the Closing Date (but not to exceed three (3)&nbsp;increases in the aggregate), to incur additional Indebtedness under this Agreement in the form of an increase to the Revolving Committed Amount
(each an "<U>Incremental Facility</U>") by an aggregate amount of up to $25,000,000. The following terms and conditions shall apply to each Incremental Facility: (a)&nbsp;the
loans made under any such Incremental Facility (each an "<U>Additional Loan</U>") shall constitute <U>Borrowers' Obligations</U> and will be secured and
guaranteed with the other <U>Borrowers' Obligations</U> on a pari passu basis, (b)&nbsp;any such Incremental Facility shall have the same terms (including interest rate and

proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the existing Revolving Loans, (d)&nbsp;any such Incremental Facility shall be obtained from existing Lenders or from other banks, financial institutions
or investment funds, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth below, (e)&nbsp;any such Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of

notes as are necessary to reflect the Additional Loans under any such Incremental Facility, (h)&nbsp;the conditions to Extensions of Credit in Section&nbsp;4.2 shall have been satisfied and
(i)&nbsp;the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Parent Borrower updated financial projections and an officer's certificate, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, demonstrating that, after giving effect to any such Incremental Facility on a pro forma basis, the Borrowers will be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth
in Section&nbsp;5.9. Participation in the Incremental Facility shall be offered first to each of the existing Lenders, but each such Lender shall have no obligation to provide all or any portion of
the Incremental Facility. If the amount of the Incremental Facility requested by the Parent Borrower shall exceed the commitments which the existing Lenders are willing to provide with respect to such
Incremental Facility, then the Parent Borrower may invite other banks, financial institutions and investment funds reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to join this Agreement as Lenders
hereunder for the portion of such Incremental Facility not taken by existing Lenders, provided that such other banks, financial institutions and investment funds shall enter into such joinder
agreements to give effect thereto as the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, on behalf of the Lenders, any
amendment to this Agreement or any other Credit Document as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of any new Incremental Facility therein. </FONT></P>

Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that any such occurrence or failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to

assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan
allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount which, as determined in accordance with GAAP, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Borrower, nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is currently subject to any liability for a complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a

shall have received such directions, the Administrative 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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
judicial proceedings brought against the Borrowers with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of
competent jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Borrowers accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and
unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from
which no appeal has been taken or is available. Each of Borrowers irrevocably agrees that all service of process in any such proceedings in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section&nbsp;9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Borrowers to be effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives
any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action
or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to bring proceedings against the Borrowers in the court of any other jurisdiction. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;9.15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Arbitration</U>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section&nbsp;9.14 to the contrary, upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or within three (3)&nbsp;months after
institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents ("Disputes") between or
among parties to this Credit Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein. Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that party to demand
arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, claims brought as class actions, claims arising
from Credit Documents executed in the future, or claims arising out of or connected with the transaction reflected by this Credit Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arbitration
shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and Title 9 of the
U.S. Code. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Charlotte, North Carolina. A hearing shall begin within 90&nbsp;days of demand for arbitration and all hearings shall be concluded within
120&nbsp;days of demand for arbitration. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party shows cause for extension </FONT></P>

and then no more than a total extension of 60&nbsp;days. The expedited procedures set forth in Rule&nbsp;51 <U>et seq</U>. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to
claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of limitation shall apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Arbitrators shall be
licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The parties hereto do not waive applicable Federal or state substantive law except as provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration provision does not apply to disputes under or related to Hedging Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree to preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that the
Agent on behalf of the Lenders may employ or exercise freely, independently or in connection with an arbitration proceeding or after an arbitration action is brought. The Agent on behalf of the
Lenders shall have the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self-help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable (i)&nbsp;all rights to
foreclose against any real or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted under Credit Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a
proceeding to confirm the sale; (ii)&nbsp;all rights of self-help including
peaceful occupation of real property and collection of rents, set-off, and peaceful possession of personal property; (iii)&nbsp;obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including
injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (iv)&nbsp;when applicable, a judgment by confession of
judgment. Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;The
parties hereto agree that they shall not have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against the other in any Dispute and hereby waive any right or claim to
punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is resolved by arbitration or judicially. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;By
execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each of the parties hereto accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally,
the non-exclusive jurisdiction relating to any arbitration proceedings conducted under the Arbitration Rules in Charlotte, North Carolina and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final
judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Credit Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. </FONT></P>
