-4-
2.02 EXPIRATION; EXTENSION. The Swing Credit Facility shall expire on
---------------------
the Expiration Date, at which time the principal amount of all Swing Loans then

in full. The expiration of the Swing Credit Facility may be extended only in
accordance with the following:
(a) Borrower may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to Swing
Bank, no sooner than 90 days and no later than 60 days before the then effective
Expiration Date, of its request to extend the expiration of the Swing Credit
Facility for a term ending 364 days after the then effective Expiration Date.
In the event that Swing Bank receives any such written request, Swing Bank may,

notice to Borrower of its determination, in its sole discretion, to make an
offer or not to make an offer to Borrower to extend the expiration of the Swing

Date, and, if it shall have determined to make such an offer, the terms and

Date, Borrower (i) accepts in writing the offer in accordance with those terms
and conditions set forth by Swing Bank in such written notice, (ii) pays Swing
Bank the extension fee required by Swing Bank, and (iii) executes and delivers
to Swing Bank an amendment to the Swing Line Master Note and such other
amendments, instruments or other documents required by Swing Bank as a condition
to the extension, all in form and substance acceptable to Swing Bank, the
Expiration Date shall thereupon be extended to the last day of the 364 day term
for which such extension shall have been offered.

Swing Bank, before 60 days before the then effective Expiration Date, of its
request to extend the expiration of the Swing Credit Facility, or (ii) Swing
Bank fails, before 45 days before the then effective Expiration Date, to respond
to such a written notice from Borrower, or (iii) Swing Bank gives written notice
to Borrower of its determination, in its sole discretion, not to make an offer
to Borrower to extend the Swing Credit Facility, or (iv) Swing Bank offers to
extend the Expiration Date, before 45 days before the then effective Expiration
Date but Borrower does not accept the offer, pay the stipulated extension fee,
and execute and deliver the documents required as a condition to the extension,
all on or before the then effective Expiration Date, the Swing Credit Facility
shall not be extended, and the principal amount of all Swing Loans then
outstanding and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable
in full on such Expiration Date.
-5-
2.03 RATE OF INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
----------------
amount of the Swing Line Master Note at the LIBOR Rate. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Swing Bank determines in good
faith that it is not possible to determine the applicable LIBOR Rate or the
LIBOR Rate shall not cover the actual cost to Swing Bank of obtaining United
States dollar deposits in the Interbank Eurodollar Market plus the Applicable
Margin, then Swing Bank shall promptly notify Borrower, and the principal amount
of the Swing Line Master Note shall thereafter accrue interest at the Floating
Rate.
2.04 NOTICE AND MANNER OF BORROWING. (a) Borrower shall give Swing
------------------------------
Bank an Advance Request prior to 10:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the
Banking Day on which the Swing Loan is to be made.
(b) Upon receipt by Swing Bank of an Advance Request, such Advance
Request shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower.
(c) Unless Swing Bank determines that any applicable condition
specified in Article IV hereof has not been satisfied, Swing Bank will make the
funds available to Borrower by crediting a checking account maintained by
Borrower with Swing Bank.
(d) All Advance Requests shall specify the date, amount, and such
other information called for in the form of the Advance Request. Any such
notice which Swing Bank believes in good faith to have been given by a duly
authorized agent of Borrower shall be deemed given by Borrower.
2.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. Beginning on the first (1st) day of the first
-----------------
(1st) month after the initial Swing Loan is made and continuing on the first
(1st) day of each month thereafter so long as there is any principal amount or
accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Swing Line Master Note,
accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line
Master Note shall be due and payable. Interest payable on the Swing Line Master
Note shall be computed on the basis of a hypothetical year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed.
2.06 MATURITY. The entire unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line
--------
Master Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due
and payable on the Expiration Date.
2.07 PERMITTED PREPAYMENT OF SWING LOANS. All or part of the
-----------------------------------
outstanding principal amount of any Swing Loan may be prepaid at any time
without penalty or premium.
-6-
2.08 DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST. If a Swing Line Default shall occur,
------------------------
then, at the option of Swing Bank, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
amount of the Swing Loans from and after the date of such occurrence through and
including the date on which such Swing Line Default shall have been cured at
rates of interest equal to the rates otherwise applicable to such Swing Loans
plus an additional two percent (2.00%) per annum (200 basis points).
2.09 FACILITY FEE. A Facility Fee, which shall be computed as set forth
------------
below, shall be due and payable on the effective date of this Agreement and
shall be deemed fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. The Facility Fee
shall be computed by (a) multiplying the Swing Line Commitment by .10% (10
basis points), (b) dividing the product so obtained by 360, and (c) multiplying
the quotient so obtained by the actual number of days in the Swing Line
Commitment Period.
2.10 USE OF PROCEEDS. Proceeds of the Swing Loans shall be used
---------------
solely for those purposes for which the proceeds of the Loans may be used as set
forth in Section 2.09 of the Syndicated Credit Agreement.
2.11 INCREASED COSTS; ILLEGALITY; CAPITAL ADEQUACY. (a) If Swing Bank
---------------------------------------------
should suffer any increased cost in connection with any Swing Loan, as a result
of any change subsequent to the date hereof causing the imposition or increase
of any reserve, insurance, tax or assessment requirement (other than a tax
assessable on Swing Bank's overall net income or gross receipts) or the
compliance with any guidelines or requests from any governmental authority
issued subsequent to the date hereof (whether or not having the force of law),
Swing Bank shall, upon becoming aware of such increased costs, certify to
Borrower the amount thereof (and such certification shall be deemed prima facie
----- -----
correct), whereupon Borrower shall have the option either to: (i) repay in full
the Swing Line Master Note and request Swing Bank to terminate this Agreement;
or (ii) continue to borrow from Swing Bank under the terms of this Agreement and
pay Swing Bank, on subsequent interest payment dates, such additional amounts as
will compensate Swing Bank, from the date of receipt of certification, for such
increased costs.
(b) In the event that the introduction of or any change subsequent to
the date hereof in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by Swing Bank with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
governmental authority shall, in the determination of Swing Bank (which
determination shall be made in good faith and shall be deemed prima facie
----- -----
correct) make it unlawful or impractical for Swing
-7-
Bank to make, fund or maintain any Swing Loan, Swing Bank shall promptly, upon
becoming aware of such event, notify Borrower, whereupon Borrower shall, within
thirty (30) days after such notice, pay Swing Bank in full such amounts as will
compensate Swing Bank for any losses (not including lost profits) or expenses
which Swing Bank shall have sustained or incurred as a result of such event (and
the determination of which by Swing Bank shall be deemed prima facie correct, as
----- -----
certified by Swing Bank).
(c) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the administration thereof, or compliance
by Swing Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by Swing Bank or any person or entity in Control of Swing Bank and
Swing Bank determines that the amount of said capital is increased by or based
upon Swing Bank's obligations hereunder, then Swing Bank will promptly notify
Borrower thereof, and from time to time, within 30 days after demand by Swing
Bank, Borrower shall pay to Swing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate Swing Bank in light of such circumstances, to the extent that Swing
Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital is allocable to its
obligations hereunder.
(d) Swing Bank shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth
in reasonable detail the calculations of any additional amounts required in
order to compensate Swing Bank under subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.11. In determining any such amounts, Swing Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution method, provided that Swing Bank shall use
--------
such methods in good faith, and such methods and the resulting charges to
Borrower shall be in accordance with those generally used by Swing Bank for this
purpose.

books and records, wherever located, at any reasonable time or times, and may
enter upon its premises for such purposes. Borrower shall assist Swing Bank in
whatever way reasonably necessary to make each such examination, audit and

agreement of Borrower hereunder or under any of the Swing Loan Documents which
Borrower shall fail to perform, and Borrower agrees to reimburse forthwith Swing
Bank for all expenses of Swing Bank in connection with the foregoing, together

10.02 UPON SWING LINE DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Swing Line
-----------------------
Default, Swing Bank may terminate this Agreement and may declare the Swing
Obligations, notwithstanding any provisions thereof, without demand or notice of
any kind, immediately due and payable, whereupon the Swing Obligations shall
become immediately due and payable and may be collected forthwith; and Swing
Bank may exercise from time to time any
-13-
rights and remedies available to it under the Swing Loan Documents and
applicable law.
10.03 CURE OF DEFAULTS. Anything herein contained to the contrary
----------------
notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 10.03 shall not apply to any
Swing Line Default consisting of a failure to comply with any Sections of
Articles VII or VIII, to any Swing Line Default consisting of a failure to repay
the Swing Line Master Note on the maturity date thereof, to any Swing Line

Obligations when due, to any Swing Line Default under Section 9.04 or 9.05, or
to any Swing Line Default that is specifically excluded from any provision for
cure of defaults pursuant to the terms of any other of the Loan Documents. In
the event of the occurrence of a Swing Line Default which consists of failure to
make a payment of interest on the Swing Obligations when due, Swing Bank will
not, on account of said Swing Line Default, accelerate the maturity of any Swing
Obligations, exercise any other rights or remedies under the Swing Loan
Documents, or institute any court action under this Agreement or any of the
Swing Loan Documents if, within three (3) Domestic Business Days after the date

and VIII hereof, Swing Bank will not, on account of said Swing Line Default,
accelerate the maturity of any Swing Obligations, exercise any other rights or

knowledge of any such Swing Line Default, or (b) in the case of any covenants
set forth in the other Swing Loan Documents, within any applicable grace period
provided for therein, Borrower fully cures said Swing Line Default. Except as
specifically set forth in this Section 10.03, no default notice or cure period
shall be applicable with respect to the breach by Borrower or Weeks Corporation

interest to Swing Bank in all property in which Borrower has an interest which

Swing Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute.

partnership or joint venture between Borrower and Swing Bank. Wherever in the
Swing Loan Documents it is indicated that the approval, consent or determination
of Swing Bank is to be given or made at the option or in the discretion or
judgment of Swing Bank without reference to a standard of reasonableness, then
Swing Bank may grant or withhold such approval or consent or make such
determination without restriction in its sole and absolute discretion. The
obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Swing Line Master Note
shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be
required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of
law applicable to Swing Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or
collected by Swing Bank. In the event that any such payment in excess of the
maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law is inadvertently paid by
Borrower or inadvertently received by Swing Bank, the amount in excess of the
maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law shall be credited as a
payment of principal, unless Borrower shall notify Swing Bank in writing that
the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. All
exhibits referred to in the Swing Loan Documents are by such reference
incorporated into the Swing Loan Documents as if fully set forth therein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
and delivered in their names and on their behalf, and their seals to be affixed
