Section 8.11. No Set-Off. The Company's obligations to make all payments
and honor all commitments under this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances including, without
limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
the Company may have against Executive, except that offsets for amounts
previously paid shall be permitted to the extent expressly provided in Sections
4.01(c) and 5.04.
Section 8.12. Entire Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8.07, this
Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, represents the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to Executive's employment and/or severance

discussions, negotiations, and agreements concerning such rights, including, but
not limited to, the Old Employment Agreement and any prior severance agreement
made between Executive and the Company.
Section 8.13. Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company shall withhold from any amounts payable under this
Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as are legally required to be
withheld.

any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
continuing waiver or as a consent to or waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.
Section 8.15. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement
shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall
be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without reference
