FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PETER W. MAY and LENI MAY, each an individual (the “Borrowers”), HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY PROMISE TO PAY to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the “Lender”) (i) the principal sum of EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS ($80,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement hereinafter referred to) made by the Lender to either Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement hereinafter referred to, on the Termination Date, and (ii) interest on any and all principal amounts remaining unpaid hereunder from time to time outstanding, from the date hereof until such principal amounts are paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”), interest paid or becoming due hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds at the Lender’s offices at Bank of America, N.A., Banking Center, 101 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255, or at such other place as the Lender shall designate in writing to a Borrower.

This Promissory Note is the Revolving Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 18, 1996, as amended and restated as of June 19, 1997, as amended and restated as of January 2, 1999, as amended and restated as of April 2, 2001, and as amended and restated as of April 23, 2007 (as so amended and restated, and as otherwise further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers and the Lender, and is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, among other things, the Security Documents referred to therein.  The Credit Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions specified therein.

The Revolving Loans made by the Lender to a Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the Schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement.

All of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.  The Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, enforce the provisions hereof against either of the Borrowers and shall not be required to proceed against both Borrowers jointly or seek payment from the Borrowers ratably.
