AND 49/100 DOLLARS ($857,215.49) together with any unpaid interest hereon from date of advance, in
accordance with the terms contained in this Note. The optional provisions applicable to this Note

Repayment:
| þ | Monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of SEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE AND 44/100 DOLLARS ($7,771.44) (each a “Monthly Payment Amount”), beginning on February 19, 2011 and continuing on the nineteenth (19th) day of each month thereafter, until the amended and modified maturity date of January 19, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”), when the entire principal amount then outstanding and unpaid, accrued and unpaid interest and all other charges, fees, costs and/or expenses not previously paid; provided, however, that at any time from the Effective Date through the Maturity Date (the “Discounted Payoff Time Period”), that as an accommodation to Borrower and in consideration of the transactions contemplated and agreed to pursuant to the 2011 Assumption Agreement, and further provided that none of the following has occurred at any time during the Discounted Payoff Time Period: (i) the Borrower has failed to make any payment required under the Related Note and/or this Note in strict accordance and compliance with the terms thereof; (ii) a default, breach, violation or other instance of non-compliance has occurred with respect to the Related Note, the 2011 Assumption Agreement or any other Loan Documents; or (iii) an Event of Default or other default has occurred under this Note (each of the conditions, occurrences and/or events described in (i) through (iii) above shall hereinafter sometimes each be |
| referred to as a “Discounted Payoff Rescission Event” or collectively as the “Discounted Payoff Rescission Events”), then in such event and provided that no Discounted Payoff Rescission Event has occurred at any time during the Discounted Payoff Time Period, Lender hereby agrees to accept a discounted principal payoff (but not a discounted payoff of any other charges, fees, costs of expenses provided hereunder or under any other Loan Documents) in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) (the “Discounted Principal Payoff Amount”), which Discounted Principal Payoff Amount shall be accompanied by the full, complete and indefeasible payoff and payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and all other charges, fees, costs and/or expenses not previously paid on the entire balance of this Note, and which accrued and unpaid interest shall be calculated based on the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount rather than the Total Principal Amount provided that no Discounted Payoff Rescission Event has occurred at any time during the Discounted Payoff Time Period. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Monthly Payment Amount is based upon an assumed term of One Hundred and Twenty Months (120) as to the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount (rather than the Total Principal Amount) based on a fixed per annum interest rate of Six Percent (6%) as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term of any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event of the occurrence of a Discounted Payoff Rescission Event at any time during the Discounted Payoff Time Period, then in such event: (i) Borrower shall have no right or ability whatsoever to avail itself of the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount and Lender shall have no obligation and/or responsibility to accept the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount in satisfaction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note; (ii) all interest accruing from and after the Effective Date, whether previously paid or not, shall be retroactively recalculated from the Effective Date based on the Total Principal Amount (not the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount) and Borrower shall immediately make payment to Lender for all additional interest so retroactively assessed and calculated, with credit given for interest previously paid; (iii) Lender, at Lender’s sole option and discretion shall have the option to recalculate and recast the Monthly Payment Amount based upon the Total Principal Amount (rather than the Discounted Principal Payment Amount); (iv) Borrower shall be responsible, liable and obligated for the full, complete and indefeasible payment of the Total Principal Amount (without right or regard to the Discounted Principal Payoff Amount), all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Note, the 2011 Assumption Agreement and all other applicable Loan Document, including and giving effect to any and all right and remedies contained therein that may result from the occurrence of Discounted Payoff Rescission Event, any default or Event of Default of this Note or other Loan Documents, including but not limited to any rights to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. The Borrower may NOT borrow, repay and reborrow sums up to the Total Principal Amount set forth above, as this is considered a term loan, not a revolving line of credit loan. |
Interest:
Payable at the rate per annum of:
| þ | Six Percent (6%) Fixed. |
In no case shall interest exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
| þ | In addition, Borrower agrees to pay to lender a non-refundable assumption and modification loan fee of ZERO AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($0.00). |
Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed.
After demand or maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), as applicable, interest on any
unpaid balance hereof shall be payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to FIVE PERCENT (5%)
above the rate applicable prior to demand or maturity, not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
To the extent not prohibited by law, a late charge of FIVE PERCENT (5%) or the applicable statutory
maximum, whichever is greater, shall be assessed on any payment remaining past due for TEN (10)
days or more unless; provided, however, that if any applicable statute allows a shorter minimum
time period for the imposition of a late charge, such shorter time period shall prevail.
All payments on this Note shall be applied, in accordance with the then current billing statement
applicable to this Note, first to accrued interest, then to fees, then to principal due, and then
to late charges. Any remaining funds shall be applied to the further reduction’ of principal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a default hereunder or any other Event of
Default, payments shall be applied as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

It is expressly intended that the 2011 Assumption Agreement shall survive closing and delivery of this Note, the Related Note and all other Loan Documents executed in delivered in connection therewith and/or as a requirement thereof. |
In addition to any other collateral specified herein and in other agreements, to secure the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note, together with any extensions, modifications, amendments,
restatements or renewals thereof, in whole or in part, as well as all other indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender, now existing or hereafter incurred or
arising, including, without limitation, all sums arising under any ISDA Master Agreement now or
hereafter executed between Borrower and Lender and any related schedules and confirmations thereto
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Obligations”), except for other indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities owing to Lender that constitute: (a) consumer credit as defined in
Federal Reserve Board Regulation Z and either subject to the disclosure requirements of Federal
Reserve Board Regulation Z or state consumer protection laws; or (b) non-consumer credit if under
applicable state law the maximum interest rate for such credit is reduced when secured (herein
collectively referred to as “Restricted Debt”), the Borrower does hereby grant to the Lender a
security interest in, and does hereby pledge to Lender the following described property: (i) all
collateral more particularly described in Security Agreement-Commercial dated July 26, 2001, the
Term Loans evidenced by the Note and Security Agreements dated October 14, 1999, August 24, 2001,
October 11, 2001 and December 5, 2001, as revised by the Extension Agreement, the May 12, 2003 and
August 25, 2003 Extension Letters, the 2003 Consolidation Note, the 2003 Assumption Agreement, the
2011 Assumption Agreement, the Related Note and all other Loan Documents that describe the

Vehicle Collateral (as such term is defined in the 2011 Assumption Agreement), more fully
described in the 2011 Assumption Agreement of even date herewith; and (ii) all property and other
collateral described and set forth in Schedule 1, attached hereto and by this reference
incorporated herein and made a part hereof, all of which described in (i) and (ii) above whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, together with any and all additions and accessions thereto or
replacements thereof, returned or unearned premiums from any insurance written in connection with
this Note and any products and/or proceeds of any of the foregoing. In no event, however, shall the
Lender have a security interest in any goods acquired by the Borrower for personal, family or
household purposes more than 10 days after the date of this Note, unless such goods are added to or
attached to the Collateral (as hereinafter defined). In addition, to the extent not prohibited by
law, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in, and does hereby pledge to
Lender: (i) all other property of the Borrower now or hereafter in the possession or control of the
Lender (exclusive of any such property in the possession or control of the Lender as a fiduciary
other than as agent), including, without limitation, all cash, stock or other dividends and all
proceeds thereof, and all rights to subscribe for securities incident thereto and any substitutions
or replacements for, or other rights in connection with, any of the Collateral; and (ii) any of
Borrower’s deposit accounts (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
Georgia, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Code”), whether such accounts be
general or special, or individual or multiple party, held by Lender and upon all drafts, notes, or
other items-deposited for collection or presented for payment by the Borrower with the Lender, and
the Lender may at any time, without demand or notice, appropriate and apply any of such to the
payment of any of the Obligations (except for Restricted Debt), whether or not due. All property
described in this paragraph (including but not limited
to Schedule 1 of this Note), in which the
Borrower, Wheatstone, WEGI or any other party to which Borrower has previously, hereby is, or
hereafter becomes a successor thereof (whether by merger, assumption or otherwise) has granted to
the Lender a security interest or security title hereunder, is herein collectively referred to as
the “Collateral.” If, with respect to any Collateral in the form of investment securities, a stock
dividend is declared or any stock split-up made or right to subscribe issued, all the certificates
for the shares representing such stock dividend or split-up or right to subscribe will be
immediately delivered, duly endorsed, to the Lender as additional Collateral. The Lender shall be
deemed to have possession, control and custody of any Collateral actually in transit to it or to
any of its officers or agents.
If at any time the Collateral pledged as security for any of the Obligations shall be or
become unsatisfactory to the Lender or should the Lender deem itself insecure, the Borrower will
immediately furnish such further property to be held by the Lender as if originally pledged as
Collateral hereunder or make such payment on account as will be satisfactory to the Lender.
The Lender shall have, but shall not be limited to, the following rights, each of which may be
exercised at any time or from time to time: (i) to transfer this Note and the Collateral, and any
transferee shall have all the rights of the Lender hereunder and the Lender shall be thereafter
relieved from any liability with respect to any Collateral so transferred; (ii) to execute at any
time in the name of any party hereto and to file one or more financing statements describing the
Collateral, which financing statement’s may contain a generic collateral description that is
broader than the Collateral and which may describe any agricultural liens or other statutory liens
held by Lender; and (iii) to request and receive current financial information from any party
liable for all or any part of the Obligations.
The Lender shall have, but shall not be limited to, the following rights, each of which may be
exercised during which time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) to receive or
take control of any income or other proceeds of any of the Collateral; (ii) to transfer the whole
or any part of the Collateral in the name of itself or its nominees; (iii) to vote any investment
securities forming a part of the Collateral; and (iv) to notify the obligors on any Obligation to
make payment to the Lender of any amounts due thereon.
Borrower will at Lender’s request maintain insurance on the Collateral in amounts at least
equal to the fair market value of the Collateral and against casualty, public liability and
property damage risks and such other risks as Lender may request; provided, however, if the
Collateral described above is a vehicle(s), Borrower agrees to obtain and maintain liability
insurance as required by law and collision and comprehensive insurance with a deductible not
exceeding FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500.00). All insurance shall be with companies with a
Best Insurance Report Rating of B+ or better, and Borrower will pay all premiums for insurance when
due. Unless and until requested by Lender, Borrower shall not be required to name Lender as
additional insured in such policy or to provide Lender a copy of the policy for or certificate
evidencing such insurance, but when and if requested by
Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (but no later than five (5) business days): (i) cause
all policies of such insurance to specify that Lender is an additional insured as its interests may
appear and to provide that such insurance shall not be cancellable by Borrower or the insurer
without at least 30 days advance written notice to Lender and that proceeds are payable to Lender
regardless of any act or omission of Borrower which would otherwise result in a denial of a claim;
and (ii) deliver all policies or certificates thereof (with copies of such policies) to Lender.
Borrower is authorized to receive the proceeds of any insurance loss and shall apply such proceeds
toward either the repair or replacement of the Collateral or the payment of the Obligations secured
hereby, so long as no Event of Default exists hereunder. The undersigned will also pay all taxes
and other impositions on the Collateral as well as the cost of repairs or maintenance to the
Collateral. If the undersigned fails to maintain such insurance or fails to pay any and all amounts
for taxes, repairs, maintenance and other costs, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be
required to, purchase such insurance or pay any premium owing with respect to such insurance or pay
such amounts for taxes, repairs, maintenance and other costs, and any such sum paid by Lender shall
be payable by the Borrower on demand by Lender or at its option may be added to the Obligations and
secured hereby. The loss, injury or destruction of the Collateral, with or without the fault of
Borrower, shall not release the Borrower from any liability hereunder or in any way affect
Borrower’s liability hereunder.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions or events shall constitute an
“Event of Default” hereunder: (i) any failure of any Obligor (which term shall include the Borrower
and each endorser, surety or guarantor of this Note) to pay any of the Obligations when due or to
observe or perform any agreement, covenant or promise hereunder, in any of the Loan Documents or in
any other agreement, note, instrument or certificate of
any Obligor to the Lender, now existing or
hereafter executed in connection with any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, a loan
agreement, if applicable, and any agreement guaranteeing payment of any of the Obligations; (ii)
any default of any Obligor in the payment or performance of any other liabilities, indebtedness or
obligations to Lender or to allow or permit any other liabilities, indebtedness or obligations to
Lender to be accelerated; (iii) any failure of any Obligor to furnish Lender current financial
information within a reasonable time after receipt of a written request; (iv) any failure of any
Obligor or any Pledgor of any security interest in the Collateral (the “Pledgor”) to observe or
perform any agreement, covenant or promise contained in any agreement, instrument or certificate
executed in connection with the granting of a security interest in property to secure the
Obligations or any guaranty securing the Obligations; (v) any warranty, representation or statement
made or furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of any Obligor or Pledgor in connection with the
extension of credit evidenced by this Note proving to have been false in any material respect when
made or furnished; (vi) any sale, foreclosure of or material encumbrance to any of the Collateral,
or the making of any material levy, seizure or attachment thereof or thereon or the rendering of
any material judgment or lien or garnishment or attachment against any Obligor or Pledgor or its
Collateral property (the term “material” as used in this subparagraph (vi) shall mean that which
would materially impair the ability of Borrower to repay the Obligations when due); (vii) the
dissolution, change in control (other than a transfer of control to an affiliate of Borrower;
provided that Lender is notified in advance of said transfer and by which Lender consents to and
approves in writing and further provided that the transferee assumes the indebtedness evidenced
hereby), change of status to an organization, change of type of organization, termination of
existence, insolvency, business failure, or appointment of a receiver of any part of the property
of, assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, state or federal, by or against, the Borrower or any other Obligor
or Pledgor; (viii) if Borrower, any Pledgor or any Obligor shall change its name, change its
principal residence, change its chief executive office, change its status to an organization,
change its state of organization, change its type of organization, or change its organizational
identification number, as applicable, without giving Secured Party at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice; (ix) the occurrence of any Discounted Payoff Rescission Event at any time during
the Discounted Payoff Time Period; (x) the occurrence of any default or Event of Default (as such
term is defined in the Related Note) under the Related Note; or (xi) any discontinuance or
termination of any guaranty of any of the Obligations by a guarantor.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and the expiration of any applicable notice and/or
grace periods), to the extent permitted by law, the Lender at its option may terminate any
obligation to extend any additional credit or make any other financial accommodation to the
Borrower and/or may declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, all without
notice or demand, and shall have in addition to and independent of the right to declare the
Obligations to be due and payable and any other rights of the Lender under this Note or any other
agreement with any Obligor or any Pledgor, the remedies of a secured party under the Code,
including, without limitation thereto, the right to take possession of the Collateral, or the
proceeds thereof and to sell or otherwise dispose thereof; and for this purpose, to sign in the
name of any Obligor or Pledgor any transfer,
conveyance or instrument necessary or appropriate in order for the Lender to sell or dispose
of any of the Collateral, and the Lender may, so far as the Borrower can give, authority
therefor, enter upon the premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and
remove the same therefrom, without being liable in any way to any Obligor on account of entering
any premises. The Lender may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make the
Collateral available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender shall give the Borrower
written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any
private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be. made. The requirement of
sending reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, or otherwise
given, to the Borrower or Pledgor at the last address shown on the Lender’s records at least ten
(10) days before such disposition. Lender may: (i) comply with any applicable state or federal law
requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral; (ii) sell the Collateral without
giving any warranties as to the Collateral; and (iii) specifically disclaim any warranties of title
or the like and in so doing any of the foregoing will not be considered adversely to affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If any Obligation (including but not
limited to the Note) is a demand instrument, the statement of a maturity date, the requirement for
the payment of periodic interest or the recitation of defaults and the right of Lender to declare
any Obligation due and payable shall not constitute an election by Lender to waive its right to
demand payment under a demand at any time and in any event as Lender in its sole discretion may
deem appropriate.
The rights of the Lender specified herein shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of
the Lender’s rights under the Code, or any other statute or rules of law conferring rights similar
to those conferred by the Code, and under the provisions of any Loan Documents or any other
instrument or agreement executed by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any Pledgor to the Lender.
All prior agreements to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Note shall be construed in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Any rights or remedies of the Lender may be exercised or
taken in any order or sequence whatsoever, at the sole option of the Lender. This agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and assigns of
Lender and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this security agreement.
The security agreement set forth herein and the security interest in the Collateral created
hereby shall terminate only when all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and
such payments are no longer subject to rescission, recovery or repayment upon the bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or similar proceeding affecting the Borrower
or any other person. No waiver by the Lender of any default shall be effective unless in writing
nor operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. All
rights of the Lender hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns, and all
obligations of the Borrower shall bind the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of
the Borrower. The Borrower and each endorser, surety or guarantor of this Note, whether bound by
this or by separate instrument or agreement, shall be jointly and severally liable for the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note and hereby severally: (i) waive presentment for payment,
demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or dishonor and of protest and any and all other notices and
demands whatsoever, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (ii) consent that at any
time, or from time to time, payment of any sum payable under this Note may be extended without
notice whether for a definite or indefinite time; and (iii) agree to remain liable until all of the
Obligations are paid in full notwithstanding any impairment, substitution, release or transfer of
Collateral or any one or more Borrower or Obligor by the Lender, with or without consideration, or
of any extension, modification or renewal. No conduct of the holder shall be deemed a waiver or
release of such liability, unless the holder expressly releases such party in writing, The Borrower
shall pay to the holder on demand all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
of legal counsel, incurred by the holder in any way arising from or relating to the enforcement or
attempted enforcement of the Note, any Loan Document and/or any related guaranty, collateral
document or other document and the collection or attempted collection, whether by litigation or
otherwise, of the Note. Time is of the essence.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note and the Related Note are cross-collateralized;
specifically, Borrower agrees that, in the event that any of the security instruments are realized
upon, and the proceeds of such realization exceed the primary indebtedness secured thereby, the
excess proceeds shall be retained by Lender and applied to the outstanding indebtedness secured by
the other security instruments in the order of due date. Lender shall be entitled to retain all
proceeds of any realization until all indebtedness secured by either this Note, the Related Note or
any other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. Lender shall have no obligation to release
any Collateral pledged
pursuant to this Note, the Related Note or any of the other Loan Documents until the entire
indebtedness due and payable to Lender has been paid in full.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall be solely and exclusively responsible
for, and that Lender shall not have any liability, obligation or responsibility of any kind or
nature whatsoever, any discharge of indebtedness and/or cancellation of debt income that may be
asserted, charged, imposed or assessed against Borrower, by any means or authority whatsoever, by
virtue of this Note, the 2011 Assumption Agreement, any of the other Loan Document or otherwise,
including but not limited to the terms and provision contained herein in this Note relating to the
Discounted Principal Payoff Amount.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender may reproduce by electronic means or otherwise any of the
documents evidencing and/or securing the Obligations and thereafter may destroy the original
documents. Borrower does hereby agree that any document so reproduced shall be and remain the
binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable and admissible in evidence ageing it to the same extent
as if the original documents had not been destroyed.
This Note, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, except to the extent that the Code
provides for the application of other law with respect to the Collateral. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission, or failure of performance shall
impair any such right or power, or shall such delay or omission be construed to be a waiver thereof
by the Lender. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in several
counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
In executing this Agreement, each of the parties hereto represents, warrants and certifies
that it has received independent legal counsel and advice from its respective attorneys with regard
to the facts involved in connection with the controversies set forth in this Agreement and subject
matter hereof, and with regard to the rights or asserted rights arising out of said controversies,
if any. In accepting the consideration referred to herein and in executing and delivering this
Agreement, each of the parties does so with the full knowledge of any and all rights which each now
has or, in the future, may have in connection with the aforementioned controversies, if any. This
Agreement shall not be construed against the drafter.
Whenever in this Agreement reference is made to any party or other person or entity such
reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the heirs, executors, representatives,
successors, assigns, and affiliates of such party. Whenever used, the singular number shall include
the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to
all genders. This Agreement may not be changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an
instrument in writing signed by the parties against whom the enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with
and only to the extent permitted by all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. If any
provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be
invalid or unenforceable, for any reason and to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but
rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties hereto do further
agree that the provisions contained herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties as of
this date, except as outlined by the 2011 Assumption Agreement, and that the terms hereof are
contractual and not mere recitals.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower and Lender have executed this Modification and Extension
Promissory Note and Security Agreement No. 2 under seal as of the Agreement Date and made and
agreed to be effective as of the Effective Date.
