Section 1.12. The Note Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 23.

Section 23.1. Guaranty of Payment. Subject to Section 23.7 below, the Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees to each holder of Notes from time to time the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise). This guaranty is a guaranty of

payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 23.2. Obligations Unconditional; Waivers. The obligations of the Parent hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Parent agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the holders of the Notes without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse of the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and the Parent hereby waives the right to require the holders of the Notes to proceed against any other Obligor or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the holders of the Notes to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. In this connection, the Parent hereby waives the right of the Parent to require any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations to take action against any Obligor as provided in Official Code of Georgia Annotated §10-7-24 or any similar laws. The Parent further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Obligor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations for amounts paid under this guaranty until such time as the holders of the Notes have been irrevocably paid in full and no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the holders of the Notes in connection with monies received under this Agreement. The Parent further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the holders of the Notes from suing on the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement, the Notes, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any of the Parent’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Parent that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Parent’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of an Obligor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of such Obligor. The Parent waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by the holders of the Notes upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty.
