Section 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the Swingline Commitment. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b) Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e) Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Revolving Loan Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower in respect of which the Agent has not either (x) received a Notice of Borrowing or a Competitive Bid Request indicating that such Swingline Loan is to be repaid with the proceeds thereof within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swingline Loan was made or (y) received notice from the Borrower that it intends to repay such Swingline Loan within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swingline Loan was made and, in the case of this clause (y) only, such Swingline Loan is not repaid by 11:30 a.m. on such date, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably direct the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) from the Revolving Loan Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The limitations of Section 3.5(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such borrowing, and the Agent shall promptly give notice to the Revolving Loan Lenders of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans. No later than 2:00 p.m. on such date, each Revolving Loan Lender will make available to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Revolving Loan Lender. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Loan Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described in Sections 10.1(f) or 10.1(g), each Revolving Loan Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount (regardless of whether the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, whether or not the Borrower has submitted a Notice of Borrowing and whether or not the Revolving Loan Commitments are then in effect, any Event of Default exists or all the Loans have been accelerated) and paying the proceeds thereof to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Revolving Loan Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving Loan Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender's demand therefor, and until such time as such Revolving Loan Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Loan Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Loan Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). A Revolving Loan Lender's obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Loan Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1(f) or 10.1(g)) or the termination of any Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Upon the receipt by Swingline Lender of any payment in respect of any Swingline Loan, Swingline Lender shall promptly pay to each Revolving Loan Lender that has acquired and funded a participation therein under this Section 2.2(e) such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such payment; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Loan Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it.

Section 2.3 Competitive Advances.

(a) For so long as Parkway Properties maintains a Credit Rating of BBB- or better from S&P and Baa3 or better from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Termination Date, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may request and each Revolving Loan Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion make Competitive Advances to Borrower in such principal amounts as Borrower may request pursuant to a Competitive Bid Request that do not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Competitive Advance Notes (after giving effect to all amounts requested thereunder) being in excess of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes (other than the Term Notes) (after giving effect to all amounts requested thereunder) plus the Letter of Credit Liabilities being in excess of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(b) Borrower shall request Competitive Advances by submitting a duly completed Competitive Bid Request to the Agent, which Competitive Bid Request shall specify the relevant date, amount and maturity for the proposed Competitive Advance. Each request shall be for an advance on the basis of a margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and shall have a maturity date equal to one of the Interest Periods (subject to the limitations therein.) Any Competitive Bid Requests shall be accompanied by payment of a nonrefundable $1,000 competitive bid request fee for the account of the Agent. Any Competitive Advance shall be a LIBOR Loan. The proposed funding date shall be a Business Day. The Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any Competitive Bid Request purportedly made by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, which hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting. The Competitive Bid Request must be received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day that is at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Advance.

(c) Each Competitive Bid Request must be made for a Competitive Advance of at least $3,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(e) The Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Competitive Bid Request, provide the Revolving Loan Lenders a copy thereof by telecopier. Any Revolving Loan Lender may, by written notice to the Agent, advise the Agent that it elects not to be so notified of Competitive Bid Requests, in which case the Agent shall not notify such Revolving Loan Lender of the Competitive Bid Request.

(f) Each Revolving Loan Lender receiving a Competitive Bid Request may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make or not make a Competitive Bid responsive to the Competitive Bid Request. A Revolving Loan Lender shall have no obligation to make a Competitive Bid. Each Competitive Bid shall be submitted so as to be received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (or, in the case of the Revolving Loan Lender acting as Agent, not later than 9:00 a.m.) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Competitive Advance. Any Competitive Bid received by the Agent after 10:00 a.m. (or 9:00 a.m. in the case of the Revolving Loan Lender acting as Agent) on such date shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement. The Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any Competitive Bid purportedly made by a Responsible Officer of a Revolving Loan Lender, each of which hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting with respect to that Revolving Loan Lender.

(g) Each Competitive Bid shall specify the margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the offered Maximum Competitive Advance set forth in the Competitive Bid. The Maximum Competitive Advance offered by a Revolving Loan Lender in a Competitive Bid shall not exceed the Competitive Advance requested and may be less than the Competitive Advance requested by Borrower in the Competitive Bid Request, but shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Any Competitive Bid which offers an interest rate other than a margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, is in a form other than as set forth in Exhibit C or which otherwise contains any term, condition, qualification or provision not contained in the Competitive Bid Request (including without limitation a requirement of a minimum advance) or is received after the time set forth in this Section 2.3(g) shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement.

If Borrower accepts any Competitive Bid, by telephone or in writing (provided that any acceptance by telephone shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy of such acceptance signed by Borrower), the following shall apply: (i) Borrower must accept all Competitive Bids at all lower margins over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate before accepting any portion of a Competitive Bid at a higher margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, (ii) if two (2) or more Revolving Loan Lenders have submitted a Competitive Bid at the same margin, then Borrower must accept either all of such Competitive Bids or accept such Competitive Bids in the same proportion as the Maximum Competitive Advance of each Revolving Loan Lender bears to the aggregate Maximum Competitive Advances of all such Revolving Loan Lenders, (iii) Borrower may not accept Competitive Bids for an aggregate amount in excess of the requested Competitive Advance set forth in the Competitive Bid Request, and (iv) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bids accepted must be at least $3,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Acceptance by Borrower of a Competitive Bid must be made prior to 12:00 noon on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Competitive Advance. Acceptance of a Competitive Bid by Borrower shall be accomplished by telephonic or written notification thereof to the Agent (provided that any acceptance by telephone shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy of such acceptance signed by Borrower) and shall be irrevocable upon such notification. The Agent shall promptly notify each of the Revolving Loan Lenders whose Competitive Bid has been accepted by Borrower by telephone, which notification shall promptly be confirmed in writing delivered in person or by telecopier to such Revolving Loan Lenders. Any Competitive Bid not accepted or rejected by Borrower by 12:00 noon, on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Competitive Advance, shall be deemed rejected.

The Agent shall then promptly make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of the Competitive Advances made available to the Agent by crediting such amount in immediately available funds to the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of Agent.

(l) The Agent shall notify Borrower and the Revolving Loan Lenders promptly after any Competitive Advance is made of the amounts and maturity of such Competitive Advances, the identity of the Revolving Loan Lenders making such Competitive Advances, and the margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Competitive Advances.

(m) The Competitive Advances made by a Revolving Loan Lender shall be evidenced by that Revolving Loan Lender's Competitive Advance Note.

(n) Each Competitive Advance shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement generally, provided, however, that a Competitive Advance shall not reduce a Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment or a Revolving Loan Lender's obligation to fund its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Loan or to participate in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit. No Competitive Advance may be prepaid prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period without the prior written consent of the affected Revolving Loan Lender.

Section 2.4 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date one or more Standby Letters of Credit up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount with respect thereto.

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the amount of any Standby Letter of Credit be less than $300,000, or (ii) the expiration date of any Standby Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(c) Requests for Issuance of Standby Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Issuing Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Standby Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Standby Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Standby Letter of Credit (i) the proposed initial Stated Amount, (ii) the beneficiary or beneficiaries, and (iii) the proposed expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary letter of credit application forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing Lender. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and subject to Section 2.15 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Standby Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary and will notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Standby Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Lender from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Lender as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Lender to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, the Issuing Lender's failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Issuing Lender of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Issuing Lender shall promptly pay to each Revolving Loan Lender that has acquired and funded a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.4(i) such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of such payment; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Loan Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in Section 2.4(d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent and the Issuing Lender whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related demand for payment. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent and the Issuing Lender, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent shall give each Revolving Loan Lender prompt notice (which shall be no later than 12:00 p.m.) of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of Section 2.4(j) shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.5(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Issuing Lender's Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligation. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Issuing Lender shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent, the Issuing Lender nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent's, the Issuing Lender's or any Lender's rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create against the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, any beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit, the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any draft, certificate, demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non‑application or misapplication by the beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit or any other Person of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft, certificate, demand, statement or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (H) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (I) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (J) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (K) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender's good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (L) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (M) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (N) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9, but not in limitation of the Borrower's unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the Issuing Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Lender of any extension, amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Issuing Lender), and no such extension, amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such extended, amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Revolving Loan Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such extension, amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under Section 3.6(c).

(i) Revolving Loan Lenders' Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Revolving Loan Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Lender to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Lender's liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Loan Lender to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(j), such Revolving Loan Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Loan Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Lender by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(ii)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Revolving Loan Lenders. Each Revolving Loan Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing Lender under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(d). Each such Revolving Loan Lender's obligation to make such payments to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender under this subsection, and the Issuing Lender's right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Loan Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Obligor, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) or 10.1(g), or (iv) the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Revolving Loan Lenders. Upon the request of any Revolving Loan Lender from time to time, the Issuing Lender shall deliver to such Revolving Loan Lender information reasonably requested by such Revolving Loan Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection and in Section 2.4(c), the Issuing Lender shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing Lender to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations under Section 2.4(j).

Section 2.5 Term Loan.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make the Term Loan to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loan Lender's Term Loan Commitment. There shall only be a single advance of proceeds of the Term Loan. Any amount of the Term Loan that is repaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Requesting the Term Loan. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of the borrowing of the Term Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent (i) before 11:00 a.m. in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Date. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing sent to the Agent by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. The Agent will transmit by telecopy the Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in such Notice of Borrowing) or the information contained in a telephonic notice of borrowing (if such telephonic notice is received prior to a Notice of Borrowing) to each Term Loan Lender promptly upon receipt by the Agent. The Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of such borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.

(c) Disbursements of Term Loan Proceeds. On the Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, on the Effective Date.

Section 2.6 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin (utilizing the applicable "Base Rate Margin" as identified in the definition of Applicable Margin, it being acknowledged that the Applicable Margin may be a negative number, the addition of which will result in an interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans which is lower than the corresponding Base Rate);

(ii) during such periods as such Loan (other than a Competitive Advance) is a LIBOR Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin (utilizing the applicable "LIBOR Margin" as identified in the definition of Applicable Margin); and

(iii) with respect to each Competitive Advance, at the margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan on the first day of each calendar month, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor (provided, however, if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan exceeds ninety (90) days, interest shall also be payable with respect to such Loans on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, as applicable), and (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment, prepayment or Continuation thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Continued or Converted). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.7 Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than eight (8) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans (including Competitive Advances) outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.8 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans, together with all other amounts relating to the Revolving Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans, together with all other amounts relating to the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, on the Term Loan Termination Date.

Section 2.9 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Section 3.5 and Section 4.4, the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day's prior written notice of the prepayment of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan. If any of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is prepaid at any time prior to April 27, 2007, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders (a) an amount equal to the following (calculated for the period commencing on the date of such prepayment and ending on April 27, 2007): (i) the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid times (ii) a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans in effect at the time of such prepayment and (b) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.4. in connection with such prepayment. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amount payable by it in connection with the prepayment of the Term Loans is a reasonable calculation of the Term Loan Lenders' lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from the prepayment of the Term Loans.

(b) Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Competitive Advances, exceeds the amount of the total Revolving Loan Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Revolving Loan Lenders the amount of such excess. Such payment shall be applied by the Agent to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time the remainder, if any, shall be deposited by the Agent into the Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

Section 2.10 Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any Revolving Loan or Term Loan that is a LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower's giving to the Agent a Notice of Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any such LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, or shall fail to give a timely Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Base Rate Loan, or if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into (or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan, continue as) a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11 or the Borrower's failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11 Conversion.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower's giving of a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan of one Type into a Revolving Loan or Term Loan, respectively, of another Type. Any Conversion of a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan that is a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Borrowing shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Borrowing specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Revolving Loan or Term Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Revolving Loan or Term Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Revolving Loan such Revolving Loan, or the Type of Term Loan such Term Loan, is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.12 Notes.

(a) Revolving Note. The Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit K (each a "Revolving Note"), payable to the order of such Revolving Loan Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b) Term Note. The Term Loans made by each Term Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit L (each a "Term Note"), payable to the order of such Term Loan Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Term Loan Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(c) Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

(d) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13 Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Competitive Advances) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each Revolving Loan Lender. The Revolving Loan Commitments may not be reduced below $100,000,000 in the aggregate unless the Borrower terminates the Revolving Loan Commitments in their entirety, and, once terminated or reduced, the Revolving Loan Commitments may not be increased or reinstated. Any reduction in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Competitive Advances.

Section 2.14 Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Loan Termination Date.

If on the date (the "Revolving Facility Termination Date") the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on the Revolving Facility Termination Date, pay to the Agent an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Issuing Lender to notify the Agent, and authorizes the Agent to pay to the Issuing Lender monies deposited in the Collateral Account for Issuing Lender to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If no drawing occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall withdraw the monies deposited in the Collateral Account with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit on or before the date fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and apply such funds to the Obligations, if any, then due and payable in the order prescribed by Section 10.3.

Section 2.15 Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at no time may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Competitive Advances and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments at such time.

Section 2.16 Increase of Revolving Loan Commitments.

Subject to the approval of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower shall have the right to request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments (provided that there shall be no more than two (2) such increases and the aggregate amount of such increases in the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not exceed $110,000,000) by providing written notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given. Each such increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $20,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of such request. Each existing Revolving Loan Lender shall have the right to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment by an amount so that such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage shall not be decreased as a result of such requested increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments. All other allocations of such requested increase shall be subject to the approval of the Agent. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall notify the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Agent's notice whether such Revolving Loan Lender wishes to increase the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment. If a Revolving Loan Lender fails to deliver any such notice to the Agent within such time period, then such Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment. No Revolving Loan Lender shall be required to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment and any new Revolving Loan Lender(s) becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. In the event a new Revolving Loan Lender or Revolving Loan Lenders become a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Loan Lender agrees to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment, such Revolving Loan Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Loan Lender hereunder (or increases its Revolving Loan Commitment, in the case of an existing Revolving Loan Lender) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Loan Lenders its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage (as determined after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Loan Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Revolving Loan Lenders at the Principal Office, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Revolving Loan Lender plus (b) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Loan Lenders under Sections 2.2(e) or 2.4(j) which have not been repaid, and the Borrower shall pay to such other Revolving Loan Lenders interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall also pay to the Revolving Loan Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Loan Lenders under Section 4.4 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. No increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments may be effected under this Section if either (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Obligor in any Loan Document to which any such Obligor is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection, (A) any Revolving Loan Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (B) the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that each new Revolving Loan Lender, and any existing Revolving Loan Lender increasing its Revolving Loan Commitment, receives a new or replacement Revolving Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment and a Competitive Advance Note within two (2) Business Days of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver to the other Revolving Loan Lenders replacement Competitive Advance Notes increasing the principal face amount thereof to fifty percent (50%) of the new total Revolving Loan Commitment.

Section 2.17 Advances by Agent.

Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent on the date of the requested borrowing and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender and such Lender shall be liable to Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.18 Extension of Revolving Loan Termination Date.

Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the one-time right to extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date to April 27, 2011 upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of such extension of the Revolving Loan Termination Date:

(a) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the "Extension Request") to Agent not later than the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(b) Payment of the Extension Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent the extension fee pursuant to Section 3.6(e).

(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is submitted and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date (as determined without regard to such extension), there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(d) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the other Obligors and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the other Obligors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the other Obligors and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the other Obligors in connection therewith or after the date thereof (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date)) shall have been true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is made and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date (as determined without regard to such Extension Request).

Each Extension Request shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied on the date of such Extension Request. The Borrower shall not have the right to make an Extension Request at any time after the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time from any special or general deposit account of Borrower with the Agent. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt. If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

Section 3.3 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or an Obligor through the exercise of any right of set‑off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to some or all of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the applicable Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3. To such end, all the applicable Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set‑off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4 Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5 Minimum Amounts.

(a) Borrowings and Conversions. Each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing and each Conversion of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) Prepayments. Each voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loan or Term Loans then outstanding).

Section 3.6 Fees.

(a) Unused Fee. For so long as Borrower is not required to pay the facility fee pursuant to Section 3.6(b), Borrower agrees to pay Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender an annual unused fee calculated at the rate per annum set forth below on the average daily amount by which the total Revolving Loan Commitment exceeds the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans plus the face amount of the Letters of Credit during such calendar quarter for the period from and including the Agreement Date to but excluding earliest to occur of (i) the date the total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated or reduced to zero or the Revolving Loan Termination Date or (ii) the date upon which Parkway Properties obtains a Credit Rating of BBB- or better from S&P and Baa3 or better from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇. The unused fee shall be calculated based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the average daily amount of the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans plus the face amount of the Letters of Credit during such calendar quarter to (b) the total Revolving Loan Commitment as follows:

Ratio of Outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans to total Revolving Loan Commitment	Rate
50% or less	0.200%
Greater than 50%	0.125%

Such fee to be paid in arrears on (i) the last Business Day of March, June, September and December, (ii) the Revolving Loan Termination Date (provided Parkway Properties has not obtained a Credit Rating of BBB- or better from S&P and Baa 3 or better from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date), and (iii) the date upon which Parkway Properties obtains such Credit Rating from both Rating Agencies.

(b) Facility Fees. Commencing on the date upon which Parkway Properties obtains a Credit Rating of BBB- or better from S&P and Baa3 or better from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, then in lieu of the unused fee payable pursuant to Section 3.6(a), Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender an annual facility fee equal to the average daily amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Revolving Loan Lender (whether or not utilized) times the Facility Fee (utilizing the "Applicable Facility Fee Percentage" as identified in the definition of Facility Fee) for the period from and including the date upon which Parkway Properties obtains both such Credit Ratings from both Rating Agencies to but excluding the date such Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated or reduced to zero or the Revolving Loan Termination Date, such fee to be paid in arrears on (w) the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, (x) the date of each reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments (but only on the amount of the reduction), and (y) on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender only, and not the account of any other Revolving Loan Lender, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit at the rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be non-refundable and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, on the Revolving Loan Termination Date and on the date the Revolving Loan Commitments are reduced to zero.

(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance or extension of such Letter of Credit (A) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated or (B) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. Such fees shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, on the Revolving Loan Termination Date, and on the date the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero.

(iii) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Issuing Lender from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

(d) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing from time to time.

(e) Extension Fee. Borrower agrees to pay Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender an extension fee concurrently with the extension of the Revolving Loan Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.18 equal to fifteen one-hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of the total Revolving Loan Commitment.

Section 3.7 Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.8 Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.2(c), Section 2.3 and Section 2.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, up‑front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, unused fee, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or "breakage" charges, increased cost charges, attorneys' fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, or any other similar amounts are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have imposed no minimum borrowing requirements, reserve or escrow balances or compensating balances related in any way to the Obligations. Any use by Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of Borrower. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.10 Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, Letters of Credit, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.11 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Generally. If for any reason any Lender (a "Defaulting Lender") shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of two (2) Business Days after notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender's right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender's Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under Section 3.11(b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender's curing of its default.

(b) Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender's Commitment. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Lender's Commitment. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender's Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth (5^th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee approved by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for the purchase price provided for below or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except as expressly provided in this Section 3.11(b)). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender's interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 12.5(d), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.11(a). The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

Section 3.12 Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, and (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender's assets, net income, receipts or branch profits (such non‑excluded items being collectively called "Taxes"). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (but only so long as such Lender or participant is or remains lawfully able to do so) such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or participant indicating whether payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax or (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or participant of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax by reason of the application of the provisions of a treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise wholly exempt; provided that nothing herein (including, without limitation, the failure or inability to provide any of such certificates, documents or other evidence) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section 3.12. In addition, any such Lender or participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (but only so long as such Lender or participant is or remains lawfully able to do so) further copies of any such certificate, document or other evidence on or before the date that any such certificate, document or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete.

ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.12(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b) Lender's Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 4.1(a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall apply).

(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Lender of issuing (or any Revolving Loan Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Lender or any Revolving Loan Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Loan Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of demand, to the Agent for its account or the account of the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Lender or a Revolving Loan Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Loan Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to compensation for any such amount relating to any period ending more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, first notifies the Borrower in writing thereof. The Agent and or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 4.3 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender's obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall be applicable).

Section 4.4 Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Upon the Borrower's request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Each Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender and may include, without limitation, administrative costs as a component of such loss, cost or expense. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 4.5 Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12 or 4.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or 4.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of such request for compensation or suspension, as applicable, may either (i) demand that such Lender (the "Affected Lender"), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or (ii) pay to the Affected Lender the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, whereupon the Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower's sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower's obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.12, 4.1 or 4.4.

Section 4.6 Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b), 4.2 or 4.3, then such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1(b) or 4.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender's LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower and the other Obligors and the creditors of such Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than "reasonably equivalent value" (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and "valuable consideration," "fair value," and "fair consideration" (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Obligations, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and the other Obligors to have available financing to conduct and expand their business. The Borrower and the other Obligors constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement to the Borrower.

(ee) Property. All of the Borrower's, the other Obligors' and their respective Subsidiaries' properties are in good repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, other than with respect to deferred maintenance existing as of the date of acquisition of such property as permitted in this Section. The Borrower has completed or caused to be completed an appropriate investigation of the environmental condition of each Property as of the later of the date of the Borrower's, the Obligors' or the applicable Subsidiary's purchase thereof or the date upon which such property was last security for Indebtedness of such Persons, including preparation of a "Phase I" report and, if appropriate, a "Phase II" report, in each case prepared by a recognized environmental engineer in accordance with customary standards which discloses that such property is not in violation of the representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement, unless such violation has been disclosed in writing to the Agent and remediation actions satisfactory to Agent are being taken. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries which are delinquent. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.1(ee) hereto, there are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any taking authority which may, in all such events, individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged or injured as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate would have any Material Adverse Effect.

(ff) No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(gg) Subordination. None of the Borrower or any other Obligor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time of payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of any of such Persons.

(hh) Tax Shelter Representation. The Borrower does not intend to treat the Loans, and/or related transactions as being a "reportable transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event the Borrower determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the Agent thereof. If the Borrower so notifies the Agent, the Borrower acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Loans as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, will maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

(ii) Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(i) None of the Borrower or any other Obligor or any of their Affiliates is in violation of any laws or regulations relating to terrorism or money laundering ("Anti-Terrorism Laws"), including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the "Executive Order") and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56.

(ii) None of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their Affiliates, or any of their brokers or other agents acting or benefiting from the Loan is a Prohibited Person. A "Prohibited Person" is any of the following:

(1) a person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;

(2) a person or entity owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order;

(3) a person or entity with whom any Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law;

(4) a person or entity who commits, threatens or conspires to commit or supports "terrorism" as defined in the Executive Order; or

(5) a person or entity that is named as a "specially designated national and blocked person" on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Asset Control at its official website or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list.

(iii) None of the Borrower or any other Obligor, any of their Affiliates or any of their brokers or other agents acting in any capacity in connection with the Loan (1) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person, (2) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order, or (iii) engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

(iv) Borrower and the other Obligors shall not (1) conduct any business or engage in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person, (ii) deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law (and Borrower shall deliver to Agent any certification or other evidence requested from time to time by Agent in its reasonable discretion, confirming Borrower's and the other Obligors' compliance herewith).

All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Agreement Date, the Effective Date and the date of the occurrence of any Credit Event, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically permitted hereunder.

Section 10.3 Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated, all payments received by the Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(a) amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders in respect of fees and expenses due under Sections 3.6 and 12.2;

(b) payments of interest on Swingline Loans;

(c) payments of interest on all other Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, pro rata among the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders based upon the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Term Loans (and as to the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans);

(d) payments of principal of Swingline Loans;

(e) payments of principal of all other Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, pro rata among the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders based upon the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Term Loans (and as to the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans);

(f) amounts to be deposited into the Collateral Account in respect of Letters of Credit (to be applied as provided in Section 10.3);

(g) amounts due the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 11.7 and 12.9;

(i) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

Section 10.4 Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section and in Section 2.14.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to exercise any and all rights of the Borrower in respect of the Collateral Account and to give all instructions, directions and entitlement orders in respect thereof as Agent shall deem necessary or desirable. Agent is authorized by the Borrower to file such financing statements as Agent may deem necessary in connection with the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional documents as Agent may reasonably request at any time in connection with the administration or enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral Account. For the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, Georgia shall be deemed to be the location and jurisdiction of Agent, the Collateral Account and any securities entitlements relating thereto. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Requisite Revolving Loan Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Collateral Account for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders to the payment of any of the Letter of Credit Liabilities due and payable.

(d) If (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all of the Letter of Credit Liabilities have been paid in full, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent's administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 10.5 Performance by Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post‑Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.6 Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

ARTICLE XI. THE AGENT

Section 11.1 Authorization and Action.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein (including the use of the term "Agent") shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender nor to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, any Obligor or any other Affiliate of the Borrower or any Obligor, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

Section 11.2 Agent's Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.

Section 11.3 Notice of Defaults.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a "notice of default." Further, if the Agent receives such a "notice of default", the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.4 Wachovia Bank as Lender.

Wachovia Bank, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wachovia Bank in each case in its individual capacity. Wachovia Bank and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.

Section 11.5 Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender's determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except with respect to items requiring the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders under Section 12.6, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 11.6 Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Obligors, and their respective Subsidiaries, or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Obligors, their respective Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent's legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

Section 11.7 Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender's respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, "Indemnifiable Amounts"); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the reasonable advice of counsel of which the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent's own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any "lender liability" suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.8 Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as the Agent). Any such removal or resignation shall also constitute Agent's resignation as Swingline Lender and may, at such Agent's option, also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent, in the case of the removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent and Swingline Lender, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000, which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be subject to the Borrower's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and its affiliates as a successor Agent and Swingline Lender). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders' removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent or Swingline Lender hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent and Swingline Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents as Agent and Swingline Lender. After any Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and all provisions of this Agreement relating to Swingline Loans shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent or Swingline Lender under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.9 Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of "Sole Lead Arranger and Book Runner", "Co-Documentation Agent" and "Syndication Agent" are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Promptly following any such set-off the Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off.

Section 12.4 Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

(b) THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.5 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

(b) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to the Borrower.

(c) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, (i) any such participating interest must be for a constant and not a varying percentage interest, (ii) no Lender may grant a participating interest in its Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, or if any of the Commitments have been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Notes or Term Notes held by it, in an amount less than $5,000,000 and (iii) after giving effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, or if any of the Commitments have been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Notes or Term Notes held by it, in which it has not granted any participating interests must be equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender's Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12(d)). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 12.5(d) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (c). The selling Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested by the Agent, certify to the Agent that such participation is permitted hereunder.

(d) Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an "Assignee") all or a portion of its Commitment and its other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment to (x) another Lender, any affiliate of such Lender or of another Lender, and no such consent by the Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any affiliate of such Lender; (ii) any partial assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment or a Term Loan Commitment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and after giving effect to such partial assignment the assigning Lender retains a portion of the Commitment so assigned, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds Revolving Notes or Term Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided, however, the conditions set forth in this subsection (ii) shall not apply to any full assignment by any Lender of its Commitment); and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. In connection with such assignment, the assignor may assign all or any portion of its Competitive Advance Note and the Competitive Advances at the time owing to it, which, if so assigned, shall be assigned in such proportion as the assignor and assignee agree, but in no event shall the assignee acquire an interest in the Competitive Advances of the assignor of less than $10,000,000; provided, however, that in the event such assignor assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment, such assignor shall assign all of its Competitive Advance Note and Competitive Advances, if any, in connection therewith. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (d), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that any Lender acting as Agent shall at any time assign all or a portion of its Commitment and as a result thereof such Lender holds a Commitment less than the lesser of (i) the Commitment of such Lender as of the Agreement Date (or the date such Lender first became a party to this Agreement) and (ii) the Commitment of the Lender holding the second largest Commitment as of the Agreement Date, then such Lender shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Requisite Lenders (excluding the Lender acting as Agent) shall have the right, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such notice by such Lender acting as Agent, to elect to remove such Lender as Agent and replace such Lender as Agent, subject to the terms of §11.8; provided, however, the Lender then acting as Agent shall not be subject to the restriction contained in the foregoing clause if the Lender holding the second largest Commitment as of the Agreement Date increases its Commitment as a result of the Borrower's election to increase the aggregate commitments in accordance with Section 2.15 of this Agreement or as a result of a merger or other combination with another Lender.

(e) The Agent shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in Section 12.5(d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(f) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(g) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 12.8.

(h) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(i) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.6 Amendments.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following: (i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (except as contemplated by Section 2.16) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or Fees or other Obligations; (iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder; (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Termination Date; (v) change the Commitment Percentages (except as a result of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments contemplated by Section 2.16, 3.11(b) or 4.5) or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2; (vi) modify the definition of the term "Requisite Lenders", modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders (including all of the Lenders) required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section if such modification would have such effect; or (vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12(c)). Further, no amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.2 or the obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4 or the obligations or rights of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Issuing Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.7 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

100

The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower's business or operations.

Section 12.8 Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by the Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to the Agent's or such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the extent such information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 12.9 Indemnification.

101

(a) Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12 or 4.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an "Indemnity Proceeding") which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent's or any Lender's entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower, the other Obligors, or their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower, the other Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this clause (viii) that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower, the Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries (or their respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective Subsidiaries) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws.

(b) The Borrower's indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all reasonable costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any shareholder, partner or other equity holder of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) or such other Persons are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of such Person), any account debtor of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or by any Governmental Authority.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower and/or an Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third‑persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

102

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnified Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnified Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party.

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g) The Borrower's obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated, (c) none of the Lenders nor the Swingline Lender is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12, 4.1, 4.4, 11.7, 12.2 and 12.9 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.4, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.12 GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 12.13 Counterparts.

Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent's or any Lender's affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

The Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, the Borrower and each Lender.
