2
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE HOLDER MAY, AT ITS
SOLE OPTION, UPON AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) CALENDAR DAYS' PRIOR WRITTEN

ACCRUED AND UNPAID INTEREST DUE HEREUNDER DUE AND PAYABLE IN FULL AS OF THE 1ST
DAY OF JULY IN ANY YEAR , BEGINNING WITH THE 1ST DAY OF JULY, 2002 (EACH SUCH

NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE LENDER TO CALL THIS NOTE ON ANY SUBSEQUENT
CALL DATE. IF HOLDER GIVES SAID NOTICE, HOLDER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER
OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY ADVANCE UNDER THE SEASONAL LINE OF CREDIT NOTE.
IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED by and between the parties hereto that
this Agreement shall become a part of the Note by reference and that nothing
herein contained shall impair the security now held for said indebtedness, nor
shall waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant or
agreement contained in the Note or Master Credit Agreement except as herein
amended, nor affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies under the Note, as
hereby amended, or Master Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the Lender does hereby
reserve all rights and remedies it may have as against all parties who may be or
may hereafter become primarily or secondarily liable for the repayment of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, as hereby amended.
The Borrower promises and agrees to pay the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note, as hereby amended, in accordance with the terms thereof
and agrees to perform all of the requirements, conditions and obligations under
the terms of the Note, as hereby modified and amended, and Master Credit
Agreement, said documents being hereby ratified and affirmed. The execution and
delivery hereof shall not constitute a novation or modification of the lien,
encumbrance or security title of the Security Instruments, which Security
Instruments shall retain their priority as originally filed for record. Borrower
expressly agrees that the Note is in full force and effect and that Borrower has
no right to setoff, counterclaim or defense to the payment thereof.
Any reference contained in the Note, as amended herein,
Security Instruments or Master Credit Agreement, to the Note shall hereinafter
be deemed to be a reference to such document as amended hereby.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender may reproduce (by electronic
means or otherwise) any of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Note and
thereafter may destroy the original documents. Borrower does hereby agree that
any document so reproduced shall be the binding obligation of Borrower,
enforceable and admissible in evidence against it to the same extent as if the
original documents had not been destroyed, provided, however, any original of a
document executed by the parties shall be conclusive evidence as to the terms of
that document.
This Agreement shall be closed without cost to the Lender and
all expenses incurred in connection with this closing (including, without
limitation, all attorneys' fees) are to be paid by the Borrower. The Lender is
not providing legal advice or services to the Borrower.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina without regard to
principles of conflict of laws.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any assignee or the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may
execute any of such counterparts.
