the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank in
         connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under
         this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 10.10.

                  (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 after demand therefor.

                  Section 10.04. Set-Offs; Sharing of Set-Offs.

                  (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, 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
         Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
         Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations
         of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this
         Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing
         Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank
         shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
         Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
         Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office
         of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office
         holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of
         each Lender, the Issuing Bank 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 Bank or their

                                      -88-
<PAGE>

         respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank 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.

                  (b) 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 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:

                  (i) 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

                  (ii) 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 payments made
         by an Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter 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).

Each Loan Party 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
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

                  Section 10.05. Amendments and Waivers.

                  (a) Any provision of this Agreement, the Loans or any other
         Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment
         or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required
         Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are
         affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent) or the Borrower and the
         Administrative Agent after the Administrative Agent having received the
         consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment or
         waiver shall, unless signed by any Lender affected thereby, (i) change
         the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to
         any additional obligation, (ii) change the principal of or reduce the
         rate of interest on any Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or
         Reimbursement Obligation or the amount of any fees hereunder or the
         amount of the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) payable by any
         Guarantor under the Guaranty, (iii) change the date fixed for any
         payment of principal of or interest on any Swing Line Loan, Revolving
         Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fees hereunder or any of

                                      -89-
<PAGE>

         the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) under the Guaranty, (iv)
         change the amount of principal or reduce the amount of interest or fees
         due on any date fixed for the payment thereof under this Agreement, the
         Loans or any other Loan Document, (v) change the percentage of the
         Revolving Credit Commitment or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount
         of the Loans, or the percentage of Lenders, which shall be required for
         the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section or any
         other provision of this Agreement or modify the definition of Required
         Lenders, (vi) change the manner of application of any payments made
         under this Agreement, the Guaranty or the Loans, (vii) except as
         provided in clause (b) of this Section, release or substitute all or
         any substantial part of the Collateral held as security for the Swing
         Line Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations
         or any of the Obligations, (viii) waive any of the conditions precedent
         contained in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, or (ix) except as provided
         in clause (b) of this Section, release, discharge or terminate any
         guaranty given to support payment of the Revolving Credit Loans
         (including, without limitation, the Guaranty); provided further that no
         such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by the Swing Line Lender
         or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, change any provision of this
         Agreement relating to the Swing Line Loans (including without
         limitation Section 2.14) or the Letters of Credit, respectively.

                  (b) Notwithstanding clauses (vii) or (ix) of this Section, in
         the event the Borrower represents pursuant to a written notice that a
         Subsidiary which is a Loan Party has become a Non-Operating Subsidiary
         (such notice to be accompanied by reasonably detailed representations
         in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its
         sole judgment establishing that such Subsidiary is a Non-Operating
         Subsidiary), the Administrative Agent may, without the prior consent of
         any Lender affected thereby, (1) release the guaranty of such
         Non-Operating Subsidiary (including, from the Guaranty), and (2)
         release the shares of capital stock of such Non-Operating Subsidiary to
         the relevant Pledgor Subsidiary.

                  (c) The Borrower will not solicit, request or negotiate for or
         with respect to any proposed waiver or amendment of any of the
         provisions of this Agreement unless each Lender shall be informed
         thereof by the Borrower and shall be afforded an opportunity of
         considering the same and shall be supplied by the Borrower with
         sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with
         respect thereto. Executed or true and correct copies of any waiver or

                                      -90-
<PAGE>

         consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be
         delivered by the Borrower to each Lender forthwith following the date
         on which the same shall have been executed and delivered by the
         requisite percentage of Lenders. The Borrower will not, directly or
         indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of
         supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender
         (in its capacity as such) as consideration for or as an inducement to
         the entering into by such Lender of any waiver or amendment of any of
         the terms and provisions of this Agreement unless such remuneration is
         concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to all such Lenders.

                  Section 10.06. Margin Stock Collateral. Each of the Lenders
represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in
good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise),
relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of
the credit provided for in this Agreement.

                  Section 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

                  (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this
         Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
         hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
         except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
         otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
         the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
         and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
         obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance
         with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (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 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 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 each of the Administrative Agent and, so
         long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
         Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably
         withheld or delayed);

                                      -91-
<PAGE>

                  (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 Revolving Credit Commitment must be
         approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank unless the
         Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a
         Revolving Credit Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would
         otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Article IX, and Sections 2.11 and 10.03 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 or the Swing Line 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 or Swing Line 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 or Swing Line

                                      -92-
<PAGE>

         Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
         such Lender or Swing Line Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
         other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii)
         the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swing Line
         Lender and Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with
         such Lender in connection with such Lender's or such Swing Line
         Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

                  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender or
Swing Line Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender or
such Swing Line 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 or such Swing Line Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the
following: (i) the change of any date fixed for the payment of principal of or
interest on the related Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Swing Line
Loans or Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, (ii) the change of
the amount of any principal, or the reduction of any interest or fees due on any
date fixed for the payment thereof with respect to the related Swing Line Loan
or Revolving Credit Loan or Swing Line Loans or Revolving Credit Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations, (iii) the change of the principal of the related
Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit Loan or Swing Line Loans or Revolving Credit
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) any reduction in the rate at which
either interest is payable thereon or (if the Participant is entitled to any
part thereof) commitment fee is payable hereunder from the rate at which the
Participant is entitled to receive interest or commitment fee (as the case may
be) in respect of such participation, (v) the release or substitution of all or
any substantial part of the Collateral held as security for the Swing Line Loans
or Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or (vi) the release of
any guaranty given to support payment of the Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender
selling a participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit
Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, Note, Revolving Credit Commitment or other
interest under this Agreement shall, within ten (10) Domestic Business Days of
such sale, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with written
notification stating that such sale has occurred and identifying the Participant
and the interest purchased by such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Article IX, and Section 2.11 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, and subject to, the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a
Lender.

                  (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall
         not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article IX and
         Section 2.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
         receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
         unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with
         the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
         Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
         benefits of Section 2.11(g) 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 2.11(g) as though
         it were a Lender.

                                      -93-
<PAGE>

                  (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 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 10.08. Treatment of Certain Information;
Confidentiality

                  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line
Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to
its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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 any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (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 hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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 assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) 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, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower.

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

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, "Information"
shall not include, and the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the respective Affiliates of each
of the foregoing (and the respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their
Affiliates), and any other party, may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, (a) any information with respect to the U.S. federal and
state income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby ("tax

                                      -94-

treatment") and any facts that may be relevant to understanding such tax
treatment, which facts shall not include for this purpose the names of the
parties or any other Person named herein, or information that would permit
identification of the parties or such other Persons, or any pricing terms or
other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to such tax
treatment or facts, and (b) all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the Persons referred to above
relating to such tax treatment or facts.

                  Section 10.09. Representation by Lenders. Each Lender hereby
represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes
loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make its Swing
Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans hereunder for its own account in the
ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to Section
10.07, the disposition of the Note or Notes held by that Lender shall at all
times be within its exclusive control.

                  Section 10.10. Obligations Several. The obligations of each
Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
obligations or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in
this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be
deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder
to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall
be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

                  Section 10.11. Survival of Certain Obligations. Sections
9.03(a), 9.03(b), 9.07 and 10.03, and the obligations of the Borrower
thereunder, shall survive, and shall continue to be enforceable notwithstanding
the termination of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letters
of Credit and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Swing
Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and of the Reimbursement Obligations.

                  Section 10.12. Governing Law; Arbitration; Waiver of Jury
Trial, Etc.

                  (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
         construed in accordance with, the law of the State of North Carolina.

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

                  (c) Arbitration.

                  (i) Upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or
         after institution of any judicial proceeding, any claim or controversy
         arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document
         executed in connection herewith between parties hereto (a "Dispute")
         shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted under and governed
         by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the
         "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the

                                      -95-
<PAGE>

         "AAA") and the Federal Arbitration Act. Disputes may include, without
         limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, a dispute as to whether a
         matter is subject to arbitration, claims brought as class actions, or
         claims arising from documents executed in the future. A judgment upon
         the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration provision does not
         apply to disputes under or related to Swap Agreements.

                  (ii) All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Charlotte,
         North Carolina. A hearing shall begin within 90 days of demand for
         arbitration and all hearings shall conclude within 120 days of demand
         for arbitration. These time limitations may not be extended unless a
         party shows cause for extension and then for no more than a total of 60
         days. 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. Arbitrators shall be licensed attorneys selected from the
         Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The parties
         do not waive applicable Federal or state substantive law except as
         provided herein.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration
         provisions, the parties agree to preserve, without diminution, certain
         remedies that any party may exercise before or after an arbitration
         proceeding is brought. The parties shall have 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 or under applicable law by judicial
         foreclosure including a proceeding to confirm the sale; (ii) all rights
         of self-help including peaceful occupation of real property and
         collection of rents, set-off, and peaceful possession of personal
         property; (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including
         injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment
         of receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (iv)
         when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Any claim or
         controversy with regard to any party's entitlement to such remedies is
         a Dispute.

                  (iv) The parties agree that they shall not have a remedy of
         punitive or exemplary damages against other parties in any Dispute and
         hereby waive any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages they
         have now or which may arise in the future in connection with any
         Dispute whether the Dispute is resolved by arbitration or judicially.

                  (d) WAIVER OF 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

                                      -96-
<PAGE>

         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.

                  Section 10.13. Severability. In case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement, the Loans or any of the other Loan
Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

                  Section 10.14. Judgment Currency. The obligation of the
Borrower to make payments of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the
obligation of any such Person to make payments of any other amounts payable
hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document in the Currency specified for
such payment shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery
pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the
actual receipt by each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders of the full
amount of the particular Currency expressed to be payable pursuant to the
applicable Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall, using all amounts
obtained or received from the Borrower pursuant to any such tender or recovery
in payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations, promptly purchase
the applicable Currency at the most favorable spot exchange rate determined by
the Administrative Agent to be available to it. The obligation of the Borrower
to make payments in the applicable Currency shall be enforceable as an
alternative or additional cause of action solely for the purpose of recovering
in the applicable Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt
shall fall short of the full amount of the Currency expressed to be payable
pursuant to the applicable Loan Document.

                  Section 10.15. Interest. In no event shall the amount of
interest due or payable hereunder or under the Loans exceed the maximum rate of
interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is
inadvertently made to any Lender by the Borrower or inadvertently received by
any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal,
unless the Borrower shall notify such Lender in writing that it elects to have
such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the
Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any
manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the
Borrower under applicable law.

                  Section 10.16. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to
the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or
judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have
structured or dictated such provision.

                  Section 10.17. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness;
Electronic Execution.

                  (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement
         may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
         different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
         but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
         contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate
         letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
         Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
         subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
         understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
         Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
         effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
         and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
         hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
         other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
         signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
         delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

                  (b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
         "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any
         Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic
         signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
         shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
         manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
         system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any
         applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
         and National Commerce Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
         Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

                            AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

                  Section 11.01. Interrelationship with the Existing Credit
Agreement.

                  (a) As stated in the preamble hereof, this Agreement is
         intended to amend and restate the provisions of the Existing Credit
         Agreement and, except as expressly modified herein, (x) all of the
         terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to
         apply for the period prior to the Effective Date, including any
         determinations of payment dates, interest rates, Events of Default or
         any amount that may be payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
         (y) the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue
         to be paid or prepaid on or prior to the Effective Date in accordance
         with the Existing Credit Agreement, and shall from and after the
         Effective Date continue to be owing and be subject to the terms of this
         Agreement and (z) this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or
         result in a novation or repayment of the Loans and reborrowing
         hereunder, but obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and
         Liens securing payment and performance thereof shall in all respects be
         continuing as Obligations under this Agreement and Liens securing
         payment and performance thereof.

                  (b) All references in the other Loan Documents and the Loan
         Documents executed in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement
         (the "Original Loan Documents") to (i) the Existing Credit Agreement or
         the "Credit Agreement" shall be deemed to include references to this
         Agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
         from time to time, and (ii)(1) the "Banks" or a "Bank" shall be deemed
         to mean "Lenders" or a "Lender" as defined in this Agreement, (2) the
         "Agent" shall be deemed to mean the "Administrative Agent" as defined
         in this Agreement, and (3) the "Collateral Administrative Agent" shall
         be deemed to mean the "Collateral Agent" as defined in this Agreement.
         All Obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement
         shall be governed by this Agreement from and after the Effective Date.
         The Loan Documents executed in connection with the Existing Credit
         Agreement that are not superseded by corresponding Loan Documents
         executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement shall remain
         in full force and effect. All references to the Existing Credit
         Agreement in the Original Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to
         this Agreement without further amendment thereof.

                  (c) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that each
         of the Original Loan Documents, as such Original Loan Document may be
         amended and restated on the Effective Date, to which such Loan Party is
         a party remains in full force and effect and hereby ratifies and
         reaffirms all of its respective payment and performance obligations,
         contingent or otherwise, under each of the Original Loan Documents, as
         such Original Loan Document may be amended and restated on the
         Effective Date, to which it is a party and, to the extent such Loan
         Party granted Liens on or security interests in any of its properties
         pursuant to any of the Original Loan Documents, as such Original Loan
         Document may be amended and restated on the Effective Date, as security
         for the Obligations, such Loan Party, as the case may be, hereby
         ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security and confirms and agrees
         that such Liens and security interests secure all of the Obligations
         and remain in full force and effect after giving effect to this
         Agreement. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement
         shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the
         Administrative or any Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement or any
         Original Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the
         Existing Credit Agreement or any Original Loan Document, except as
         specifically set forth therein.

                  Section 11.02. Confirmation of Existing Obligations. The
Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that as of the
Effective Date, the outstanding balance of the loans (including accrued interest
thereon but excluding all of the fees and expenses (including professional fees
and expenses) related thereto) under the Existing Credit Agreement was
$15,584,849.82 and that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party has any
defense, counterclaim or setoff with respect to the payment thereof.
