MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
(MASTER)

RECITALS
Pursuant to that loan commitment dated April 22, 1998 (the “Original Commitment”), Lender, on or about May 29, 1998, made a $20,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit loan to Borrower (the “Loan”). Borrower executed a $15,500,000 Promissory Note and a $4,500,000 Promissory Note, both in favor of Lender (collectively the “Note”) and executed other documents, including the Deed of Trust (as described below), in connection with the Loan (the Note and these other documents collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”). The parties now wish to modify certain provisions of the Loan Documents as described below. The parties, in exchange for the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, agree as follows:
1. Modification. Notwithstanding language in the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the parties agree that the “October 31, 1998” date appearing in Section 2.1 of the Note is changed to “November 30, 1998”.
2. Effect of Modification. Except as amended by this Agreement, the provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents are hereby confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. The executed original of this Agreement shall be attached to the original Note. The parties acknowledge that the Note, as modified by this Agreement, remains secured by that Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases (Master), as supplemented by the Supplemental Deed(s) of Trust, if any, executed by Borrower (collectively the “Deed of Trust”). This Agreement shall not, in any way, constitute a novation of the Loan.
3. Borrower/Guarantor Representation. The Borrower, and the Guarantors by their signatures below, acknowledge that the Note and other Loan Documents, as amended, represent valid and subsisting obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors, respectively, and that there are no known defenses or offsets against those obligations.
4. Miscellaneous. No modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing, attached hereto, and signed by the party against whom or which it is sought to be enforced. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of North Carolina without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. All words and phrases in this Agreement shall be construed to include the singular or plural number, and the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, as the context requires. Each party will execute and deliver all additional documents and do all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.
