 10. RIGHTS OF BANK IN BANKRUPTCY; TOLLING OF CERTAIN
TIME-RELATED DEFENSES. 
 (a) Each
Borrower hereby admits, acknowledges and agrees that Bank’s entry into, and covenants to perform in accordance with, this Agreement and Bank’s consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, constitute “new value” and
“reasonably equivalent value,” as those terms are used in Section 547 and 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), received by Borrowers as of the effective date of this Agreement in
contemporaneous exchange for Borrowers’ entry into, and covenants to perform in accordance with, this Agreement, and Borrowers’ consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all time-related defenses, such as statutes of limitations,
doctrines of estoppel, doctrines of laches or any other rules of law or equity of similar nature, are hereby tolled with respect to all rights, claims and causes of action of any kind whatsoever that Bank may have against Borrowers under the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the time of the effective date of this Agreement through and including the date which is sixty (60) days after the Forbearance Maturity Date. Each Borrower hereby waives all such time-related
defenses to the extent such defenses are hereby tolled. 
 (c) Each Borrower hereby agrees, in its
reasonable business judgment, that if it becomes a debtor or debtor-in-possession under Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, as the case may be, it will not seek injunctive relief against Bank, or otherwise oppose or take
action to, object to, hinder or delay, the exercise of Bank’s rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties that no


  
 22 








 
injunctive relief against Bank shall be sought under Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code by any Borrower, and that no Borrower shall seek any expansion of the stay
provided by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 11. COSTS AND
EXPENSES. Borrowers shall reimburse Bank directly for all costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, Bank’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). 
 12. FULL FORCE AND
EFFECT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and each other Loan Document shall remain in full
force and effect. This Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute and contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and
communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof. 
 13.
RELEASE. 
 (a) Except with respect to the matters, rights and
obligations specified in Section 13(b) below, each Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Bank and its respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, past or present, and each of them, as well as their respective directors, officers,
agents, servants, employees, shareholders, representatives, attorneys, administrators, executors, heirs, assigns, predecessors and successors in interest, and all other persons, firms or corporations with whom any of the former have been, are now,
or may hereafter be affiliated, and each of them (collectively, the “Releases”), from and against any and all claims, demands, liens, agreements, contracts, covenants, actions, suits, causes of action in law or equity, obligations,
controversies, debts, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suspected or unsuspected by such Borrower, and whether concealed
or hidden (collectively, “Claims”), which such Borrower now owns or holds or has at any time heretofore owned or held, which are based upon or arise out of or in connection with any matter, cause or thing existing at any time prior
to the date hereof or anything done, omitted or suffered to be done or omitted at any time prior to the date hereof in connection with the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents (collectively the “Released Matters”). 

(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that it is the intent of Borrowers to forever release claims against
Releases arising out of the Released Matters, but that nothing herein shall affect the obligations of Bank arising subsequent to the date hereof, including, but not limited to, compliance subsequent to the date hereof with all terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) Each Borrower represents,
warrants and agrees that in executing and entering into this release, it is not relying and has not relied upon any representation, promise or statement made by anyone which is not recited, contained or embodied in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower has 

  
 23 








 
reviewed this release with such Borrower’s legal counsel, and understands and acknowledges the significance and consequence of this release and of the specific waiver thereof contained
herein. Each Borrower understands and expressly assumes the risk that any fact not recited, contained or embodied therein may turn out hereafter to be other than, different from, or contrary to the facts now known to such Borrower or believed by
such Borrower to be true. Nevertheless, each Borrower intends by this release to release fully, finally and forever all Released Matters and agrees that this release shall be effective in all respects notwithstanding any such difference in facts,
and shall not be subject to termination, modification or rescission by reason of any such difference in facts. 
 14.
COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 15. NO THIRD PARTIES
BENEFITED. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole benefit of Borrowers and Bank, and their permitted successors and assigns, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no other Person shall be a
direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement. 
 16. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT AND, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED THEREIN, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SAID STATE OF
GEORGIA (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR
ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON SUCH BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR THE
RELEVANT OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 17. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
