		 	(SD-L&S)
		
	$5,500,000.00	 	Greenville, South Carolina
		 	January 2, 2007
	Master Note	 	

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (whether one or more, “Borrower”) promises to pay to RBC CENTURA
BANK (“Bank”), or order, the sum of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,500,000.00), or so much thereof as shall have been disbursed from time to time and remains unpaid, together with interest at the rate and
payable in the manner hereinafter stated. Principal and interest shall be payable at any banking office of Bank in the city or town indicated above, or such other place as the holder of this Note may designate. 
 Article I. Interest Rate. 
 Section 1.1. Rate of
Accrual. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the rate set forth in Section 1.2.1. until maturity of this Note, whether such maturity occurs by acceleration or on the Maturity Date. Interest will accrue on any
unpaid balance owing under this Note, whether principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges or costs and expenses, after maturity at the rate set forth in Section 1.2.2. All accrual rates of interest under this Note will be contract rates
of interest, whether a pre-default rate or a default rate, and references to contract rates in any loan documents executed and delivered by Borrower or others to Bank in connection with this Note shall be to such contract rates. 
 Section 1.2. Interest Rates. 
 1.2.1.
Pre-Default Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2.2. below, interest payable on this Note per annum will accrue at two hundred and fifty basis points (2.50%) plus the LIBOR Base Rate. The “LIBOR
Base Rate” is the London Interbank Offer Rate for United States Dollars for a term of one month which appears on Telerate Page 3750, Bloomberg Professional Screen BBAM (or any generally recognized successor method or means of publication) as of
11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective. The rate for the first month or part thereof will initially become effective on the date of the Note as shown on the face hereof.
Thereafter, the rate will change and a new rate will become effective on the first calendar day of each succeeding month. If for any reason the London Interbank Offer Rate is not available, then the “LIBOR Base Rate” shall mean the rate
per annum which banks charge each other in a market comparable to England’s Eurodollar market on short-term money in U.S. Dollars for an amount substantially equivalent to the principal amount due under this Note as determined at 11:00 A.M.,
London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective, as determined in the Bank’s sole discretion. Bank’s determination of such interest rate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 1.2.2. Default Rate. Upon the nonpayment of any payment of interest described herein, Bank, at its option and without accelerating
this Note, may accrue interest on such unpaid interest at a rate per annum (“Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum rate of interest that may be charged to and collected on commercial loans without violating applicable
law or (ii) five percent (5.0%) plus the pre-default interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder, as set forth in Section 1.2.1. After maturity of this Note, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest will accrue on the
unpaid principal of this Note, any accrued but unpaid interest and all fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses owing hereunder at the Default Rate until this Note is paid in full, whether this Note is paid in full pre-judgment or
post-judgment. 







 1.2.3. Variable Rate; Calculation of Interest. 
 1.2.3.1. Variable Rate. This is a variable rate note. Any change in the rate of interest payable under this Note will equal the change in the
variable rate index to which such rate is tied, but the rate at which interest accrues under this Note shall never exceed the maximum contract rate which may be charged to and collected from Borrower on the loan evidenced by this Note under
applicable law. Bank shall have no obligation to notify Borrower of adjustments in the rate of interest payable under this Note. Adjustments to the rate of interest will be effective on the date of change in the variable rate index. 
 1.2.3.2. Calculation of Interest. All interest payable under this Note shall accrue daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a
year of three hundred sixty (360) days. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which
funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to close of business. Payments in federal funds, immediately available in the place designated for payment, received by Bank prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of
payment, shall be credited as if received prior to close of business on the day the funds are immediately available; while other payments, at the option of Bank, may not be credited until such payments are immediately available to Bank, in federal
funds, in the place designated for payment, prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day on which Bank is open for business. 
 Article II. Payment Terms. 
 Section 2.1. Interest Payment Terms. Payments under this Note include an interest component and a
principal component. The principal component is set forth in Section 2.2 below. The interest component shall be paid monthly, in arrears, beginning February 1, 2007, and continuing on the same calendar day of each consecutive month
thereafter until the Maturity Date, when all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable in full. 
 Section 2.2. Principal Payment Terms;
Maturity Date. As stated in Section 2.1 above, payments under this Note include an interest component and a principal component. The interest component is set forth in Section 2.1 above. The principal component shall be
paid on May 30, 2007 (herein referred to as the “Maturity Date”), when one payment of the entire balance of principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses then outstanding on this Note shall be due and payable in
full. 
 Section 2.3. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. 
 Section 2.4. Application of Payments. All payments made on this Note shall be applied first to payment of all late fees, charges, premiums and costs and
expenses due but unpaid under this Note, then to accrued but unpaid interest and finally to principal, in the inverse order of the payment dates therefor, unless Bank determines in its sole discretion to apply payments in a different order or
applicable law requires a different application of payments. The partial prepayment of this Note, if permitted, shall not result in a payment holiday or any other deferral of any regularly scheduled payments under this Note, all of which shall be
made as and when the same are scheduled to be paid. 
 Article III. Loan Agreement and Security. 
 Section 3.1. Loan Agreement. Borrower and Bank have entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement dated of even date herewith
(“Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”). Borrower shall perform and abide by, as and when so required, each and all of the covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or applicable to Borrower in the Amended and Restated Loan
and Security Agreement and all security documents and other agreements referenced therein. This Note shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, and if any terms or conditions of these two
agreements conflict, the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement shall prevail. 
 Section 3.2. Security
Documents. This Note is secured by (1) the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, (2) the security documents and other supporting obligations identified in the Amended and Restated 








 
Loan and Security Agreement, (3) the security documents and other supporting obligations which reference that they secure this Note or the Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement, (4) any security documents and other supporting obligations which reference that they secure all indebtedness or other obligations owing from time to time by Borrower to Bank, and (5) any security
documents and other supporting obligations which reference that they secure all indebtedness from time to time owing from Borrower to Bank other than consumer credit as defined under the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation Z (Truth-in-Lending)
(12 CFR 226 et seq.) (“security documents”). 
 Article IV. Default and Acceleration. 
 Section 4.1. Late Charges and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay, upon demand by Bank or if demand is not sooner made, on maturity of this Note, whether such
maturity occurs by acceleration or on the Maturity Date, for each payment past due for fifteen (15) or more calendar days, a late charge in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) four percent (4%) of the amount of the payment past due
or (2) the maximum percentage of the payment past due permitted by applicable law, or the maximum amount if not expressed as a percentage. If this Note is not paid in full whenever it becomes due and payable, Borrower agrees to pay all costs
and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Borrower hereby stipulates that reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding balance (principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges and
costs and expenses) owing under this Note after default and referral to an attorney not a salaried employee of Bank. 
 Section 4.2. Default. Any
Event of Default under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note. 
 Section 4.3. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (1) the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all other amounts owing and all other amounts to be owing under this Note, shall, at
the option of Bank, become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand, and (2) the Bank may, both before and after acceleration, exercise any of and all of its other rights and remedies under this Note and the other loan documents,
as well as any additional rights and remedies it may have at law and it may have in equity, to recover full payment of the balance (principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses) owing under this Note. The failure by Bank to
exercise any of its options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise same in the event of any subsequent default. 
 Article V.
Miscellaneous.

under this Note, including payment in full of the loan evidenced hereby, in using and applying the various terms, provisions and conditions in this Note, the following shall apply: (1) words in the masculine gender mean and include correlative

inserting the date. 







 Section 5.8. Master Note. If this Note is designated herein as a MASTER NOTE or is denoted on Bank’s
records as a MASTER NOTE, then this Note evidences a line of credit and Borrower shall be liable for only so much of the principal amount as shall be equal to the total of the amounts advanced to or for Borrower by Bank from time to time, less all
payments made by or for Borrower and applied by Bank to principal, and for interest on each such advance, fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses incurred or due hereunder, all as shown on Bank’s books and records which shall be
conclusive evidence of the amount owed by Borrower under this Note, absent a clear and convincing showing of bad faith or manifest error. If this is a MASTER NOTE, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of an event which, with
the giving of notice or a lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under this Note in addition to its other rights and remedies, Bank may terminate or suspend Borrower’s right to receive any future or additional advances under
this Note and the other loan documents. 
 Section 5.9. Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism. Borrower represents, warrants and covenants to
Bank as follows: (1) Borrower (a) is not and shall not become a person whose property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking

compliance, in all material respects, with (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other
enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (b) the Uniting And Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001); and (3) Borrower has not and
shall not use all or any part of the proceeds, advances or other amounts or sums evidenced by this Note, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for
political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 
 Section 5.10. Amendment and Restatement. This Note amends and restates in its entirety that certain Commercial Promissory Note dated March 14, 2005, as

 Notice –Waiver of Right of Appraisal 
 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.
