(collectively, “Lenders” and each individually, a “Lender”), and Bank of America, N.A., a national
banking association, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for itself and the other
Lenders. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings given them in
the Credit Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

     A. Borrower, Agent and Lenders from time to time party thereto, entered into that certain
Credit Agreement dated as of May 29, 2009 (as amended by that First Amendment to Credit Agreement
dated as of June 10, 2010, that Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 19, 2010,
and as further amended, restated, or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

term loan to Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

     C. Borrower, Lenders and Agent agree to amend the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Amendment.

     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

     1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

     (a) Section 1.01 (Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement is amended to delete the
definition of “Commitment” in its entirety and replace it with the following:

“Commitment” means, as to each Lender, its obligation to make Loans to Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.01, on the Closing Date, on the Additional Term Loan Closing
Date, and on each Equipment Term Loan Advance Date, as the case may be, in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount set
forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01.

     (b) Section 1.01 (Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the
following new defined terms in the appropriate alphabetical order:

“Equipment Term Loan Advance Date” means the date that all the conditions precedent
in Section 4.02 are satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 10.01 and the
Loans in respect of the Equipment Term Loan Commitment are extended by the Lenders.

“Equipment Term Loan Advance Period” means the period commencing on November 9, 2010
and ending on May 9, 2011.

“Equipment Term Loan Commitment” means $5,500,000.

(c) Section 2.01 (Term Loan Commitment) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

 

 

     “2.01 Term Loan Commitments.

     (a) Borrower acknowledges and confirms that on the Closing Date, Lenders made a
single advance term loan (the “Existing Term Loan”) to Borrower in the original
principal amount of $35,000,000 in the aggregate, and that the Outstanding Amount is
equal to $23,333,333.33 as of November 9, 2010. Borrower may prepay the Loans under
the Existing Term Loan under Section 2.03, and shall repay such Loans under the
Existing Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.04, but once prepaid or repaid, such Loans
shall not be reborrowed. The Borrowing under the Existing Term Loan on the Closing
Date shall bear interest based on the Eurodollar Daily Floating Rate, subject to
subsequent conversion at Borrower’s option to Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein. Borrower reaffirms its obligation to pay the Existing Term Loan in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

     (b) Borrower acknowledges and confirms that on the Additional Term Loan Closing
Date Lenders made a single advance term loan (the “Additional Term Loan”) to
Borrower in the original principal amount of $10,000,000, and that the Outstanding
Amount is equal to $10,000,000 as of November 9, 2010. Borrower may prepay the
Loans under the Additional Term Loan under Section 2.03, and shall repay such Loans
pursuant to Section 2.04, but once prepaid or repaid, such Loans shall not be
reborrowed. The Borrowing under the Additional Term Loan on the Additional Term
Loan Closing Date shall bear interest based on the Eurodollar Daily Floating Rate,
subject to subsequent conversion at Borrower’s option to Eurodollar Rate Loans, as
further provided herein. Borrower reaffirms its obligation to pay the Additional
Term Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

     (c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender
severally and not jointly agrees to make one or more term loans (the “Equipment Term
Loan”) to Borrower during the Equipment Term Loan Advance Period in an aggregate
amount equal to such Lender’s portion of the Equipment Term Loan Commitment as
listed on Schedule 2.01 (each such loan, together with the Existing Term Loan, and
the Additional Term Loan, a “Loan”). After giving effect to the Borrowings on each
Equipment Term Loan Advance Date (i) the Outstanding Amount under the Equipment Term
Loan shall not exceed $5,500,000, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Loans of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment as listed on Schedule
2.01. Borrower may prepay the Loans under the Equipment Term Loan under Section
2.03, and shall repay such Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, but once prepaid or
repaid, such Loans shall not be reborrowed. Each Borrowing under the Equipment Term
Loan shall bear interest at Borrower’s option based on the Eurodollar Daily Floating
Rate plus the Applicable Rate or the Eurodollar Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate,
as further provided herein. Lenders’ Commitment to make Loans under the Equipment
Term Loan expires on the last day of the Equipment Term Loan Advance Period. In
addition to the foregoing and in addition to the conditions precedent set out in
Article IV below, Loans under the Equipment Term Loan are subject to the following
limitations:

     (i) no Loans under the Equipment Term Loan may be made after
expiration of the Equipment Term Loan Advance Period;

2

 

     (ii) no Loan under the Equipment Term Loan may exceed 75% of the cost
of the equipment purchased on or after October 1, 2010 or to be purchased
with the proceeds of such Loan as evidenced and supported by the invoice or
purchase order in respect of purchase of such equipment as delivered to
Agent;

     (iii) no more than three (3) Loans under the Equipment Term Loan may
be made in any calendar month; and

     (iv) each Loan under the Equipment Term Loan shall be in a minimum
amount of $100,000.”

     (d) Section 2.02 (Conversions and Continuations of Loans) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting subsection (b) in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:

     “(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall
notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Eurodollar Rate
Loans described in the preceding subsection. On the Closing Date, the Additional
Term Loan Closing Date and on each Equipment Term Loan Advance Date (as the case may
be), each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Agent in immediately
available funds at Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 on the Closing Date, the Additional
Term Loan Closing Date and on the Equipment Term Loan Advance Date (as the case may
be), Agent shall make the funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as
received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of
Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds,
in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) Agent by Borrower.”

     (e) Section 2.04 (Repayment of Loans) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

          “2.04 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) In respect of the Outstanding Amounts under the Existing Term Loan,
commencing on September 30, 2010, and continuing on the last Business Day of
each quarter thereafter, Borrower shall repay to the Lenders holding such
Outstanding Amounts, a principal installment each in the aggregate amount
equal to $2,187,500.00.

     (b) In respect of the Outstanding Amounts under the Equipment Term
Loan, commencing on June 30, 2011 and continuing on the last Business Day of
each quarter thereafter, Borrower shall repay to the Lenders holding such
Outstanding Amounts a principal installment each in an amount equal to the
quotient of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans under the Equipment Term
Loan at the expiration of the Equipment Term Loan Advance Period divided by
(ii) sixty (60).

     (c) On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall repay to the Lenders the
Outstanding Amount of all Loans, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest.

3

 

Any payment of the Loans shall be applied first to Loans bearing
interest based on the Eurodollar Daily Floating Rate and then to Eurodollar
Rate Loans beginning with those Loans with the least number of days
remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with those
Loans with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period
applicable thereto.”

     (f) Section 4.02 (Conditions to all Credit Extensions) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     “4.02 Conditions to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender to

Exhibit 10.30

LIFE OF THE SOUTH CORPORATION

2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     This Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of this 18th day
of November, 2005, by and between LIFE OF THE SOUTH CORPORATION, a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Georgia (the “Corporation”), and RICHARD S. KAHLBAUGH (the “Employee”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Corporation adopted the Life of the South Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain key employees of the Corporation, which Plan became
effective on November 18, 2005 and was approved by the shareholders of the Corporation on April
27, 2006; and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Plan in a form that qualifies in pertinent part as
an Incentive Stock Option Plan, as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), and so that certain options granted under the Plan will constitute
“Incentive Stock Options” and will be afforded the favorable tax treatment allowed such options
under the Code; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Employee has been selected as an Optionee under the Plan,
and the Corporation desires to grant to the Employee an option to purchase shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements and
covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follows:

     1. GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, the Corporation
irrevocably grants on November 18, 2005 (“Grant Date”) to the Employee the right and option to
purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock (this “Option”), exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 3. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Agreement
shall have the same meaning as provided in the Plan.

     2. TERM OF OPTION. Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraph 3 hereof,
the term of this Option is ten (10) years from the date hereof. In no event may this Option be
exercised as to any shares covered hereby after 5:00 P.M,

 

 

Eastern Time, on the date which immediately precedes the tenth anniversary of the date of this
Agreement.

     3. OPTION PRICE, VESTING AND EXERCISE.

     (a) Option Price. The purchase price of each share of Common Stock subject to
this Option shall be $15.92. This price represents a value no less than the Fair Market
Value of each such share as of the date of grant of this Option.

     (b) Vesting of Option. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the
Employee may exercise this Option, or any portion thereof, only to the extent provided in
the following vesting schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Vested Interest as Percentage of
	Vesting Dates	 	Total Shares Subject to this Option
	April 30, 2006
	 	 	20	%
	April 30, 2007
	 	 	40	%
	April 30, 2008
	 	 	60	%
	April 30, 2009
	 	 	80	%
	April 30, 2010
	 	 	100	%

     The right to exercise this Option as to any portion of the shares covered hereby on or
after the respective dates provided above is cumulative, and a failure to exercise any
portion of this Option in any year shall not constitute a lapse of such right during the
term of this Option. If the aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Stock with respect to
which Options under the Plan and options under all stock option plans of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries are exercisable for the first time by the Employee (or person then
entitled to exercise this Option) during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, this Option
shall be an Incentive Stock Option (up to the $100,000 limit) and a Nonqualified Stock
Option for the remaining shares. Any exercise of this Option shall be deemed first to be
the exercise of Incentive Stock Options, with the excess treated as the exercise of
Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of determining the $100,000 limit, the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock shall be determined at the time the Options are granted. Further,
no partial exercise of this Option may be made for less than 100 shares or, if less than
100 shares are still available for exercise under this Option, the number of such remaining

shares. For purposes of vesting and other rights under this Agreement, the Employee’s
employment by any Employer shall be considered employment hereunder.

     (c) Manner of Exercise. The person then entitled to exercise this Option may
do so by delivering written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Corporation, in
person, or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of

-2-

 

the Secretary of the Corporation at the location at which the Corporation then maintains its
principal office, and if so mailed, the date of mailing will be considered the date of exercise.
Such notice shall be in substantially the form attached and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the total purchase price for the shares being purchased. Such payment may be made in cash
or, in whole or in part, by transfer and delivery to the Corporation of shares of Common Stock
already owned by the Employee, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or charges of any kind,
valued at their Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of such exercise. The
Corporation, in the event of exercise by an authorized person other than the Employee, may require
proof of the right of such person to exercise this Option. As promptly as practicable after
receipt by the Corporation of the notice to purchase and the full payment of the purchase price of
the shares of Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued to the person entitled to purchase
the shares for which this Option is exercised, stock certificate(s) for the number of shares of
Common Stock being purchased, which shall evidence fully paid and nonassessable shares.

     (d) Person Who May Exercise Option. Except as the Corporation may otherwise permit in
its discretion pursuant to Section 4 below, during the lifetime of the Employee, this Option shall
be exercisable only by the Employee, or if the Employee is disabled, by his duly appointed
guardian or legal representative. Upon his death, to the extent that such Option is otherwise
exercisable hereunder, this Option may be exercised by the Employee’s legal representative or by a
person who receives the right to exercise this Option under the Employee’s will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution.

     (e) Earlier Termination of Option. Not withstanding the provisions of subparagraph
3(b), the right to exercise the vested portion of this Option shall, except as provided in (f)
below, terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the expiration of the term of this Option as
set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, (ii) the expiration of one (1) year after the date the Employee’s
employment is terminated because of death or Total and Permanent Disability, (iii) the expiration
of one (1) year after the date the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without
Cause or the Employee terminates for Good Reason, or (iv) the date the Employee’s employment is
terminated by the Corporation for Cause or the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth in the
Employment Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2005 (“Employment Agreement”), between the Corporation
and the Employee, as it may be amended.

     (f) Earlier Exercise of Option. The following special rule shall apply to the
exercise of this Option: upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined

-3-

 

in the Employment Agreement) or upon the Employee becoming entitled to receive termination
benefits under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, this Option shall become fully
vested and immediately exercisable. The period during which this Option may be exercised after any
such events shall extend to the expiration of one year after the Employee’s date of termination.

     4. TRANSFERABILITY. Except as the Corporation may otherwise permit in its discretion,
this Agreement and any rights hereunder shall be nontransferable and nonassignable by the Employee
or by any other person entitled hereunder to exercise any such rights; provided, however, that
upon the death of the employee any rights granted hereunder shall be transferable, subject to the
provisions of subparagraph 3(d), by the Employee’s will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.

     5. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event of (i) any dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) any recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, consolidation of, or other change
in, the Common Stock, or (iii) an exchange of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, in
connection with a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of the Corporation, or a sale by
the Corporation of all or a portion of its assets, for a different number or class of shares of
stock or other securities of the Corporation or for shares of the stock or other securities of any
other corporation; then the number and class of shares or other securities that shall be subject
to this Option and/or the purchase price per share which must be paid thereafter upon exercise of
this Option shall automatically be appropriately adjusted to reflect the event described in (i),
(ii), or (iii) above.

     6. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Employee hereby represents, warrants and agrees:

     
(a) That, unless a registration statement is effective at the time of exercise, the shares that are purchased under this Agreement will be purchased for his own account for
investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof;

     (b) That he understands the offer of shares under this Agreement may be made pursuant
to a claim of exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”) and any applicable state securities laws, and that such claim may be
based in part upon the representations contained herein;

     (c) That the shares subject to this Agreement may be unregistered and, if so, will be
required to be held indefinitely, unless such shares are subsequently registered or an
exemption from registration is then available;

-4-

 

     (d) That the Corporation is under no obligation to register such shares, to comply
with any such exemption or to supply the Employee with any information necessary to enable
him to make routine sales of such shares under Rule 144 or any other rule or regulation of
the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

     (e) That the transfer agent for the Corporation may be instructed not to transfer
ownership of the stock certificate(s) representing shares acquired upon any exercise of
this Option, unless in the prior written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation, such transfer is lawful under the Act and applicable state securities laws.

     In regard to the foregoing, the Employee understands and agrees that the certificate(s)
evidencing any shares that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option which have not
been registered under the Act or any applicable state securities law, may bear an appropriate
restrictive legend in a form determined in the sole discretion of the Corporation.

     7. LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. If in the opinion of legal counsel for the Corporation the
issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Option would not
be lawful for any reason, including without limitation the inability of the Corporation to obtain
from any governmental authority or regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by
such counsel to be necessary to such issuance or sale, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
issue or sell any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Option to the Employee or any
other authorized person unless a registration statement that complies with the provisions of the
Act in respect of such shares is in effect at the time thereof, or other appropriate action has
been taken under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Act, or the Corporation receives
evidence satisfactory to such counsel that the issuance and sale of such shares, in the absence of
an effective registration statement or other appropriate action, would not constitute a violation
of the Act or any applicable state securities law.

     8. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER OR TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the Employee nor any other
person authorized to purchase Common Stock upon exercise of this Option shall have any interest in
or shareholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock which are subject to this Option
until such shares have been issued and delivered to the Employee or any such person pursuant to
the exercise of this Option. Furthermore, neither this Agreement nor the Plan shall confer upon
the Employee any rights of employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, including without
limitation any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or shall affect
the right of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Employee at any
time with or without Cause.

-5-

 

     9. WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition of exercise of this Option, the
Corporation may, in its sole discretion, withhold or require the Employee to pay or reimburse the
Corporation for any taxes which the Corporation determines are required to be withheld in
connection with the grant or any exercise of this Option (including the right to use shares
acquired in connection with the exercise of the Option to pay any required withholding taxes).

     10. HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS. This Agreement and all terms and conditions hereof shall be
binding upon the parties hereto, and their successors, heirs, legatees and legal representatives.

     11. AMENDMENT. The Corporation hereby reserves the right to amend this Agreement,
except that no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Employee hereunder without
his written consent.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officer and its corporate seal to be affixed hereto, and the Employee has executed this
Agreement under seal, all as of the date first above written.

(“Employment Agreement”),
between the Corporation and the Employee, as it may be amended.”

2.

     Section 3(f) is hereby amended by deleting the present section in its entirety and
substituting the following in lieu thereof:

“(f) Earlier Exercise of Option. The following special rule shall apply
to the exercise of this Option: upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as

3.

     Section 3 of the Agreement shall be further amended by adding the following at

the Corporation and the other parties thereto, whereby the securities
of the Corporation representing in excess of 50% of the voting power of

either case contingent upon the consummation of the event), and at the
end of such period, such Options shall terminate to the extent not so
exercised within the relevant period; or (iv) cancellation of all or
any portion of outstanding Options for fair value which shall equal the
excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the
Change of Control Transaction to holders of the same number of Shares
subject to such Options (or, if no such consideration is paid, Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to such outstanding Options or
portion thereof being canceled) over the aggregate Option Price or
exercise price, as applicable, with respect to such Option or portion
thereof being canceled.”
