Goody's Family Clothing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

(1)  Unaudited financial information

In  the  opinion  of  the  Company's  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited
consolidated   financial  statements  of  Goody's  Family  Clothing,   Inc.  and
subsidiaries (the "Company")  include all adjustments,  consisting  primarily of
normal and  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
Company's  financial  position,  results  of  operations  and cash flows for the
interim periods presented. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business,
the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the  results  that may be  achieved  for the  entire  year.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements  and the notes thereto  contained in the Company's 1996 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

(2)  Credit arrangements

The Company has a credit  agreement  with a consortium of banks for an unsecured
revolving  line of  credit  which  provides  for  cash  borrowings  for  general
corporate  purposes  as well as for the  issuance  of letters of credit of up to
$100,000,000.  On May 16,  1997,  the Company  amended its credit  agreement  to
increase its unsecured  revolving line of credit to $120,000,000  and extend its
expiration date to May 31, 1999. The Company is committed to pay (i) interest on
the cash  borrowings  at a  fluctuating  base rate or LIBOR  plus an  applicable
margin,  as  defined,  (ii)  letter of credit fees based on the number of days a
letter of credit is  outstanding  times the  applicable  fee and (iii) an annual
commitment fee payable  quarterly in advance.  The terms of this credit facility
require,  among other things,  maintenance  of minimum  levels of  shareholders'
equity and compliance with certain  financial  ratios and place  restrictions on
additional indebtedness, asset disposals,  investments, capital expenditures and
payment of dividends.

(3)  Earnings per share

Weighted average common shares  outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
includes  common  equivalent  shares to account for the dilutive effect of stock
options.  Common  equivalent  shares were not  materially  dilutive in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 and therefore were not included in the earnings per share
computations for such period.

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").
This Statement  establishes new standards for computing and presenting  earnings
per share  ("EPS")  information.  SFAS No. 128  simplifies  the  computation  of
earnings per share currently required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
15,  "Earnings  per Share" and its related  interpretations.  The new  Statement
replaces the  presentation  of "primary"  (and when  required  "fully  diluted")
earnings  per share with  "basic" and  "diluted"  earnings  per share.  This new
Statement is effective for financial  statements issued for periods ending after
December  15,  1997,  including  interim  periods;  earlier  application  is not
permitted. The Company's computation of basic and diluted EPS under SFAS No. 128
for the  thirteen-week  periods  ended  May 3,  1997 and May 4, 1996 will not be
materially different than EPS currently reported for those periods.

(4)  Reclassifications

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the financial  statements of prior
periods to conform to the current period presentation.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Goody's Family Clothing, Inc.
Knoxville, Tennessee

We have  reviewed the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheets of
Goody's Family Clothing, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996
and the related  consolidated  statements of  operations  and cash flows for the
thirteen-week   periods  then  ended.   These   financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We  conducted  our  reviews in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A  review  of  interim
financial  information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons  responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the  expression  of an opinion  regarding the  financial  statements  taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards,  the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Goody's Family Clothing,
Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of  February  1,  1997,  and the  related  condensed
consolidated statements of operations,  shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended (not  presented  herein);  and in our report dated March 19,
1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our
opinion,  the information set forth in the accompanying  condensed  consolidated
balance sheet as of February 1, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the condensed  consolidated  balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

</TABLE>

Sales - Sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 1997 were  $190,057,000,  a 26.1%
increase  over the  $150,766,000  for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1996.  This
increase of $39,291,000  consisted of (i) a 14.9%  increase in comparable  store
sales of $21,598,000 from the  corresponding  period of the previous fiscal year
and (ii) additional sales from new and transition  stores of $17,693,000.  Sales
for the quarter were driven by favorable customer reaction to certain brand-name
and private label  merchandise as well as strong promotions of spring and summer
fashion merchandise.

Gross  Profit  -  Gross  profit  for  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997  was
$54,977,000,  or 28.9% of sales, a $12,332,000 increase over the $42,645,000, or
28.3% of sales,  in gross profit for the first  quarter of the  previous  fiscal
year. The 0.6% increase in gross profit, as a percent of sales,  consists of (i)
a decrease in cost of sales by 0.3% as a result of  well-positioned  inventories
at the  beginning  of fiscal 1997 which  allowed  the Company to realize  higher
gross  margins  and  (ii) a  decrease  in  occupancy  costs  by 0.3%  due to the
excellent sales for the quarter.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses  -  Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were  $47,245,000,
or 24.8% of sales,  an  increase of  $7,970,000  from  $39,275,000,  or 26.0% of
sales, for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses decreased by 1.2%, as a percent of sales, for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared  with the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal
year and is comprised of (i) a 0.1%  decrease in payroll  expenses,  (ii) a 0.9%
decrease in advertising  and  promotional  expenses and (iii) a 0.2% decrease in
depreciation and amortization expenses.

Interest  Expense -  Interest  expense  for the  first  quarter  of fiscal  1997
increased by $38,000  compared  with the first  quarter of the  previous  fiscal
year.

Investment  Income -  Investment  income for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997
increased by $214,000  compared  with the first  quarter of the previous  fiscal
year primarily as a result of an increase in invested funds during the period.

Income Taxes - The  provision  for income taxes for the first  quarter of fiscal
1997 was  $3,035,000,  for an  effective  tax rate of 37.5% of  earnings  before
income  taxes,  compared  with  $1,351,000,  for an effective tax rate of 38% of
earnings before income taxes, for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The decrease in the  effective  tax rate is  primarily  due to a decrease in the
overall effective state income tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial  Position - The Company's  primary sources of liquidity are cash flows
from operations,  including credit terms from vendors,  and borrowings under its
credit  agreement  with a consortium  of banks.  At May 3, 1997,  the  Company's
working capital was $50,182,000 compared with $29,565,000 at May 4, 1996. At the
end of the first  quarter of fiscal 1997  compared with the first quarter of the
previous  fiscal year, (i) cash,  cash  equivalents  and  investment  securities
increased by $6,736,000  and property and equipment  increased by $2,392,000 and
(ii) inventories and accounts  payable  increased by $31,106,000 and $9,174,000,
respectively,  in  anticipation  of the  summer  selling  season  as  well as an
increase in the number of stores and a strategic  build-up  of  primarily  basic
inventory items. Trade payables, as a percent of inventories,  were 67.1% at May
3, 1997 compared with 77.6% at May 4, 1996.

At May 3, 1997,  the Company had an  unsecured  revolving  line of credit from a
consortium of banks which  provides for cash  borrowings  for general  corporate
purposes as well as for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $100,000,000.
On May 16,  1997,  the Company  amended  its credit  agreement  to increase  its
unsecured line of credit to  $120,000,000  and extend its expiration date to May
31, 1999. At May 3, 1997, the Company had no cash  borrowings  under this credit
facility and $62,035,000  was in use for outstanding  letters of credit compared
with no cash  borrowings and  $24,163,000  utilized for  outstanding  letters of
credit at May 4, 1996.  In addition,  there were no cash  borrowings  during the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997  and  1996,  respectively.  Letters  of  credit
outstanding  averaged  $38,571,000  during  the first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997
compared with $15,884,000 during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal
year.  The  highest  balance of letters of credit  outstanding  during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996 was  $62,035,000  (in May 1997) and  $24,316,000
(in May 1996), respectively. See Note 2 to Notes to Financial Statements.

Cash Flows - Operating  activities used cash of $13,536,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997  compared  with  $3,574,000  in the first quarter of the previous
fiscal  year.  Cash used in  operating  activities  during the first  quarter of
fiscal 1997 for seasonal  inventory  increases  was  $34,820,000  compared  with
$32,942,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Accounts payable
provided cash of  $17,187,000  in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with
$21,373,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Depreciation and
amortization amounted to $2,614,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared
with $2,290,000 for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Cash flows  from  investing  activities  for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997
reflected a net use of cash amounting to $2,650,000 compared with $3,075,000 for
the first quarter of the previous  fiscal year.  The cash was used  primarily to
fund capital  expenditures  incurred  relating to new stores  opened  during the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996.

Cash provided by financing  activities  for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
$2,449,000 compared with cash used by financing activities of $3,437,000 for the
first quarter of the previous fiscal year. The cash  management  program used by
the Company  provided  cash of  $1,899,000  in the first  quarter of fiscal 1997
compared  with  cash  used of  $3,437,000  in the  corresponding  period  of the
previous  fiscal  year.  During the first  quarter of fiscal  1997,  the Company
received  $550,000  from the  issuance of common  stock on the exercise of stock
options.

Outlook - The Company plans to open 15 to 17 new stores,  relocate  seven stores
and expand or remodel three stores during the remainder of fiscal 1997, bringing
the  total  number  of  stores  in  operation  at the  end  of  fiscal  1997  to
approximately   224.   Management   estimates  that  capital   expenditures   of
approximately  $20,300,000 will be required to open new stores, upgrade existing
stores,   purchase   computer  systems  and  equipment  and  for  other  capital
expenditure requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1997.

The Company's  primary needs for capital resources are for the purchase of store
inventories,  capital expenditures and for normal operating purposes. Management
believes that cash flows from  operations,  including credit terms from vendors,
and the  borrowings  available  under its credit  facility will be sufficient to
meet the Company's operating and capital expenditure requirements.

This Quarterly  Report contains  certain  forward-looking  statements  which are
based upon current expectations,  plans and estimates and involve material risks
and uncertainties  including,  but not limited to, customer demand and trends in
the apparel and retail  industry and to the acceptance of  merchandise  acquired
for  sale  by  the  Company,   the  effectiveness  of  planned  advertising  and
promotional  events,  the  impact  of  competitors'  pricing,  individual  store
performance,  including new stores, adverse weather conditions,  and the general
economic conditions within the Company's markets. The Company does not undertake
to publicly update or revise its  forward-looking  statements even if experience
or future changes make it clear that any projected  results expressed or implied
therein  will not be  realized.  Additional  information  on factors  that could
potentially affect the Company's financial results may be found in the Company's
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Seasonality and Inflation

The Company's business is seasonal by nature. The Christmas season (beginning on
the  Sunday  before   Thanksgiving  and  ending  on  the  first  Saturday  after
Christmas), the back-to-school season (beginning approximately the first week of
August and continuing through the first week of September) and the Easter season
(beginning  approximately  two weeks  before  Easter  Sunday  and  ending on the
Saturday preceding Easter) collectively accounted for approximately 35.5% of the
Company's  annual sales,  based on the  Company's  last three fiscal years ended
February  1, 1997.  In general,  sales  volume  varies  directly  with  customer
traffic,  which is  heaviest  during the third and fourth  quarters  of a fiscal
year.

The Company does not believe  inflation has had a material effect on its results
of  operations  during the past three  fiscal  years.  However,  there can be no
assurance  that the Company's  business will not be affected by inflation in the
future.

                  Subsidiary of the Borrowers or Guarantors  provided,  however,
                  that such  transaction  does not violate Sections 9.3 and 9.7,
                  and  provided,  further,  that any  merger,  consolidation  or
                  transaction allowed under this Section 11.1.15 does not result

                      AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

$24,000,000       Knoxville, Tennessee      May 16, 1997

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  on or before the  Termination  Date, as defined in

aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans advanced here against pursuant to
that certain  Amended and Restated  Credit  Agreement dated October 31, 1996, by
and among Maker, First Tennessee Bank National  Association,  a national banking
association,  as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto, as amended
by that certain  Amendment  Agreement of even date herewith  (together  with any
amendments  thereto  and/or  modifications  thereof,  herein  referred to as the
"Credit  Agreement";  capitalized  terms used but not otherwise  defined  herein
shall have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement), together with interest
on the unpaid  principal  balance of the Loans  evidenced  hereby at the rate(s)
specified in the Credit Agreement;  provided that in no event shall the interest
and loan charges payable in respect of the indebtedness  evidenced hereby exceed
the maximum amounts from time to time allowed to be collected  under  applicable
law.

         Principal and interest payable in respect of the indebtedness evidenced
by this Note shall be due and  payable at the times and in the manner  specified
in the Credit Agreement.

         Holder  hereby  is  authorized  to  record  and  endorse  the  date and
principal  amount of each Loan made by it,  and the  amount of each  payment  of
principal  and  interest  made to such Holder with  respect to such Loans,  on a
schedule annexed to and constituting a part of this Note, which  recordation and
endorsement  shall  constitute prima facie evidence of the respective Loans made
by Holder to Maker and payments made by Maker to Holder,  absent manifest error;
provided,  however,  that (a) Holder's  failure to make any such  recordation or
endorsement  shall not in any way limit or otherwise  affect the  obligations of
Maker or the  rights  and  remedies  of Holder  under  this  Note or the  Credit
Agreement  and (b)  payments to Holder of the  principal  of and interest on the
Loans  evidenced  hereby  shall not be  affected by the failure to make any such

principal  amount of each Loan made by it,  and the  amount of each  payment  of

recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the Loans made by Holder to
Maker and payments in respect  thereof made by Maker to Holder,  absent manifest
error.

         Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  the entire  outstanding
principal  balance  of the  indebtedness  evidenced  hereby,  together  with all
accrued and unpaid interest  thereon,  may be declared,  and  immediately  shall
become,  due and  payable in full,  all as  provided  in the  Credit  Agreement,
subject to applicable notice and cure provisions in the said Credit Agreement.

         Presentment for payment,  demand, protest and notice of demand, protest

as provided in the Credit Agreement.

         This Note is one of the "Notes" in the  aggregate  principal  amount of
$120,000,000 issued by Maker pursuant to the Credit Agreement,  and this Note is
entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         It is the intention of Maker and Holder to conform strictly to all laws
applicable to the Holder that govern or limit the interest and loan charges that
may be charged in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Anything in this
Note,  the Credit  Agreement or any of the other Loan  Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding,  in no event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of  advancement of
proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,  acceleration of the maturity of
the unpaid balance of any of the  Obligations  or otherwise,  shall the interest
and loan  charges  agreed  to be paid to any of the  Lenders  for the use of the
money advanced or to be advanced under the Credit  Agreement  exceed the maximum
amounts  collectible   pursuant  to  applicable  law.  Pursuant  to  the  Credit
Agreement, Maker and the Lenders have agreed that:

                  (a) if for any reason  whatsoever the interest or loan charges
         paid or contracted to be paid by Maker to any of the Lenders in respect
         of the Loans shall exceed the maximum amount  collectible under the law
         applicable  to such Lender,  then, in that event,  and  notwithstanding
         anything  to the  contrary  in the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes or any
         other  Loan  Document  (i)  the  aggregate  of all  consideration  that
         constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law  applicable to such
         Lender that is contracted  for,  taken,  reserved,  charged or received
         under the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes or any other Loan  Document  or
         otherwise in connection  with the  Obligations  under no  circumstances
         shall exceed the maximum  amounts  allowed by such  applicable law, and
         any excess  paid to any Lender  shall be credited by such Lender on the
         principal  amount of the  Obligations  (or, to the extent the principal
         amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement,  the Notes and the other
         Loan  Documents has been or thereby would be paid in full,  refunded to
         Maker),  and (ii) in the event that the  maturity  of any or all of the
         Obligations  is  accelerated  by reason of an  election  of the Lenders
         resulting from any Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise,  or
         in the  event  of any  required  or  permitted  prepayment,  then  such
         consideration  that constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law
         applicable  to any  Lender  may never  include  more  than the  maximum
         amounts  allowed by the law  applicable to such Lender,  and any excess
         interest  or loan  charges  provided  for in the  Credit  Agreement  or
         otherwise  shall  be  canceled  automatically  as of the  date  of such
         acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore  paid, shall be credited
         by such Lender on the principal  amount of the Obligations  (or, to the
         extent  the  principal  amount of the  Obligations  has been or thereby
         would be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Maker);

                  (b) all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the  Lenders for the
         use,  forbearance  or detention of sums due under the Credit  Agreement
         shall,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  be  prorated,
         allocated and spread  throughout the full term of the Obligations until
         payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest and loan charges
         on account of the  Obligations  will not  exceed any  applicable  legal
         limitation; and

                  (c) the right to  accelerate  the maturity of the  Obligations

notwithstanding,  in no event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of  advancement of
proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,  acceleration of the maturity of
the unpaid balance of any of the  Obligations  or otherwise,  shall the interest
and loan  charges  agreed  to be paid to any of the  Lenders  for the use of the
money advanced or to be advanced under the Credit  Agreement  exceed the maximum
amounts  collectible   pursuant  to  applicable  law.  Pursuant  to  the  Credit
Agreement, Maker and the Lenders have agreed that:

                  (a) if for any reason  whatsoever the interest or loan charges
         paid or contracted to be paid by Maker to any of the Lenders in respect
         of the Loans shall exceed the maximum amount  collectible under the law
         applicable  to such Lender,  then, in that event,  and  notwithstanding

         other  Loan  Document  (i)  the  aggregate  of all  consideration  that
         constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law  applicable to such
         Lender that is contracted  for,  taken,  reserved,  charged or received
         under the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes or any other Loan  Document  or
         otherwise in connection  with the  Obligations  under no  circumstances
         shall exceed the maximum  amounts  allowed by such  applicable law, and
         any excess  paid to any Lender  shall be credited by such Lender on the
         principal  amount of the  Obligations  (or, to the extent the principal
         amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement,  the Notes and the other
         Loan  Documents has been or thereby would be paid in full,  refunded to
         Maker),  and (ii) in the event that the  maturity  of any or all of the
         Obligations  is  accelerated  by reason of an  election  of the Lenders
         resulting from any Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise,  or
         in the  event  of any  required  or  permitted  prepayment,  then  such
         consideration  that constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law
         applicable  to any  Lender  may never  include  more  than the  maximum
         amounts  allowed by the law  applicable to such Lender,  and any excess
         interest  or loan  charges  provided  for in the  Credit  Agreement  or
         otherwise  shall  be  canceled  automatically  as of the  date  of such
         acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore  paid, shall be credited
         by such Lender on the principal  amount of the Obligations  (or, to the
         extent  the  principal  amount of the  Obligations  has been or thereby
         would be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Maker);

                  (b) all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the  Lenders for the
         use,  forbearance  or detention of sums due under the Credit  Agreement
         shall,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  be  prorated,
         allocated and spread  throughout the full term of the Obligations until
         payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest and loan charges
         on account of the  Obligations  will not  exceed any  applicable  legal
         limitation; and

                  (c) the right to  accelerate  the maturity of the  Obligations
         does not include the right to  accelerate  the maturity of any interest
         or loan charges not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration,
         and the  Lenders  do not  intend  to  charge or  collect  any  unearned
         interest or loan charges in the event of any such acceleration.

         This Note has been  negotiated,  executed and delivered in the State of
Tennessee,  and is  intended  as a  contract  under and shall be  construed  and
enforceable in accordance with the laws of said state,  without reference to the
conflicts or choice of law principles thereof, except to the extent that Federal
law may be applicable to determining  the maximum amount of interest that may be

         It is the intention of Maker and Holder to conform strictly to all laws
applicable to the Holder that govern or limit the interest and loan charges that
may be charged in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Anything in this
Note,  the Credit  Agreement or any of the other Loan  Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding,  in no event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of  advancement of
proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,  acceleration of the maturity of
the unpaid balance of any of the  Obligations  or otherwise,  shall the interest
and loan  charges  agreed  to be paid to any of the  Lenders  for the use of the

amounts  collectible   pursuant  to  applicable  law.  Pursuant  to  the  Credit
Agreement, Maker and the Lenders have agreed that:

                  (a) if for any reason  whatsoever the interest or loan charges
         paid or contracted to be paid by Maker to any of the Lenders in respect
         of the Loans shall exceed the maximum amount  collectible under the law
         applicable  to such Lender,  then, in that event,  and  notwithstanding
         anything  to the  contrary  in the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes or any
         other  Loan  Document  (i)  the  aggregate  of all  consideration  that
         constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law  applicable to such
         Lender that is contracted  for,  taken,  reserved,  charged or received
         under the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes or any other Loan  Document  or
         otherwise in connection  with the  Obligations  under no  circumstances
         shall exceed the maximum  amounts  allowed by such  applicable law, and
         any excess  paid to any Lender  shall be credited by such Lender on the
         principal  amount of the  Obligations  (or, to the extent the principal
         amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement,  the Notes and the other
         Loan  Documents has been or thereby would be paid in full,  refunded to
         Maker),  and (ii) in the event that the  maturity  of any or all of the
         Obligations  is  accelerated  by reason of an  election  of the Lenders
         resulting from any Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise,  or
         in the  event  of any  required  or  permitted  prepayment,  then  such
         consideration  that constitutes  interest or loan charges under the law
         applicable  to any  Lender  may never  include  more  than the  maximum
         amounts  allowed by the law  applicable to such Lender,  and any excess
         interest  or loan  charges  provided  for in the  Credit  Agreement  or
         otherwise  shall  be  canceled  automatically  as of the  date  of such
         acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore  paid, shall be credited
         by such Lender on the principal  amount of the Obligations  (or, to the
         extent  the  principal  amount of the  Obligations  has been or thereby
         would be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Maker);

                  (b) all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the  Lenders for the
         use,  forbearance  or detention of sums due under the Credit  Agreement
         shall,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  be  prorated,
         allocated and spread  throughout the full term of the Obligations until
         payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest and loan charges
         on account of the  Obligations  will not  exceed any  applicable  legal
         limitation; and

                  (c) the right to  accelerate  the maturity of the  Obligations
         does not include the right to  accelerate  the maturity of any interest
         or loan charges not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration,
         and the  Lenders  do not  intend  to  charge or  collect  any  unearned
         interest or loan charges in the event of any such acceleration.

         This Note has been  negotiated,  executed and delivered in the State of
Tennessee,  and is  intended  as a  contract  under and shall be  construed  and
enforceable in accordance with the laws of said state,  without reference to the
conflicts or choice of law principles thereof, except to the extent that Federal
law may be applicable to determining  the maximum amount of interest that may be
charged by Holder in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
