EX-10.16 LOAN AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT 10.16

LOAN AGREEMENT

     THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (together with all schedules annexed hereto from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into this 9th day of October, 2008, between PEOPLES STATE BANK OF COMMERCE, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee (“Lender”), and HOME FEDERAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (“Borrower”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Definitions Schedule annexed hereto. All schedules annexed hereto are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

SECTION 1. LOANS AND TERMS OF REPAYMENT

          1.1 Revolver Loans.

               (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to establish the Commitment pursuant to which Lender shall make loans to Borrower (each a “Revolver Loan”) from time to time, on Borrower’s request therefor, on any Business Day during the Term (other than the last Business Day of the Term), not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time the SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($750,000), which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Lender shall have no obligation to honor any request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date. The proceeds of Revolver Loans may be used by Borrower solely to pay any of the Obligations or to make expenditures for other lawful purposes of Borrower to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement or applicable law. In no event may any Revolver Loans be used to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock, as defined by Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Revolver Loans and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Lender (including the Loan Account) and by the Revolver Note. Requests for funding of a Revolver Loan shall be given to Lender by written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) signed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower, in a form and at a place as may be required by Lender, no later than 12:00 o’clock noon on the Business Day of the requested borrowing. Notices received by Lender after 12:00 o’clock noon shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

               (b) Lender may make extensions of credit under this Agreement based on communications or instructions received from any person believed by Lender to be an Authorized Officer of Borrower, or, at the discretion of Lender, if such extensions of credit are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (including any interest, fees or Lender Expenses) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a notice of borrowing) for a Revolver Loan on the due date of and in an aggregate amount required to pay such Obligations. Lender shall have no obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or when any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default. The proceeds of each Revolver Loan deemed requested by Borrower under this Section 1.1(b) may be disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligations.

          1.2 Payments.

               (a) All payments with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to Lender in dollars on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any offset or counterclaim. Except where evidenced by Notes or other instruments made by Borrower to Lender specifically containing payment provisions in conflict with this Section 1.2 (in which event the conflicting provisions of such instruments shall govern and control), the Obligations shall be due and payable as follows:

               (i) Principal payable on account of the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable immediately upon the Commitment Termination Date;

               (ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on (x) the first day of each month, computed through the last day of the preceding month; and (y) the Commitment Termination Date; and

               (iii) The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be due and payable as and when provided in the Loan Documents, or, if the date of payment is not specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.

               (b) Whenever any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall continue to accrue and shall be payable for such extended period of time. If any amount applied to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such amount had not been made or received. The provisions hereof shall survive the Commitment Termination Date and payment in full of the Obligations.

          1.3 Interest Rates. The principal balance of the Revolver Loans and other Obligations outstanding from time to time shall bear interest from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced or incurred until paid at a variable rate per annum equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus 0.75%. All interest chargeable under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At any time that an Event of Default exists, the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The Prime Rate on the date hereof is 4.50% and therefore the rate of interest in effect hereunder, expressed in simple interest terms as of the date hereof, is 5.25%.

          1.4 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all Lender Expenses. All amounts chargeable to Borrower under this Section 1.4 shall be payable on demand to Lender, and shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans from time to time.

          1.5 Maximum Interest. In no event shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the highest rate permissible under any applicable law, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If any interest is charged or received in excess of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law (“Excess”), Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrower, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or other illegal relationship. The provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be

incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein).

          1.6 Loan Account. Lender shall maintain for its books an account (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations resulting from each Loan, including the amount of principal and interest payable from time to time hereunder. Any failure of Lender to make an entry in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the agreement of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. The entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information therein, provided that if a copy of information contained in the Loan Account is provided to an Obligor, or an Obligor inspects the Loan Account at any time, then the information contained in the Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding on such Obligor for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless such Obligor notifies Lender in writing within 30 days after such Obligor’s receipt of such copy or such Obligor’s inspection of the Loan Account that it disputes the information contained therein.

          1.7 Application of Payments and Collections. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and agrees that Lender shall have the continuing right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time hereafter against the Obligations, in such manner as Lender may deem advisable.

SECTION 2. TERM AND TERMINATION

          2.1 Term. Subject to Lender’s right to cease making Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrower at any time on or after the Commitment Termination Date, the Commitment shall become effective on the date of this Agreement (subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof) and shall expire at the close of business on July 10, 2009 (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

          2.2 Termination; Effect of Termination. Lender may terminate the Commitment, without notice, at any time that an Event of Default exists. The Commitment shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding by or against Borrower. Borrower may terminate the Commitment (in whole, but not in part) by giving Lender at least 60 days prior written notice of Borrower’s desire to terminate the Commitment, which notice shall be irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender). On the date of a termination by Borrower or Lender, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice to or demand upon Borrower and shall be paid to Lender in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. No termination of the Commitment shall in any way affect any of Lender’s rights or remedies, or any of Borrower’s duties or obligations under the Loan Documents, or any Liens held by Lender.

          8.2 Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. If Borrower shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, in its discretion at any time, for Borrower’s account and at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrower under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to Lender by Borrower on demand with interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by Lender under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and without prejudice to Lender’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

          8.3 Further Assurances. Borrower shall take such further actions as Lender shall request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence or give effect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Promptly after Lender’s request therefor, Borrower shall execute or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender such instruments or other documents, and shall take such other action as may be requested by Lender to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

          8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties, provided, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Lender may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Obligations and the Loan Documents.

          8.5 General Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any Indemnified Claim that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Indemnified Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees under any environmental laws. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of Lender, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by Lender or any Obligor on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other

Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Borrower shall pay (or shall promptly reimburse Lender for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Indemnified Claims incurred by any Indemnitee as a direct and proximate result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower with respect to each indemnity given by it under any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination of the Commitment and payment in full of the Obligations.

          8.6 Interpretation; Severability. Section headings and section numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise, as this Agreement has been reviewed and prepared by all parties hereto. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for purposes of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

          8.7 Indulgences Not Waivers. Lender’s failure at any time or times to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision.

          8.8 Modification; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally; supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and inducements regarding the same subject matter, and, together with the other Loan Documents, represents the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Counterparts of each of the Loan Documents may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail and the effectiveness of each such Loan Document and signatures thereon shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals.

          8.9 Governing Law; Consent to Forum. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in Atlanta, Georgia, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (but without regard to conflict of law provisions) of the State of Georgia. Borrower hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal court sitting in or with direct or indirect jurisdiction over the Middle District of Tennessee or any state or superior court sitting in Williamson County, Tennessee, in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and Borrower irrevocably agrees that all claims and demands in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Lender reserves the right to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to preclude the enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

          8.10 Waiver of Certain Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby knowingly and intelligently waives (with the benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own choosing): (i) the right to trial by jury (which Lender hereby also waives) in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of, related to or based in any way upon any of the

Loan Documents, or the Obligations; (ii) any claim against Lender on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any of the Loan Documents, any transaction thereunder, the enforcement of any remedies by Lender or the use of any proceeds of any Loans; and (iii) notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Lender.
