and agrees that, during the term of Employee's employment and for two (2) years

     9. Restrictive Covenants. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, because of

as provided herein, Employee agrees to the following provisions:

          (a) Employee agrees that during the term of his employment and for a
period of one (1) year thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly,
either individually, in partnership, jointly, or in conjunction with, or on
behalf of any person, firm, partnership, corporation, or unincorporated

<PAGE>

which is traded on a national exchange or in an automated quotations system), or

management, or control of, the companies listed on Exhibit A attached hereto;

          (b) Employee agrees that during the term of his employment and for a
period of one (1) year thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly,
either individually, in partnership, jointly, or in conjunction with, or on
behalf of, any person, firm, partnership, corporation, unincorporated
association or other entity of any kind, solicit or contact, for the purpose of
providing products or services the same as or substantially similar to those
provided by the Subsidiary in connection with the Business, any person or entity

days prior to the date of termination of the Employee's employment or persuade
or attempt to persuade any such person to terminate or modify his or her
employment relationship, whether or not pursuant to a written agreement, with
the Subsidiary.

     Employee acknowledges that the time restrictions and scope included in this
Section 9 are as narrow as possible and cannot be reduced and still adequately
protect the Subsidiary's

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

business interests. Employee acknowledges that the scope of this Section 9 is
reasonable and necessary to protect the Subsidiary's legitimate business
interests.

     10. Remedy for Breach. Employee agrees that the damage to the Subsidiary
resulting from any actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of the
covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement would be immediate,
irreparable and difficult to measure, and that money damages would not be an
adequate remedy. Therefore, Employee agrees that the Subsidiary shall be
entitled to specific performance of the covenants in any of such sections or
injunctive relief, by temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate
judicial remedy, writ or order, or both, in addition to any damages and legal
expenses (including attorneys' fees) which the Subsidiary may be legally
entitled to recover.

     11. Survival. The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

     12. Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs while the Employee is
employed by the Subsidiary during the term of this Agreement, or during any
extension thereof, and:

          (a) the Employee's employment is terminated involuntarily, or
voluntarily by the Employee based on (i) material changes in the nature or scope
of the Employee's duties or employment, (ii) a reduction in compensation of the
Employee made without the Employee's consent, (iii) a relocation of the
Subsidiary's executive offices outside the Atlanta, Georgia Metropolitan Area or
farther than 35 miles from the present location of the executive offices, or
(iv) a good faith determination made by the Employee, upon consultation with the
Board of Directors of the Subsidiary, that it is necessary or appropriate for
the Employee to relocate from the Atlanta, Georgia Metropolitan Area to enable
Employee to perform his duties hereunder, the

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

Employee may, in his sole discretion, give written notice within thirty (30)
days after the date of termination of employment to the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Subsidiary that he is exercising his rights hereunder and
requests payment of the amounts provided for under this Section 12; or

          (b) the Employee gives written notice of his termination of employment
for any reason concurrently with the time a Change of Control occurs or any time
within thirty (30) days after the date the Change of Control becomes effective
to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Subsidiary, he may exercise his
rights hereunder and request payment of the amounts provided for under this
Section 12 (the notice provided pursuant to Subsection 12(a) or Subsection 12(b)
is referred to as the "Notice of Exercise").

     If the Employee gives a Notice of Exercise to receive the payments provided
for hereunder, the Subsidiary shall pay to or for the benefit of the Employee,
immediately upon the Subsidiary's receipt of the Notice of Exercise, a single
cash payment for damages suffered by the Employee by reason of the Change in
Control (the "Executive Payment") in an amount equal to 2.99 times the
aggregated of Employee's annual base salary, bonuses and other benefits owing to
Employee, subject to the provisions of Sections 21, 22 and 23.

     The Executive Payment shall be in addition to and shall not be offset or
reduced by (i) any other amounts that have been earned or accrued or that have
otherwise become payable or will become payable to the Employee or his
beneficiaries, but have not been paid by the Subsidiary at the time the Employee
gives the Notice of Exercise including, without limitation, salary, bonuses,
severance pay, consulting fees, disability benefits, termination benefits,
retirement benefits, life and health insurance benefits or any other
compensation or benefit payment that is part of any previous, current or future
contract, plan or agreement, written or

                                       -9-
<PAGE>

oral, and (ii) any indemnification payments that may have accrued but not paid
or that may thereafter become payable to the Employee pursuant to the provisions
of the Subsidiary's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or similar policies, plans
or agreements relating to the indemnification of Employee under certain
circumstances. The Executive Payment shall not be reduced by any present value
calculations.

     In the event the Employee dies after giving the Notice of Exercise but
prior to receipt of the Executive Payment, then the Employee's estate or legal
representative shall be entitled to receive the Executive Payment.

shall be subject to the Excise Tax. The Reduced Amount shall be calculated by a
nationally recognized benefits consulting firm or accounting firm, and such
amount shall be presented to Employee for review and approval. If the amount
payable to Employee is limited to the Reduced Amount, Employee shall have the
right, in Employee's sole discretion, to designate the portion

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

of the Total Payment that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having
the benefits provided to Employee under this Agreement be subject to the Excise
Tax.

     22. Notification. If the Internal Revenue Service claims in writing that
any benefit received under this Agreement constitutes an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code, Employee shall notify the Subsidiary in
writing of such claim within 10 business days of the claim. Employee shall
apprise the Subsidiary of the nature of such claim and the date on which such
claim is requested to be paid. Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the
expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which Employee provides
notice of the claim to the Subsidiary (or such shorter period ending on the date
that any payment of taxes with respect to the claim is due). If the Subsidiary
notifies Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it
desires to contest such claim, Employee shall (i) give the Subsidiary any
information reasonably requested by the Subsidiary relating to such claim; (ii)
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Subsidiary
shall reasonably request in writing from time to time; (iii) cooperate with the
Subsidiary in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv)
permit the Subsidiary to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;
provided, however, that the Subsidiary shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, additional interest and penalties and
related legal, consulting or similar fees) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis,
for any Excise Tax or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect
thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and
expenses.

     23. Excise Tax Refund. If, after the receipt by Employee of an amount
advanced by the Subsidiary in connection with the contest of the Excise Tax
claim, Employee becomes

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim. Employee shall
promptly pay to the Subsidiary the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto), provided,
however, that if the amount of that refund exceeds the amount advanced by the
Subsidiary or it is otherwise determined for any reason that additional amounts
could be paid to Employee without incurring any Excise Tax, any such amount will
be promptly paid by the Subsidiary to Employee. If, after the receipt of an
amount advanced by the Subsidiary in connection with an Excise Tax claim, a
determination is made that Employee shall not be entitled to any refund with
respect to such claim and the Subsidiary does not notify Employee in writing of
its intent to contest the denial of such refund prior to the expiration of 30
days after such determination, such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be
required to be repaid and shall be deemed to be in consideration for services
rendered after date of the termination of Employee's employment.

     24. Employee's Expenses. All costs and expenses, including reasonable
legal, accounting and other advisory fees, incurred by the Employee to prepare
responses to an Internal Revenue Service audit of, and otherwise defend, his
personal income tax return for any year that is the subject of any such audit or
an adverse determination, administrative proceeding or civil litigation arising
therefrom that is occasioned by, or related to, an audit by the Internal Revenue
Service of the Subsidiary's consolidated income tax returns are, upon written
demand by the Employee explaining the basis for the request for such
reimbursement or advancement, to be promptly advanced or reimbursed to the
Employee or paid directly, on a current basis, by the Subsidiary or its
successors.

     Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 24 and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, if at any time during the term of this Agreement or
afterwards there should arise any

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

litigation, hearing or arbitration as to the interpretation or application of
any term or condition of this Agreement, the Subsidiary agrees, upon written
demand by the Employee (and the employee shall be entitled upon application to
any court of competent jurisdiction, to the entry of a mandatory injunction,
without the necessity of posting any bond with respect thereto, compelling the
Subsidiary), promptly to provide sums sufficient to pay on a current basis,
either directly or by reimbursing the Employee, the Employee's costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees, including, without limitation, expenses of
investigation and disbursements for the fees and expenses of experts, incurred
by the Employee in connection with any such litigation, hearing or arbitration;
provided, however, if the Employee is not the prevailing party in such
litigation, hearing or arbitration, then Employee shall pay or reimburse the
Subsidiary for its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, including, without
limitation, expenses of investigation and disbursements for the fees and
expenses of experts (other than Affiliates), incurred by the Subsidiary in
connection with any such litigation, hearing or arbitration, together with all
such costs and fees previously paid by the Subsidiary to or for the benefit of
Employee in connection with such litigation, hearing or arbitration.
