                                  III. WAIVERS

         1.       Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to exercise any rights
which it may acquire by way of subrogation or reimbursement under this Guaranty
as a result of any payment made hereunder or otherwise.

         2.       Guarantor hereby waives (a) any presentment for payment,
notice of nonpayment, demand, protest, or notice of acceptance of this
Agreement, (b) any right to notice of advances made to Borrower from time to

         3.       Guarantor hereby further waives any and all notice of every
kind to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled with respect to the
incurring of any further or increased obligation or liability by Borrower to
Bank, the demand for payment or the payment of all or any obligations or
liabilities of the Borrower or Guarantor to Bank (whether now existing or
hereafter arising) or the presentment of any instrument for payment at any time
in connection with any obligation or liability of the Borrower or Guarantor or
the protest or nonpayment thereof. Guarantor hereby further waives, surrenders,
and agrees not to claim or enforce (i) any right to be subrogated in whole or in

under the Loan Documents or any other collateral given to Bank as security for
the payment or performance of the Obligations and (ii) any right to require the
marshalling of any assets of the Borrower or Guarantor, which right of

                       IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         1.       Guarantor acknowledges that this Agreement is necessary to
induce Bank to advance the credit for the Obligations and Guarantor is willing
and able to deliver this Agreement because Guarantor will receive direct and
material benefit from Bank's extension of credit to Borrower.



                                       3
<PAGE>

         2.       Guarantor is now and will be completely familiar with the
business, operations, and condition of Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives and
relinquishes any duty on the part of Bank to disclose any matter, fact, or thing
relating to the business, operation, or condition of Borrower now known or
hereafter known by Bank.

                           V. DEFAULT AND ENFORCEMENT

         1.       In addition to all liens upon and rights of set-off against
moneys, securities, or other property of Guarantor given to Bank by law or
equity, Bank shall have a lien upon, security interest in, and right of
immediate set-off against all moneys, instruments, notes, bonds, commercial
paper, securities, and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the
possession of or on deposit with Bank, whether held in a general or special
account for deposit, safe-keeping, or otherwise. Every such lien and right of
set-off may be exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement (and expiration of all notice and cure periods), or a default by
Guarantor under this Agreement, and expiration of applicable cure periods,
without further notice or demand to Guarantor, and Bank may sell or cause to be
sold, at public or private sale, in any manner and place which may be lawful,
for cash or credit and upon such terms as Bank may see fit, and without demand
or notice to Guarantor, all or any of such property, and Bank or any other
person may purchase such property, rights, or interests so sold and thereafter
hold the same free of any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right
of equity or redemption of Guarantor, such demand, notice, or right of equity or
redemption being hereby expressly waived and released.

         2.       Each and every right, remedy, and power hereby granted to
Bank or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Bank at any time and from time
to time. In the event that the Obligations of Borrower to Bank exceed in any
respect any amount by which this Agreement may be limited, any payments by
Borrower, or any collections or recovery by Bank from any sources other than
this Agreement, may be applied first by Bank to any portion of the Obligations
which exceeds the limits of this Agreement.

         3.       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in
the Loan Documents to the contrary, Guarantor shall be in default under this
Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement
(and expiration of applicable cure periods). Upon the occurrence of any such
default, Bank may, at its option, accelerate the indebtedness evidenced and
secured by the Loan Documents.

         4.       This shall be an agreement of suretyship as well as of
guaranty, and Bank may proceed directly against Guarantor whenever any payment
or performance required pursuant to the Obligations is not made or rendered to
Bank



                                       4
<PAGE>

without being required to make demand upon or proceed first against Borrower or
any other person or entity, or against any security for Borrower's or
Guarantor's Obligations under the Loan Documents or hereunder, or exhaust its
remedies against Borrower or any other surety or guarantor. It is expressly
agreed that Bank may at any time following an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement or a default by Guarantor hereunder, make demand for payment on, or
bring a claim against, Guarantor.

         5.       If Bank employs counsel to enforce this Agreement by suit or
otherwise, Guarantor will reimburse Bank, upon demand, for all expenses incurred
in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees), whether or not suit is actually instituted.

         6.       Guarantor irrevocably: (a) agrees that Bank or any other
holder or holders of the Note may bring suit, action, or other legal proceedings
arising out of this Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby in the
courts of the State of Tennessee, sitting in Nashville, Davidson County,
Tennessee, or the courts of the United States for the Middle District of
Tennessee, sitting in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, but shall not be
restricted to such courts; (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court
in any such suit, action, or proceeding; and (c) waives any objection which
Guarantor may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or
proceeding in any of such courts.

                             VI. GUARANTY LIABILITY

         1.       Guarantor's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall be in an amount (such amount being referred to herein as the
"Maximum Guaranty Liability") equal to, but not in excess of, the maximum
liability permitted under Title 11 of the United States Code, any other state or
federal laws governing bankruptcy, suspension of payments, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment of debts, dissolution, insolvency, relief of debtors or
creditors' rights and any other similar laws ("Applicable Bankruptcy Law"). To
the extent such obligations otherwise would be subject to avoidance under
Applicable Bankruptcy Law, if Guarantor is deemed not to have received valuable
consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Guarantor's obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents shall be reduced to that amount which, after
giving effect thereto, would not render Guarantor insolvent, or leave Guarantor
with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause Guarantor
to have incurred debts (or to be deemed to have intended to incur debts), beyond
its ability to pay such debts as they mature, at the time such obligations are
deemed to have been incurred under Applicable Bankruptcy Law. As used herein,
the terms "insolvent" and "unreasonably small capital" shall likewise be
determined in accordance with Applicable Bankruptcy Law. This Paragraph 1 is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Bank hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents


                                       5
<PAGE>

to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Bankruptcy Law, and neither the
Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under
this Paragraph 1 that otherwise would not be available under Applicable
Bankruptcy Law. Guarantor agrees that the Obligations at any time and from time
to time may exceed the Maximum Guaranty Liability of Guarantor, without
impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Bank
hereunder.

                               VII. MISCELLANEOUS

         1.       In the event Bank is required at any time to refund or repay
to any person for any reason any sums collected by it on account of the
obligations subject to this Agreement, including but not limited to sums repaid
to a Trustee in Bankruptcy as a result of an avoided preferential transfer or
fraudulent conveyance, Guarantor agrees that all such sums shall be subject to
the terms of this Agreement and that Bank shall be entitled to recover such sums
from Guarantor notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement previously may have
been returned to Guarantor or that Guarantor previously may have been discharged
from further liability under this Agreement.

         2.       Any notice, demand, or request by Bank to Guarantor or by
Guarantor to Bank shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the
Loan Agreement.

         3.       This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
between Guarantor and Bank with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any
clause, provision, or section of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or
invalid by any court, the invalidity of such clause, provision, or section shall
not affect any of the remaining clauses, provisions, or sections hereof and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid clause,
provision, or section had not been contained herein. In case any agreement or
obligation contained in this Agreement be held to be in violation of law, then
such agreement or obligation shall be deemed to be the agreement or obligation
of Guarantor, as the case may be, to the full extent permitted by law.

         4.       No set-off, claim, reduction, or diminution of any obligation
or defense of any kind or nature, which Guarantor or Borrower has or may have
against Bank, shall be available hereunder to Guarantor against Bank.

         5.       No act of commission or omission of any kind or at any time
on the part of Bank in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in any way effect
or impair this Agreement. This Agreement is in addition to and no in
substitution for or discharge of any other suretyship held by Bank.

         6.       This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State
of


                                       6
<PAGE>

Tennessee. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more phrases,
sentences, clauses, or provisions in this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement or any
part thereof.

         7.       This Agreement shall bind Guarantor and Guarantor's successors
and assigns and the benefits hereof shall inure to its successors and assigns.
Bank may, without any notice whatsoever to Guarantor, sell, assign, or transfer
all or any part of the Obligations, and in that event each and every immediate
and successive assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any part of the
Obligations shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, by suit or
otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, or holder, as fully as
though such assignee, transferee, or holder were herein by name given such
rights, powers, and benefits; provided, however, that Bank shall have an
unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any assignee, transferee, or
holder, to enforce this Agreement for the benefit of Bank as to so much of the
Obligation that Bank has not sold, assigned, or transferred.
