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

           WHEREAS, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Agent and the Borrower are party to that
certain Line of Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 1999, as amended by
that certain First Amendment to Line of Credit Agreement dated as of September
29, 1999 (as so amended, the "Line of Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Lenders made available to Borrower credit facilities subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein; and

           WHEREAS, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Agent and the Borrower, at the request of
the Borrower, desire to extend the Line of Credit Termination Date to January
19, 2001.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions
contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
amend the Line of Credit Agreement and agree as follows:

          1. The Line of Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the
definition of "Line of Credit Termination Date" in Section 1.01 in its entirety
with the following:

                  "Line of Credit Termination Date" shall mean the earlier of
         (i) January 19, 2001 and (ii) the date on which the Line of Credit
         Commitments are terminated in accordance with Article VIII.
<PAGE>

          2. The effectiveness of this Second Amendment is conditioned upon the
Administrative Agent's receipt of the following, each dated as of the date
hereof, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the
Administrative Agent:

         (a) The duly executed original counterparts of this Second Amendment;

         (b) The duly executed Consent and Ratification of Guaranty (Line of
Credit Agreement), dated as of the date hereof, by and among each of the
Subsidiaries of Borrower, listed on the signature pages thereof and the
Administrative Agent; and

         (c) Certificates of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of each of the
Credit Parties certifying (i) the name, title and true signature of each officer
of such entities executing this Second Amendment and the other Credit Documents,
(ii) that there have been no changes to the bylaws or comparable governing
documents of such entities since the delivery thereof to the Lenders in
connection with the Line of Credit Agreement and that such bylaws or comparable
governing documents remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (iii)
that there have been no changes to the certificates or articles of incorporation
of each Credit Party since the delivery thereof to the Lenders in connection
with the Line of Credit Agreement and that such certificates or articles of
incorporation remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof; and (iv)
the resolutions of the board of directors of such entities authorizing the
transactions contemplated under the Second Amendment and the other Credit
Documents.

          3. Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment and
the Credit Documents, (i) the assets of Borrower, at fair valuation and based on
their present fair saleable value, will exceed Borrower's debts, including
contingent liabilities, (ii) the remaining capital of Borrower will not be
unreasonably small to conduct Borrower's business, and (iii) Borrower will not
have incurred debts, or have intended to incur debts, beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature. For purposes of this paragraph, "debt" means any
liability on a claim, and "claim" means (a) the right to payment, whether or not
such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent,
matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or
unsecured, or (b) the right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if
such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an
equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured,
disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

          4. Except as expressly provided herein, the Line of Credit Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect, and the unamended terms and conditions
of the Line of Credit Agreement are expressly incorporated herein and ratified
and confirmed in all respects. This Second Amendment is not intended to be or to
create, nor shall it be construed as, a novation or an accord and satisfaction.

          5. From and after the date hereof, references to the Line of Credit
Agreement shall be references to the Line of Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          6. This Second Amendment constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Second
Amendment nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, modified
or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties
required to be a party thereto pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Line of Credit
Agreement.

          7. THIS SECOND AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
(WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

          8. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which,
taken together, shall constitute one and the same document, and shall be
effective as of the date first above written.

          9. Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent in
connection with this Second Amendment.

                                       3

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Agent and the Required
