------

Documents, the Obligations, the Collateral, or any past relationship between or among any Loan Party and Lender, that could be asserted to reduce, eliminate, or otherwise affect the Obligations or to seek affirmative relief or damages from the Lender. Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees that this Section 8 constitutes a material inducement to Lender's entry into this Agreement and that Lender has relied upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, and warranties in agreeing to forbear. The Loan Parties waive any further notice of acceleration of the outstanding balance owed under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9. <u>Application of Payments</u>. Each Loan Party hereby waives the right, if any, to direct the manner in which Lender applies any payments, or Collateral proceeds to the Obligations and agrees that Lender may apply and reapply all such payments, or proceeds to the Obligations as Lender in its discretion elects from time to time to the extent such application is consistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 10. <u>Agreement not to Oppose Lender's Remedies</u>.

SECTION 11. <u>No Waiver and Reservation of Rights</u>. Lender has no obligation to modify, extend, or otherwise amend the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, or to negotiate with the Loan Parties or any other person or entity concerning any of the foregoing. The Loan Parties agree that the Lender's execution of this Agreement does not create any such obligations other than as expressly set forth herein. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Lender is not waiving or excusing any defaults under the Loan Documents, including, the Pre-Existing Default, but is simply agreeing to forbear from exercising its rights with respect to the Pre-Existing Default to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that immediately upon expiration of the Forbearance Period, Lender has all of its rights and remedies with respect to the Pre-Existing Default to the same extent, and with the same force and effect, as if the forbearance had not occurred. The Loan Parties will not assert and hereby forever waive any right to assert that Lender is obligated in any way to continue beyond the Forbearance Period to forbear from enforcing its rights or remedies or that the Lender is not entitled to act on the Pre-Existing Default after the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event as if such default had just occurred and the Forbearance Period had never existed. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Lender has made no representations as to what actions, if any, Lender will take after the Forbearance Period or upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Termination Event, a Default or Event of Default, and Lender must and does hereby specifically reserve any and all rights, remedies, and claims they have (after giving effect hereto) with respect to the Pre-Existing Default and each other Default or Event of Default that may occur. All periods of limitations specified by statute and defenses of laches as to any events of default under the Loan Documents are hereby tolled and otherwise suspended during the Forbearance Period. Lender's receipt of a payment on the Loan which is less than the full amount needed to pay off the Loan in full shall not be deemed to constitute in any way (direct, indirect, express and/or implied) a cure, waiver, or postponement of any and/or all rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents, or otherwise at law and/or in equity.

SECTION 12. <u>Acknowledgment of Liens</u>. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Obligations owing to Lender arising out of or in any manner relating to the Loan Documents shall continue to be secured by liens on all assets and property of Borrower, including, without limitation, all accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods (including all farm products, inventory, equipment, and fixtures), instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, real estate, and certain other assets and properties of Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising, to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents heretofore executed and delivered by the such Loan Parties; and nothing herein contained

------

shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens created and provided for thereby as to the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.

SECTION 13. <u>Amendment to Credit Agreement</u>. Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

"If any portion of the Property or any personal property (including, without limitation, equipment, fixtures, or inventory) constituting collateral for the Loan is now or at any time hereafter located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly obtain and thereafter maintain flood insurance coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program or such other flood insurance program acceptable to Lender, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Lender in Lender's sole discretion, and shall provide evidence of such coverage to Lender upon request."

The amendment set forth in <u>this Section 13</u> shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the Forbearance Period and shall remain effective until the earlier of: (i) the Credit Agreement is otherwise amended in writing in accordance with its terms, or (ii) until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

SECTION 14. <u>Confirmation Actions</u>. Each Guarantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including O.C.G.A. § 44-14-161, any and all rights it may have, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to require Lender to obtain judicial confirmation or approval of any foreclosure sale, power of sale, trustee's sale, or other disposition of Collateral conducted pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable law, as a condition precedent to Lender's enforcement of any deficiency, pursuit of any remaining Obligations, or exercise of any other Lender's remedies. Each Loan Party further waives any right to object to, contest, challenge, stay, delay, or set aside any such sale or the enforcement of any deficiency on the basis of (a) lack of confirmation, (b) alleged inadequacy of price, (c) alleged failure to obtain fair market value, or (d) any procedural or substantive defect relating to confirmation, except to the extent such waiver is expressly prohibited by applicable law. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) this waiver is executed after the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, (ii) Lender's agreement to enter into this Agreement and to forbear from exercising certain enforcement actions constitutes good and sufficient consideration for this waiver, (iii) this waiver is a material inducement to Lender's agreement to forbear, and (iv) this waiver shall survive the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, any foreclosure or other disposition of Collateral, and the exercise of any Lender's remedies.

SECTION 15. <u>Reference to and Effect on the Existing Credit Agreement; Other Loan Documents</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its respective obligations under the Note, the Collateral Documents, and the other Loan Documents, reaffirms the liens granted by each Loan Party (as applicable) pursuant to the Collateral Documents and confirms that the Collateral Documents, the Note, and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. Each Loan Party (as applicable) further acknowledges and agrees that the Loan Documents and each of the duties, obligations, and covenants thereunder remain unchanged, are hereby ratified, reaffirmed, and confirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, without any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision thereof except as provided in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Loan Document, after giving effect to this Agreement, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed, except that, on and after the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference in each of the Loan Documents to the "Credit Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by, and after giving effect to, this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each of Guarantors hereby further waives any defense to their obligations under the Guaranties, based upon or arising out of (i) the modification to the Loan Documents as herein provided, (ii) the taking of any additional security for repayment of the obligations owed under the Loan Documents, and (iii) any act or omission of the Lender occurring on or before the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any language contained in any guarantee, each of Guarantors, to the extent permitted by law, waives any claim or other right which each of Guarantors might now have against any other Loan Party, which arises from the existence or performance of such Guarantor's liability or other obligations under the above-referenced Guaranties and any other guaranty which each of Guarantors has executed in favor of Lender, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any Loan Party or any of the Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy, or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute, or common law, until the obligations are paid in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be a "Loan Document".

------

The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Lender is not waiving or excusing any defaults under the Loan Documents, including, the Pre-Existing Default, but is simply agreeing to forbear from exercising its rights with respect to the Pre-Existing Default to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.

The Loan Parties will not assert and hereby forever waive any right to assert that Lender is obligated in any way to continue beyond the Forbearance Period to forbear from enforcing its rights or remedies or that the Lender is not entitled to act on the Pre-Existing Default after the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event as if such default had just occurred and the Forbearance Period had never existed. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Lender has made no representations as to what actions, if any, Lender will take after the Forbearance Period or upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Termination Event, a Default or Event of Default, and Lender must and does hereby specifically reserve any and all rights, remedies, and claims they have (after giving effect hereto) with respect to the Pre-Existing Default and each other Default or Event of Default that may occur.

Lender's receipt of a payment on the Loan which is less than the full amount needed to pay off the Loan in full shall not be deemed to constitute in any way (direct, indirect, express and/or implied) a cure, waiver, or postponement of any and/or all rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents, or otherwise at law and/or in equity.

SECTION 12. <u>Acknowledgment of Liens</u>. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Obligations owing to Lender arising out of or in any manner relating to the Loan Documents shall continue to be secured by liens on all assets and property of Borrower, including, without limitation, all accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods (including all farm products, inventory, equipment, and fixtures), instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, real estate, and certain other assets and properties of Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising, to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents heretofore executed and delivered by the such Loan Parties; and nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens created and provided for thereby as to the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.Each party hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be a "Loan Document".

SECTION 31. <u>Further Assurances</u>. The Loan Parties shall do any act, execute any and all agreements, instruments, and documents, and shall take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Lender to fully effectuate this Agreement, and correct errors in the documenting of the matters discussed herein, to better assure, consent, modify, transfer, perfect or confirm unto Lender the rights intended to be given to, or retained by, Lender in the Loan Documents. The obligations set forth in this Section are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the further assurances required under <u>Section 5(xiii) of this Agreement</u>.
