signature or writing reasonably believed by such Covered Person to be genuine, and may rely in good
faith on a certificate signed by an executive officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact
with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge and may rely in good faith on an
opinion of counsel selected with reasonable care by such Covered Person with respect to legal
matters. Each Covered Person may act directly or through such Covered Person’s agents or

of its agents and/or attorneys, in form and content acceptable to the Company in its reasonable
discretion. Each Covered Person may consult with counsel,

liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members

investigative or otherwise, of whatever nature, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated
(“Claims”), that may accrue to or be incurred by any Covered Person, or in which any
Covered Person may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any Covered Person may
be threatened, relating to or arising out of the investment or other activities of the Company, or

this Agreement, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or
penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense
or disposition of any investigation, action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding (a
“Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal (all of such Claims and amounts covered by this
Section 4.3, and all expenses referred to in Section 4.3(d), are referred to collectively as
“Damages”), except to the extent that it shall have been determined ultimately by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such Damages arose primarily from the breach of this Agreement or
the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of such Covered Person (any such breach, intentional
misconduct or gross negligence being “Disabling Conduct”). The termination of any
Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to
such settlement or otherwise relating to such Proceedings arose primarily from a material violation
of this Agreement by, or the Disabling Conduct of, any Covered Person.

     (b) No Direct Member Indemnity. Members shall not be required directly to indemnify
any Covered Person.

     (c) Expenses. The reasonable expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or

a court of competent jurisdiction that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified
hereunder.

     (d) Notices of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the
commencement of any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company, give written notice to the Company of the
commencement of

9

 

such Proceeding, provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.3, except to
the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any
such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of the
Company), the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the
extent that the Company may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person.
After notice from the Company to such Covered Person of the Company’s election to assume the
defense thereof, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered
Person in connection with the defense thereof. The Company will not consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such Claim. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein
shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered
Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

     (e) No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 shall constitute a waiver by any
Member of any right that it may have against any party under U.S. federal or state securities laws.

     (f) Expenses Incurred in Connection With This Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 4.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Members,

state or local income tax purposes under Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-3(a) or under any
corresponding provision of state or local law.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS; WITHHOLDING; REDEMPTION

     6.1 Distributions.

     (a) Timing and Form of Distributions. The Company shall, subject to the other
provisions of this Article VI, make a distribution of any Cash Flow or Disposition Proceeds, as
applicable, pursuant to Sections 6.1(b) or Section 6.1(c), as applicable, not less frequently than
quarterly.

     (b) Making of Distributions of Cash Flow. Cash Flow shall be distributed to the
Members based on their relative Unit ownership as of the date of such distribution; provided,
however, that if and to the extent distributions of Cash Flow coincide with the payment of
dividends in respect of the REIT Common Shares, which typically will occur quarterly, no Member
shall be entitled to a distribution of Cash Flow with respect to any fiscal quarter unless such
Member shall have been a Member during such fiscal quarter.

     (c) Making of Distribution of Disposition Proceeds. Disposition Proceeds shall be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances. The Capital
Account balances of all of the Members shall be adjusted immediately after any Capital Transaction
and prior to any

11

 

distribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) to reflect the allocation of all
profits and losses of the Company through the date of the event of the transaction that produces
such Disposition Proceeds, including an allocation of all profits and loss from the Partnership
with respect to such Capital Transaction that produces such Disposition Proceeds.

     6.2 General Distribution Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, distributions shall be made only to the extent of Available Assets and in compliance
with the Act and other applicable law. Any distribution by the Company pursuant to Articles VI and
X to the Person shown on the Company’s records as a Member or to such Member’s legal
representatives, or to the transferee of such Person’s right to receive such distributions as
provided herein, shall acquit the Company of all liability to any other Person that may be
interested in such distribution by reason of any Transfer of such Person’s interest in the Company
for any reason (including a Transfer of such interest by reason of the death, incompetence,
bankruptcy or liquidation of such Person).

     6.3 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Member
hereby authorizes the Company to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or
other taxes payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates (pursuant to the Code or any provision
of U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law) with respect to such Member or as a result of
such Member’s status as a Member hereunder. If and to the extent that the Company shall be
required to withhold or pay any such withholding or other taxes, such Member shall be deemed for
all purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the Company as of the time such
withholding or other tax is required to be paid, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution
with respect to such Member’s interest in the Company to the extent that such Member (or any
successor to such Member’s interest in the Company) would have received a distribution but for such
withholding. In addition, if and to the extent that the Company receives a distribution or payment
from or in respect of which tax was withheld, as a result of (or attributable to) such Member’s
status as a Member hereunder, as determined by the Manager, such Member shall be deemed for all
purposes of this Agreement to have received a distribution from the Company as of the time such
withholding was paid. Unless the Manager
determines otherwise, the withholdings by the Company referred to in this Section 6.3 shall be
made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law.

     6.4 Redemption Right.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of any agreements between the Company, the Partnership, EDR or
any Affiliate thereof and one or more Members, each Member (other than the Manager) shall have the
right (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Company to redeem on a Specified Redemption
Date all or a portion of the Units held by such Member at a redemption price equal to the Cash
Amount to be paid by the Company in cash or REIT Common Shares. The Company shall have until five
Business Days following the time that it receives from the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.4(b)
(the “Payout Period”) the consideration from the Associated Partnership Units (as defined
in Section 6.4(b) below) to redeem the Units offered for redemption from the Member (the
“Redeeming Member”) who is exercising the Redemption Right. If, pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement, the Company receives REIT Common Shares in redemption or sale of some or all
of the Associated Partnership Units tendered pursuant to Section 6.4(b), then the Company may pay
all or any portion of the unpaid Cash Amount payable to the Redeeming Member with REIT Common
Shares having a Value equal to such portion of the unpaid Cash Amount. A Redeeming Member shall
also be entitled to receive any interest on the Cash Amount (whether paid in cash or REIT Common
Shares) that is paid by the Partnership, EDR or any Affiliate thereof on the cash or REIT Common
Shares distributed or paid to the Partnership in connection with the redemption or sale of the
Associated Partnership Units. The Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of
Redemption delivered to the Company by the Redeeming Member. Following its receipt of a Notice of
Redemption, the Company shall promptly exercise its right, to the extent it has the

12

 

right under the Partnership Agreement, to redeem the applicable Associated Partnership Units. A Member may not
exercise the Redemption Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Units or, if such Member holds
less than one thousand (1,000) Units, less than all of the Units held by such Member. Moreover, a
Member may not exercise the Redemption Right more than once per calendar quarter, provided,
however, that the Manager may amend this Section 6.4(a) to limit the number of exercises of the
Redemption Right by the Members to not less than once per calendar year. Neither the Redeeming
Member nor any permitted or purported assignee of any Member shall have any right, with respect to
any Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date. Each
Redeeming Member agrees to provide such representations and related indemnities regarding good and
unencumbered title, and to execute such documents, as the Manager may reasonably require in
connection with any redemption.

     (b) If a Redeeming Member exercises its Redemption Right, then the Company shall exercise its
redemption right under the Partnership Agreement with respect to a number of Partnership Units (the
“Associated Partnership Units”) that are redeemable under the Partnership Agreement for an
amount of cash equal to the Cash Amount for the Units that the Redeeming Member has elected to
redeem and the Partnership shall pay the Cash Amount with cash or REIT Common Shares that are paid
or distributed to the Company in connection with the redemption or sale of such Associated
Partnership Units. Each Redeeming Member agrees to provide such representations and related
indemnities regarding good and unencumbered title, and to execute such documents, as EDR may
reasonably require in connection with the issuance or transfer of REIT Common Shares to the
Redeeming Member, upon exercise of the Redemption Right. If the Redemption Right is satisfied by
the delivery of REIT Common Shares, the Redeeming Member shall be deemed to become a holder of REIT
Common Shares as of the close of business on the Specified Redemption Date.

     (c) Each Member covenants and agrees that all Units delivered for redemption shall be
delivered to the Company free and clear of all liens and, notwithstanding anything herein contained
to the contrary, neither the Manager, EDR (nor any of its Affiliates) nor the Company shall be
under any obligation to
acquire Units which are or may be subject to any liens. Each Member further agrees that, in
the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its
Units to the Company, such Member shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

     (d) REIT Common Shares delivered to a Redeeming Member pursuant to this Section 6.4 may
contain such legends regarding restrictions on transfer as EDR in good faith determines to be
necessary or advisable in order to (i) comply with restrictions on transfer under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws and (ii) protect the ability of EDR to continue to qualify
as a real estate investment trust.

ARTICLE VII

BOOKS AND RECORDS; TAX RETURNS; REPORTS TO MEMBERS

     7.1 Books and Records. The Manager shall keep or cause to be kept full and accurate
accounts of the transactions of the Company in proper books and records of account, which shall set
forth all information required by the Act. Such books and records shall be maintained on the basis
utilized in preparing the Company’s United States income tax returns. Such books and records shall
be available for inspection and copying by the Members to the extent required by applicable law or
as otherwise may be determined by the Manager, provided that unless otherwise determined by the
Manager, no Member (other than the Manager) shall be entitled to review, inspect or know the Units
owned by any other Member, and further provided that, each Member (other than the Manager) agrees
that it will not request

13

 

from the Internal Revenue Service or any other state or local agency a
copy of the Company’s Form 1065 (or applicable state or local return) with respect to any year.

     7.2 United States Federal, State and Local Income Tax Information. On a timely basis,
after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall send to each Person that was a Member at any
time during such fiscal year copies of (a) Schedule K-1 to United States Internal Revenue Service
Form 1065, “Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, Etc.,” or any successor schedule or
form, for such Person, together with such additional information as may be necessary for such
Person to file his, her or its United States federal income tax returns, and (b) such similar
schedules as may be necessary for such Person to file his, her or its state and local income tax
returns.

     (b) Units. In connection with the admission of any Additional Member, the Manager
shall determine the number of Units to be issued to such Additional Member. In the event that,
after taking into account the Units to be issued to such Additional Member, the aggregate Units
held by all Members (including the Units to be issued to such Additional Member) exceeds the
aggregate number of Partnership Units held by the Company, the Manager shall reduce the Units held
by it until the aggregate Units held by all Members is equal to the aggregate number of Partnership
Units held by the Company.

     9.2 Transfers.

     (a) General. Except as provided in Section 9.2(b), no Member may Transfer in any
manner whatsoever all or any part of such Member’s interest in the Company without the express
prior written consent of the Manager.

     (b) Certain Transfers. Without the consent of the Manager, upon the death of a Member
who is a natural person, such Member’s interest will be transferred to the estate of such Member or
otherwise in accordance with applicable law, provided that such transferee shall not be substituted
for the deceased Member as a member of the Company without the consent of the Manager and such
Member’s interest shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(c) below.

14

 

     (c) Mandatory Transfer Upon Termination of Employment, Retirement or After Death. If
at any time a Member’s employment by EDR or one of its Affiliates shall terminate for any reason
(including death, disability or retirement), such Member, or his personal representative or lawful
assign, shall Transfer such Member’s Units to the Company. The Company shall purchase and redeem
such Units for a price, payable in cash within ten (10) business days after termination, equal to
the greater of $1.00 or such Member’s Capital Account at the date of termination. In the
alternative, EDR, at its sole option, may pay all or any portion of the purchase price for such
Units with REIT Common Shares having a Value equal to the portion of such purchase price not paid
in cash.

     (d) Conditions to Transfer. No Transfer of an interest in the Company shall be
permitted if (i) such Transfer would result in a violation of applicable law, including any
securities laws, (ii) as a result of such Transfer, the Company or the Partnership would be
required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or (iii) such
Transfer would result in the Company at any time during its taxable year having more than 100
members, within the meaning of section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations (taking into
account section 1.7704-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations).

     (e) Transfers in Violation of Agreement Not Recognized. Unless effected in accordance
with and as permitted by this Agreement, any attempted Transfer or substitution not effected in
accordance with and as permitted by this Agreement shall be void.

ARTICLE XII

POWER OF ATTORNEY; REPRESENTATIONS

     12.1 Power of Attorney. Subject to Section 11.2, each Member does hereby irrevocably
constitute and appoint the Manager, or the successor thereof, with full power of substitution, the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of such Member, to execute, acknowledge, verify, swear
to, deliver, record and file, in his, her or its name, place and stead, all instruments, documents
and certificates which may from time to time be required by the laws of the
United States of America, the State of Delaware, any other jurisdiction in which the Company
conducts or plans to conduct business, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, to
effectuate, implement and continue the valid existence and business of the Company, including,
without limitation, the power and authority to execute, verify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver,
record and file:

     (a) all certificates and other instruments, including, without limitation, any amendments to
this Agreement or to the Certificate that the Manager deems appropriate to (i) form, qualify or
continue the Company as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and all other
jurisdictions in which the Company conducts or plans to conduct business and (ii) admit the
undersigned as a Member in the Company;

     (b) all instruments that the Manager deems appropriate to reflect any amendment to this
Agreement or the Certificate (i) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, guidelines or opinions
contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other United States federal or state agency, or in
any United States federal or state statute, compliance with which the Manager deems to be in the
best interests of the Company, (ii) to change the name of the Company or (iii) to cure any
ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision herein or therein contained that may be incomplete
or inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein contained;

     (c) all conveyances and other instruments that the Manager deems appropriate to reflect and
effect the dissolution and termination of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including the filing of a certificate of cancellation as provided for in Article X;

     (d) all instruments relating to Transfers of interests of Members, or the admission of
Additional Members pursuant to this Agreement;

     (e) certificates of assumed name and such other certificates and instruments as may be
necessary under the fictitious or assumed name statutes from time to time in effect in the State of
Tennessee and all other jurisdictions in which the Company conducts or plans to conduct business;
and

     (f) any other instruments determined by the Manager to be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the proper conduct of the business of the Company and that do not adversely affect
the interests of the Members.

     Such attorney-in-fact and agent shall not, however, have the right, power or authority to
amend or modify this Agreement when acting in such capacities, except to the extent authorized
herein. This power of attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent disability or incompetence
of the principal.

     The power of attorney granted herein shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable, shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy or legal disability of any and each Member
and shall extend to his, her or its successors and assigns. The power of attorney granted herein
may be exercised

18

 

by such attorney-in-fact and agent for all Members of the Company (or any of them)
by listing all (or any) of such Members required to execute any such instrument on the signature
page of such instrument, and signing such instrument at the end of such list, acting as
attorney-in-fact. Any person dealing with the Company may conclusively presume and rely upon the
fact that any instrument referred to above, executed by such attorney-in-fact and agent, is
authorized, regular and binding, without further inquiry. If required, the undersigned shall
execute and deliver to the Manager, within five Business Days after receipt of a request therefor,
such further designations, powers of attorney or other instruments as the Manager shall reasonably
deem necessary for the purposes hereof.

     12.2 Representations. Each Member represents, warrants and covenants to the Company
as follows:

     (a) Capacity. Such Member has the full capacity, power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and to subscribe for and purchase an interest as a Member of the
Company. Such Member has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Member, enforceable against such Member
in accordance with its terms.

     (b) Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of such
Member’s obligations hereunder will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default
under, any provision of any agreement or other instrument to which such Member is a party or by
which such Member or any of such Member’s assets are bound, or any judgment, decree, statute,
order, rule or regulation applicable to such Member or such Member’s assets.

     (c) Access to Information. Such Member has carefully reviewed this Agreement and the
documents associated therewith relating to the offering of interests. Such Member has been
provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and such Member has received answers thereto
satisfactory to such Member from, the Company and its representatives regarding such documents and
the terms and conditions of the offering of interests in the Company, and such Member has obtained
all additional information requested by such Member of the Company and its representatives to
verify the accuracy of all information furnished to such Member regarding such documents and the
offering of such interests.

     (d) Evaluation of and Ability to Bear Risks. Such Member has such knowledge and
experience in financial affairs that such Member is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
purchasing an interest in the Company, and such Member has not relied in connection with this
investment upon any representations, warranties or agreements other than those set forth in this
Agreement. Such Member’s financial situation is such that such Member can afford to bear the
economic risk of holding an interest in the Company for an indefinite period of time, and such
Member can afford to suffer the complete loss of such Member’s investment in such interest.

     (e) Purchase for Investment. Such Member is acquiring the interest in the Company to
be purchased by such Member pursuant to this Agreement for such Member’s own account for investment
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of all or any part of such
interest. Such Member will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer all or any part of such interest
(or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of
such interest) except in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration provisions, with any applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws,
and with the terms of this Agreement. Such Member understands that such Member must bear the
economic risk of an investment in an interest in the Company for an indefinite period of time
because, among other reasons, the offering and sale of such interests have not been registered
under the Securities Act and, therefore, such an interest cannot be sold other than through a
privately negotiated transaction unless it is subsequently registered under the

19

 

Securities Act or
an exemption from such registration is available. Such Member also understands that sales or
transfers of such interests are further restricted by the provisions of this Agreement, and may be
restricted by other applicable securities laws.

20

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

     THIS CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) between UNIFI, INC., a New York
Corporation (the “Company”), and R. Roger Berrier, Jr. (“Executive”) effective the 25th day of
July, 2006 (the “Effective Date”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, The Executive is the Vice President of Commercial Operations of the Company and is
considered as an integral part of the Company’s management; and

     WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Board”)
considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential in
protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, recognizes that
the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and
questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of
management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its Shareholders; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive desires that in the event of any Change in Control he will continue to
have the responsibility and status he has earned; and

     WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to reinforce and encourage the
continued attention and dedication of the Executive, as a member of the Company’s management, to
his assigned duties without distraction in potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the
possibility of a Change in Control of the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Executive to remain in the employment of the Company
and in consideration of the Executive agreeing to remain in the employment of the Company, subject
to the terms and conditions set out below, the Company agrees it will pay such amount, as provided
in Section 4 of this Agreement, to the Executive, if the Executive’s employment with the Company
terminates under one of the circumstances described herein following a Change in Control of the
Company, as herein defined.

     Section 1. Term: This Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent that any
obligation of the Company hereunder remains unpaid as of such time, upon the earliest of (i)
November 1, 2008 if a Change in Control of the Company has not occurred within such period; (ii)
the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company based on Death, Disability (as
defined in Section 3(b)), Retirement (as defined in Section 3(c)), Cause (as defined in Section
3(d)) or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(e)); and (iii) two
years from the date of a Change in Control of the Company if the Executive has not voluntarily
terminated his employment for Good Reason as of such time.

1

 

 

 

     Section 2. Change in Control: No compensation shall be payable under this Agreement
unless and until (a) there shall have been a Change in Control of the Company, while the Executive
is still an employee of the Company and (b) the Executive’s employment by the Company thereafter
shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 3. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change
in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:(i) there shall be consummated (x)
any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving
legal entity or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s Common Stock would be converted into
cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the
Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of
Common Stock of the surviving company immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company; or (ii) the shareholders of the Company approved
any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (iii) any person (as
such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”)), shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; or
(iv) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the entire Board of Directors shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority
thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s Shareholders, of each
new Director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office
who were Directors at the beginning of the period.

     Section 3. Termination Following Change in Control: (a) If a Change in Control of
the Company shall have occurred while the Executive is still an employee of the Company, the
Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided in Section 4 upon the subsequent
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company by the Executive voluntarily for Good
Reason or by the Company unless such termination by the Company is as a result of (i) the
Executive’s Death, (ii) the Executive’s Disability (as defined in Section (3)(b) below); (iii) the
Executive’s Retirement (as defined in Section 3(c) below); (iv) the Executive’s termination by the
Company for Cause(as defined in Section 3(d) below); or (v) the Executive’s decision to terminate
employment other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(e) below).

     (b) Disability: If, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from his duties with the Company on a
full-time basis for one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or a period of one hundred eighty
(180) days within twelve (12) consecutive months (including days before and after the change of
control) and within 30 days after written notice of termination is thereafter given by the Company
the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties, the
Company may terminate this Agreement for “Disability.”

2

 

     (c) Retirement: The term “Retirement” as used in this Agreement shall mean
termination in accordance with the Company’s retirement policy or any arrangement established with
the consent of the Executive.

     (d) Cause: The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement only, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s
employment hereunder only on the basis of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement on the part of
the Executive or malfeasance or misfeasance by said Executive in performing the duties of his
office, as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be
deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been a meeting of the
Board (after at least ten (10) days written notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the
Executive to be heard before the Board), and the delivery to the Executive of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of said
Board of Directors stating that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of
conduct set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3(d) and specifying the particulars
thereof in detail.

     (e) Good Reason: The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment for Good
Reason at any time during the term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason”
shall mean any of the following (without the Executive’s express written consent):

     (i) the assignment to the Executive by the Company of duties inconsistent with the
Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior
to a Change in Control of the Company; or a change in the Executive’s titles or offices as in
effect immediately prior to a Change in Control of the Company; or any removal of the
Executive from or any failure to reelect the Executive to any of the positions held prior to
the Change of Control, except in connection with the termination of his employment for
Disability, Retirement, or Cause, or as a result of the Executive’s Death; or by the
Executive other than for Good Reason;

     (ii) a reduction by the Company in the Executive’s base salary as in effect on the
date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of this
Agreement or the Company’s failure to increase (within 12 months of the Executive’s last
increase in base salary) the Executive’s base salary after a Change in Control of the
Company in an amount which at least equals, on a percentage basis, the average percentage
increase in base salary for all executive officers of the Company effected in the preceding
12 months;

     (iii) any failure by the Company to continue in effect any benefit plan or
arrangement (including, without limitation, the Company’s 401(k) Plan, group life insurance
plan and medical, dental, accident and disability plans) in which the Executive is
participating at the time of a Change in Control of the Company (or any

3

 

other plans providing the Executive with substantially similar benefits)
(hereinafter referred to as “Benefit Plans”), or the taking of any action by the Company
which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the
Executive’s benefits under any such Benefit Plan or deprive the Executive of any material
fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive at the time of a Change in Control of the Company;

     (iv) any failure by the Company to continue in effect any plan or arrangement to
receive securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Stock Option Plans or any
other plan or arrangement to receive and exercise stock options, restricted stock or grants
thereof) in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control of the
Company (or plans or arrangements providing him with substantially similar benefits)
(hereinafter referred to as “Securities Plans”) and the taking of any action by the Company
which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the
Executive’s benefits under any such Securities Plan;

     (v) any failure by the Company to continue in effect any bonus plan, automobile
allowance plan, or other incentive payment plan in which the Executive is participating at
the time of a Change in Control of the Company, or said Executive had participated in during
the previous calendar year;

     (vi) a relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location outside of
North Carolina, or the Executive’s relocation to any place other than the location at which
the Executive performed the Executive’s duties prior to a Change in Control of the Company,
except for required travel by the Executive on the Company’s business to an extent
substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations at the time of a
Change in Control of the Company;

     (vii) any failure by the Company to provide the Executive with the number of paid
vacation days to which the Executive is entitled at the time of a Change in Control of the
Company;

     (viii) any breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;

     (ix) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by
any successor or assign of the Company; or

     (x) any purported termination of the Executive’s employment which is not made pursuant
to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 3(f).

     (f) Notice of Termination: Any termination by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b),
3(c) or 3(d) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate those specific termination provisions in this Agreement relied upon and which sets
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination
of

4

 

the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no
such purported termination by the Company shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.

     (g) Date of Termination: “Date of Termination” shall mean (a) if
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability, 30 days after
Notice of Termination is given to the Executive (provided that the Executive shall not
have returned to the performance of the Executive’s duties on a full-time basis during
such 30 day period) or (b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; provided
that if within 30 days after any Notice of Termination is given to the Executive by
the Company the Executive notifies the Company that a dispute exists concerning the
termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date the dispute is finally
determined, whether by mutual agreement by the parties or otherwise or (c) the date
the Executive notifies the Company in writing that he is terminating his employment
and setting forth the Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(e)).

     Section 4. Severance Compensation upon Termination of Employment. If the Company
shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) or if
the Executive shall voluntarily terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall
pay to the Executive as severance pay an amount equal to 2.99 times the annualized aggregate annual
compensation paid to the Executive by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the five (5)
calendar years (or the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company if the Executive has
been employed with the Company for less than five calendar years) preceding the Change in Control
of the Company in twenty-four equal monthly installments beginning on the regular payroll date for
salaried employees of the Company in the month of the Executive’s Date of Termination; provided,
however, that if the severance payment under this Section 4, either alone or together with other
payments which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a
“parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”)), such severance payment shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no
portion of the severance payment under this Section 4 being subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in the lump sum severance payment
under this Section 4 pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall be made by the Company’s Independent
Certified Public Accountants, and their decision shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
the Executive.

     Section 5. No Obligation to Mitigate Damages; No Effect on Other Contractual Rights:
(a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any
compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date
of Termination, or otherwise.

5

 

     (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not
reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s rights under any
employment agreement or other contract, plan or employment arrangement with the Company.

     (c) The Company shall, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment other than by
Death, Disability (as defined in Section 3(b)), Retirement (as defined in Section 3(c)) or Cause
(as defined in Section 3(d)), or the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive
without Good Reason, maintain in full force and effect, for the Executive’s continued benefit until
the earlier of (a) two years after the Date of Termination or (b) Executive’s commencement of full
time employment with a new employer, all life insurance, medical, health and accident, and
disability plans, programs or arrangements in which he was entitled to participate immediately
prior to the Date of Termination, provided that his continued participation is possible under the
general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event the Executive is ineligible
under the terms of such plans or programs to continue to be so covered, the Company shall provide
substantially equivalent coverage through other sources.

     (d) The Executive’s account and rights in and under any retirement benefit or incentive
plans, shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the respective plans as they existed at
the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment.

     Section 6. Successor to the Company: (a) The Company will require any successor or
assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement expressly, absolutely
and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment
had taken place. Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of
any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assign to its
business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this
Section 6 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
operation of law. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Executive is employed by
any corporation a majority of the voting securities of which is then owned by the Company,
“Company” as used in Sections 3, 4 and 10 hereof shall in addition include such employer. In such
event, the Company agrees that it shall pay or shall cause such employer to pay any amounts owed to
the Executive pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

     (b) If the Executive should die while any amounts are still payable to him hereunder, all
such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the Executive’s legatee, or other designee or, if there be no

6

 

such designee, to the
Executive’s estate. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive’s legal representatives or attorney-in-fact, executors or administrators, heirs,
distributees and legatees.

     Section 7. Notice: For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

shall be subject to all requirements of the law with regard to withholding (including FICA tax),

	(A)	 	During the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after his
Date of Termination, he will not disclose or make available to any person or other
entity any trade secrets, Confidential Information, or “know-how” relating to the
Company’s, its affiliates’ and subsidiaries’, businesses without written authority
from the Board, unless he is compelled to disclose it by judicial process.
	 
	 	 	Confidential Information - shall mean all information about the Company, its
affiliates or subsidiaries, or relating to any of their products, services or any
phase of their operations, not generally known to their Competitors or which is not
public information, which Executive knows or acquired knowledge of during the term
of his employment with the Company.
	 
	(B)	 	Documents — under no circumstances shall Executive remove from the Company’
offices any of the Company’s books, records, documents, files, computer discs or

in writing by the Board.

Section 11. Non-Compete. Executive agrees that during the period of employment and
for a period of two (2) years after his Date of Termination he will not, directly or
indirectly:

	(A)	 	Seek employment or consulting arrangements with or offer advice,
suggestions, or input to any Competitor of the Company; or
	 
	(B)	 	Own any interest in, other than ownership of less than two percent (2%) of any

by, render advisory services to, act as a consultant to, participate in, assess or
be connected with any Competitor of the Company, unless approved by the Board; or

(C) Solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any past or current customer of the

competitive with those provided by the Company; or

(D) Initiate, encourage or solicit for employment any person who is now employed or
during the term of this Agreement becomes employed by the Company (or whose
activities or services are dedicated to the Company).

8

 

Competitor - shall mean any individual, partnership, joint venture, firm,
corporation, limited liability company, business trust, association, trust or other
enterprise (whether or not incorporated) engaged in the business of developing,
producing, manufacturing, selling and/or distributing a product or providing
services similar to any product produced or service provided by the Company, its
affiliates or subsidiaries.

     Section 12. Remedy for violation of Sections 10 and 11. The Executive
acknowledges that the Company has no adequate remedy at law and will be irreparably harmed if the
Executive breaches or threatens to breach the provisions of Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement,
and therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach
or threatened breach of such Sections and that the Company shall be entitled to specific
performance of the terms of such Sections in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy it may
have. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any
other remedies at law or in equity that it may have or any other rights that it may have under any
other agreement.

     13. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy between the Company and the
Executive, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this Agreement, or
otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, and judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any
arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator who shall be selected by the mutual agreement
of the Company and the Executive, unless the parties are unable to agree to an arbitrator, in which
case, the arbitrator will be selected under the procedures of the AAA. The arbitrator shall have
the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or
grant, including, without limitation, the issuance of an injunction. However, either party may,
without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction over
such dispute relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise
resolved. Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an
award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may
disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company and the Executive. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that this
Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding any choice of law
provision included in this Agreement, the United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitration proceeding shall be
conducted in Greensboro, North Carolina or such other location to which the parties may agree. The
Company shall pay the costs of any arbitrator appointed hereunder.
