                                    RECITALS:

A.       Landlord, as landlord, and Sublandlord, as tenant, are parties to that
         certain lease agreement dated July 13, 2000 (the "Lease") pursuant to
         which Landlord has leased to Sublandlord certain premises currently

         known as Suite Nos. 1600, 1620 and 1680 on the 16th floor of the
         building commonly known as Prominence in Buckhead located at 3475
         Piedmont Road, NE, Atlanta, Georgia (the "Building").

B.       Sublandlord and Subtenant have entered into that certain sublease
         agreement dated August 15, 2000, attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the
         "Sublease Agreement") pursuant to which Sublandlord has agreed to
         sublease to Subtenant certain premises described as follows: 1,040
         rentable square feet on the 16th floor of the Building, (the "Sublet
         Premises") constituting a part of the Premises.

C.       Sublandlord and Subtenant have requested Landlord's consent to the
         Sublease Agreement.

D.       Landlord has agreed to give such consent upon the terms and conditions
         contained in this Consent.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing preambles which by
this reference are incorporated herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease Agreement subject to the following
terms and conditions, all of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed to by
Sublandlord and Subtenant:

1.       Sublease Agreement and Lease. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby
         represent that a true and complete copy of the Sublease Agreement is
         attached hereto and made a part hereof as EXHIBIT A. Notwithstanding
         anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease Agreement to the
         contrary, all parties agree that the "Lease", as defined in the
         Sublease Agreement, shall be deemed to mean the Lease, as described in
         Recital A above.

2.       Representations. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants that
         Sublandlord (i) has full power and authority to sublease the Sublet
         Premises to Subtenant, (ii) has not transferred or conveyed its
         interest in the Lease to any person or entity collaterally or
         otherwise, and (iii) has full power and authority to enter into the
         Sublease Agreement and this Consent. Subtenant hereby represents and
         warrants that Subtenant has full power and authority to enter into the
         Sublease Agreement and this Consent.

3.       Indemnity and Insurance. Subtenant hereby assumes, with respect to
         Landlord, all of the indemnity and insurance obligations of the
         Sublandlord under the Lease with respect to the Sublet Premises,
         provided that the foregoing shall not be construed as relieving or
         releasing Sublandlord from any such obligations.

4.       No Release. Nothing contained in the Sublease Agreement or this Consent
         shall be construed as relieving or releasing Sublandlord from any of
         its obligations under the Lease, it being expressly understood and
         agreed that Sublandlord shall remain liable for such obligations
         notwithstanding anything contained in the Sublease Agreement or this
         Consent or any subsequent assignment(s), sublease(s) or transfer(s) of
         the interest of the tenant under the Lease. Sublandlord shall be
         responsible for the collection of all rent due it from Subtenant, and
         for the performance of all the other terms and conditions of the
         Sublease Agreement, it being understood that Landlord is not a party to
         the Sublease Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
         contained in the Sublease Agreement, is not bound by any terms or
         provisions contained in the Sublease Agreement and is not obligated to
         Sublandlord or Subtenant for any of the duties and obligations
         contained therein.

5.       Administrative Fee. Upon Sublandlord's execution and delivery of this
         Consent, Sublandlord shall pay to Landlord the sum of $750.00 in
         consideration for Landlord's review of the Sublease Agreement and the
         preparation and delivery of this Consent.

6.       No Transfer. Subtenant shall not further sublease the Sublet Premises,
         assign its interest as the Subtenant under the Sublease Agreement or
         otherwise transfer its interest in the Sublet Premises or the Sublease
         Agreement to any person or entity without the written consent of
         Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.

7.       Lease. In no event shall the Sublease Agreement or this Consent be
         construed as granting or conferring upon the Sublandlord or the
         Subtenant any greater rights than those contained in the Lease nor
         shall there be any diminution of the rights and privileges of the
         Landlord under the Lease. Without limiting the scope of the preceding
         sentence, any construction or alterations performed in or to the Sublet
         Premises shall be performed with Landlord's prior written approval and
         in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease.

8.       Services. Sublandlord hereby authorizes Subtenant, as agent for
         Sublandlord, to obtain services and materials for or related to the
         Sublet Premises, and Sublandlord agrees to pay for such services and
         materials as additional Rent under the Lease upon written demand from
         Landlord. However, as a convenience to Sublandlord, Landlord may bill
         Subtenant directly for such services and materials, or any portion
         thereof, in which event Subtenant shall pay for the services and
         materials so billed upon written demand, provided that such billing
         shall not relieve Sublandlord from its primary obligation to pay for
         such services and materials.

9.       Attornment. If the Lease or Sublandlord's right to possession
         thereunder terminates for any reason prior to expiration of the
         Sublease Agreement, Subtenant agrees, at the election of Landlord, to
         attorn to Landlord upon the then executory terms and conditions of the
         Sublease Agreement for the remainder of the term of the Sublease
         Agreement. If Landlord does not so elect, the Sublease Agreement and
         all rights of Subtenant in the Sublet Premises shall terminate upon the
         date of termination of the Lease or Sublandlord's right to possession
         thereunder.

10.      Sublandlord Notice Address. If Sublandlord is subleasing the entire
         Premises or otherwise vacating the Premises, Sublandlord shall provide
         Landlord with a new address for notices to Sublandlord under the Lease.
         If Sublandlord fails to provide Landlord with written notice of such
         new address, then Landlord may continue to send notices to Sublandlord
         at the address(es) provided in, and in accordance with the terms of,
         the Lease.

11.      Payments Due Under the Sublease. As described in Sectio XIII.C. of the
         Lease, if at any time Sublandlord is in default under the terms of the
         Lease, Landlord shall have the right to contact Subtenant and require
         Subtenant to pay all sums due under the Sublease Agreement directly to
         Landlord until such time as Sublandlord has cured such default.
         Subtenant agrees to pay such sums directly to Landlord if requested by
         Landlord, and Sublandlord agrees that any such sums paid by Subtenant
         shall be deemed applied against any sums owed by Subtenant under the
         Sublease Agreement. Any such sums received by Landlord from Subtenant
         shall be received by Landlord on behalf of Sublandlord and shall be
         applied by Landlord to any sums past due under the Lease, in such order
         of priority as required under the Lease or, if the Lease is silent in
         such regard, then in such order of priority as Landlord deems
         appropriate.

12.      Lease Modifications. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the
         provisions in Section 9(iii) of the Sublease or any other provisions
         therein which limit the manner in which Sublandlord may amend the Lease
         are binding only upon Sublandlord and Subtenant as between such
         parties. Landlord shall not be bound in any manner by such provisions
         and may rely upon Sublandlord's execution of any agreements amending
         the Lease subsequent to the date hereof notwithstanding the aforesaid
         terms and provisions of the Sublease, including Section 9(iii) of the
         Sublease.

13.      Representation of Landlord. Effective as of January 15, 2001, Landlord
         hereby represents to Subtenant, that, to the knowledge of Landlord,
         Sublandlord is not in default under the terms of the Lease and has paid
         all sums due under the Sublease through January 15, 2001.

14.      Counterparts. This Consent may be executed in counterparts and shall
         constitute an agreement binding on all parties notwithstanding that all
         parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart
         provided that all parties are furnished a copy or copies thereof
         reflecting the signature of all parties.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant have executed
this Consent as of the date set forth above.
