shareholder value by providing financial incentives to selected members of its and its affiliates' boards of directors, employees, consultants and advisers who are in positions to make significant
contributions toward that success. It is intended that the Company will, through the grant of Restricted Stock, attract and retain (and allow its affiliates to attract and retain) highly qualified and
competent employees and directors and motivate such employees and directors to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its affiliates.

responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or

annual meeting of its shareholders, the Plan shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that to the extent that Restricted 








Stock
is granted under the Plan prior to its approval by the shareholders of the Company, the grants of Restricted Stock shall be contingent on approval by the shareholders at such annual meeting.
Unless previously terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan (but not any grants then outstanding or the terms thereof) shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board of
Directors. 


ARTICLE II



Restricted Stock Grants  


        2.1   Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan, grant Restricted
Stock to directors, employees, consultants and advisers of the Company under appropriate Restricted Stock Agreements up to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth in
Section 1.3(a). Restricted Stock may be granted pursuant to this Plan with no purchase price or may be sold to a Grantee with a purchase price of less than Fair Market Value. The purchase
price, if any, shall be determined by the Committee. 


        2.2   Rights with Respect to Shares. A Grantee to whom a grant is made pursuant to this Plan shall have all the rights of
ownership with respect to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the same and receive any dividends paid thereon, subject, however, to the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in
this Plan and in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement. 


        2.3   Restricted Stock Requirements. 



        (a)   A
grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement specifying the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted and containing such
other terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee may determine to be applicable to that grant of Restricted Stock. 


        (b)   No
Restricted Stock shall be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date upon which the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors. 



        (c)   The
Committee may provide in the Restricted Stock Agreement for vesting periods which require the passage of time and/or the occurrence of events in order for the
Restricted Stock to vest and become no longer subject to forfeiture. The Committee may provide for acceleration of vesting upon events which may include, but are not limited to, death or disability of
a Grantee or change in control of the Company or related entities. 


        (d)   Prior
to vesting, Restricted Stock shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that shares of Restricted Stock may be
transferred if the transfer is approved in advance in writing by the Committee or Board of Directors in their sole discretion and if such transfer is, for no consideration, to or for the benefit of
the Grantee's Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Grantee's Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited
liability company for one or more members of the Grantee's Immediate Family). For this purpose, "Immediate Family" shall mean the Grantee, and the Grantee's spouse, parents, children, stepchildren,
adoptive relationships, sisters, brothers and grandchildren. Unless transferred with approval as provided in the preceding sentences, Restricted Stock shall not be transferable prior to vesting. 


        (e)   Upon
a grant of Restricted Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee a certificate evidencing such shares of stock and such certificate shall be imprinted with an
appropriate legend referring to or setting forth the applicable restrictions to which the shares of stock represented by such certificate are subject. Upon the vesting of such shares, the Company
shall, at the Grantee's request and upon surrender of the original certificate, provide the Grantee with a new certificate with such legend removed. 


        (f)    The
Committee may provide in the Restricted Stock Agreement for forfeiture of the Restricted Stock granted to a Grantee pursuant to the Plan upon termination of the
Grantee's membership on the Board of Directors, termination of the Grantee's employment with the 










Company,
or nonperformance of performance goals established by the Committee. The Committee may provide for rights of the Company to reacquire such Restricted Stock at the purchase price, if any,
originally paid upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding sentence. In the event that the Committee has provided for forfeiture or reacquisition rights, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2.3(e), the Committee may require the Grantee to deposit with the Company the certificate together with an executed blank stock power. 


        (g)   The
Committee may require the Grantee in the Restricted Stock Agreement to represent that he or she intends to acquire Restricted Stock for investment purposes only and
not for resale or distribution. 



ARTICLE III



General Provisions  


        3.1   Adjustment Provisions. 



        (a)   In
the event of: 



          (i)  payment
of a stock dividend in respect of Restricted Stock or Common Stock; or 


         (ii)  any
recapitalization, reclassification, split-up or consolidation of or other change in the Restricted Stock or Common Stock; or 


        (iii)  any
exchange of the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock or Common Stock in connection with a merger, consolidation or other reorganization of or involving the
Company or a sale by the Company of all or a portion of its assets, for a different number or class of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or for shares of the stock or other securities
of any other corporation; 





then
the Committee shall, in such manner as it may determine in its sole discretion, appropriately adjust the number and class of shares of Restricted Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Plan.
Any such adjustments made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons, including (but not by way of limitation) the Company, the shareholders and directors of the Company,
and any persons having any interest in any Restricted Stock which may be granted under the Plan. 



        (b)   Any
shares of Restricted Stock received by a Grantee as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall have the same status, be subject to the
same restrictions and bear the same legend, if any, as the shares of Restricted Stock received pursuant to the original grant. 


        (c)   Except
as provided above in subparagraph (a) of this Section 3.1, issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class shall not affect the Restricted Stock. 




        3.2   Additional Conditions. Any shares of Restricted Stock issued or transferred under any provision of the Plan may be issued
or transferred subject to such conditions, in addition to those specifically provided in the Plan, as the Committee or the Company may impose. 


        3.3   No Rights to Employment; No Rights to Remain a Director. A grant of Restricted Stock shall not confer upon any Grantee
any rights to employment, any rights to remain a director, or any other relationship with the Company (except as set forth herein), including without limitation any right to continue in the employ of
the Company, nor affect (i) the right of the Company to terminate the employment or other relationship of the Grantee with the Company at any time with or without cause or (ii) the right
of the Board of Directors or the Company's stockholders to remove a Grantee from the Board of Directors. 


        3.4   Legal Restrictions. If in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company the issuance or sale of any shares of Restricted
Stock would not be lawful for any reason, including (but not by way of limitation) the inability or failure of the Company to obtain from any governmental authority or regulatory body the authority
deemed necessary by such counsel for such issuance or sale, the Company 








shall
not be obligated to issue or sell any Restricted Stock to a Grantee or any other authorized person unless the Company receives evidence satisfactory to its legal counsel that the issuance and
sale of the shares would not constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws. The Company shall in no event be obligated to take any action which may be required in order to permit, or to
remedy or remove any prohibition or limitation on, the issuance or sale of such shares to any Grantee or other authorized person. 



        3.5   Rights Unaffected. The existence of Restricted Stock shall not affect: the right or power of the Company and its
shareholders to make adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business; any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stocks affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof; the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or sale or transfer of any part of its assets or business; or any other corporate
act, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 


        3.6   Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the grant of Restricted Stock, the Company may in its sole discretion withhold or
require the Grantee to pay or reimburse the Company for any taxes which the Company determines are required to be withheld in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock. 


        3.7   Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation and administration of the Plan and of any rules, regulations, determinations
or decisions made thereunder, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the laws of the
State of Georgia. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the period within which any action in connection with the Plan must be commenced shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Georgia, without regard to the place where the act or omission complained of took place, the residence of any party to such action or the place where the action may be brought or maintained. 


        3.8   Amendment, Suspension and Termination of Plan. The Plan may from time to time be terminated, suspended or amended by the
Board of Directors in such respects as it may deem advisable. 


        3.9   Headings. The headings in this Plan are for convenience only and are not to be used in interpreting the meaning or effect
of any provisions hereof.
