			Exhibit 4.1
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
		

		
			The following description of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“us,” “our,” “we” or the “Company”), which is the only security of the Company registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), summarizes certain information regarding the Common Stock in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”),  our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and applicable provisions of Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), and is qualified by reference to the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part.
		

		
			Authorized Capital Stock
		

		
			Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 180,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).  Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or the number of shares of stock of any class without stockholder approval.
		

		
			Common Stock
		

		
			Voting Rights.    Subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation regarding the restrictions on transfer and ownership of shares of our Common Stock, each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.
		

		
			Pursuant to the MGCL, a corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its articles of incorporation, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or consolidate or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless such action is advised by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation's articles of incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may amend the Articles of Incorporation (with several exceptions), merge, sell all or substantially all of our assets, engage in a share exchange or consolidate or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, with the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter. However, the MGCL permits a corporation to transfer all or substantially all of its assets without the approval of the stockholders of the corporation to one or more persons if all of the equity interests of the person or persons are owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation.
		

		
			Our Articles of Incorporation provide that in addition to any vote of the holders required by the terms of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock, the affirmative vote of at least 80%of the shares of our capital stock entitled to vote shall be required to:
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			add, amend or repeal any term or provision of our Articles of Incorporation in any respect that would, in the determination of our board of directors, cause us not to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless our board of directors has determined that such qualification is no longer in our best interests;
		

		
			amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation: establishing the standards and procedures for the removal of a director; eliminating the personal liability of a director or officer to us or our stockholders for monetary damages; requiring us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees, agents and other persons acting on behalf of or at the request of us to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law; or establishing this super-majority voting requirement; and
		

		
			adding to our Articles of Incorporation any provision imposing cumulative voting in the election of directors.
		

		
			Dividends, Liquidation and Other Rights.    Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of our stock and to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of stock, holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends on such shares of Common Stock if, as and when authorized by our board of directors, and declared by us out of assets legally available therefor. Such holders are also entitled to share ratably in the assets of our company legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or establishment of reserves or other adequate provision for all debts and liabilities of our company and any stock with preferential rights related thereto. Under Maryland law, stockholders generally are not liable for the corporation's debts or obligations.
		

		
			Holders of shares of Common Stock have no preference, conversion, exchange or sinking fund rights, have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities and generally have no appraisal rights. Subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of stock, shares of Common Stock will have equal dividend, liquidation and other rights.
		

		
			Power to Reclassify Our Unissued Shares of Stock.    Our board of directors is authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to classify and reclassify any of our unissued shares of capital stock by, among other alternatives, setting, altering or eliminating in any one or more respects, from time to time before the issuance of such shares, any feature of such shares, including but not limited to the designation, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of, limitations as to dividends and any other restrictions on such shares, without the approval of the holders of our Common Stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize, without further action by the holders of our Common Stock, the issuance of shares of preferred stock that have priority over the shares of our Common Stock with respect to dividends, distributions and rights upon liquidation and with other terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of shares of our Common Stock or otherwise might be in their best interest.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Restrictions on Ownership
		

		
			To maintain our qualification as a REIT, among other things, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly (taking into account certain constructive ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the tax code), by five or fewer individuals. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no person may beneficially or constructively own more than 9.8% of the number or value of our outstanding shares, unless exempted by our Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that no person may transfer or acquire our shares to the extent that doing so would result in our outstanding shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, and that no person may transfer, acquire or beneficially or constructively own shares to the extent that doing so would result in our violating the 50% ownership limitation described in the first sentence of this paragraph or would otherwise result in our failing to qualify as a REIT.
		

		
			Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that on an annual basis we will use our best efforts to redeem any shares of our Common Stock from holders who desire to sell them. The purchase price paid by us will be 90% of the fair market value of the shares purchased, as determined by our board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion after consultation with an adviser selected by our Board. We have no obligation to redeem shares of our Common Stock during any period that our Common Stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange.
		

		
			Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Maryland Law that may have Anti-Takeover Effects
		

		
			Board of Directors.    Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that our board of directors may establish the number of directors as long as the number is not fewer than the minimum required under the MGCL. Prior to our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, our board of directors was divided into three classes, with directors of each class elected to serve a three year term.  Following the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, we amended our articles of incorporation to provide that each of the successors to the directors whose terms expired in 2020 would be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, each of the successors to the directors whose terms expired in 2021, along with the successors to the directors elected at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, would be elected to serve until the following annual meeting of stockholders and beginning with the annual meeting of stockholders in 2022 all directors would be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders. Except as may be provided by our board of directors in setting the terms of any class of preferred stock, any vacancy on our board of directors occurring for any reason, other than an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any vacancy on our board of directors created by an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a vote of a majority of our entire board of directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.
		

		
			Removal of Directors by Stockholders.    Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that members of our board of directors may only be removed for cause, and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the election of the directors. This provision, when coupled with the provision in our Bylaws
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			authorizing our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors and filling the vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees.
		

		
			Stockholder Nomination of Directors.    Our Bylaws provide that a stockholder must notify us in writing of any stockholder nomination of a director not earlier than the 150th day and not later than the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the mailing date of the notice of the preceding year's annual meeting.
		

		
			Business Combinations.    Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances specified under the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any interested stockholder, or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Maryland law defines an interested stockholder as:
		

		
			any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's outstanding voting stock after the date on which the corporation had 100 or more beneficial owners of its stock; or
		

		
			an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
		

		
			A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approves in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. In approving a transaction, however, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of the approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.
		

		
			After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the company and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
		

		
			80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of corporation; and
		

		
			two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected or by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
		

		
			These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if, among other conditions, the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price (as described under the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
		

		
			These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by a corporation's board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Control Share Acquisitions.    The MGCL provides that "control shares" of a Maryland corporation acquired in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent approved at a special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Votes entitled to be cast on the matter exclude votes of shares of stock in the corporation in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of such shares in the election or directors: (1) a person who makes or proposes to make a control share acquisition; (2) an officer of the corporation; or (3) an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation.
		

		
			"Control shares" are voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
		

		
			one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
		

		
			one-third or more but less than a majority; or
		

		
			a majority or more of all voting power.
		

		
			Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
		

		
			A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses and making an "acquiring person statement" as described in the MGCL), may compel our board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the control shares. If no request for a special meeting is made, we may present the question at any stockholders meeting.
		

		
			If voting rights of control shares are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an "acquiring person statement" as required by the MGCL, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value. Fair value is determined without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares and as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at the stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (1) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if we are a party to the transaction or (2) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Our Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute all shares of our capital stock to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law. We can provide no assurance that our board of directors will not amend or eliminate such provision at any time in the future. Our board of directors has the power to determine that the amendment or elimination of such provision applies to a control share acquisition that occurred prior or subsequent to such amendment or elimination.
		

		
			Subtitle 8.    Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, to any or all of the following five provisions:
		

		
			a classified board;
		

		
			a two-thirds stockholder vote requirement for removing a director;
		

		
			a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;
		

		
			a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and
		

		
			a requirement that requires the request of the holders of at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast to call a special meeting of stockholders.
		

		
			To date, we have not made any of the elections described above, although, independent of these elections, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that divide our board of directors into classes prior to the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders as discussed above and special meetings of stockholders are only required to be held upon the request of a majority of the stockholders, that the board has the exclusive power to fix the number of directors, that directors may be removed only for cause and by the vote of two-third of the votes entitled to be cast and that, generally, vacancies may be filled only by our board of directors.
		

		
			Amendment of Our Bylaws.    Our board of directors has the power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our Bylaws and to make new bylaws.  In addition, stockholders may amend our Bylaws by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter pursuant to a binding proposal submitted by any stockholder.ccfi_Ex10_1

From and after the occurrence of a Dividend Restriction Event and/or from and after the last day of each month through the date Debtor delivers to Lender the Consumer Loan Value Certificate for such month (due with FIFTEEN (15) days after the end of such month in accordance with Section 8(a)(v) hereof), Debtor shall not: (i) declare or pay any dividend or other distribution, direct or indirect, on account of any equity interest of Debtor, now or hereafter outstanding; (ii) make any repurchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance, sinking fund or similar payment, purchase or other acquisition for value, direct or indirect, of any equity interest of Debtor or any direct or indirect parent of Debtor, now or hereafter outstanding; (iii) make any payment to retire, or to obtain the surrender of, any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase or acquisition of shares of any class of equity interest of Debtor, now or hereafter outstanding; (iv) return any equity interest to any equity holders of Debtor, or make any other distribution of property, assets, shares of equity interest, warrants, rights, options, obligations or securities thereto as such; or (v) pay any management fees or any other fees or expenses (including the reimbursement thereof by Debtor) pursuant to any management, consulting or other services agreement to any of the shareholders or other equity holders of Debtor.  “Dividend Restriction Event” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (2) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (3) a Level 1 Trigger shall have occurred and be continuing either immediately before, or would occur immediately after, giving effect to any such payment, dividend or distribution under this Section; and/or (4) a Consumer Loan Value Deficiency exists or would exist after making such payment, dividend or distribution.

All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the Loan and other Indebtedness under the Loan Documents are paid in full and all of the Loan Documents are terminated.
		

		
			(c)          Performance by Lender.  If Debtor fails to perform any agreement or obligation provided for in any Loan Document, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be a part of the Indebtedness, secured by the Collateral and payable by Debtor on demand.

Lender shall not, under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Consumer Loans or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  Lender, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, does not assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Lender and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by Debtor of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred, and without limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available to Lender, Lender may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section.
		

		
			(a)          Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, the entire unpaid balance of principal of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness owing to Lender by Debtor at such time shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor; provided,  however, concurrently and automatically with the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10(e) further advances under the Loan Documents shall automatically cease, the Indebtedness at such time shall, without any action by Lender, become due and payable, without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor.  All rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Agreement and in any of the other Loan Documents may also be exercised by Lender, at its option to be exercised in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Lender under the terms of any other agreement.
		

		
			(b)          Other Remedies.  Lender may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents:
		

		
			(i)           Exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);
		

		
			(ii)          Require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender, assemble the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties;
		

		
			(iii)         Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure;
		

		
			(iv)         Sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Lender’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;
		

		
			(v)          Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;
		

		
			(vi)         Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;
		

		
			(vii)        Apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and
		

		
			(viii)       At its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise.
		

		
			Debtor agrees that in the event Debtor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Debtor’s address set forth on the signature page hereof,
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			 
		

		
			TEN (10) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
		

		
			(c)         Application of Proceeds.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may at its discretion apply or use any cash held by Lender as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Lender may elect:
		

		
			(i)           to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (1) the administration of the Loan Documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (3) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder;
		

		
			(ii)          to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral;
		

		
			(iii)         to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness;
		

		
			(iv)         by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;
		

		
			(v)          to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and
		

		
			(vi)         by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
		

		
			(d)          License.  Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge, Debtor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral.
		

		
			(e)          Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Lender are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Debtor (unless otherwise provided) shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.
		

		
			(f)           Non‐Judicial Remedies.  In granting to Lender the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Debtor recognizes and concedes that non‐judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.  Nothing herein is intended to prevent Lender or Debtor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.
		

		
			(g)          Other Recourse.  Debtor waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Indebtedness, or to have any third party joined with Debtor in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents, or pursue any other remedy available to Lender.  Debtor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension of the Indebtedness.  Debtor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party.  Until all of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Obligor shall have any right of subrogation and Debtor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Lender has or may hereafter have against any third party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Lender.  Debtor authorizes Lender, and
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			 
		

		
			without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Debtor and without affecting Debtor’s liability hereunder or on the Indebtedness to: (i) take or hold any other property of any type from any third party as security for the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (ii) apply such other property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender may in its discretion determine; (iii) renew, extend, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the Indebtedness or other security for the Indebtedness; (iv) waive, enforce or modify any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents executed by any third party; and (v) release or substitute any third party.
		

		
			(h)          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
		

		
			(i)           Equitable Relief.  Debtor recognizes that in the event Debtor fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Indebtedness, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender.  Debtor therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
		

		
			11.          Indemnity.  Debtor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Lender, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person arising in connection with the Loan Documents, the Indebtedness or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the defense of any Indemnified Person’s actions and/or inactions in connection with the Loan Documents).  WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AND/OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON, EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THE CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON ARE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.  If Debtor or any third party ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Indemnified Person, the indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as: (a) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) Lender expressly agrees in writing with Debtor that such Claim is proximately caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity that is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder.
		

		
			12.          Limitation of Liability and Releases.  As a material inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement and to grant the Loan to Debtor, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Debtor, and its successors and assigns do hereby remise, release, acquit, satisfy and forever discharge Lender, and all of the past, present and future officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, participants, heirs, successors and assigns of Lender from any and all manner of debts, accountings, bonds, warranties, representations, covenants, promises, contracts, controversies, arguments, liabilities, obligations, expenses, damages, judgments, executions, actions, claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, either now accrued or hereafter maturing or whether known or unknown, which Debtor now has or hereafter can, shall or may have by reason of any manner, cause or things, from the Effective Date to and including the date on which all Indebtedness of Debtor under the Loan Documents is indefeasibly paid and satisfied, including specifically, but without limitation, matters arising out of, in connection with or related to any and all obligations owed or owing to Lender under the Loan Documents; or the Indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 12 of this Agreement), in no event will Debtor be liable to Lender or any of its Affiliates for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			13.          No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Debtor or any of Debtor’s equity holders or any other Person.  Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder have been prepared by HUSCH BLACKWELL LLP (“Lender’s Counsel”).  Debtor acknowledges and understands that Lender’s Counsel is acting solely as counsel to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, is not representing Debtor in connection therewith, and has not, in any manner, undertaken to assist or render legal advice to Debtor with respect to this transaction.  Debtor has been advised to seek other legal counsel to represent its interests in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
		

		
			14.          Waiver and Agreement.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Debtor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.  No modification or amendment to this Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.
		

		
			15.          Benefits.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Obligors, and their respective successors and assigns, provided,  however, that no Obligor may, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			16.          Notices.  All notices, requests, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and given by: (a) personal delivery; (b) expedited delivery service with proof of delivery; or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth on the signature page hereof and shall be deemed to have been received either, in the case of personal delivery, as of the time of personal delivery, in the case of expedited delivery service, as of the time of the expedited delivery and in the manner provided herein, or in the case of mail, upon the third day after deposit in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.  Any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by notice to the other party of such new address.
		

		
			17.          Construction; Venue; Service of Process.  The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regards to the principles of conflicts of laws, and shall be performable by the parties hereto in the city and county in Georgia where Lender’s address set forth on the signature page hereof is located (the “Venue Site”).  Any action or proceeding against Debtor under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court within the Venue Site.  Debtor hereby irrevocably: (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts; and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum.  Debtor agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement.  Nothing in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Debtor or with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions.  Any action or proceeding by Debtor against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in the Venue Site.
		

		
			18.          Invalid Provisions.  If any provisions of the Loan Documents are held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance.
		

		
			19.          Expenses.  Debtor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees) in connection with: (a) the drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein; (b) any action required in the course of administration of the indebtedness
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			and obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents; and (c) any action in the enforcement of Lender’s rights upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
		

		
			20.          Conflicts.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Note, in the event any term or provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with or conflicts with any provision of the other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement shall be controlling.
		

		
			21.          Counterparts.  The Loan Documents may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
		

		
			22.          Survival.  All representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and no investigation by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them.
		

		
			23.          Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY LENDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
		

		
			24.          Patriot Act Notice.  Lender hereby notifies Debtor that pursuant to the requirements of Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. §5318 (the “Act”), that Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Debtor, which information includes the name and address of Debtor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Debtor in accordance with the Act.
		

		
			25.          Regulation B—Notice of Joint Intent.  If Obligors are more than one Person, Federal Regulation B (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) requires lender to obtain evidence of such Person’s intention to apply for joint credit.  Such Person’s signature below shall evidence such intent.  Such Person’s intent shall apply to future related extensions of joint credit and joint guaranty.
		

		
			26.          Relationship of Debtor and Sellers.  Lender acknowledges that Debtor does not own any equity in any of the Sellers and does not control any of the voting equity of Sellers and is not otherwise in the management of the Sellers.  Accordingly, to the extent that this Agreement provides that Debtor will cause Seller to take or not take any actions, there are provisions in the Sale Agreement to provide Lender and Debtor with certain contractual assurances that Debtor will be able to cause Seller to take or not take any such actions.
		

		
			27.          Notice of Final Agreement.  It is the intention of Debtor and Lender that the following NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT be incorporated by reference into each of the Loan Documents (as the same may be amended, modified or restated from time to time).  Debtor and Lender warrant and represent that the entire agreement made and existing by or among Debtor and Lender with respect to the Loan is and shall be contained within the Loan Documents, and that no agreements or promises exist or shall exist by or among, Debtor and Lender that are not reflected in the Loan Documents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			28.          Amendment and Restatement.  On the Effective Date, the Original Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement.  This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Original Loan Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Indebtedness incurred under the Original Loan Agreement.  Debtor reaffirms the liens granted pursuant to the original Loan Documents to Lender, which liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof and shall continue to secure the Indebtedness.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Right of First Refusal.  For and in consideration of Lender’s agreement to provide the extension of the Credit Facility, Debtor hereby grants Lender a right to provide any additional financing to Debtor, which such right shall be limited to an additional THIRTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($30,000,000.00) of financing, for similarly situated transactions for so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding.  Debtor shall provide Lender with a proposal for such financing not less than FORTY-FIVE (45) days prior to the date of the proposed transaction and Lender must accept such proposal within FOURTEEN (14) days of such proposal or Debtor can pursue such proposed financing with another lender.
		

		
			29.
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THE SAME MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
