set forth in the Minimum Offering Notice or the documents described in Exhibit C

                        ----------

            -------------------------------------------------------
time,  (i)  there  shall  exist  any  dispute between Charleston, Issuer, Escrow
Agent,  any  Subscriber  or  any  other  person  with  respect to the holding or
disposition  of  all or any portion of the Escrow Funds or any other obligations

----------
Escrow  Agent  may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following
actions:

          a.     suspend  the  performance  of any of its obligations (including

appropriate  method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue convenient
to  Escrow  Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty,

held  by  it  in the Escrow Funds for holding and disposition in accordance with
the  instructions  of  such  court.

Escrow  Agent  shall  have no liability to Charleston, Issuer, any Subscriber or
any  other  person  with  respect  to  any  such  suspension  of  performance or
disbursement  into  court,  specifically  including  any  liability  or  claimed
liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of
any  delay  in  the  disbursement  of  the  Escrow Funds or any delay in or with
respect  to  any  other  action  required  or  requested  of  Escrow  Agent.

            ---------------------

reinvestment  may  be  made  except  in  the  following:

          a.     direct  obligations  of  the  United  States  of  America  or
obligations  the  principal  of  and  the  interest on which are unconditionally

          If  Escrow Agent has not received written instructions from Charleston
at  any time that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent shall invest
the  Escrow  Funds,  or such portion thereof as to which no written instructions
have  been  received, in investments described in clause (b) above.  Each of the
foregoing  investments  shall  be made in the name of Escrow Agent in its stated
capacity  as  escrow  agent.  No  investment  shall be made in any instrument or
security  that  has  a maturity of greater than six (6) months.  Notwithstanding
anything  to  the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent may, without notice to
Charleston  or Issuer, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any
time  if  the proceeds thereof are required for any disbursement of Escrow Funds
permitted  or  required hereunder.  All investment earnings shall become part of
the  Escrow  Funds  and  investment  losses  shall be charged against the Escrow
Funds.  Escrow  Agent  shall  not  be  liable or responsible for any loss in the
value  of any investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement or for any loss,
cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of the Escrow Funds. With
respect  to any Escrow Funds or any written investment instruction of Charleston
received  by  Escrow  Agent  after ten o'clock, a.m., Charlotte, North Carolina,
time,  Escrow Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to effect such
investment  instruction  until the next day upon which banks in Charlotte, North
Carolina  are  open  for  business.

     7.     Resignation  of  Escrow  Agent.  Escrow  Agent  may  resign  and  be
            ------------------------------
discharged  from  the  performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving
ten (10) days prior written notice to the Charleston and the Issuer specifying a
date  when  such  resignation  shall  take  effect.  Upon  any  such  notice  of
resignation,  the Charleston and Issuer jointly shall appoint a successor Escrow
Agent  hereunder  prior to the effective date of such resignation.  The retiring
Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall
pay  all Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such
records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after payment by Issuer
or deduction from Escrow Funds (to the extent of Issuer's rights therein) of all
fees  and  expenses  (including  court  costs  and  attorneys' fees) payable to,
incurred  by,  or  expected  to  be  incurred  by  the  retiring Escrow Agent in
connection  with  the  performance  of its duties and the exercise of its rights
hereunder.  After  any  retiring  Escrow  Agent's resignation, the provisions of
this  Escrow  Agreement  shall  inure  to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement.
Any  corporation  or  association  into  which the Escrow Agent may be merged or
converted  or  with  which  it  may  be  consolidated,  or  any  corporation  or
association  to  which  all  or  substantially all of the escrow business of the
Escrow Agent's corporate trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the
Escrow  Agent  under  this  Escrow  Agreement  without  further  act.

     8.     Liability  of  Escrow  Agent.
            ----------------------------

          a.     The  Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are
expressly  set  forth  herein  and no duties shall be implied.  The Escrow Agent
shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any
agreement  other  than  this  Escrow Agreement, including without limitation the
Offering Document.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted  by  it  in  good  faith  except to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction  determines


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
that  the  Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary
cause  of  any  loss to the Issuer, Charleston or any Subscriber. Escrow Agent's
sole  responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow
Funds  in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall
have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or
notice  of  any  fact  or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow
Agent  may  rely  upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not
only  as  to  its  due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the
truth  and  accuracy  of  any  information contained therein, which Escrow Agent
shall  believe  to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person
or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable
for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including,
but  not  limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of
the  likelihood  of  such  loss  or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Escrow  Agent  shall  not  be obligated to take any legal action or commence any
proceeding  in  connection  with  the  Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow
Funds  are  deposited,  this  Escrow  Agreement  or the Offering Document, or to
appear  in,  prosecute  or  defend  any such legal action or proceeding. Without
limiting  the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible
for  or  required  to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any subscription
agreement  with any Subscriber or any other agreement between Issuer, Charleston
and/or  any  Subscriber.  Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any
manner  for  the  performance  by  Issuer  or any Subscriber of their respective
obligations  under  any  subscription  agreement  nor  shall  Escrow  Agent  be
responsible or liable in any manner for the failure of Issuer, Charleston or any
third  party  (including  any Subscriber) to honor any of the provisions of this
Escrow  Agreement.  Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the
event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions
hereof  or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any
dispute  involving  any  party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be
fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the
opinion  or instruction of such counsel. Issuer shall promptly pay, upon demand,
the  reasonable  fees  and  expenses  of  any  such  counsel.

          b.     The  Escrow  Agent  is  authorized,  in its sole discretion, to
comply  with  orders  issued or process entered by any court with respect to the
Escrow  Funds,  without  determination  by  the  Escrow  Agent  of  such court's
jurisdiction  in  the matter.  If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time
attached,  garnished  or  levied  upon  under  any  court  order, or in case the
payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall
be  stayed  or  enjoined  by  any court order, or in case any order, judgment or
decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part
thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole
discretion,  to  rely  upon  and  comply  with any such order, writ, judgment or
decree  which  it  is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it
without  the  need  for appeal or other action; and if the Escrow Agent complies
with  any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of
the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance
even  though  such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed,
modified,  annulled,  set  aside  or  vacated.

     9.     Indemnification  of  Escrow  Agent.  From and at all times after the
            ----------------------------------
date  of this Escrow Agreement, Issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law,  indemnify  and  hold harmless the


                                      -7-

Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate
of  Escrow  Agent  (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any and all
actions,  claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses  of  any  kind  or  nature  whatsoever  (including  without  limitation
reasonable  attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against
any  of  the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct,
indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating
to  any  claim,  demand,  suit,  action  or proceeding (including any inquiry or
investigation) by any person, including without limitation Issuer or Charleston,
whether  threatened  or  initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable
remedy  against  any  person under any statute or regulation, including, but not
limited  to,  any  federal  or state securities laws, or under any common law or
equitable  cause  or  otherwise,  arising  from  or  in  connection  with  the
negotiation,  preparation,  execution,  performance or failure of performance of
this  Escrow  Agreement  or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not
any  such  Indemnified  Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or
the  target  of  any  such  inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no
Indemnified  Party  shall  have  the  right  to be indemnified hereunder for any
liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no
further  appeal,  to  have  resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct  of  such  Indemnified  Party.  The  obligations of Issuer under this
Section  9  shall  survive  any  termination  of  this  Escrow Agreement and the
----------
resignation  or  removal  of  Escrow  Agent.

     10.     Compensation  to  Escrow  Agent.
             -------------------------------

          a.     Fees  and  Expenses.  Issuer  shall compensate Escrow Agent for
                 -------------------

                                               ---------
addition,  shall  reimburse Escrow Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees, travel expenses, telephone and facsimile

and  form  a  part  of  this  Escrow  Agreement.  All  of  the  compensation and
reimbursement  obligations  set  forth  in  this  Section 10 shall be payable by
                                                  ----------
Issuer  upon  demand  by  Escrow  Agent.  The  obligations  of Issuer under this
Section  10  shall  survive  any  termination  of  this Escrow Agreement and the
-----------
resignation  or  removal  of  Escrow  Agent.

or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section
                                                                         -------

     The  Acceptance Fee and the Annual Escrow Fee are payable upon execution of

     in  law,  procedures,  or  the  cost  of doing business demand. Services in
     addition  to  and not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement, including, but
     not limited to, document amendments and revisions, non-standard cash and/or

     Unless  otherwise  indicated, the above fees relate to the establishment of
     one  escrow  account.  Additional  sub-accounts governed by the same Escrow
     Agreement may incur an additional charge. Transaction costs include charges
     for wire transfers, checks, internal transfers and securities transactions.
