Dear Larry:

 

This letter is submitted pursuant to the discussion that took place during the
meeting of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of
Directors on Tuesday, August 12, 2003.

 

The consensus of the Committee, as you know, was that the oral agreement (the
“Agreement”) made between you and the company on or about July 24, 2001,
pertaining to your use of the company’s co-owned aircraft, at the time you were
offered and accepted your current position with the company, should be
documented in writing.

 

It was and remains the belief of the Committee that your use of the aircraft
contributes to your security and safety and thereby benefits the Company.
Confirming prior practice based on this belief and based on the Committee’s
knowledge of the Agreement, the Committee hereby confirms that, consistent with
past practice, you, and accompanying family members, are entitled to the weekly
use of the aircraft for your transportation between Lagrange, Georgia and your
home in Florida or, alternatively, to the home of a family member. The Committee
further confirms that such transportation will be provided at company expense
and that your compensation will be adjusted to the extent necessary to avoid any
adverse tax consequence to you.

 

Please sign this letter below to acknowledge that this arrangement represents
the Agreement made with you on or about July 24, 2001.

By:   /s/    Donald W. Burton               /s/    Larry F. Williams
