               2.1.1 LINE OF CREDIT. On the Closing Date, subject to fulfillment
of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 16, Lender agrees to open the
Line of Credit in favor of Borrower so that, during the period from the Closing
Date to, but not including, the Termination Date, so long as there is not in
existence any Default Condition or Event of Default and the requested Borrowing,
if made, will not cause a Default Condition or Event of Default to exist,
Borrower may borrow and repay and reborrow Advances in up to a maximum aggregate
principal amount outstanding at any one time equal to the original principal
amount of the Line of Credit; subject, however, to the requirement that at no
time shall the aggregate principal amount of (i) outstanding Advances under the
Line of Credit, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Obligations, exceed the Commitment or, during any Margining Period, the lesser
of (A) the Commitment or (B) the Margin (such requirement being referred to
herein as the "Margin Requirement"), and subject, further, to the requirement
that if, at any time during any Margining Period, the Margin Requirement is not
satisfied, Borrower will immediately repay the then principal balance of the
Master Note by that amount necessary to satisfy the Margin Requirement. All
proceeds so obtained under the Line of Credit may be used by Borrower for
working capital in such manner as Borrower may elect in the ordinary course of
its business operations. The Debts arising from Advances made to or on behalf of
Borrower under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by the Master Note, which
shall be executed by Borrower and delivered


                                     - 9 -


<PAGE>   15

 

to Lender on the Closing Date. The outstanding principal amount of the Master
Note may fluctuate from time to time, but shall be due and payable in full on
the Termination Date, and shall bear interest from the date of each disbursement
of principal until paid in full at the Applicable Rate, payable in the manner
described in Section 2.2.1. Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.2.1
in respect of LIBOR Borrowings, Borrower shall have the option to request
Advances under the Line of Credit by telephone pursuant to the Telephone
Instructions Letter or in a writing delivered to Lender not later than 11:00
a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date of the requested Advance; provided,
however, that any telephone requests shall be made in accordance with the
Telephone Instructions Letter and, unless otherwise approved by Lender,
confirmed in writing not later than the Business Day following the disbursement
of the requested Advance.

                  2.1.2 LETTERS OF CREDIT. In addition to the foregoing, so long
as the Line of Credit remains open, Borrower shall have the further right to
apply for, and obtain commercial or standby letters of credit ("Letters of
Credit") to be issued by Lender for Borrower for use by Borrower in the ordinary
course of its business operations pursuant to a separate application and
agreement (one per each Letter of Credit) to be executed at time of issuance
between Lender and Borrower, which shall set forth, among other things, the
purpose, beneficiary, the expiry date and credit limit, together with the fees
and charges imposed by Lender for the issuance and administration thereof. All
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reserved by Lender against
borrowing availability under the Line of Credit and be included as outstanding
Debt for purposes of determining the Margin Requirement. Lender shall have the
continuing right to charge as Advances any outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations, and any fees and charges associated therewith, which have become
due and payable. Lender shall have the further right from time to time to impose
sublimits on the aggregate amounts of Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit
Obligations which at any one time may be outstanding.

           2.2 INTEREST AND OTHER FEES AND CHARGES.

                  2.2.1 INTEREST AT APPLICABLE RATE. Lender and Borrower agree 
that the interest rate payable on the Borrowings (herein called the "Applicable
Rate") shall be determined as follows:

                  (a) LINE OF CREDIT. Outstanding Advances under the Line of 
Credit shall bear interest at the LIBOR Index Rate plus two percent (2%) per
annum; subject, however, to subsequent adjustment as provided in subsection (b)
below.

                  (b) SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENTS. The Applicable Rate described in 
subsection (a) above shall be subject to subsequent adjustment, up or down,
based on Borrower's financial performance, determined by reference to THE
Leverage Ratio, measured monthly; that is, if the Leverage Ratio, measured as of
the end of each Fiscal Month of Borrower, commencing with the Fiscal Month
ending closest to, but occurring after, the Closing Date, is as described below,
the Applicable Rate shall be the interest rate appearing opposite said Leverage
Ratio:

                              -
</TABLE>                      

Lender shall determine whether any adjustment to the Applicable Rate is to be
made monthly, based on Borrower's financial statements as of and for each Fiscal
Month end delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 10.6, provided, however, that
if such financial statements are not timely delivered to Lender, then an
adjustment to the Applicable Rate shall be made based on an assumed delivery of
said financial statements reflecting a Leverage Ratio of greater than 2.00:1;
and, provided, further, that no downward adjustment shall be made if an Event of
Default or Default Condition then exists. Each such adjustment to the Applicable
Rate shall become effective as of the first day of the calendar month following
the date on which such financial statements are delivered (or deemed delivered)
to Lender, and shall remain effective unless and until any subsequent adjustment
becomes effective in accordance with 


                                     - 10 -


<PAGE>   16



the terms of this subsection (b). Each such adjustment shall apply to all LIBOR
Borrowings then existing and any made during the period for which such
adjustment becomes effective. In the event that the annual audit report of
Borrower for any Fiscal Year shall require restatement of financial statements
of Borrower and such restatement shall affect the Leverage Ratio and would have
required a different Applicable Rate to be in effect for prior periods, then
Lender at its option, may require Borrower to make additional payments of
interest or rebate interest for such prior periods.

                  (c) SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON LIBOR BORROWINGS. If
at any time, a change of law, or compliance by Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority
shall make it unlawful or impracticable for Lender to make available, maintain
or fund any LIBOR Borrowings, Lender shall forthwith give notice to such effect
to Borrower, whereupon, until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of Lender to make
such borrowings available to Borrower shall be suspended and if Lender shall
determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any then
outstanding borrowings to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each
Borrowing so affected shall be converted into a Prime Borrowing, effective
immediately, and any subsequent Borrowings shall be made, instead, as Prime
Borrowings.

                  (d) PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Accrued interest on any Borrowings at
the Applicable Rate shall be due and payable monthly in arrears, on the first
day of each calendar month, for the preceding calendar month (or portion
thereof), commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the
Closing Date, and at maturity.

                  (e) CALCULATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest on Borrowings
and any fees described in Section 2.2.2 computed on a per annum basis shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. The
Applicable Rate on any Prime Borrowings shall change with each change in the
Prime Rate, effective as of the opening of business on the Business Day of such
change. The Applicable Rate on LIBOR Borrowings shall change with each monthly
adjustment of the LIBOR Index Rate, effective on the first day of each calendar
month.

                  (f) CHARGING OF INTEREST AND FEES. Accrued and unpaid interest
on any Borrowings (and any outstanding fees described in Section 2.2.2) may,
when due and payable, be paid, at Lender's option (without any obligation to do
so), either (i) by Lender's charging the Line of Credit for an Advance in the
amount thereof; or (ii) by Lender's debiting any deposit account constituting
Balances Collateral for the amount thereof; but, notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall be and remain responsible for the payment of such sums.

                  (g) RATE ON OTHER OBLIGATIONS. To the extent that, at any
time, there are other Obligations besides Advances which are outstanding and
unpaid, such Obligations shall, unless and except to the extent that this
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document evidencing such Obligations
provides otherwise, bear interest at the same rate per annum as is then and
thereafter payable on Prime Borrowings under the Line of Credit.

                  2.2.2 FEES. In addition to the payment of interest at the
Applicable Rate, Borrower shall, also be obligated to pay Lender the following
fees and charges:

                  (a) LOAN ORIGINATION FEE. On the Closing Date, a fully earned,
non-refundable loan origination fee of Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($37,500); provided, however, that a portion thereof, equal to $12,500,
shall be rebated by Lender to Borrower on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
Closing Date unless, within such thirty (30) days' period, Lender has released
the H-P Reserve.

                  (b) NON-USAGE FEE. Quarterly, on the first day of each
calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates following the Closing
Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee equal to (x) One-fourth of one percent
(1/4%) per annum, times (y) the difference between (A) the Commitment, and (B)
the sum, without duplication, of the following, determined on a daily average
basis for the immediately preceding calendar quarter 


                               - 11 -


<PAGE>   17


(or portion thereof, as the case may be): (i) all Advances under the Line of
Credit plus (ii) all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

                  (c) AUDIT FEES. For Collateral audits performed by Lender
pursuant to Section 10.3, Lender's standard audit fee for each audit performed
by Lender (or its designee), which, as of the Closing Date, equals One Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) plus expenses; provided, however, that (i)
Borrower shall not have to pay for more than one (1) such audit in any Fiscal
Year so long as Borrower is not in a Margining Period and (ii) Borrower shall
not have to pay for more than four (4) such audits in any one Fiscal Year so
long as no Event of Default exists.

                  2.2.3 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If, after the Closing Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, affects or might affect
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any
corporation in control of Lender and Lender determines that the amount of such
capital is increased by or based upon Lender's obligations hereunder, then from
time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by Lender, which demand shall
include the change which has occurred and an explanation of such other request,
direction or requirement that is necessitating such change, Borrower shall pay
to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender in light
of such circumstances, to the extent that Lender reasonably determines such
increase in capital is allocable to Lender's obligations hereunder, and such
payment, as and when received, shall be applied by Lender in reimbursement of
Lender's increased costs in regard to such obligations.

                  2.2.4 USURY SAVINGS PROVISIONS. Lender and Borrower hereby
further agree that the only charge imposed by Lender upon Borrower for the use
of money in connection herewith is and shall be interest at the Applicable Rate,
and that all other charges imposed by Lender upon Borrower in connection
herewith, are and shall be deemed to be charges made to compensate Lender for
underwriting and administrative services and costs, and other services and costs
performed and incurred, and to be performed and incurred, by Lender in
connection with making credit available to Borrower hereunder, and shall under
no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. In no contingency
or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder
or under the Notes and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or pursuant to the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any
law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Lender
has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable
rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law and Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower
any interest received by Lender in excess of the maximum lawful rate or, if so
requested by Borrower, shall apply such excess to the principal balance of the
Obligations. It is the intent hereof that Borrower not pay or contract to pay,
and that Lender not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in
any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrower
under applicable law.

                  2.3 GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO PAYMENTS.

                         2.3.1 METHOD OF PAYMENT. All payments of interest, fees
and principal pursuant to this Agreement must be received by Lender no later
than 2:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date when due, in federal or other
funds immediately available to Lender in Atlanta, Georgia.

                         2.3.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENT. Except as otherwise 
expressly set forth herein, all payments received by Lender hereunder shall be
applied, in accordance with the then current billing statement applicable to the
Borrowing, first to accrued interest, then to fees, then to principal due and
then to late charges. Any remaining funds shall be applied to the further
reduction of principal. In the event more than one Borrowing shall be
outstanding hereunder, and no designation is made by Borrower, Lender, in its
discretion, may determine to which Borrowing(s) each payment shall be applied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a 

                                     - 12 -


<PAGE>   18


Default Condition or Event of Default, payments shall be applied to the
Obligations in such order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.

                  2.3.3 PREPAYMENT. Obligors may prepay any Obligations, in
whole or in part, at any time by paying the principal amount to be prepaid
together with accrued interest thereon to date of prepayment, but without any
premium or penalty.

           2.4 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY.

                  2.4.1 THE GUARANTY. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally guarantee to Lender and its successors and assigns the prompt
payment in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise of all Obligations of Borrower to Lender (such Obligations herein
called, collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"), in each case strictly in
accordance with the terms thereof. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further
jointly and severally agree that if Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same, on demand,
and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due
(whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with
the terms of such extension or renewal.

                  2.4.2 OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. The obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional, joint and
several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or
any other Loan Document or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under and all circumstances.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:

           (i)   at any time or from time to time, without notice to any of the
      Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with
      any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance
      or compliance shall be waived;

           (ii)  any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this
      Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to
      herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

           (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
      accelerated, or any of the, Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified,
      supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement
      or the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be waived or any other
      guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor
      shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt
      with; or

           (iv)  any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, 
      Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be
      perfected.

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand
of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Borrower under this
Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document, or against any other Person
under any other Guaranty of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

                  2.4.3 REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that
for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder
of any of the 

                                     - 13 -



<PAGE>   19


Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or otherwise and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally
agree that they will indemnify Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, fees of counsel) incurred by Lender in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

                  2.4.4 SUBROGATION. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all
rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation
of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under the
Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the
provisions hereof until all Guaranteed Obligations are fully paid and satisfied,
and further agrees with the Borrower for the benefit of each of its creditors
(including, without limitation, Lender) that any such payment by it shall
constitute a contribution of capital by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the
Borrower (or an investment in the equity capital of the Borrower by such
Subsidiary Guarantor).

                  2.4.5 REMEDIES. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and
severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and Lender, the
Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as
provided herein (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable in the circumstances provided herein) for purposes hereof,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (whether or not due
and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes hereof.

                  2.4.6 CONTINUING GUARANTY. The Guaranty set forth herein is a
continuing Guaranty, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations, whenever and
howsoever arising.

                  2.4.7 RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an
"Excess Funding Guarantor" (as defined below) by reason of the payment by
Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Subsidiary
Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the
next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such
Subsidiary Guarantor's "Pro Rata Share" (as defined below and determined, for
this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such
Excess Funding Guarantor) of the "Excess Payment" (as defined below) in respect
of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor
to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of
such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 2.4 and
such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with
respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all such
obligations. For purposes hereof, (i) "Excess Funding Guarantor" means, in
respect of any guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an
amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii)
"Excess Payment" means, in respect of any guaranteed Obligations, the amount
paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such
Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) "Pro Rata Share" means, for any Subsidiary
Guarantor, the ratio (express as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair saleable value of all Properties of such Subsidiary
Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Subsidiary Guarantor)
exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any
obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such
Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable
value of all Properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount
of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured
and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder) of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect
to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of
the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of
the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

                  2.4.8 GENERAL LIMITATION ON GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. In any
action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state of Federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law 


                                     - 14 -



<PAGE>   20


affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder would otherwise, be held or determined to be
void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account of the amount of its liability hereunder, then,
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by any Subsidiary Guarantor, Lender
or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount
that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other
creditors a determined in such action or proceeding.

by it from time to time, each Obligor hereby grants to Lender a continuing,
general Lien upon and security interest and security title in and to the
following described property, or interests in property, of such Obligor,
wherever located, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising (herein
collectively called the "Collateral"), namely: (a) all of its Accounts
Receivable Collateral; (b) all of its Inventory Collateral; (c) all of its
Equipment Collateral; (d) all of its Intangibles Collateral; (e) all of its
Balances Collateral; and (f) all products and/or proceeds of any and all of the

services for, an Account Debtor.

                  4.2 GOOD TITLE. It has good title to its Accounts Receivable
Collateral free and clear of all Liens other than any Permitted Encumbrances,

                  4.4 COLLATERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT. If requested by Lender to do
so on or at any time during a Margining Period, it shall establish as soon as
practicable but in any event within sixty (60) days thereafter and thereafter
maintain for the balance of such Margining Period with Lender, either
individually or in combination with one or more other Obligors, a Collateral
Reserve Account into which it shall transfer and deliver all cash, checks,
drafts, items and other instruments for the payment of money which it now has or
may at any time hereafter receive in full or partial payment for its Inventory
Collateral or otherwise as proceeds of its Accounts Receivable Collateral and,
pending such transfer and delivery, it shall be deemed to hold same in trust for
the benefit of Lender. Such Obligor shall not be entitled to withdraw funds on
deposit in such Collateral Reserve Account after its inception without the prior
written consent of Lender; provided, however, that, at any time during which
collected funds exist on deposit in such Collateral Reserve Account, Lender may
withdraw such deposits, or any portion thereof, therefrom, for application
against the Obligations in such manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may
determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, so long as no Event of
Default exists, Lender agrees to settle with each Obligor as to any funds which
may exist in its Collateral Reserve Account opened by it, after the foregoing
application, on a daily basis, on each Business Day.

                  4.5 TRADE STYLES. Except as may be set forth on the Obligor
Information Schedule attached hereto, it uses no trade names or trade styles in
its business operations (herein, "Trade Styles"), and it covenants with Lender
not to use any Trade Styles in its business operations hereafter, except as so
specified on the Obligor Information Schedule prior to having given Lender at

that, now or hereafter, it uses any Trade Styles, it hereby certifies and agrees
with Lender that: (i) all of the accounts receivable and proceeds thereof
arising out of sales under the Trade Styles shall be the property of, and belong
to, it; (ii) each of the Trade Styles is a trade name and trade style (and not

it may conduct a portion of its business; (iii) all accounts receivable,
proceeds thereof, and returned merchandise which arise from the sale of products
invoiced under the names of any of the Trade Styles shall be owned solely by it
and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as they relate to its
Accounts Receivable Collateral; and (iv) each Obligor hereby appoints Lender as
its attorney-in-fact to file such certificates disclosing its use of the Trade
Styles and to take such other actions on its behalf as are necessary to comply
with the statutes of any states relating to the use of fictitious or assumed
business names, to the extent that it fails to do so.

                  4.6 LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY. It irrevocably designates and
appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to endorse for
collection any checks, drafts, notes or other instruments received in payment of
or on account of any of its Collateral hereafter coming into Lender's possession

or in any way be responsible for the collection of any such Collateral.

     14. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or

claims against any Obligor for damages for failure by any Obligor to fulfill any
of its obligations hereunder, subject only to prior receipt by Lender of payment
in full of all Obligations then outstanding in a form acceptable to Lender,
Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth below, and it may
exercise any one, more, or all of such remedies, in its sole discretion, without
thereby waiving any of the others; provided, however, that, in addition to the
foregoing, if the Event of Default is in respect of Section 13.6 or 13.7, then,
automatically, immediately upon such Event of Default occurring, without
necessity of any further action on Lender's part, all commitments of Lender
hereunder and under all other Loan Documents shall terminate, and all
Obligations shall be immediately due and payable.

                  14.1 ACCELERATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS. Lender, at its option,
may terminate all commitments of Lender hereunder and under all other Loan
Documents, and declare all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable,
whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or any other notice required by law
relative thereto, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Obligor,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. If any promissory
note of any Obligor to Lender constituting Obligations, including, without
limitation, any of the Notes, shall be a demand instrument, however, the
recitation of the right of Lender to declare any and all Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, whether such recitation is contained in such note
or in this Agreement, as well as the recitation of the above events permitting
Lender to declare all Obligations due and payable, shall not constitute an
election by Lender to waive its right to demand payment under a demand at any
time and in any event; as Lender in its discretion may deem appropriate.
Hereafter, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be obligated to, accept
less than the entire amount of Obligations due, if tendered, provided, however,
that unless then agreed to in writing by Lender, no such acceptance shall or
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or a
reinstatement of any commitments of Lender hereunder or under all other Loan
Documents.

                  14.2 DEFAULT. If Lender so elects, by further written notice
to Borrower, Lender may increase the rate of interest charged on the Notes then
outstanding for so long thereafter as Lender further shall elect by an amount
not to exceed the Default Rate.

                  14.3 REMEDIES OF A SECURED PARTY. Lender shall thereupon have
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC in effect on the date
thereof (regardless whether the same has been enacted in the jurisdiction where
the rights or remedies are asserted), including, without limitation, the right
to take possession of any of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof, to sell or
otherwise dispose of the same, to apply the proceeds therefrom to any of the
Obligations in such order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. Lender
shall give Borrower in behalf of all Obligors, written notice of the time and
place of any public sale of the Collateral or the time after which any other
intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of sending
reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower at least ten
(10) days before such disposition. Expenses of retaking, 


                                     - 26 -

holding, insuring, preserving, protecting, preparing for sale or selling or the
like with respect to the Collateral shall include, in any event, reasonable
attorneys' fees and other legally recoverable collection expenses, all of which
shall constitute Obligations.

                  14.4 REPOSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL. Lender may take the
Collateral or any portion thereof into its possession, by such means (without
breach of the peace) and through agents or otherwise as it may elect (and, in
connection therewith, demand that Borrower assemble the Collateral at a place or
places and in such manner as Lender shall prescribe), and sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof in its then condition
or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, which
disposition may be by public or private proceedings, by one or more contracts,
as a unit or in parcels, at any time and place and on any terms, so long as the
same are commercially reasonable and each Obligor hereby waives all rights which
it has or may have under and by virtue of OCGA Ch. 44-14, including, without
limitation, the right of each Obligor to notice and to a judicial hearing prior
to seizure of any of its Collateral by Lender.

                  14.5 DIRECT NOTIFICATION. Lender may, additionally, in its
sole discretion, at any time that an Event of Default exists, direct Account
Debtors to make payments on the Accounts Receivable Collateral, or portions
thereof, of any Obligor directly to Lender, and the Account Debtors are hereby
authorized and directed to do so by such Obligor upon Lender's direction, and
the funds so received shall be also deposited in the Collateral Reserve Account
if then opened, or, at the election of Lender, upon its receipt thereof, be
applied directly to repayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender, in its
sole discretion, shall determine.

                  14.6 OTHER REMEDIES. Unless and except to the extent expressly
provided for to the contrary herein, the rights of Lender specified herein shall
be in addition to, and not in limitation of, Lender's rights under the UCC, as
amended from time to time, or any other statute or rule of law or equity, or
under any other provision of any of the Loan Documents, or under the provisions
of any other document, instrument or other writing executed by Borrower or any
third party in favor of Lender, all of which may be exercised successively or
concurrently.

                  14.7 SET OFF. Lender may set off any or all of the Balances
Collateral against the Obligations.

     15. MISCELLANEOUS.

Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith or allowed it by law or in equity, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
No waiver by Lender of any Default Condition or Event of Default shall
constitute a waiver of any subsequent Default Condition or Event of Default.

                  15.2 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND
THEREUNDER, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

                  15.3 SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties and covenants

full force and effect notwithstanding the payment of one or more of the Notes or
the termination of the Line of Credit, until all of the Obligations have been
paid in full and Lender has terminated this Agreement in writing.

                  15.4 ASSIGNMENTS. No assignment hereof or of any Loan Document
shall be made by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender
may assign, or sell participations in, its right, title and interest herein and

                                   MASTER NOTE

     1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the
order of WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender"), at the principal office
of Lender in Atlanta, Georgia, or at such other place as Lender hereafter may
direct in writing, in legal tender of the United States of America, the
principal sum of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), or so
much thereof as may be disbursed and remain outstanding from time to time
hereafter under that certain "Line of Credit" opened by Lender in favor of
Borrower pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement,
dated as of July 2, 1998, among Borrower, its Subsidiary Guarantors as so
identified therein, and Lender (hereinafter, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, called the "Loan Agreement"; all capitalized
terms used herein, but not expressly defined herein, shall have the meanings
given to such terms in the Loan Agreement), the terms and provisions of which
are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, on the
Termination Date, with interest thereon (computed on the daily outstanding
principal balance, for the actual number of days outstanding, on the basis of a
360 day year) on each advance made hereunder from date of advance until paid in
full at a rate per annum, equal to the Applicable Rate. Unless and except to the
extent otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, accrued interest on
the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding shall be due
and payable monthly, commencing on the first day of the calendar month
succeeding the date hereof and continuing on the same day of each succeeding
calendar month thereafter and on demand for payment in full of the principal
balance hereof.

     2. Borrower agrees, in the event that this Master Note or any portion
hereof is collected by law or through an attorney at law, to pay all costs of
collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

     3. This Note evidences borrowing under, is subject to and secured by, and
shall be paid and enforced in accordance with, the terms of the Loan Agreement,
and is the "Master Note" defined in Section 1.1 thereof.

     4. Nothing herein shall limit any right granted to Lender by any other
instrument or by law or equity.

     5. Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
presentment, demand, protest and nonpayment and any other notice required by law
relative hereto, except to the extent as otherwise may be provided for in the
Loan Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed and sealed
as of July 2, 1998.
