Grantor MORTGAGES, GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, TRANSFERS, ASSIGNS and HYPOTHECATES and CONVEYS the Mortgaged Property to Trustee, IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances. The latest scheduled maturity date of the
secured debt is October 28, 2011. 
  
 3. WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND
COVENANTS. Grantor warrants, represents and covenants to Trustee and Beneficiary as follows: 
  
 3.1 Title to Mortgaged Property and Lien of this Instrument. Grantor owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests, except the Permitted Encumbrances. This Deed of Trust creates a
valid, enforceable second priority lien and security interest against the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. 
  
 3.2 Second Lien Status. Grantor shall preserve and protect the second lien and security interest status of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. If any
lien or security interest other than a Permitted Encumbrance is asserted against the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall promptly, and at its expense, (a) give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security interest (including
origin, amount and other terms), and (b) pay the underlying claim in full or take such other action so as to cause it to be released or contest the same in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement (including the requirement of
providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary to the extent required by the Credit Agreement). 
  
 3.3 Payment and Performance. Grantor shall pay and perform the Obligations when due under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and shall perform the Covenants
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party in full when they are required to be performed. 
  
 3.4 Replacement of Fixtures and Personalty. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld, permit any of the
Fixtures or Personalty to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is immaterial or is obsolete and in either case, is replaced by an
article of equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and security interests 

  

 3 








 
of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and free and clear of any other lien or security interest except such as may be first approved in writing
by Beneficiary. 
  
 3.5 Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements and
Licenses. Grantor shall maintain, in the ordinary course of business, all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses, certificates, permits, entitlements and franchises necessary for the use of the Mortgaged Property and will not,
without the prior consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to any public restriction (including any zoning ordinance) or private restriction as to the use of the Mortgaged Property which restriction is reasonably
likely to materially and adversely affect the current use of the Mortgaged Property. Grantor shall comply in all material respects with all restrictive covenants affecting the Mortgaged Property, and all zoning ordinances and other public or private
restrictions as to the use of the Mortgaged Property. 
  
 3.6 Inspection.
Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and its agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Grantor and during normal business hours (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be necessary), to inspect the
Mortgaged Property and conduct such environmental, to the extent Beneficiary believes that there is a reasonable possibility that a release of Materials of Environmental Concern in violation of Environmental Laws may have occurred or is occurring,
engineering and other studies as Beneficiary may reasonably require, provided that such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall indemnify Grantor for all losses
relating to its or its agent’s gross negligence and willful misconduct in connection with such inspection and studies. 
  
 3.7 Other Covenants. All of the covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 4. DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE 
  
 4.1 Remedies. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election and by or through Trustee or otherwise, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses: 
  
 4.1.1 Acceleration. To the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, declare the Obligations 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 Grantor), 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. If Grantor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Beneficiary may invoke
any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor. 
  
 4.1.3 Operation of
Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and 

  

 4 








 
improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by
Trustee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7 hereof. 
  
 4.1.4 Remedies of Beneficiary upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, without prior notice to Grantor,
declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full; and, on application of Beneficiary, Trustee shall foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner permitted by North Carolina law, including selling the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof at public sale to the last and highest bidder for cash, free of any equity of redemption, homestead, dower, curtesy or other state or federal exemption, all of which are expressly waived by Grantor, after compliance with applicable North
Carolina laws relating to foreclosure sales under power of sale; and Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold without any covenant or warranty, expressed or implied. The
recitals in the Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied in the manner and in the order prescribed by applicable North Carolina law, it being agreed
that the expenses of any such sale shall include a commission of five per cent of the gross sales price to Trustee for holding such sale and for all services performed by him hereunder excluding expenses incurred in making sale. In the event a
foreclosure suit or special proceeding is commenced, and no sale is held, then the Grantor shall pay to the Trustee: (a) all expenses incurred by Trustee and (b) a partial commission computed on five percent of the balance of the unpaid
Obligations. Beneficiary may bid and become the purchaser at any sale under this Deed of Trust. At any such sale Trustee may at his election require the successful bidder immediately to deposit with Trustee cash in an amount equal to all or any part
of the successful bid and notice of any such requirement need not be included in the advertisement of the notice of such sale. If foreclosure proceedings are instituted under this Deed of Trust, Trustee is hereby authorized to take possession of the
Mortgaged Property and collect any rental accrued or to accrue; or Trustee may lease the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, receive the rents and profits therefrom, and hold the proceeds remaining after payment of the expenses of managing and
operating the Mortgaged Property subject to the order of the court for the benefit of Beneficiary, pending final disposition on the foreclosure proceedings, and during any period allowed by applicable law for the redemption from any foreclosure sale
ordered in such proceedings; and Trustee may act irrespective of the value of the Mortgaged Property or its adequacy or inadequacy to secure or discharge the indebtedness then owing. 
  
 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 Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Obligations, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor 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 hereof. 
  
 4.1.6 Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity (including an action for specific 

  

 5 








 
performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents, or a judgment on the Notes either before, during or after any proceeding to enforce this Deed of
Trust). 
  
 4.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one
or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales
described in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 4.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent
and Nonexclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary 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 cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be
pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary,
(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 Trustee or Beneficiary 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. 
  
 4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary 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 interests created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their stature as a second and prior lien and security interest in and to the remaining Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Obligations, Beneficiary may
resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect. 
  
 4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor 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 appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process,
redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of Trustee’s election to exercise or its 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. Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to any provision of North Carolina law, including, without limitation, the rights or remedies set forth in N.C. Gen.
Stat. §26-7, et. seq., pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. 
  
 4.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary 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, Beneficiary
shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights,
remedies, recourses and powers of Trustee and Beneficiary shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any 

  

 6 








 
Event of Default that may then exist or the right of Trustee and Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents
for such Event of Default. 
  
 4.7 Application 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 Beneficiary or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order
unless otherwise required by the Credit Agreement or applicable law: 
  
 4.7.1 to the payment of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary in taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without
limitation: (1) trustee’s and receiver’s reasonable fees and expenses, (2) court costs, (3) reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, (4) costs of advertisement, and (5) the
payment of all ground rent, real estate taxes and assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold; 
  
 4.7.2 to the payment of all amounts (including interest), other than the payment of the Obligations, which may be due to
Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; 
  
 4.7.3 to the payment of
the Obligations and performance of the Covenants under the Loan Documents in such manner and order of preference as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; and 
  
 4.7.4 the balance, if any, to the payment of the persons legally entitled
thereto. 
  
 4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any
foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 4.1.4 shall become the legal owner of the Mortgaged Property. All occupants of the Mortgaged Property shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale
and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Mortgaged Property other than the statutory action of forcible detainer
in any justice court having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property. 
  
 4.9
Protective Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. 
  
 4.9.1 If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under
this Section, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust 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
interest rate applicable to overdue Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5(c) of the Credit Agreement, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. 
  
 4.9.2 Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket
attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Obligations or any claim under this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for 

  

 7 








 
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. 
  
 4.10 No Beneficiary 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 Trustee or Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause
Trustee or Beneficiary to be deemed or construed to be a Beneficiary in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Trustee or Beneficiary 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. 
  
 5. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES 
  
 5.1
Assignment. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a present, absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents. While any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall be entitled to (a) notify any person that the Leases have been assigned to
Beneficiary and that all Rents are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Trustee or Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Mortgaged Property; (b) settle, compromise, release, extend the time
of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations under the Leases; (c) enforce payment of Rents and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any claim
with respect to Rents and Leases; (d) enter upon, take possession of and operate the Mortgaged Property; (e) lease all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; and/or (f) perform any and all obligations of Grantor under the Leases and
exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein contained to the full extent of Grantor’s rights and obligations thereunder, with or without the bringing of any action or the appointment of a receiver. For so long as no Event of Default exists,
Grantor shall have a revocable license to deal with and enjoy the rights otherwise described in the preceding sentence. 
  
 5.2 No Obligation. Notwithstanding Beneficiary’s rights hereunder, Beneficiary shall not be obligated to perform, and Beneficiary does not undertake to

 6. SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 6.1 Security Interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law
and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property Agreements. To this end, Grantor grants to Trustee and Beneficiary a second and prior security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property
Agreements and all other Mortgaged Property, to the extent the Mortgaged Property may be subject to UCC, that is personal property to secure the payment of the Obligations and performance of the Covenants under the Loan Documents, and agrees that
Trustee and Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans,
Leases, Rents and Property Agreement sent to Grantor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. 
  
 6.2 Financing Statements. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such
UCC financing statements and such further forms as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s lien priority and security interest hereunder and Beneficiary 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. 
  
 6.3 Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a fixture filing in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-502, to be
recorded in the real estate records of the appropriate county in which the land is located. For purposes of complying with the requirement of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-502, the name of Grantor, as “debtor”, and Beneficiary, as
“secured party”, and the respective addresses of Grantor, as “debtor”, and Beneficiary, as “secured party”, are set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust; the types or items of “collateral” are

 7. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
  
 7.1 Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to
select, employ and consult with counsel. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine.
Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties, including those arising from the joint, concurrent or comparative negligence of Trustee; however, Grantor shall not be
liable under such indemnification to the extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and
reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify, defend and save Trustee harmless against, all liability and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties other than liabilities or expenses arising or accruing as a result of
Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Grantor’s obligations under this Section shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of comparative or contributory negligence. 
  
 7.2 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
moneys received by him hereunder. 
  
 7.3 Successor or Trustee. If Trustee
or any successor Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint one or more substitute Trustees
and, if preferred, several substitute Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and as so executed, such appointment
shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority, valid and sufficient, without further proof of any action. 
  
 7.4 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully and
certainly vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee such estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused
to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor. 
  
 7.5 Trustee Liability. In no
event or circumstance shall Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of this Deed of Trust, either as a result of any action by Trustee (or any substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby

 8.6 Subrogation. To the extent proceeds of the Loan have been used to extinguish,
extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property and held by the holder of such indebtedness and such former
rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary.

set forth in the Indenture. 
  
 8.9 Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar
Rights. Grantor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or
