 1. Guaranty. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and to induce Bank of
America, N.A. (“Bank”) to make loans or advances or to extend credit or other financial accommodations or benefits, with or without security, to or for the account of Borrower, the undersigned “Guarantor”, if more than one, then
each of them jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Bank the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of Borrower to Bank. This
Guaranty is continuing and unlimited as to the amount, and is cumulative to and does not supersede any other guaranties. 
  
 Guarantor further unconditionally guarantees the faithful, prompt and complete compliance by Borrower with all Obligations (as hereinafter defined). The undertakings of
Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Liabilities and Obligations of Borrower and a separate action or actions for payment, damages or performance may be brought or prosecuted against Guarantor, whether or not an action is brought against
Borrower or to realize upon the security for the Liabilities and/or Obligations, whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions, and whether or not notice is given or demand is made upon Borrower. 
  
 Bank shall not be required to proceed first against Borrower, or any other person, or entity,
whether primarily or secondarily liable, or against any collateral held by it, before resorting to Guarantor for payment, and Guarantor shall not be entitled to assert as a defense to the enforceability of the Guaranty any defense of Borrower with
respect to any Liabilities or Obligations. 
  
 2. Paragraph Headings, Governing
Law and Binding Effect. Guarantor agrees that the paragraph headings in this Guaranty are for convenience only and that they will not limit any of the provisions of this Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina and applicable United States federal law. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall be deemed to have been made in the State of North Carolina at Bank’s address
indicated above, and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of North Carolina, or the United States courts located within the State of North Carolina, and is performable in the State of North Carolina. This
Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor, his, their or its executors, administrators, successors or assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors, indorsees or assigns. Anyone executing this Guaranty shall be bound by the terms hereof
without regard to execution by anyone else.

assignment or otherwise, including but not limited to all extensions or renewals thereof, and all sums payable under or by virtue thereof, including without limitation, all amounts of principal and interest, all expenses (including reasonable
attorney’s fees and cost of collection) incurred in the collection thereof or the enforcement of rights thereunder (including without limitation, any liability arising from failure to comply with state or federal laws, rules and regulations
concerning the control of hazardous waste or substances at or with respect to any real estate securing any loan guaranteed hereby), whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, including all obligations of the Borrower under any

may be oral or in writing, including, without limitation, any master agreement relating to or governing any or all of the foregoing and any related schedule or confirmation, each as amended from time to time. 
  
 4. Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty,
notice of any Liabilities or Obligations to which it may apply, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any Liabilities, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of any suit or the
taking of other action by Bank against Borrower, Guarantor or any other person, any applicable statute of limitations and any other notice to any party liable on any Loan Document (including Guarantor). 
  
 Each Guarantor also hereby waives, until payment in full of the Liabilities, any claim, right
or remedy which such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by any other Guarantor hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Bank against Borrower or against any security which Bank now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in
equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. 
  
 Guarantor
also waives the benefits of any provision of law requiring that Bank exhaust any right or remedy, or take any action, against Borrower, any Guarantor, any other person and/or property including but not limited to the provisions of N.C. Gen. Stat.
§26-7 through § 26-9, inclusive, as amended, or otherwise. 
  
 Bank may
at any time and from time to time (whether before or after revocation or termination of this Guaranty) without notice to Guarantor (except as required by law), without incurring responsibility to Guarantor, without impairing, releasing or otherwise
affecting the Obligations of Guarantor, in whole or in part, and without the indorsement or execution by Guarantor of any additional consent, waiver or guaranty: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of or
renew, or change any interest rate or alter any Liability or Obligation or installment thereof, or any security therefor; (b) loan additional monies or extend additional credit to Borrower, with or without security, thereby creating new Liabilities
or Obligations the payment or performance of which shall be guaranteed hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Liabilities and Obligations as so changed, extended, surrendered, realized upon or otherwise altered; (c) sell,
exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Liabilities or Obligations and any offset there against; (d) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against Borrower or others (including Guarantor) or act or refrain from acting in any other manner; (e) settle or compromise any Liability or Obligation or any security therefor and subordinate the payment of all or any part
thereof to the payment of any Liability or Obligation of any other parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities or Obligations; (f) release or compromise any Liability of Guarantor hereunder or any Liability or Obligation of any
other parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities or Obligations; or (g) apply any sums from any sources to any Liability without regard to any Liabilities remaining unpaid. 
  
 5. Subordination. Upon demand of Bank, Guarantor agrees that it will not demand, take
or receive from Borrower, by set-off or in any other manner, payment of any debt, now and at any time or times hereafter owing by Borrower to Guarantor unless and until all the Liabilities and Obligations shall have been fully paid and performed,
and any security interest, liens or encumbrances which Guarantor now has and from time to time hereafter may have upon any of the assets of Borrower shall be made subordinate, junior and inferior and postponed in priority, operation and effect to
any security interest of Bank in such assets. 
  
 6. Waivers by Bank. No
delay on the part of Bank in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, and no partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Guaranty,
shall be deemed to be made by Bank unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank; and each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Bank or
the obligations of Guarantor to Bank in any other respect at any other time. 
  
 7. Termination. This Guaranty shall be binding on each Guarantor until written notice of revocation signed by such Guarantor or written notice of the death of such Guarantor shall have been received by Bank, notwithstanding change in
name, location, composition or structure of, or the dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel, owners or partners of Borrower, or any one or more of Guarantors. No notice of revocation or termination hereof shall affect
in any manner rights arising under this Guaranty with respect to Liabilities or Obligations that shall have been committed, created, contracted, assumed or incurred prior to receipt of such written notice pursuant to any agreement entered into by
Bank prior to receipt of such notice. The sole effect of such notice of revocation or termination hereof shall be to exclude from this Guaranty, Liabilities or Obligations thereafter arising that are unconnected with Liabilities or Obligations
theretofore arising or transactions entered into theretofore. 
  
 In the event of
the death of a Guarantor, the liability of the estate of the deceased Guarantor shall continue in full force and effect as to (i) the Liabilities existing at the date of death, and any renewals or extensions thereof, and (ii) loans or advances made
to or for the account of Borrower after the date of death of the deceased Guarantor pursuant to a commitment made by Bank to Borrower prior to the date of such death. As to all surviving Guarantors, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and
effect after the death of a Guarantor, not only as to the Liabilities existing at that time, but also as to Liabilities thereafter incurred by Borrower to Bank. 
  

8. Partial Invalidity and/or Enforceability of Guaranty. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of any Loan Document as it may apply to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as
it may apply to other persons or circumstances. 
  
 In the event Bank is required
to relinquish or return the payments, the collateral or the proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which had been previously applied to or retained for application against any Liability, by reason of a proceeding arising under the Bankruptcy Code,
or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall automatically continue to be effective notwithstanding any previous cancellation or release effected by Bank. 
  
 9. Change of Status. Guarantor will not become a party to a merger or consolidation with any other company, except where Guarantor is the surviving corporation or
entity, and all covenants under this Guaranty are assumed by the surviving entity. Further, Guarantor may not change its legal structure, without the written consent of Bank and all covenants under this Guaranty are assumed by the new or surviving
entity. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall be binding, legal and enforceable against Guarantor in the event Borrower changes its name, status or type of entity. 
  

 2 

 10. Financial and Other Information. Guarantor agrees to furnish to Bank any and all financial information and any
other information regarding Guarantor and/or collateral requested in writing by Bank within ten (10) days of the date of the request. Guarantor has made an independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower prior to
entering into this Guaranty, and Guarantor will continue to make such investigation; and in entering into this Guaranty Guarantor has not relied upon any representation of Bank as to the financial condition, operation or creditworthiness of
Borrower. Guarantor further agrees that Bank shall have no duty or responsibility now or hereafter to make any investigation or appraisal of Borrower on behalf of Guarantor or to provide Guarantor with any credit or other information which may come
to its attention now or hereafter. 
  
 11. Notices. Notice shall be deemed
reasonable if mailed postage prepaid at least five (5) days before the related action to the address of Guarantor or Bank, at their respective addresses indicated at the beginning of this Guaranty, or to such other address as any party may designate
by written notice to the other party. Each notice, request and demand shall be deemed given or made, if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, first class postage prepaid, or if sent by
any other means, upon delivery. 
  
 12. Guarantor Duties. Guarantor shall
upon notice or demand by Bank promptly and with due diligence pay all Liabilities and perform and satisfy all Obligations for the benefit of Bank in the event of (a) the occurrence of any default under any Loan Documents; (b) the failure of any
Borrower or Guarantor to perform any obligation or pay any liability or indebtedness of any Borrower or Guarantor to Bank, or to any affiliate of Bank, whether under any Note, Guaranty, or any other agreement, now or hereafter existing, as and when
due (whether upon demand, at maturity or by acceleration); (c) the failure of any Borrower or Guarantor to pay or perform any other liability, obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower or Guarantor to any other party; (d) the death of any Borrower

 13. Remedies.
Upon any failure of Guarantor to fulfill its obligations under Section 12, Bank shall have all of the remedies of a creditor and, to the extent applicable, of a secured party, under all applicable law, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Bank may, at its option and without notice or demand: (a) declare any Liability due and payable at once; (b) take possession of any collateral pledged by Guarantor wherever located, and sell, resell, assign, transfer and deliver all or
any part of said collateral of Guarantor at any public or private sale or otherwise dispose of any or all of the collateral in its then condition, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Bank may impose reasonable
conditions upon any such sale, and Bank, unless prohibited by law the provisions of which cannot be waived, may purchase all or any part of said collateral to be sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, rights or redemption and equities
of Guarantor whatsoever; Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the sale of any collateral through any nationally recognized broker-dealer, investment banker or any other method common in the securities industry shall be deemed a commercially
reasonable sale under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other equivalent statute or federal law, and expressly waives notice thereof except as provided herein; and (c) set-off against any or all Liabilities of Guarantor all money owed by Bank or
any of its agents or affiliates in any capacity (other than in its capacity as a fiduciary) to Guarantor whether or not due, and if exercised by Bank, Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against any
such money immediately upon the occurrence of such default although made or entered on the books subsequent thereto. 
  
 Bank shall have a properly perfected security interest in all of Guarantor’s funds on deposit with Bank to secure the balance of any Liabilities and/or Obligations
that Guarantor may now or in the future owe Bank. Bank is granted a contractual right of set-off and will not be liable for dishonoring checks or withdrawals where the exercise of Bank’s contractual right of set-off or security interest results
in insufficient funds in Guarantor’s account. As authorized by law, Guarantor grants to Bank this contractual right of set-off and security interest in all property of Guarantor now or at anytime hereafter in the possession of Bank, including
but not limited to any joint account, special account, account by the entireties, tenancy in common, and all dividends and distributions now or hereafter in the possession or control of Bank (excluding any account held by Bank in a fiduciary
cpacity). 
  
 14. Attorney Fees, Cost and Expenses. Guarantor shall pay all
costs of collection and reasonable attorney’s fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with any suit, mediation or arbitration proceeding, out of Court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise,
incurred or paid by Bank in enforcing the payment of any Liability or defending this agreement. 
  
 15. Intentionally deleted. 
  
 16.
Preservation of Property. Bank shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in any property pledged as collateral to Bank to secure Borrower and/or Guarantor’s Liabilities and Obligations as against prior parties
who may be liable in connection therewith, and Borrower and Guarantor hereby agree to take any such steps. Bank, nevertheless, at any time, may (a) take any action it deems appropriate for the care or preservation of such property or of any rights
of Borrower and/or Guarantor or Bank therein; (b) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time due, payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any property pledged as collateral, to Bank to secure Borrower and/or
Guarantor’s Liabilities to Bank; (c) compromise and settle with any person liable on such property; or (d) extend the time of payment or otherwise change the terms of the Loan Documents as to any party liable on the Loan Documents, all without
notice to, without incurring responsibility to, and without affecting any of the Obligations or Liabilities of Guarantor.

whether or not the Collateral has been released or the security interest terminated. In the event the Collateral has been released or the security interest terminated, the fair market value of the Collateral shall be determined, at Bank’s
option, as of the date the Collateral was released, the security interest terminated, or said amounts were recovered.

relating primarily to the environment or any materials defined as hazardous materials or substances under any local, state or federal environmental laws, rules or regulations, and petroleum, petroleum products, oil and asbestos (“Hazardous

and enforce the security interest created by this Agreement, collect the Obligations, and preserve, defend, enforce and collect the Collateral, including but not limited to taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, rent, storage costs and
expenses of sales, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other fees or expenses for which Debtor is obligated to reimburse Bank in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Whether the Collateral is or is not in Bank’s
possession, and without any obligation to do so and without waiving Debtor’s default for failure to make any such payment, Bank at its option may pay any such costs and expenses, discharge encumbrances on the Collateral, and pay for insurance
of the Collateral, and such payments shall be a part of the Obligations and bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank on demand for any costs so incurred.

 G. Parties Liable on the Collateral. Debtor shall preserve the
liability of all obligors on any Collateral, shall preserve the priority of all security therefor, and shall deliver to Bank the original certificates of title on all motor vehicles or other titled vehicles constituting the Collateral. Bank shall
have no duty to preserve such liability or security, but may do so at the expense of Debtor, without waiving Debtor’s default. 
  
 H. Records of the Collateral. Debtor at all times shall maintain accurate books and records covering the Collateral. Debtor immediately will mark
all books and records with an entry showing the absolute assignment of all Collateral to Bank, and Bank is hereby given the right to audit the books and records of Debtor relating to the Collateral at any time and from time to time. 
  
 I. Disposition of the Collateral. If disposition of any Collateral
gives rise to an account, chattel paper or instrument, Debtor immediately shall notify Bank, and upon request of Bank shall assign or indorse the same to Bank. No Collateral may be sold, leased, manufactured, processed or otherwise disposed of by
Debtor in any manner without the prior written consent of Bank, except the Collateral sold, leased, manufactured, processed or consumed in the ordinary course of business. 
  
 J. Accounts. Each account held as Collateral will represent the valid and legally enforceable obligation of third
parties and shall not be evidenced by any instrument or chattel paper. 
  
 K. Notice/Location of the Collateral. Debtor shall give Bank written notice of each office of Debtor in which records of Debtor pertaining to accounts held as Collateral are kept, and each location at which the Collateral is or will
be kept, and of any change of any such location. If no such notice is given, all records of Debtor pertaining to the Collateral and all Collateral of Debtor are and shall be kept at the address marked by Debtor above. 
  
 L. Change of Name/Status/State of Organization and Notice of Changes.
Without the written consent of Bank, Debtor shall not change its name, change its corporate status, change its state of organization, use any trade name or engage in any business not reasonably related to its business as presently conducted. Debtor
shall notify Bank immediately of (i) any material change in the Collateral, (ii) a change in Debtor’s state of organization, (iii) a change in any matter warranted or represented by Debtor in this Agreement, and (iv) the occurrence of an Event
of Default (hereinafter defined). 
  
 M. Use and Removal of the
Collateral. Debtor shall not use the Collateral illegally. Debtor shall not, unless previously indicated as a fixture, permit the Collateral to be affixed to real or personal property without the prior written consent of Bank. Debtor shall not
permit any of the Collateral to be removed from the locations specified herein without the prior written consent of Bank, except for the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business. 
  
 N. Possession of the Collateral. Debtor shall deliver all investment
securities and other instruments, documents and chattel paper which are part of the Collateral and in Debtor’s possession to Bank immediately, or if hereafter acquired, immediately following acquisition, appropriately indorsed to Bank’s
order, or with appropriate, duly executed powers. Debtor waives presentment, notice of acceleration, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices with respect thereto. 
  
 O. Consumer Credit. If any Collateral or proceeds includes obligations of third parties to Debtor, the transactions
giving rise to the Collateral shall conform in all respects to the applicable state or federal law including but not limited to consumer credit law. Debtor shall hold harmless and indemnify Bank against any cost, loss or expense arising from
Debtor’s breach of this covenant. 
  
 P. Power of
Attorney. Debtor appoints Bank and any officer thereof as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact with full power in Debtor’s name and behalf to do every act which Debtor is obligated to do or may be required to do hereunder; however, nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Bank to take any action hereunder nor shall Bank be liable to Debtor for failure to take any action hereunder. This appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and shall not be
terminable as long as the Obligation is outstanding and shall not terminate on the bankruptcy or insolvency of Debtor. 
  
 Q. Waivers by Debtor. Debtor waives notice of the creation, advance, increase, existence, extension or renewal of, and of any indulgence with
respect to, the Obligations; waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, and protest; waives notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time, notice of any change in financial condition of any other person liable for any of the
Obligations or any part thereof, notice of any Event of Default, and all other notices respecting the Obligations; and agrees that maturity of the Obligations and any part thereof may be accelerated, extended or renewed one or more times by Bank in
its discretion, without notice to Debtor. Debtor waives any right to require that any action be brought against any other person or to require that resort be had to any other security or to any balance of any deposit account. Debtor further waives
any right of subrogation or to enforce any right of action against any other obligor with respect to the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full. 
  
 R. Other Parties and Other Collateral. No renewal or extension of or any other indulgence with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, no
release of any security, no release of any other person (including any maker, indorser, guarantor or surety) liable on any of the Obligations, no delay in enforcement of payment, and no delay or omission or lack of diligence or care in exercising
any right or power with respect to the Obligations or any security therefor or guaranty thereof or under this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect the rights of Bank under the law, hereunder, or under any other agreement pertaining to the
Collateral. Bank need not file suit or assert a claim for personal judgment against any person for any part of the Obligations or seek to realize upon any other security for the Obligations, before foreclosing or otherwise realizing upon the
Collateral. Debtor waives any right to the benefit of or to require or control application of any other security or proceeds thereof, and agrees that Bank shall have no duty or obligation to Debtor to apply to the Obligations any such other security
or proceeds thereof. 
  
 S. Collection and Segregation of
Accounts and Right to Notify. Bank hereby authorizes Debtor to collect the Collateral, subject to the direction and control of Bank, but Bank may, without cause or notice, curtail or terminate said authority at any time. Upon notice by Bank,
whether oral or in writing, to Debtor, Debtor shall forthwith upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash, and other remittances in payment of or on account of the Collateral, deposit the same in one or more special accounts maintained with Bank over
which Bank alone shall have the power of withdrawal. The remittance of the proceeds of such Collateral shall not, however, constitute payment or liquidation of such Collateral until Bank shall receive good funds for such proceeds. Funds placed in
such special accounts shall be held by Bank as security for all Obligations. These proceeds shall be deposited in precisely the form received, except for the indorsement of Debtor where necessary to permit collection of items, which indorsement
Debtor agrees to make, and which indorsement Bank is also hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact, to make on behalf of Debtor. In the event Bank has notified Debtor to make deposits to a special account, pending such deposit, Debtor agrees that it
will not commingle any such checks, drafts, cash or other remittances with any funds or other property of Debtor, but will hold them separate and apart therefrom, and upon an express trust for Bank until deposit thereof is made in the special
account. Bank will, from time to time, apply the whole or any part of the Collateral funds on deposit in this special account against such Obligations as Bank may in its sole discretion elect. At the sole election of Bank, any portion of said funds
on deposit in the special account which Bank shall elect not to apply to the Obligations, may be paid over by Bank to Debtor. At any time, whether Debtor is or is 

  

 3 

 
not in default hereunder, Bank may notify persons obligated on any Collateral to make payments directly to Bank and Bank may take control of all proceeds of
any Collateral. Until Bank elects to exercise such rights, Debtor, as agent of Bank, shall collect and enforce all payments owed on the Collateral. 
  
 T. Compliance with State and Federal Laws. Debtor will maintain its existence, good standing and qualification to do business, where required, and
comply with all laws, regulations and governmental requirements, including without limitation, environmental laws applicable to it or any of its property, business operations and transactions, except where failure to be in compliance would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 U. Environmental Covenants. Debtor shall immediately advise Bank in writing of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, remedial, removal, or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened pursuant to any
applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials affecting Debtor’s business operations; and (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Debtor relating to damages,
contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials. Debtor shall immediately notify Bank of any remedial action taken by Debtor with respect to Debtor’s business operations. Debtor will not use or
permit any other party to use any Hazardous Materials at any of Debtor’s places of business or at any other property owned by Debtor except such materials as are incidental to Debtor’s normal course of business, maintenance and repairs and
which are handled in material compliance with all applicable material environmental laws. Debtor agrees to permit Bank, its agents, contractors and employees to enter and inspect any of Debtor’s places of business or any other property of
Debtor at any reasonable times upon three (3) days’ prior notice for the purposes of conducting an environmental investigation and audit (including taking physical samples) to insure that Debtor is complying with this covenant and Debtor shall
reimburse Bank on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and audit. Debtor shall provide Bank, its agents, contractors, employees and representatives with access to and copies of any and all data and documents relating to or
dealing with any Hazardous Materials used, generated, manufactured, stored or disposed of by Debtor’s business operations within five (5) days of the request therefor. 
  
 6. Rights and Powers of Bank. 
  
 A. General. Bank, before or after default, without liability to Debtor may: obtain from any person information regarding Debtor or Debtor’s
business, which information any such person also may furnish without liability to Debtor; require Debtor to give possession or control of any Collateral to Bank; indorse as Debtor’s agent any instruments, documents or chattel paper in the
Collateral or representing proceeds of the Collateral; contact account debtors directly to verify information furnished by Debtor; take control of proceeds, including stock received as dividends or by reason of stock splits; release the Collateral
in its possession to any person, temporarily or otherwise; require additional Collateral; reject as unsatisfactory any property hereafter offered by Debtor as Collateral; set standards from time to time to govern what may be used as after acquired
Collateral; designate, from time to time, a certain percent of the Collateral as the loan value and require Debtor to maintain the Obligations at or below such figure; take control of funds generated by the Collateral, such as cash dividends,
interest and proceeds or refunds from insurance, and use same to reduce any part of the Obligations and exercise all other rights which an owner of such Collateral may exercise, except the right to vote or dispose of the Collateral before an Event
of Default; at any time transfer any of the Collateral or evidence thereof into its own name or that of its nominee; and demand, collect, convert, redeem, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral, in
its own name or in the name of Debtor, as Bank may determine. Bank shall not be liable for failure to collect any account or instruments, or for any act or omission on the part of Bank, its officers, agents or employees, except for its or their own
willful misconduct or gross negligence. The foregoing rights and powers of Bank will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon, any rights and powers of Bank given by law, elsewhere in this Agreement, or otherwise. If Debtor fails to maintain any
required insurance, to the extent permitted by applicable law Bank may (but is not obligated to) purchase single interest insurance coverage for the Collateral which insurance may at Bank’s option (i) protect only Bank and not provide any
remuneration or protection for Debtor directly and (ii) provide coverage only after the Obligations have been declared due as herein provided. The premiums for any such insurance purchased by Bank shall be a part of the Obligations and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate. 
  
 B. Convertible
Collateral. Bank may present for conversion any Collateral which is convertible into any other instrument or investment security or a combination thereof with cash, but Bank shall not have any duty to present for conversion any Collateral unless
it shall have received from Debtor detailed written instructions to that effect at a time reasonably far in advance of the final conversion date to make such conversion possible. 
  
 7. Default. 
  
 A. Event of Default. The occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default”
hereunder. 
  
 B. Rights and Remedies. If any Event of
Default shall occur, then, in each and every such case, Bank may, without presentment, demand, or protest; notice of default, dishonor, demand, non-payment, or protest; notice of intent to accelerate all or any part of the Obligations; notice of
acceleration of all or any part of the Obligations; or notice of any other kind, all of which Debtor hereby expressly waives, (except for any notice required under this Agreement applicable law); at any time thereafter exercise and/or enforce any of
the following rights and remedies at Bank’s option: 
  
 i.
Possession and Collection of the Collateral. At its option: (a) take possession or control of, store, lease, operate, manage, sell, or instruct any agent or broker to sell or otherwise dispose of, all or any part of the Collateral; (b) notify
all parties under any account or contract right forming all or any part of the Collateral to make any payments otherwise due to Debtor directly to Bank; (c) in Bank’s own name, or in the name of Debtor, demand, collect, receive, sue for, and
give receipts and releases for, any and all amounts due under such accounts and contract rights; (d) indorse as the agent of Debtor any check, note, chattel paper, document, or instrument forming all or any part of the Collateral; (e) make formal
application for transfer to Bank (or to any assignee of Bank or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral) of all of Debtor’s permits, licenses, approvals, agreements, and the like relating to the Collateral or to Debtor’s business; (f)
take any other action which Bank deems necessary or desirable to protect and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral; and (g) in addition to the foregoing, and not in substitution therefor, exercise any one or more of the rights and
remedies exercisable by Bank under any other provision of this Agreement or as provided by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as the “UCC”)).
In taking possession of the Collateral Bank may enter Debtor’s premises and otherwise proceed without legal process, if this can be done without breach of the peace. Debtor shall, upon Bank’s demand, promptly make the Collateral or other
security available to Bank at a place designated by Bank, which place shall be reasonably convenient to both parties. 
  
 Bank shall not be liable for, nor be prejudiced by, any loss, depreciation or other damage to the Collateral, unless caused by Bank’s willful and malicious act. Bank
shall have no duty to take any action to preserve or collect the Collateral. 
  
 ii. Receiver. Obtain the appointment of a receiver for all or any of the Collateral, Debtor hereby consenting to the appointment of such a receiver and agreeing not to oppose any such appointment. 

 
 iii. Right of Set Off. Without notice or demand to Debtor, set off
and apply against any and all of the Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness, at any time held or owing by Bank or any of Bank’s agents or affiliates to or for the
credit of the account of Debtor or any guarantor or indorser of Debtor’s Obligations. 
  
 Bank shall be entitled to immediate possession of all books and records evidencing any Collateral or pertaining to chattel paper covered by this Agreement and it or its representatives shall have the authority to
enter upon any premises upon which any of the same, or any Collateral, may be situated and remove the same therefrom without liability. Bank may surrender any insurance policies in the Collateral and receive the unearned premium thereon. Debtor
shall be entitled to any surplus and shall be liable to Bank for any deficiency. The proceeds of any disposition after default available to satisfy the Obligations shall be applied to the Obligations in such order and in such manner as Bank in its
discretion shall decide. 
  
 Debtor specifically understands and agrees that any
sale by Bank of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be effected by Bank at times and in manners which could result in the proceeds of such sale as being significantly and materially less than might have been
received if such sale had occurred at different times or in different manners, and Debtor hereby releases Bank and its officers and representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or
manner of any such sale. 
  

 4 

 
If, in the opinion of Bank, there is any question that a public sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law, Bank
may offer and sell such Collateral in a transaction exempt from registration under federal securities law, and any such sale made in good faith by Bank shall be deemed “commercially reasonable”. 
  
 8. General. 
  
 A. Parties Bound. Bank’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. In
the event of any assignment or transfer by Bank of any of the Obligations or the Collateral, Bank thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so assigned or transferred, but Bank shall retain all
rights and powers hereby given with respect to any of the Obligations or the Collateral not so assigned or transferred. 
  
 B. Waiver. No delay of Bank in exercising any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by Bank of any right hereunder or of any default by Debtor shall be binding upon Bank unless in writing, and no failure by Bank to
exercise any power or right hereunder or waiver of any default by Debtor shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or power or of any further default. Each right, power and remedy of Bank as provided for herein or in
any document related hereto, or which shall now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of
the exercise by Bank of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Bank of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies. 
  
 C. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

  
 D. Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise,
definitions in the UCC apply to words and phrases in this Agreement; if UCC definitions conflict, Article 9 definitions apply. 
  
 E. Notices. Notice shall be deemed reasonable if mailed postage prepaid at least five (5) days before the related action (or if the UCC elsewhere
specifies a longer period, such longer period) to the address of Debtor given above, or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to the other party. Each notice, request and demand shall be deemed given or made, if sent by
mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, first class postage prepaid, or if sent by any other means, upon delivery. 
  
 F. Modifications. No provision hereof shall be modified or limited except by a written agreement expressly referring
hereto and to the provisions so modified or limited and signed by Debtor and Bank. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be modified or limited by course of conduct or usage of trade. 
  
 G. Applicable Law and Partial Invalidity. This Agreement has been
delivered in the State of North Carolina and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of that State. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

  
 H. Financing Statement. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral shall be sufficient as a financing statement. 
  
 I. ARBITRATION. ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INSTRUMENT, AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS, AGREEMENTS OR DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED ON OR ARISING FROM AN ALLEGED TORT, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT (OR IF NOT APPLICABLE, THE APPLICABLE STATE LAW), THE RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR THE ARBITRATION OF COMMERCIAL DISPUTES OF J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE OR ANY SUCCESSOR THEREOF (“J.A.M.S.”), AND THE “SPECIAL RULES”
SET FORTH BELOW. IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY, THE SPECIAL RULES SHALL CONTROL. JUDGMENT UPON ANY ARBITRATION AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BRING AN ACTION, INCLUDING A SUMMARY OR
EXPEDITED PROCEEDING, TO COMPEL ARBITRATION OF ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM TO WHICH THIS AGREEMENT APPLIES IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER SUCH ACTION. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION ONLY, THE TERM “PARTIES” SHALL
