Debtor shall preserve the liability of all obligors on any Collateral, shall preserve the priority of all security therefor, and shall deliver to Secured Party the original certificates of title on all motor vehicles or other titled vehicles constituting the Collateral (to the extent not delivered to Bank). Secured Party 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 Secured Party (subject to the prior assignment to Bank), and Secured Party 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.

Debtor waives presentment, notice of acceleration, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices with respect thereto.

P. Power of Attorney. Debtor appoints Secured Party 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 Secured Party to take any action hereunder nor shall Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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 Secured Party under the law, hereunder, or under any other agreement pertaining to the Collateral. Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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. Secured Party hereby authorizes Debtor to collect the Collateral, subject to the direction and control of Secured Party, but Secured Party may, without cause or notice, curtail or terminate said authority at any time. Upon

notice by Secured Party, 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 a financial institution acceptable to Secured Party over which Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall receive good funds for such proceeds. Funds placed in such special accounts shall be held 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 Secured Party is also hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact, to make on behalf of Debtor. In the event Secured Party 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 other funds or property of Debtor, but will hold them separate and apart therefrom, and upon an express trust for Secured Party until deposit thereof is made in the special account. Secured Party 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 Secured Party may in its sole discretion elect. At the sole election of Secured Party, any portion of said funds on deposit in the special account which Secured Party shall elect not to apply to the Obligations may be paid over by Secured Party to Debtor. At any time, whether Debtor is or is not in default hereunder, Secured Party may notify persons obligated on any Collateral to make payments directly to Secured Party and Secured Party may take control of all proceeds of any Collateral. Until Secured Party elects to exercise such rights, Debtor, as agent of Secured Party, 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 comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

U. Environmental Covenants. Debtor shall immediately advise Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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 compliance with all applicable environmental laws. Debtor agrees to permit Secured Party, 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 Secured Party on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and audit. Debtor shall provide Secured Party, 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 Secured Party.

A. General. Secured Party, 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 Secured Party; 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 Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect any account or instruments, or for any act or omission on the part of Secured Party, its officers, agents or employees, except for its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The foregoing rights and powers of Secured Party will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon, any rights and powers of Secured Party given by law, elsewhere in this Agreement, or otherwise. If Debtor fails to maintain any required insurance, to the extent permitted by applicable law Secured Party may (but is not obligated to) purchase single interest insurance coverage for the Collateral which insurance may at Secured Party’s option (i) protect only Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall be a part of the Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

B. Convertible Collateral. Secured Party may present for conversion any Collateral which is convertible into any other instrument or investment security or a combination thereof with cash, but Secured Party 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. An event of default (“Event of Default”) shall occur if: (i) there is a loss, theft, damage or destruction of any material portion of the Collateral for which there is no insurance coverage or for which, in the opinion of Secured Party, there is insufficient insurance coverage; (ii) Debtor or any other obligor on all or part of the Obligation shall fail to timely and properly pay or observe, keep or perform any term, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement or in any other agreement between Debtor and Secured Party or between Secured Party and any other obligor on the Obligations, including, but not limited to, any other note or instrument, loan agreement, security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage,

promissory note, guaranty, certificate, assignment, instrument, document or other agreement concerning or related to the Obligations; (iii) Debtor or such other obligor shall fail to timely and properly pay or observe, keep or perform any term, covenant, agreement or condition in any lease agreement between such party and any lessor pertaining to premises at which any Collateral is located or stored; (iv) Debtor or such other obligor abandons any leased premises at which any Collateral is located or stored and the Collateral is either moved without the prior written consent of Secured Party or the Collateral remains at the abandoned premises; (vi) Secured Party is required to make any payment to the Bank pursuant to the Guaranty; or (vii) any “Event of Default” occurs and is continuing under the Loan Agreement.

B. Rights and Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur, then, in each and every such case, Secured Party 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 or applicable law); at any time thereafter exercise and/or enforce any of the following rights and remedies at Secured Party’s option:

i. Possession and Collection of the Collateral. At its option: (a) take possession or control of, store, lease, operate, manage or 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 Secured Party; (c) in Secured Party’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 Secured Party (or to any assignee of Secured Party) 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 Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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, Secured Party may enter Debtor’s premises and otherwise proceed without legal process, if this can be done without breach of the peace. Debtor shall, upon Secured Party’s demand, promptly make the Collateral or other security available to Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party, which place shall be reasonably convenient to both parties.

Secured Party shall not be liable for, or be prejudiced by, any loss, depreciation or other damage to the Collateral, unless caused by Secured Party’s willful and malicious act. Secured Party 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 indebtedness at any time held or owing by Secured Party or any of Secured Party’s agents or affiliates to or for the credit of the account of Debtor or any guarantor or indorser of the Obligations.

Secured Party 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. Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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 Secured Party in its discretion shall decide.

Debtor specifically understands and agrees that any sale by Secured Party of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be effected by Secured Party at times and in manners which could result in the proceeds of such sale 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 Secured Party 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.

If, in the opinion of Secured Party, there is any question that a public sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law, Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall be deemed “commercially reasonable”.

8. General.

A. Parties Bound. Secured Party’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. In the event of any assignment or transfer by Secured Party of any of the Obligations or the Collateral, Secured Party thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so assigned or transferred, but Secured Party 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.
