         2.1 Commitments; Commitment Increase.

         (a) Each Lender severally agrees, subject to and on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (each, a "Revolving Loan," and
collectively, the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower, from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from and including the Initial Closing Date to
but not including the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any
time outstanding not greater than the excess, if any, of its Commitment at such

such time and (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such
time and (z) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at
such time (excluding the aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid
with proceeds of Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing) would exceed
the aggregate Commitments at such time. Subject to and on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Revolving Loans.

                                                                       Execution

         (b) The Swingline Lender agrees, subject to and on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (each, a "Swingline Loan," and
collectively, the "Swingline Loans") to the Borrower, from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Initial Closing Date to but not
including the Swingline Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the Termination Date), in
any aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the
Swingline Commitment, notwithstanding that the aggregate principal amount of
Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when added to the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a
Lender outstanding at such time and its Letter of Credit Exposure at such time,
may exceed its Commitment at such time, but provided that no Borrowing of
Swingline Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the
sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at such
time, (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time
and (z) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such
time would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time. Subject to and on the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay
(including by means of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to SECTION
2.2(e)) and reborrow Swingline Loans.

         (c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, upon thirty
(30) days advance written notice to the Agent, the Borrower shall have the
right, at any time prior to the Termination Date, to increase the Commitments by
up to $50,000,000 in the aggregate (to an aggregate Commitment of up to
$300,000,000); provided that any such increase shall be in a minimum principal
amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or
the remaining available amount, if less). An increase in the Commitments
hereunder shall be offered first to the existing Lenders. If the amount of the
additional Commitments requested by the Borrower exceeds the amount that the
existing Lenders are willing to take, then the Borrower may invite other
financial institutions that meet the qualifications for an Eligible Assignee and
are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent to become Lenders under the
Credit Agreement for the amount of the additional Commitments not taken by
existing Lenders. Nothing herein shall require any Lender to increase its
Commitment without such Lender's express written consent given in its sole
discretion.

         (d) Each increase in the Commitments shall be subject to (i) the
satisfaction of the conditions for Borrowings set forth in SECTION 4.3, (ii) the
receipt by the Agent of a joinder agreement of each new Lender, a written
confirmation of its additional Commitment from each applicable existing Lender
and such other documentation as the Agent may reasonably request, and (iii) the
delivery of new or replacement Revolving Notes reflecting the additional
Commitments. If any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such
increase, the Borrower shall request, and the Lenders making the additional
Commitments shall make, Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to repay the
other Lenders as necessary to give effect to the revised Commitments and revised
Commitment percentages of the Lenders. Such repayments shall include payment of
any break-funding amount owing under SECTION 2.18.

         2.2 Borrowings.

         (a) The Revolving Loans shall, at the option of the Borrower and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be either Base Rate Loans
or LIBOR Loans (each, a "Type" of Loan), provided that all Revolving Loans
comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise

                                       21
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

specifically provided herein, be of the same Type. The Swingline Loans shall be
made and maintained as Base Rate Loans at all times.

         (b) In order to make a Borrowing (other than (x) Borrowings of
Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to SECTION 2.2(d), (y) Borrowings
for the purpose of repaying Refunded Swingline Loans, which shall be made
pursuant to SECTION 2.2(e), and (z) Borrowings involving continuations or
conversions of outstanding Revolving Loans, which shall be made pursuant to
SECTION 2.11), the Borrower will give the Agent written notice not later than
11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three (3) Business Days prior to each Borrowing to
be comprised of LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to each Borrowing to
be comprised of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that requests for the
Borrowing of any Revolving Loans to be made on the Initial Closing Date may, at
the discretion of the Agent, be given later than the times specified
hereinabove. Each such notice (each, a "Notice of Borrowing") shall be
irrevocable, shall be given in the form of EXHIBIT B-1 and shall specify (1) the
aggregate principal amount and initial Type of the Revolving Loans to be made
pursuant to such Borrowing, (2) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the
initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (3) the requested date of
such Borrowing (the "Borrowing Date"), which shall be a Business Day. Upon its
receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender of
the proposed Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein:

                  (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing comprised
         of Base Rate Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an
         integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the aggregate
         Unutilized Commitments are less than $5,000,000, in the amount of the
         aggregate Unutilized Commitments), and the aggregate principal amount
         of each Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Loans shall not be less than
         $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
         thereof;

                  (ii) if the Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type
         of Loans comprising a Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
         requested a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans; and

                  (iii) if the Borrower shall have failed to select the duration
         of the Interest Period to be applicable to any Borrowing of LIBOR
         Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
         Period with a duration of one month.

         (c) Not later than 1:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the requested
Borrowing Date, each Lender will make available to the Agent at its office
referred to in SECTION 11.5 (or at such other location as the Agent may
designate) an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to
the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. To the extent the
Lenders have made such amounts available to the Agent as provided hereinabove,
the Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Borrower in
accordance with SECTION 2.3(b) and in like funds as received by the Agent.

         (d) In order to make a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the Borrower will
give the Agent and the Swingline Lender written notice not later that 11:00
a.m., Charlotte time, on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice (each, a
"Notice of Swingline Borrowing") shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the
form of EXHIBIT B-2 and shall specify (i) the principal amount

                                       22
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall not be
less than $500,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof (or, if less, in the amount of the Unutilized Swingline
Commitment)) and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business
Day. Not later than 1:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the requested Borrowing Date,
the Swingline Lender will make available to the Agent at its office referred to
in SECTION 11.5 (or at such other location as the Agent may designate) an
amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of
the requested Swingline Loan. To the extent the Swingline Lender has made such
amount available to the Agent as provided hereinabove, the Agent will make such
amount available to the Borrower in accordance with SECTION 2.3(A) and in like
funds as received by the Agent.

         (e) With respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, the Swingline
Lender may at any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) in its sole and absolute discretion, and is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Borrower to, cause a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made
for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loans by delivering to the Agent (if
the Agent is different from the Swingline Lender) and each other Lender (on
behalf of, and with a copy to, the Borrower), not later than 11:00 a.m.,
Charlotte time, one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date
therefor, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by
the Borrower) requesting the Lenders to make Revolving Loans (which shall be
made initially as Base Rate Loans) on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate amount
equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the "Refunded Swingline Loans")
outstanding on the date such notice is given that the Swingline Lender requests
to be repaid. Not later than 1:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the requested
Borrowing Date, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) will make
available to the Agent at its office referred to in SECTION 11.5 (or at such
other location as the Agent may designate) an amount, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the Revolving Loan to be
made by such Lender. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts available
to the Agent as provided hereinabove, the Agent will make the aggregate of such
amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the
Agent, which shall apply such amounts in repayment of the Refunded Swingline
Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the
relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline
Lender's ratable share thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to
be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above
(including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Lender),
and such Refunded Swingline Loans deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be
outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If
any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline
Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline
Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the
loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Lenders in
the manner contemplated by SECTION 2.15(b).

         (f) If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding
with respect to the Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to
subsection (e) above in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the
Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the
Swingline Lender is otherwise precluded for any reason from giving a notice on
behalf of the Borrower as provided for hereinabove, the Swingline Lender shall
be deemed to have sold without recourse, representation or warranty, and each
Lender shall be

                                       23
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such
outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its ratable share (based on
the proportion that its Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments at such
time) of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon. Upon
one (1) Business Day's prior notice from the Swingline Lender, each Lender
(other than the Swingline Lender) will make available to the Agent at its office
referred to in SECTION 11.5 (or at such other location as the Agent may
designate) an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to
its respective participation. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts
available to the Agent as provided hereinabove, the Agent will make the
aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as
received by the Agent. In the event any such Lender fails to make available to
the Agent the amount of such Lender's participation as provided in this
subsection (f), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the
date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the
Swingline Lender until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline
Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days and
thereafter at the Base Rate applicable to Loans. Promptly following its receipt
of any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan,
the Swingline Lender will pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation
therein such Lender's ratable share of such payment.

         (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the obligation of each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) to make
Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans
pursuant to subsection (e) above and each such Lender's obligation to purchase a
participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to subsection (f) above
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may
have against the Swingline Lender, the Agent, the Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or
Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the business, operations,
properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any
party hereto.

         2.3 Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans.

         (a) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to disburse the proceeds
of each Borrowing in accordance with the terms of any written instructions from
any of the Authorized Officers, provided that the Agent shall not be obligated
under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an
Account Designation Letter. The Borrower may at any time deliver to the Agent an
Account Designation Letter listing any additional accounts or deleting any
accounts listed in a previous Account Designation Letter.

         (b) Unless the Agent has received, prior to 1:00 p.m., Charlotte time,
on the relevant Borrowing Date, written notice from a Lender that such Lender
will not make available to the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of the
relevant Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Agent in immediately available funds on such Borrowing Date in
accordance with the applicable provisions of SECTION 2.2, and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make a
corresponding amount

                                       24
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date. If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, and the Agent
shall have made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower, such
Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, severally agree to pay
to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with
interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, (i) in the case of
such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, at
the rate of interest applicable at such time to the Type of Revolving Loans
comprising such Borrowing, as determined under the provisions of SECTION 2.8;
provided, that Borrower shall not be in default of its obligation to make such
repayment to the Agent if the repayment is made within one Business Day of
Borrower's receipt of notice of such obligation. If such Lender shall repay to
the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's
Revolving Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The
failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it as
part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to make its Revolving Loan as part of such Borrowing, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Revolving Loan to be made by such other Lender as part of any Borrowing.

         (c) Each Lender may, at its option, make and maintain any Revolving
Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices, provided that any
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
such Revolving Loan to or for the account of such Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

         2.4 Notes.

         (a) The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a
Revolving Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A-1.
The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a
Swingline Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A-2.

         (b) Each Revolving Note issued to a Lender shall (i) be executed by the
Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender, (iii) be dated as of the
Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of a Revolving Note issued after the
Initial Closing Date, dated the effective date of the applicable Assignment and
Acceptance), (iv) be in a stated principal amount equal to such Lender's
Commitment, (v) bear interest in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.8,
as the same may be applicable from time to time to the Revolving Loans made by
such Lender, and (vi) be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents and subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.

         (c) The Swingline Note shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to the order of the Swingline Lender, (iii) be dated as of the Initial
Closing Date, (iv) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Swingline
Commitment, (v) bear interest in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.8,
as the same may be applicable from time to time to the Swingline Loans, and (vi)
be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
and subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.

         (d) Each Lender will record on its internal records the amount and Type
of each Revolving Loan made by it and each payment received by it in respect
thereof and will, in the event of any transfer of any of its Revolving Notes,
either endorse on the reverse side thereof or on a schedule attached thereto (or
any continuation thereof) the outstanding principal amount and Type of the
Revolving Loans evidenced thereby as of the date of transfer or provide such
information on a schedule to the Assignment and Acceptance relating to such
transfer; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such
recordation or provide any such information, or any error therein, shall not
affect the Borrower's obligations under this Agreement or the Revolving Notes.

         2.5 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

         (a) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated
on the Termination Date. The Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and
permanently terminated on the Swingline Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated
pursuant to any other provision of this section or SECTION 9.2.

         (b) At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, upon not
less than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, the
Borrower may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized
Commitments, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than $5,000,000 ($1,000,000 in the case of the Swingline
Commitment) or an integral multiple thereof. The amount of any termination or
reduction made under this subsection (b) may not thereafter be reinstated.

         (c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be
applied ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Commitments.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any reduction
of Commitments pursuant to this Section that has the effect of reducing the
aggregate Commitments to an amount less than the amount of the Swingline
Commitment at such time, shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of
the Swingline Commitment to the amount of the aggregate Commitments (as so
reduced), without any further action on the part of the Borrower or the
Swingline Lender.

         2.6 Mandatory Payments and Prepayments.

         (a) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date and the aggregate
outstanding principal of the Swingline Loans shall be due and payable in full on
the Swingline Maturity Date.

         (b) In the event that, at any time, the sum of (x) the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at such time, (y) the aggregate
Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time and (z) the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such time (excluding the
aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid with proceeds of Revolving
Loans made on the date of determination) shall exceed the aggregate Commitments
at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction
thereof), the Borrower will immediately prepay outstanding principal amount of
the Swingline Loans and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment
in full of outstanding Swingline Loans, the Borrower

                                       26
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans
in the amount of such excess; provided that, to the extent such excess amount is
greater than the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving
Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the
amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Agent and held in the Cash Collateral
Account as cover for Letter of Credit Exposure, as more particularly described
in SECTION 3.8, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate
Letter of Credit Exposure by an equivalent amount.

         (c) Each payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan made pursuant to the
provisions of this Section on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto shall be made together with all amounts required under
SECTION 2.18 to be paid as a consequence thereof.

         2.7 Voluntary Prepayments.

         (a) At any time and from time to time, the Borrower shall have the
right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty
(except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three (3) Business Days prior
to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans, one (1) Business Day prior to each
intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and the day
of each intended prepayment of Swingline Loans, provided that (i) each partial
prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000
or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, ($100,000
and $100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans), (ii) no partial
prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Loans under such
Borrowing to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) unless made together with
all amounts required under SECTION 2.18 to be paid as a consequence of such
prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed
date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount and Type of the Loans
to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the
Borrowing pursuant to which made), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the
Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein. Revolving Loans
and Swingline Loans prepaid pursuant to this subsection (a) may be reborrowed,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         (b) Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to subsection (a) above
shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in
proportion to the principal amount held by each.

         2.8 Interest.

         (a) The Borrower will pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Loan, from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal
amount shall be paid in full, (i) at the Base Rate, as in effect from time to
time during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such
Loan is a LIBOR Loan.

         (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by
the Borrower in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any
fees or other amount hereunder when due (whether at maturity, pursuant to
acceleration or otherwise), and (at the election of the Required Lenders) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all
outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and, to the greatest extent permitted
by law, all interest accrued on the Loans and all other accrued and outstanding
fees and other amounts hereunder, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the interest rate applicable from time to time thereafter to such Loans
(whether the Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) plus 4% (or, in the case of
fees and other amounts, at the Base Rate plus 4%), and, in each case, such
default interest shall be payable on demand. To the greatest extent permitted by
law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or against the
Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any law
pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief.

         (c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable as
follows:

         (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or
portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 2.6,
except as provided hereinbelow), in arrears on the last Business Day of each
calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Initial
Closing Date; provided, that in the event the Loans are repaid or prepaid in
full and the Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect
of all Base Rate Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or
prepayment on the date thereof;

                  (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan
         or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of
         SECTION 2.6, except as provided hereinbelow), in arrears (y) on the
         last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to
         the provisions of clause (iv) in SECTION 2.10) and (z) in addition, in
         the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period having a duration of
         six months, on each date on which interest would have been payable
         under clause (y) above had successive Interest Periods of three months'
         duration been applicable to such LIBOR Loan; provided, that in the
         event all LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing are repaid or
         prepaid in full, then accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR Loans
         shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date
         thereof; and

                  (iii) in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to
         acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

         (d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document
shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Lender at
a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount
of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date
would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by
such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest
payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount.
In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time
thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any
interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable
for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be

                                       28
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount, provided that at no
time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any
Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount
by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to
the previous sentence.

         (e) The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders upon
determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its
receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided,
however, that the failure of the Agent to provide the Borrower or the Lenders
with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of the Borrower or the
Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Agent to the
Borrower or any Lender. Each such determination (including each determination of
the Reserve Requirement) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on all parties hereto.

         2.9 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay:

         (a) To the Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee for
each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the period from the Initial
Closing Date to the Termination Date, at a per annum rate equal to the
Applicable Margin Percentage in effect for such fee from time to time during
such quarter, on such Lender's Commitment, payable in arrears (i) on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to
occur after the Initial Closing Date, and (ii) on the Termination Date;

         (b) To the Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit
fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of
Credit outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to the
Applicable Margin Percentage in effect from time to time during such quarter for
Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Loans, on such Lender's ratable share (based
on the proportion that its Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments) of the
daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in
arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with
the first such day to occur after the Initial Closing Date, and (ii) on the
later of the Termination Date and the date of termination of the last
outstanding Letter of Credit;

         (c) To the Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee for each
calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit
outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate of 0.125% on the daily
average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears
(i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first
such day to occur after the Initial Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the
Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of
Credit;

         (d) To the Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee
described in the Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set
forth therein; and

         (e) To the Agent, for its own account and for the account of the
Lenders, on the Second Restatement Closing Date, the fees set forth in the
Second Restatement Fee Letter, including the amendment and extension fees
payable to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

         2.10 Interest Periods. Concurrently with the giving of a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of any Borrowing
comprised of Base Rate Loans to be converted into, or LIBOR Loans to be
continued as, LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect, pursuant
to such notice, the interest period (each, an "Interest Period") to be
applicable to such LIBOR Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of
the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period; provided, however, that:

                  (i) all LIBOR Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all
         times have the same Interest Period (and the foregoing shall not be
         deemed to prevent the Borrower from making separate Borrowings on the
         same day of LIBOR Loans with different Interest Periods, subject to the
         limitation of clause (iii) below);

                  (ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall
         commence on the date of the Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the
         date of any continuation of, or conversion into, such LIBOR Loan), and
         each successive Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan shall
         commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period
         applicable thereto expires;

                  (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be outstanding under more than five
         (5) separate Interest Periods at any one time (for which purpose
         Interest Periods shall be deemed to be separate even if they are
         coterminous);

                  (iv) if any Interest Period otherwise would expire on a day
         that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the
         next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day
         falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period
         shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

                  (v) the Borrower may not select any Interest Period that
         begins prior to the third (3rd) Business Day after the Initial Closing
         Date or that expires after the Maturity Date; and

                  (vi) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is
         no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which
         such Interest Period would otherwise expire, such Interest Period shall
         expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month.

         2.11 Conversions and Continuations.

         (a) Except in the case of any Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall have
the right, on any Business Day occurring on or after the Initial Closing Date,
to elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of
any Base Rate Loans into one or more LIBOR Loans, or to convert any LIBOR Loans
the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans, or (ii)
upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the
outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which
end on the same day for an additional Interest Period, provided that (x) any
such conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall involve an aggregate
principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; any such conversion of Base Rate Loans
into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans shall involve an aggregate

<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and no partial conversion of LIBOR
Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal
amount of such LIBOR Loans to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) except as otherwise
provided in SECTION 2.16(d), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans
only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, in any
event, if a LIBOR Loan is converted into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower will pay,
upon such conversion, all amounts required under SECTION 2.18 to be paid as a
consequence thereof), and (z) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans
or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default.

         (b) The Borrower shall make each such election by giving the Agent
written notice not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three (3) Business
Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of Base Rate Loans
into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to the
intended effective date of any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans.
Each such notice (each, a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") shall be
irrevocable, shall be given in the form of EXHIBIT B-3 and shall specify (x) the
date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in
the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the aggregate amount and Type of the
Loans being converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the
proposed conversion or continuation. In the event that the Borrower shall fail
to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein with respect
to any outstanding LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be
converted to Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof). In the
event the Borrower shall have failed to select in a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to
any conversion into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of one month.

         2.12 Method of Payments; Computations.

         (a) All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made without
setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in Dollars and in immediately available
funds to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment or
the Swingline Lender, as applicable (except as otherwise expressly provided
herein as to payments required to be made directly to the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders) at its office referred to in SECTION 11.5, prior to 12:00 noon,
Charlotte time, on the date payment is due. Any payment made as required
hereinabove, but after 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, shall be deemed to have been
made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that
is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (except that in the case of LIBOR Loans to which the
provisions of clause (iv) in SECTION 2.10 are applicable, such due date shall be
the next preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall then be
included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable
amounts.

<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

         (b) The Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to
payments made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the
payment is received by 12:00 noon, Charlotte time, in immediately available
funds, the Agent will make available to each relevant Lender on the same date,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender's ratable share of
such payment (based on the percentage that the amount of the relevant payment
owing to such Lender bears to the total amount of such payment owing to all of
the relevant Lenders), and (ii) if such payment is received after 12:00 noon,
Charlotte time, or in other than immediately available funds, the Agent will
make available to each such Lender its ratable share of such payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or
in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). If
the Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders
as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such
Lenders, the Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of
such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from
the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Agent until the date
repaid to such Lender. The Agent will distribute to the Issuing Lender like
amounts relating to payments made to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set
forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders.

         (c) Unless the Agent shall have received written notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder
that such payment will not be made in full, the Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date, and the Agent
may, in reliance on such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, cause to be
distributed to such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then
due to such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Agent, and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to make such payment in accordance with the terms hereof, such Lender
shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount so distributed to such
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is
so distributed to such Lender until the date repaid to the Agent, at the Federal
Funds Rate.

         (d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder (including
computations of the Reserve Requirement) shall be made on the basis of a year
consisting of (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, 365 or 366 days, as the case
may be and (ii) in all other instances, 360 days and the actual number of days
(including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed.

         2.13 Recovery of Payments.

         (a) The Borrower agrees that to the extent the Borrower makes a payment
or payments to or for the account of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been received.

                                                                       Execution

         (b) If any amounts distributed by the Agent to any Lender are
subsequently returned or repaid by the Agent to the Borrower or its
representative or successor in interest, whether by court order or by settlement
approved by the Lender in question, such Lender will, promptly upon receipt of
notice thereof from the Agent, pay the Agent such amount. If any such amounts
are recovered by the Agent from the Borrower or its representative or successor
in interest, the Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Lenders on the same
basis as such amounts were originally distributed.

         2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, solely (i) to pay or
reimburse reasonable transaction fees and expenses in connection with the
closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) to provide for working
capital and general corporate requirements of the Borrower and its Subsidiary
Guarantors, including repurchases by the Borrower of its outstanding common
stock as permitted pursuant to SECTION 8.6.

         2.15 Pro Rata Treatment.

         (a) Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings, continuations
and conversions of Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of
their respective Commitments (in the case of the initial funding of Loans
pursuant to SECTION 2.2) or on the basis of their respective outstanding Loans
(in the case of continuations and conversions of Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.11,
and additionally in all cases in the event the Commitments have expired or have
been terminated), as the case may be from time to time. All payments on account
of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to
or for the account of any one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among
such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or
other Obligations owed to them respectively.

         (b) Each Lender agrees that if it shall receive any amount hereunder
(whether by voluntary payment, realization upon security, exercise of the right
of setoff or banker's lien, counterclaim or cross action, or otherwise, other
than pursuant to SECTION 11.7) applicable to the payment of any of the
Obligations that exceeds its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Obligations due and payable to all Lenders at
such time) of payments on account of such Obligations then or therewith obtained
by all the Lenders to which such payments are required to have been made, such
Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in
such Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each such other Lender
shall be rescinded and each such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an
amount equal to such other Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion
of (i) the amount of such other Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount
paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any and all rights of payment

(including, without limitation, setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such participant were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, any Lender receives a secured
claim in lieu of a setoff to which this subsection applies, such Lender shall,
to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim
in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this
subsection to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

         2.16 Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality; etc.

         (a) If, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, the
introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) subject such Lender to any
tax or other charge, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender,
in respect of any of its LIBOR Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or
its obligation to make, fund or maintain any LIBOR Loans (other than any change
in the rate or basis of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its
applicable Lending Office), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement (but excluding any reserves to the extent
actually included within the Reserve Requirement in the calculation of the LIBOR
Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by, such Lender or its applicable Lending Office, or (iii) impose on such Lender
or its applicable Lending Office any other condition, and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any LIBOR Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder
(including in respect of Letters of Credit), the Borrower will, promptly upon
demand therefor by such Lender, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as
shall compensate such Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in return.

         (b) If, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, any
Lender shall have reasonably determined that the introduction of or any change
in any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender
with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or
not having the force of law), has or would have the effect, as a consequence of
such Lender's Commitment, Loans or issuance of or participations in Letters of
Credit hereunder, of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender
or any Person controlling such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or
controlling Person could have achieved but for such introduction, change or
compliance (taking into account such Lender's or controlling Person's policies
with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrower will, promptly upon demand
therefor by such Lender therefor, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as
will compensate such Lender or controlling Person for such reduction in return.

         (c) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (y) the
Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or (z) the Agent
shall have received written notice from the

                                       34
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

Required Lenders of their reasonable determination that, due to material market
or regulatory changes after the date hereof, the rate of interest referred to in
the definition of "LIBOR Rate" upon the basis of which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans
during such Interest Period, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and
the Lenders. Upon such notice, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall
automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Periods
applicable thereto (unless then repaid in full), be converted into Base Rate
Loans, (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Base Rate Loans
into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to the
Borrowing to which such Interest Period applies), and (iii) any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with
respect to LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans, in
each case until the Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall
have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist (and the Required Lenders, if making such determination, shall have so
notified the Agent), and the Agent shall have so notified the Borrower and the
Lenders.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any
time after the date hereof and from time to time, any Lender shall have
determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any
such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or
would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to
continue to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such Lender will forthwith so notify
the Agent and the Borrower. Upon such notice, (i) each of such Lender's then
outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the
respective Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR
Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Loan until such expiration date,
upon such notice), be converted into a Base Rate Loan (and if such conversion is
made pursuant to the preceding parenthetical Borrower shall not be liable to
Lender for any compensation under SECTION 2.18 in connection therewith), (ii)
the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to
continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to any Borrowing
for which the Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the
Borrowing Date has not arrived), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans
shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in
each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist and shall have so notified the Agent,
and the Agent shall have so notified the Borrower.

         (e) Determinations by the Agent or any Lender for purposes of this
Section of any increased costs, reduction in return, market contingencies,
illegality or any other matter shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive,
provided that such determinations are made in good faith. No failure by the
Agent or any Lender at any time to demand payment of any amounts payable under
this Section shall constitute a waiver of its right to demand payment of any
additional amounts arising at any subsequent time. Nothing in this Section shall
require or be construed to require the Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs
or other amounts in excess of that permitted by applicable law.

         2.17 Taxes.

         (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note
shall be made, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, free and clear
of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding (y) any taxes imposed on the Agent or any Lender on the date
hereof, and (z) taxes imposed on, or measured by, the overall net income (or
franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) of the Agent or any Lender by reason of
any present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the
jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political
subdivision thereof, other than such a connection arising solely from the Agent
or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or the Notes (all such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note to the Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section), the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
the Borrower will make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower will pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower will deliver to the Agent
or such Lender, as the case may be, evidence of such payment.

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

         (c) If the Agent or any Lender shall become aware of the reasonable
possibility that it is entitled to claim a refund of Taxes paid or indemnified
by Borrower pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above, it shall promptly notify
of the Borrower of such potential refund claim and shall, within 30 days after
receipt of a request by the Borrower, make a claim to the applicable
governmental Authority for such refund at Borrower's expense. Each of the Agent
and the Lenders agrees that if it subsequently recovers, or receives a permanent
net tax benefit with respect to, any amount of Taxes (i) previously paid by it
and as to which it has been indemnified by or on behalf of the Borrower or (ii)
previously deducted by the Borrower (including, without limitation, any Taxes
deducted from any additional sums payable under clause (i) of subsection (a)
above), the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall reimburse the
Borrower to the extent of the amount of any such recovery or permanent net tax
benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Section with respect to
the Taxes giving rise to such recovery or tax benefit); provided, however, that
the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay to
the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, the amount paid over to the
Borrower (together with any penalties, interest or other charges), in the event
the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such amount to the relevant taxing
authority or other Governmental

                                                                       Execution

Authority. The determination by the Agent or any Lender of the amount of any
such recovery or permanent net tax benefit shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding.

         (d) If any Lender is incorporated or organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof (a
"Non-U.S. Lender") and claims exemption from United States withholding tax
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, such Non-U.S. Lender will deliver to each
of the Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the Initial Closing Date (or, in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement as a result
of an assignment after the Initial Closing Date, on the effective date of such
assignment), (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a "bank" for purposes
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, 1001, W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8 EXP, as
applicable (or successor forms), certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is
entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding or deduction for or
on account of United States federal income taxes in connection with payments
under this Agreement or any of the Notes, together with a properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor forms),
and (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a "bank" for purposes of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a certificate in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower and to the
effect that (x) such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not subject to regulatory or other
legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a
bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made
to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or
qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal
requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent shareholder for purposes of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and (z) is not a controlled foreign
corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, together with a properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor forms).
Each such Non-U.S. Lender further agrees to deliver to each of the Agent and the
Borrower an additional copy of each such relevant form on or before the date
that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
(including a change in its applicable Lending Office) requiring a change in the
most recent forms so delivered by it, in each case certifying that such Non-U.S.
Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding or
deduction for or on account of United States federal income taxes in connection
with payments under this Agreement or any of the Notes, unless an event
(including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has
occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required, which event renders all such forms inapplicable or the exemption to
which such forms relate unavailable and such Non-U.S. Lender notifies the Agent
and the Borrower that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction
or withholding of United States federal income taxes. Each such Non-U.S. Lender
will promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower of any changes in circumstances
that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

         (e) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in (and not a complete
exemption from) the applicable withholding tax, the Borrower and the Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If any of
the forms or other documentation required under subsection (d) above are not
delivered to the Agent as therein required, then the Borrower and

                                       37
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing
such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax.

         2.18 Compensation. The Borrower will compensate each Lender upon demand
for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR
Loans) that such Lender may incur or sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a
LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or
conversion of any LIBOR Loan occurs on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of acceleration
of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to SECTION 9.2), (iii) if any prepayment
of any LIBOR Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment
given by the Borrower or (iv) as a consequence of any other failure by the
Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan when due hereunder.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section shall be made
as though such Lender had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the
purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount
equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan, having a maturity comparable to the
relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund its LIBOR
Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized
only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section. Determinations
by any Lender for purposes of this Section of any such losses, expenses or
liabilities shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, provided that such
determinations are made in good faith.

         2.19 Replacement of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower shall have the
right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to replace a Defaulting
Lender with one or more additional banks or financial institutions
(collectively, the "Replacement Lender"), provided, that (a) at the time of any
replacement pursuant to this SECTION 2.19, the Replacement Lender shall enter
into one or more Assignment and Acceptance agreements pursuant to, and in
accordance with the terms of, SECTION 11.7(a) (and with all processing and
recordation fees payable pursuant to said SECTION 11.7(a) to be paid by the
Replacement Lender or, at its option, the Borrower) pursuant to which the
Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the rights and obligations of the
Defaulting Lender hereunder and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the
Defaulting Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the
Defaulting Lender, and (ii) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to
the Defaulting Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.9, and (b) all other obligations of
the Borrower owing to the Defaulting Lender (including all other obligations, if
any, owing pursuant to SECTIONS 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18) shall be paid in full to
such Defaulting Lender concurrently with such replacement.

         3.1 Issuance. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Issuing Lender will, at any

                                                                       Execution

time and from time to time on and after the Initial Closing Date and prior to
the earlier of (i) the seventh day prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) the
Termination Date, and upon request by the Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of SECTION 3.2, issue for the account of the Borrower one or more
irrevocable standby letters of credit denominated in Dollars and in a form
customarily used or otherwise approved by the Issuing Lender (together with all
amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, substitutions therefor and
renewals and restatements thereof, collectively, the "Letters of Credit"). The
Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than such amount as may
be acceptable to the Issuing Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

         (a) No Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount upon issuance
of which (i) when added to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of the
Lenders at such time, would exceed $20,000,000 or (ii) when added to the sum of
(x) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time, (y) the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (z) the
aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, would exceed the
aggregate Commitments at such time;

         (b) No Letter of Credit shall be issued that by its terms expires later
than the seventh day prior to the Maturity Date or, in any event, more than one
(1) year after its date of issuance; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit
may, if requested by the Borrower, provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable
to the Issuing Lender, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less
(but not beyond the seventh day prior to the Maturity Date), unless and until
the Issuing Lender shall have delivered a notice of nonrenewal to the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; and

         (c) The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit if, at the time of such proposed issuance, (i) any order, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to
enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any
Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing
Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter
of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to
such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for
which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the
Initial Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not
applicable, in effect or known to the Issuing Lender as of the Initial Closing
Date and that the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the
Issuing Lender shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from
any Lender, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of
the conditions specified in SECTIONS 4.1 (if applicable) or 4.3 are not then
satisfied (or have not been waived in writing as required herein) or that the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the provisions of subsection (a)
above.

         3.2 Notices. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, the Borrower will give the Issuing Lender written notice with a copy to
the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, three (3) Business Days (or
such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Lender in any given case)
prior to the requested date of issuance thereof. Each such notice (each, a
"Letter of Credit Notice") shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of

                                       39
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

EXHIBIT B-4 and shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, which shall be
a Business Day, (ii) the requested Stated Amount and expiry date of the Letter
of Credit, and (iii) the name and address of the requested beneficiary or
beneficiaries of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower will also complete any
application procedures and documents required by the Issuing Lender in
connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Upon its issuance of any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Agent of such
issuance, and the Agent will give prompt notice thereof to each Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the outstanding letters of credit listed
in SCHEDULE 3.2 shall, on and as of the Initial Closing Date, be deemed to be
Letters of Credit issued under and pursuant to this Agreement and the fees set
forth in SECTION 2.9(b) and (c) shall commence with respect to such Letters of
Credit on the Initial Closing Date.

         3.3 Participations. Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each
Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation, pro rata (based on the percentage of the
aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender's Commitment), in such Letter
of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement with respect thereto and any security therefor or guaranty
pertaining thereto; provided, however, that the fee relating to Letters of
Credit described in SECTION 2.9(c) shall be payable directly to the Issuing
Lender as provided therein, and the Lenders shall have no right to receive any
portion thereof. Upon any change in the Commitments of any of the Lenders
pursuant to SECTION 2.5 with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and
Reimbursement Obligations there shall be an automatic adjustment to the
participations pursuant to this Section to reflect the new pro rata shares of
the assigning Lender and the Assignee.

         3.4 Reimbursement. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing
Lender by making payment to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, in
immediately available funds, for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under
any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, together with
interest thereon payable as provided hereinbelow, a "Reimbursement Obligation")
immediately after, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after its
receipt of notice of, such payment (provided that any such Reimbursement
Obligation shall be deemed timely satisfied (but nevertheless subject to the
payment of interest thereon as provided hereinbelow) if satisfied pursuant to a
Borrowing of Loans made on or prior to the next Business Day following the date
of the Borrower's receipt of notice of such payment), together with interest on
the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to
1:00 p.m., Charlotte time, on the date of such payment or disbursement, for the
period from the date of the respective payment to the date the Reimbursement
Obligation created thereby is satisfied, at the Adjusted Base Rate applicable to
Loans as in effect from time to time during such period, such interest also to
be payable on demand. The Issuing Lender will provide the Agent and the Borrower
with prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made under any Letter of
Credit, although the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice
shall not release, diminish or otherwise affect the Borrower's obligations under
this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. The Agent will promptly
pay to the Issuing Lender any such amounts received by it under this Section.

         3.5 Payment by Revolving Loans. In the event that the Issuing Lender
makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have
timely satisfied in full its

                                       40
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Lender pursuant to SECTION 3.4, and to
the extent that any amounts then held in the Cash Collateral Account established
pursuant to SECTION 3.8 shall be insufficient to satisfy such Reimbursement
Obligation in full, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Agent, and the
Agent will promptly notify each Lender, of such failure. If the Agent gives such
notice prior to 11:00 a.m., Charlotte time, on any Business Day, each Lender
will make available to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, its pro
rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate Commitments represented by
such Lender's Commitment) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in
immediately available funds. If the Agent gives such notice after 11:00 a.m.,
Charlotte time, on any Business Day, each such Lender shall make its pro rata
share of such amount available to the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.
If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its pro rata share of the
amount of such payment available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from such
date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent. The failure of any Lender
to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any
Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any
Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the
Agent such other Lender's pro rata share of any such payment. Each such payment
by a Lender under this Section of its pro rata share of an amount paid by the
Issuing Lender shall constitute a Revolving Loan by such Lender (the Borrower
being deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing therefor) and shall be
treated as such for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that for purposes
of determining the aggregate Unutilized Commitments immediately prior to giving
effect to the application of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the
Reimbursement Obligation being satisfied thereby shall be deemed not to be
outstanding at such time.

         3.6 Payment to Lenders. Whenever the Issuing Lender receives a payment
in respect of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Agent has received, for
the account of the Issuing Lender, any payments from the Lenders pursuant to
SECTION 3.5, the Issuing Lender will promptly pay to the Agent, and the Agent
will promptly pay to each Lender that has paid its pro rata share thereof, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share
(based on the proportionate amount funded by such Lender to the aggregate amount
funded by all Lenders) of such Reimbursement Obligation.

         3.7 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of the
Borrower, and the obligations of the Lenders under SECTION 3.5 to make payments
to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, with respect to Letters of
Credit, shall be irrevocable, shall remain in effect until the Issuing Lender
shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under
any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, and, except to the
extent resulting from any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
the Issuing Lender, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to
counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the
following circumstances:

                                                                       Execution

         (a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of
the other Credit Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any
Letter of Credit;

         (b) Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit
or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure
from any Letter of Credit or any documents or instruments relating thereto, in
each case whether or not the Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof;

         (c) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit,
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the
transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any
underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any
such Letter of Credit);

         (d) Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
(provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), any errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
telecopier or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of
technical terms;

         (e) Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (provided that any draft,
certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any nonapplication or
misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such
drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in
connection with such Letter of Credit;

         (f) The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any security for
the Obligations;

         (g) The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

         (h) Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without
limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Lender under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and
each Lender and shall not create or result in any liability of the Issuing
Lender to the Borrower or any Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed
that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of
Credit resulted from the Issuing Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, (i) the Issuing Lender's acceptance of documents that appear on
their face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary,

                                       42
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

(ii) the Issuing Lender's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it
under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein,
including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether
or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such
draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of
Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document
appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and
whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to
such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein
proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any
noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such
Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Nothing
in this ARTICLE III shall reduce or impair the Borrower's right under N.C.G.S
Section 25-5-109(b) to seek to enjoin the honor of a Letter of Credit; provided
that the Borrower shall promptly indemnify the Issuing Lender pursuant to
SECTION 11.2 for all costs, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities arising
from such action.

         3.8 Cash Collateral Account. At any time and from time to time (i)
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Agent, at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders, may require
the Borrower to deliver to the Agent such additional amount of cash as is equal
to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit at any time outstanding
(whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or
be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (ii) in the event of a
prepayment under SECTION 2.6(A), the Agent will retain such amount as may then
be required to be retained, such amounts in each case under clauses (i) and (ii)
above to be held by the Agent in a cash collateral account (the "Cash Collateral
Account"). The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in the Cash
Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security
for Letter of Credit Exposure, and for application to the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal,
over such account. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in
Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the
Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at
the option and in the discretion of the Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral
Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. In the event of a drawing, and
subsequent payment by the Issuing Lender, under any Letter of Credit at any time
during which any amounts are held in the Cash Collateral Account, the Agent will
deliver to the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation
created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than
such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse the Issuing
Lender therefor. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after the
expiration of all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of the Issuing
Lender for all of its obligations thereunder shall be held by the Agent, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to be applied against the Obligations in such order and
manner as the Agent may direct. If the Borrower is required to provide cash
collateral pursuant to SECTION 2.6(a), such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower on demand, provided that after
giving effect to such return (i) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount
of all Revolving Loans outstanding at such time, (y) the aggregate Letter of
Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time, and (z) the aggregate principal
amount of all Swingline Loans outstanding at such time, would not exceed

                                       43
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

the aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at such time. If the Borrower is required
to provide cash collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within
three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

         3.9 Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments
or repayment of the Loans, or both, the obligations of the Borrower under this
Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements
under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.ARTICLE IV

Subsidiaries (i) is duly formed or organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the

business as a foreign business entity and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership of its properties
requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified
would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         5.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Each of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors has taken all necessary organizational action to execute,
deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a
party, and has validly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to
which it is or will be a party. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the
other Credit Documents upon execution and delivery will constitute, the legal,
valid and binding obligation of each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary
Guarantors that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally, by general equitable principles or by
principles of good faith and fair dealing.

         5.3 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each of
the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Agreement and each of the
other Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party, and compliance by it
with the terms hereof and thereof, do not and will not (i) violate any provision
of its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or contravene any
other material Requirement of Law applicable to it, (ii) conflict with, result
in a breach of or constitute (with notice, lapse of time or both) a default
under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party, by
which it or any of its properties is bound or to which it is subject, or (iii)
result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its
properties or assets. No Subsidiary Guarantor is a party to any agreement or

or limits its ability to make dividend payments or other distributions in
respect of its Capital Stock, to repay Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any
other Subsidiary, to make loans or advances to the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary, or to transfer any of its assets or properties to the Borrower or
any other Subsidiary, in each case other than such restrictions or encumbrances
existing under or by reason of the Credit Documents or applicable Requirements
of Law.

         5.4 Governmental and Third-Party Authorization; Permits.

         (a) No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, notice to,
or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is or
will be required as a condition to or otherwise in connection with the due
execution, delivery and performance by each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to which it is or will be
a party or the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, other
than (i) consents, authorizations and filings that have been made or obtained
and that are in full force and effect, and (ii) consents and filings the failure
to obtain or make which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.

standing with respect to, all governmental approvals, licenses, permits and
authorizations necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted and to
own or lease and operate its properties, except for

                                                                       Execution

those the failure to obtain which would not be reasonably likely, individually
or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.5 Litigation. There are no actions, investigations, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, at law, in
equity or in arbitration, before any court, other Governmental Authority or
other Person, (i) against or affecting the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties that would, if adversely determined, be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) with respect to
this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

         5.6 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed
all federal, state and local tax returns and reports required to be filed by it
and has paid all taxes, assessments, fees and other charges levied upon it or
upon its properties that are shown thereon as due and payable, other than those
that are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Such returns
accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. There is no
ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, other
investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, and there is no unresolved claim by any Governmental
Authority concerning the tax liability of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries for any period for which tax returns have been or were required to
have been filed, other than claims for which adequate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has waived or extended or has been requested to waive or extend the
statute of limitations relating to the payment of any taxes.

         5.7 Subsidiaries. SCHEDULE 5.7 sets forth a list, as of the Second
Restatement Closing Date, of all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and, as to
each such Subsidiary, the percentage ownership (direct and indirect) of the
Borrower in each class of its capital stock and each direct owner thereof. Such
schedule shall distinguish the Subsidiary Guarantors from other Subsidiaries.
Except for the shares of capital stock expressly indicated on SCHEDULE 5.7,
there are no shares of capital stock, warrants, rights, options or other equity
securities, or other Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of the Borrower outstanding
or reserved for any purpose. All outstanding shares of capital stock of each
Subsidiary of the Borrower are duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

         5.8 Full Disclosure. All factual information heretofore or
contemporaneously furnished to the Agent in writing by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or to any Lender in writing by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or through the Agent) for purposes of or in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is, and
all other such factual information hereafter furnished to the Agent or any
Lender in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such
information is dated or certified (or, if such information has been amended or
supplemented, on the date as of which any such amendment or supplement is dated
or certified) and not made incomplete by omitting to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided, not misleading.

         5.9 Margin Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock. No proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to
purchase or carry any Margin Stock (except for purchases by the Borrower of
outstanding shares of its capital stock permitted by SECTION 8.6 and made in
compliance with the applicable provisions of Regulations T, U, and X), to extend
credit for such purpose or for any other purpose that would violate or be
inconsistent with Regulations T, U or X or any provision of the Exchange Act.

         5.10 No Material Adverse Change. There has been no Material Adverse
Change since December 31, 1999, and there exists no event, condition or state of
facts that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

         5.11 Financial Matters.

         (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Agent copies of the
audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as of
the applicable date) as of December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, and the related
statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the fiscal years
then ended, together with the opinion of KPMG, LLP thereon. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, with respect to
the unaudited financial statements, to the absence of notes required by GAAP and
to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly the financial condition of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the respective
dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the respective periods then ended. Except as fully reflected in
the most recent financial statements referred to above and the notes thereto,
there are no material liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, contingent
or otherwise and whether or not due).

         (b) The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2001, a copy of which has heretofore been
delivered to the Agent, gives pro forma effect to the extensions of credit made
under this Agreement as of the Second Restatement Closing Date, the issuance of
the Medium Term Notes, and the payment of transaction fees and expenses related
to the foregoing, all as if such events had occurred on such date (the "Pro
Forma Balance Sheet"). The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (subject to the absence of footnotes required by GAAP and
subject to normal year-end adjustments) and, subject to stated assumptions made
in good faith and having a reasonable basis set forth therein, presents fairly
the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on an unaudited pro
forma basis as of the date set forth therein after giving effect to the
consummation of the transactions described above.

         (c) The Borrower has prepared, and has heretofore furnished to the
Agent a copy of, annual projected balance sheets and statements of income and
cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the two-year period
beginning January 1, 2002 and ending December 31, 2003, giving effect to the
extensions of credit made under this Agreement as of the Second Restatement
Closing Date, the issuance of the Medium Term Notes, and the payment of
transaction fees and expenses related to the foregoing (the "Projections"). In
the opinion of

management of the Borrower, the assumptions used in the preparation of the
Projections were fair, complete and reasonable when made and continue to be
fair, complete and reasonable as of the date hereof. The Projections have been
prepared in good faith by the executive and financial personnel of the Borrower,

financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to the
uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections.

the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) has capital
sufficient to carry on its businesses as conducted and as proposed to be
conducted, (ii) has assets with a fair saleable value, determined on a going
concern basis, (y) not less than the amount required to pay the probable
liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured and (z)
greater than the total amount of its liabilities (including identified
contingent liabilities, valued at the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become absolute and matured), and (iii) does not intend to, and does not believe
that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts
and liabilities as they mature.

to continue to conduct its business substantially as heretofore conducted and
without any material conflict with the rights of others, and (iv) has good title
to all of its other properties and assets reflected in the most recent financial
statements referred to in SECTION 5.11 (except as sold or otherwise disposed of
since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business), in each case under
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Liens.

         5.13 ERISA.

         (a) Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with
the applicable provisions of ERISA, and each Plan is and has been administered
in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including, without
limitation, the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code,
other than any non compliance that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than the matters described on SCHEDULE
5.13, no ERISA Event (i) has occurred within the five-year period prior to the
Second Restatement Closing Date, (ii) has occurred and is continuing, or (iii)
to the knowledge of the Borrower, is reasonably expected to occur with respect
to any Plan. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.13, no Plan has any Unfunded
Pension Liability as of the most recent annual valuation date applicable
thereto, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

         (b) Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has had a complete or
partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw completely from all
Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date. No Multiemployer Plan
is in "reorganization" or is "insolvent" within the meaning of such terms under
ERISA.

portion of any real property, leased or owned, of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except in material compliance with all applicable Environmental

Borrower, any other real property at any time leased, owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, has been contaminated by any Hazardous
Substance; except to the extent that any such contamination, individually or in
the aggregate, has not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (b) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.14, no portion of any real
property at any time leased, owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries has, pursuant to any Environmental Law, been placed on the

local list) of sites subject to possible environmental problems.

         (c) All activities and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with the requirements of all applicable Environmental Laws,
except to the extent the failure so to comply, individually or in the aggregate,
would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries has obtained all licenses and permits under
Environmental Laws necessary to its respective operations; all such licenses and
permits are being maintained in good standing; and each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such licenses and

other Credit Documents, shall become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate or other notice or
legal process of any kind, all of which are hereby knowingly and expressly
waived by the Borrower (provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default pursuant to SECTION 9.1(f) or SECTION 9.1(g), all of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and all other amounts described in this subsection
(b) shall automatically become immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate or other notice or legal process
of any kind, all of which are hereby knowingly and expressly waived by the
Borrower);

         (c) Direct the Borrower to deposit (and the Borrower hereby agrees,
forthwith upon receipt of notice of such direction from the Agent, to deposit)
with the Agent from time to time such additional amount of cash as is equal to
the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding (whether
or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be
entitled at such time to draw thereunder), such amount to be held by the Agent
in the Cash Collateral Account as security for the Letter of Credit Exposure as
described in Section 3.8; and

         (d) Exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this
Agreement, the other Credit Documents and applicable law.

         9.3 Remedies: Set-Off. In addition to all other rights and remedies
available under the Credit Documents or applicable law or otherwise, upon and at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender may, and each is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any
such time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby knowingly and expressly waived by the Borrower, to set off and
to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, but excluding deposits in escrow and trust accounts) and any other
property at any time held (including at any branches or agencies, wherever
located), and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any or all of the Obligations
to such Lender now or hereafter existing, whether or not such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured, the Borrower hereby granting to each Lender a
continuing security interest in and Lien upon all such deposits and other
property as security for such Obligations. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                    THE AGENT

         10.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes First Union to act as Agent hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents and to take such actions as agent on its behalf hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents, and to exercise such powers and to perform such
duties, as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such other powers and duties as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

         10.2 Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents. The Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender;
and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, express or implied,
is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any
obligations or liabilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact that it selects with
reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with respect to
all matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and its
duties hereunder and thereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent
shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be
taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required
Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required
hereunder, such Lenders).

         10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i)
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or
in connection with the Credit Documents, except for its or such Person's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) responsible in any manner to any
Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
herein or in any other Credit Document or in any document, instrument,
certificate, report or other writing delivered in connection herewith or
therewith, for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or
for the financial condition of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any other
Person, or (iii) required to ascertain or make any inquiry concerning the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or the existence or possible existence of
any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the properties, books or records
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

         10.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, statement, consent or other
communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone,
telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person

                                       73
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

or Persons. The Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its
interest hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of
the assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been given to the
Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from taking or omitting to take any action in connection
with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (i) if such action or omission
would, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, violate any applicable law or any
provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (ii) unless and
until it shall have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders
(or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder,
such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first have been indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other
than liability and expense arising from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking, continuing to take
or omitting to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender
shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the
Agent's acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where
a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such
Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (including all subsequent
Lenders).

         10.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation
or warranty to it and that no act by the Agent or any such Person hereinafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that (i) it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the
Borrower hereunder, and (ii) it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial or other
condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any other
Person that may at any time come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

         10.6 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent
shall have received written notice from the Borrower or a Lender referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Agent receives such
a notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to the Lenders as soon as
reasonably

                                       74
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

practicable; provided, however, that if any such notice has also been furnished
to the Lenders, the Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with
respect thereto. The Agent shall (subject to SECTIONS 10.4 and 11.6) take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be
directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Agent
shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of
the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that
such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the
authorization of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders.

         10.7 Indemnification. To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed by or
on behalf of the Borrower, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so, the Lenders agree (i) to indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates, ratably in
proportion to their respective percentages as used in determining the Required
Lenders as of the date of determination, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time (including,
without limitation, at any time following the repayment in full of the Loans and
the termination of the Commitments) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted
by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, and (ii) to
reimburse the Agent upon demand, ratably in proportion to their respective
percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the date of
determination, for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment,
modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the
Lenders); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

         10.8 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
Commitment, the Loans made by it, the Letters of Credit issued or participated
in by it and the Note or Notes issued to it, the Agent in its individual
capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit
Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the agency duties specified herein; and the terms "Lenders,"
"Required Lenders," "holders of Notes" and any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
make investments in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory or other business with the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective Affiliates as if the Agent were not performing the
agency duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from
any of them for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.

                                                                       Execution

         10.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving ten
(10) days' prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders and may be
removed for its gross negligence or willful misconduct by the unanimous consent
of the Lenders (other than the Agent) upon 30 days' written notice to the Agent
and the Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders will, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), appoint from among the Lenders a successor
to the Agent (provided that the Borrower's consent shall not be required in the
event a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing). If
no successor to the Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within such notice period, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and after consulting with the
Lenders and the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal as Agent, the
provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent. If no successor to the Agent has
accepted appointment as Agent by the thirtieth (30th) day following a retiring
Agent's notice of resignation or notice of removal, the retiring Agent's
resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the
Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for hereinabove.

         10.10 Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. The provisions of this
Article (other than SECTION 10.9) shall apply to the Issuing Lender and the
Swingline Lender mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to
the Agent.

         10.11 Other Titled Agents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, each of the Syndication Agent
and Documentation Agents is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in
its capacity as such shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or
liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1 Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (i) whether or not the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, to pay upon
demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent) in
connection with (y) the Agent's due diligence investigation in connection with,
and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and syndication of, this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any amendment, modification or
waiver hereof or thereof or consent with respect hereto or thereto, and (z) the
administration, monitoring and review of the Loans (including, without
limitation, out-of-pocket expenses for travel, meals, long-distance telephone
calls, wire transfers, facsimile transmissions and copying), (ii) to pay

                                                                       Execution

upon demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and
each Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) in connection with (y) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangement provided under this Agreement, whether in the nature of a
"work-out," in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise and whether
or not consummated, and (z) the enforcement, attempted enforcement or
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents, whether in any action, suit or proceeding (including any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) or otherwise, and (iii) to pay and hold the
Agent and each Lender harmless from and against all liability for any
intangibles, documentary, stamp or other similar taxes, fees and excises, if
any, including any interest and penalties, and any finder's or brokerage fees,
commissions and expenses (other than any fees, commissions or expenses of
finders or brokers engaged by or claiming through the Agent or any Lender), that
may be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

         11.2 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees, whether or not the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, to indemnify
and hold the Agent and each Lender and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents and Affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person")
harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities,
penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively,
"Indemnified Costs"), that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any such Indemnified Person as a result of, arising from or in
any way relating to the preparation, execution, performance or enforcement of
this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, any of the transactions
contemplated herein or therein or any transaction financed or to be financed in
whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loans or
Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, in connection with the actual
or alleged generation, presence, discharge or release of any Hazardous
Substances on, into or from, or the transportation of Hazardous Substances to or
from, any real property at any time owned or leased by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, any other Environmental Claims or any violation of or
liability under any Environmental Law), or any action, suit or proceeding
(including any inquiry or investigation) by any Person, whether threatened or
initiated, related to any of the foregoing, and in any case whether or not such
Indemnified Person is a party to any such action, proceeding or suit or a
subject of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no
Indemnified Person shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any
Indemnified Costs to the extent determined by a final and nonappealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to arbitration as set forth
herein to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person. All of the foregoing Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified
Person shall be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower, as and when incurred and
upon demand.

         11.3 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN EXECUTED, DELIVERED AND ACCEPTED IN, AND SHALL
BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN, NORTH CAROLINA AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH
CAROLINA (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF); PROVIDED
THAT EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OR RULES

                                                                       Execution

DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT OR, IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED,
THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS, INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE, AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS"), AND, AS TO
MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH
CAROLINA (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF). THE
BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE COURT
WITHIN MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA OR ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN
THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR ANY PROCEEDING
INSTITUTED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR
ANY PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE BORROWER IS A PARTY,
INCLUDING ANY ACTIONS BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY
AGREES TO BE BOUND (SUBJECT TO ANY AVAILABLE RIGHT OF APPEAL) BY ANY JUDGMENT
RENDERED OR RELIEF GRANTED THEREBY AND FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY
HAVE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO
THE CONDUCT OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. THE BORROWER CONSENTS THAT ALL SERVICE OF
PROCESS BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS
SET FORTH HEREINBELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON
THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE
UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID AND PROPERLY ADDRESSED. NOTHING IN
THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

         11.4 Arbitration; Preservation and Limitation of Remedies.

         (a) Upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or after
institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit
Document ("Disputes") between or among the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Agent
and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be resolved by binding arbitration as
provided herein. Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive
the right of that party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include,
without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, claims brought as class actions,
claims arising from documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a
matter is subject to arbitration, or claims arising out of or connected with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial
Disputes Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration
Association

                                       78
<PAGE>

                                                                       Execution

(the "AAA"), as in effect from time to time, and the Federal Arbitration Act,
Title 9 of the U.S. Code, as amended. All arbitration hearings shall be
conducted in the city in which the principal office of the Agent is located. A
hearing shall begin within ninety (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 for no more than a total of sixty (60) days. The expedited procedures
set forth in Rule 51 et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to
claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of limitation shall
apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. The panel from which all arbitrators are selected shall be
comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute
Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The single arbitrator selected for expedited
procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest court of general
jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the hearing will be
conducted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration provision does not
apply to Disputes under or related to any Hedge Agreement. The parties do not
waive applicable federal or state substantive law except as provided herein.

         (b) Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the
parties hereto agree to preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that any
party hereto may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or
during a Dispute. Any party hereto 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 of self-help, including peaceful
occupation of real property and collection of rents, set-off, and peaceful
possession of personal property; (ii) obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies, including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment,
appointment of a receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and
(iii) if and when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Any claim or
controversy with regard to any party's entitlement to such remedies is a
Dispute. 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. The parties hereto agree that no party shall have a remedy of punitive
or exemplary damages against any other party in any Dispute, and each party
hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that it has
now or that may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such
Dispute is resolved by arbitration or judicially. The parties acknowledge that
by agreeing to binding arbitration they have irrevocably waived any right they
may have to a jury trial with regard to a Dispute. The Borrower agrees to pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent and the Lenders in
connection with any Dispute subject to arbitration as provided herein.

in the mails, (ii) if mailed by overnight delivery service, telegraphed,
telexed, telecopied or cabled, when delivered for overnight delivery, delivered
to the telegraph company, confirmed by telex answerback, transmitted by
telecopier or delivered to the cable company, respectively, or (iii) if
delivered by hand, upon delivery; provided that notices and communications to
the Agent shall not be effective until received by the Agent.

         11.6 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver or
discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by the Borrower from,
any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall be effective
unless in a writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the
direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then the same shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; and each Lender agrees that it will respond to any request for any
of the foregoing within a commercially reasonable time; provided, however, that
no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent
shall:

         (a) unless agreed to by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i)
reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of or
forgive any interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any fees or other Obligations
(other than fees payable to the Agent for its own account), or (ii) extend the
Maturity Date or any other date (including any scheduled date for the mandatory
reduction or termination of any Commitments) fixed for the payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan (other than additional interest payable
under SECTION 2.8(b) at the election of the Required Lenders, as provided
therein), any fees (other than fees payable to the Agent for its own account) or
any other Obligations or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond
the seventh day prior to the Maturity Date;

         (b) unless agreed to by all of the Lenders, (i) increase or extend any
Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of
Default, if agreed to by the requisite Lenders hereunder, shall not constitute
such an increase), (ii) change the percentage of the aggregate Commitments or of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number or percentage
of Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take or
approve, or direct the Agent to take, any action hereunder (including any
modification of the definition of "Required Lenders"), (iii) except as may be
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit
Document, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty, or (iv) change any provision of SECTION 2.15 or this

         (c) unless agreed to by all of the Agents and the Required Lenders,
change SECTION 7.1 or modify the definition of "Leverage Ratio"; and

         (d) unless agreed to by the Issuing Lender or the Agent in addition to
the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action, affect the
respective rights or obligations of the Issuing Lender or the Agent, as
applicable, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents;

and provided further that the Fee Letter may be amended or modified, and any
rights thereunder waived, in a writing signed by the parties thereto.

         11.7 Assignments, Participations.

         (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more other Eligible Assignees
(each, an "Assignee") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment,
the outstanding Loans made by it, the Note or Notes held by it and its
participations in Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) any such
assignment (other than an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender)
shall not be made without the prior written consent of the Agent and the
Borrower (to be evidenced by its counterexecution of the relevant Assignment and
Acceptance), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that the
Borrower's consent shall not be required in the event a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that the Agent's consent shall
not be required in the event an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), (ii) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying,
percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender, no such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal amount
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) less than $10,000,000, determined by combining the amount of the
assigning Lender's outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit Exposure and Unutilized
Commitment being assigned pursuant to such assignment (or, if less, the entire
Commitment of the assigning Lender), and (iv) the parties to each such
assignment will execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment, and will pay a nonrefundable processing fee
of $3,000 to the Agent for its own account. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording of the Assignment and Acceptance, from and after the
effective date specified therein, which effective date shall be at least five
Business Days after the execution thereof (unless the Agent shall otherwise
agree), (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of the
assigning Lender hereunder with respect thereto and (B) the assigning Lender
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than
rights under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
relating to indemnification or payment of fees, costs and expenses, to the
extent such rights relate to the time prior to the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance) and be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of such assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The terms and
provisions of each

Assignment and Acceptance shall, upon the effectiveness thereof, be incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement, and the covenants, agreements and
obligations of each Lender set forth therein shall be deemed made to and for the
benefit of the Agent and the other parties hereto as if set forth at length
herein.

         (b) The Agent will maintain at its address for notices referred to
herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it
and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from
time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and each Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         (c) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee and, if required,
counterexecuted by the Borrower, together with the Note or Notes subject to such
assignment and the processing fee referred to in subsection (a) above, the Agent
will (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) on the effective date
thereof, record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give
notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, will execute
and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, a new
Note or Notes to the order of the Assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has
retained any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the order of
the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.4
as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitments
of the Assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning
Lender, dated the date of the replaced Note or Notes and otherwise in
substantially the form of EXHIBIT A. The Agent will return canceled Notes to the
Borrower.

         (d) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or
any other Lender, sell to one or more other Persons (each, a "Participant")
participations in any portion comprising less than all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a portion of
its Commitment, the outstanding Loans made by it, the Note or Notes held by it
and its participations in Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged and such Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (ii) no
Lender shall sell any participation that, when taken together with all other
participations, if any, sold by such Lender, covers all of such Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and
no Lender shall permit any Participant to have any voting rights or any right to
control the vote of such Lender with respect to any amendment, modification,
waiver, consent or other action hereunder or under any other Credit Document
(except as to actions that would (x) reduce or forgive the principal amount of
any Loan, reduce the rate of or forgive any interest thereon, or reduce or
forgive any fees or other Obligations, (y) extend the Maturity Date or any other
date fixed for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any fees
or any other Obligations, or (z) increase or extend

any Commitment of any Lender), and (iv) no Participant shall have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, each Participant's
rights against the granting Lender in respect of any participation to be those
set forth in the participation agreement, and all amounts payable by the
Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not granted such
participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant shall have the
rights of a Lender for purposes of SECTIONS 2.16(a), 2.16(b), 2.17, 2.18 and
9.3, and shall be entitled to the benefits thereto, to the extent that the
Lender granting such participation would be entitled to such benefits if the
participation had not been made, provided that no Participant shall be entitled
to receive any greater amount pursuant to any of such Sections than the Lender
granting such participation would have been entitled to receive in respect of
the amount of the participation made by such Lender to such Participant had such
participation not been made.

         (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Lender
from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its rights and interest
hereunder or under any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as security for
borrowings therefrom; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

         (f) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section,
disclose to the Assignee or Participant or proposed Assignee or Participant any
information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to it by or
on behalf of any other party hereto, provided that such Assignee or Participant
or proposed Assignee or Participant agrees in writing to keep such information
confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders under SECTION 11.13.

         11.8 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are
cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and
remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the
part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between any of
the Borrower and the Agent or the Lenders or their agents or employees shall be
effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower in any case shall entitle the
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Agent or any Lender to
exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.

         11.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon,
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto, and all references herein to any party shall be
deemed to include its successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) the
Borrower shall not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of
the Lenders and (ii) any Assignees and Participants shall have such rights and
obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are
provided for under and pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 11.7.

         11.10 Survival. All representations, warranties and agreements made by
or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement and in
the other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or
thereof, the making and repayment of the Loans and the issuance and repayment of
the Letters of Credit. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under
applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of fees, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, the provisions of SECTIONS 2.16(a),
2.16(b), 2.17, 2.18, 10.7, 11.1 and 11.2, shall survive the payment in full of
all Loans and Letters of Credit, the termination of the Commitments and all
Letters of Credit, and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations.

         11.11 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is
prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating
such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement in any jurisdiction.

         11.12 Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and
subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall
not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions
hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit
Documents, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision
of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the
provision of this Agreement shall control.

         11.13 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential,
pursuant to its customary procedures for handling confidential information of a
similar nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, all
nonpublic information provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document;
provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (i) to its
directors, employees and agents and to its auditors, counsel and other
professional advisors, (ii) at the demand or request of any bank regulatory
authority, court or other Governmental Authority having or asserting
jurisdiction over such Lender, as may be required pursuant to subpoena or other
legal process, or otherwise in order to comply with any applicable Requirement
of Law, (iii) in connection with any proceeding to enforce its rights hereunder
or under any other Credit Document or any other litigation or proceeding related
hereto or to which it is a party, (iv) to the Agent or any other Lender, (v) to
the extent the same has become publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Agreement and (vi) pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of SECTION 11.7(f).

         11.14 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by
each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Agent and the Borrower of written
or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery
thereof.

         11.15 Disclosure of Information. The Borrower agrees and consents to
the Agent's disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold
Sheets and other similar bank trade publications. Such information will consist
of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

         11.16 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS AND
INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (A) EMBODY THE ENTIRE
AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO RELATING TO
