be utterly null and void; otherwise, said estate shall remain in full force and
effect.

Premises until an Event of Default has occurred.
Mortgagor further warrants, covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

present and future advance and re-advances, if any, made or to be made to
Mortgagor by Mortgagee related to the Loan Documents or the Note. The maximum
principal amount, including present and future advances and other Obligations,
which may be secured by this Mortgage at any one time shall not exceed twice the
face amount of the Note as stated above. Future obligations may be incurred and
future advances may be made at any time within fifteen (1 5) years of the date
of this Mortgage. If Mortgagee reserves the right to make future advances in
excess of the face amount of the Note, it is not an indication that Mortgagee
intends to make such future advances.

repair and will neither permit nor allow waste of any portion of the Premises.
Mortgagor will promptly repair or restore any portion of the Premises which is
damaged or destroyed by any cause whatsoever and will promptly pay when due all
costs and expenses of such repair or restoration. Mortgagor will not remove or

Premises and will cut no timber on the Premises without the express written
consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be entitled to specific performance of the
provisions of this paragraph.
3. Insurance. Mortgagor will keep all Tangible Property insured by such
company or companies as Mortgagee may reasonably approve for the full insurable

Mortgagee may appear pursuant to the New York standard form of mortgagee clause
or such other form of mortgagee clause as may be required by Mortgagee and will
not be cancelable by either the insurer or the insured without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby assigns to
Mortgagee the right to collect and receive any indemnity payment otherwise owed
to Mortgagor upon any policy of insurance insuring any portion of the Premises,
regardless of whether Mortgagee is named in such policy as a person entitled to
collect upon the same. Any indemnity payment received by Mortgagee from any such
policy of insurance may, at the option of Mortgagee, (ii) be applied by
Mortgagee to payment of any Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may determine
(ii) be applied in a manner determined by Mortgagee to the replacement, repair,
or restoration of the portion of the Premises damaged or destroyed, (iii) be
released to Mortgagor upon such conditions as Mortgagee may determine, or (iv)

indemnity payment which is applied to replacement, repair, or restoration of any
portion of the Premises which is released to Mortgagor shall be deemed a payment
against any Obligations. Mortgagor will keep the Premises continuously insured
as herein required and will deliver to Mortgagee the original of each policy of
insurance required hereby. Mortgagor will pay each premium coming due on any
such policy of insurance and will deliver to Mortgagee proof of such payment at
least ten (1 0) days prior to the date such premium would become overdue or
delinquent. Upon the expiration or termination of any such policy of insurance,
Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee at lease ten (1 0) days prior to such
expiration or termination the original of a renewal or replacement policy of
insurance meeting the requirements of this Mortgage. Upon foreclosure of this
Mortgage, all right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to any policy of
insurance upon the Premises which is in the custody of Mortgagee, including the
right to unearned premiums, shall vest in the purchaser of the Premises at
foreclosure, and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as the attorney in fact of
Mortgagor to assign all right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to any
such policy of insurance to such purchaser. This appointment is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable.
4. Taxes and Assessments. Mortgagor will pay all taxes, assessments, and
other charges which constitute or are secured by a lien upon the Premises and
will deliver to Mortgagee proof of payment of the same not less than ten (1 0)
days prior to the date the same becomes delinquent; provided that Mortgagor
shall be entitled by appropriate proceedings to contest the amount or validity
of such tax, assessment, or charge so long as the collection of the same is
stayed during the pendency of such proceedings and Mortgagor deposit with the
authority to which such tax, assessment, or charge is payable or with Mortgagee
appropriate security for payment of the same, together with any applicable
interest and penalties, should the same be determined due and owing.

providing to Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's request from time to time, a then-current
environmental site assessment, audit, or survey ("Assessment") of the Premises,
which Assessment shall be prepared by an environmental auditor acceptable to
Mortgagee, in Mortgagee's sole discretion; provided that Mortgagee shall make
such request no more frequently than once every second year unless the Note is
being renewed, extended, modified, or accelerated or Mortgagee is otherwise
required by any law, regulation, order, or other directive from any regulatory
agency having jurisdiction over Mortgagee to obtain any such Assessment.
6. Appraisal. Mortgagor shall pay when due the cost of providing to
Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's request from time to time, a then-current appraisal of
the market value of the Premises prepared by an appraiser acceptable to
Mortgagee in its discretion; provided that Mortgagee shall make such request no
more frequently than once every third year unless the Note is being renewed,
extended modified, or accelerated or Mortgagee is otherwise required by any law,
regulation, order, or other directive from any regulatory agency having
jurisdiction over Mortgagee to obtain any such appraisal.
7. Expenditures by Mortgagee. If Mortgagor fails to make payment for
restoration or repair of the Premises, for insurance premiums, for taxes,
assessments, or other charges as required in this Mortgage, or for performance
of any other covenant or condition hereof, Mortgagee may, but shall not be
obligated to, pay for the same, and any such payment by Mortgagee will be
secured by this Mortgage and have the same rank and priority as the principal
Obligation secured by this Mortgage and bear interest from the date of payment
at the rate payable from time to time on outstanding principal under the Note
after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Payments made for taxes by
Mortgagee shall be a first lien on the Premises to the extent of the taxes so
paid with interest from the date of payment, regardless of the rank and priority
of this Mortgage.
8. After Acquired Premises. The lien of this Mortgage will automatically
attach, without further act, to all fixtures now or hereafter located in or on,
or attached to, or used or intended to be used in connection with or with the
operation of, the Premises or any part of the Premises.

hold Mortgagee and its employees, agents, officers, attorneys, and successors
and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits,
losses, damages, assessments, fines, penalties, costs, or other expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation expenses) arising out of or
related directly or indirectly to the Loan Documents or any transaction
described therein, including any violation of any law related to hazardous
materials and any and all matters arising out of any act, omission, event, or
circumstance (including without limitation the presence on, generation at,
disposal of at, or release from the Premises of any hazardous substance or
waste), regardless of whether the act, omission, event, or circumstance
constituted a violation of any law related to hazardous materials at the time of
its existence or occurrence, including hazardous materials located on or about
any real property owned by any Mortgagor or for which any Mortgagor may
otherwise be responsible. Mortgagor's Obligations under this Section shall
survive the repayment of the Loan and satisfaction of all Loan Documents.
10. C6ndemnation. Mortgagee shall be entitled to be made a party to, be
notified by Mortgagor of, and to participate in any proceeding, whether formal
or informal, for condemnation or acquisition pursuant to power of eminent domain
of any portion of the Premises. Mortgagor assigns to Mortgagee the right to
collect and receive any payment or award to which Mortgagor would otherwise be
entitled by reason of condemnation or acquisition pursuant to power of eminent
domain of any portion of the Premises. Any such payment or award received by
Mortgagee may, at the option of Mortgagee, (i) be applied by Mortgagee to
payment of any Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may determine, (ii) be
applied in a manner determined by Mortgagee to the replacement of the portion of
the Premises taken and to the repair or restoration of the remaining portion of
the Premises, (iii) be released to Mortgagor upon such conditions as Mortgagee
may determine, or (iv) be used for any combination of the foregoing purposes. No
portion of an indemnity payment which is applied to replacement, repair, or
restoration of any portion of the Premises or which is released to Mortgagor
shall be deemed a payment against any Obligations.
11. Transfer. At the option of Mortgagee, the Obligations shall become due
and payable if, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall
convey away the Premises or any interest therein, further encumber the Premises,
or suffer the placement of any mechanics' lien on the Premises which is not
removed within 30 days after filing; or if the legal or beneficial ownership

Mortgagee under the Loan Documents or otherwise due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee
is not made when due.
(b) Additional Defaults. Any provision or covenant of the Loan Documents is
breached, or any warranty, representation, or statement made or furnished to
Mortgagee by Mortgagor in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents
(including any warranty, representation, or statement in Mortgagor's financial
statements) or to induce Mortgagee to make the Loan, is untrue or misleading in
any material respect.
(c) Insecurity. Mortgagee reasonably deems itself, any collateral, or any
lien or security interest, insecure or unsafe; or Mortgagee, in good faith,
believes that its prospects for payment of the Loan have been impaired.
1 3. Mortgagee's Remedies and Grace Period.
(a) Acceleration/Grace Period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
which continues beyond the applicable Grace Period, Mortgagee shall have the
option to declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loan, accrued
interest, and all other Obligations immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, or notice of any kind. Prior to exercising any right to
accelerate, Mortgagee will provide written notice to Mortgagor of the Event of
Default and Mortgagor will have five (5) days to cure in the case of a monetary
default and fifteen (1 5) days to cure in the case of a monetary default (the
"Grace Period(s)"), such Grace Periods to commence on the date that notice is
sent to Mortgagor by Mortgagee.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues
beyond the applicable Grace Period, Mortgagee shall be entitled to pursue all
Rights (hereafter defined) available under each of the Loan Documents, as well
as all Rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Without in any way
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagee shall also have the
following non-exclusive Rights:
A. Immediate Possession of Collateral. To take immediate possession of all
collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without notice, demand,
presentment, or resort to legal process, and, for those purposes, to enter any
premises where any of the collateral is located and remove the collateral
therefrom or render it unusable;
B. Assembly of Collateral. To require Mortgagor to assemble and make the
collateral available to Mortgagee at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which
is also reasonably convenient to Mortgagor.
C. Sale of Personal Property. To retain all non-real estate collateral in
satisfaction of any unpaid Obligations as provided in the Uniform Commercial
Code or sell the collateral at public or private sale after giving at least ten
(1 0) days' notice of the time and place of the sale, with or without having the
collateral physically present at the place of the sale (such notice constituting
reasonable notice under the Uniform Commercial Code).
D. Repair of Collateral. To make any repairs to the collateral which
Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable for the purposes of sale.
E. Set-off. To exercise any and all Rights of set-off which Mortgagee may
have against any account, fund, or property of any kind, tangible or intangible,
belonging to Mortgagor which shall be in Mortgagee's possession or under its
control.
F. Cure. To cure any Event of Default in such manner as deemed appropriate
by Mortgagee.
G. Foreclosure. If the Loan is secured by a lien on any real property, to
foreclose on such real property pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage or other
Loan Documents, or at law or in equity. Mortgagee shall be entitled to xxx and
recover judgment, as set forth above, either before, after, or during the
pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage, and the right
of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking,
possession, or foreclosure sale under this Mortgage, or by the exercise of any
other right, power, or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage,
or the foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage. At the foreclosure Mortgagee
shall be entitled to bid and to purchase the Premises and shall be entitled to
apply the Obligations, or any portion thereof, in payment for the Premises. The
proceeds of the sale shall be applied to the cost of sale, the amount due to
Mortgagee, and as otherwise required by then existing laws related to
foreclosure or as deemed necessary by Mortgagee. In case of a foreclosure sale
of all or any part of the Premises and of the application of the proceeds of
sale to the payment of the Obligations, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce
payment of and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid and to
recover judgment for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest. The
remedies provided to Mortgagee in this paragraph shall be in addition to and not
in lieu of any other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or any other
Loan Document, by law or in equity, all of which rights and remedies may be
exercised by Mortgagee independently, simultaneously, or consecutively in any
order without being deemed to have waived any right or remedy previously or not
yet exercised.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagee
shall also have the following specific rights and remedies:
(c) To make any repairs to the Premises which Mortgagee deems necessary or
desirable for the purposes of sale.
(d) To exercise any and all rights of set-off which Mortgagee may have
against any account, fund, or property of any kind, tangible or intangible,
belonging to Mortgagor which shall be in Mortgagee's possession or under its
control.
(e) To cure such Event of Default, with the result that all costs and
expenses incurred or paid by Mortgagee in effecting such cure shall be
additional charges on the Loan which bear interest at the interest rate set
forth in the Note and are payable upon demand.
(f) To foreclose on the Premises and to pursue any and all remedies
available to Mortgagee at law or in equity, and in any order Mortgagee may
desire, in Mortgagee's sole discretion.
14. Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and
take and maintain full control of the Premises in order to perform all acts
necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance of the Premises
including the execution, cancellation, or modification of leases, the making of
repairs to the Premises, and the execution or termination of contracts providing
for the construction, management, or maintenance of the Premises, all on such
terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Mortgage. The receiver
shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Premises. All
rents collected pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to the costs
of taking control of and managing the Premises and collecting the rents,
including attorneys' fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, costs
of repairs to the Premises, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments
and other charges on the Premises, and the costs of discharging any obligation
or liability of Mortgagor as lessor or landlord of the Premises and then to the
Obligations. Mortgagee or the receiver shall have access to the books and
records used in the operation and maintenance of the Premises and shall be
liable to account only for those rents actually received. Mortgagee shall not be
liable to Mortgagor or anyone claiming under or through Mortgagor, or anyone
having an interest in the Premises by reason of anything done or left undone by
Mortgagor under this Section. If the rents of the Premises are not sufficient to
meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Premises and collecting the
rents, Mortgagee, at its sole option, may advance funds to meet the costs. Any
funds expended by Mortgagee for such purposes shall become Obligations of
Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Unless Mortgagee and Mortgagor agree in writing to other
terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Mortgagee to
Mortgagor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of
disbursement at the rate stated in the Note after the occurrence of an Event of
Default. The entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Premises
by Mortgagee or the receiver and the application of rents as provided in this
Mortgage shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other
right or remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the
appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee shall be entitled as
secured party hereunder to the possession and control of any cash deposits or
instrument at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of
this Mortgage to, Mortgagee.
1 5. Waiver by Mortgagor. Mortgagor understands that upon default under
this Mortgage, among other remedies set out in this Mortgage, the Note, and the
Loan Documents, Mortgagee may foreclose upon the Premises or any portion thereof
in the sole discretion of Mortgagee and ask for a deficiency judgment.
Mortgagor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waives and
relinquishes any rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, marshalling of
assets, and sale in inverse order of alienation and homestead, which Mortgagor
may have under any statute or governing law and understands and agrees that a
deficiency judgment, if pursued by Mortgagee, shall be determined by the highest
price bid at the foreclosure sale of the property. -
1 6. Notices. Any notice given to Mortgagor or Mortgagee by one of these
parties shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving notice. Any
notice or other document to be delivered to Mortgagor or Mortgagee by one of
these parties shall be deemed delivered if (i) mailed postage prepaid, or (ii)
sent via nationally recognized overnight courier, to the party to whom directed
at the address of such party described above. This paragraph shall not be deemed
to prohibit any other manner of delivering a notice or other document.
1 7. Additional Documents. The Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to
the Mortgagee, upon the request of the Mortgagee from time to time hereafter,
all financing statements and other documents reasonably required to perfect and
maintain the lien and security interest created by the Mortgage.
1 8. Partial Foreclosure. In the event the Property is comprised of more
than one parcel of real property, Mortgagor hereby waives any right to require
Mortgagee to foreclose or exercise any of its other remedies against all of the
Property as a whole or to require Mortgagee to foreclose or exercise such
remedies against one portion of the Property prior to the foreclosure or
exercise of said remedies against other portions of the Property.
19. Greater Estate. In the event that Mortgagor is the owner of a
leasehold estate with respect to any portion of the Premises and, prior to the
satisfaction of the Obligations and the cancellation of this Mortgage of record,
Mortgagor obtains a fee estate in such portion of the Premises, then, such fee
estate shall automatically, and without further action of any kind on the part
of Mortgagor, be and become subject to the security lien of this Mortgage.
20. Imposition of Tax. In the event of the passage of any state, federal,
municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule, or regulation in any manner
changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of debts
secured by deeds of trust or the manner of collecting taxes so as to affect
adversely Mortgagee, Mortgagor will promptly pay any such tax on or before the
due date; and if Mortgagor fails to make such prompt payment or if any such
state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule, or regulation
prohibits Mortgagor from making such payment or would penalize Mortgagee if
Mortgagor makes such payment, then the entire balance of the Obligations
evidenced by the Note shall become due and payable upon demand at the option of
Mortgagee.
21. Amendments. Neither this Mortgage nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged, or terminated orally, or by any action or inaction, but only
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought. Any agreement made after
the execution of this Mortgage by Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to this
Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien
or encumbrance on the Premises.
22. Miscellaneous.
(a) The terms "Mortgagor" and "Mortgagee" shall refer to and include the
heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of Mortgagor and Mortgagee
and all covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage by or on behalf of
Mortgagor or Mortgagee shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
(b) This Mortgage shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in
accordance with the laws of South Carolina.
(c) Mortgagee may make or cause to be made reasonable entries onto the
Premises for inspections, appraisals, environmental tests, or assessments upon
the giving to Mortgagor of prior notice, and to this end, Mortgagor grants an
easement to Mortgagee over and onto the Premises for such purposes.
(d) If this is not a first mortgage, any prior mortgages and the maximum
amount thereof are shown below: Mortgage and Security Agreement provided by
Mortgagor in favor of Xxxxx Development Corporation in the principal amount of
$625,000.00 dated as of even date herewith and recorded immediately prior to the
recording of this Mortgage.
(e) Mortgagor represents to Mortgagee that such Mortgagor is benefited by
the Loan evidenced by the Note, whether or not Mortgagor is the maker thereof,
that Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage will not render Mortgagor
insolvent, and that adequate and sufficient consideration has been given to
Mortgagor for its execution and delivery of this Mortgage.
23. Subordination. Mortgagee, for itself and its successors and assigns,
agrees and does hereby now and forever subordinate and postpone this Mortgage
lien in favor of the mortgage lien of Xxxxx Development Corporation ("BDC"), and
its successors and assigns, made pursuant to that certain mortgage and security
agreement ("BDC Mortgage") executed by Mortgagor in favor of BDC and recorded in
the RMC's office in the county in which the Land is situate immediately prior to
the recording of this Mortgage. The BDC Mortgage secures a loan in the
original principal amount of $625,000.00 dated as of even date herewith, and
Mortgagee consents and agrees that the BDC Mortgage shall have priority and
precedence over this Mortgage until the BDC Loan is satisfied in full.
