          (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each

15


 

party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
          (b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
     4.3 Expenses. Unless expressly set forth to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, each party will pay all of their respective expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, and subject to Section 2.5, the parties will pay all of their respective expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceeding concerning a dispute arising out of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 10.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Employee’s attorney in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement.
     4.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions, obligations and rights of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and administrators; provided that Employee may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Corporation.
     4.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
     4.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York except that no doctrine of choice of law shall be used to apply any law other than that of New York and no defense, counterclaim or right of setoff given or allowed by the laws of any other state or jurisdiction, or arising out of the enactment, modification or repeal of any law, regulation, ordinance or decree of any foreign jurisdiction, be interposed in any action hereon. Employee and the Corporation agree that any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of this Agreement shall be commenced in the courts of the State of Georgia or the United States District Courts in Atlanta, Georgia. Employee and the Corporation consent to such jurisdiction, agree that venue will be proper in such courts and waive any objections based upon forum non conveniens. The choice of forum set forth in this Section 4.6 will not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other jurisdiction.
     4.7 Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent any provision in this Agreement is or will be in violation of Section 409A of the Code, the Agreement shall be amended in such manner as the parties may agree such that the Agreement is or remains in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the

16


 

intent of the parties is maintained to the maximum extent possible. In particular, to the extent that Employee becomes entitled to a payment or benefit under this Agreement that would constitute a “deferral of compensation” under Section 409A of the Code and the date that the payment would be made or benefit provided does not constitute a permitted distribution date under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such payment or benefit will be made or provided, to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, to Employee on the earlier of (a) Employee’s “separation from service” with the Corporation (determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code); provided, however, that if Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A o the Code), Employee’s date of payment shall be the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s separation of service with Corporation, or (b) Employee’s death. Reference to Section 409A of the Code includes any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
     4.8 No Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or prejudice any rights of the Corporation under any other laws.
     4.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including via facsimile transmission, each of which will be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
     4.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions hereof.
     4.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is finally judicially determined to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, the determination will apply only in the jurisdiction in which such final adjudication is made, and such provision will be deemed severed from this Agreement for purposes of such jurisdiction only, but every other provision of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and there will be substituted for any such provision held invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, a provision of similar import reflecting the original intent of the parties to the extent permitted under applicable law.
     4.12 Certain Interpretive Matters.
          (a) Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement, (ii) each term defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it, (iii) words in the singular include the plural and vice versa, and (iv) the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall mean references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any individual section or portion hereof. All references to $ or dollar amounts will be to lawful currency of the United States.
          (b) No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party or his or its counsel

17


 

participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof.

     4.14 Full Understanding. Employee represents and agrees that Employee fully understands Employee’s right to discuss all aspects of this Agreement with Employee’s private attorney, and that to the extent, if any, that Employee desired, Employee utilized this right. Employee further represents and agrees that: (i) Employee has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) Employee is competent to execute this Agreement; (iii) Employee’s agreement to execute this Agreement has not been obtained by any duress and Employee freely and voluntarily enters into it; (iv) Employee is not subject to any covenants, agreements or restrictions arising out of Employee’s prior employment that would be breached or violated by Employee’s execution of this Agreement or performance of duties hereunder; and (v) Employee has read this document in its entirety and fully understands the meaning, intent and consequences of this document.
