          Lender and Borrowers are parties to a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated October 18, 2002 (as at any time amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender has made certain revolving credit and term loans to Borrowers.

          Events of Default under (and as defined in) the Loan Agreement have occurred, and Borrowers have requested a waiver of such Events of Default.

          The parties also desire to amend the Loan Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

          2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

                    (c) By deleting the definition of “Revolver Commitment” set forth in Annex A to the Loan Agreement in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

 

 

          Revolver Commitment - the commitment of Lender to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 of the Agreement, not to exceed $36,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion).

          3. Limited Waiver of Default. Events of Default have occurred and currently exist under the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrowers’ breach of Sections 9.3.1 and 9.3.2 of the Loan Agreement (the “Designated Defaults”). The Designated Defaults exist because of (i) Borrowers’ failure to comply with the covenant regarding Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 9.3.1 of the Loan Agreement for the period ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) Borrowers’ failure to comply with the covenant regarding Consolidated Total Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA set forth in Section 9.3.2 of the Loan Agreement for the periods ending May 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007. Borrowers represent and warrant that, other than the Designated Defaults, no Default or Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date hereof. Lender hereby waives the Designated Defaults in existence on the date hereof. In no event shall such waiver be deemed to constitute a waiver of (a) any Default or Event of Default other than the Designated Defaults in existence on the date of this Amendment, or (b) each Borrower’s obligation to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents from and after the date hereof. Notwithstanding any prior, temporary mutual disregard of the terms of any contracts between the parties, each Borrower hereby agrees that it shall be required strictly to comply with all of the terms of the Loan Documents on and after the date hereof.

          4. Ratification and Reaffirmation. Each Borrower hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Obligations, each of the Loan Documents and all of such Borrower’s covenants, duties, indebtedness and liabilities under the Loan Documents.

          5. Acknowledgments and Stipulations. Each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed by such Borrower are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower that are enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with the terms thereof; all of the Obligations are owing and payable without defense, offset or counterclaim (and to the extent there exists any such defense, offset or counterclaim on the date hereof, the same is hereby waived by such Borrower); the security interests and liens granted by such Borrower in favor of Lender are duly perfected, first priority security interests and liens; and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans on and as of September 19, 2007, totaled $32,481,938.31.

          6. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender, to induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, that no Default or Event of Default exists on the date hereof other than the Designated Defaults; the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of such Borrower and this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Borrower; and all of the representations and warranties made by such Borrower in the Loan Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.

3



          7. Reference to Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Loan Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

          8. Breach of Amendment. This Amendment shall be part of the Loan Agreement and a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant herein shall constitute an Event of Default.

          9. Amendment Fee; Expenses of Lender. In consideration of Lender’s willingness to enter into this Amendment and waive the Designated Defaults as set forth herein, Borrowers agree to pay to Lender an amendment fee in the amount of $5,000 in immediately available funds on the date hereof. Additionally, Borrowers agree to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and any other Loan Documents executed pursuant hereto and any and all amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto, including, without limitation, the costs and fees of Lender’s legal counsel and any taxes or expenses associated with or incurred in connection with any instrument or agreement referred to herein or contemplated hereby.

          10. Effectiveness; Governing Law. This Amendment shall be effective upon acceptance by Lender in Atlanta, Georgia (notice of which acceptance is hereby waived), whereupon the same shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia.

          11. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

          12. No Novation, etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment, nothing herein shall be deemed to amend or modify any provision of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a novation or accord and satisfaction, and the Loan Agreement as herein modified shall continue in full force and effect.

          13. Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by portable document format via electronic mail shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

          14. Further Assurances. Each Borrower agrees to take such further actions as Lender shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence or give effect to the amendments set forth herein or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          15. Section Titles. Section titles and references used in this Amendment shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreements among the parties hereto.

4



          16. Release of Claims. To induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, each Borrower hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Lender, and all officers, directors, agents, employees, successors and assigns of Lender, from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature (if there be any), whether absolute or contingent, disputed or undisputed, at law or in equity, or known or unknown, that such Borrower now has or ever had against Lender arising under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents or otherwise. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower has not transferred or assigned to any Person any claim that such Borrower ever had or claimed to have against Lender.

          17. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto each hereby waives the right to trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or proceeding arising out of or related to this Amendment.
