 ARTICLE II: ADVANCES AGREEMENT 

Section 2.01 Advance Documentation.  The Member may apply for Advances and commitments for Advances by completing and submitting an Application to the Bank or by telephonic or other unsigned communication.  The Bank may suspend the use of telephonic applications at any time.  The terms of each Advance or commitment shall be conclusively established by this Agreement and by either (i) the Member's Application when such Application is executed by the Bank without any change, or (ii) in the case of an Application received, completed or modified by the Bank pursuant to a telephonic or other unsigned communication from the Member ("telephonic application"), by a Confirmation of Advance generated by the Bank. The Member shall be estopped from asserting any claim or defense with respect to the terms applicable to an Advance or a commitment for an Advance entered into
pursuant to a telephonic application unless, within two (2) business clays of receipt of the Bank's Confirmation of Advance, the Member delivers to the Bank a written notice specifying the disputed term(s) or condition(s) of the Advance or commitment. Within three (3) business days of the date of the Member's receipt of the Bank's Confirmation of Advance, the Member shall prepare, sign and submit to the Bank a completed Application conforming to such Confirmation of Advance. Upon the request of the Bank, the Member shall sign and deliver to the Bank a promissory note or notes in such form as the Bank may reasonably require evidencing any Advance.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank in writing, each Advance shall be made by crediting the Member's demand deposit account(s) with the Bank. 

Section 2.02 Repayment of Advances.  The Member agrees to repay each Advance in accordance with this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Application or Confirmation of Advance evidencing such Advance.  Interest shall be paid on each Advance at the times specified by the Bank in writing and shall be charged for each day that an Advance is outstanding at the rate applicable to the Advance.  The Member shall pay to the Bank, immediately and without demand, interest on any past due principal of and interest on any Advance at an interest rate which is the greater of (i) the rate applicable to such Advance plus one percent (1%) or (ii) the rate in effect and being charged by the Bank from time to time on overdrafts on demand deposit accounts of its Members, but in no event more than any applicable 

3 

limit set by the Regulations. The Member shall ensure that, on any day on which any payment is due to the Bank with respect to Advances or other Indebtedness, the Member's demand deposit account(s) with the Bank has an available balance in an amount at least equal to the amounts then due and payable to the Bank, and the Member hereby authorizes the Bank to debit the Member's demand deposit account(s) with the Bank for all amounts due and payable with respect to any Advance and for all other amounts due and payable hereunder.  In the event that the available balance in the Member's demand deposit account(s) is insufficient to pay such due and payable amounts, the Bank may, without notice to or request from the Member, apply any other deposits, credits, or monies of the Member then in the possession of the Bank to the payment of amounts due and payable. All payments with respect to Advances shall be applied first to any fees or charges applicable thereto and to interest due thereon,
in such order as the Bank may determine, and then to any principal amount thereof that is then due and payable. 

 Section 2.03
  Right of Bank to Make Advances with Respect
  to Outstanding Commitments. In the event that
  there are one or more outstanding Commitments at the time of an Event of Default
  under Section 4.01 hereof, the Bank may at its option, and without notice to
  or request from the Member, make an Advance by crediting a special account of
  the Member with the Bank in an amount equal to the outstanding Commitments.
  Amounts credited to such special account shall be utilized by the Bank for the
  purpose of satisfying the Bank's obligations under such Commitments. When all
  such obligations have expired or have been satisfied, the Bank shall disburse
  the balance, if any, in such special account first to the satisfaction of any
  amounts then due and owing by the Member to the Bank and then to the Member
  or its successors in interest. Advances made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall
  be payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date the same shall be
  made until paid at the rate in effect and being charged by the Bank from time
  to time on overdrafts on demand deposit accounts of its members, but in no event
  more than any applicable limit set by the Regulations.  

Section 2.04 Amortization of Advances.  In the event that the Bank determines that the creditworthiness of the Member, as determined from time to time by the Bank, does not meet the requirements of the Bank, the Bank may, without limitation of the Bank's rights upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, require amortization by means of monthly payments of principal on all or part of the Member's Advances. The Member agrees to begin making such monthly amortization payments, upon thirty (30) days written notice from the Bank, in such monthly amounts as the Bank shall specify in writing. No monthly payment shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the Advance being amortized. Unless otherwise specified by the Bank in writing to the Member, such monthly amortizing payments shall not extend or modify the maturity date or other
scheduled payment dates applicable to the Advance being amortized. 

 ARTICLE III: SECURITY AGREEMENT 

Section 3.01 Creation of Security Interest.  As security for all Indebtedness, the Member hereby assigns, transfers, and pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security interest in all of the Capital Stock and First Mortgage Collateral now or hereafter owned by the Member, and all proceeds thereof, provided, however, that First Mortgage Collateral that is encumbered or disposed of by the Member in conformity with the requirements of Section 3.04 (A) hereof shall not be subject to the security interest created hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, all 

  4  

property heretofore assigned, transferred or pledged by the Member to the Bank as collateral securing Indebtedness and other obligations of the Member prior to the date hereof is hereby assigned, transferred and pledged to the Bank as Collateral hereunder. 

 Section 3.02 Additional
  Collateral and Documentation; Required Substitution of "Advances, Specific Collateral
  Pledge And Security Agreement". The Member agrees to assign, transfer
  and pledge Collateral in conformity with the Bank's "Advances, Specific Collateral
  Pledge and Security Agreement" (i) at any time the Member shall not have assigned,
  transferred, or pledged to the Bank under this Agreement First Mortgage Collateral
  which is Qualifying Collateral and which has a Lendable Collateral Value at
  least equal to the Collateral Maintenance Level or (ii) at any time the Member
  does not qualify under the Bank's criteria for member eligibility to secure
  Advances under this Agreement or (iii) if the Bank determines in good faith
  that the value of the Member's Qualifying Collateral may not be adequately ascertained,
  or (iv) at any time the Bank deems itself insecure. In addition, the Member
  agrees to maintain such additional amounts of Collateral (which may be Collateral
  that is not Qualifying Collateral) as may be required by the Bank in order to
  protect its security position with respect to outstanding Indebtedness. If the
  Bank requires the Member to substitute for this Agreement the Bank's "Advances,
  Specific Collateral Pledge and Security Agreement," the Member must execute
  that agreement and comply with the requirements of that agreement in all respects.
  To assure that the Member provides to the Bank Qualifying Collateral with a
  Lendable Collateral Value at least equal to the Collateral Maintenance Level
  at all times, the Bank may require, in connection with the substitution of agreements,
  that the Member make, execute, record, and deliver to the Bank additional agreements,
  financing statements, notices, assignments, listings, powers, and other documents
  with respect to such Collateral and the Bank's security interest therein. 

Section 3.03 Member's Representation and Warranties Concerning Collateral.  The Member represents and warrants to the Bank, as of the date hereof and the date of each Advance hereunder, as follows: 

(A) The Member owns and has marketable title to the Collateral and has the right and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral and to subject all of the Collateral to this Agreement; 

(B) The information given from time to time by the Member as to each item of Collateral is true, accurate and complete in all material respects; 

(C) All the Collateral meets the standards and requirements with respect thereto from time to time established by the Act, the Regulations and the Bank; 

(D) The lien of each mortgage pledged as Collateral hereunder is a first, prior, and perfected lien under applicable law; 

(E) The Member has not conveyed or otherwise created, and there does not otherwise exist, any participation interest or other direct, indirect, legal, or beneficial interest in any Collateral on the part of anyone other than the Bank and the Member; 

5 

(F)   Except as may be approved in writing by the Bank, no account debtor or other obligor owing any obligation to the Member with respect to any item of First Mortgage Collateral has or will have any defenses, offsetting claims, or other rights affecting the right of the Member or the Bank to enforce such mortgage, mortgage note or promissory obligation, and no defaults (or conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default) exist under any such writings; and 

   (G) No
    part of any real property or interest in real property that is the subject
    of First Mortgage Collateral which is Qualifying Collateral contains or is
    subject to the effects of toxic or hazardous materials or other hazardous
    substances (including those defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response
    Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §9601,
    et seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. §1801
    et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §6901
    et seq.; and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant
    to said laws) the presence of which could subject the Bank to any liability
    under applicable state or Federal law or local ordinance either at any time
    that such property is pledged to the Bank or upon the enforcement by the Bank
    of its security interest therein. The Member hereby agrees to indemnify and
    hold the Bank harmless against all costs, claims, expenses, damages, and liabilities
    resulting in any way from the presence or effects of any such toxic or hazardous
    substances or materials in, on, or under any real property or interest in
    real property that is subject to or included in the Collateral.  

Section 3.04 Collateral Maintenance Requirement. 

(A) The Member shall at all times maintain as Collateral an amount of Qualifying Collateral which has a Lendable Collateral Value that is at least equal to the then current required Collateral Maintenance Level. The Member shall not assign, pledge, transfer, create any security interest in, sell, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral if: (i) such Collateral has been specified or identified pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof or is held by or on behalf of the Bank pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, or the Bank has otherwise perfected its security interest in such Collateral; or (ii) at the time of or immediately after such action, the Member is not or would not be in compliance with the collateral maintenance requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.04(A) or is otherwise in default under this Agreement. 

(B) Except for Collateral delivered pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, Collateral shall be held by the Member in trust for the benefit of, and subject to the direction and control of, the Bank and will be physically safeguarded by the Member with at least the same degree of care as the Member uses in physically safeguarding its other property.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the Member shall take all action necessary or desirable to protect and preserve the Collateral and the Bank's interest therein, including without limitation the maintaining of insurance on property securing First Mortgage Collateral (such policies and certificates of insurance or guaranty relating to such mortgages are herein called "Insurance"), the collection of payments under all mortgages and under all insurance, and otherwise assuring that all mortgages are serviced in accordance with the standards of a reasonable and prudent mortgagee. 

6 

(C) If any Collateral that was Qualifying Collateral ceases to be Qualifying Collateral and, after such event, the Member is not or would not be in compliance of the collateral maintenance requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.04(A), the Member shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of that fact and, if so requested by the Bank, of the reason that the Collateral has ceased to be Qualifying Collateral. It such Collateral was specified or identified pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, or delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, the Member shall promptly specify, identify, or deliver, as the case may be, other Qualifying Collateral having at least the same Lendable Collateral Value as the Collateral so requested to be withdrawn. 

(D) The Bank may review the form and sufficiency of all documents pertaining to the Collateral. Such documents must be satisfactory to the Bank and, if not, such Collateral may not be acceptable as Qualifying Collateral or may have a Lendable Collateral Value applied thereto that is less than the Lendable Collateral Value otherwise applicable under the Bank's Credit Policy, as the Bank may specify.  The Bank may require that the Member make any or all documents pertaining to the Collateral available to the Bank for its inspection and approval. 

Section 3.05 Specification and Identification of Collateral. 

(A) Upon the Bank's written or oral request, or at such times as shall be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Bank, or promptly, at any time that the Member becomes subject to any mandatory collateral specification requirements that may be established in writing by the Bank and in any case from time to time thereafter until such time as may be agreed upon by the Bank in writing, the Member shall deliver to the Bank a status report and accompanying schedules, all in the form(s) prescribed by the Bank, specifying and describing the First Mortgage Collateral that is certified by the Member to be Qualifying Collateral. 

(B) The Member shall hold each set of First Mortgage Documents which is a part of such specified Collateral in a separate file folder with each file folder clearly labeled with the loan identification number and the name of the borrower(s). Each such file folder shall be clearly marked or stamped with the statement: "The Deed of Trust/Mortgage and Note Relating to This Loan Have Been Assigned to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta." If so requested by the Bank, the Member shall physically segregate any First Mortgage Collateral specified in each status report delivered pursuant to subsection (A) of this Section 3.05 from all other property of the Member in a manner satisfactory to the Bank. 

Section 3.06 Delivery of Collateral. 

(A) Upon the Bank's written or oral request, or promptly at any time that the Member becomes subject to any mandatory collateral delivery requirements that may be established in writing by the Bank, and until such time as may be agreed upon by the Bank in writing, the Member shall deliver to the Bank, or to a custodian designated by the Bank, such First Mortgage Collateral as may be necessary so that the Lendable Collateral Value of Qualifying Collateral held by the Bank, or such custodian, meets or 

7 

exceeds the Collateral Maintenance Level at all times. Collateral delivered to the Bank shall be endorsed or assigned, as appropriate, in recordable form by the Member to the Bunk, as specified by the Bank.  Unless otherwise indicated by the Bank, such endorsements or assignments may be in blanket form provided that there shall be separate endorsements and assignments for each county or recording district in which the real property covered by an item of First Mortgage Collateral is located. The Member need only deliver the First Mortgage Documents relating to the First Mortgage Collateral delivered hereunder together with recordable assignments of the mortgages, unless otherwise directed by the Bank. Concurrently with the initial delivery of Collateral, the Member shall deliver to the Bank a status report and accompanying schedules, all in the form(s) prescribed by the Bank, specifying and describing the Collateral held by the Bank or its custodian and certifying that such
Collateral is Qualifying Collateral. 

(B) The Member agrees to pay to the Bank such reasonable fees and charges as may be assessed by the Bank to cover the Bank's overhead and other costs relating to the receipt, holding, redelivery and reassignment of Collateral and to reimburse the Bank upon request for all recording fees and other reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Bank in connection therewith (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of any custodian, consultant or appraiser that may be appointed by the Bank hereunder, and the agents and legal counsel of the Bank and of such custodian). 

(C) The Member shall, upon request of the Bank, immediately take such other actions as the Bank shall deem necessary or appropriate to perfect the Bank's security interest in the Collateral or otherwise to obtain, preserve, protect, enforce or collect the Collateral or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 3.07 Withdrawal of Collateral.  Upon receipt by the Bank of writings in the form specified by the Bank constituting (i) a request from the Member for the withdrawal of Collateral which has been specified or identified pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof or has been delivered pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof, or as to which the Bank has otherwise perfected its security interest, (ii) a detailed listing of the Collateral to be withdrawn, and (iii) a certificate of a responsible officer of the Member certifying as to the Qualifying Collateral that is specified and identified by the Member or held by the Bank, as appropriate, after such withdrawal, and upon the Bank's determination that the Lendable Collateral Value of the remaining Qualifying Collateral is not less than the current required Collateral Maintenance Level and that the Bank does not require the
Collateral requested to be withdrawn to be maintained as additional Collateral, the Bank shall promptly redeliver, release or reassign to the Member the Collateral specified in the Member's listing of the Collateral to be withdrawn. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, while an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, or at any time that the Bank reasonably and in good faith deems itself insecure, the Member may not obtain any such withdrawal. 

Section 3.08 Reports; Collateral Audits; Access. 

(A) The Member shall furnish to the Bank annually, and at such other times as the Bank may request, an audit report with respect to the Member's Collateral and Qualifying 

8 

Collateral, prepared by the Member's external auditor and in form and substance acceptable to the Bank, and such financial reports and other information relating to the Member's financial condition as the Bank may reasonably request. 

(B) The Member shall furnish to the Bank at such times as the Bank may request, or as necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Bank, a status report with respect to the Member's Collateral prepared by the Member in form and substance acceptable to the Bank, and as of a date within two weeks of the report due date. The status report shall be a written report covering such matters regarding the Collateral as the Bank may require, including listings of mortgages and unpaid principal balances thereof and certifications concerning the status of payments on mortgages and of taxes and insurance on property securing mortgages. 

(C) If so requested by the Bank, the Member shall promptly report to the Bank any event which reduces the principal balance of any mortgage or other item of Collateral by five percent (5%) or more, whether by prepayment, foreclosure sale, insurance or guaranty payment or otherwise. 

(D) The Member shall give the Bank access at all reasonable times to Collateral in the Member's possession and to the Member's books and records of account relating to such Collateral, for the purpose of the Bank's examining, verifying or reconciling the Collateral and the Member's reports to the flank thereon. 

(E) If the Member becomes aware or has reason to believe that the Lendable Collateral Value of the Member's Qualifying Collateral has fallen below the Collateral Maintenance Level, or that a contingency exists which with the lapse of time could result in the Member failing to meet the Collateral Maintenance Level, the Member shall immediately notify the Bank. 

(F)   All Collateral and any matters relating thereto shall be subject to audit and verification by or on behalf of the Bank. Such audits and verifications may occur without notice during the Member's normal business hours or upon reasonable notice at such other times as the Bank may reasonably request. The Member shall provide access to, and shall make adequate working facilities available to, the representatives or agents of the Bank for purposes of such audits. Reasonable fees and charges may be assessed to the Member by the Bank to cover overhead and other costs relating to such audit and verification. 

(G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Member shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of all information and data in each audit or status report (or other writing specifying and describing any Collateral) submitted to the Bank, regardless of the form in which submitted. The Bank shall have no duty to make any independent examination of or calculation with respect to the information submitted in an audit or status report (or in any written schedule that may be submitted by the Member) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank makes no representation or warranty as to the validity, accuracy, or completeness of any information contained in 

9 

any written records of the Bank concerning, or of any response to, such audit or status report. 

Section 3.09 Additional Documentation.  The Member shall make, execute, record and deliver to the Bank such financing statements, notices, assignments, listings, powers, and other documents with respect to the Collateral and the Bank's security interest therein and in such form as the Bank may reasonably require. 

Section 3.10 Bank's Responsibilities as to Collateral. The Bank's duty as to the Collateral shall be solely to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties nor the duty to send notices, perform services, or take any action in connection with the management of the Collateral.  The Bank shall not have any responsibility or liability for the form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument or document constituting a part of the Collateral, or any signature thereon or the description or misdescription, or value of property represented, or purported to be represented, by any such document or instrument. The Member agrees that any and all Collateral may be removed by the Bank from the state or location where
situated, and may be subsequently dealt with by the Bank as provided in this Agreement. 

Section 3.11 Bank's Rights as to Collateral; Power of Attorney. At any time or times, at the expense of the Member, the Bank may in its discretion, before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 4.01 hereof, in its own name or in the name of its nominee or of the Member, do any or all things and take any and all actions that are pertinent to the protection of the Bank's interest hereunder and are lawful under the laws of the State of Georgia, including, but not limited to, the following: 

(A) Terminate any consent given hereunder;

(B) Notify obligors on any Collateral to
  make payments thereon directly to the Bank;

(C) Endorse any Collateral in the Member's
  name;

(D) Enter into any extension, compromise,
  settlement, or other agreement relating to or affecting any Collateral;

(E) Take any action the Member is required
  to take or which is otherwise reasonably necessary to (1) sign and record a
  financing statement or otherwise perfect a security interest in any or all of
  the Collateral or (2) to obtain, preserve, protect, enforce or collect the Collateral;

(F) Take control of any funds or other proceeds
  generated by the Collateral and use the same to reduce Indebtedness as it becomes
  due; and

(G) Cause the Collateral to be transferred
  to its name or the name of its nominee.

The Member hereby appoints the Bank as its true and lawful attorney, for and on behalf of the Member and in its name, place and stead, to prepare, execute and record endorsements and 

10 

assignments to the Bank of all or any item of Collateral, giving or granting to the Bank, as such attorney, full power and authority to do or perform every lawful act necessary or proper in connection therewith as fully as the Member might or could do. The Member hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Bank shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this special power of attorney. This special power of attorney is granted for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the discharge of all Indebtedness and all obligations of the Member hereunder regardless of any default by the Member, is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable for the period granted. 

Section 3.12 Subordination of Other Loans to First Mortgage Collateral.  The Member hereby agrees that all mortgage notes which are part of the First Mortgage Collateral ("pledged notes") shall have priority in right and remedy over any other loans, whenever made, and, however evidenced, which are also secured by the mortgages or security agreements securing the pledged notes.  The pledged notes shall be satisfied out of the property (or proceeds thereof) covered by such mortgages or security agreements before any payment is made on the loans which are not part of the Collateral. To this end, the Member hereby subordinates the lien of such mortgages and security agreements with respect to such other loans to the lien of such mortgages and security agreements with respect to the pledged notes.  The Member further agrees to retain possession of all notes or
other instruments evidencing such other loans and not to pledge, assign, or transfer the same, except insofar as such other loans may be pledged to the Bank as part of the Collateral. 

Section 3.13 Proceeds of Collateral.  The Member, as the Bank's agent, shall collect all payments when due on all Collateral.  If the Bank so requires, the Member shall hold such collections separate from its other monies in one or more designated cash collateral accounts maintained at the Bank and apply them to the reduction of Indebtedness as it becomes due; otherwise, the Bank consents to the Member's use and disposition of all such collections. 

 ARTICLE IV: DEFAULT; REMEDIES 

Section 4.01 Events of Default; Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions of default ("Event of Default"), the Bank may at its option, by a notice to the Member, declare all or any part(s) of the Indebtedness and accrued interest thereon, including any prepayment fees or charges which are applicable to any Advance, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or any further notice: 

(A) Failure of the Member to pay when due any interest on or principal of any Advance; or

(G) Appointment of a conservator, receiver, or similar official for the Member or any subsidiary of the Member, of the Member's property, entry of a judgment or decree adjudicating the Member or any subsidiary of the Member insolvent or bankrupt or an assignment by the Member or any subsidiary of the Member for benefit of creditors; or 

(H) Sale by the Member of all or a material part of the Member's assets or the taking of any other action by the Member to liquidate or dissolve; or

Section 4.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable law which shall include, but not be limited to, all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Georgia. In addition, the Bank may take immediate possession of any of the Collateral or any part thereof wherever the same may be found. The Bank may sell, assign and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale for such price as the Bank deems appropriate without any liability for any loss due to decrease in the market value of the Collateral during the period held.

upon such Collateral without notice to the Member. If any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by applicable law, such notification shall be deemed reasonable and properly given if given as provided by applicable law or in accordance with Section 5.06 hereof at least 5 days before any such disposition. The proceeds of any sale shall be applied in the order that the Bank, in its sole discretion, may choose. The Member agrees to pay all the costs and expenses of the Bank in the collection of the Indebtedness and enforcement of the Bank's rights and remedies in case of default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

entitled thereto, with any remaining surplus paid to the Member. The Member shall be liable to the Bank for any deficiency remaining. 

Section 4.03 Payment of Prepayment Charges. Any prepayment fees or charges applicable to an Advance shall be payable at the time of any voluntary or involuntary payment of all or part of the principal of such Advance prior to the originally scheduled maturity thereof, including without limitation payments that are made as a part of a liquidation of the Member or that become due by operation of law or as a result of an acceleration pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, whether such payment is made by the Member, by a conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee of or for the Member, or by any successor to or any assignee of the Member. 

 ARTICLE V: MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.01 General Representations and Warranties by the Member.  The Member hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and the date of each Advance hereunder: 

(A) The Member is not, and neither the execution of nor the performance of any of the transactions or obligations of the Member under this Agreement shall, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, cause the Member to be: (i) in violation of its charter or articles of incorporation, by-laws, the Act or the Regulations, any other law or administrative regulation, or any court decree; or (ii) in default under or in breach of any material indenture, contract or other instrument or agreement to which the Member is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound. 

(B) The Member has full corporate power and authority and has received all corporate and governmental authorizations and approvals (including without limitation those required under the Act and the Regulations) as may be required to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, to borrow each Advance and to obtain each commitment for Advance.

Section 5.02 Assignment. The Bank may assign or negotiate to any other Federal Home Loan Bank or to any other person or entity, with or without recourse, any Indebtedness of the Member 

13 

or participations therein, and the Bank may assign or transfer all or any part of the Bank's right, title, and interest in and to this Agreement and may assign and deliver the whole or any part of the Collateral to the transferee, which shall succeed to all the powers and rights of the Bank in respect thereof, and the Bank shall thereafter be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility with respect to the transferred Collateral. The Member may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of the Bank. 

Section 5.03 Discretion of the Bank to Grant or Deny Advances. Nothing contained herein or in any documents describing or setting forth the Bank's credit program and credit policies shall be construed as an agreement or commitment on the part of the Bank to grant Advances or extend commitments for Advances hereunder, the right and power of the Bank in its discretion to either grant or deny any Advance or commitment for an Advance requested hereunder being expressly reserved.  The determination by the Bank of Lendable Collateral Value shall not constitute a determination by the Bank that the Member may obtain Advances or commitments for Advances in amounts up to such Lendable Collateral Value. 

Section 5.04 Amendment; Waivers. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing executed by a responsible officer of the party against whom such change is asserted and shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose of which given.  No notice to or demand on the Member in any case shall entitle the Member to any other or further notice or demand in the same, or similar or other circumstances. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof.

effect until specifically waived by the Bank in writing. 

Section 5.05 Jurisdiction; Legal Fees.

The Member agrees that if any action or proceeding is brought by the Member seeking to obtain any legal or equitable relief against the Bank under or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby and such relief is not granted by the final decision, after any and all appeals, of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Member will pay all attorneys' fees and other costs
incurred by the Bank in connection therewith. 

Section 5.06 Notices.  Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section, any written notice, advice, request, consent or direction given, made or withdrawn pursuant to this Agreement shall be either in writing or transmitted electronically and reproduced mechanically by the addressee, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, by telecopy or other facsimile transmission, or by private courier or delivery service. All non-oral notices shall be deemed given when actually received at the principal office of the Bank or the Member, as appropriate. All notices shall be designated to the attention of an office or section of the Bank or of the Member if the Bank or the Member has made a request for the notice to be so addressed.

14 

Any notice by the Bank to the Member pursuant to Sections 3.05 or 3.06 hereof may be oral and shall be deemed to have been duly given to and received by the Member at the time of the oral communication. 

Section 5.07 Signatures of Member.  For purposes of this Agreement, documents shall be deemed signed by the Member when a signature of an authorized signatory or an authorized facsimile thereof appears on the document. The Bank may rely on any signature or facsimile thereof which reasonably appears to the Bank to be the signature of an authorized person, including signatures appearing on documents transmitted electronically to and reproduced mechanically at the Bank. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Member shall from time to time certify to the Bank on forms provided by the Bank the names and specimen signatures of the persons authorized to apply on behalf of the Member to the Bank for Advances and commitments for Advances and otherwise act for and on behalf of the Member in accordance with this Agreement. Such certifications are incorporated
herein and made a part of this Agreement and shall continue in effect until expressly revoked in writing by the Member notwithstanding that subsequent certifications may authorize additional persons to act for and on behalf of the Member. 

Section 5.08 Applicable Law; Severability.  In addition to the terms and conditions specifically set forth herein and in any application or confirmation of Advance between the Bank and the Member, this Agreement and all Advances and all commitments for Advances shall be governed by the statutory and common law of the United States and, to the extent Federal law incorporates or defers to state law, the laws (exclusive of the choice of law provisions) of the State of Georgia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Georgia shall be deemed applicable to this Agreement and to any Advance hereunder and shall govern the attachment and perfection of any security interest granted hereunder. In the event that any portion of this Agreement conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of
this Agreement which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. 

Section 5.09 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Member and the Bank. 

Section 5.10 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between such parties which relate to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the above, rates of interest, repayment schedules, and fees and other charges applicable to Advances and commitments for Advances made by the Bank to the Member prior to the execution of this Agreement shall continue to be governed exclusively by the terms of the prior agreements pursuant to which such Advances and commitments for Advances were made, provided, however, that Section 4.03 hereof shall apply to all Advances.

  obtained from the Bank as of the date hereof is $70,000,000.00, which amounts
  and maturity dates are more particularly described on Exhibit
  "A" attached hereto and incorporated by reference
  herein ("Advances").
  Gold Bank expressly confirms and agrees that Gold Bank shall assume, pay, perform
  and observe each and every one of the covenants, promises, terms, conditions,
  obligations, duties and liabilities of Gold Bank–FL under the Advances
  and Security Agreement, including, without limitation, the

 payment and performance of all Advances
  (collectively, the "Obligations").
  The assumed Advances shall be "Advances" and the Obligations shall be "Indebtedness"
  for all purposes under the Advances and Security Agreement.

          
3.       Security for Obligations. Gold Bank expressly confirms and agrees that the payment and performance by Gold Bank of the Advances and the Obligations shall be secured by the Advances and Security Agreement and the Capital Stock, Government and Agency Securities Collateral and Other Securities Collateral pledged thereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, Gold Bank hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to the Bank, and grants the Bank a security interest in, all of Gold Bank's right, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the "New Collateral'): (i) the Capital Stock, the Government and Agency Securities Collateral and the Other Securities Collateral specified in writing to the Bank as Collateral (as defined in the Advances and Security Agreement) from time to time prior to, on or after the date hereof;
(ii) all investment property, general intangibles, accounts, agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents evidencing or constituting a part of any of the foregoing; (iii) such additional assets as Gold Bank may specify in writing to the Bank, and which is accepted by the Bank as additional Collateral from time to time after the date hereof; and (iv) any and all replacements and proceeds of any of the foregoing. Gold Bank authorizes the Bank to file financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction necessary or appropriate to perfect the Bank's security interest in the New Collateral. The Bank acknowledges and agrees that the First Mortgage Collateral (as defined in the Advances and Security Agreement) and the Other Mortgage Collateral (as defined in the Advances and Security Agreement) are not currently required as Collateral in order to meet the collateral maintenance requirements under the Advances and Security Agreement. Therefore, the Bank hereby
releases and discharges its current security interest in the First Mortgage Collateral, the Other Mortgage Collateral and any and all proceeds thereof.

          
4.       Consent to Merger; Releases Under Joinder Agreement. In consideration of Gold Bank's agreements hereunder, the Bank hereby consents to the Merger for purposes of the Advances and Security Agreement.
