STANDARD PARKING ANNOUNCES NEW

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

CHICAGO, September 3, 2003 – Standard Parking, one of the largest operators of parking facilities in North America, announced today that it has closed a new $65 million senior credit facility.

The lenders under the credit facility, which runs through June, 2006, are LaSalle Bank and investment funds managed by GoldenTree Asset Management, L.P. The new credit facility enabled Standard Parking to repay its term loan obligations to Bank One and will enable the company to continue to pursue its long-term business objectives.

In commenting on the new credit facility, Standard Parking President and CEO, James A. Wilhelm, said “I am pleased that the lending community has shown such solid confidence in our organization by extending to us attractive terms to facilitate our continued growth. I am also proud of the effort of our outstanding group of parking professionals, who have contributed as a team to six consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth in a down economic cycle.” Wilhelm’s comments also extended appreciation to Chicago’s LaSalle Bank, which “has shown its continuing support for our company ever since the days it became our bank in 1986.”

Standard Parking has approximately 11,800 employees nationwide and manages parking facilities in over 270 cities spanning 43 states and four Canadian provinces.
