-----------------------
Indebtedness when due under the Loan Documents and shall perform the Obligations

SECTION 3.4 REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONALTY. Mortgagor shall

not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, permit any of the Fixtures

security interests of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and free and
clear of any other lien or security interest except such as may be permitted
under the Credit Agreement or first approved in writing by Mortgagee.

Lenders, and their respective agents, representatives and employees, upon
reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor, to inspect the Mortgaged Property and all

provided that such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with
the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.6 OTHER COVENANTS. All of the covenants in the Credit
---------------
Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and, together with covenants in
this Article, shall be covenants running with the land.
-------
SECTION 3.7 CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
------------------------------------------
3.7.1 Condemnation Awards. Mortgagor assigns all awards and
-------------------
compensation to which it is entitled for any condemnation or other taking, or
any purchase in lieu thereof, to Mortgagee and authorizes Mortgagee to collect
and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and
acquittances therefor, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

------------------
proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor
4
authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such proceeds and authorizes and

such losses directly to Mortgagee, instead of to Mortgagor and Mortgagee
jointly.
ARTICLE 4
DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE
-----------------------
SECTION 4.1 REMEDIES. If an Event of Default exists, Mortgagee may,
--------
at Mortgagee's election, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies
and recourses:
4.1.1 Acceleration. Declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due
------------
and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same
shall become immediately due and payable.
4.1.2 Entry on Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property and
---------------------------
take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts
relating thereto or located thereon. If Mortgagor remains in possession of the
Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without Mortgagee's prior
written consent, Mortgagee may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess
Mortgagor.
4.1.3 Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage,
-------------------------------
operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions
as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs,
alternations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to
time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other
amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.7.
-----------
4.1.4 Foreclosure and Sale. Institute proceedings for the complete
--------------------
foreclosure of this Mortgage, by judicial action, in which case the Mortgaged
Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With respect to
any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees that five
days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such
sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, or any other legal right, remedy or
recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass
to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor
shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title,
interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at
law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual
bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons
claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under
Mortgagor. Mortgagee or any of the Lenders may be a purchaser at such sale. If
Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee may credit the portion of the
purchase price that would be distributed to
5
Mortgagee against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this
Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged
Property is waived.
4.1.5 Receiver. Make application to a court of competent
--------
jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and
without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property
for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the
Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any
such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar
cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the
Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall
apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.
-----------
4.1.6 Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses
-----
granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.
SECTION 4.2 SEPARATE SALES. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in
--------------
one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole
discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
SECTION 4.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE.
------------------------------------------------
Mortgagee and the Lenders shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted
in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which
rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,
successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the
Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of
them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee or the Lenders, (c) may be exercised
as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to
exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of
any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be,
nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee or the Lenders in the enforcement of any
rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or
equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
SECTION 4.4 RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Mortgagee may
-----------------------------------
release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to
or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any
part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way
impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest
created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and
prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment
of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order
and manner as Mortgagee may elect.
SECTION 4.5 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION, NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS.
-------------------------------------------------------
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and
6
releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present
or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the
Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for
any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of
time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee's
election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse
provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of
assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
SECTION 4.6 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. If Mortgagee or the
-----------------------------
Lenders shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted
under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it
for any reason, Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have the unqualified right to do
so and, in such an event, Mortgagor, Mortgagee, and the Lenders shall be
restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the
Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the
rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee and the Lenders shall
continue and if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no
such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may
then exist or the right of Mortgagee or the Lenders thereafter to exercise any
right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
SECTION 4.7 ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of, and
----------------------
the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management,
operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee
(or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise
required by applicable law:
4.7.1 to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession
of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving
and selling the same, including, without limitation (1) receiver's fees and
expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver's
certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys' and accountants' fees and
expenses, and (4) costs of advertisement;
4.7.2 to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the
Obligations in such manner and order of preference as Mortgagee in its sole
discretion may determine; and
4.7.3 the balance, if any, to the payment of the Persons legally
entitled thereto.
SECTION 4.8 OCCUPANCY AFTER FORECLOSURE. Any sale of the Mortgaged
---------------------------
Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 4.1.4 will divest all
-------------
right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to
applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate
possession of the property purchased. If Mortgagor retains possession of such
property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be
considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor
remains in possession
7
after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or
otherwise, with or without process of law.
SECTION 4.9 ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF
-----------------------------------------------
ENFORCEMENT.
- -----------
4.9.1 If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee and each of the
Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of
Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses
incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any Lender under this Section, or otherwise
-------
under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall
bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to
and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which
interest is then computed on the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with
interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.
4.9.2 Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement
of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or
settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the
rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.
SECTION 4.10 NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Neither the enforcement of
--------------------------
any of the remedies under this Article, the assignment of the Rents and Leases
-------
under Article 5, the security interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies
--------- ---------
afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause
Mortgagee or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in
possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any Lender to
lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur
any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability
whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
ARTICLE 5
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
------------------------------
SECTION 5.1 ASSIGNMENT. In furtherance of and in addition to the
----------
assignment made by Mortgagor in Section 2.1 of this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby
-----------
absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to
Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now
existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in
and to all Rents. If permitted under applicable law, this assignment is an
absolute assignment and not merely an assignment for additional security. So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor
shall have a revocable license from Mortgagee to exercise all rights extended to
the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all
Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of
the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted
8
subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and
without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of
Mortgagor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate,
without notice by Mortgagee (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by
Mortgagor).
SECTION 5.2 PERFECTION UPON RECORDATION. Mortgagor acknowledges that
---------------------------
Mortgagee has taken all actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation
of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable
law, a valid and fully perfected first priority present assignment of the Rents
arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases. Mortgagor
acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee's
interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, "choate" and
enforced as to Mortgagor and all third parties, including, without limitation,
any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United
States Code (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE"), without the necessity of commencing a
foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the
Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative
action.
SECTION 5.3 BANKRUPTCY PROVISIONS. Without limitation of the
---------------------
absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and
Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a "security agreement"
for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest
created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the
commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c)
such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after
the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.
SECTION 5.4 NO MERGER OF ESTATES. So long as part of the
--------------------
Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged,
the fee and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but
shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates
either in Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any tenant or any third party by purchase or
otherwise.
ARTICLE 6
SECURITY AGREEMENT
------------------
SECTION 6.1 SECURITY INTEREST. This Mortgage constitutes a "Security
-----------------
Agreement" on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other
applicable law and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents and
Property Agreements. To this end, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a first and
prior security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents and Property
Agreements and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal property to secure
the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, and
9
agrees that Mortgagee shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or
other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures,
Leases, Rents and Property Agreements sent to Mortgagor at least five (5) days
prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to
Mortgagor.
SECTION 6.2 FINANCING STATEMENTS. Mortgagor shall execute and
--------------------
deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, such
financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to
time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee's
security interest hereunder and Mortgagee may cause such statements and
assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required
or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest.
Mortgagor's chief executive office is in the State of North Carolina at the
address set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.
SECTION 6.3 FIXTURE FILING. This Mortgage shall also constitute a
--------------
"fixture filing" for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Mortgaged
Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security
interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Mortgagor)
and Secured Party (Mortgagee) as set forth in the first paragraph of this
Mortgage.

herein, "Mortgagor" shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of
this Mortgage and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in the Mortgaged

within ten (10) days after written request by Mortgagee, (b) upon the issuance
of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed
in lieu of
10
foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further
assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Personalty, Fixtures and Property
Agreements in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or
desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing
statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like
papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagee's security interests
and rights in or to any of the Mortgaged Property, and (d) while any Event of
Default exists, to perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder, however: (1)
Mortgagee shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any
obligation of Mortgagor; (2) any sums advanced by Mortgagee in such performance
shall be added to and included in the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at
the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness; (3)
Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as
are actually received by Mortgagee; and (4) Mortgagee shall not be liable to
Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action which

respective successors and assigns. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, assign any rights, duties or obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 7.5 NO WAIVER. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
---------
strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan
Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Mortgagee or the
Lenders shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of
all of such terms, provisions and conditions.
SECTION 7.6 CREDIT AGREEMENT. If any conflict or inconsistency
----------------
exists between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement
shall govern.
SECTION 7.7 RELEASE OR RECONVEYANCE. Upon payment in full of the
-----------------------
Indebtedness and performance in full of the Obligations, Mortgagee, at
Mortgagor's expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by

caused thereby, if Mortgagor sells or transfers for value any portion of the
Mortgaged Property as permitted under Section 7.7 of the Credit Agreement,
Mortgagee shall release the liens and security interests created by this
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property or reconvey such Mortgaged Property to
Mortgagor, concurrently with the consummation of such sale or other transfer.
Such release or reconveyance shall be at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, and
only upon not less than thirty days' prior written notice to Mortgagee.
SECTION 7.8 WAIVER OF STAY, MORATORIUM AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Mortgagor
---------------------------------------------
agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any

The laws of South Carolina provide that in any real estate foreclosure
proceeding a defendant against whom a personal judgment is taken or asked may
within thirty days after the sale of the mortgaged property apply to the court
for an order of appraisal. The statutory appraisal value as approved by the
court would be substituted for the high bid and may decrease the amount of any
deficiency owing in connection with the transaction. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY
WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES THE STATUTORY APPRAISAL RIGHTS WHICH MEANS THE HIGH BID
AT THE JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE WILL BE APPLIED TO THE DEBT REGARDLESS OF ANY
APPRAISED VALUE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor and Mortgagee have on the date set forth in
the acknowledgement hereto, effective as of the date first above written, caused
this instrument to be duly EXECUTED AND DELIVERED under seal by authority duly
given.
