Exhibit 10.41  

AMENDMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 17, 2007 TO THE

AMERIPATH GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. 2006 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED 

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (THE “PLAN”)

WHEREAS, on
May 31, 2007, AmeriPath Group Holdings, Inc. (“AmeriPath”) became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (“Quest Diagnostics”)
through a merger (the “Merger”) of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest
Diagnostics into AmeriPath. 

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 15, 2007 (the
“Merger Agreement”) among Quest Diagnostics, Ace Acquisition Corporation and
AmeriPath, on May 31, 2007, each option to purchase shares of AmeriPath granted
under the Plan that was vested as of the closing (a “Vested Stock Option”) was
cashed out based on the intrinsic value of the vested options. The cash payment
was equal to (1) $6.67 (the difference between the transaction value of $10.17
per share minus the exercise price of such Vested Option of $3.50) multiplied
by (2) the number of shares of AmeriPath covered by such Vested Stock Option,
less (3) any applicable withholding taxes. 

WHEREAS, under
the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase shares granted under the Plan
that was not vested as of the closing was converted into a non-qualified option
to purchase Quest Diagnostics Common Stock pursuant to a formula intended to
preserve the intrinsic value of such option. Under the conversion formula, each
unvested option to acquire one share of AmeriPath was converted into a
non-qualified option to acquire 0.2092 of a share of Quest Diagnostics Common
Stock, with the exercise price being adjusted by dividing the previous
AmeriPath exercise price ($3.50) by 0.2092, resulting in an exercise price of
$16.73. 

WHEREAS, the
Corporation desires to approve an amendment to the Plan to provide that each
option outstanding under the Plan as of June 1, 2007 shall vest on a change of
control (as defined below), which amendment was approved on August 17, 2007 by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Quest Diagnostics.

NOW,
THEREFORE, the Plan is amended by the addition of the following Section 6.3
effective as of June 1, 2007:

6.3 VESTING ON
A CHANGE OF CONTROL. Each option outstanding on June 1, 2007 will vest on a
change of control provided that the option holder is employed by Quest
Diagnostics on the date of the change of control. In all other respects, each
option outstanding under the Plan on June 1, 2007 remains subject to the same
terms and conditions as were contained in the Plan as in effect on May 31, 2007
and the stock option agreement evidencing the option. The term “change of
control” shall mean and shall be deemed to occur if and when:

1

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(i) Any
 person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the beneficial owner,
 directly or indirectly, of securities of Quest Diagnostics representing 40%
 or more of the combined voting power of Quest Diagnostics’ then outstanding
 securities; or

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii) The
 individuals who, as of June 1, 2007, constituted Quest Diagnostics’ Board of
 Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least
 a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual
 (other than any individual whose initial assumption of office is in
 connection with an actual or threatened election contest (as such term is
 used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation A promulgated under the Exchange Act)),
 becoming a director subsequent to June 1, 2007, whose election, or nomination
 for election by the stockholders of Quest Diagnostics, was approved by a vote
 of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board,
 shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent
 Board; or

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)
 Shareholders of Quest Diagnostics approve an agreement providing for (a) a
 transaction in which Quest Diagnostics will cease to be an independent
 publicly owned corporation, or (b) the sale or other disposition of all or
 substantially all of Quest Diagnostics’ assets, or (c) a plan of partial or
 complete liquidation of Quest Diagnostics

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained
      herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     

    ARTICLE
      I 

     

    DEFINITIONS

     

    Section
      1.1 Defined
      Terms.

     

    As
      used
      in this Agreement, terms defined in the preamble to this Agreement have the
      meanings therein indicated, and the following terms have the following
      meanings:

     

    “ABR
      Swingline Loans”
shall mean Swingline Loans that bear interest at an interest rate based
      on the
      Alternate Base Rate.

     

    “Account
      Designation
      Letter” shall mean the Notice of Account Designation Letter dated the
      Closing Date from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent substantially in
      the
      form attached hereto as Schedule
      1.1(a).

     

    “Additional
      Commitment
      Lender” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.22(d).

     

    “Additional
      Credit
      Party” shall mean each Person that becomes a Guarantor by execution of a
      Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.12.

     

    “Adjusted
      Leverage
      Ratio” shall mean, with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a
      consolidated basis for the twelve month period ending on the last day of any
      fiscal quarter, the ratio of (a) the sum of (i) Total Debt calculated on the
      last day of such period plus (ii)
      Consolidated Rental Expense for such period multiplied by six (6)
      to (b) Consolidated EBITDAR for such period.

     

    “Administrative
      Agent”
shall have the meaning set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement
      and
      any successors in such capacity.

     

    “Administrative
      Questionnaire” shall mean an Administrative Questionnaire in a form
      supplied by the Administrative Agent.

     

    “Affiliate”
shall
      mean
      as to any Person, any other Person (excluding any Subsidiary) which, directly
      or
      indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control
      with,
      such Person. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed to be
      “controlled by” a Person if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power
      either (a) to vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power
      for the election of directors of such Person or (b) to direct or cause the
      direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract
      or
      otherwise.

     

    “Agreement”
shall
      mean
      this Credit Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time
      in
      accordance with its terms.

     

    “Alternate
      Base Rate”
shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a)
      the Prime
      Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect
      on
      such day plus 1/2 of 1%.  For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall
      mean, at any time, the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time
      to time by Wachovia at its principal office in Charlotte, North Carolina as
      its
      prime rate.  Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of
      the opening of business on the day such change in the Prime Rate
      occurs.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the rate announced
      publicly by Wachovia as its Prime Rate is an index or base rate and shall not
      necessarily be its lowest or best rate charged to its customers or other banks;
      and “Federal Funds
      Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the
      rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal
      Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers, as published on the next
      succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such
      rate is not so published on the next succeeding Business Day, the average of
      the
      quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative
      Agent
      from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by
      it.  If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined
      (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error)
      that
      it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for any reason,
      including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain
      sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base
      Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence
      of
      this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such
      inability no longer exist.  Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due
      to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be
      effective on the opening of business on the date of such change.

     

    “Alternate
      Base Rate
      Loans” shall mean Revolving Loans that bear interest at an interest rate
      based on the Alternate Base Rate.

     

    “Applicable
      Percentage” shall mean, for any day, the rate per annum set forth below
      opposite the applicable Level then in effect, it being understood that the
      Applicable Percentage for (i) Revolving Loans which are Alternate Base Rate
      Loans and ABR Swingline Loans shall be the percentage set forth under the column
      “Alternate Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans and ABR Swingline Loans”,
      (ii) Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans, Index Rate Loans, Index
      Rate Swingline Loans and Standby Letter of Credit Fees shall be the percentage
      set forth under the column “LIBOR Rate Margin for Revolving Loans, Index Rate
      Swingline Loans and Standby Letter of Credit Fees”, (iii) Term Loans which are
      Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be the percentage set forth under the column
      “Alternate Base Rate Margin for Term Loans”, (iv)  Term Loans which
      are LIBOR Rate Loans or Index Rate Loans shall be the percentage set forth
      under
      the column “LIBOR Rate Margin for Term Loans”, (v) the Trade Letter of Credit
      Fees shall be the percentage set forth under the column “Trade Letter of Credit
      Fees” and (vi) the Facility Fee shall be the percentage set forth under the

      accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1, (i) a description in reasonable
      detail of any material change in the application of accounting principles
      employed in the preparation of such financial statements from those applied
      in
      the most recently preceding quarterly or annual financial statements as to
      which
      no objection shall have been made in accordance with the provisions above and
      (ii) a reasonable estimate of the effect on the financial statements on account
      of such changes in application.

    THE
      LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS

     

    Section
      2.1 Revolving
      Loans.

     

    (a) Revolving
      Loans and
      Revolving Commitment.  During the Commitment Period, subject to
      the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to
      make
      revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to
      the Borrower from time to time for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however,
      that (i)
      with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, the sum of such Lender’s
      outstanding Revolving Loans plus such Lender’s
      LOC Commitment Percentage of LOC Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s
      Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii)
      with
      regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate amount
      of
      outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding
      Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations
      shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount.  For purposes hereof,
      the aggregate amount available under this Section 2.1(a) shall be THREE HUNDRED
      MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000) (as
      such aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided
      in
      Section 2.5 or increased from time to time as provided in Section 2.23, the
      “Revolving Committed
      Amount”).  Revolving Loans may consist of Alternate Base Rate
      Loans, Index Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the
      Borrower may request, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
      provisions hereof.  LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made by each Revolving
      Lender at its LIBOR Lending Office and Alternate Base Rate Loans and Index
      Rate
      Loans at its Domestic Lending Office.

     

    (b) Revolving
      Loan
      Borrowings.

     

    (i) Notice
      of
      Borrowing.  The Borrower shall request a Revolving Loan
      borrowing by written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing
      which confirmation may be by fax) to the Administrative Agent not later than
      11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of requested borrowing
      in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans and Index Rate Loans, and on the third
      Business Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in the case of LIBOR
      Rate Loans.  Each such request for borrowing shall be irrevocable and
      shall specify (A) that a Revolving Loan is requested, (B) the date of the
      requested borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the aggregate principal
      amount to be borrowed, (D) whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Alternate
      Base Rate Loans, Index Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans or a combination thereof,
      and if LIBOR Rate Loans are requested, the Interest Period(s)
      therefor.  A form of Notice of Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”)
      is attached as Schedule
      2.1(b)(i).  If the Borrower shall fail to specify in any such
      Notice of Borrowing (I) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR
      Rate Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest
      Period of one month, or (II) the Type of Revolving Loan requested, then such
      notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan
      hereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each
      Revolving Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing, the contents
      thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.  LIBOR Rate Loans shall
      not be available hereunder until three (3) Business Days after the Closing
      Date.  Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date may only consist of
      Alternate Base Rate Loans or Index Rate Loans.

     

    (ii) Advances.  Each
      Revolving Lender will make its Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Revolving
      Loan borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
      Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 9.2, or at
      such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, by
      1:00
      P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified in the applicable
      Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in funds immediately available to the
      Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available to
      the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the
      Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made
      available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like
      funds
      as received by the Administrative Agent.

     

    (c) Repayment.  The
      principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on
      the
      Maturity Date (as such term may be modified pursuant to the provisions of
      Section 2.22).

     

    (d) Revolving
      Notes.  Each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
      of the Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note
      of
      the Borrower to such Lender in substantially the form of Schedule 2.1(d), if
      requested by such Lender.

     

    (e) Swingline
      Loans and
      Swingline Commitment.  During the Commitment Period, subject to
      the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in its individual
      capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each
      a
“Swingline
      Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline
      Loans”) for
      the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however,
      (i) the
      aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed
      THIRTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
      ($35,000,000) (the “Swingline
      Committed
      Amount”), and (ii) the sum of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding
      Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations
      shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount.  Swingline Loans
      hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
      hereof.

     

    (f) Swingline
      Loan
      Borrowings.

     

    (i) Notice
      of Borrowing and
      Disbursement.  The Swingline Lender will make Swingline Loans
      available to the Borrower on any Business Day upon request made by the Borrower
      not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on such Business
      Day.  A notice of request for Swingline Loan borrowing shall be made
      in the form of Schedule 2.1(b)(i)
      with appropriate modifications.  Swingline Loan borrowings hereunder
      shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral amounts of $100,000
      in excess thereof.

     

    (ii) Repayment
      of Swingline
      Loans.  Each Swingline Loan borrowing shall have such maturity
      date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower shall agree upon receipt by the
      Swingline Lender of the relevant Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, but
      in
      no event shall the maturity of any Swingline Loan extend beyond the Maturity
      Date.  The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion,
      by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment
      of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan borrowing, in which case
      the
      Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised
      entirely of Index Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however,
      that, in the
      following circumstances, any such demand shall also be deemed to have been
      given
      one Business Day prior to each of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the occurrence
      of
      any Event of Default described in Section 7.1(e), (iii) upon acceleration of
      the
      Credit Party Obligations hereunder, whether on account of an Event of Default
      described in Section 7.1(e) or any other Event of Default, and (iv) the exercise
      of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof (each such
      Revolving Loan borrowing made on account of any such deemed request therefor
      as
      provided herein being hereinafter referred to as “Mandatory
      Borrowing”).  Each Revolving Lender severally hereby
      irrevocably agrees to make its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Loans
      promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Mandatory
      Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence
      and on the same such date notwithstanding (I)
      the amount of Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for
      borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any
      conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default
      or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed
      request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required in Section
      2.1(b)(i), (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (VI) any reduction
      in
      the Revolving Committed Amount or termination of the Revolving Commitments
      immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously
      therewith.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any
      reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result
      of
      the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each Revolving
      Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the
      Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments
      received from the Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase)
      from  the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding
      Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in
      such
      Swingline Loans ratably based upon its respective Revolving Commitment
      Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
      Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2), provided that (A)
      all
      interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the
      Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is
      purchased, and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this
      sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay to
      the
      Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation
      purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory
      Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment
      for
      such participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days
      of the date of the Mandatory Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and
      thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

     

    (g) Interest
      on Swingline
      Loans.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, at the
      Borrower’s election, Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate
      equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
      Percentage for ABR Swingline Loans or (ii) Index Rate plus the Applicable
      Percentage for Index Rate Swingline Loans.  Interest on Swingline
      Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

     

    (h) Swingline
      Note.  The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly
      executed promissory note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the original
      amount of the Swingline Committed Amount and substantially in the form of Schedule
      2.1(h).

     

    Section
      2.2 Term
      Loan.

     

    (a) Making
      of Term
      Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
      reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Term
      Loan Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower on the Closing
      Date such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of a term loan in Dollars
      (the “Term
      Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
      MILLION DOLLARS
      ($250,000,000.00) (the “Term Loan
      Committed
      Amount”) for the purposes hereinafter set forth.  The Term Loan
      may consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans, Index Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans,
      or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided, however,
      the Term
      Loan made on the Closing Date may only consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans
      or
      Index Rate Loans.  Amounts repaid on the Term Loan may not be
      reborrowed.  LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made by each Term Loan Lender
      at its LIBOR Lending Office and Alternate Base Rate Loans and Index Rate Loans
      at its Domestic Lending Office.

     

    (b) Repayment
      of Term
      Loan.  The principal amount of the Term Loan shall be due and
      payable in full on the Maturity Date.

     

    (c) Term
      Notes.  Each Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage
      of the Term Loan shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the
      Borrower to such Lender in substantially the form of Schedule 2.2(c), if
      requested by such Lender.

     

    Section
      2.3 Letter
      of
      Credit Subfacility.

     

    (a) Issuance.  In
      reliance upon the other Revolving Lenders’ obligation to participate therein,
      and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if
      any,
      and any other terms and conditions which the applicable Issuing Lender may
      reasonably require, during the Commitment Period the applicable Issuing Lender
      shall issue, and the Revolving Lenders shall participate in, Letters of Credit
      for the account of the Borrower from time to time upon request in a form
      acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender; provided, however,
      that (i) the
      aggregate amount of LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser
      of
      (A) ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
      DOLLARS ($150,000,000) and (B) the Revolving Committed Amount (the “LOC Committed
      Amount”), (ii) the sum of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans plus outstanding
      Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations
      shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, (iii) all Letters
      of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and (iv) Letters of Credit shall
      be
      issued for lawful corporate purposes and may be issued as standby letters of
      credit, including in connection with workers’ compensation and other insurance
      programs, and trade letters of credit.  Except as
      otherwise expressly agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender and the
      Administrative Agent, no Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date
      beyond one-year; provided, however,
      so long as
      no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to
      the
      other terms and conditions to the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder,
      the
      expiry dates of Letters of Credit may be extended periodically from time to
      time
      on the request of the Borrower or by operation of the terms of the applicable
      Letter of Credit; provided, further,
      that no
      Letter of Credit, as originally issued or as extended, shall have an expiry
      date
      extending beyond the Maturity Date unless the Borrower shall have established
      a
      cash collateral account in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Revolving
      Lenders and deposited therein cash and Cash Equivalents in a sufficient amount
      to adequately secure the LOC Obligations which extend beyond the Maturity
      Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC
      Documents.  The issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit
      shall be a Business Day.  Any Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall
      be in a minimum original face amount of $100,000.

     

    (b) Notice
      and
      Reports.  The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit
      shall be submitted to the applicable Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business
      Days prior to the requested date of issuance.  Each Issuing Lender
      will promptly upon request provide to the Administrative Agent for dissemination
      to the Revolving Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit
      issued by such Issuing Lender which are then issued and outstanding and any
      activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of any
      prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party,
      the
      beneficiary, the face amount, expiry date as well as any payments or expirations
      which may have occurred.  Each Issuing Lender will further provide to
      the Administrative Agent promptly upon request copies of the Letters of Credit
      issued by such Issuing Lender.  Each Issuing Lender will provide to
      the Administrative Agent promptly upon request a summary report of the nature
      and extent of LOC Obligations of such Issuing Lender then
      outstanding.

     

    (c) Participations.  Each
      Revolving Lender upon issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have
      purchased without recourse a risk participation from the applicable Issuing
      Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and
      any
      collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its LOC
      Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of Credit and shall
      absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and
      not
      as surety, and be obligated to pay to the applicable Issuing Lender therefor
      and
      discharge when due, its LOC Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising
      under such Letter of Credit.  Without limiting the scope and nature of
      each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent
      that an Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under
      any LOC Document, each such Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender its LOC
      Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the
      day
      of notification by such Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant
      to
      the provisions of subsection (d) below if such notice is received at or before
      2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time), otherwise such payment shall be
      made
      at or before 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day
      next succeeding the day such notice is received.  The obligation of
      each Revolving Lender to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be
      absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a
      Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event.  Any
      such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of
      the
      Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit,
      together with interest as hereinafter provided.

     

    (d) Reimbursement.  In
      the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing
      Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
      Agent.  The Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on
      the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit (with the proceeds of a Revolving
      Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) in same day funds as provided herein
      or in
      the LOC Documents.  If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the
      applicable Issuing Lender as provided herein, the unreimbursed amount of such
      drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base
      Rate
      plus the Applicable Percentage.  Unless the Borrower shall immediately
      notify the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of its intent
      to otherwise reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall be
      deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan in the amount of the drawing as
      provided in subsection (e) below, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy
      the reimbursement obligations.  The Borrower’s reimbursement
      obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all
      circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense
      to
      payment the Borrower may claim or have against the applicable Issuing Lender,
      the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter
      of Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any
      defense based on any failure of the Borrower to receive consideration or the
      legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of
      Credit.  The applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the other
      Revolving Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Revolving
      Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
      applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the
      amount of such Lender’s LOC Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed
      drawing.  Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is
      received by such Lender from the applicable Issuing Lender if such notice is
      received at or before 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time), otherwise
      such
      payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time)
      on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is
      received.  If such Lender does not pay such amount to the applicable
      Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay
      to
      the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender
      interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing
      until such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Issuing Lender in full
      at a
      rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of
      drawing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to
      the
      Alternate Base Rate.  Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such
      payment to the applicable Issuing Lender, and the right of the applicable
      Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall
      not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the
      termination of this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of
      a
      Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations
      hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
      reduction whatsoever.

     

    (e) Repayment
      with Revolving
      Loans.  On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested,
      or been deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan to reimburse a drawing under
      a
      Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Revolving
      Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in
      connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving
      Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans (each such
      borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”)
      shall be immediately made (without giving effect to any termination of the
      Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) prorata
      based on each
      Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before
      giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2)
      and
      in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) the proceeds thereof shall be paid
      directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for application to the respective
      LOC
      Obligations.  Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make
      such Revolving Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed request on
      account of each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified
      in
      the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (i)
      the amount of Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for
      borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any
      conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default
      or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed
      request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section
      2.1(b), (v) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in
      the
      Revolving Committed Amount after any such Letter of Credit may have been drawn
      upon; provided,
however,
      that
      in the event any such Mandatory Borrowing should be less than the minimum amount
      for borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii),
      the
      Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account an
      administrative fee of $500.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing
      cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including,
      without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the
      Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each such Lender hereby
      agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing
      would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from
      the
      Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) its Participation
      Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations; provided, further,
      that in the
      event any Revolving Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest on
      the
      day the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then the amount
      of
      such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest
      payable to the applicable Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to,
      if
      paid within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective
      Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

     

    (f) Designation
      of Subsidiaries
      as Account Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
      set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.3(a), a
      Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that
      such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary, provided that
      notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be the actual account party
      for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement
      shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect
      to such Letter of Credit.

     

    (g) Modification,
      Extension.  The issuance of any supplement, modification,
      amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes
      hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter
      of
      Credit hereunder.

     

    (h) Uniform
      Customs and
      Practices/International Standby Practices 1998.  The Letters of
      Credit shall be subject to The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
      Credits (the “UCP”) or the
      International Standby Practices 1998 (the “ISP98”), in either
      case as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of
      Commerce, in which case the UCP or ISP98, as applicable, may be incorporated
      therein and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

     

    Section
      2.4 Fees.

     

    (a) Facility
      Fee.  In consideration of the Revolving Commitments, the
      Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit
      of
      the Revolving Lenders a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an
      amount equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum on the Revolving Committed
      Amount, regardless of usage.  The Facility Fee shall be payable
      quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last day of each calendar
      quarter for the prior calendar quarter and upon termination of the applicable
      Commitments.

     

    (b) Letter
      of Credit
      Fees. In consideration of issuance of standby Letters of Credit
      hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Lender (i)
      a fee
      (the “Standby Letter
      of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
      average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such standby
      Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of
      issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage, (ii)
      a
      fee (the “Trade Letter
      of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
      average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such trade Letter
      of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance
      to
      the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage and (iii) an
      additional fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) of
      one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the average daily maximum amount
      available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit issued by it (such
      fronting fee shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender without
      sharing by the other Revolving Lenders).  The applicable Issuing
      Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
      benefit of the Revolving Lenders (including the applicable Issuing Lender)
      the
      Standby Letter of Credit Fee and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee.  The
      Standby Letter of Credit Fee, the Trade Letter of Credit Fee and the Fronting
      Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last
      day
      of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter.

     

    (c) Issuing
      Lender
      Fees.  In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fees and
      Trade Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (b) above, the
      Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account without
      sharing by the other Revolving Lenders the reasonable and customary charges
      from
      time to time of the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment,
      transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under,
      such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender
      Fees”).

     

    (d) Administrative
      Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
      the annual administrative fee as described in the Engagement
      Letter.

     

    Section
      2.5 Reduction
      of the Revolving Commitments.

     

    (a) Voluntary
      Reductions.  The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or
      permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount at
      any
      time or from time to time upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to
      the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as
      practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify
      the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall
      be
      in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
      thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the
      Administrative Agent, provided that no
      such
      reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto,
      and
      to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum
      of
      the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus outstanding
      Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations
      would exceed the Revolving Committed Amount after such proposed
      reduction.

     

    (b) Maturity
      Date.  The Revolving Commitments, the LOC Commitments and the
      Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date; subject
      to the provisions of Section 2.22.

     

    Section
      2.6 Prepayments.

     

    (a) Optional
      Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
      Revolving Loans or Term Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however,
      that (i)
      each partial prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans shall
      be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral
      multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof and (ii) each partial prepayment of
      Index Rate Loans or Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount
      of $100,000 and
      integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
      thereof.  The Borrower shall give irrevocable written notice (or
      telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing which confirmation may be by
      fax)
      to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon
      as
      practicable) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on
      the
      date of the requested prepayment in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans,
      Index
      Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, and on the third Business Day prior to the date
      of the requested prepayment in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Subject
      to the foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 2.6(a) shall be
      applied as the Borrower may elect.  Within the parameters of the
      applications to Loans set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to
      Alternate Base Rate Loans, second to Index Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Rate
      Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.  All prepayments
      under this Section 2.6(a) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but otherwise
      without premium or penalty.  Interest on the principal amount prepaid
      shall be payable (a) at the time of such prepayment with respect to LIBOR Rate
      Loans, along with any costs then due and payable under Section 2.16, and (b)
      with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans, Index Rate Loans and Swingline Loans,
      on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have occurred had such
      loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent, interest
      on the principal amount of any Alternate Base Rate Loans, Index Rate Loans
      or
      Swingline Loans prepaid shall be payable on any date that a prepayment is made
      hereunder to the date of prepayment.  Amounts prepaid on the Revolving
      Loans and Swingline Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms
      hereof.

     

    (b) Mandatory
      Prepayments.  If at any time after the Closing Date, the sum of
      the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding
      Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations
      shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall
      prepay the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
      have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations, in an amount
      sufficient to eliminate such excess.  Such prepayments shall be
      applied first to Swingline Loans, second to Revolving Loans that are Alternate
      Base Rate Loans, third to Revolving Loans that are Index Rate Loans and fourth
      to Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period
      maturities.  All prepayments under this Section 2.6(b) shall be
      subject to Section 2.16 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount
      prepaid to the date of prepayment.  Amounts prepaid on Revolving Loans
      and Swingline Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms
      hereof.

     

    Section
      2.7 Minimum
      Borrowing Amounts and Principal Amounts of Tranches.

     

    (a) Each
      Alternate Base Rate Loan borrowing and each LIBOR Rate Loan borrowing shall
      be
      in a minimum amount of $500,000 and whole multiples of $250,000 in excess
      thereof.

     

    (b) Each
      Swingline Loan borrowing and each Index Rate Loan borrowing shall be in a
      minimum amount of $100,000 and whole multiples of $100,000 in excess
      thereof.

     

    (c) All
      borrowings, payments and prepayments in respect of Revolving Loans shall be
      in
      such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect
      thereto the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans comprising any
      LIBOR Tranche shall either be zero or shall not be less than $500,000 or a
      whole
      multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

     

    Section
      2.8 Interest
      Payments; Default Interest; Interest Payment Dates.

     

    (a) Interest
      Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(b), all
      Loans shall bear interest as follows:

     

    (i) Alternate
      Base Rate
      Loans.  During such periods as any Loans shall be comprised of
      Alternate Base Rate Loans, each such Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear
      interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
      Percentage;

     

    (ii) Index
      Rate
      Loans.  During such periods as any Loans shall be comprised of
      Index Rate Loans, each such Index Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum
      rate equal to the sum of the Index Rate plus the Applicable
      Percentage; and

     

    (iii) LIBOR
      Rate
      Loans.  During such periods as any Loans shall be comprised of
      LIBOR Rate Loans, each such LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum
      rate equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
      Percentage.

     

    (b) Default
      Interest.  Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of
      a Default or an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted
      by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under
      the
      other Credit Documents shall (at the option of the Administrative Agent) bear
      interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater than the applicable
      rate then in effect or, if no rate is then in effect, at a per annum rate 2%
      greater than the Alternate Base Rate.  Upon and during the continuance
      of an Event of Default, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted
      to
      Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period
      for
      any such LIBOR Rate Loans, all Index Rate Loans shall be automatically converted
      to Alternate Base Rate Loans to take effect immediately, and all Index Rate
      Swingline Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Swingline Loans to
      take
      effect immediately.

     

    (c) Interest
      Payment
      Date.  Interest on Loans shall be payable in arrears on each
      Interest Payment Date, subject to Section 2.11.

     

    Section
      2.9 Conversion
      Options.

     

    (a) The
      Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans or
      Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans by giving irrevocable written notice (or
      telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing which confirmation may be by
      fax)
      to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina
      time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested
      conversion.  A form of Notice of Conversion/ Extension is attached as
Schedule
      2.9.  If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate Loan or
      Index Rate Loan is to be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day,
      then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
      during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding
      Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were an Alternate Base
      Rate
      Loan or Index Rate Loan, as applicable.  All or any part of
      outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans or Index Rate Loans may be converted
      as
      provided herein, provided that (i)
      no
      Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of
      Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) partial conversions shall be
      in
      an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
      in
      excess thereof.

     

    (b) Any
      LIBOR
      Rate Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period
      with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions
      contained in Section 2.9(a); provided, that no
      LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default
      has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan shall be automatically
      converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest
      Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower shall fail to give
      timely notice of an election to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation
      of LIBOR Rate Loans is not permitted hereunder, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall
      be
      automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the
      applicable Interest Period with respect thereto.

     

    Section
      2.10 Computation
      of Interest and Fees.

     

    (a) Interest
      payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans based on the Prime
      Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as
      applicable) for the actual days elapsed.  All other interest and fees
      and all other interest amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the
      basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed.  The
      Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
      Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the
      determination thereof.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan
      resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as
      of
      the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base
      Rate shall become effective.  Any change in the interest rate on an
      Index Rate Loan or Index Rate Swingline Loan resulting from a change in the
      Index Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day
      on
      which such change in the Index Rate shall become effective.  The
      Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
      Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

     

    (b) Each
      determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
      provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower
      and
      the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative
      Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement
      showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any
      interest rate.

     

    (c) It
      is the
      intent of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract in
      strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in
      effect.  All agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are
      hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and
      control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and
      whether written or oral.  In no way, nor in any event or contingency
      (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of
      any
      obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or
      received under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed
      the
      maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from
      any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document,
      interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount,
      any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph
      and
      such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount
      permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any
      amendment or new document.  If any Lender shall ever receive anything
      of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law
      and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum
      nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been
      excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the
      principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or
      refunded to the Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such
      amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount
      of
      the Loans.  The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other
      Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the
      right
      to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such
      demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest
      in the event of such demand.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid
      to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by
      applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
      full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that
      the
      amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum
      nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

     

    Section
      2.11 Pro
      Rata
      Treatment and Payments.

     

    (a) Payments
      Generally and Pro
      Rata Treatment.  Each borrowing of Revolving Loans and any
      reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made prorata
      according to the
      respective Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders.  Subject
      to Section 2.11(b) hereof, each payment under this Agreement or any Note shall
      be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by the Borrower pursuant
      to
      Section 2.4, second, to interest then due and owing in respect of the Notes
      of
      the Borrower and, third, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under
      the
      Notes of the Borrower.  Each payment on account of any fees pursuant
      to Section 2.4 shall be made prorata
      in accordance
      with the respective amounts due and owing (except as to the portion of the
      Standby Letter of Credit Fee or Trade Letter of Credit Fee retained by the
      applicable Issuing Lender, the Issuing Lender Fees, the Fronting Fee and fees
      payable to the Administrative Agent).  Each payment by the Borrower on
      account of principal of and interest on the Swingline Loans shall be made to
      the
      Swingline Lender.  Each payment (other than prepayments) by the
      Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans and
      the
      Term Loan shall be made prorata
      according to the
      respective amounts due and owing in accordance with Section 2.6(a)
      hereof.  Each optional prepayment on account of principal of the
      Revolving Loans and the Term Loan shall be applied to such of the Revolving
      Loans and the Term Loan as the Borrower may designate (to be applied prorata
      among the
      Revolving Lenders and Term Loan Lenders, as applicable); provided, that
      prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied in accordance with
      such section.  Each mandatory prepayment on account of principal of
      the Revolving Loans and the Term Loan shall be applied in accordance with
      Section 2.6(b).  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
      the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without
      defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in Section 2.17(b)) and
      shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at
      the
      Administrative Agent’s office specified on Schedule 9.2 in
      Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte,
      North Carolina time) on the date when due.  The Administrative Agent
      shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon
      receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other
      than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other
      than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
      Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon
      shall
      be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  If any
      payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
      Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
      Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
      into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
      immediately preceding Business Day.

     

    (b) Allocation
      of Payments After
      Acceleration.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
      Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the acceleration of the Credit Party
      Obligations pursuant to Section 7.2, all amounts collected or received by the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations
      or
      any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall be paid
      over or delivered to the Administrative Agent and applied as follows:

     

    FIRST,
      to
      the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
      reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with
      enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any
      protective advances made by the Administrative Agent;

     

    SECOND,
      to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

     

    THIRD,
      to
      the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
      reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing
      its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit
      Party Obligations owing to such Lender;

     

    FOURTH,
      to the payment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and accrued interest
      thereon;

     

    FIFTH,
      to
      the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees
      and interest;

     

    SIXTH,
      to
      the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations
      (including the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC
      Obligations);

     

    SEVENTH,
      to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations that shall have
      become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid
      pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SIXTH” above; and

     

    EIGHTH,
      to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled
      to
      receive such surplus.

     

    In
      carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
      numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
      succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal
      to
      its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans
      and
      LOC Obligations held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding
      Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
      clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH”, “SIXTH” and “SEVENTH” above; and (iii) to
      the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause
“SIXTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding
      Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in
      a
      cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender
      from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then,
      following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations
      of
      the types described in clauses “SIXTH” and “SEVENTH” above in the manner
      provided in this Section 2.11(b).

     

    Section
      2.12 Non-Receipt
      of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

     

    (a) Unless
      the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior
      to the date a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective
      upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such
      Loan
      available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume
      that
      such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on
      such
      date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but
      shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding
      amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to
      the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover
      such
      corresponding amount from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay
      such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
      therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the
      Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
      Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover
      from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such
      corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding
      amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the
      date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at
      a per
      annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the
      applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender
      at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

     

    (b) Unless
      the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower,
      prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice
      shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower does not intend to make
      such
      payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
      payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
      assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on
      such
      payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which
      such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made
      such
      payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to
      the
      Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender.  If
      such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date
      such
      amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the
      Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day
      from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
      such
      Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at
      a per
      annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

     

    (c) A
      certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender
      with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive
      in
      the absence of manifest error.

     

    Section
      2.13 Inability
      to Determine Interest Rate.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent shall
      reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent
      manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
      reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for an
      Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which
      determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the
      LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
      of
      funding LIBOR Rate Loans that the Borrower has requested be outstanding as
      a
      LIBOR Tranche during an Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall
      forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing,
      to
      the Borrower, and the Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first
      day
      of such Interest Period.  Unless the Borrower shall have notified the
      Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to
      rescind or modify its request regarding such LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that
      were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as Alternate Base
      Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued
      as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into Alternate Base Rate
      Loans.  Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative
      Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into,
      LIBOR
      Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.

     

    Section
      2.14 Illegality.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in
      any
      Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the
      relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such
      Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as
      contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market
      through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a)
      such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
      thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans
      or
      continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until the
      Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which
      gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans
      then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last
      day
      of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required
      by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans.  The Borrower hereby agrees
      promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary
      to
      compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including
      anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment
      in accordance with this Section including, but not limited to, any interest
      or
      fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
      make
      or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.  A certificate as to any
      additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender,
      through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the
      absence of manifest error.  Each Lender agrees to use reasonable
      efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office) to
      avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to
      this
      Section; provided, however,
      that such
      efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs
      or
      legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to
      be
      material.

     

    Section
      2.15 Requirements
      of Law.

     

    (a) If
      the
      adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
      or
      application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
      (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
      Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

     

    (i) shall
      subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter
      of Credit or any application relating thereto, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by
      it,
      or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof
      (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
      Lender);

     

    (ii) shall
      impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
      loan
      or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities
      in
      or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or
      any
      other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise
      included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

     

    (iii) shall
      impose on such Lender any other condition;

     

    and
      the
      result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making
      or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount
      receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Borrower
      shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
      necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount
      receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined
      by
      such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans or Letters of
      Credit.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
      to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent,
      to
      the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
      error.  Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including
      reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending
      Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might
      otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided, however,
      that such
      efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs
      or
      legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to
      be
      material.

     

    (b) If
      any
      Lender shall have reasonably determined in good faith that the adoption of
      or
      any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
      interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
      corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
      capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
      bank
      or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall
      have
      the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s
      capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
      which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
      change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
      corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably
      deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen
      (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
      such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required
      to
      compensate it for such reduction.  Such a certificate as to any
      additional amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (which
      certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation),
      through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
      manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
      method of averaging and attribution that it shall reasonably deem
      applicable.

     

    (c) The
      agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
      and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     

    Section
      2.16 Indemnity.

     

    The
      Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless
      from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as
      a
      consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount
      of
      or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof,
      (b)
      default by the Borrower in accepting a borrowing after the Borrower has given
      a
      notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) default by the Borrower in
      making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with
      the terms hereof, and/or (d) the making by the Borrower of any payment or
      prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the
      last
      day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but
      not
      limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable
      by
      such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans
      hereunder.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
      pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative
      Agent, to the Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the
      Administrative Agent within thirty days following such default, prepayment
      or
      conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The
      agreements in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and
      payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     

    Section
      2.17 Taxes.

     

    (a) All
      payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be, except as
      provided in Section 2.17(b), made free and clear of, and without deduction
      or
      withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
      assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by
      any
      Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
      thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed
      on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender) and all interest,
      penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded
      taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being
      referred to collectively as “Taxes”).  If
      any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount
      of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
      payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after
      withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than
      the amount provided for herein or in such Note.  The Borrower will
      furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the
      payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies (to
      the
      extent reasonably available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing
      such
      payment by the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
      harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for
      the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender but
      excluding any interest or penalties caused by such Lender’s failure to pay any
      such taxes when due.

     

    (b) Each
      Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
      7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the
      Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender
      that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant
      to Section 9.6(c) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder
      immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such
      assignment or transfer to such Lender, two accurate and complete original signed
      copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, W-8 ECI or W-8 IMY, as
      applicable (or successor forms) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a
      complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments
      to be made under this Agreement and under any Note.  In addition, each
      Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Borrower’s request updated versions
      of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become
      obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms
      as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such
      Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding
      tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any
      Note.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
      2.17(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower
      shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct
      or
      withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or
      taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts
      payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States
      person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S.
      Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided
      to
      the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete
      exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not
      be
      obligated pursuant to Section 2.17(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made
      to
      a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if such Lender has
      not
      provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be
      provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section
      2.17(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
      preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 2.17, the Borrower agrees to
      pay
      additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in
      Section 2.17(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring
      the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld
      by
      it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes
      after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule,
      regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating
      to
      the deducting or withholding of Taxes.

     

    (c) Each
      Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change
      its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to
      avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant
      to
      this Section; provided, however,
      that such
      efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs
      or
      legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to
      be
      material.

     

    (d) If
      the
      Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.17 with respect
      to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of
      tax
      or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment; provided that such
      Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i)
      it
      is in an excess foreign tax credit position or (ii) it believes in good faith,
      in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse
      tax
      consequences to it.  In the event that such Lender receives such a
      refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such
      Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by such
      Lender as a result of such payment by the Borrower.  In the event that
      no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Borrower’s payments to such
      Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), then such Lender shall upon request
      provide a certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit
      for
      such payments.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.17(d) shall
      require a Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the
      amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the basis of its determination
      referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.17(d) to
      the
      Borrower or any other party.

     

    (e) The
      agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
      and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable
      hereunder.

     

    Section
      2.18 Indemnification;
      Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.

     

    (a) In
      addition to its other obligations under Section 2.3, the Borrower hereby agrees
      to protect, indemnify, pay and save the applicable Issuing Lender harmless
      from
      and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs,
      charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the applicable
      Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect,
      of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (ii) the failure of the
      applicable Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a
      result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present
      or
      future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts
      or omissions, herein called “Government
      Acts”).

     

    (b) As
      between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall
      assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by
      the
      beneficiary thereof.  The applicable Issuing Lender shall not be
      responsible:  (i) for 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 any Letter of Credit, even if it should
      in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
      fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
      transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
      Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or
      in
      part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for
      failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions
      required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions,
      interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
      cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
      (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or
      delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
      make
      a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for
      any
      consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing
      Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts.  None of
      the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the applicable Issuing
      Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

     

    (c) In
      furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
      hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the applicable Issuing
      Lender, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
      certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such applicable
      Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower.  It is
      the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied
      to protect and indemnify the applicable Issuing Lender against any and all
      risks
      involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby
      assumed by the Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all risks of
      the
      acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Government
      Authority.  The applicable Issuing Lender shall not, in any way, be
      liable for any failure by the applicable Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay
      any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or
      any
      other cause beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender.

     

    (d) Nothing
      in this Section 2.18 is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the
      Borrower contained in Section 2.3(d) hereof.  The obligations of the
      Borrower under this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this
      Agreement.  No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of
      a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the
      applicable Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this
      Agreement.

     

    (e) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall
      have
      no obligation to indemnify the applicable Issuing Lender in respect of any
      liability incurred by the applicable Issuing Lender arising out of the gross
      negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Lender (including
      action not taken by the applicable Issuing Lender), as determined by a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction.

     

    Section
      2.19 Waiver
      of
      Notice.

     

    (a) Except
      as
      otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower hereby waives notice of
      occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice
      is
      expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement),
      or of any demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement, notice of any
      action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
      under or in respect of any of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder, any
      requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other
      formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit
      Agreement.  The Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any
      extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Credit
      Party
      Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any
      waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent
      or
      the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by the Borrower
      in
      the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision
      of
      this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any and all other
      indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect
      of
      any of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition,
      substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any
      security for any of such Credit Party Obligations or the addition, substitution
      or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower.  Without limiting
      the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower assents to any other action or
      delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent
      or
      the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently
      to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable
      laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this
      Section 2.19, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving the
      Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Agreement,
      it being the intention of the Borrower that, so long as any of the Credit Party
      Obligations remain unsatisfied, the obligations of the Borrower under this
      Agreement shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the
      extent of such performance.  The obligations of the Borrower under
      this Agreement shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding
      up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar
      proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect
      to the Borrower or any Lender.

     

    (b) The
      provisions of this Section 2.19 are made for the benefit of the Administrative
      Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may
      be
      enforced by any such Person from time to time against the Borrower as often
      as
      occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender
      first to marshal any of its claims or to resort to any other source or means
      of
      obtaining payment of any of the Credit Party Obligations or to elect any other
      remedy.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
      Borrower hereby specifically waives the benefits of N.C. Gen. Stat. §§26-7
      through 26-9, inclusive, to the extent applicable.  The provisions of
      this Section 2.19 shall remain in effect until all the Credit Party Obligations
      hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully
      satisfied.  If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in
      respect of any of the Credit Party Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise
      be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
      reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section
      2.19 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had
      not
      been made.

     

    (c) Notwithstanding
      any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
      Documents or Hedging Agreements, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
      shall
      be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not
      render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of
      the
      Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state
      law.

     

    Section
      2.20 Defaulting
      Lenders; Limitation on Claims.

     

    (a) Generally.  In
      addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative
      Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, if at any time
      a
      Lender is a Defaulting Lender such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in
      the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
      including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to
      or
      to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken
      into
      account in the calculation of the Required Lenders, shall be suspended during
      the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting
      Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent
      of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without
      giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and
      remedies which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have under the
      immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall
      be
      entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such
      delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due
      until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective
      Rate,
      (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted
      payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such
      Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document until such
      defaulted payment and related interest has been paid in full and such default
      no
      longer exists and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting
      Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount
      and
      any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Administrative
      Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such
      Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by the Administrative Agent
      and
      either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following
      subsection (b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the default of such
      Defaulting Lender being cured.

     

    (b) Purchase
      of Defaulting
      Lender’s Commitment.  Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender
      shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire
      all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  If more than one Lender
      exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire such
      proportion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata
      basis.  Upon any such purchase, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in
      the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof
      or
      under the Credit Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate
      to
      the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on
      the
      date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents
      reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser
      thereof subject to and in accordance with the requirements set forth in
      Section 9.6, including an appropriate Assignment and
      Assumption.  The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting
      Lender shall be equal to the sum of the amount of the principal balance of
      the
      Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender, plus any
      accrued interest with respect thereto, plus any fees or other amounts owed
      by
      the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  Prior to payment of such
      purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall apply
      against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Administrative Agent
      pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding
      subsection (a).  The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to
      receive all amounts owed to it by the Borrower on account of principal of and
      interest on the Loans and the Notes, and fees and other amounts due under the
      Credit Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the
      Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Administrative
      Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower.  There shall be no recourse
      against any Lender or the Administrative Agent for the payment of such sums
      by
      the Borrower except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other
      party or in respect of the Loans.

     

    Section
      2.21 Replacement
      of Lenders.

     

    If
      any
      Lender shall become affected by any of the changes or events described in
      Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.17 (any such Lender being hereinafter
      referred to as a “Replaced Lender”) and
      shall petition the Borrower for any increased cost or amounts thereunder, then
      in such case, the Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to
      the Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender, designate a replacement
      lender (a “Replacement
      Lender”) acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
      discretion, to which such Replaced Lender shall, subject to its receipt (unless
      a later date for the remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Borrower
      and
      the Replaced Lender) of all amounts owed to such Replaced Lender under
      Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.17 assign all (but not less than all) of its
      rights, obligations, Loans and Commitments hereunder; provided, that all
      amounts owed to such Replaced Lender by the Borrower (except liabilities which
      by the terms hereof survive the payment in full of the Loans and termination
      of
      this Agreement) shall be paid in full as of the date of such
      assignment.  Upon any assignment by any Lender pursuant to this
      Section 2.21 becoming effective, the Replacement Lender shall thereupon be
      deemed to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and such Replaced
      Lender shall thereupon cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement
      and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder (other than pursuant
      to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.5 while such Replaced Lender was a
      Lender).

     

    Notwithstanding
      any Replaced Lender’s failure or refusal to assign its rights, obligations,
      Loans and Commitments under this Section 2.21, the Replaced Lender shall
      cease to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Replacement
      Lender substituted therefor upon payment to the Replaced Lender by the
      Replacement Lender of all amounts set forth in this Section 2.21 without
      any further action of the Replaced Lender.

     

    Section
      2.22 Extension
      of Maturity Date in respect of Revolving Commitments.

     

    (a) Requests
      for
      Extension.  The Borrower may, pursuant to this Section 2.22,
      with respect to the Revolving Commitments only, request up to two one-year
      extensions of the Maturity Date.  The Borrower may at any time, but
      not later than the date that is 45 days prior to the Maturity Date then in
      effect hereunder in respect of the Revolving Commitments (the “Existing Maturity
      Date”), by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify
      the Lenders), request that each Revolving Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity
      Date in respect of the Revolving Commitments  (an “Extension Request”)
      for an additional 365 days from the Existing Maturity Date; provided, however,
      in no event
      shall the Maturity Date of the Revolving Commitments be extended under this
      Section 2.22 beyond the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date of this
      Agreement.

     

    (b) Lender
      Elections to
      Extend.  Each Revolving Lender, acting in its sole and
      individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not
      later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is
      30 days following the date of the delivery of the applicable Extension Request
      to the Administrative Agent, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not
      such
      Revolving Lender agrees to such extension (and each Revolving Lender that
      determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending
      Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly
      after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and
      any Revolving Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or
      before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending
      Lender).  The election of any Revolving Lender to agree to such
      extension shall not obligate any other Revolving Lender to so
      agree.

     

    (c) Notification
      by
      Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify
      the Borrower of each Revolving Lender’s determination under this Section no
      later than the date that is 10 days following the Notice Date (or, if such
      date
      is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

     

    (d) Additional
      Commitment
      Lenders.  The Borrower shall have the right on or before the
      Existing Maturity Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as
      “Revolving Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible
      Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment
      Lender”) as provided in Section 2.21, each of which Additional Commitment
      Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which
      such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Maturity
      Date, undertake a Revolving Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment
      Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to
      any
      other Commitment of such Lender hereunder on such date).

     

    (e) Minimum
      Extension
      Requirement.  If (and only if) the total of the Revolving
      Commitments of the Revolving Lenders that have agreed so to extend their
      Maturity Date and the additional Revolving Commitments of the Additional
      Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the
      Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Existing Maturity
      Date,
      then, effective as of the date of such agreement by such Revolving Lenders,
      the
      Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender
      and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling
      365 days after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not
      a
      Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding
      Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become
      a
“Revolving Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

     

    (f) Conditions
      to Effectiveness
      of Extensions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of
      the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect
      to any Revolving Lender unless:

     

    (i) no
      Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension
      and
      after giving effect thereto;

     

    (ii) the
      representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct
      on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as
      though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty
      is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific
      date); and

     

    (iii) on
      the
      Maturity Date of loans by each Non-Extending Lender, the Borrower shall prepay
      any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts
      required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding
      Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Commitment Percentages of
      the
      respective Revolving Lenders effective as of such date.

     

    (g) Conflicting
      Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in
      Section 2.11 or 9.1 to the contrary.

     

    Section
      2.23 Increase
      in Revolving Commitments.

     

    (a) Request
      for
      Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the
      Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders), the
      Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Commitments
      by an amount (for all such requests in the aggregate) not exceeding ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
      ($100,000,000.00); provided that
      (i) any
      such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and
      in
      integral multiples of $5,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum
      of
      two such requests.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower
      (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period
      within which each Revolving Lender is requested to respond (which shall in
      no
      event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice
      to
      the Revolving Lenders).

     

    (b) Lender
      Elections to
      Increase.  Each Revolving Lender shall notify the
      Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
      increase its Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to,
      greater than, or less than its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such requested
      increase.  Any Revolving Lender not responding within such time period
      shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving
      Commitment.

     

    (c) Notification
      by
      Administrative Agent; Additional Revolving Lenders.  The
      Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Lender of
      the
      Revolving Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To
      achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval
      of
      the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which
      approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite
      additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Lenders pursuant to a joinder
      agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
      its
      counsel.

     

    (d) Effective
      Date and
      Allocations.  If the Revolving Commitments are increased in
      accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall
      determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit
      Increase
      Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such
      increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
      and the Revolving Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the
      Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

     

    (e) Conditions
      to Effectiveness
      of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the
      Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit
      Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (in sufficient
      copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party
      (i)
      certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving
      or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying
      that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations
      and warranties contained in Article III and the other Credit Documents are
      true
      and correct on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except
      to
      the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an
      earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date,
      and except that for purposes of this Section 2.23, the representations and
      warranties contained in Section 3.1 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent
      statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section
      5.1, and (B) no Default exists.  The Borrower shall prepay any
      Revolving Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date
      (and
      pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent
      necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised
      Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the
      Revolving Commitments under this Section.

     

    (f) Conflicting
      Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in
      Section 2.11 or 9.1 to the contrary.

      AND WARRANTIES

     

    To

      the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Extensions of Credit
      herein provided for, the Credit Parties hereby represent and warrant to the
      Administrative Agent and to each Lender that:

     

    Section
      3.1 Financial
      Condition.

     

    The
      audited consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of income,
      retained earnings and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the
      fiscal year ending February 3, 2007, and the unaudited condensed consolidated
      balance sheets and the related condensed statements of income and cash flows
      of
      the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ending November 3, 2007
      are complete and correct and present fairly, in all material respects, the
      financial condition of, and the results of operations for, such Persons as
      of
      such dates.  All such financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved
      (except as disclosed therein).  None of the Parent nor its
      Subsidiaries have on the date hereof any material contingent liabilities,
      liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized
      or
      anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to
      or
      reflected or provided for in the balance sheets referred to above.

     

    Section
      3.2 No
      Change.

     

    Since
      February 3, 2007 (and after delivery of annual audited financial statements
      in
      accordance with Section 5.1(a), from the date of the most recently delivered
      annual audited financial statements) there has been no development or event
      which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

      to
      conduct business and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where
      its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
      requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to so qualify
      or be in good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
      to
      have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements
      of
      Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in
      the
      aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    Each
      of
      the Credit Parties has full power and authority and the legal right to make,
      deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken
      all
      necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it
      of
      the Credit Documents to which it is party.  No consent or
      authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of,
      any
      Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the
      borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery or performance of any
      Credit Document by any Credit Party (other than those which have been obtained)
      or with the validity or enforceability of any Credit Document against any Credit
      Party (except such filings as are necessary in connection with the perfection
      of
      the Liens, if any, created by such Credit Documents).  Each Credit
      Document to which any Credit Party is a party has been duly executed and
      delivered by such Credit Party.  Each Credit Document to which any
      Credit Party is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
      such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with
      its
      terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement
      of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
      enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

     

    Section
      3.5 No
      Legal
      Bar; No Default.

     

    The
      execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents, the borrowings
      thereunder and the use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate any
      Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Parent or its
      Subsidiaries (except those as to which waivers or consents have been obtained),
      and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien
      on
      any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any
      Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation other than the Liens arising under
      or contemplated in connection with the Credit Documents.  Neither the
      Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any
      of
      its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected
      to
      have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has
      occurred and is continuing.

      3.6 No
      Material Litigation.

     

    No
      litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or
      Governmental Authority is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Credit
      Parties, threatened by or against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or
      against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect
      to the Credit Documents or any Loan or any of the transactions contemplated
      hereby, or (b) which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected
      to
      have a Material Adverse Effect.

      Company Act.

     

    Neither
      the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment
      Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     

    Section
      3.8 Margin
      Regulations.

     

    No
      part
      of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used directly or indirectly for
      any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions
      of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
      as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.  The aggregate value
      of all “margin stock” owned by the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a group

      made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued
      benefits; and

      above; or (v) the Parent or any Subsidiary shall generally not, or shall be
      unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they
      become due; or

     

    (f) One
      or
      more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Parent or any of its
      Subsidiaries involving in the aggregate a liability (to the extent not paid
      when
      due or covered by insurance) of $5,000,000 or more and all such judgments or
      decrees shall not have been paid and satisfied, vacated, discharged, stayed
      or
      bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or

     

    (g) (i)
      Any
      Person shall engage in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406
      of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) involving any Plan, (ii) any “accumulated
      funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived,
      shall exist with respect to any Plan or any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a
      Plan
      (other than a Permitted Lien) shall arise on the assets of the Parent, any
      of
      its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity, (iii) a Reportable Event
      shall occur with respect to, or proceedings shall commence to have a trustee
      appointed, or a trustee shall be appointed, to administer or to terminate,
      any
      Single Employer Plan, which Reportable Event or commencement of proceedings
      or
      appointment of a Trustee is, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders,
      likely to result in the termination of such Plan for purposes of Title IV of
      ERISA, (iv) any Single Employer Plan shall terminate for purposes of Title
      IV of
      ERISA, (v) the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity
      shall, or in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders is likely to, incur
      any liability in connection with a withdrawal from, or the Insolvency or ERISA
      Reorganization of, any Multiemployer Plan or (vi) any other similar event or
      condition shall occur or exist with respect to a Plan; and in each case in
      clauses (i) through (vi) above, such event or condition, together with all
      other
      such events or conditions, if any, could have a Material Adverse Effect;
      or

     

    (h) A
      reasonable basis shall exist for the assertion against the Parent or any of
      its
      Subsidiaries, or any predecessor in interest of the Parent or any of its
      Subsidiaries, of (or there shall have been asserted against the Parent or any
      of
      its Subsidiaries) an Environmental Claim that, in the judgment of the Required
      Lenders, is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to the Parent or any
      of
      its Subsidiaries, and the amount thereof (either individually or in the
      aggregate) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (insofar
      as
      such amount is payable by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries but after
      deducting any portion thereof that is reasonably expected to be paid by other
      creditworthy Persons jointly and severally liable therefor); or

     

    (i) A
      Change
      of Control shall occur; or

     

    (j) The
      Guaranty or any provision thereof shall cease to be in full force and effect
      or
      any Guarantor or any Person acting by or on behalf of any Guarantor shall deny
      or disaffirm any Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty; or

     

    (k) Any
      other
      Credit Document shall fail to be in full force and effect or to give the
      Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders the security interests, liens, rights,
      powers and privileges purported to be created thereby (except as such documents
      may be terminated or no longer in force and effect in accordance with the terms
      thereof, other than those indemnities and provisions which by their terms shall
      survive).

     

    Section
      7.2 Acceleration;
      Remedies.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence of an Event of Default, then, and in any such event, (a) if such
      event is an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(e) above, automatically
      the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest
      thereon), and all other amounts under the Credit Documents (including without
      limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under Letters of
      Credit) shall immediately become due and payable, the Administrative Agent
      shall
      have the right to enforce any and all other rights and interests created and
      existing under the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all rights
      and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of set-off, and the
      Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any and all other rights
      and remedies of a creditor under applicable law, and (b) if such event is any
      other Event of Default, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
      Administrative Agent may, or upon the written request of the Required Lenders,
      the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all
      of
      the following actions: (i) declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith,
      whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; (ii) declare the Loans
      (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement
      and the Notes to be due and payable forthwith and direct the Borrower to pay
      to
      the Administrative Agent cash collateral as security for the LOC Obligations
      for
      subsequent drawings under then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal
      to the maximum amount of which may be drawn under Letters of Credit then
      outstanding, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; (iii)
      enforce any and all other rights and interests created and existing under the
      Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies against
      a Guarantor and all rights of set-off; and (iv) enforce any and all other rights
      and remedies of a creditor under applicable law.  Except as expressly
      provided above in this Section 7.2, presentment, demand, protest and all other
      notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

      VIII 

     

    THE
      AGENT

     

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

     

    Section
      8.2 Rights
      as
      a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
      hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender
      as
      any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
      Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall,
      unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
      include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
      individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept
      deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other
      advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the
      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
      8.3 Exculpatory
      Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
      or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit
      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 Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit Document or applicable law;
      and

     

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

     

    The
      Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
      by it
      (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
      other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
      Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under
      the
      circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and
7.2)
      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
      Lender.

     

    The
      Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
      or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
      connection with this Agreement or any other Credit 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 Credit 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
      8.4 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 Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that
      such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless
      the
      Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
      or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
      Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
      counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and
      other
      experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
      taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
      or
      experts.

     

    Section
      8.5 Delegation
      of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of
      its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
      Credit 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
      8.6 Resignation
      of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any
      time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and
      the
      Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
      Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (so
      long as no Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or an
      Affiliate of any such bank.  If no such successor shall have been so
      appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
      within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
      resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders
      and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
      qualifications set forth above provided that if
      the
      Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
      qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
      nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the
      retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
      obligations hereunder and under the other Credit 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 Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint
      a
      successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
      paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
      Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
      vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
      (or
      retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall
      be
      discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
      Credit 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 Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article
      and Section 9.5
      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
      8.7 Non-Reliance
      on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the
      Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
      upon
      the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
      and
      based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
      its
      own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each
      Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
      and
      without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
      their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall
      from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
      or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit
      Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
      thereunder.

     

    Section
      8.8 No
      Other
      Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
      none of the Bookrunners, Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) or
      Arrangers, as applicable, listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
      duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit
      Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent,
      a
      Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    Section
      9.1 Amendments,
      Etc.; Non-Consenting Lenders.

     

    Neither
      this Credit Agreement, nor any of the Notes, nor any of the other Credit
      Documents, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived
      or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section nor may
      the
      Borrower or any Guarantor be released except in accordance with the provisions
      of this Section 9.1.  The Required Lenders may, or, with the written
      consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to
      time, (a) enter into with the Borrower or any other Credit Party written
      amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit
      Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Credit Agreement
      or
      the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders
      or of the Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or thereunder or (b)
      waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in
      such
      instrument, any of the requirements of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit
      Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however,
      that no such
      waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or release
      shall:

     

    (i) reduce
      the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or
      any
      installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable
      hereunder (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased
      post-default rate set forth in Section 2.8(b) which shall be determined by
      a
      vote of the Required Lenders) or extend the scheduled date of any payment
      thereof or forgive any principal, interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend
      the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written
      consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or

     

    (ii) increase
      the amount of any Lender’s Commitment without the written consent of such
      Lender; or

     

    (iii) amend,
      modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the percentage
      specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent
      of
      all Lenders; or

     

    (iv) amend,
      modify or waive any provision of Article VIII without the written consent of
      the
      Administrative Agent; or

     

    (v) release
      the Borrower or a substantial portion of the Guarantors from their obligations
      hereunder or under the Guaranty, without the written consent of all Lenders;
      or

     

    (vi) permit
      the Borrower to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
      Credit Agreement or other Credit Documents without the written consent of all
      Lenders; or

     

    (vii) amend,
      modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent,
      approval or request of the Required Lenders or all Lenders without the written
      consent of all of the Required Lenders or Lenders as appropriate;
      or

     

    (viii) amend,
      modify or waive the order in which Credit Party Obligations are paid in
      Section 2.11(b) without the written consent of all Lenders; or

     

    (ix) amend
      or
      modify the definition of Credit Party Obligations to delete or exclude any
      obligation or liability described therein without the written consent of each
      Lender directly affected thereby;

     

    provided,
further,
      that no
      amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the
      Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under any
      Credit Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed
      by
      the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as
      applicable, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such
      action.

     

    In
      the
      event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting
      Lender”) fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification,
      termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof or of any
      other Credit Document that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders
      or the approval of all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, in each case
      in
      accordance with the terms of this Section 9.1, the Borrower shall be permitted
      to replace such Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution
      satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, so long as the consent of the Required
      Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification,
      termination, waiver or consent; provided that
      (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable law, treaty,
      rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other
      Governmental Authority, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall
      purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to the Non-Consenting Lender
      pursuant to the Credit Documents on or prior to the date of replacement,
      (iii) the replacement financial institution shall approve the proposed
      amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, (iv) the Borrower
      shall
      be liable to the Non-Consenting Lender under Section 2.16 if any LIBOR Rate
      Loan
      owing to the Non-Consenting Lender shall be purchased other than on the last
      day
      of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the Non-Consenting Lender shall
      be
      obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section
      9.6(c) (provided that the
      Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred
      to therein), (vi) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated,
      the
      Borrower shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender all additional amounts (if
      any)
      required pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be,
      (vii)
      the Borrower provides at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the
      Non-Consenting Lender, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed
      to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or
      any
      other Lender shall have against the Non-Consenting Lender.  In the
      event any Non-Consenting Lender fails to execute the agreements required under
      Section 9.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.1,
      the
      Borrower may, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Non-Consenting
      Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of the Non-Consenting Lender.

     

    Any
      such
      waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release
      shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
      Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and
      all future holders of the Notes.  In the case of any waiver, the
      Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
      shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
      outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents, and any Default or
      Event
      of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
      waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default,
      or
      impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Credit Parties shall
      not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions
      of
      Article VIII (other than the provisions of Section 8.6); provided, however,
      that the
      Administrative Agent will provide written notice to the Borrower of any such
      amendment, modification or waiver.  In addition, the Borrower and the
      Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to modify this Credit
      Agreement by unilaterally amending or supplementing Schedule 2.1(a) from time
      to
      time in the manner requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
      Lender in order to reflect any assignments or transfers of the Loans as provided
      for hereunder; provided that the
      Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of any such modification
      to
      the Borrower and each Lender.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
      circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such
      Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans,
      and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the
      Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein
      and
      (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash
      collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

    Section
      9.5 Payment
      of Expenses and Taxes.

     

    The
      Credit Parties agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all
      its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
      the
      development, preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any
      amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit
      Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith,
      and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby
      and thereby, together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
      to
      the Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the
      Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection
      with
      the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Notes
      and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable
      fees
      and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders
      (including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel), (c) on demand,
      to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless
      from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with
      respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other
      similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in
      connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration
      of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
      modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Credit
      Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold
      each
      Lender and the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates harmless from and
      against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
      actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
      nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
      performance and administration of the Credit Documents and any such other
      documents and the use, or proposed use, of proceeds of the Loans and whether
      or
      not the Administrative Agent, the relevant Lenders and their Affiliates are
      parties to the claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding from which
      any of the aforementioned arises (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified
      liabilities”); provided,
however,
      that the
      Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent
      or
      any Lender with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross
      negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender,
      as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreements in
      this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment or assignment of the Loans, Notes
      and
      all other amounts payable hereunder.

     

    Section
      9.6 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 Credit 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 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
      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 any
      such assignment shall be subject to the following
      conditions:

     

    (i) Minimum
      Amounts.

     

    (A)           
      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, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum
      amount need be assigned; and

     

    (B)           
      in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, 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, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving
      Commitment, or $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the
      Term
      Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
      Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each
      such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, in
      connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds,
      such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining
      compliance with the minimum assignment amount[s] referred to above.

     

    (ii) Proportionate
      Amounts.  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 Loans or the Commitments
      assigned.

     

    (iii) Required
      Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment
      except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
      addition:

     

    (A)           
      the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
      delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and
      is
      continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender,
      an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     

    (B)           
      the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i)
      Revolving Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender
      with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender
      or an
      Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) the Term Loan to a Person
      who
      is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     

    (C)           
      the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
      or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation
      of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit
      (whether or not then outstanding); and

     

    (D)           
      the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the
      Revolving Commitments.

     

    (iv) Assignment
      and
      Assumption.  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; provided that in
      the
      case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
      Fund,
      no such fee shall be required, and the assignee,
      if it is
      not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
      Questionnaire.

     

    (v) No
      Assignment to
      Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or
      any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

     

    (vi) No
      Assignment to Natural
      Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural
      person.

     

    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 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 Sections 2.16 and 9.5 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 its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of
      each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
      recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
      of,
      and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
      hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The
      entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
      Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
      recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
      for
      all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
      contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
      Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
      reasonable prior notice.

     

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

     

    Any
      agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
      shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
      Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
      any  provision of this Agreement; provided that such
      agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
      consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
      described in clauses (iv), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) (in connection with the
      written consent of all Lenders only) and (xiii) that affects such
      Participant.  Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower
      agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
      2.16 to the same
      extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
      pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by
      law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
      Section 9.7 as though it were
      a
      Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.7 as though it were
      a
      Lender.

     

    (e) Limitations
      upon Participant
      Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
      greater payment under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 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 is not a United States person (as such term is defined in
      Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
      Section 2.17 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 2.17(a) as though it were
      a
      Lender.

     

    (f) Certain
      Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
      security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
      to
      secure obligations of such Lender, including 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.  Each Credit Party (and each Lender and the Issuing Lender,
      and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons) agrees to cooperate
      with
      the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any pledge or
      assignment or any Participation and/or securities created pursuant to this
      Section, including delivery of any documentation reasonably requested by the
      Administrative Agent or a Lender in connection therewith.

     

    Section
      9.7 Adjustments;
      Set-off.

     

    (a) Each
      Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”)
      shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest
      thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily
      or
      involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
      referred to in Section 7.1(e), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any
      such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect
      of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall
      purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
      portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders
      with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall
      be
      necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
      of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
      that if all
      or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
      such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
      and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
      interest.  The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a
      portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including,
      without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully
      as
      if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

     

    (b) In
      addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including,
      without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right,
      without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived
      by
      the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence
      of
      any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits
      (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
      and
      any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
      direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
      held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the
      credit or the account of the Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts
      as
      such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities
      of the Borrower to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and
      description of such Lender against the Borrower, in any currency, whether
      arising hereunder, under the Notes or under any documents contemplated by or
      referred to herein or therein, as such Lender may elect, whether or not such
      Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations,
      liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured.  The aforesaid
      right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against
      any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
      creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the
      Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or
      any
      such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit
      of
      creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor,
      notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been
      exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of
      Default.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
      Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender;
      provided, however,
      that the
      failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
      application.

    Section

    This
      Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement
      of
      the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with
      respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
      representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the

    Section
      9.13 Governing
      Law.

     

    This
      Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under
      this
      Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted
      in
      accordance with, the law of the State of North Carolina.

     

    Section
      9.14 Consent
      to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

     

    All
      judicial proceedings brought against the Borrower and/or any other Credit Party
      with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Credit Documents
      may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the
      State of North Carolina, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement,
      the
      Borrower and the other Credit Parties accepts, for itself and in connection
      with
      its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction
      of
      the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment
      rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has
      been
      taken or is available.  The Borrower and the other Credit Parties
      irrevocably agrees that all service of process in any such proceedings in any
      such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
      mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at
      its
      address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the
      Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service
      being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to be
      effective and binding service in every respect.  The Borrower, the
      other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders each irrevocably
      waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying
      of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or
      hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any such
      jurisdiction.  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process
      in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Lender
      to
      bring proceedings against the Borrower or the other Credit Parties in the court
      of any other jurisdiction.

     

    Section
      9.15 Arbitration.

     

    (a) Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 9.14 to the contrary, upon demand of any
      party
      hereto, whether made before or within three (3) months after institution of
      any
      judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected
      with or relating to this Agreement and other Credit Documents (“Disputes”) between
      or
      among parties to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration as
      provided herein.  Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does
      not waive the right of that party to demand arbitration
      hereunder.  Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims,
      counterclaims, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, claims
      brought as class actions, claims arising from Credit Documents executed in
      the
      future, or claims arising out of or connected with the transaction reflected
      by
      this Agreement.

     

    Arbitration
      shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the
      “Arbitration
      Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”)
      and Title 9 of
      the U.S. Code.  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 be concluded within 120 days
      of
      demand for arbitration.  These time limitations may not be extended
      unless a party shows cause for extension and then no more than a total extension
      of 60 days.  The expedited procedures set forth in Rule 51 etseq.
      of the
      Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to claims of less than
      $1,000,000.  All applicable statutes of limitation shall apply to any
      Dispute.  A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
      jurisdiction.  Arbitrators shall be licensed attorneys selected from
      the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA.  The
      parties hereto do not waive applicable Federal or state substantive law except
      as provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration
      provision does not apply to disputes under or related to Hedging
      Agreements.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
      the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the Administrative Agent, the
      Lenders, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties agree to preserve, without
      diminution, certain remedies that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
      Lenders may employ or exercise freely, independently or in connection with
      an
      arbitration proceeding or after an arbitration action is brought.  The
      Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders 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 granted
      under Credit Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and
      sale, including a proceeding to confirm the sale; (ii) all rights of self-help
      including peaceful occupation of real property and collection of rents, set-off,
      and peaceful possession of personal property; and (iii) obtaining provisional
      or
      ancillary remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment,
      attachment, appointment of receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy
      proceeding.  Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power
      of an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party
      in a
      Dispute.

     

    (c) The
      parties hereto agree that they shall not have a remedy of punitive or exemplary
      damages against the other 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) By
      execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto accepts,
      for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally,
      the non-exclusive jurisdiction relating to any arbitration proceedings conducted
      under the Arbitration Rules in Charlotte, North Carolina and irrevocably agrees
      to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this
      Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available.

     

    Section
      9.16 Confidentiality.

     

    Each
      of
      the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender 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, under any other Credit Document or Hedging Agreement
      or
      any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Credit Document
      or Hedging Agreement 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) subject
      to each such Person being informed of the confidential nature
      of the
      Information and to their agreement to keep such Information confidential on
      substantially the same terms as required by this Section, to (i) an investor or prospective
      investor in securities issued by an Approved Fund that also agrees that
      Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment
      in
      such securities issued by the Approved Fund, (ii) a trustee, collateral
      manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities
      issued by an Approved Fund in connection with the administration, servicing
      and
      reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by an
      Approved Fund, or (iii) a nationally recognized rating agency that requires
      access to information regarding the Credit Parties, the Loans and Credit
      Documents in connection with ratings issued in respect of securities issued
      by
      an Approved Fund; (h) with
      the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information
      (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
      Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
      the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential
      basis from a source other than the Borrower.

     

    For
      purposes of this Section, “Information” shall
      mean all information received in writing 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 Lender on a nonconfidential
      basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its
      Subsidiaries.  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.

     

    Section
      9.17 Acknowledgments.

     

    The
      Borrower and the other Credit Parties each hereby acknowledge that:

     

    (a) it
      has
      been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each
      Credit Document;

     

    (b) neither
      the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
      or
      duty to the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of or in connection
      with this Agreement and the relationship between Administrative Agent and
      Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, on the
      other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
      and

     

    (c) no
      joint
      venture exists among the Lenders or among the Borrower or the other Credit
      Parties and the Lenders.

     

    Section
      9.18 Waivers
      of Jury Trial.

     

    THE
      BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
      HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
      APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO
      THIS
      AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

     

    ARTICLE
      X

     

    GUARANTY

     

    Section
      10.1 The
      Guaranty.

     

    In
      order
      to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit
      hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the
      Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder, each of the Guarantors
      hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as
      follows:  each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
      jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety
      the
      full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or
      otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Administrative
      Agent and the Lenders.  If any or all of the indebtedness of the
      Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders becomes due and payable
      hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness
      to
      the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on order, on demand, together with
      any
      and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent
      or
      the Lenders in collecting any of the indebtedness.  The word
“indebtedness” is used in this Article X in its most comprehensive sense and
      includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the
      Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement, in each case, heretofore,
      now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or
      involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined
      or
      undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced,
      or
      extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower may
      be
      liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such
      indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations,
      and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise
      unenforceable.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
      Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated
      to
      be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation,
      because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent
      conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder
      shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable
      law
      (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy
      Code).

     

    Section
      10.2 Bankruptcy.

     

    Additionally,
      each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
      severally the payment of any and all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders
      whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of
      the
      events specified in Section 7.1(e), and unconditionally promises to pay
      such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders,
      or
      order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.  Each of the
      Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor
      shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part
      thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
      or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower or a
      Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or
      any
      other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
      equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the
      obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
      continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

     

    Section
      10.3 Nature
      of
      Liability.

     

    The
      liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any
      security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the Borrower whether
      executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party,
      and
      no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any
      direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party,
      or
      (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability
      of
      a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Borrower, or
      (c)
      any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or
      (d)
      any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by
      the
      Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
      on
      the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay the
      Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
      moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives
      any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason
      of any such proceeding.  The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder
      are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
      validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or any
      other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent
      permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever
      which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
      of a
      surety or a guarantor.

     

    Section
      10.4 Independent
      Obligation.

     

    The
      obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations
      of
      any other Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be
      brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought
      against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other
      Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.

     

    Section
      10.5 Authorization.

     

    Each
      of
      the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender without
      notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
      be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from
      time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise
      change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the
      indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including
      any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold
      security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty
      or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security,
      (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the
      Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and
      (d)
      release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or
      other obligors.

     

    Section
      10.6 Reliance.

     

    It
      is not
      necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the
      capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or
      agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made
      or
      created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
      guaranteed hereunder.

     

    Section
      10.7 Waiver.

     

    (a) Each
      of
      the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
      statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender
      to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party,
      (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other
      guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the
      Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever.  Each of the
      Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
      Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full
      of
      the indebtedness, including without limitation any defense based on or arising
      out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party,
      or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause,
      or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than
      payment in full of the indebtedness.  Without limiting the generality
      of the provisions of this Article X, each of the Guarantors hereby specifically
      waives the benefits of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 26-7 through 26-9,
      inclusive.  The Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at
      their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent
      or a
      Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect
      of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is
      permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
      Administrative Agent and any Lender may have against the Borrower or any other
      party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability
      of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness has been
      paid.  Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any
      such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, even though
      such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or
      subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower
      or
      any other party or any security.

     

    (b) Each
      of
      the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and
      notices of nonperformance, notices of amendments or modifications to this
      Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, notice of protest, notices
      of
      dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence,
      creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness.  Each
      Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed
      of
      the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances
      bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope
      and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder,
      and
      agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
      duty
      to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances
      or risks.

     

    (c) Each
      of
      the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation
      which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether
      contractual, under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to
      the
      claims of the Lenders against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the
      indebtedness of the Borrower owing to the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and
      all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution
      or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as
      a
      result of this Guaranty until such time as the Loans hereunder shall have been
      paid and the Commitments have been terminated.  Each of the Guarantors
      hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy
      which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders now have or may hereafter have
      against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any
      part
      of the indebtedness of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to
      participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the
      Lenders to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Borrower until such time
      as
      the Loans hereunder shall have been paid and the Commitments have been
      terminated.

     

    Section
      10.8 Limitation
      on Enforcement.

     

    The
      Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the
      Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and
      that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to
      enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and
      remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
      Lenders upon the terms of this Agreement.  The Lenders further agree
      that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee
      or stockholder of the Guarantors.

     

    Section
      10.9 Confirmation
      of Payment.

     

    The
      Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the
      indebtedness and obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and
      termination of the commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Borrower, the
      Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and obligations have
      been
      paid and the commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions
      of Section 10.2.
