IN TRUST to secure the Beneficiary for (a) the payment of a certain indebtedness owed by Grantor in the principal amount of SEVENTEEN MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($17,000,000.00), together with interest thereon subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference; (b) the payment of all other sums, with interest thereon as provided herein, advanced in accordance with the provisions hereof by the Beneficiary or the Trustee for the protection of the lien and security interest of the Beneficiary in and to the Property; (c) the payment of all late charges, penalties, costs of collection, legal fees and other sums which may become due and

owing by the Grantor hereunder or under the Agreement, and (d) the performance of the covenants and agreements of the Grantor hereunder and under the Agreement. The above-described indebtednesses are hereinafter called the “Obligations.”

THIS CONVEYANCE IS MADE UPON THIS SPECIAL TRUST, that if Grantor shall pay or perform all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and any renewals, extensions or modifications thereof, and shall comply with all of the covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and this Deed of Trust, then this conveyance shall be null and void and may be cancelled of record at the request and cost of Grantor. But if at any time there shall occur an event of default, as defined in the Agreement and/or this Deed of Trust, then Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in the Agreement and/or this Deed of Trust.

The Grantor also hereby irrevocably assigns and conveys unto the Beneficiary, and grants the Beneficiary a security interest in, all leases now or hereafter existing on any part of the Property and any guaranties thereof and all rents from the Property to secure the payment of all Obligations secured hereunder. The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to do all things which the Grantor might otherwise do with respect to the Property and the leases therein, including, without limitation, collecting said rents with or without suit and applying the same, less expenses of collection, to any of the obligations secured hereunder in such manner as may be determined by the Beneficiary, or at the option of the Beneficiary, holding the same as security for the payment of all obligations secured hereunder, leasing, in the name of the Grantor, the whole or any part of the Property which may become vacant, and employing agents therefor and paying such agents reasonable compensation for their services; provided, however, that until there be a default under the terms of the Agreement or this Deed of Trust, the Grantor may continue to collect and enjoy said rents without accountability to the Beneficiary. The curing of any default, however, shall not entitle the Grantor to again collect said rents unless consent in writing is obtained by the Beneficiary. The powers and rights granted in this paragraph shall be in addition to the other remedies herein provided in the “event of default” (hereinafter defined) and may be exercised independently of or concurrently with any of the said remedies. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to impose any obligation upon the Beneficiary to exercise any power or right granted in this paragraph or to assume any liability under any lease of any part of the Property and no liability shall attach to the Beneficiary for failure or inability to collect any rents under any such lease. The Grantor covenants and warrants that (i) it will comply with all terms and conditions of all leases now existing or that may hereafter come into existence in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (ii) it has not sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, or pledged, and will not sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, or pledge, without the Beneficiary’s prior written consent, the rents, issues, or profits from the Property and leases thereof to any firm, person, or corporation other than the Beneficiary; and (iii) upon request of the Beneficiary, it will execute and deliver to the Beneficiary such other instruments or documents reasonably requested by the Beneficiary for the purpose of securing or exercising its rights herein and it will provide the Beneficiary with true copies or originals of such leases and all amendments, supplements, renewals, or correspondence related thereto.

So long as no event of default exists under this Deed of Trust, the Grantor shall remain in quiet use, possession, and management of the Property, and in the enjoyment of the income, revenue, and profits therefrom.

In addition to the right to require the Trustee to sell for a breach hereof, the Beneficiary shall also have the cumulative right of collecting said indebtedness by suit in equity or action at law, and/or by requiring the Trustee to take possession of and rent the property, either pending a sale or until the amount secured herein shall have been paid, but no liability shall attach to Trustee for failure so to do. Rents collected by the Trustee shall be applied as the proceeds of sale are to be applied.

So long as any part of the Obligations hereby secured remains unpaid, the Grantor, in addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing covenants, agrees as follows:

1. Insurance. The Grantor will maintain fire insurance with extended coverage in the amount of the full replacement cost of the improvements on the Property, and such other insurance as the Beneficiary may from time to time require, with such insurance companies as are acceptable to the Beneficiary, with loss payable to the Beneficiary, without contribution; and will deliver to the Beneficiary the original policy or policies, and, at least ten (10) days before the expiration of any policy, the renewal thereof. In the event the Grantor fails to maintain the required coverage, the Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effect such insurance coverage, pay the premium thereon and the money so paid, with interest thereon at ten percent (10%) per annum, or if lower, the maximum rate allowable by law, shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby. Any insurance proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured (but without any prepayment penalty) except that if, pursuant to the provisions of the next paragraph, the Beneficiary directs the Grantor to restore the damaged portion of the Property, then, to the extent necessary, such proceeds shall (but only to the extent necessary) be applied to the cost of such restoration, and the Beneficiary may, without paying interest thereon, retain all or any part thereof until the Property has been restored to the satisfaction of the Beneficiary.

2. Preservation and Maintenance of Property. The Grantor will keep the Property, including additions and improvements hereafter acquired, in good order and repair, including the making of such replacements as may be necessary for that purpose and, if the Beneficiary so directs, the prompt restoration of any part of the Property which may be damaged by fire or other casualty, irrespective of the availability of adequate insurance proceeds for that purpose.

3. Nuisances. The Grantor will not permit or suffer any nuisance to exist or unlawful activity to take place upon the Property or any part thereof.

4. Further Assurances. The Grantor will execute, or cause to be executed, such further assurances of title to the Property, and will take, and cause to be taken, such steps, including legal proceedings, as may at any time appear to the Trustee, or to the Beneficiary, to be desirable to perfect the title to the Property in the Trustee.

5. Books and Records. The Grantor will keep and maintain at its principal place of business complete and accurate books and records of its earnings and expenses of the Property and copies of all written contracts, leases, and other instruments which affect the Property. Such books, records, contracts, leases, and other instruments shall be subject to examination and inspection at any reasonable time by the Beneficiary and upon default shall be delivered to the Beneficiary at the Beneficiary’s request.

6. Notice of Suits and Proceedings. The Grantor will immediately notify the Beneficiary by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, of any taking or condemnation, or any threatened or pending proceedings for the taking or condemnation, of any part of the Property under any power of eminent domain; and in the event that title to, or possession of, the Property or any portion thereof, is taken or condemned under any power of eminent domain, then the Grantor will (and hereby does) assign, and will forthwith upon receipt pay over, to the Beneficiary the proceeds and consideration resulting from taking or condemnation, not to exceed the unpaid balance of the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, said proceeds so paid to be applied, without repayment premium, to the indebtedness secured hereby.

7. Transfer of Property or Controlling Interest in Grantor. The Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, lease, bargain, sell, transfer, assign, or convey the Property, or any portion thereof, or any legal or equitable interest therein, other than leases in the ordinary course. If the Grantor is not a natural person, then the bargain, sale, transfer, or assignment of all or a

controlling interest portion of the voting stock, membership or partnership interests, or other equity of the Grantor (including, without limitation, transfers resulting from mergers, consolidations, or liquidations, and whether in one or a number of transactions) without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary shall be deemed to be in contravention of the provisions of the first sentence of this Paragraph 7.

NOTICE - THE DEBT SECURED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO CALL IN FULL OR THE TERMS THEREOF BEING MODIFIED IN THE EVENT OF SALE OR CONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY CONVEYED.

8. Protection of the Beneficiary’s Security. In the event the Grantor fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in the Agreement or this Deed of Trust, or any action or proceeding is commenced or threatened which affects the Property or title thereto or the interest of the Trustee or the Beneficiary therein, then, in any of such events, the Beneficiary may take such action as the Beneficiary deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect its interests, including, without limitation, (i) the employment of attorneys and disbursement of legal fees, (ii) the procurement of insurance as provided in Paragraph 1 hereof, and (iii) if the Property is subject to another deed of trust or lien, whether inferior or superior hereto, the curing of any default in the performances of any of the terms and provisions thereof, or if the indebtedness thereby secured is accelerated, the purchase or payment in full of such indebtedness, all on such terms as the Beneficiary shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Any amounts disbursed by the Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall be added to, and deemed a part of, the indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear interest from the date of the disbursement thereof at ten percent (10%) per annum, or if lower, the highest rate allowed by law, and shall, together with the interest thereon, be repayable by the Grantor on demand.

(a) This Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement with respect to all collateral of Grantor now owned or hereinafter acquired and located upon the Property. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in the collateral including, without limitation, all boilers, all heating, air conditioning and ventilating components and systems, all lighting, electrical power, plumbing, sprinkler and water components and systems, all carpets, wall coverings, screens and drapes, all mechanical and hydraulic components and systems and all appliances (including stoves, ranges, refrigerators, disposals, dishwashers, washers and dryers, trash compactors and similar appliances) located on and used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Property.

(b) With respect to those items of the collateral which are or are to become fixtures related to the Property, this Deed of Trust shall constitute a financing statement filed as a fixture filing.

A The Grantor and any other parties, including, but not limited to, tenants, licensees, and occupants, will not be involved in any activity on, in or under the Property, which activity could involve or lead to the use, manufacture, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Wastes or Toxic Substances, or the imposition of liability on the Grantor or any other subsequent or former owner of the Property or the creation of a lien on the Property under any Environmental Laws.

D. The Grantor agrees that in the event of the presence of any Hazardous Waste or Toxic Substance upon the Property, whether or not the same originates or emanates from the Property, or if the Grantor shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of the Environmental Laws, the Beneficiary may at its election, but without the obligation to do so, give such notices, cause such work to be performed at the Property, or take any and all other actions as the Beneficiary shall deem necessary or advisable in order to abate, remove, and clean up the Hazardous Waste or Toxic Substance or otherwise cure the Grantor’s non-compliance.

A. Default in the performance of, or compliance with, any of the covenants, conditions, and agreements set forth in the Agreement or in this Deed of Trust (provided however that such a default under this Deed of Trust is subject to a right to cure with 30 days advance written notice unless the Beneficiary reasonably determines that such a delay would materially negatively impact the value of the security and lien granted hereby);

B. Default under any other lien or encumbrance placed on the Property, or any interest therein (legal or equitable), or any part thereof, either inferior or superior in right to the lien of this Deed of Trust;

C. The termination of, or occurrence of any event negatively affecting, the validity of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust;

a) In addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law, Beneficiary, following the occurrence of any event of default, Beneficiary may without further notice direct Trustee, and Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, to enter and take possession of the Property, personally or through his agent, and it shall be lawful for and the duty of the Trustee to sell the Property at public sale for cash, in compliance with the provisions of the General Statutes of North Carolina relating to non-judicial foreclosure sales in effect on the date that foreclosure is commenced.

b) At the time and place fixed for the sale, Trustee shall sell the Property, personally or through his agent, to the highest bidder for cash, and Trustee shall execute a conveyance in fee simple to and deliver possession to the purchaser.

The bid may be rejected if the deposit is not immediately made, and the next highest bidder may be declared to be the purchaser. The deposit shall be refunded in the case of a resale; otherwise, it shall be applied to the purchase price.

c) Nothing in this Paragraph 12 dealing with foreclosure procedures which specifies any particular actions to be taken by Trustee or Beneficiary shall be deemed to contradict the requirements and procedures (now or hereinafter existing) of North Carolina law, and any such contradiction shall be resolved in favor of North Carolina law applicable at the time of foreclosure.

13. Non-Waiver. No delay, act, or failure to act, by the Trustee and the Beneficiary, or any of them, however long continued, shall be construed as a waiver of any of their rights hereunder or of any default by the Grantor.

West 39.03 feet, an arc length of 39.24 feet to a point; thence South 80 deg. 10 min. West 53.17 feet to the center of Buckeye Cove Road. The foregoing right of way is subject to the encroachment thereon by the portion of the building located thereon, as shown on the said plat of Kenneth O. Pankow.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Present Right of Way is terminable by Buckeye Limited Partnership or its successor in ownership of the 4.22 Acre Tract shown on said Pankow plat, in the manner set forth hereafter. At such time as there is constructed a roadway (the “Roadway”) of as good quality, material and width as that which presently exists within the Present Right of Way, Grantee shall be provided with a document in recordable form granting a perpetual, non-exclusive easement 40 feet in width over the Roadway and upon which Grantee shall release all its rights in the Present Right of Way

by joining therein. The centerline of the Roadway is intended to be substantially as follows: Beginning at the Drive Point and running thence, North 60 deg. 44 min. East 79.49 feet to a point; thence on a curve to the left with a radius of 70 feet, a chord bearing and distance of North 19 deg. 21 min. East, 92.56 feet, an arc length of 101.13 feet to a point; thence North 22 deg. 2 min. West 63.82 feet to a point; thence on a curve to the left with a radius of 125 feet, a chord bearing and distance of North 49 deg. 5 min. West, 113.16 feet, an arc length of 117.99 feet to a point; thence on a curve to the left with a radius of 125 feet, a chord bearing and distance of North 86 deg. 16 min. West 44.02 feet, an arc length of 44.25 feet to a point; thence South 83 deg. 36 min. West 118.42 feet to a point; thence South 78 deg. 15 min. West 254.62 feet to a point; thence on a curve to the left with a radius of 70 feet, a chord bearing and distance of South 56 deg. 55 min. West 50.92 feet, an arc length of 52.12 feet to a point; thence on a curve to right with radius of 90 feet, a chord bearing and distance of South 56 deg. 29 min. West 64.18 feet an arc length of 65.62 feet to a point; thence South 77 deg. 22 min. West 45.71 feet to a point in the center of Buckeye Cove Road. Grantor excepts and reserves herefrom a perpetual non-exclusive easement 40 feet in width over and across the roadway, including those portions which lie within the bounds of the 7.03 acre tract above described. The Roadway shall provide access to both the 7.03 acre tract as well as the 1.76 acre tract shown on the said Pankow plat. Grantor further excepts herefrom the non-exclusive, perpetual right of way over the following described tract for the purpose of utilizing the same as a part of the Roadway, to wit: Beginning at a point standing South 22 deg. 2 min. East 20.16 feet from the Drive Point and running North 60 deg. 44 min. East 44.05 feet to a point; thence on a curve to the left with a radius of 50 feet, a chord bearing and distance of South 19 deg. 21 min. West 66.111 feet, an arc length of 72.23 feet to a point; thence North 22 deg. 2 min. West 44.06 feet to the beginning. Grantee understands that Grantor may, but need not, use the Roadway for access to the 1.76 acre tract in lieu of any other access route.
