the Company in accordance with Georgia Law. Unless this Agreement has been
terminated pursuant to Article VII, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions set forth in Article VI, the consummation of the Merger (the

three business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in
Article VI, at the offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, 1585 Broadway, New York, New

     SECTION 2.02 Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the parties
hereto shall file articles of merger (the "Articles of Merger") with the
Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, in such form as required by, and
executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, Georgia Law. The Merger
shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed
with such Secretary of State, or at such other time as TCM and the Company shall
agree and specify in the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes
effective being the "Effective Time").

     SECTION 2.03 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the
Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the

     (a) Cancellation of Shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred

("Company Common Stock") held by the Company as treasury stock (or by any
subsidiary of the Company) and each share of Company Preferred Stock held by the
Company as treasury stock (or by any subsidiary of the Company) immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and
cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered therefor or
in respect thereof.

     (b) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share of the Surviving Corporation ("Surviving Corporation
Common Stock"), with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so
converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing

          (v) each share of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding immediately

                                       11

<PAGE>

     As of the Effective Time, all such shares shall no longer be outstanding
and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder
of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any
such shares (a "Certificate") shall cease to have any rights with respect
thereto, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration with
respect thereto and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of TCM Capital Stock
upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.07, without
interest. The right of any Company Stockholder to receive its portion of the
Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.06(c) shall be subject to
and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable
tax law.

     (d) Stock Options. All options to purchase Company Common Stock granted
pursuant to the Company's 1994 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1994
Plan"), or the Company's Non-Employee Directors' 1994 Stock Option Plan (the
"1994 Directors' Plan") (collectively, the "Company Option Plans") or pursuant
to any other arrangement adopted by the Company Board to provide options or
other rights to purchase Company Common Stock to directors, officers, employees
or consultants of the Company (in any such case, an "Option") then outstanding
(whether vested or unvested) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.06.

     (e) Accrued and Unpaid Dividends. Pursuant to this Agreement, (i) at the
Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay each Series E Preferred
stockholder (other than a Series E Affiliated Stockholder) an amount equal to
the accrued and unpaid dividends due to each such stockholder, (ii) all accrued
and unpaid dividends (through July 1, 2005) on each outstanding share of Series
D Preferred and Series E Preferred held by a Series E Affiliated Stockholder
shall be converted at the Effective Time into the number of shares of TCM Series
A Preferred Stock determined by dividing the accrued and unpaid dividends due on
such shares by 1,000; provided that no fractional shares of TCM Series A
Preferred Stock shall be issued upon conversion and, upon such conversion, the
actual number of shares of TCM Series A Preferred Stock ultimately issued to any
holder shall have been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and
(iii) all accrued and unpaid dividends (through July 1, 2005) on the outstanding
Series F Preferred shall be converted at the Effective Time into the number of
shares of TCM Common Stock determined by multiplying 0.0289 by the product of
the Series F Dividend Amount divided by $0.66; provided that no fractional
shares of TCM Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion and, upon such
conversion, the actual number of shares of TCM Common Stock ultimately issued to
any holder shall have been rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

     (f) Cash Advance. Pursuant to this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the
Cash Advance shall be converted into 6,050 shares of TCM Series B Preferred
Stock.

     SECTION 2.07 Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging
outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock for the applicable Merger
Consideration pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

     (a) Exchange Agent. At or promptly following the Effective Time, TCM shall
deposit with Mellon Investor Services, LLC (the "Exchange Agent"), for the
benefit of the Company Stockholders, for exchange in accordance with this
Section 2.07, through the Exchange Agent, (i)


                                       12

<PAGE>

the certificates representing shares of TCM Common Stock issuable pursuant to
Section 2.06(c)(i) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock,
(ii) the certificates representing shares of TCM Series A Preferred Stock
issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii), Section 2.06(c)(iii) and 2.06(e)(ii),
(iii) the cash payable pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(iv), (iv) the TCM Common
Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(v) and Section 2.06(e)(iii), and (v)
the TCM Series B Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(f).

     (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time and in any event no later than five (5) business days thereafter,
the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective
Time) of a Certificate whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.06(c)
into the applicable Merger Consideration (plus cash in lieu of fractional
shares, if any, of TCM Common Stock as provided in Section 2.07(e)) (i) a letter
of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificates held by such person shall pass, only upon
delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and
have such other provisions as TCM may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions
for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable
Merger Consideration (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, of TCM
Common Stock as provided in Section 2.07(e)). Upon surrender of a Certificate
for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may
be appointed by TCM, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed
and validly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by
the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive
in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration plus cash in lieu of
fractional shares, if any, pursuant to Section 2.07(e), and the Certificate so
surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of
ownership of Company Capital Stock that is not registered in the transfer
records of the Company, the applicable Merger Consideration issued (and if
applicable, paid) in exchange therefor plus cash in lieu of fractional shares,
if any, pursuant to Section 2.07(e) may be issued and paid to a person other
than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if
such Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all
documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any
applicable stock transfer taxes with respect to such transfer have been paid.
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.07(b), each Certificate
shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right
to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration plus cash in
lieu of fractional shares, if any, pursuant to Section 2.07(e).

     (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares
of TCM Capital Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid
to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of TCM
Capital Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate
surrenders such Certificate. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of
any such Certificate, there shall be issued and paid to the record holder of the
Certificate, (i) the applicable Merger Consideration, (ii) the amount of any
cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of TCM Common Stock to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.07(e), without interest and (iii) the
amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time payable with respect to such whole shares of TCM Capital Stock,
without interest.


                                       13

<PAGE>

     (d) No Registration of Transfers. From and after the Effective Time there
shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the
Surviving Corporation of any Company Capital Stock that was outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent
for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this
Article II.

     (e) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional
shares of TCM Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner
thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of TCM. Fractional
shares of TCM Common Stock will be aggregated and sold in the market by the
Exchange Agent at the then prevailing prices. The aggregated net cash proceeds
of those sales will be distributed ratably to each holder of shares of Company
Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been
entitled to receive a fraction of a share of TCM Common Stock (after taking into
account all Certificates delivered by such holder). No interest will be payable
upon any such cash payment. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash
consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of TCM Common Stock was not
separately bargained for consideration but merely represents a mechanical
rounding off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting problems
that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of TCM
Common Stock.

     (f) Return of Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 2.07(g), any portion
of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the Company
Stockholders for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to TCM,
upon demand, and any Company Stockholder who has not exchanged such Company
Stockholder's shares of Company Capital Stock for such Company Stockholder's
portion of the applicable Merger Consideration shall thereafter look only to
TCM, as an unsecured creditor for payment of its claim for the applicable Merger
Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or
distributions with respect thereto.

     (g) No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of TCM,
Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall
be liable to any Person for any portion of the Merger Consideration payable at
Closing (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) required to be
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar law.

     (h) Withholding Rights. Each of TCM, the Surviving Corporation and the
Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger
Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under
the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign tax law. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for
all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company
Capital Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

     (i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of
that fact by the holder thereof, such portion of the


                                       14

<PAGE>

applicable Merger Consideration; provided, however, that the Surviving
Corporation may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the
issuance and delivery thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct
as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving
Corporation with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.

     SECTION 2.08 Dissenters' Rights. Notwithstanding Section 2.06(c), if any
Dissenting Stockholder that is entitled to dissenters' rights demands to be paid
the "fair value" of such holder's shares of Company Capital Stock (as provided
in Section 14-2-1323 of Georgia Law) and complies with all conditions and
obligations necessary to perfect dissenters' rights in accordance with Article
13 of Georgia Law, such shares of Company Capital Stock shall not be converted
into the right to receive the Merger Consideration except as provided in this
Section 2.08, and the Company shall give TCM prompt (and in any event no later
than the second business day after receipt thereof) notice thereof and TCM shall
have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect
to any such demands and to receive any related notices. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event no
later than the second business day after receipt thereof) deliver to TCM a copy
of all notices of intent to demand payment delivered to the Company in
compliance with Section 14-2-1321 of Georgia Law. Neither the Company nor the
Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of TCM,
voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
such demand for payment. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or
shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the shares of
Company Capital Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be
treated as though such shares had been converted into the Merger Consideration
pursuant to Section 2.06.

                                  ARTICLE III.

used, leased, occupied, managed or operated by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (the "Company Real Property"), comply and have at all times during
the Company's ownership, use or operation thereof complied in all material
respects with all applicable Environmental Laws. Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other person, has

under the Company Real Property, except in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws.

     (b) Neither the Assets nor the Company Real Property contain any Hazardous
Substances in, on, over, under or at it in concentrations which would presently
violate Environmental Laws or impose liability or obligations on the present or
former owner, manager, or operator of the Company Real Property under the
Environmental Laws for any investigation, corrective action, remediation or
monitoring of Hazardous Substances in, on, over, under or at the Company Real
Property. None of the Company Real Property is listed or proposed for listing on
the National Priorities List pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq., or any similar inventory of sites requiring investigation or remediation
maintained by any state. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has

other person of any actual or threatened Environmental Liabilities with respect
to the Company, its subsidiaries, the Company Real Property or the Assets or the
conduct of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     (c) There are no underground storage tanks, asbestos or asbestos containing
materials, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea formaldehyde, or other Hazardous
Substances (other than small quantities of Hazardous Substances stored and

for use in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its subsidiaries)
in, on, over, under or at any presently owned, managed or operated Company Real
Property.

     (d) To the knowledge of the Company, there are no conditions existing at
any Company Real Property or with respect to the Assets, that require, or which
with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both may require remedial or
corrective action, removal or closure pursuant to the Environmental Laws.

     (e) The Company has provided or made available to TCM all material
environmental reports, assessments, audits, studies, investigations, data and
other material written


                                       26

<PAGE>

environmental information in its custody, possession or control concerning the
Company, its subsidiaries, the Assets or the Company Real Property.

to the knowledge of the Company, by operation of law, by the Environmental Laws,
by common law or otherwise assumed or succeeded to any Environmental Liabilities
of any predecessors or any other person.

     SECTION 3.16 Brokers. Except for those fees and expenses payable to the
Company Financial Advisor, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to
any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or

and correct copy of all agreements between the Company and the Company Financial
Advisor, pursuant to which such firm would be entitled to any payment relating
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.17 Material Contracts. All of the material contracts that are
required to be described in the Company SEC Reports or required to be filed as
exhibits thereto have been described or filed as required. The Company is not,
and to the knowledge of the Company the other parties thereto are not, in
violation of, or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon
the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or
default under) any such contract, except for violations or defaults that
individually or in the aggregate have not and could not reasonably be expected
to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.18 Title to Properties; Absence of Encumbrances. The Company has
title to, or leasehold interests in, its properties sufficient to operate such
properties and to conduct its business in the ordinary course, except (i) for
those securing Taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies not
yet due and payable (excluding any imposed pursuant to any of the provisions of
ERISA), (ii) as listed in Section 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (iii)
such imperfections in title, liens and easements as do not materially detract
from or interfere with the use of the properties subject thereto or affected
thereby or otherwise materially impair business operations involving such
properties, and (iv) Encumbrances securing debt that is reflected in the most
recent financial statements contained in the Company SEC Reports (each of the
Encumbrances set forth in (i) through (iv), a "Permitted Encumbrance") that
individually or in the aggregate have not had and could not reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
subsidiaries have all patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
copyrights, know-how, processes and all agreements and other rights necessary to

enforceable and to the knowledge of the Company do not infringe on the rights of
any persons.

     SECTION 3.19 Insurance. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain policies
of fire and casualty, liability and other forms of insurance in such amounts,
with such deductibles and against such risks and losses as are, in the Company's
judgment, reasonable for the assets and properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries and customary in the Company's industry, except


                                       27

<PAGE>

where the failure to maintain any such policy has not had and could not
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As of the date
of this Agreement, except as individually or in the aggregate have not had and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and
except as set forth in Section 3.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter, all such
policies are in full force and effect, all premiums due and payable thereon have
been paid or accrued, and no notice of cancellation or termination has been
received by the Company with respect to any such policy.

     SECTION 3.20 Tax Matters. None of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or
any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents has
taken, or agreed or failed to take, any action that to their knowledge would
prevent the Merger from constituting a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. None of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or, to
the knowledge of the Company, any of their respective affiliates, directors,
officers, employees or agents is aware of any agreement, plan or other
circumstance that would prevent the Merger from constituting a reorganization
with the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

majority of each class of the then outstanding shares of Company Preferred
Stock, each voting separately as a single class, and (y) a majority of the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger is the
only vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company Capital Stock
necessary to approve or adopt this Agreement, the Merger or the consummation of
the other transactions contemplated hereby (the "Company Stockholders' Vote
Condition"). For purposes of the Company Stockholders' Vote Condition, each
outstanding share of Company Common Stock and each outstanding share of Company

     SECTION 3.22 State Takeover Statutes. The approval of this Agreement, the
Merger and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby by the Company Board referred to in Section 3.04(b) constitutes approval
of this Agreement, the Merger and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby for purposes of Section 14-2-1132 of Georgia Law
and represents the only action necessary to ensure that Section 14-2-1132 of
Georgia Law does not and will not apply to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the Merger or the
other transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Spin-off) or thereby. No
other state takeover or similar statute or regulation is applicable to this
Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Company has no shareholder rights or "poison pill" that would be applicable
to the Merger, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

     SECTION 3.23 Fairness Opinion. The Company has received the written opinion
of the Company Financial Advisor, in customary form and based on customary
assumptions, to the effect that the Common Stock Exchange Ratio is fair to the
holders of the Company Common Stock (other than J. Mack Robinson and other
affiliated stockholders of the Company). The Company has delivered to TCM a
true, correct and complete copy of such opinion. The Company has been authorized
by the Company Financial Advisor to permit the inclusion of such


                                       28

<PAGE>

opinion (and, subject to prior review and consent by the Company Financial
Advisor, a reference thereto) in the Company Proxy Statement.

     SECTION 3.24 No Other Representations and Warranties.

     (a) Except for (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article
IV, (ii) in connection with any information supplied by TCM for inclusion in the
Form S-4 and (iii) the representations and warranties contained in the Gray Side
Letter, the Company acknowledges that neither TCM nor any other person makes any
express or implied representation or warranty with respect to TCM or its

ownership, use or operation of the business of TCM and its subsidiaries Business
after the Closing.

     (b) In connection with the Company's investigation of the Assets and the
business of TCM and its subsidiaries, the Company may have received or may
receive from or on behalf of TCM or its subsidiaries certain projections or
forward-looking statements, including projected statements of operating revenues
and income from operations. The Company acknowledges that there are
uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and
other forecasts and plans, that the Company is familiar with such uncertainties,
that the Company is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of
the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and
plans so furnished to it, and that the Company, in the absence of fraud, or
except as provided in the next sentence, shall have no claim against TCM or any
of its subsidiaries or any other person acting on their behalf with respect
thereto whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the Closing Date. Accordingly, neither TCM nor its subsidiaries make any
representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections,
forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans, except that TCM and
its subsidiaries had a reasonable basis to make such estimates, projections,
forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 3.24(b) shall be construed to limit
the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 3.06,
3.07, 3.09, 3.10 and 3.18.

     TCM and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company, subject to such
qualifications and exceptions as are disclosed in writing in the applicable

subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and
free of


                                       30

the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by TCM
and Merger Sub do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary

independent public accountants thereon (the "TCM Audited Financial Statements"

                                       32

<PAGE>

were made, not misleading; provided, however, that TCM makes no representation
or warranty as to any of the information supplied by or on behalf of the Company
specifically for inclusion in the Form S-4.

     SECTION 4.09 Compliance, Permits.

non-compliance would not have a TCM Material Adverse Effect. Neither TCM nor any
of its subsidiaries has received any notice or other communication (whether
written or oral) from any Governmental Entity regarding any actual, alleged,
possible or potential violation of, or any failure to comply with, any Law,
except where any such violation or failure to comply would not have a TCM
Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Each of TCM and its subsidiaries possesses all permits, licenses,
consents, franchises, orders, approvals, certifications, registrations and

orders, approvals, certifications, registrations and authorizations required
under applicable Environmental Laws (collectively, the "TCM Permits"), except
where the failure to possess any of the foregoing would not have a TCM Material
Adverse Effect. All of the TCM Permits are valid and in full force and effect,
except where any such invalidity would not have a TCM Material Adverse Effect,
and there is no proceeding pending to revoke, cancel, rescind, refuse to renew
in the ordinary course or modify any of the TCM Permits. Each of TCM and its
subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the TCM Permits
and with all material requirements, standards and procedures of the Governmental
Entities that issued them, and with any limitation or, to the knowledge of TCM,
proposed limitation on any TCM Permit, except where such non-compliance would
not have a TCM Material Adverse Effect, and TCM has no reasonable basis to
believe that the business will not remain capable of continued operation
consistent with past practice and in compliance with the terms and conditions of
the TCM Permits following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.12 Litigation. Except as disclosed in Section 4.12 of the TCM

     (b) There are no labor disputes, including, without limitation, charges of
unfair labor practices within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act,

TCM or any of its subsidiaries. TCM has no knowledge of any strikes, slowdowns,
work stoppages or lockouts, or threats thereof, by or with respect to any
employees of TCM or any of its subsidiaries, and there have been no such
strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages or lockouts within the past three years. Each
of TCM and its subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Laws relating

would not have a TCM Material Adverse Effect. There has been no harassment,
discrimination, retaliatory act or similar claim against any officer, director

Returns and all other Tax Returns required to be filed by them or any of them
(taking into account applicable extensions), and have timely paid and discharged
all material Taxes required to be paid (whether or not shown on such Tax
Returns), other than Taxes the payment of which is being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings. The most recent TCM Financial Statements reflect,
with respect to any liability for Taxes of TCM and its subsidiaries for any
years ended on or before the date of such TCM Financial Statements and either
not finally determined or with respect to which the applicable statute of
limitations has not expired, an adequate reserve to satisfy any assessment for
such Taxes for such years. All federal income Tax Returns and all other Tax
Returns filed by or with respect to each of TCM and its subsidiaries with
respect to Taxes are true and correct in all material respects. Copies of all
federal, state and foreign income Tax Returns of or with respect to TCM and its
subsidiaries for the three years preceding the Closing Date that are true,
complete and correct in all material respects have been previously provided or
made available to the Company. Neither the IRS nor any other taxing authority or
agency is now asserting or, to TCM's knowledge, threatening to assert against
TCM or any of its subsidiaries any deficiency or claim for material additional
Taxes which have not been paid. There are no requests for information from the
IRS or any other taxing authority or agency currently outstanding with respect
to Taxes of or with respect to TCM or any of its subsidiaries. There are no
pending audits of TCM or any of its subsidiaries by any taxing authority nor, to
TCM's knowledge, are any proceedings (whether administrative or judicial)
currently being conducted with respect to any issues relating to Taxes. No Tax
claim has become a lien on any assets of TCM or any of its subsidiaries. Neither
TCM nor any of its subsidiaries is required to include in income (i) any
material items in respect of any change in accounting methods or (ii) any gain
with respect to installment sales.

over, under or at any presently owned, managed or operated TCM Real Property.

     (d) To the knowledge of TCM, there are no conditions existing at any TCM
Real Property or with respect to the Assets, that require, or which with the
giving of notice or the passage of time or both may require remedial or
corrective action, removal or closure pursuant to the Environmental Laws.

     (e) TCM has provided to the Company all material environmental reports,
assessments, audits, studies, investigations, data and other material written
environmental information in its custody, possession or control concerning TCM,
its subsidiaries, the Assets or TCM Real Property.

knowledge of TCM, by operation of law, by the Environmental Laws, by common law
or otherwise assumed or succeeded to any Environmental Liabilities of any
predecessors or any other person.

Form S-4 received from the SEC. TCM and the Company shall cooperate and provide
the other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment
or supplement to the Form S-4 prior to filing the same with the SEC, and such
parties will provide promptly each other with a copy of all such filings made
with the SEC.

     (b) Each of TCM and the Company covenant that the portions of the Form S-4
concerning itself, its subsidiaries, management, financial statements, business
and the holders of its capital stock (and in the case of the Company, the
special meeting of the shareholders of the Company) shall comply in all material
respects as to form with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each of TCM and the Company shall
furnish all information concerning itself, its subsidiaries, management,
financial statements, business and the holders of its capital stock and shall
take all such other action as may be reasonably requested in connection with the

that the Form S-4 contains or is informed by the other party that the
information supplied by it for inclusion in the Form S-4 contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein in order to make the statements therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, TCM and the Company
shall promptly prepare and TCM shall file an amendment or supplement to the Form
S-4 to correct the untrue statement or omission and take all other appropriate
action in respect thereof. Each party will advise the other party, promptly
after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become
effective, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification
of the TCM Common Stock issuable in connection with the merger or saleable in
any jurisdiction or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S-4.

(taking into account all of the terms and conditions of the Takeover Proposal,
including any conditions to consummation, break-up fees and expense

the value of the Merger Consideration (it being agreed that the Merger
Consideration shall be deemed to include such number of shares of TCM Common
Stock as it would have included pursuant to this Agreement had the transactions
consummated by this Agreement been consummated on the date on which the Company
Special Committee evaluates such Takeover Proposal).

converted into a stock option to purchase TCM Common Stock in a manner
consistent with Section 424 of the Code and as provided by


                                       49

<PAGE>

subsection (b) below, and, after the Effective Time, all references to the
Company in the Company Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreements
shall be deemed to refer to the Surviving Corporation, which shall have retained
the Company Option Plan as of the Effective Time by virtue of this Agreement and

with subsection (b) below.

     (b) Each Option so retained by the Surviving Corporation under this

by the Common Stock Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares of TCM Common Stock and (ii) the per share exercise price for the TCM
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Option shall be equal to the
quotient of (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which
such Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by

remaining outstanding following the Effective Time will qualify, to the maximum
extent permissible following the Effective Time, as incentive stock options as
defined in Section 422 of the Code solely to the extent such Options qualified
as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time.

     (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Company
will deliver to Option holders appropriate notices setting forth such holders'

otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Merger or this
Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent

directors and officers, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or

existing D&O Insurance, to the extent that such insurance policies provide
coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for all persons
who are directors and officers of the Company on the date of this Agreement (or
were prior to the date of this Agreement), so long as the annual premium after
the date of this Agreement for such D&O Insurance during such six-year period
would not exceed 300% of the annual premium as of the date of this Agreement.
If, during such six-year period, such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at
all or can only be obtained for an amount in excess of 300% of the annual
premium therefor as of the date of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation
shall use reasonable best efforts to cause insurance coverage to be obtained for
an amount equal to 300% of the current annual premium therefore, on terms and
conditions substantially similar to the existing D&O Insurance. Set forth in

premium currently paid by the Company for its D&O Insurance.

     (c) If any claim or claims shall, subsequent to the Effective Time and
within six years thereafter, be made in writing against any present or former
director or officer of the Company based on or arising out of the services of
such person at or prior to the Effective Time in the capacity of such person as
a director or officer of the Company (and such director or officer promptly
shall have given the Surviving Corporation written notice of such claim or
claims within such six-year period), the provisions of Sections 5.11(a) and (b)
respecting the rights to indemnify the current or former directors or officers
under the Company Articles of Incorporation and Company By-Laws shall continue
in effect until the final disposition of all such claims.

     (d) The provisions of this Section 5.11 are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by each indemnified party, his or her heirs and
representative and may not be amended, altered or repealed without the prior
written consent of the affected indemnified party.

satisfactory to each of the parties' counsel and shall furnish such counsel with
such certified copies of such corporate actions and proceedings and such other
instruments and documents as it shall have reasonably requested.

<PAGE>

Company Stockholders from a financial point of view, which opinion shall not

                                   TERMINATION

     SECTION 7.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger
may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (with respect to
Section 7.01(b) through (h), by written notice by the terminating party to the
other party):

     (a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the TCM Board, TCM Special
Committee, board of directors of Merger Sub, the Company Board and the Company
Special Committee; or

     (b) by either the TCM Special Committee or the Company Special Committee,
if a Governmental Entity shall have (i) issued a non-appealable final judgment,
order, injunction, decree or ruling or taken any other action or (ii) enacted,
enforced or deemed applicable to the Merger a Law in final form, in each case
having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining, prohibiting or making
illegal the consummation of the Merger (provided that the party seeking to
terminate pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) shall have used commercially
reasonable efforts to have any such judgment, order, injunction, decree, ruling
or other action vacated or lifted); or

     (c) by the TCM Special Committee, (i) upon a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement such
that the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) or 6.02(b) would not be
satisfied (a "Company Terminating Breach"),


                                       57

<PAGE>

provided that, if such Company Terminating Breach is curable prior to the
expiration of 30 days from notice to the Company of its occurrence through the
exercise of the Company's commercially reasonable efforts, and for so long as
the Company continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, the TCM
Special Committee may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.01(c)
until the expiration of such 15-day period (but in no event shall the preceding
proviso be deemed to extend the date set forth in Section 7.01(e)), or (ii) if
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 is or becomes
impossible (other than through the failure of TCM or the Merger Sub to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement); or

     (d) by the Company Special Committee, (i) upon a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of TCM or Merger Sub set forth
in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.03(a) or
6.03(b) would not be satisfied (a "TCM Terminating Breach"), provided that, if
such TCM Terminating Breach is curable prior to the expiration of 30 days from
notice to TCM of its occurrence through the exercise of TCM's commercially
reasonable efforts, and for so long as TCM continues to exercise such
commercially reasonable efforts, the Company Special Committee may not terminate
this Agreement under this Section 7.01(d) until the expiration of such 30-day
period (but in no event shall the preceding proviso be deemed to extend the date
set forth in Section 7.01(e)), or (ii) if satisfaction of any of the conditions
set forth in Section 6.03 is or becomes impossible (other than through the
failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under this Agreement); or

     (e) by either the Company Special Committee or the TCM Special Committee,
if the Merger has not been consummated by the 12-month anniversary of the
execution of this Agreement (provided that the failure to consummate the Merger
by such date was not the result of any act or failure to act by the party
seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(e)); or

     (f) by TCM, if the Company Board and the Company Special Committee shall
have failed to recommend or shall be withdrawn, or modified or changed in a
manner adverse to TCM its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the
Merger or shall have recommended a Superior Proposal, or the Company shall have
entered into a definitive agreement in respect of a Takeover Proposal with a
Person other than TCM or its subsidiaries (or the Company Board or the Company
Special Committee resolves to do any of the foregoing); or

     (g) by the Company, if the Company Board and the Company Special Committee
authorizes the Company, subject to complying with Section 5.03 of this
Agreement, to enter into a binding agreement concerning a transaction that
constitutes a Superior Proposal;

     (h) by either the TCM Special Committee or the Company Special Committee,
if the Stockholder Vote Condition shall not have been satisfied by reason of the
failure to obtain the required vote at the Company Stockholders' Meeting;

     (i) by either TCM or the Company, if the Separation and Distribution
Agreement is terminated; or


                                       58

<PAGE>

     (j) by the Company, if any material amendment or modification of the
Separation and Distribution Agreement to the disadvantage of TCM had been made
or if the Separation and Distribution Agreement is breached in any material
respect.

     SECTION 7.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 7.01, all further obligations of the parties under this
Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Section 5.09 will
survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party
because of the breach of this Agreement by the other party, or because one or
more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this
Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to
pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. Without
limiting the foregoing, if the Merger is not consummated and (x) if the Company
shall have breached any of its obligations under Section 5.03 hereof, the actual
Transaction Expenses of TCM and Merger Sub shall be paid by the Company to TCM
or (y) if TCM shall have breached any of its obligations under Section 5.03
hereof, the actual Transaction Expenses of the Company shall be paid by TCM to
the Company.

any of its agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or
waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the

     SECTION 8.04 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.


                                       60

<PAGE>

     SECTION 8.05 Limited Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, in the absence of fraud, no stockholder, director, officer,
affiliate, agent, representative or counsel of the Company, TCM or Merger Sub,
in its capacity as such, shall have any liability in respect of or relating to
the covenants, obligations, representations or warranties of such party under
this Agreement or in respect of any certificate delivered with respect hereto or
thereto and, to the fullest extent legally permissible, each of the Company, TCM
and Merger Sub, for itself and its stockholders, directors, officers and
affiliates, waives and agrees not to seek to assert or enforce any such
liability that any such person otherwise might have pursuant to applicable law.

     SECTION 8.06 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement nevertheless shall
remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to
any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the TCM Special Committee and the
Company Special Committee shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement
so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an
acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled
to the extent possible.

     SECTION 8.07 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including any
exhibits and schedules hereto), the Company Disclosure Letter, the TCM
Disclosure Letter and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement
among the parties hereto and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements
and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended prior to the
Company Stockholders' Action being adopted only by an instrument in writing
approved by the TCM Special Committee and the Company Special Committee and
signed by TCM, Merger Sub and the Company stating that it constitutes an
amendment to this Agreement, except that the provisions of Section 5.11 shall
not be amended except as provided therein.

     SECTION 8.08 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in
whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto
without the prior written approval of the TCM Special Committee or the Company
Special Committee, as applicable, and any such assignment without such prior
written approval shall be null and void, except that TCM and/or Merger Sub may
assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TCM
without consent of the Company; provided that (1) TCM shall remain liable for
all of its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to issue
shares of TCM Common Stock as contemplated herein and (2) such assignment does
not cause the Merger to fail to be treated as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

     SECTION 8.09 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors, and except
as provided in Section 5.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon


                                       61

<PAGE>

any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or
by reason of this Agreement.

     SECTION 8.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right
hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or
acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or
further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available.

     SECTION 8.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     SECTION 8.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     SECTION 8.14 Jurisdiction; Forum. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents
to submit itself to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any federal court
located in the City of New York in the event any dispute arises out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii)
agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by
motion or other request for leave from any such court.

     SECTION 8.15 General Interpretative Provisions; Definition of Knowledge.

     (a) Terms for which meanings are defined in this Agreement shall apply
equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the
context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine and
feminine forms. Words such as "herein," "hereafter," "hereto," "hereby" and
"hereunder," when used with reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement
as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. The words "include",
"includes," "included," "including" and "such as" shall be construed as if
followed by the phrase "without being limited to." No distinction in
interpretation shall be made between the terms "shall" and "will."

     (b) As used herein, the words "knowledge" or "known" shall mean, (i) with
respect to the Company, the actual knowledge (and not constructive) of Thomas J.
Stultz, Frederick J. Erickson and Robert S. Prather, Jr., each in their capacity
as an officer or director of the


                                       62

<PAGE>

Company, (ii) with respect to TCM, the actual knowledge (and not constructive)
of Robert S. Prather, Jr. and James C. Ryan, each in their capacity as an
officer or director of TCM, and in each case after any of the foregoing
individuals have made due and diligent inquiry as to the matters which are the
subject of the statements which are "known" by the Company or TCM, as
applicable, or made to the "knowledge" of the Company or TCM, as applicable.

     SECTION 8.16 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto
agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek a preliminary and
permanent injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches, or threatened breaches,
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in
any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, without the
need to post bond or furnish other security, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

     SECTION 8.17 Attorneys' Fees. If any action, suit, arbitration or other
proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement is brought, or because of an
alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of
the provisions hereof, or otherwise relating to or in connection with this
Agreement, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action, suit,
arbitration or other proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may
be entitled.

     SECTION 8.18 Limitation of Liability
