awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   4

                  (x)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;

                  (xi)  to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section
14(b) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise
provided for in the Plan;

                  (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option previously
granted by the Administrator;

                  (xiii) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Options;

                  (xiv) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market
Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the
Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to
be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

                  (xv)  to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan.

            (c)   Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options.

      5.    Eligibility. Options may be granted to Service Providers; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan,
Options may not be granted to Officers and Directors.

      6.    Limitation. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an
Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a
Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the
Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any
time, with or without cause.

      7.    Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
the Board. It shall continue in effect for ten (10) years, unless sooner
terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

      8.    Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement.

      9.    Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

            (a)   Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares
to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator.

            (b)   Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.

                                      -9-

            (c)   Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

                  (i)   cash;

                  (ii)  check;

                  (iii) promissory note;

                  (iv)  other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired
upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date
of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
said Option shall be exercised;

                  (v)   consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

                  (vi)  a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to
the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee's
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or
arrangement;

                  (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or

                  (viii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

      10.   Exercise of Option.

            (a)   Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and
at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and
set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a Share.

            An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by
the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee
or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her
spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the
exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

            Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of
Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

                                     -10-

            (b)   Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death
or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only within
such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement, and only to the
extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the
Option shall remain exercisable for 30 days following the Optionee's
termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to
his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

            (c)   Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise
his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but
in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth
in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option
Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.

            (d)   Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's
estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the
executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the
person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the laws
of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

            (e)   Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

      11.   Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option
transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

      12.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
Asset Sale.

            (a)   Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered
by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be

                                     -11-
<PAGE>   7

proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to
have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be
made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an
Option.

            (b)   Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares
as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.

            (c)   Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent
or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that (i) the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, or (ii) the
Optionee is terminated within the twelve months immediately following such
transaction, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise
the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it
would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested
and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger
or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or
electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a
period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall
terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each Share of Optioned Stock, immediately prior to the merger or sale of
assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock
for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may,
with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock
to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in
fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common
Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

      13.   Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

      14.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>   8

            (a)   Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

            (b)   Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to
exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to options granted
under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

      15.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

            (a)   Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

            (b)   Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of
an Option the Company may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are
being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell
or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.

      16.   Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

      17.   Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

            (a)   Grant of Option. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this
Agreement (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of
Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share
set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject
to Section 14(b) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement,
the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

            (b)   Exercise of Option.

                  (i)   Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during
its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant
and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. (ii)
Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), which shall
state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of
which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the
Optionee and delivered to the Company's Chief Financial Officer. The Exercise
Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to
all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt
by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such
aggregate Exercise Price.

            No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to
such Exercised Shares.

            (c)   Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of
the Optionee:

                  (i)   cash;

                  (ii) check;

                  (iii) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

                  (iv)  surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of
Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, AND (ii) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Exercised Shares.

            (d)   Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be
transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the
Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

<PAGE>   11

            (e)   Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the
term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only
in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

            (f)   Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences
relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

                  (i)   Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular
federal income tax liability upon exercise of an NSO. The Optionee will be
treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax
rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised
Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the
Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to
withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the
applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this
compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the
exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not
delivered at the time of exercise.

                  (ii)  Disposition of Shares. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares
for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be
treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

            (g)   Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated
herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be
modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of Florida.

            (h)   NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING
SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET
FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT
ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO
TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR
WITHOUT CAUSE.

below, you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed

     10.6 INABILITY TO PAY DEBTS. Any Borrower or any Guarantor,  or any general
partner  or  joint  venturer  of any  Borrower  or any  Guarantor  (i)  makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) admits in writing its inability to
pay, or fails to pay,  its debts  generally  as they  become due;  (iii) files a

                                       14
<PAGE>
petition  for  relief  under any  chapter  of the  Bankruptcy  Code or any other
bankruptcy or debtor relief laws,  domestic or foreign, as now or hereinafter in
effect, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator
or similar  official for it or any Collateral or any of its other  property;  or
any such action is commenced against it and it admits, acquiesces in or does not
contest diligently the material  allegations  thereof,  or the action results in
entry of an order  for  relief  against  it,  or it does  not  obtain  permanent
dismissal and discharge  thereof  before the earlier of trial thereon or 60 days
after  commencement  of the  action;  or (iv)  makes a  transfer  or  incurs  an
obligation which is fraudulent under any applicable law as to any creditor.

     10.7  CHANGE  IN  STATUS  OF  BORROWER  OR  GUARANTOR.   The   liquidation,
termination,   dissolution,   or  failure  to  maintain  good  standing  in  any
jurisdiction of any Borrower or any corporate Guarantor.

     If any one or more of the preceding  defaults shall occur,  all or any part
of the  outstanding  principal plus accrued unpaid  interest of the Loan and any
other Obligations of Borrower, or any Guarantor, to Bank, shall at the option of
Bank become due and payable  immediately  without notice to Borrower,  or to any
Guarantor,  which  is  hereby  expressly  waived  by each of  Borrower,  and any
Guarantor,  and Bank shall have no further  obligation (if any) to make advances
under any of the Loan Documents.

     The defaults provided in this Agreement are cumulative and do not limit any
provision for a default or event of default in any other Loan Document.

     11. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence of any Default Condition or
Event of Default,  Bank's obligation to disburse any undisbursed  portion of any
of the Term Loans shall  immediately  cease. Upon the occurrence or existence of
any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, without prejudice to the rights
of Bank to enforce its claims  against any Borrower or any Guarantor for damages
for failure by any  Borrower  or  Guarantor  to fulfill  any of its  obligations
hereunder,  subject  only to prior  receipt  by Bank of  payment  in full of all
Obligations  then  outstanding in a form acceptable to Bank, Bank shall have all
of the rights and remedies  described in Sections 11.1 through 11.2,  inclusive,
and it may  exercise  any  one,  more,  or all of  such  remedies,  in its  sole
discretion, without thereby waiving any of the others.

     11.1 ACCELERATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS.  Bank, at its option, may declare all
of the Obligations to be immediately  due and payable,  whereupon the same shall
become immediately due and payable without presentment,  demand, protest, notice
of  non-payment  or any other notice  required by law relative  thereto,  all of
which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower, anything contained herein to
the contrary notwithstanding and, in connection therewith, if Bank so elects, by
further written notice to such Borrower,  Bank may increase the rate of interest
charged on any Note then  outstanding  for so long  thereafter  as Bank  further
shall elect.

     11.2 FORECLOSURE. Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies available
under  each  of the  Loan  Documents,  or  afforded  by law,  including  without
limitation  the right to resort to any or all of the  Collateral and to exercise
any or all of the rights of a secured  party  pursuant to  applicable  law.  All

                                       15
<PAGE>
rights,  powers,  and  remedies  of Bank in  connection  with  each of the  Loan
Documents  may be  exercised at any time by the Bank and from time to time after
the occurrence of an Event of Default,  are  cumulative  and not exclusive,  and
shall be in addition to any other rights,  powers or remedies provided by law or
equity.

     12. COLLATERALIZATION.

     12.1  CROSS-DEFAULT  PROVISION.  In  addition  to the  events  set forth in
Section 10 of this  Agreement,  it shall  constitute an "Event of Default" under
this  Agreement  should any event occur  under any  instrument,  deed,  security
agreement,  assignment  or  other  agreement  given or made by  Borrower  or any
Guarantor to or with Bank, which would constitute an event of default under such
instrument,   deed,   assignment   or  agreement  or  otherwise   authorize  the
acceleration of any debt owed by Borrower or any Guarantor to Bank.

     12.2 SECURED INDEBTEDNESS.  Borrower, and any Guarantor, hereby acknowledge
and  agree  that  the   indebtedness   evidenced  by  the  Notes  (the  "Secured
Indebtedness")   shall  include,   in  addition  to  the  Notes  and  the  other
indebtedness   described  herein,  all  other   indebtedness,   liabilities  and
obligations  now  owing or which  may  hereafter  be  owing by  Borrower  or any
Guarantor  to Bank,  however,  incurred,  including,  but without  limiting  the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Note, together with any and all extensions,
amendments,  modifications,  consolidations  and renewals thereof in whole or in
part,  (b)  any  indebtedness,  liability  or  obligation  of  Borrower  or  any
Guarantor, to Bank under any loan or other financial arrangement made by Bank or
any  Guarantor  on or  prior  to the  date  hereof  and any and all  extensions,
amendments,  modifications,  consolidations  and renewals thereof in whole or in
part, (c) any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor
to Bank  under any  later or future  advances  made by Bank to  Borrower  or any
Guarantor,   and   any   and   all   extensions,   amendments,    modifications,
consolidations, renewals thereof in whole or in party, (d) any and all future or
additional indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of Borrower or any Guarantor
to Bank whatsoever,  however arising, whether existing as of the date hereof, or
hereafter arising,  whether arising as a loan, lease, line of credit,  letter of
credit, or other type of financing, and whether direct,  indirect,  absolute, or
contingent,  as  maker,  endorser,   guarantor,  surety  or  otherwise,  whether
individually  or jointly  with any other  third  party or  parties,  and whether
evidenced  by,  arising  out of or  relating  to,  a  promissory  note,  bill of
exchange, check, draft, bond, letter of credit, guaranty agreement or otherwise,
and  any  and  all  renewals,  modifications,   amendments,  consolidations  and
extensions  thereof in whole or in part;  and (e) all  obligations  incurred  by
Borrower and Guarantor under any agreement between Borrower and/or Guarantor and
Bank or any  affiliate  of Bank now existing or hereafter  entered  into,  which
provides for an interest rate, currency,  equity, credit or commodity swap, cap,
floor or collar,  spot or forward foreign exchange  transaction,  cross currency
rate swap,  currency option,  any combination of, or option with respect to, any
of the  foregoing  or any  similar  transactions,  for the  purpose  of  hedging
Borrower and/or Guarantor's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, exchange
rates,  currency,  stock,  portfolio  or loan  valuations  or  commodity  prices
(including any such or similar agreement or transaction  entered into by Bank or
any affiliate  thereof in  connection  with any other  agreement or  transaction
between Borrower and/or Guarantor and Bank or any affiliate thereof).

                                       16
<PAGE>
     12.3  CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION  PROVISION.  By the execution and delivery of
this Agreement,  Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Indebtedness
hereunder  shall  also be  secured  by any and all  security  agreements  now or
hereafter executed by Borrower or any Guarantor in favor of Bank.

     12.4 PARTIAL RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.  Bank will release such portions of the
Collateral  (either  Equipment or Property or both, and the descriptions of such
items used in the applicable Loan Documents will be  appropriately  modified) as
such Borrower may request (the "Released  Collateral")  upon the satisfaction of
all of following terms and conditions:

          (a) There  exists no Default  Condition  or Event of Default  and such
     release of Collateral would not cause an Event of Default;

          (b)   Following   the  release  of  the   Released   Collateral,   the
     Loan-to-Value Ratio (as hereinafter  defined) shall not be greater than (i)
     .80 to 1.0 on all Property remaining as Collateral,  and (ii) .65 to 1.0 on
     the business value of the remaining Collateral as determined by the Bank;

          (c) Each Borrower shall deliver such  certifications,  affirmations or
     other  documents  or  agreements  as the Bank  may  reasonably  request  in
     connection with such release; and

          (d) Each Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses in connection  with
     such release,  including but not limited to,  Bank's  reasonable  attorneys
     fees.

     Borrower  and  Guarantor  hereby  acknowledge  and agree  that Bank  hereby
reserves  the right to require  one of the  following  to occur,  in Bank's sole
discretion: (i) that Borrower pay to Bank all proceeds received by Borrower from
the transfer,  sale or other  conveyance of such  Released  Collateral  and Bank
shall  apply the same to  outstanding  sums due  under  the  Loan;  or (ii) that
Borrower  pledge  additional  collateral  to the  Bank  in  substitution  of the
Released  Collateral  provided such replacement  collateral is acceptable to the
Bank  in  its  sole   discretion   based  primarily  upon  the  Bank's  standard
underwriting  criteria,  satisfaction  of the due diligence  requirements of the
Bank, and so long as the replacement  collateral is otherwise  acceptable to the
Bank.

     For the purposes hereof,  "Loan-to-Value  Ratio" means the ratio of (i) all
Obligations  of each  Borrower  to  Bank,  to (ii) the  value of all  Collateral
securing the  Obligations,  as determined by the Bank using the "Income Approach
to Value as to the  Collateral  Location" and the "Overall  Collateral  Position
With Respect to such  Borrower",  as such  methods and formulas are  customarily
applied by the Bank in its credit review process.

     13. MISCELLANEOUS.

                                       17
<PAGE>
     13.1 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS AND NO WAIVER.  Each and every right granted to Bank
under any Loan Document,  or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative of
each other and may be exercised in addition to any and all other rights of Bank;
and no delay in  exercising  any right shall  operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor
shall any single or partial  exercise by Bank of any right preclude any other or
future  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right.  Each Borrower and
Guarantor expressly waives any presentment,  demand,  protest or other notice of
any kind, including but not limited to notice of intent to accelerate and notice
of acceleration. No notice to or demand on any Borrower or Guarantor in any case
shall, of itself, entitle such Borrower or such Guarantor to any other or future
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     13.2 APPLICABLE  LAW. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  and the
rights  and  obligations  of the  parties  hereunder  and  thereunder,  shall be
governed by and  interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia
and applicable United States federal law.

     13.3 DOCUMENTS. All documents, certificates, and other items required under
this  Agreement  to be executed  and/or  delivered  to Bank shall be in form and
content satisfactory to Bank and its counsel.

     13.4 SURVIVAL.  All  representations,  warranties and covenants made herein
shall survive the execution and delivery of all of the Loan Documents. The terms
and  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  continue  in full force and  effect,
notwithstanding  the  payment  of one or more  of the  Notes,  until  all of the
Obligations  have been paid in full and Bank has  terminated  this  Agreement in
writing.

     13.5 NO ASSIGNMENT BY BORROWER.  No assignment  hereof shall be made by any
Borrower or any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Bank.

     13.6  COUNTERPARTS.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  two  or  more
counterparts, each of which when fully executed shall be an original, and all of
said counterparts  taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
agreement.

     13.7 COSTS,  EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY'S FEES. Each Borrower and each Guarantor
shall  pay to Bank  immediately  upon  demand  the full  amount of all costs and
expenses,  including reasonable attorney's fees (to include outside counsel fees
and  all  allocated  costs  of  Bank's  in-house  counsel)  incurred  by Bank in
connection with (a)  negotiation  and  preparation of this  Agreement,  all Loan
Documents,  and Bank's continued  administration hereof; and (b) the enforcement
of Bank's rights and/or the  collection or any amounts which become due the Bank
under any of the Loan  Documents;  and (c) the  prosecution  or  defense  of any
action  in any way  related  to any of the  Loan  Documents,  including  without
limitation any action for declaratory relief.

     13.8 PARTIAL  INVALIDITY.  A  determination  that any provision of any Loan
Document is  unenforceable  or invalid  shall not affect the  enforceability  or
validity of any other provision,  and the determination  that the application of
any provision of any Loan Document to any person or  circumstances is illegal or

                                       18
<PAGE>
unenforceable  shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision
as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

     13.9 NOTICES.  All notices,  requests and demands to or upon the respective
parties  hereto  shall be  deemed to have  been  given or made  when  personally
delivered or deposited in the U.S. Mail,  registered or certified mail,  postage
prepaid,  addressed  as follows or to such  other  address as may be  designated
hereafter in writing by the respective parties hereto:

except in cases where it is expressly  provided herein or by applicable law that
such notice,  demand or request is not effective  until received by the party to
whom it is addressed.

     13.10  AMENDMENT.  No  modification,  consent,  amendment  or waiver of any
provision  of this  Agreement,  nor consent to any  departure by any Borrower or
Guarantor therefrom,  shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by an officer of Bank,  and then shall be effective only in the specified
instance  and for the purpose for which  given.  This  Agreement is binding upon
each Borrower and any Guarantor,  such Borrower's and Guarantor's successors and
assigns, and inures to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns; however,
no  assignment  or  transfer  of any  Borrower's  or any  Guarantor's  rights or

                                       19
<PAGE>
obligations hereunder shall be made or be effective without Bank's prior written
consent nor shall it relieve such Borrower or any  Guarantor of any  obligations
hereunder. There is no third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

     13.11  COMPLIANCE  WITH USURY  LAWS.  All  existing  and future  agreements
regarding  the  Loan(s)  are  hereby  limited  so  that in no  event  (including
prepayment,  default,  demand for payment,  or acceleration)  shall the interest
taken,  reserved,  contracted  for,  charged  or  received  exceed  the  maximum
nonusurious  amount  permitted by  applicable  law (the "Maximum  Amount");  any
document  possibly  to the  contrary  shall be  automatically  reformed  and the
interest payable automatically reduced to the Maximum Amount,  without necessity
of execution of any amendment or new document; if Bank ever receives interest in
an amount which apart from this provision would exceed the Maximum  Amount,  the
excess  shall,  without  penalty,  be applied to principal  in inverse  order of
maturity of installments or be refunded to the payor if the principal is paid in
full; and all interest paid or agreed to be paid shall be spread  throughout the
full term (including extensions) of the debt so that the amount of interest does
not exceed the Maximum Amount.

     13.12  INDEMNIFICATION.  Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall  indemnify,
defend and hold Bank and its  successors  and assigns  harmless from and against
any and  all  claims,  demands,  suits,  losses,  damages,  assessments,  fines,
penalties,  costs or other expenses (including  attorneys' fees and court costs)
arising  from or in any way  related  to  actual  or  threatened  damage  to the
environment,  agency  costs of  investigation,  personal  injury  or  death,  or
property  damage,  due to a release or alleged  release of Hazardous  Materials,
arising from such  Borrower's or any Guarantor's  business  operations or in the
surface or ground water arising from such  Borrower's  business  operations,  or
gaseous  emissions  arising from such  Borrower's  or any  Guarantor's  business
operations or any other  condition  existing or arising from such  Borrower's or
any  Guarantor's  business  operations  resulting  from the use or  existence of
Hazardous  Materials,  whether  such  claim  proves  to be true or  false.  Each
Borrower  and  each  Guarantor  further  agrees  that its  respective  indemnity
obligations  shall  include,  but are not  limited  to,  liability  for  damages
resulting  from the personal  injury or death of an employee of such Borrower or
Guarantor,  regardless  of  whether  such  Borrower  or  Guarantor  has paid the
employee  under the  workers'  compensation  laws of any state or other  similar
federal or state legislation for the protection of employees. The term "property
damage" as used in this paragraph includes, but is not limited to, damage to any
real or personal property of any Borrower,  any Guarantor,  the Bank, and of any
third parties. Each Borrower's and Guarantor's  obligations under this paragraph
shall survive the repayment of the Loan and any deed in lieu of  foreclosure  or
foreclosure of any Deed to Secure Debt, Deed of Trust, or Mortgage  securing the
Loan.

     13.13  INTERPRETATION.  No provision of this  Agreement  shall be construed
against or  interpreted  to the  disadvantage  of any party hereto by a court or
other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being
deemed to have  structured  or  dictated  such  provision.  Notwithstanding  any
provision in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary,  in
the event of any conflict between the terms of this Loan Agreement and the terms
of any of the Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling.

                                       20
<PAGE>
     13.14  NO  ORAL  AGREEMENT.  This  written  agreement  and the  other  Loan
Documents  represent  the final  agreement  between  the  parties and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements
of the Parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

     13.15  ARBITRATION.  (a) This  paragraph  concerns  the  resolution  of any
controversies  or claims between the Borrower and the Bank,  whether  arising in
contract,  tort or by statute,  including  but not limited to  controversies  or
claims  that  arise out of or  relate  to:  (i) this  Agreement  (including  any
renewals,  extensions or  modifications);  or (ii) any document  related to this
Agreement; (collectively a "Claim").

          (b) At the  request of the  Borrower  or the Bank,  any Claim shall be
     resolved by binding  arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration
     Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Act").  The Act will apply even though this
     Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.

          (c) Arbitration  proceedings will be determined in accordance with the
     Act, the rules and  procedures for the  arbitration  of financial  services
     disputes of J.A.M.S./Endispute  or any successor thereof ("J.A.M.S."),  and
     the terms of this paragraph.  In the event of any inconsistency,  the terms
     of this paragraph shall control.

          (d) The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S. and conducted in
     any U. S. state where real or tangible  personal  property  collateral  for
     this credit is located or if there is no such collateral,  in Georgia.  All
     Claims shall be determined  by one  arbitrator;  however,  if Claims exceed
     $5,000,000,  upon the request of any party,  the Claims shall be decided by
     three arbitrators.  All arbitration  hearings shall commence within 90 days
     of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement  and
     the award of the arbitrator(s)  shall be issued within 30 days of the close
     of the hearing.  However, the arbitrator(s),  upon a showing of good cause,
     may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days.
     The arbitrator(s)  shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for
     the award.  The  arbitration  award may be  submitted  to any court  having
     jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.

          (e) The  arbitrator(s)  will have the authority to decide  whether any
     Claim is barred by the  statute of  limitations  and, if so, to dismiss the
     arbitration on that basis.  For purposes of the  application of the statute
     of limitations,  the service on J.A.M.S. under applicable J.A.M.S. rules of
     a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute
     concerning  this  arbitration  provision  or whether a Claim is  arbitrable
     shall be determined by the arbitrator(s).  The arbitrator(s) shall have the
     power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          (f) This  paragraph  does not limit the right of the  Borrower  or the
     Bank to: (i)  exercise  self-help  remedies,  such as but not  limited  to,
     setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial  foreclosure against any real
     or personal  property  collateral;  (iii) exercise any judicial or power of
     sale  rights,  or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an  interim  remedy,
     such as but not  limited  to,  injunctive  relief,  writ of  possession  or
     appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.

                                       21
