Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by each Borrower of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loan or the benefit of such Loans or any Letter of Credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Bank accounts for such Loans or Letters of Credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to, or Letters of Credit issued on behalf of, any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of each Borrower and that Bank is relying on the joint and several liability of each Borrower in extending the Loans and issuing Letters of Credit hereunder.  The Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agree that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, the Borrowers shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand, if such default is not cured within any applicable grace period.

2.15           Unconditional Nature of Liability.  Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other obligor or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, granting of any indulgence or departure from any Loan Document provision by Bank with respect to any of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrowers and delivered to Bank, (iv) the failure by Bank to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of any security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or Bank’s release or exchange of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Bank’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or waiver of any Default or Event of Default thereunder (but subject to the terms of such amendment, modification or waiver), (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Bank’s claims against another Borrower for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor as a result of their status as a guarantor, surety or other obligor under law or equity.  At any time an Event of Default exists, Bank may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor, against any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower, guarantor, surety or other obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision that might otherwise require any Bank under applicable law to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor before pursuing such Borrower, such guarantor, such surety or such  other obligor.  Each Borrower consents and agrees that Bank shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

29

2.16           No Reduction in Liability for Obligations.  No payment or payments made by a Borrower, guarantor, surety or other obligor or received or collected by Bank from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower, guarantor, surety or other obligor under this Agreement or any Loan Document, each of which shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all outstanding Loans and other Obligations until the Obligation are paid in full, the Revolver Loan Commitment is terminated and all Letters of Credit have terminated, or Bank has been provided with either cash collateral or a back-up letter of credit as provided in Section 2.19 hereof.

2.17           Subordination.  Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or any other obligor, and any successor or assignee of any other Borrower, any guarantor, any surety or other obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the payment in full of all of the Obligations; provided, however, that (a) any Borrower (other than Parent) may make payments to Parent for its allocable share of taxes, and (b) any Borrower may make payments to another Borrower (i) for goods and services, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default is in existence at such time or after giving effect thereto, as repayments of Permitted Investments made by the payee in the payor.

2.18           [Intentionally omitted].

2.19           Termination of Revolver Loan Commitment.  Upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Bank (or such shorter advance notice as may be agreed to by Bank), Borrowers (acting through Parent) may, at their option, terminate this Agreement and the Revolver Loan Commitment in its entirety, but not partially; provided however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until the full and final payment of the Obligations in cash or immediately available funds and in the case of any Obligations consisting of contingent obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit, Bank’s receipt of either cash or a direct pay letter of credit naming Bank as beneficiary and in form and substance and from an issuing  bank acceptable to Bank, in each case in an amount not less than 105% of the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all such Letters of Credit.

30

2.20           Voluntary Reduction of Revolver Loan Amount.  The Revolver Loan Amount shall be reduced from time to time, at the Borrowers’ option, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof from Parent to Bank specifying (i) the amount by which the Revolver Loan Amount is to be reduced, (ii) the amount of the Revolver Loan Amount after giving effect to such reduction and (iii) the effective date of such reduction.  Each such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,500,000 (or if greater in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof).  Upon the giving of such notice by Parent in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Revolver Loan Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the effective date of such reduction and the Borrowers shall make any prepayments required by the terms of the last sentence of Section 2.2 of this Agreement in connection therewith.

ARTICLE III

3.             LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1           Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that all “Letters of Credit” defined in and outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement shall constitute Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the terms of this Agreement.  Subject to the terms hereof, Parent, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue, and Bank shall issue, additional Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day in an aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Commitment on such Business Day.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrowers or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days before the Revolver Loan Maturity Date, or (ii) one year after the date of issuance thereof, but excluding customary “evergreen” Letters of Credit so long as Borrowers deliver to Bank, not later than (30) days before the Revolver Loan Maturity Date in the case of any “evergreen” Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the Revolver Loan Maturity Date, immediately available funds equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure to be held as cash collateral for Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations.  In order for a Letter of Credit to be issued, a Parent’s Representative shall deliver a Notice of Issuance to Bank not later than 10:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on a date not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date the issuance of such Letter of Credit is sought, such Notice of Issuance to be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit to be issued.  If (i) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to Bank in its discretion, and (ii) if required by Bank, upon execution and delivery of a Letter of Credit Agreement in the form of Bank’s standard application for standby letter of credit in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, Bank will, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue such Letter of Credit.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

3.2           Reimbursement and Other Payments. The Borrowers agree to pay to Bank immediately upon demand of Bank (i) at the time when Bank shall pay any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, a sum equal to the amount so paid under such Letter of Credit, plus (ii) interest at the Default Rate on any amount remaining unpaid by the Borrowers to Bank under clause (i) above from such time until payment in full.  If Bank is reimbursed for any draw under a Letter of Credit on the same day such draw is honored by Bank, no interest shall accrue on the reimbursement obligations arising from such draw.

31

3.3           Additional Remedies.  In addition to any rights and remedies Bank may otherwise have under this Agreement, if (i) any Trigger Event shall have occurred, Bank may in its discretion by notice to Parent, declare the obligation of Bank to issue any Letter of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the obligation of Bank to issue any Letter of Credit shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, Bank may make demand upon Parent to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrowers will pay to Bank in same day funds at Bank’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special, interest bearing Cash Collateral Account to be maintained at such office of Bank, an amount equal to the maximum amount then available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit.   The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Parent, but under the sole dominion and control of Bank, and shall be held and disbursed as follows:

(A)           Bank may from time to time invest funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, reinvest proceeds of any such investments which may mature or be sold, and invest interest or other income received from any such investments, and all such investments and reinvestments shall, for purposes of this Agreement, constitute part of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account.

(B)           If at any time Bank determines that any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than claims arising under this Agreement and/or that the total amount of such funds is less than the maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by Bank, pay to Bank, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit over (ii) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the Cash Collateral Account which Bank determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

(C)           Parent and each Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over, and grants to Bank a Lien on and upon, the Cash Collateral Account, including all funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations.  Parent and each Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale of any securities shall be required by Law, at least ten (10) Business Days’ Notice to Parent of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Bank may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it will so adjourned.

(D)           Bank (i) will apply funds from time to time held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any Reimbursement Obligation then due and payable, and (ii) after acceleration of the Obligations, may apply such funds to the payment of any other Obligation.

(E)           Neither Parent, nor any Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Parent or any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account after and during the continuance of any Default.  Promptly after all such Defaults have been waived in writing by Bank or otherwise shall have ceased to exist, or after all Letters of Credit have been surrendered for cancellation and all Reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full, Bank shall refund to Parent all amounts in the Cash Collateral Account, and earnings thereon, to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations.

3.4           No Liability of Bank.  Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

32

3.5           Indemnification.  In addition to any other indemnification obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally  indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all Indemnified Losses which Bank may incur or which may be claimed against Bank by any Person by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment or failure to make lawful payment under, any Letter of Credit, other than Indemnified Losses occasioned by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE IV

4.            PAYMENTS, ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC.

4.1           Payment to Bank.

(A)           All monies payable to Bank under this Agreement or under any Note shall be paid directly to Bank in immediately available funds at the Place for Payment.  If Bank shall send Parent statements of amounts due hereunder, such statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on each Borrower unless Parent notifies Bank to the contrary within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect.  Alternatively, at its discretion, Bank may charge against any deposit account of any Borrower all or any part of any amount owed by any Borrower hereunder.

(B)           All payments to be made by Borrowers hereunder will be made to Bank at the Place for Payment not later than 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time).  Payments received at the Place for Payment after 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) shall be deemed to be payments made at the Place for Payment prior to 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge its accounts with Bank in order to cause timely payment of amounts due hereunder to be made.

(C)           At the time of making each such payment, the Borrower making such payment shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to Bank the Loan or other obligation of Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  In the event that such Borrower fails to so specify the relevant Loan or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank may apply such payments as it may determine in its discretion.

4.2           Late Payments.  If any scheduled payment, whether principal, interest or principal and interest, is late ten (10) days or more, the Borrowers agree to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment which is late, but not more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable Laws.  The foregoing provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights Bank may have under this Agreement, including, subject to the terms hereof, the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest immediately due and payable.

4.3           Default Rate.  Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate payable on the Loans shall, at Bank’s option, be the Default Rate.

33

4.4           No Setoff or Deduction.  Except as may otherwise be ordered by any appropriate Governmental Authority, all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable by any Borrower hereunder shall be made by Borrowers without setoff or counterclaim, and, subject to the next succeeding sentence, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature, imposed by any Governmental Authority, or by any department, agency or other political subdivision or taxing authority.  If any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges are imposed (excluding taxes based on Bank’s income, franchise taxes and branch profits, in each case, imposed as a result of such Bank being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office, or its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax), the Borrowers will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account thereof, will not be less than any amount provided to be paid hereunder and, in any such case, Parent will furnish to Bank certified copies of all tax receipts evidencing the payment of such amounts within 30 days after the date any such payment is due pursuant to applicable Laws.

4.5           Payment on Non-Business Day; Payment Computations.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or other amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this Agreement during such extension.

4.6           Indemnification.  If any Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any portion of any Loan not bearing interest at the Daily Adjusted LIBOR Rate on any other date than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto, or if any Borrower fails to borrow the Loans after notice has been given to Bank to borrow at the 30-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the 60-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the 90-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate in accordance with this Agreement, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Loan when due, the Borrowers shall reimburse Bank on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by Bank, including without limitation any loss incurred by Bank in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund any such Loan.  A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Parent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.  Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the portion of the Loan so prepaid or not borrowed through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan in the London interbank market and having a maturity comparable to the related interest period and through the transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of Bank in the United States; provided, however, that Bank may fund the Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this Section.

4.7           Method for Calculating Interest.  All interest payable on the Loans and other Obligations shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the applicable, outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.

4.8           No Requirement to Actually Obtain Funds.  Notwithstanding the fact that the Interest Rate pursuant to any Loan may be calculated based upon Bank’s cost of funds, each Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be required actually to obtain funds from such source at any time.

4.9           Usury Limitation. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable Laws and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or received by Bank, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Parent shall notify Bank in writing that Parent, on behalf of the Borrowers, elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that no Borrower shall pay and Bank shall not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by any Borrower under applicable Laws.

57

10.2           Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of any other Loan Document and any guaranty, pledge or security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, note or other evidence of liability given by any Borrower to Bank to or for the benefit of, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other, and all existing liabilities and obligations of each Borrower to Bank and any Liens heretofore granted to or for the benefit of Bank shall, except and only to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary, remain in full force and effect, and shall not be released, impaired, diminished, or in any other way modified or amended as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by the agreements and undertaking of any Borrower contained herein and therein.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent Bank from enforcing any or all other notes, guaranties, pledges or security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, or security deeds in accordance with their respective terms.  In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Note, any one or more of the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, the provisions most favorable to Bank shall control.

10.6           No Representation, Assumption, or Duty. Nothing, including any Advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any Person by Bank.  Any inspection or audit of the Collateral or the Records of any Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Bank shall be for Bank’s protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility by Bank with respect thereto or relieve any Borrower of any of such Borrower’s obligations.

10.9           Exclusiveness. This Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents, and any other Loan Documents made pursuant hereto are made for the sole protection of each Borrower, Bank, and Bank’s successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have any right of action hereunder.

10.10         Waiver and Release by Borrower. Unless and only to the extent as may be expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, or as may be required (and unwaivable) by applicable Laws, each Borrower (A) waives protest of all commercial paper at any time held by Bank on which any Borrower is any way liable; (B) waives notice of acceleration and of intention to accelerate; (C) waives notice and opportunity to be heard, after acceleration, before exercise by Bank of the remedies of self-help, set-off, or of other summary procedures permitted by any applicable Laws or by any agreement with any Borrower, and except where required hereby or by any applicable Laws which requirement cannot be waived, notice of any other action taken by Bank; and (D) releases Bank and its officers, attorneys, agents and employees from all claims for loss or damage caused by any act or omission on the part of any of them except willful misconduct or gross negligence.

10.11         Limitation on Waiver of Notice, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any applicable Law expressly limits any waiver of any right contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including any waiver of any notice or other demand), such waiver shall be ineffective to such extent.

10.12         Additional Costs. In the event that any applicable Law adopted, becoming effective, phased-in or otherwise becoming applicable after the date of this Agreement, whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) affect the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of any amounts payable by any Borrower under this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Bank, franchise taxes and branch profits, in each case, imposed as a result of such Bank being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office, or its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax), or (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or (iii) impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement, the Note or the Loans, or (iv) affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making, funding or maintaining the any Loan or to reduce the amount of any amount receivable by Bank thereon, then Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Bank from time to time, upon request by Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable to the extent Bank is not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest rate applicable to such Loan.  A statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Parent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.  Failure or delay on the part of Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrowers of the change in applicable Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if such change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

59

10.13         Illegality.  In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful for Bank to make or maintain loans based on LIBOR, upon Bank giving notice thereof to the Parent, Bank may substitute any interest rates based on LIBOR under this Agreement with a comparable interest rate reasonably determined by the Bank (each, a “LIBOR Comparable Interest Rate”), and for so long as any of the foregoing in this Section 10.13 remains in effect, the Loans shall bear interest at such LIBOR Comparable Interest plus the Applicable Margin for the relevant Loan.

10.14         Participation and Assignments. Bank shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to an Eligible Participant in all or any part of the Revolver Loan Commitment, the Revolver Loan, or any other Obligation.  The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of Bank, shall not be entitled to require Bank to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, any Note or any Letter of Credit (unless (i) such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Loan Maturity Date or (ii) such Letter of Credit represents a customary “evergreen” Letters of Credit and Borrowers deliver to Bank, not later than (30) days before the Revolver Loan Maturity Date in the case of any “evergreen” Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the Revolver Loan Maturity Date, immediately available funds equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure to be held as cash collateral for Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of the Default Rate) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolver Loan Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in the Revolver Loan Commitment shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), or (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such participant is participating. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of rights of set-off as though it were Bank.  Bank shall have the right to assign the Revolver Loan Commitment, the Revolver Loan, or its rights under the Loan Documents, in whole or in part, without any Borrower’s prior consent to an Eligible Assignee or during the existence of an Event of Default; otherwise, Bank shall not have the right to make any such assignment without Parent’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

60

10.15         Binding Effect; No Borrower Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No Borrower has any right to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, other than to another Person in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 7.2(B).

10.16         Entire Agreement, Amendments. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and the documents executed and delivered pursuant hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and may be amended only by a writing signed on behalf of each party.

10.17         Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, any Note, or any of the other Loan Documents shall be held invalid under any applicable Laws, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or such other instrument or agreement that can be given effect without the invalid provision, and, to this end, the provisions hereof are severable.

10.18         Headings. The section and paragraph headings hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only, and shall not alter, define, or be used in construing the text of such sections and paragraphs.

10.19         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.20         Seal. This Agreement is intended to take effect as an instrument under seal.

10.21         Confidentiality. Bank shall hold all non-public information regarding each Borrower and its business identified as such by such Borrower and obtained by Bank prior to, on or after the date hereof in connection with the financing described in this Agreement in accordance with Bank’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of  such nature, it being understood and agreed by each Borrower that, in any event, Bank may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of Bank and to their agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by Bank to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.21), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by Bank of the any Loan (provided, such counterparties are advised of and agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.21), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to any Borrower received by it from Bank, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Bank shall promptly notify Parent of each request by any governmental agency or representative thereof, or by any Person pursuant to legal process (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of Bank by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.

11.2           Governing Law. This Agreement is entered into and performable in Xxxxxx County, Georgia, and the substantive Laws, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws, of the United States and the State of Georgia shall govern the construction of this Agreement and the documents executed and delivered pursuant hereto, and the rights and remedies of the parties hereto and thereto, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law requires that the perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection, the priority of Bank’s Lien under the Loan Documents, or the enforcement of certain of Bank’s remedies with respect to the Collateral, be governed by the Laws of another Jurisdiction.

62

11.3           Arbitration.

(A)           Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(B)           Governing Rules.  Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Georgia selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”).  If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control.  Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(C)           No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure.  The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding.  This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(D)           Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers.  Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00.  Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.  The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Georgia or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Georgia, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated.  The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim.  In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.  The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Georgia and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award.  The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Georgia Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

63

(E)           Discovery.  In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules.  All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date.  Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(F)           Class Proceedings and Consolidations.  No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(G)           Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees.  The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(H)           Miscellaneous.  To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.  If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.
