          WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement as provided in this Agreement;


          WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence repayment of any of such obligations and liabilities (except as expressly provided herein) and that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and re-evidence the obligations of Borrower outstanding thereunder;


          WHEREAS, Borrower desires that the Lender extend term loans and a revolving credit facility to Borrower to, among other things, (a) finance Acquisitions (as hereinafter defined) permitted pursuant to Section 7.2(g) or (h) hereof, (b) refinance certain existing Indebtedness and (c) finance working capital, capital expenditures, and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries subject to the limitations herein; and


          WHEREAS, Borrower desires to secure all of its Obligations (as hereinafter defined) under the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) by granting to Lender a security interest in and lien upon all of its personal property and real property including a pledge of the capital stock of all of its Subsidiaries.


          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:


          1.        DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS.

The Term B Loan is available in one disbursement from Lender on or after the Closing Date and prior to February 28, 2006, so long as (i) the proceeds of the Term B Loan are used to pay the purchase price of that certain Acquisition set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and (ii) Borrower delivers to Lender a certificate confirming that the minimum EBITDA described on Schedule 2 attached hereto has been achieved.


                                     (ii)     Repayment Terms.  Borrower will pay interest on the Term B Loan beginning on March 31, 2006, and on the last day of each June, September, December and March thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), and ending on the Term B Loan Maturity Date.


                                     (iii)     Prepayment Term.  Borrower may prepay the Term B Loan in full or in part at any time.


                                     (iv)     Interest Rate.  The interest rate applicable to the Term B Loan will be the rate per year annum to, as elected by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof, (i) LIBOR plus three percent (3.00%) or (ii) Lender’s Base Rate.


                    2.3     Letters of Credit.




                            (a)     The
Letter of Credit Commitment.


                                     (i)     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including, without limitation, the requirements of Section 4.2, Lender agrees from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such issuance, (y) the Total Outstandings under the Revolving Commitment (including the requested L/C Credit Extension) would exceed
the Revolving Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly, Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.


                                     (ii)     Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:


- 19 -









                                               (A)     any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Lender shall prohibit, or request that Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which Lender in good faith deems material to it; 


                                               (B)     the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal;


                                               (C)     the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date;


                                               (D)     the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Lender; or 


                                               (E)     such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, or is to used for a purpose other than those purposes described at Section 6.11 or be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.


                                     (iii)     Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.


                            (b)     Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.


                                     (i)     Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to Lender in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.


                                     (ii)     Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application by Lender at the address set forth in Schedule 9.2 for receiving Letter of Credit Applications and related correspondence, if the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with Lender’s usual and customary business practices.


- 20 -









                                     (iii)     Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, Lender will also deliver to Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.


                                     (iv)     If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, Lender may, in it sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by 
Lender, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to Lender for any such renewal. Lender shall not permit any such renewal if (A) Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof or (B) one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit at any time.


                            (c)     Drawings and Reimbursements.


                                     (i)     Upon receipt from  the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, Lender shall notify Borrower thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, on the date of any payment by Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If Borrower fails to so reimburse Lender by such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.4 for the principal amount
of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).  Any notice given by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, however, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.


                                     (ii)     With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 


- 21-









                            (d)     Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:


                                     (i)     any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;


                                     (ii)     the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;


                                     (iii)     any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;


                                     (iv)     any payment by Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or


                                     (v)     any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower.


Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of non-compliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify Lender.  Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.


                            (e)     Role of Lender.  Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law
or


- 22-









under any other agreement.  Lender, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.3(d); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against Lender, and Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.


                            (f)     Cash Collateral.  Upon the request of Lender, (i) if Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be).  Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as issuer of Letters of Credit, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds
of the foregoing.  Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.


                            (g)     Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Commitment Fee times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit).  Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and thereafter on demand.


                            (h)     Applicability of ISP98 and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to
each commercial Letter of Credit.


- 23-









                            (i)     Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.


                    2.4    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.


                            (a)     Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Lender, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or of any conversion of LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if Borrower requests LIBOR Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the
applicable notice must be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, Lender shall notify Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been accepted by Lender.  Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) must be promptly by delivery to Lender of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof.  Each Borrowing of or a conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof.  Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBOR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, the applicable Loans shall be made, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans.  If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.


                            (b)     Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Loans without the consent of Lender.  Further, during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may demand that any or all of the then outstanding LIBOR Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts due under Section 3.4 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion.


- 24 -









                            (c)     Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  The determination of the LIBOR by Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  


                    2.5    Prepayments.  Borrower may, upon notice to Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof, or, in each case, if less,
the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and whether such prepayment is to be applied to the Revolving Credit Loan or the Term Loans.  If Borrower specifies the Term Loans, prepayments shall be applied first, to the Term B Loan, until the same has been repaid in full; and second, to the Term A Loan, until the same has been repaid in full.  If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  If no notice is given, prepayments shall be applied first, to the Revolving Credit Loan; second, to the Term B Loan and; third, to the Term A Loan.  Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.4.


                    2.6    Default Rate.  If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Furthermore, while any Event of Default exists (or after acceleration), Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand.


                    2.7    Interest Payable in Arrears.  Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.


                    2.8    Commitment Fees; Lender’s Upfront Fee.


                            (a)     Revolving Commitment Fee.  Borrower shall pay to Lender a commitment fee equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment (to include the Letter of Credit Sublimit) exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loan and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C


- 25 -









Obligations.  The commitment fee shall accrue at all times prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article 4 are not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.


                            (b)     Lender’s Upfront Fee.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an upfront fee in an amount of One Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($195,000).  The upfront fee is for the credit facilities committed by Lender under this Agreement and will be fully earned on the date paid.  The upfront fee paid to Lender is non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.


                            (c)     Term Loan Commitment Fee.  For each day prior to the advance of the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan (or termination of the Commitments with respect thereto),  Borrower shall pay to Lender a commitment fee equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) times the Commitments then outstanding (excluding the Revolving Commitment).  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears on March 31, 2006.


                    2.9    Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  All other computations of interest and all fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day.


                    2.10  Payments Generally.


                            (a)     (i)     All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender, at Lender’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 5:00 p.m., Atlanta time, on the date specified herein.  All payments received by Lender after 5:00 p.m., Atlanta time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  


                                     (ii)     On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees are due hereunder or under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Lender (as such account shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to Lender from time to time, the “Borrower Account”) an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or  fees in full on such date.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from Borrower Account, and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made
when due to deduct  any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at Lender.  Lender agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction.  


- 26 -









                            (b)     If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.


                    2.11  Collateral.  Borrower’s Obligations to Lender under this Agreement will be secured by the Collateral which Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries now or hereafter owns.  The Collateral is defined in the Borrower Security Agreement, the Subsidiary Security Agreement, the Borrower’s Stock Pledge Agreement and the Subsidiary Stock Pledge Agreement.  All Collateral securing this Agreement shall also secure all other present and future obligations of Borrower and each Subsidiary to Lender, and all Collateral securing any other present or future obligation of Borrower or any Subsidiary to Lender shall also secure this Agreement.


                    2.12  Mandatory Repayments.


                            (a)     Asset Sales.  On the first Business Day following the receipt by any Loan Party of net cash proceeds from the sale or disposition of any assets (including by way of casualty or condemnation), and other than asset sales in the ordinary course of business, the Loans shall be repaid by an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such net cash proceeds, together with any accrued interest on the portion of the Loans repaid; provided, however, that with respect to the Subsidiary Sale, no repayment shall be required under this clause (a) with any net cash proceeds thereof in excess of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000).


                            (b)     Issuance and Incurrence of Indebtedness.  On the first Business Day following the receipt by any Loan Party of net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after the Closing Date of Indebtedness of Borrower other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, the Loans shall be repaid by an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such net cash proceeds, together with any accrued interest on the portion of the Loans repaid.

outstanding as of the date hereof, preferred stock and warrants issued to Lightyear pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee Commitment Letter between Lightyear and Borrower dated as of the date hereof (or the exercise thereof), or options currently outstanding or issued pursuant to employee benefit plans or (iii) with respect to equity issued as payment for services or property.


- 27 -









All repayments under this Section 2.12 shall be applied first, to the Term B Loan, second, to the Term A Loan, and third to the Revolving Credit Loan, which shall result in a concurrent reduction of the Revolving Commitment.


                    2.13  Renewal Option.  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request by Borrower delivered to Lender no later than sixty (60) days prior to each of the Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Lender will determine, in its sole discretion, whether Lender is willing to extend each of the Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for a period of twelve (12) calendar months from the then current Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  Lender shall, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written request, advise Borrower whether Lender is willing to so extend each of the Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  If Lender and Borrower agree to so
extend each of the Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, such agreement shall be evidenced by appropriate amendments to the Loan Documents, executed by all applicable parties, on terms and conditions similar to those provided herein.


            3.     YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY.


                    3.1     Taxes.


                            (a)     Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Lender’s overall net income and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes) as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (which shall forward the same to
such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.


- 28 -









                            (b)     In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).


                            (c)     If Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) that Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.


                            (d)     Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.1(c) and (iii) if Borrower fails to pay any Tax or Other Tax due to any appropriate Governmental Authority any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender makes a demand therefor.


                            (e)     Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.


                            (f)     If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and


- 29 -









without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, nor shall Lender be obligated to seek any refund.


                    3.2    Illegality.  If Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower through Lender, any obligation of Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Lender notifies Lender and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from Lender prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.4 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion.  Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to Lender.


                    3.3    Inability to Determine Rates.  If Lender determines in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof for any reason that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank LIBOR market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or (c) the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan, Lender will promptly so notify Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Lender revokes such
notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.


                    3.4    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBOR Loans.


                            (a)     Except with respect to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.1, if Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes


- 30 -









of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from reserve requirements utilized, as to LIBOR Loans, in the determination of the LIBOR), then from time to time upon demand of Lender (with a copy of such demand to Lender), Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduction.


                            (b)     If Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or any corporation controlling Lender as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction.


                    3.5     Funding Losses.  Upon demand of Lender from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate Lender for and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:


                            (a)     any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or


                            (b)     any failure by Borrower to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; 


including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the foregoing.


For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lender under this Section 3.5, Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it at the LIBOR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank LIBOR market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.


                    3.6     Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.  A certificate of Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 and setting forth the calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.


                    3.7     Survival.  All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Revolving Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

                            (a)     The representations and warranties of Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article 5 or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, conversion or continuation, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.2, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.5 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.1.


                            (b)     No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed Credit Extension, conversion or continuation.


                            (c)     Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements hereof.


- 34 -

                            (e)     Borrowing would not be in excess of the appropriate Commitment. 


                            (f)     For the first Credit Extension, Lender shall have received a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying a calculation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of Borrower most recently ended prior to the Closing Date, which calculation will show that there is no Default in any financial covenant required hereunder, including calculations showing that (i) Borrower’s EBITDA, calculated for the twelve month period ending on December 31, 2005, is not less than Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,700,000) and (ii) EBITDA, described on Schedule 2 attached hereto, calculated for the twelve month period ending on December 31, 2005, after add-backs agreed
to by Borrower and Lender, is not less than the amount set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.


                  Each Request for Credit Extension submitted by Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 4.2(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.


          5.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Borrower makes the following representations and warranties, which are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct on the closing date, and will be true and correct as of the date of each credit extension (except as modified in accordance with Section 4.2(a)):

not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


                  5.2     Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law; provided, for any conflict, breach, or contravention described in subsection (b) to constitute a breach of the representation of this
Section 5.2, such conflict, breach or contravention must be material as to its effect on the Loan, Borrower, any Loan Document, or otherwise.


- 35 -









                  5.3     Governmental Authorization.  No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

                            (d)     exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents or applicable law;


provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of Lender to make Loans and any obligation of Lender to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of Lender.

Subject to Section 2.3(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.


          9.     MISCELLANEOUS.

- 56 -









                            (b)     Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures.  Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile.  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties and Lender.  Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.


                            (c)     Limited Use of Electronic Mail.  Electronic mail and internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

All telephonic notices to and other communications with Lender may be recorded by Lender, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.


                  9.3     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.


                  9.4     Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and
expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.


- 57 -









                  9.5     Indemnification by Borrower.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) the Commitment, Loans or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of
whether Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demand, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.  All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable within
ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.


                  9.6     Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Lender, or Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) Borrower severally agrees to pay to Lender upon demand
its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Lender, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect.


                  9.7     Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


- 58 -









                  9.8     Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


                  9.9     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


                  9.10   Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.


                  9.11   Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.


                  9.12   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

BORROWER AND LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.  BORROWER AND LENDER WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.


                  9.14   Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY.


                  9.15   Arbitration.


                            (a)     This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between Borrower and the Lender, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this Agreement (collectively a “Claim”).


- 60 -









                            (b)     At the request of Borrower or the Lender, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the “Act”).  The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.


                            (c)     Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (“JAMS”), and the terms of this paragraph.  In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control.


                            (d)     The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted in Atlanta, Georgia.  All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators.  All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing.  However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the
award.  The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.


                            (e)     The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit.  Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitral shall be determined by the arbitrator(s).  The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


                            (f)     This paragraph does not limit the right of Borrower or the Lender to: (i)  exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv)  act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.


                  9.16   Confidentiality.  The Lender shall not disclose any non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement other than disclosures reasonably required by any bona fide assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment or transfer by the Lender of any Loans or any participations therein and other than disclosures required by a Governmental Authority or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Lender shall notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such
information.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Closing Date and which remain outstanding; (b) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby); (c) the Liens and security interests as granted under the Collateral Documents securing payment of such “Obl

igations” are
in all respects continuing and in full force and effect; (d) references in the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement, and to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing, each such Loan Document is hereby deemed amended accordingly, (e) all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to apply for the period prior to the Closing Date, including any determinations of payment dates, interest rates, Events of Default or any amount that may be payable to the Lender (or its assignees or replacements hereunder), (f) the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to be paid or prepaid on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall from and after the Closing Date continue to be owing and be subject to the terms of this Agreement, (f) all references in the Loan Documents to “Lender” shall mean such terms as defined in this Agreement.


- 62 -









                            (b)     Borrower and the Lender and the other parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all principal, interest, fees, costs, reimbursable expenses and indemnification obligations accruing or arising under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement which remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Closing Date shall be and remain outstanding and payable as an obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 


                  9.21   Existing Agreements Superseded.  As set forth herein, the Existing Credit Agreement is superseded by this Agreement, which has been executed in renewal, amendment, restatement and modification, but not in novation or extinguishment of, the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement.
