transferee and assignee of Wachovia Bank, N.A., at its office where borrowed or at such other place
as Lender hereafter may direct from time to time in writing, Lender’s initial office being 0000

terms contained in this Note. The optional provisions applicable to this Note are checked below.

The Borrower may NOT borrow, repay and reborrow sums up to the principal amount set forth above, as this is considered a term loan, not a revolving line of credit loan. |
Interest:
Payable:
| þ | In arrears due on the nineteenth (19th) day of the calendar month immediately following the Effective Date, and on the nineteenth (19th) day of each calendar-month thereafter up until the Maturity Date; whereupon, all principal and all interest and other charges, fees, costs and/or expenses not then paid shall be due and payable in full without further extension. |

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.

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
collateral, between Borrower and Lender, and also that certain Borrower 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 default or Event of Default (as such term is defined
in
the Related Note) under the Related Note; or (x) 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 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. 1 under seal as of the Agreement Date and made and
agreed to be effective as of the Effective Date.
