                                     TO THE

                                       I.

         The name of the corporation is BioShield Technologies, Inc. (the

                                       II.

Incorporation, as amended is amended to read in full as follows: The Corporation
hereby designates that the total number of shares of capital stock which the
Corporation has authority to issue is 50,000,000, divided into 40,000,000 shares
of "Common Stock," no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of capital stock, no par
value, to be designated as "Preferred Stock."

                                      III.

         The Corporation hereby designates 500 of the 10,000,000 authorized
shares of its Preferred Stock as "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock," no par
value (the "PREFERRED STOCK") and shall possess the rights and privileges set

                  (1) Dividends. The Series B Preferred Shares shall not bear
         any dividends.

                  (2) Holder's Conversion of Series B Preferred Shares. A holder
         of Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right, at such holder's
         option, to convert the Series B Preferred Shares into shares of the
         Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), on
         the following terms and conditions:

                           (a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of
                  Sections 2(j) and 3(a) below, at any time or times on or after
                  the earlier to occur of (i) 90 days after the Issuance Date
                  (as defined herein) or (ii) the date that Registration
                  Statement filed by the Company registering the Common Stock to
                  be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is declared
                  effective (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") by the U.S. Securities and
                  Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), any holder of Series B
                  Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert any Series B
                  Preferred Shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares
                  (rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with Section
                  2(h) below) of Common Stock, at the Conversion Rate (as
                  defined below); provided, however, that in no event other than
                  upon a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof,
                  shall any holder be entitled to convert Series B Preferred
                  Shares in excess of that number of Series B Preferred Shares
                  which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the
                  aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
                  by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.9% of the
                  outstanding
<PAGE>   2
                  shares of the Common Stock following such conversion. For
                  purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of
                  shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and
                  its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
                  Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
                  Shares with respect to which the determination of such proviso
                  is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
                  Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of the
                  remaining, nonconverted Series B Preferred Shares beneficially
                  owned by the holder and its affiliates. Except as set forth in
                  the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph,
                  beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
                  Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
                  amended.

                           (b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common
                  Stock issuable upon conversion of each of the Series B
                  Preferred Shares pursuant to Section (2)(a) shall be
                  determined according to the following formula (the "CONVERSION
                  RATE");

                              (.05)(N/365)(20,000) + 20,000

                           of Directors of the Company (all as appropriately
                           adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or other

                           been registered with the SEC at the election of the
                           Company. In the event that the Company elects to pay
                           the Coupon in cash, the formula used to calculate the
                           Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to exclude the
                           calculation of the Coupon.

                           (c) Adjustment to Conversion Price - Dilution and
                  Other Events. In order to prevent dilution of the rights

                  subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
                  Section 2(d).

                           consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will
                           make appropriate provision to insure that each of the

                           Shares. The Company will not effect any such
                           consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the
                           consummation thereof the successor entity (if other
                           than the Company) resulting from consolidation or
                           merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes,

                                    written notice to each holder of Series B
                                    Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days
                                    prior to the date on which any Organic
                                    Change (as defined below), dissolution or
                                    liquidation will take place.

                           (d) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to the Company's
                  inability to fully satisfy its obligations under a Conversion
                  Notice (as defined below) as provided for in Section 5 below:

                                    (i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. To
                           convert Series B Preferred Shares into full shares of
                           Common Stock on any date (the "CONVERSION DATE"), the
                           holder thereof shall (A) deliver or transmit by
                           facsimile, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m.,
                           Eastern Standard Time, on such date, a copy of a
                           fully executed notice of conversion in the form
                           attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "CONVERSION
                           NOTICE") to the Company or its designated transfer
                           agent (the "TRANSFER AGENT"), and (B) surrender to a
                           common carrier for delivery to the Company or the
                           Transfer Agent as soon as practicable following such
                           date, the original certificates representing the
                           Series B Preferred Shares being converted (or an
                           indemnification undertaking with respect to such
                           shares in the case of their loss, theft or
                           destruction) (the "PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATES") and
                           the originally executed Conversion Notice.

                                    (ii) Company's Response. Upon receipt by the
                           Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice,
                           the Company shall immediately send, via Facsimile, a
                           confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to
                           such holder. Upon receipt by the Company or the
                           Transfer Agent of the Preferred Stock Certificates to
                           be converted pursuant to a Conversion Notice,
                           together with the originally executed Conversion
                           Notice, the Company or the Transfer Agent (as
                           applicable) shall, within five (5) business days
                           following the date of receipt, (A) issue and
                           surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery
                           to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice,
                           a certificate, registered in the name of the holder
                           or its designee, for the number of shares of Common
                           Stock to which the holder shall be entitled or (B)
                           credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
                           to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder's
                           or its designee's balance account at The Depository
                           Trust Company.

                                    (iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a
                           dispute as to the determination of the Average Market
                           Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion
                           Rate, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder
                           the number of shares of Common Stock that is not
                           disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations
                           or arithmetic calculations to the holder via
                           facsimile within three (3) business days of receipt
                           of such holder's Conversion Notice. If such holder
                           and the Company are unable to agree upon the
                           determination of the Average Market Price or
                           arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within
                           three (3) business days of such disputed
                           determination or arithmetic calculation being
                           submitted to the holder, then the Company shall
                           within one (1) business day submit via facsimile (A)
                           the disputed determination of the Average Market
                           Price to an independent, reputable investment bank or
                           (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the
                           Conversion Rate to its independent, outside
                           accountant. The Company shall cause the investment
                           bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to
                           perform the determinations or calculations and notify
                           the Company and the holder of the results no later
                           than forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives
                           the disputed determinations or calculations. Such
                           investment bank's or accountant's determination or
                           calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding
                           upon all parties absent manifest error.

                                    (iv) Record Holder. The person or persons
                           entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock
                           issuable upon a conversion of Series B Preferred
                           Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the
                           record holder or holders of such shares of Common
                           Stock on the Conversion Date.

                           (e) NASDAQ Listing. So long as the Common Stock is
                  listed for trading on Nasdaq-SM or an exchange or quotation
                  system with a rule substantially similar to Rule 4460(i) then,
                  notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein if,
                  at any time, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
                  then issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares
                  (including any shares of capital stock or rights to acquire
                  shares of capital stock issued by the Corporation which are
                  aggregated or integrated with the Common Stock issued or
                  issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares for
                  purposes of such rule) equals 19.99% of the "OUTSTANDING
                  COMMON AMOUNT" (as hereinafter defined), the Series B
                  Preferred Shares shall, from that time forward, cease to be
                  convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms
                  hereof, unless the Corporation (i) has obtained approval of
                  the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series
                  B Preferred Shares by a majority of the total votes cast on
                  such proposal, in person or by proxy, by the holders of the
                  then-outstanding Common Stock (not including any shares of
                  Common Stock held by present or former holders of Series B
                  Preferred Shares that were issued upon conversion of Series B
                  Preferred Shares (the "STOCKHOLDER Approval"), or (ii) shall
                  have otherwise obtained permission to allow such issuances

                                       6

                  from Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 4460(i). If the
                  Corporation's Common Stock is not then listed on Nasdaq or an
                  exchange or quotation system that has a rule substantially
                  similar to Rule 4460(i) then the limitations set forth herein
                  shall be inapplicable and of no force and effect. For purposes
                  of this paragraph, "OUTSTANDING COMMON AMOUNT" means (i) the
                  number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date
                  of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to the
                  Purchase Agreement plus (ii) any additional shares of Common
                  Stock issued thereafter in respect of such shares pursuant to
                  a stock dividend, stock split or similar event. The maximum
                  number of shares of Common Stock issuable as a result of the
                  19.99% limitation set forth herein is hereinafter referred to
                  as the "MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT." With respect to each holder of
                  Series B Preferred Shares, the Maximum Share Amount shall
                  refer to such holder's pro rata share thereof. In the event
                  that Corporation obtains Stockholder Approval or the approval
                  of Nasdaq, or by reason of the inapplicability of the rules of
                  Nasdaq or otherwise, the Corporation concludes that it is able
                  to increase the number of shares to be issued above the
                  Maximum Share Amount (such increased number being the "NEW
                  MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT"), the references to Maximum Share
                  Amount, above, shall be deemed to be, instead, references to
                  the greater New Maximum Share Amount. In the event that
                  Stockholder Approval is obtained and there are insufficient
                  reserved or authorized shares, or a registration statement
                  covering the additional shares of Common Stock which
                  constitute the New Maximum Share Amount is not effective prior
                  to the Maximum Share Amount being issued (if such registration
                  statement is necessary to allow for the public resale of such
                  securities), the Maximum Share Amount shall remain unchanged;
                  provided, however, that the holders of Series B Preferred
                  Shares may grant an extension to obtain a sufficient reserved
                  or authorized amount of shares or of the effective date of
                  such registration statement. In the event that (a) the
                  aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued
                  upon conversion of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares
                  represents at least twenty percent (20%) of the Maximum Share
                  Amount and (b) the sum of (x) the aggregate number of shares
                  of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred
                  Shares plus (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
                  that remain issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred
                  Shares and based on the Conversion Price then in effect),
                  represents at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Maximum
                  Share Amount, the Corporation will use its best reasonable
                  efforts to seek and obtain Stockholder Approval (or obtain
                  such other relief as will allow conversions hereunder in
                  excess of the Maximum Share Amount) as soon as practicable
                  following the Triggering Event and before the Mandatory
                  Redemption Date.

                           (f) Mandatory Conversion. If any Series B Preferred
                  Shares remain outstanding on June 14, 2003, then all such
                  Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted as of such date
                  in accordance with this Section 2 as if the holders of such
                  Series B Preferred Shares had given the Conversion Notice on
                  June 14, 2003, and the Conversion Date had been fixed as of
                  June 14, 2003, (the "MANDATORY CONVERSION DATE") for all
                  purposes of this Section 2, and all holders of Series B
                  Preferred Shares

                                       7

                  shall thereupon and within two (2) business days thereafter
                  surrender all Preferred Stock Certificates, duly endorsed for
                  cancellation, to the Company or the Transfer Agent. No person
                  shall thereafter have any rights in respect of Series B
                  Preferred Shares, except the right to receive shares of Common
                  Stock on conversion thereof as provided in this Section 2.

                           (g) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue
                  any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.
                  All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof)
                  issuable upon conversion of more than one share of the Series
                  B Preferred Shares by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for
                  purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in
                  the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If,
                  after the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would
                  result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common
                  Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of
                  Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share.

                           (h) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes
                  which may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and
                  delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B
                  Preferred Shares.

                           (i) Lock-Up. [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

                  (3) Company's Right to Redeem at its Election.

                           (a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Company
                  shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem
                  ("REDEMPTION AT COMPANY'S ELECTION"), from time to time, any
                  or all of the Series B Preferred Shares; provided (i) Company
                  shall first provide twenty-five (25) Trading Days advance
                  written notice as provided in subparagraph 3(a)(ii) below, and
                  (ii) that the Company shall only be entitled to redeem Series
                  B Preferred Shares having an aggregate Stated Value (as
                  defined below) of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
                  ($500,000). If the Company elects to redeem some, but not all,
                  of the Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall redeem a
                  pro-rata amount from each holder of the Series B Preferred
                  Shares.

                                    (i) Redemption Price At Company's Election.
                           The "REDEMPTION PRICE AT COMPANY'S ELECTION" shall be
                           calculated as 125% of the Stated Value. For purposes
                           hereof, "STATED VALUE" shall mean the original
                           purchase price of Preferred Stock being redeemed plus
                           any accrued and unpaid coupon due thereunder.

                                    (ii) Mechanics of Redemption at Company's
                           Election. The Company shall effect each such
                           redemption by giving at least twenty five (25)
                           Trading Days prior written notice ("NOTICE OF
                           REDEMPTION AT COMPANY'S ELECTION") to (A) the holders
                           of the Series B Preferred Shares

                           selected for redemption at the address and facsimile
                           number of such holder appearing in the Company's
                           Series B Preferred Shares register and (B) the
                           Transfer Agent, which Notice of Redemption At
                           Company's Election shall be deemed to have been
                           delivered three (3) business days after the Company's
                           mailing (by overnight or two (2) day courier, with a
                           copy by facsimile) of such Notice of Redemption at
                           Company's Election. Such Notice of Redemption At
                           Company's Election shall indicate (i) the number of
                           shares of Series B Preferred Shares that have been
                           selected for redemption, (ii) the date which such
                           redemption is to become effective (the "DATE OF
                           REDEMPTION AT COMPANY'S ELECTION") and (iii) the
                           applicable Redemption Price At Company's Election, as
                           defined in subsection (a)(i) above. Notwithstanding
                           the above, the holder may convert into Common Stock,
                           prior to the close of business on the Date of
                           Redemption at Company's Election, any Series B
                           Preferred Shares which it is otherwise entitled to
                           convert, including Series B Preferred Shares that has
                           been selected for redemption at Company's election
                           pursuant to this subsection 3(a).

                           (b) Company Must Have Immediately Available Funds or
                  Credit Facilities. The Company shall not be entitled to send
                  any Redemption Notice and begin the redemption procedure under
                  Section 3(a) unless it has:

                                    (i) the full amount of the redemption price
                           to cash, available in a demand or other immediately
                           available account in a bank or similar financial
                           institution; or

                                    (ii) immediately available credit
                           facilities, in the full amount of the redemption
                           price with a bank or similar financial institution,
                           or

                                    (iii) an agreement with a standby
                           underwriter willing to purchase from the Company a
                           sufficient number of shares of stock to provide
                           proceeds necessary to redeem any stock that is not
                           converted prior to redemptions; or

                                    (iv) a combination of the items set forth in
                           (i), (ii), and (iii) above, aggregating the full
                           amount of the redemption price.

                           (c) Payment of Redemption Price. Each holder
                  submitting Series B Preferred Shares being redeemed under this
                  Section 3 shall send their Preferred Stock Certificates to
                  redeemed to the Company or its Transfer Agent, and the Company
                  shall pay the applicable redemption price to that Holder
                  within five (5) business days of the Date of Redemption at
                  Company's Election. If the Company fails to pay the Redemption
                  Price, the redemption right provided in this section shall be
                  declared null and void. However, this redemption right shall
                  not be null and void if a bona fide dispute exists with
                  respect to the calculation of the Redemption Price.

<PAGE>   10
                  (4) Reissuance of Certificates. In the event of a conversion
         or redemption pursuant to this Amendment of less than all of the Series
         B Preferred Shares represented by a particular Preferred Stock
         Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and
         delivered to the holder of such Series B Preferred Shares a Preferred
         Stock Certificate representing the remaining Series B Preferred Shares
         which have not been so converted or redeemed.

                  (5) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, so long as any
         of the Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding reserve and keep
         available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for
         the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred
         Shares, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to
         time be sufficient to affect the conversion of all of the Series B
         Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided that the number of shares
         of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than 100% of the
         number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series B Preferred
         Shares are at any time convertible,

                  (6) Voting Rights. Holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall
         have no voting rights, except as required by law, including but not
         limited to the Corporation Law of the State of Georgia and as expressly
         provided in this Amendment.

                  (7) Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of any
         voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
         Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled
         to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from
         capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders
         (the "PREFERRED FUNDS"), before any amount shall be paid to the holders
         of any of the capital stock of the Company of any class junior in rank
         to the Series B Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to
         the distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and
         winding up of the Company, an amount per Series B Preferred Share equal
         to the sum of (i) $20,000 and (ii) an amount equal to the product of
         (.05) (N/365) ($20,000) (where "N" has the meaning specified in Section
         2(b)(viii); (such sum being referred to as the "LIQUIDATION VALUE");
         provided that, if the Preferred Funds are insufficient to pay the full
         amount due to the holders of Series B Preferred Shares and holders of
         shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company
         that are of equal rank with the Series B Preferred Shares as to
         payments of Preferred Funds (the "PARI PASSU SHARES"), then each holder
         of Series B Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a
         percentage of the Preferred Funds equal to the full amount of Preferred
         Funds payable to such holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance
         with their respective preferences and rights, as a percentage of the
         full amount of Preferred Funds payable to all holders of Series B
         Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. The purchase or redemption by
         the Company of stock of any class in any manner permitted by law, shall
         not for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution
         or winding up of the Company. Neither the consolidation or merger of
         the Company with or into any other Person, nor the sale or transfer by
         the Company of less than substantially all of its assets, shall, for
         the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
         winding up of the Company. No holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall
         be

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         entitled to receive any amounts with respect thereto upon any
         liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company other than the
         amounts provided for herein.

                  (8) Preferred Rate. All shares of Common Stock shall be of
         junior rank to all Series B Preferred Shares in respect to the
         preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
         dissolution, and winding up of the Company. The Series B Preferred
         Shares shall be of greater than any Series of Common or Preferred Stock
         hereinafter issued by the Company. Without the prior express written
         consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then
         outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall not hereafter
         authorize or issue additional or other capital stock that is of senior
         or equal rank to the Series B Preferred Shares in respect of the
         preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation,
         dissolution and winding up of the Company. Without the prior express
         written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then
         outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall not hereafter
         authorize or make any amendment to the Company's Articles of
         Incorporation or bylaws, or make any resolution of the board of
         directors with the Georgia Secretary of State containing any
         provisions, which would materially and adversely affect or otherwise
         impair the rights or relative priority of the holders of the Series B
         Preferred Shares relative to the holders of the Common Stock or the
         holders of any other class of capital stock. In the event of the merger
         or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the
         Series B Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers,
         designations, and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall
         result inconsistent therewith.

                  (9) Restriction on Dividends. Other than the distribution of
         the securities of the Company to the Company's shareholders, if any
         Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, without the prior express
         written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then
         outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Company shall not directly
         or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividends or other distributions
         upon any of the Common Stock so long as written notice thereof has been
         given to holders of the Series B Preferred Shares at least 30 days
         prior to the earlier of (a) the record date taken for or (b) the
         payment of any such dividend or other distribution. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, this Section 9 shall not prohibit the Company from declaring
         and paying a dividend in cash with respect to the Common Stock so long
         as the Company: (i) pays simultaneously to each holder of Series B
         Preferred Shares an amount in cash equal to the amount such holder
         would have received had all of such holder's Series B Preferred Shares
         been converted to Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 hereof one
         business day prior to the record date for any such dividend, and (ii)
         after giving effect to the payment of any dividend and any other
         payments required in connection therewith including to the holders of
         the Series B Preferred Shares, the Company has in cash or cash
         equivalents an amount equal to the aggregate of: (A) all of its
         liabilities reflected on its most recently available balance sheet, (B)
         the amount of any indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries since its most recent balance sheet and (C) 120% of the
         amount payable to all holders of any shares of any class of preferred
         stock of the Company assuming a liquidation of the Company as the date
         of its most recently available balance sheet.

                  (10) Vote to Change the Terms of Series B Preferred Shares.
         The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or the
         written consent without a meeting of the holders of not less than a
         majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, shall be
         required for any change to this Amendment or the Company's Articles of
         Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the
         powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred
         Shares.

                  (11) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company
         of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
         or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the
         Series B Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or
         destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the
         Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
         of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and
         deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date;
         provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue
         preferred stock certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests
         the Company to convert such Series B Preferred Shares into Common
         Stock.

                  (12) Withholding Tax Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
         herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Company receives advice
         in writing from its counsel that there is a reasonable basis to believe
         that the Company is required by applicable federal laws or regulations
         and delivers a copy of such written advice to the holders of the Series
         B Preferred Shares so effected, the Company may reasonably condition
         the making of any distribution (as such term is defined under
         applicable federal tax law and regulations) in respect of any Series B
         Preferred Share on the holder of such Series B Preferred Shares
         depositing with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to enable the
         Company to satisfy its withholding tax obligations (the "WITHHOLDING
         TAX") with respect to such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing
         or anything to the contrary, if any holder of the Series B Preferred
         Shares so effected receives advice in writing from its counsel that
         there is a reasonable basis to believe that the Company is not so
         required by applicable federal laws or regulations and delivers a copy
         of such written advice to the Company, the Company shall not be
         permitted to condition the making of any such distribution in respect
         of any Series B Preferred Share on the holder of such Series B
         Preferred Shares depositing with the Company any Withholding Tax with
         respect to such distribution, provided, however, the Company may
         reasonably condition the making of any such distribution in respect of
         any Series B Preferred Share on the holder of such Series B Preferred
         Shares executing and delivering to the Company, at the election of the
         holder, either: (i) if applicable, a properly completed Internal
         Revenue Service Form 4224, or (a) an indemnification agreement in
         reasonably acceptable form, with respect to any federal tax liability,
         penalties and interest that may be imposed upon the Company by the
         Internal Revenue Service as a result of the Company's failure to
         withhold in connection with such distribution to such holder.

                                       IV.

remain in full force and effect.

                                       V.

         Each amendment set forth above was duly approved by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation with shareholder approval in accordance with the
provisions of Section 14-2-821 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code on June
14, 2000.

         In consideration of the agreement by the holders of the Series B

without the prior written consent of the holders representing a majority of the
outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, sell, contact to sell, pledge, grant any
option for the sale of or otherwise dispose or cause the disposition of any
shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"), or an securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
any shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the undersigned shall not need to obtain such written consent with
respect to (1) a transfer (not involving a sale in the public market) of shares
of Common Stock by the undersigned in a bona fide charitable or other donative
transaction or in any estate planning transaction so long as in each case the
transferee of such agreement to holders of the Series B Preferred Shares prior
to effecting any such transfer and (2) a transfer (not involving a sale in the
public market) of shares of Common Stock, if the undersigned is a natural
person, due to the death or disability of the undersigned so long as the
transferee of such shares agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this
agreement and furnishes a copy of such agreement to holders of the Series B
Preferred Shares prior to effecting any such transfer.

         In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and the Company's transfer
agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer or
securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this
agreement.

                                             Very truly yours,

the best knowledge of the Company threatened, against the Company, nor has the

forth in the SEC Documents, no judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or
award has been issued by or, so far as is known by the Company, requested of any
court, arbitrator or governmental agency which would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         Section 4.15 No Misleading or Untrue Communication. The Company, any
Person representing the Company, and, to the knowledge of the Company, any other
Person selling or offering to sell the Put Shares , in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have not made, at any time, any
oral communication in connection with the offer or sale of the same which

possession of, nor has the Company or its agents disclosed to Investor, any
material non-public information that (a) if disclosed, would reasonably be

foregoing restrictions on short sales, the foregoing restrictions shall not
apply in the event that there is a material adverse change with respect to the
Company which is likely to lead to the liquidation or bankruptcy of the Company.

of Right to Make a Put. The Company shall promptly notify Investor upon the
occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a registration statement
or related prospectus in respect of an offering of Registrable Securities: (a)
receipt of any request for additional information by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of
the registration statement for amendments or supplements to the registration
statement or related prospectus; (b) the issuance by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose; (c) receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose; (d) the happening of any event that makes any
statement made in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the
registration statement, related prospectus or documents so that, in the case of
a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or

         Section 6.9 Expectations Regarding Put Notices. Within ten (10) days
after the commencement of each calendar quarter occurring subsequent to the
commencement of the Commitment Period, the Company undertakes to notify Investor
as to its reasonable expectations as to the dollar amount it intends to raise
during such calendar quarter, if any, through the issuance of Put Notices. Such
notification shall constitute only the Company's good faith estimate with
respect to such calendar quarter and shall in no way obligate the Company to
raise such amount during such calendar quarter or otherwise limit its ability to
deliver Put Notices during such calendar quarter. The failure by the Company to
comply with this provision can be cured by the Company's notifying Investor at
any time as to its reasonable expectations with respect to the current calendar
quarter.

after the date hereof, effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or

such shares of stock and/or securities as Investor is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Agreement.

Stock of the Company ("Common Stock Equivalents") in which the effective cost
per share of the Common Stock to the purchaser or acquiror thereof would be less
than the average of the Average Daily Prices for a share of Common Stock for the

                            CONDITIONS TO DELIVERY OF
                      PUT NOTICES AND CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

         Section 7.1 Conditions Precedent to the Obligation of the Company to
Issue and Sell Common Stock. The obligation hereunder of the Company to issue
and sell the Put Shares to Investor incident to each Closing is subject to the
satisfaction, at or before each such Closing, of each of the conditions set
forth below.

                  (a Accuracy of Investor's Representation and Warranties. The

                                       19
<PAGE>   25
representations and warranties of Investor shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each
such Closing as though made at each such time, except for changes which have not
had a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b Performance by Investor. Investor shall have performed,
satisfied and complied in all respects with all covenants, agreements and
conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied
with by Investor at or prior to such Closing.

         Section 7.2 Conditions Precedent to the Right of the Company to Deliver
a Put Notice and the Obligation of Investor to Purchase Put Shares. The right of
the Company to deliver a Put Notice and the obligation of Investor hereunder to
acquire and pay for the Put Shares incident to a Closing is subject to the
satisfaction, on (a) the date of delivery of such Put Notice and (b) the
applicable Closing Date (each a "Condition Satisfaction Date"), of each of the
following conditions:

                  (a)Registration of Registrable Securities with the SEC. As set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall have filed with
the SEC the Initial Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the
Initial Registrable Securities by Investor and such Registration Statement shall
have been declared effective by the SEC prior to the first Put Date. For the
purposes of any Put Notice with respect to the Registrable Securities other than
the Initial Registrable Securities, the Company shall have filed with the SEC a
Registration Statement with respect to the resale of such Registrable Securities
by Investor which shall have been declared effective by the SEC prior to the Put
Date therefor.

                  (b) Effective Registration Statement. As set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, a Registration Statement shall have previously
become effective for the resale by Investor of the Registrable Securities
subject to such Put Notice and such Registration Statement shall remain
effective on each Condition Satisfaction Date and (i) neither the Company nor
Investor shall have received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue
a stop order with respect to such Registration Statement or that the SEC
otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do
so (unless the SEC's concerns have been addressed and Investor is reasonably
satisfied that the SEC no longer is considering or intends to take such action),
and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement or related prospectus shall exist.

                  (c) Accuracy of the Company's Representations and Warranties.
The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in
all material respects as of each Condition Satisfaction Date as though made at
each such time (except for representations and warranties specifically made as
of a particular date) with respect to all periods, and as to all events and
circumstances occurring or existing to and including

                                       20
<PAGE>   26
each Condition Satisfaction Date, except for any conditions which have
temporarily caused any representations or warranties herein to be incorrect and
which have been corrected with no continuing impairment to the Company or
Investor.

                  (d) Performance by the Company. The Company shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior
to each Condition Satisfaction Date.

                  (e) No Injunction. No statute, rule, regulation, executive
order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no proceeding shall have
been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or materially adversely
affecting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (f) Adverse Changes. Since the date of filing of the Company's
most recent SEC Document, no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

                  (g) No Suspension of Trading In or Delisting of Common Stock.
The trading of the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC, the
Principal Market or the NASD and the Common Stock shall have been approved for
listing or quotation on and shall not have been delisted from the Principal
Market.

                  (h) Legal Opinion. The Company shall have caused to be
delivered to Investor, within five (5) Trading Days of the effective date of the
Initial Registration Statement and each subsequent Registration Statement, an
opinion of the Company's legal counsel in the form of Exhibit C hereto,
addressed to Investor.

                  (i) Due Diligence. No dispute between the Company and Investor
shall exist pursuant to Section 7.3 as to the adequacy of the disclosure
contained in any Registration Statement.

                  (j) Ten Percent Limitation. On each Closing Date, the number
of Put Shares then to be purchased by Investor shall not exceed the number of
such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Registrable
Securities then owned by Investor beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by
Investor, would result in Investor owning no more than 9.9% of all of such
Common Stock as would be outstanding on such Closing Date, as determined in
accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7.2(j), in the event that the amount of
Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder is greater on a Closing

                                       21
<PAGE>   27
Date than on the date upon which the Put Notice associated with such Closing
Date is given, the amount of Common Stock outstanding on such Closing Date shall
govern for purposes of determining whether Investor, when aggregating all
purchases of Common Stock made pursuant to this Agreement would own more than
9.9% of the Common Stock following such Closing Date.

                  (k) Minimum Volume and Bid Price. For the ten (10) Trading
Days immediately preceding both the Put Date and the Closing Date, (a) the
aggregate Average Daily Trading Volume for each such ten Trading Day period
shall have equaled or exceeded $500,000 and (b) the average of the Bid Prices
for such ten Trading Day period shall equal or exceed $7.50 (as adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and similar events from and
after the date hereof).

                  (l) No Knowledge. The Company shall have no knowledge of any
event more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration
Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely
than not to occur within the fifteen Trading Days following the Trading Day on
which such Notice is deemed delivered).

                  (m) Trading Cushion. The Trading Cushion shall have elapsed
since the immediately preceding Put Date.

                  (n) Shareholder Vote. The issuance of shares of Common Stock
with respect to the applicable Closing, if any, shall not violate the
shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market.

                  (o) Other. On each Condition Satisfaction Date, Investor shall
have received and been reasonably satisfied with such other certificates and
documents as shall have been reasonably requested by Investor in order for
Investor to confirm the Company's satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
this Section 7.2., including, without limitation, a certificate in substantially
the form and substance of Exhibit D hereto, executed by an executive officer of
the Company and to the effect that all the conditions to such Closing shall have
been satisfied as at the date of each such certificate.

         Section 7.3 Due Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public
Information.

                  (a) The Company shall make available for inspection and review
by Investor, advisors to and representatives of Investor (who may or may not be
affiliated with Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), any
Underwriter, any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or
any blue sky, NASD or other filing, all financial and other records, all SEC
Documents and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and
properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such
review, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
such information reasonably requested by Investor or any such representative,
advisor or Underwriter in connection with such Registration

                                       22
<PAGE>   28
Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other
inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time
to time after the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement for
the sole purpose of enabling Investor and such representatives, advisors and
Underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial
and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such
Registration Statement.

                  (b) Each of the Company, its officers, directors, employees
and agents shall in no event disclose non-public information to Investor,
advisors to or representatives of Investor (including, without limitation, in
connection with the giving of the Adjustment Period Notice pursuant to Section
2.4) unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such
information as being non-public information and provides Investor, such advisors
and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require Investor's advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Investor.

                  (c) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the
Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to any
investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money
managers or to securities analysts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall, as hereinabove provided,
immediately notify the advisors and representatives of Investor and any
Underwriters of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any
obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes
aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not requested of the
Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such
persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in a
Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall be construed
to mean that such persons or entities other than Investor (without the written
consent of Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain
non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent
any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that
based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, any Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material
fact required to be stated in such Registration Statement or necessary to make
the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading.

                                     LEGENDS

         Section 8.1 Legends. Unless otherwise provided below, each certificate
representing Registrable Securities will bear the following legend (the
"Legend"):

                  The securities represented by this certificate have not been
                  registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
                  Act") or qualified under applicable state securities laws.
                  These securities may not be offered, sold, pledged,
                  hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of except
                  pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement and
                  qualification in effect with respect thereto under the
                  Securities Act and under any applicable state securities law,
                  (ii) to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Securities
                  Act, or (iii) an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
                  BioShield Technologies, Inc. that such registration and
                  qualification is not required under applicable federal and
                  state securities laws.

         As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery hereof, the
Company shall issue to the Transfer Agent instructions in substantially the form
of Exhibit E hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from
and after the date thereof or from and after the issuance thereof except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. It is the
intent and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the
Transfer Agent to issue to Investor certificates evidencing shares of Common
Stock incident to a Closing, free of the Legend, without consultation by the
transfer agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for any
further advice or instruction or documentation to the Transfer Agent by or from
the Company or its counsel or Investor; provided that (a) a Registration
Statement shall then be effective, (b) Investor confirms to the Transfer Agent
and the Company that it has or intends to sell such Common Stock to a third
party which is not an affiliate of Investor or the Company and Investor agrees
to redeliver the certificate representing such shares of Common Stock to the
Transfer Agent to add the Legend in the event the Common Stock is not sold, and
(c) if reasonably requested by the transfer agent or the Company, Investor
confirms to the transfer agent and the Company that Investor has complied with
the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act. At any time after
the Effective Date, upon surrender of one or more certificates evidencing Common
Stock that bear the Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the
issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace those surrendered

         Section 8.2 No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No legend
other than the one specified in Section 8.1 has been or shall be placed on the
share certificates representing the Common Stock and no instructions or "stop
transfers orders," so called, "stock transfer restrictions," or other
restrictions have been or shall be given to the Company's transfer agent with
respect thereto other than as expressly set forth in this Article VIII.

         Section 8.3 Investor's Compliance. Nothing in this Article VIII shall
affect in any way Investor's obligations under any agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

         Section 9.2 Indemnification.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investor
and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Person or entity,
if any, who controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, together with the Controlling Persons (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) from and against any Damages,
joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which Investor, its
partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized
agents, and any such Controlling Person becomes subject to, resulting from,
arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of
Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except to the
extent such Damages result primarily from Investor's failure to perform any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or Investor's or its officers,
directors, employees, agents or Controlling Persons negligence, recklessness or
bad faith in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company

subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation,

agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages
are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily from the
Company's failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or the Company's or its officers, directors, employees, agents or
Controlling Persons negligence, recklessness or bad faith in performing its
obligations under this Agreement.

         Section 9.3 Method of Asserting Indemnification Claims. All claims for
indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under Section 9.2
shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

                  (a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which any
person claiming indemnification under any provision of Section 9.2 (an
"Indemnified Party") might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against
or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a person other than a
party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified
Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers
served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party
Claim and for the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification that is being
asserted under any provision of Section 9.2 against any person (the
"Indemnifying Party"), together with the amount or, if not then reasonably
ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third
Party Claim (a "Claim Notice") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with
reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of
the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party
as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days
following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an
Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "Dispute Period") whether the
Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the
Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires,
at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third
Party Claim.

                           (i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires
to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant
to this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all
appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently
prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at
the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the
Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief
other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of
monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in
full pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of
such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery
of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any
motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified
Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its
interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party,
the Indemnified Party will, at the sole

                                       27
<PAGE>   33
cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to
the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying
Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not
control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses
with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a
Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity
under Section 9.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

                           (ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires
to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a), or if the
Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and
diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails
to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which
proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner
and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party
(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such
defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide
reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting
any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has
notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying
Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the
Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is
resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause
(iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and
expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of
the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's
request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in
full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in
connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but
not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party
pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own
costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

                           (iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its
liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under
Section 9.2 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period
whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its
liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the
amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a
liability of the

                                       28
<PAGE>   34
Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying
Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with
respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided,
however, that it the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the
Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be enlisted to institute such legal
action as it deems appropriate.

                  (b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim
under Section 9.2 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a
claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 specifying the nature of and basis for
such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable,
the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an "Indemnity
Notice") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by
any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's
rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates
that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party
notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount
of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party
disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity
Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be
conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and
the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified
Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or
the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution
of such dispute; provided, however, that it the dispute is not resolved within
thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be
enlisted to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  Section 10.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall
be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Georgia without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Each of the
Company and Investor hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States Federal and state courts located in Atlanta, Georgia with respect to any
dispute arising under this Agreement, the agreements entered into in connection
herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

                  Section 10.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company and Investor and their respective
successors and

                                       29
<PAGE>   35
permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights of Investor or the
Company hereunder may be assigned by either party to any other person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the provisions of this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, any transferee of any of the Common
Stock purchased or acquired by Investor hereunder with respect to the Common
Stock held by such person, and (b) Investor's interest in this Agreement may be
assigned at any time, in whole but not in part, to any affiliate of Investor.

                  Section 10.3 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is
intended for the benefit of the Company and Investor and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

                  Section 10.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate
twenty-four (24) months after the commencement of the Commitment Period (unless
extended by the agreement of the Company and Investor); provided, however, that
the provisions of Article VI, VIII, and Sections 10.1, 10.2, and 10.4 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 10.5 Entire Agreement, Amendment; No Waiver. This
Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding
of the Company and Investor with respect to the matters covered herein and
therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the
Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking
with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged
with enforcement.

                  Section 10.6 Fees and Expenses. Each of the Company and
Investor agrees to pay its own expenses in connection with the preparation of
this Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder.

                  Section 10.7 No Brokers. Each of the Company and Investor
represents that other than J.P. Carey Securities, Inc. and Greenfield Capital
Partners, LLC (the Company shall be responsible for the fees of such entity) it
has had no dealings in connection with this transaction with any finder or
broker who will demand payment of any fee or commission from the other party.
The Company on the one hand, and Investor, on the other hand, agree to indemnify
the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to
any persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on account of
services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  Section 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
multiple counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the
Company and Investor and shall be deemed to be an original instrument which
shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts
and all of which together shall

                                       30
<PAGE>   36
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, once executed by a
party, may be delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of
a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the parties so delivering this
Agreement.

                  Section 10.9 Survival; Severability. The representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereto shall survive each
Closing hereunder for a period of one year. In the event that any provision of
this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be
ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to
any party.

                  Section 10.10 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and
perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things,
and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,
instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  Section 10.11 No Strict Construction. The language used in
this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied
against any party.

                  Section 10.12 Equitable Relief. The Company recognizes that in
the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its
obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate
relief to Investor. The Company therefore agrees that Investor shall be entitled
to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages.

                  Section 10.13 Title and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles
used in this Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to
be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Common Stock on any given Trading Day for the purposes of this Agreement shall
be Bloomberg L.P. or any successor thereto. The written mutual consent of
Investor and the Company shall be required to employ any other reporting entity.
