                                    ---------

     Borrower is indebted to Bank under a Revolving Loan (the "Initial Loan")
in the maximum principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,500,000) evidenced by Revolving Note (as amended and modified, the "Initial
Note") dated as of June 24, 1999 from Borrower to Bank, as amended by Revolving.
Note Modification Agreement dated as of the date hereof. Borrower is in default
under the Initial Revolving Loan, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that,
Bank is therefore, authorized and has the right, to exercise its rights and
remedies under the documents (collectively, the "Initial Loan Documents")
evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Initial Revolving Loan in
regard to such defaults. Borrower has requested Bank, and Bank has agreed, to
place in abeyance its rights under the Initial Loan Documents in regard to any
defaults existing thereunder as of December 31, 1999, such abeyance to be
effective so long as Borrower fullfills all obligations under this Agreement.
Borrower has also requested Bank to make available to Borrower an additional
line of credit (the "Additional Loan") aggregating up to Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000), and the Bank is willing to make the Additional Loan
available to the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and
secured as provided in this Agreement. The Additional Loan is evidenced by a
Line of Credit Promissory Note (the "Additional Note") executed by Borrower as
of the date hereof for the benefit of Bank in the maximum principal amount of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Borrower conducts and will conduct its
business such that the Initial Loan, the Additional Loan and all other
obligations outstanding from Bank to Borrower inure to and will inure to the
direct and material benefit of Borrower and all guarantors of such obligations
and liabilities. This Agreement does not supersede or constitute a novation of
the Initial Loan Documents or any other agreements between Borrower and Bank. It
imposes additional obligations upon Borrower in light of the existing defaults
under the Initial Loan Documents better to enable Bank to monitor Borrower, the
loans outstanding from Bank to Borrower and the collateral for those loans. In
the event of any conflict between the Initial Loan Documents and this Agreement,

                                    THE LOAN
                                   ----------

    2.1. Initial Loan.
         ------------

         (a)  Subject to all terms set forth herein but only-during the
Commitment Period and for so long as no Event of Default exists, Bank agrees,
from time to time and on the terms hereinafter set forth, to loan to Borrower,
when requested by Borrower, principal amounts under the Loans aggregating up to
the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 or (ii) the Aggregate Loan Values as determined by
the Bank from the periodic reports submitted by Borrower to the Bank. Within the
aforesaid limits, the Borrower may borrow, make payments, and reborrow under
this Agreement, subject to the provisions hereof. Advances made under the
Initial Loan shall be subject to the Initial Note. Advances made under the
Additional Loan shall be subject to the Additional Note.

                                        9


          (b)  The obligation to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by the Notes
payable to the order of the Bank and maturing upon the earlier to occur of an
Event of Default or the expiration of the Commitment Period. Amounts due under
the Notes and otherwise under this Agreement and under the Loan Documents shall
be reflected in the Loan Account.

          (c)  Borrower shall submit a Borrower's Report in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" (or in such other form as may be furnished by Bank from
time to time) on the date of this Agreement and at least weekly (or at Bank's
request, daily) thereafter during the term of this Agreement. Bank may, in its
sole discretion, require that each advance made under the Loan be effected by
Borrower's submitting (and the Bank's receiving) a Borrower's Report at least
one Business Day prior to the date Borrower desires the advance to be made. Bank
shall, if all the terms and provisions of this Agreement have been met,
including, without limitation, the absence of an Event of Default hereunder,
make such advances. Each such Borrower's Report shall be signed by an officer
or employee of Borrower authorized by Borrower to execute such reports, whose
name(s) shall be included in a certificate furnished to the Bank.

          (d)  At its discretion, Bank may make advances to Borrower under the
Loan without specific request by automatic advance based on availability in
accordance with procedures established by Bank. In addition, as an accommodation
to Borrower, Bank may permit telephonic requests for loans and electronic
transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Bank by
Borrower. Unless Borrower specifically directs Bank in writing not to accept or
act upon telephonic or electronic communications from Borrower, Bank shall have
no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a
result of Bank's honoring of any requests execution of any instructions,
authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to Bank
telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Bank by
Borrower and Bank shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such
communication or the authority of the person sending it.

          (e)  If the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at any time
exceeds the lesser of $2,000,000 or the Aggregate Loan Values as reflected on
the Borrower's Report, the Borrower shall immediately, upon demand by Bank, pay
the Bank an amount equal to such excess as a payment on the principal amount of
the Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, which provision may be enforced by
Bank at any time and which provision, as well as the other provisions hereof,
may not under any circumstance be waived or altered by a course of dealing or
otherwise, insofar as Borrower may request and Bank may be willing in its sole
and absolute discretion to make Overadvances, Bank shall enter such Overadvances
as debits in the Loan Account. All Overadvances shall be payable on demand,
shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest as provided in this
Agreement for Loans generally. Bank may in its sole discretion honor any request
(or deemed request) for an advance even though an Overadvance Condition then
exists, or, would exist with the making of such advance, and without regard to
the existence of, and without waiving, any default or Event of Default.

          (f)  Each borrowing under the Loan shall be effected by crediting the
amount thereof to the regular checking account of Borrower maintained with the
Bank or with another bank approved by the Bank.

          (g)  The principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest in
accordance with the respective Notes. Interest shall be paid to Bank on the
amount of the Loan outstanding and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the
first day of each month beginning with May 1, 2000, and continuing on the same
day of each month thereafter through and until such time as there remains no
unpaid principal balance on the amounts advanced to the Borrower. The applicable
interest rate on the Loan shall

                                       10


change as and when the Base Rate or other applicable reference rate changes from
time to time. Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year (i.e.,
computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days unless
reference to a 365 or a 366-day year is necessary in order not to exceed the
highest rate permitted by Applicable Law). From and after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time
shall, subject to the provisions of the following subsection, bear interest at
the Default Rate.

          (h)  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the provisions herein and
in the Note relating to the Default Rate represent a fair and reasonable
estimate by Borrower and Bank of a fair average compensation for the loss that
may be sustained by Bank due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments
with respect to the Obligations and for the cost and expenses that may be
incurred by Bank by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the parties
recognizing that the damages caused by such extra administrative expenses and
loss of the use of funds is impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain or
estimate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid without prejudice to the
rights of Bank to collect any other amounts provided to be paid hereunder.

     2.5. Loan Account. Bank shall enter disbursements hereunder or under the
          ------------
Note as debits to the Loan Account and shall also record in the Loan Account all
payments made by Borrower and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid
to Bank, and may record therein in accordance with customary accounting
practice, all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrower hereunder.

     2.6. Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the indebtedness
          ----------
represented hereby at any time without premium or penalty upon forty-five (45)
days advance notice to Bank.

     2.7. Term. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until the Loan
          ----
and the Obligations, and any renewals or extensions, and all interest thereon
and costs provided for herein with regard to either of them have been
indefeasibly paid or satisfied in full and until the Bank has no further
obligation to advance funds to the Borrower hereunder. The indemnities provided
for in Article XI shall survive the payment in full of the Loan and the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     2.8. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan for
          ---------------
working capital purposes only.

     2.9. Payments. All sums paid to the Bank by Borrower hereunder shall be
          --------
paid directly to the Bank in immediately available funds no later than 2:00
P.M., Atlanta, Georgia time on the date on which payment is due, except if such
date is not a Business Day such payment shall then be due on the first Business
Day after such date, but interest shall continue to accrue until the date
payment is received. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia, time
shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately following Business Day
for all purposes, including, without limitation, the accrual of interest on
principal. The Bank shall send Borrower statements of all amounts due hereunder,
which statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on the
Borrower unless the Borrower notifies the Bank to the contrary within ten (10)
days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect. The Bank
may, in its sole discretion, (a) charge against any deposit account of the
Borrower all or any

                                       11


part of any amount due hereunder, including, without limitation, the fees and
expenses of the Bank to be paid by Borrower as provided for in Sections 12.1
through 12.3 of this Agreement, any advances made by Bank to protect the
Collateral, and any commitment or servicing fee due the Bank, and (b) advance to
Borrower, and charge to the Loan, a sum sufficient each month to pay all
interest accrued on the Loan and fees and expenses due under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Bank to be paid by
Borrower as provided for in Sections 12.1 through 12.3 of this Agreement, any
advances made by Bank to protect the Collateral, and any commitment or servicing
fee due the Bank, during or for the immediately preceding month or any month
prior. Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an advance under the Loan upon
the occurrence of an overdraft in any of Borrower's checking accounts maintained
with the Bank or another bank owned by SouthTrust Corporation.

     2.10. Application of Payments. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to
           -----------------------
direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or
times hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of Borrower or from any of
the Collateral, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Bank shall have
the continuing exclusive right to apply such payments and collections received
at any time or times hereafter by Bank or its agent against the Obligations, in
such manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon
any of its books and records. If as the result of collections of Accounts or for
any other reason, a credit balance exists in the Loan Account, such credit
balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower but shall be available to
Borrower at any time or times for so long as no Event of Default exists.

     2.11. Limitations.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the
           -----------
Bank may, in its sole discretion, at any time limit the amount of the Loan
advanced to the Borrower to an amount less than the Aggregate Loan Values. The
Loan shall, notwithstanding any course of dealing or conduct on the part of the
parties hereto, or any other covenants or undertakings of the parties hereunder,
be fully due and payable without further notice or demand from Bank upon the
expiration of the Commitment Period. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

           --------
following:

                                       13


          (a)  A first priority security interest in Borrower's Accounts,
General Intangibles, Equipment, and Inventory, the Collateral, and other
properties and interests as provided for in Section 8.1 and other parts of this
Agreement hereof,

          (b)  The unconditional guarantee of Guarantor;

          (c)  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          Part of the Equipment may constitute motor vehicles and other vehicles
subject to registration under the motor vehicle title registration statutes of
Georgia or other states, and with respect to which the security interest of Bank
therein is required to be registered on the vehicle title certificate. Borrower

instruments as shall be necessary to convey to Bank a first-priority perfected
security interest in all such motor vehicles and other Equipment.

          Part of the Equipment may be affixed to real estate owned or leased
by Borrower and constitute fixtures under the Uniform Commercial Code. The
Borrower agrees that any such fixtures shall be included within the meaning of
Equipment as used and defined herein and that the Bank is hereby granted a
security interest in and a lien upon such fixtures.

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Georgia, has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its

          ---------------------------------
authority to enter into this Agreement, to borrow hereunder, to execute and

                          ---------------------------

     8.1.  Security Interest. As security for the payment of the Loans and all
           -----------------
other Obligations, now existing or in the future incurred, and including any
extensions or renewals or changes in form of the Loans, any Overadvances, and
any other Debt of Borrower to the Bank, and all costs and expenses of
collection thereof, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, Borrower
hereby assigns to Bank and grants to Bank a security interest in and Lien upon
the following:

           (a)  All of Borrower's Accounts;

           (b)  All of Borrower's General Intangibles;

           (c)  All of Borrower's Inventory;

           (d)  All of Borrower's Equipment;

           (e)  All of proceeds and products, as the case may be, of Borrower's
Accounts, General Intangibles, Equipment, and Inventory.

           (f)  All monies and other property of any kind, real, personal, or
mixed, and tangible or intangible, now or at any time or times hereafter, in the
possession or under the control of Bank or a bailee of Bank;

           (g)  All accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements,
products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (a) through (f) above, including,
without limitation, proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance
policies insuring any of the Collateral;

                                       25


           (h)  All books and records (including, without limitation, customer
lists, credit files, magnetic, digital and laser tapes and disks, electronic and
computer storage media, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer
materials and records) of Borrower pertaining to any of (a) through (g) above.

     8.2.  Sale of Inventory. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default
           -----------------
hereunder or until expiration of the Commitment Period, whichever occurs first,
Borrower may use and dispose of the Inventory in the ordinary course of business
where such is not inconsistent with this Agreement, provided that the ordinary
course of business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction
of Debt nor a transfer (other than a sale on terms and conditions which would
apply if disinterested parties were involved) to an Affiliate of Borrower.

     8.3.  Notice to Account Debtors. At any time after the occurrence of an
           -------------------------
Event of Default, but without prior notice to Borrower, except such notice as
maybe required by law, Bank shall have the right to notify the Account Debtors
obligated on any or all of the Accounts to make payment thereof directly to
Bank and to take control of all proceeds of any such Accounts. Any such
notice by the Bank to such Account Debtors shall be given by an authorized
representative of the Bank. Borrower, if requested by Bank, shall stamp or
cause to be stamped on each Account item in legible letters "Pledged to
SouthTrust Bank National Association" and shall turn over physical possession
of the Accounts to Bank. Borrower authorizes Bank to sign and endorse
Borrower's name upon any check, draft, money order, or other form of payment of
any Account item and to sign and endorse satisfactions and releases of Account
items in Borrower's name. Until such time as Bank elects to exercise the right
to collect and enforce said Accounts, Borrower is authorized, as agent of the
Bank, to collect and enforce said Accounts in Borrower's name. The costs, of
such collection and enforcement, including attorney's fees and out-of-pocket
expenses and all other expenses and liabilities resulting therefrom, shall be
borne solely by Borrower whether the same are incurred by the Bank or Borrower.
At the request of the Bank, Borrower shall upon receipt of all checks, drafts,
cash and other remittances in payment or on account of the Accounts deposit the
same in the Special Collection Account. The funds in the Special Collection
Account shall be held by the Bank as security for all obligations secured
hereby. Said proceeds shall be deposited in precisely the form received, except
for the endorsement of Borrower where necessary to permit collection of items,
which endorsement Borrower agrees to make, and which the Bank is also hereby
authorized to make on Borrower's behalf. Pending such deposit, Borrower agrees
that it will not commingle any such checks, drafts, cash and other
remittances with any of Borrower's funds or property, but will hold them
separate and apart therefrom and upon an express trust for the Bank until
deposit thereof is made in the Special Collection Account. The Bank may, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, apply the whole or any part of
the Collected Balance on deposit in the Special Collection Account against the
principal and/or interest of the Loan or other Obligation secured hereby, the
order and method of such application to be at the discretion of the Bank. Any
portion of said funds on deposit in the Special Collection Account which Bank
elects not to so apply may, at the Bank's election, be paid over by the Bank
to Borrower; provided, however, that if at any time the Bank grants to Borrower
the right to retain the proceeds of the Accounts for Borrower's use, or if at
any time Bank elects to pay funds on deposit in the Special Collection Account
to Borrower, such right to retain and use proceeds or payment from the Special
Collection Account shall be deemed to be continuing new value for the security
interest attaching hereunder on all after-acquired property.

     8.4.  Verification of Accounts. Whether or not an Event of Default has
           ------------------------
occurred, any of Bank's officers, authorized representatives, employees or
agents shall have the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of Bank
or in any trade or fictitious name selected by Bank, or in the name of any

                                       26


designee of Bank or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter
relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph, or otherwise. Borrower
shall cooperate fully with Bank in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude
any such verification process.

     8.5.  [reserved]

     8.6.  Governmental Accounts. If any of Borrower's Accounts in excess of
           ---------------------
$10,000 arise out of contracts with the United States or any department, agency,
or instrumentality thereof, Borrower will immediately notify the Bank thereof in
writing and execute any instruments and take any steps required by the Bank in
order that all monies due and to become due under such Account shall be assigned
to the Bank and notice thereof given to the Government under the Federal
Assignment of Claims Act.

     8.7.  Accounts Evidenced by Instruments. If any of Borrower's Accounts are
           ---------------------------------
or should become evidenced by promissory notes, trade acceptances, chattel
paper, chattel mortgages, conditional sales contracts, or other instruments,
Borrower will immediately deliver same to Bank, endorsed or assigned with
recourse to the Bank's order and, regardless of the form of such endorsement or
assignment, Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest and notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.

     8.8.  Lease of Records. Borrower hereby leases to the Bank and the Bank
           ----------------
hires from Borrower, for a term which shall be effective so long as the Loans or
other Obligations secured hereby are owing to the Bank by Borrower and until the
Bank has no further obligation under the Agreement, all of Borrower's present
and future books of Accounts, computer printouts, magnetic, digital and laser
tapes and disks, computer and electronic storage media, computer software
programs, trial balance records, ledgers and cabinets in which they are located,
reflected or maintained, in any way relating to the Collateral, and all present
and future supporting evidence and documents relating thereto in the form of
written applications, credit information, account cards, payment records, trial
balances, correspondence, delivery receipts, certificates and the like, as well
as the past and current information stored in computer software programs for and
on Borrower's behalf by third parties. Borrower, if requested by Bank, agrees to
legend all of the foregoing, to indicate the lease thereof to the Bank. If an
Event of Default occurs, then, in addition to all of the other rights and
remedies of the Bank herein, the Bank will have the right forthwith or at any
time thereafter to remove from Borrowers premises all of the foregoing and keep
and retain the same in Bank's possession until the Loans and other Obligations
secured hereby shall have been fully paid and discharged and the Bank has no
further obligation under the Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall not
be deemed to diminish or contravene the security interest of the Bank in the
Borrower's General Intangibles or in the property, materials, and interests
described in this Section but shall be deemed to be in addition to any rights
the Bank may have with respect to the Borrower's grant of a security in its
General Intangibles to the Bank.

     8.9.  License of Rights. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right to
           -----------------
use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of
any name, trade secrets, tradenames, trademarks and advertising matter or any
property of a similar nature as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising
for sale and in selling any Collateral, and Borrower's rights under all licenses
and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit.

     8.10. Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes,
           ----------------
constitutes and appoints Bank (and all Persons designated by Bank) as Borrower's
true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Bank, or Bank's agent, may,

cost and expense of Borrower:

           8.10.1. At such time or times hereafter as Bank or said agent, in its
sole discretion, may determine, endorse Borrower's name on any checks, notes,
acceptances, drafts, money orders or my other evidence of payment or proceeds of
the Collateral which come into the possession of Bank or under Bank's control;
and

           8.10.2. At such time or times as Bank or its agent in its sole
discretion may determine (and irrespective of whether an Event of Default
exists): (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce
payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally
exercise all of Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of
the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the
Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or collect any of the Accounts or other

Borrower with respect to any Account or Accounts, and unless otherwise indicated
in writing to Bank, that with respect to each Account:

it is not evidenced by a judgment;

           9.1.2. It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of
goods or rendition of services by Borrower in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders,
contracts or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract
between Borrower the Account Debtor;

be immaterial, and each such Account is absolutely owing to Borrower and is not
contingent in any respect or for any reason;

           9.1.5. Borrower has made no agreement with any Account Debtor
thereunder for any deduction therefrom, except discounts or allowances which are
granted by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment
and which are reflected in the calculation of the net amount of each respective
invoice related thereto;

           9.1.6. There are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way
impair the validity or enforceability thereof or tend to reduce the amount
payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered
to Bank with respect thereto;

           9.1.7. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, the Account Debtor
thereunder (i) had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other
document giving rise to the Account was executed and (ii) such Account
Debtor was and is Solvent;

           9.1.8. Borrower has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which
would impair the validity or collectibility of the Account, and to the best of

material adverse change in such Account Debtor financial condition or the
collectibility of such Account; and

           9.1.9. Borrower will have paid/or provided for the payment of all
taxes arising from the transaction creating the Account.

     9.2.  Notification. Borrower shall immediately notify Bank of any event,

Account set forth in Section 9.1 above to cease to be true in all respects,
and Borrower will promptly notify Bank (i) if any Account Debtor or any
Affiliate of any Account Debtor has or may have any right of setoff, deduction,
or defense against any Account or (ii) if any such Account Debtor or Affiliate
of such Account Debtor has or may have a contractual or business relationship
with Borrower such that at any time such right may exist or be asserted or
(iii) if Borrower ships any inventory  or goods or furnishes any services to any
Person which has or pay have any right of setoff, deduction or defense against
any asset, including any Account, of Borrower.

     9.3.  Affirmation of Representations. Each request for a loan or advance
           ------------------------------
made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
shall constitute (i) an automatic representation and warranty by Borrower to
Bank that there does not then exist any default or Event of Default and (ii) a
reaffirmation as of the date of said request that all of the representations and
warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are true in all material respects except for any changes in the nature of
Borrower's business or operations that would render the information contained in
any exhibit attached hereto either inaccurate or incomplete, so long as Bank has
consented to such changes or such changes are expressly permitted by this
Agreement.

     9.4.  Waivers. Borrower hereby releases and waives any and all actions,
           -------
claims, causes of action, demands and suits which it may ever have against the
Bank as a result of any possession, collection, settlement, compromise or sale
by Bank of any of the Accounts upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, notwithstanding the effect of such possession, collection,
settlement, compromise or sale upon the business of Borrower. Said waiver shall
include all causes of action and claims which may result from the exercise of
the power of attorney conferred upon Bank in Section 8.10. The failure at any
time or times hereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any of the
provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement or any
other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower,
and delivered to the Bank, shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of
the Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith and

in such agreements, documents or instruments, and any waiver of default shall
not waive or affect any other default, whether prior or subsequent thereto; and
whether the same are of a different type. None of the warranties, conditions,
provisions and terms contained in the Agreement or any other agreement,
document or instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and delivered

Bank, its agents, representatives, officers or employees, but only by an
instrument in writing signed by an offer of the Bank and directed to the
Borrower specifying such waiver.

     9.5.  Discharge of Taxes and Liens. At its option, the Bank may discharge
           ----------------------------

agents.

the expiration of its stated term; or any part of the Collateral shall be taken
through condemnation or the value of such properties shall be impaired through
condemnation; or

          10.1.15. Bank Insecurity. Bank shall reasonably and in good faith deem
                   ---------------
itself insecure; or

          10.1.16. Change in Control. If any of the present executive officers
                   -----------------
of Borrower should resign or be removed or if there occurs a change in majority
stock ownership of Borrower; or

          10.1.17. Subordination Agreements. If a breach or default shall occur
                   ------------------------
with respect to any subordination agreement executed by any creditor of
Borrower (including any Affiliate), or if any said agreement shall otherwise
terminate or cease to have legal effect; or

          10.1.18. Other Documents. If a default or event of default or breach
                   ---------------
occurs under any Loan Document (other than the breaches enumerated in Sections
10.1.1 through 10.1.17 above), or under or with respect to any of the
Obligations, or under any other note, evidence of indebtedness, loan agreement,
security agreement, guaranty, pledge, mortgage, assignment, or security document
executed by Borrower and delivered to the Bank.

     The Borrower agrees that default under any Loan Document shall constitute
default with respect to all Loan Documents and vice versa.

     10.2. Remedies. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of any one or more
           --------
of the foregoing Events of Default, Bank or the holder of the Notes may at its
option (i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action
at law and/or the appropriate proceeding either for specific performance of any
covenant or condition contained in the Notes or in any Loan Document, (ii)
terminate the Commitment Period and cease disbursing advances under the Notes,
and/or (iii) declare the unpaid balance of the Loans and Notes together with all
accrued interest to be forthwith due and payable, and thereupon such balance
shall become so due and payable without presentation, protest or further demand
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

     Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, and at any time thereafter, Bank shall have the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in addition to the rights and
remedies provided herein or in any other instrument or paper executed by
Borrower. The Bank may require the Borrower to assemble the Equipment and the
Inventory and to make the same available to the Bank at a place to be designated
by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a
style customarily sold on a recognized market, the Bank will give Borrower
reasonable notice of the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to the Borrower at least ten (10)
days before the time of such sale or disposition. The Borrower shall pay the
Bank on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by the Bank in protecting or enforcing the
Loans and all other Obligations secured hereby and other rights of the Bank
hereunder, including its right to take possession of the Collateral.

     The Bank shall not be liable for failure to collect the Accounts or to
enforce any contract rights or for any action or omission on the part of the
Bank, its officers, agents and employees, except willful

                                       33


misconduct. No remedy herein conferred upon, or reserved to, the Bank is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, including those of any
note or other evidence of Debt held by the Bank, and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity. Exercise or omission
to exercise any right of the Bank shall not affect any subsequent right of the
Bank to exercise the same.

     Borrower waives notice prior to Bank's taking possession or control of any
of the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court
prior to allowing Bank to exercise any of Bank's remedies, including, without
limitation, the issuance of an immediate writ of possession.

     The Borrower agrees that the Bank may apply the net proceeds received from
the Collateral among the Loans and the Obligations toward satisfaction of the
same in its sole discretion. Any such proceeds remaining after satisfaction in
full of the Loans, the Obligations, and the other obligations and liabilities of
the Borrower to the Bank shall be distributed as required by Applicable Laws.

     10.3. Right of Set-Off. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of
           ----------------
Default, Bank may, and is hereby authorized by Borrower, at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, and without
advance notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower),
set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and any other indebtedness at any time
owing by Bank to, or for the credit or the account of, Borrower against any or
all of the Loans and Obligations and other liabilities and obligations of
Borrower now or hereafter existing whether or not such obligations have matured
and irrespective of whether Bank has exercised any other rights that it has or
may have with respect to such Loans and Obligations and other liabilities and
obligations, including, without limitation, any acceleration rights. The
aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by Bank against Borrower or against
any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of the
creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower,
notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been
exercised by Bank prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon Bank
of, or of notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of
creditors; appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver; or
issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Bank agrees to notify
Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
The rights of Bank under this Section are in addition to the other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Bank may
have.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION
                                 ---------------

     11.1. Indemnification. Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
           ---------------
harmless the Bank, its directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys,
and agents (the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, demands,
judgments, damages, actions, causes of action, injuries, orders, penalties,
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs of court) of any kind
whatsoever arising out of or relating to any breach or default by Borrower or
any other Person (including any Guarantor) under this Agreement or any Loan
Document or the failure of Borrower to observe, perform or discharge Borrower's
duties hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Borrower's obligation to indemnify Bank shall include indemnity from
any and all claims, demands, judgments, damages, actions, causes of action,
injuries, orders, penalties, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection
with the activities of the Borrower, its predecessors in interest, third parties
who have trespassed on Borrower's property, or parties in a contractual
relationship with Borrower, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any
condition, accident or event caused by an act or omission of the

                                       34


Indemnitees, which: (a) arise out of the actual, alleged or threatened
discharge, dispersal, release, storage, treatment, generation, disposal, or
escape of radioactive materials, radioactivity, pollutants or other toxic or
hazardous substances, including any solid, liquid, gaseous, or thermal irritant
or contaminant, including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, chemicals,
and waste (including materials to recycled, reconditioned or reclaimed); or (b)
actually or allegedly arise out of the use, specification, or inclusion of any
product, material, or process containing chemicals or radioactive material, the
failure to detect the existence or proportion of chemicals or radioactive
material in the soil, air, surface water or groundwater, or the performance or
failure to perform the abatement of any pollution source or the replacement or
removal of any soil, water, surface water, or groundwater containing chemicals
or radioactive material; or (c) arises out of or relates to breach by Borrower
of any of the provisions of Section 5.16 hereof relating to Environmental
Regulations. In addition, Borrower will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from
and against any liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by Bank or imposed
against Bank for any stamp tax, intangible tax, or other tax, fee or charge
imposed by any governmental entity arising out of or relating to the Note(s) or
this Agreement or the transactions anticipated herein.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                        COSTS AND EXPENSES, MISCELLANEOUS
                        ---------------------------------

     12.1. Costs of Preparation. Broker Fees. Borrower shall bear all expenses
           ---------------------------------
of the Bank in connection with the Loans and with the investigation, review and
approval of this transaction, the preparation of the Agreement and the Loan
Documents, and the issuance and delivery of the Note(s) to Bank and also in
connection with any amendment or modification thereto, and the administration
thereof, including, without limitation, (i) all legal fees, expenses and
disbursements and other actual third-party expense reimbursements incurred or
sustained by Bank in connection with this transaction, (ii) all travel,
appraisal, audit, search and filing fees incurred or sustained by Bank in
connection with this transaction or the administration of the Loans; (iii) all
recording and filing fees, intangibles taxes, documentary and revenue stamps,
other taxes or other expenses and charges payable in connection with this
Agreement, the Notes or any Loan Document and (iv) all costs, expenses
(including fees and expenses of outside consultants), related to the
administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and/or periodic audits and
appraisals performed by Bank. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and save Bank
harmless against all broker's and finder's fees, if any.

     12.2. Other Costs and Expenses. If, at any time or times hereafter, whether
           ------------------------
before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank employs counsel
to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Agreement or any
Loan Document, or to collect the balance of the Loans, or to take any action in
or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, or liquidate the Collateral or to
attempt to enforce any security interest or Lien granted to the Bank by
Borrower, then in any such events, all of the reasonable attorneys' fees arising
from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall
constitute additional obligations of Borrower payable on demand of the Bank.

     12.3. Legal Counsel. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that legal counsel to
           -------------
Bank does not represent Borrower as Borrower's attorney, that Borrower has
retained (or has had an opportunity to retain) counsel of its own choice and has
not and will not rely upon any advice from Bank's counsel. In no event shall
Borrower's reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement (even if
effected by payment directly by Borrower to Bank's counsel) be deemed to
establish any attorney-client relationship between Borrower and Bank's counsel.

                                       35


     12.4. No Waiver. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder, and no waiver
           ---------
of any default or Event of Default under any other Loan Document shall extend to
or shall affect any subsequent or other then existing default or shall impair
any rights, remedies or powers of Bank. No delay or omission of Bank or any
subsequent holder of the votes to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder after the occurrence of such default or Event of Default shall be
construed as a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence therein.

     12.5. Headings. Except for the definitions set forth in Section 1, the
           --------
headings of the articles, sections, paragraphs and subdivisions of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part
hereof, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

     12.6. Marshalling of Assets; Payments Set Aside. Bank shall be under no
           -----------------------------------------
obligation to marshall any assets or securities in favor of Borrower or any
Guarantor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. To the extent that any sum credited against the Obligations is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefore, all be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     12.7. Survival of Covenants. All covenants, agreements, representations and
           ---------------------
warranties made herein and in certificates or reports delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to have been material and relied on by Bank, notwithstanding any
investigation made by or on behalf of Bank, and shall survive the execution and
delivery to Bank of any Note or Loan Document.

     12.8. Addresses. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this
           ---------
Agreement is required or provided to be given shall be deemed to have been
sufficiently given or served for all purposes by (i) being delivered in person
to the party to whom the notice or demand is directed or (ii) by being sent as
first class mail, postage prepaid, in either event to the following address: If
to Borrower, 4350 Peachtree Industrial Avenue, Suite 100, Norcross, Georgia
30071; or if any other address shall at any time be designated by Borrower in
writing to the holders of record of the Note at the time of such designation to
such other address; and if to Bank, SouthTrust Bank, N.A., 11180 Alpharetta
Highway; Roswell, Georgia 30076, Attention: Mark T. Johnson; or if any other
address shall at any time be designated in writing to Borrower, to such other
address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice shall be effective as to Bank
until actually received by Bank. Any written notice that is not sent in
conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the
date that such notice is actually received by the noticed party.

     12.9. Venue and Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that any legal action brought
           ----------------------
by the Bank to collect the Loans or any Obligation or to assert any claim
against Borrower under any Loan Document or any part thereof, may be brought in
any court in the State of Georgia having subject matter jurisdiction, waives its
right to object to any such action on grounds it is brought in the improper
venue, and irrevocably consents that any legal action or proceeding against it
under, arising out of, or in any manner relating to the Loans, the Obligations,
or any Loan Document may be brought in the Superior Court of Fulton County,
Georgia or in any other court of jurisdiction in Fulton County, Georgia or in
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Borrower, by the
execution of this Agreement, expressly and irrevocably assents and submits to
the personal jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding.
Borrower consents to the service of process relating to any such action or
proceeding, by mail to the address set forth in this Agreement.

                                       36


     12.10. Continuing Obligation; Benefits. This Agreement, and each and every
            -------------------------------
provision hereof, is a continuing obligation and shall (i) be binding upon the
Borrower and the Bank, their successors and assigns, and (ii) inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower and Bank and their successors and
assigns; provided, that the Borrower may not assign all or any part of this
         --------
Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent may be
granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Bank.

     12.11. Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
            ---------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia; provided, however, that if
any of the Collateral shall be located in any jurisdiction other than Georgia;
the laws of such jurisdiction shall govern the method, manner and procedure for
foreclosure of Bank's lien upon such Collateral and the enforcement of Bank's
other remedies in respect such Collateral to the extent that the laws of such
jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent with the laws of Georgia.

     12.12 Standard of Review. Any document, writing or instrument required or
           ------------------
permitted to be delivered to Bank under this Agreement shall be deemed
satisfactory only if approved by Bank in the exercise of its sole discretion,
and any act or approval permitted to be done by Bank under this Agreement shall
be in Bank's sole discretion. Where in this Agreement reference is made to
Bank's discretion", or "sole-discretion", said reference shall mean that with
respect to the matter so designated, Bank shall have the absolute right to make
decision with respect to the matter so designated shall not be subject to any
standard of good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness, or any other standard
implied by any court or imposed by law, it being the intention of the parties
that the decision of the Bank with respect to said matter shall be absolutely
final and binding.

     12.13. Participation. Borrower acknowledges that Bank may, at its option,
            -------------
sell participation interests in the Loans to participating banks. The amounts of
any such participations shall be determined solely by the Bank. Borrower agrees
with each present and future participant in the Loans, the names and addresses
of which will be furnished to Borrower, that if an Event of Default should
occur, each present and future participant shall have all of the rights and
remedies of Bank with respect to any deposit due from any participant to
Borrower. The execution by a participant of a participation agreement with Bank,
and the execution by Borrower of this Agreement, regardless of the order of
execution, shall evidence an agreement between Borrower and said participant in
accordance with the terms of this Section.

     12.14. Miscellaneous. This Initial Loan Documents, the Additional Note,
            -------------
this Agreement and the agreements and instruments executed in connection with
this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Bank in
regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be varied, altered,
or amended except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of
the Bank. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any provision in this
Agreement which may be unenforceable or invalid under any law shall be
ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity without
affecting the enforceability or validity of any other provisions hereof.

     12.15. General Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
            ---------------
Borrower waives (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment,
protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights,
documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Bank on
which Borrower may in any way be liable; (ii) notice prior to Banks taking
possession or control of any of the Collateral or any bond or security which
might be required by any court prior to allowing Bank to exercise any of Bank's
remedies, including the issuance of an immediate writ of possession; (iii) the
benefit of all

                                       37


valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (iv) any right Borrower may have
upon payment in full of the Obligations to require Bank to terminate its
security interest in the Collateral until the execution by Borrower of an
agreement indemnifying Bank from any loss or damage Bank may incur as the result
of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Bank from Borrower or
any Account Debtor and applied to the Obligations; and (v) notice of Bank's
acceptance hereof or of any Loan Document.

     12.16. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in this
            ----------------
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in no event shall the aggregate of all
amounts that are contracted for, charged or collected pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, and that are deemed
interest under Applicable Law, exceed the Maximum Rate. No provision of this
Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents or the exercise by Bank of any right
hereunder or under any Loan Document or the prepayment by Borrower of any of the
Obligations or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Bank
to charge or receive, or to require Borrower to pay, interest or any amounts
deemed interest by Applicable Law (such amounts being referred to herein
collectively as "Interest") in excess of the Maximum Rate, and all provisions
hereof or in any Loan Document which may purport to require Borrower to pay
Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect to
the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. Any Interest
charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate ("Excess"), shall be
conclusively presumed to be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and
shall, to the extent received by Bank, at the option of Bank, either be applied
to reduce the principal amount of the Obligations or returned to Borrower. The
right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the
right to accelerate unaccrued interest, and no such interest will be collected
by Bank. All monies paid to Bank hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents
shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent
required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, Borrower
covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the
acceptance by Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) Borrower shall not seek or
pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Bank, based in whole or in
part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been
contracted for, charged or received by Bank, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Borrower in connection with this Agreement shall,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrower and
Bank shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than
as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The
provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Note and
each Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to
therein).

     12.17. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. As and to the extent allowed by
            --------------------------------
applicable law, Borrower and Bank hereby waive any right to trial by jury on any
claim, counterclaim, setoff, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising out
of or in any way pertaining or relating to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loan
Documents, or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered
in connection with this agreement or (b) in any way connected with or pertaining
or related to or incidental to any dealings of the parties hereto with respect
to this agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents, or any other instrument,
document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith or in
connection with the transactions related thereto or contemplated thereby or the
exercise of either party's rights and remedies thereunder, in all of the
foregoing cases whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding
in contract, tort or otherwise. Borrower and Bank agree that either or both of
them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the
knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to
waive trial by jury, and that any dispute or

                                       38

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Borrower and the Bank has caused this
instrument to be executed under seal by its duly authorized officer as of the
