                  (i)      contemporaneous with the execution of this Release,
         the AHL Parties, jointly and severally, shall issue in favor of
         Securicor two term loan notes and two subordinated interest advance
         notes as follows: a term loan note in the original principal amount of

<PAGE>

                           (A)      the $10 Million Note and the $10 Million
                  Interest Advance Note shall be delivered to Securicor
                  contemporaneously with the execution of this Release;

                           (B)      the $3 Million Note and the $3 Million
                  Interest Advance Note shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent
                  (as hereinafter defined) contemporaneously with the execution
                  of this Release to be held and released to either Securicor
                  or AHL pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as
                  hereinafter defined);

                           (C)      if the AHL Parties pay the $10 Million Note
                  and the $10 Million Interest Advance Note in their entirety
                  and in cash, including in each case any accrued and unpaid
                  interest thereon, on or before 2:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia
                  time on October 12, 2002 (or the next business day in
                  Atlanta, Georgia and London, England, if such day is not a
                  business day) (the "Early Payment Date"), the Consideration
                  will be reduced by U.S. $3,000,000, plus accrued interest on
                  such amount. Such reduction shall be in consideration for
                  Securicor's having use of the U.S. $10,000,000 sooner than
                  anticipated, for the freeing of Securicor's corporate
                  resources, financial or otherwise, to pursue other
                  opportunities, for the reduction of expenses expected to be
                  incurred by Securicor if the Notes were to remain outstanding
                  at or beyond their respective maturities, and for other good
                  and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which the
                  parties hereto hereby acknowledge. Upon any such prepayment,
                  Securicor will authorize and direct the Escrow Agent to
                  deliver the $3 Million Note and the $3 Million Interest
                  Advance Note to AHL. If AHL does not prepay the $10 Million
                  Note and the $10 Million Interest Advance Note on or before
                  2:00 p.m. Atlanta time on the Early Payment Date, in cash,
                  together with all accrued and unpaid interest

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  thereon, the Escrow Agent will deliver the $3 Million Note
                  and the $3 Million Interest Advance Note to Securicor upon
                  Securicor's request.

                  (ii)     The terms of the Notes are set forth in the Notes
         themselves, dated the date hereof, the forms of which are attached
         hereto as Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4, and those terms are incorporated by
         reference herein. The Notes are subject to that certain Subordination
         Agreement, dated the date hereof, and the form of which is attached
         hereto as Exhibit 5, and those terms are incorporated by reference
         herein.

         3.       SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the obligations of the AHL
Parties contained herein and in the Notes, including, without limitation, the

time.

                  "Settlement Documents" shall mean this Note, the $10 Million
Interest Advance Note, the $3 Million Note, the $3 Million Interest Advance
Note, the Settlement Agreement, the Security Documents and each of the other
agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered by the Makers, or
any of them, in connection with this Note, in each case as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

                  "Solvent" shall mean, as to any Person, that such Person (a)
has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all
business and transactions in which it is about to engage, (b) is able to pay
its debts as they mature and (c) owns property whose fair salable value is
greater than the amount required to pay its debts (including contingent
obligations).

                  "Tax" shall mean and include any present or future tax, levy,
cost or charge of any nature imposed by any government or any authority or
political subdivision thereof, excluding taxes on or measured by the net income
of the Holder imposed by any jurisdiction in which the principal or relevant
office of the Holder is located.

         2.       INTEREST.

                  (A)      Interest shall accrue on the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loan from the date hereof until the Loan is paid in
full at a fixed rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed
over a 360-day year; i.e. 1/360th of a full year's interest shall accrue for
each day the Loan is outstanding) at all times equal to seven percent (7.00%);
provided, that following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, any principal, and to the extent permitted by law, interest owing
hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed as aforesaid) equal
to nine percent (9.00%) (the "Default Rate").

                  (B)      Nothing contained in this Note or in any of the
other Settlement Documents shall be construed to permit the Holder to receive
at any time interest, fees or other charges in excess of the amounts which the
Holder is legally entitled to charge and receive under any law to which such
interest, fees or charges are subject. In no contingency or event whatsoever
shall the compensation payable to the Holder by the Makers, howsoever
characterized or computed, hereunder or under this

                                      23
<PAGE>

Note or under any other Settlement Document, exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law to which such compensation is subject. There is no
intention that the Holder shall contract for, charge or receive compensation in
excess of the highest lawful rate, and, in the event it should be determined
that any excess has been charged or received, then, ipso facto, such rate shall
be reduced to the highest lawful rate so that no amounts shall be charged which
are in excess thereof; and the Holder shall apply such excess against the Loan
then outstanding (with such application being made first against the Loan, to
the extent thereof, and then to any other amounts owing hereunder) and, to the
extent of any amounts remaining thereafter, refund such excess to the Makers or
any other Person legally entitled thereto.

         3.       PAYMENTS.

                  (A)      TIME OF PAYMENT. Each payment by the Makers to
Holder pursuant to this Note shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m. (prevailing
London, England time) on the date due and shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim at its address set forth above. Each such payment shall be in
lawful currency of the United States of America and in cash or immediately
available funds.

                  (B)      TAXES. Each payment made by Makers hereunder shall
either (i) be exempt from, and be made without reduction by reason of, any Tax
or (ii) to the extent that any such payment shall be subject to any Tax, be
accompanied by an additional payment by Makers of such amount as may be
necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder (after deducting all
applicable Taxes) is the same as Holder would have received had such payment
not been subject to such Tax. Upon any payment of Tax by the Makers, the Makers
shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days) furnish to the Holder such tax
receipts, certificates and other evidence of such payment as the Holder may
reasonably request.

                  (C)      BUSINESS DAYS. If the due date of any payment
hereunder would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be
payable on the principal amount of such payment for the period of such
extension.

         4.       REPAYMENT TERMS.

                  (A)      INTEREST. Accrued interest shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for the preceding quarter or
portion thereof, and on the Maturity Date; provided, that any interest payable
at the Default Rate shall be payable on written demand.

                  On each Interest Payment Date, the Makers, jointly and
severally, hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Holder to advance on
behalf of the Makers, and the Holder shall be deemed to have advanced on each
such Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest accrued hereon for the
quarter or portion thereof preceding such Interest Payment Date, unless and to
the extent such interest has otherwise been paid by the Makers in accordance
with the terms hereof.

                                      24
<PAGE>

                  Advances by the Holder under this subsection (a) shall be
evidenced by the $10 Million Interest Advance Note. The Makers acknowledge and
agree that the Holder shall have no obligation to make any advances for any
purpose other than as set forth herein, and shall have no obligation to make
any such Advance during the continuance of any Event of Default or any
obligation to deliver the proceeds of any such advance to any other Person.

                  On the first Interest Payment Date after the Senior Credit
Agreement Refinancing Date, and on each subsequent Interest Payment Date,
notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, the Makers, jointly and severally,
agree to pay all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note. The failure to so
pay such accrued and unpaid interest when due shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder, and the making of any advance by the Holder in accordance
with this subsection 4(a) shall not in any way excuse, waive or cure any such
Event of Default.

                  (B)      PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT SCHEDULE. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Makers shall repay the Loan in two installments,
with the first such installment, in the amount of US$9,000,000, payable on
April 12, 2003, and the second such installment, in an amount equal to the then
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, payable on the Maturity Date.

                  (C)      VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. The Makers shall
have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay the Loan in whole
or in part, without penalty or premium, upon prior written notice; provided
that upon each prepayment the Makers shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount so prepaid to the date of prepayment. Each such prepayment
under this clause (c) shall be applied to the remaining installments of
principal under this Note in the inverse order of their maturity.

                  (D)      MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS PRIOR TO MATURITY. Immediately
following each receipt by the Makers, or any of them, of the proceeds of any
financing transaction (excluding the portion of the net proceeds from any
financing transaction which is used to partially or fully refinance or repay
obligations arising under the Credit Agreement), the Makers shall make a
prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal
to (i) the net proceeds of such financing transaction, times (ii) twenty
percent (20%), times (iii) a ratio, (A) the numerator of which is an amount
equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (B) the
denominator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (1) the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and (2) the then outstanding principal balance of
the indebtedness evidenced by the $3 Million Note. The aggregate maximum amount
that shall be prepaid as a mandatory prepayment under this Note and pursuant to
Section 4(d) of the $3 Million Note is $6,000,000. Each such prepayment under
this clause (d) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining installments of
principal under this Note.

                  (E)      AGREEMENT REGARDING SUBORDINATION. The Makers agree
to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the lenders
party to any credit arrangement that replaces or is substituted for the Senior
Credit Facility that the Makers shall be permitted to pay the principal of and
interest on this Note as and when due.

         5.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each of the Makers represents

                                      25

such Maker, or a default under any agreement, judgment, injunction, order,
decrees or other instrument binding upon or affecting such Maker, (ii) result

actions, at the same or different times:

Holder.

                  (B)      NON-IMPAIRMENT. If any one or more provisions

and the documentation executed pursuant hereto, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and this Note shall otherwise remain in full force

                  (C)      WAIVER. Neither the failure nor any delay on the
part of the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege granted pursuant

                                      34
<PAGE>

                  Advances by the Holder under this subsection (a) shall be
evidenced by the $3 Million Interest Advance Note. The Makers acknowledge and
agree that the Holder shall have no obligation to make any advances for any
purpose other than as set forth herein, and shall have no obligation to make
any such Advance during the continuance of any Event of Default or any
obligation to deliver the proceeds of any such advance to any other Person.

                  On the first Interest Payment Date after the Senior Credit
Agreement Refinancing Date, and on each subsequent Interest Payment Date,
notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, the Makers, jointly and severally,
agree to pay all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note. The failure to so
pay such accrued and unpaid interest when due shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder, and the making of any advance by the Holder in accordance
with this subsection 4(a) shall not in any way excuse, waive or cure any such
Event of Default.

                  (B)      PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT SCHEDULE. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Makers shall repay the then outstanding principal
balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date.

that upon each prepayment the Makers shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount so prepaid to the date of prepayment. Each such prepayment
under this clause (c) shall be applied to the remaining installments of
principal under this Note in the inverse order of their maturity.

                  (D)      MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS PRIOR TO MATURITY. Immediately
following each receipt by the Makers, or any of them, of the proceeds of any
financing transaction (excluding the portion of the net proceeds from any
financing transaction which is used to partially or fully refinance or repay
obligations arising under the Credit Agreement), the Makers shall make a
prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal
to (i) the net proceeds of such financing transaction, times (ii) twenty
percent (20%), times (iii) a ratio, (A) the numerator of which is an amount
equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (B) the
denominator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (1) the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and (2) the then outstanding principal balance of
the indebtedness evidenced by the $10 Million Note. The aggregate maximum
amount that shall be prepaid as a mandatory prepayment under this Note and
pursuant to Section 4(d) of the $10 Million Note is $6,000,000. Each such
prepayment under this clause (d) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining
installments of principal under this Note.

                  (E)      AGREEMENT REGARDING SUBORDINATION. The Makers agree
to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the lenders
party to any credit arrangement that replaces or is substituted for the Senior
Credit Facility that the Makers shall be permitted to pay the principal of and
interest on this Note as and when due.

         WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of April __, 2002 (as the same has been, and as the same

principal amount of approximately Eighty Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($89,300,000); and

         WHEREAS, Subordinator acknowledges that pursuant to certain collateral
documents (collectively, the "Senior Security Documents"; the Credit Agreement
and the Senior Security Documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Senior Debt Documents"), the Borrowers have granted a security interest in
substantially all of their assets (all assets of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries being collectively referred to as the "Collateral") to the
Administrative Agent to secure their obligations owing to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent; and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Settlement and Release Agreement
dated as of April   , 2002 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "Settlement Agreement") among the Subordinator
and the AHL Parties (as hereinafter defined), in consideration of the agreement

Subordinator; and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement,
the Borrowers may not issue the Subordinated Notes or grant a security interest
in the Collateral in favor of the Subordinator without the prior written
consent of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

         WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have required, as a
condition precedent to giving their consent to the issuance of the Subordinated
Notes and to the granting of the liens and security interests securing the
Subordinated Notes, that Subordinator execute this Subordination Agreement
subordinating (a) in right of payment and claim, the indebtedness of the AHL
Parties to Subordinator under the Subordinated Notes to the indebtedness of
Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and (b) subordinating
the liens and security interests in certain of the Collateral in favor of the
Subordinator to the liens and security interests in favor of the Administrative
Agent; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by Subordinator, Subordinator hereby agrees with the
Administrative Agent as follows:

         1.       DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used herein and not
expressly defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms
in the Credit Agreement.

         "AHL Parties" means, collectively, AHL, U.S. Holdings, Argenbright and
AHL Europe Limited.

         "Senior Indebtedness" means all obligations, liabilities, and
indebtedness of Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent arising
pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents
(each as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time), including
without limitation all principal, interest, fees, expenses, reimbursement
claims, indemnity claims, and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities,
whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, outright or
conditionally, whether or not arising or accruing prior to or after the
commencement of any insolvency proceeding, and whether or not constituting an
allowed claim in any insolvency proceeding, together with any and all
indebtedness incurred to refinance or replace any Senior Indebtedness;
provided, however, that the total principal amount of Senior Indebtedness to
which the Subordinated Obligations are subordinated pursuant to this Agreement

                                      62

<PAGE>

shall be limited to no more than (i) $118,000,000, until the total Commitments
and the outstanding principal amount of Loans have been reduced to $80,000,000,
and (ii) $80,000,000 at all times after such reduction.

         "Subordinated Obligations" means all obligations, liabilities, and
indebtedness of the AHL Parties to the Subordinator under, arising from or in
connection with the Subordinated Debt Documents (each as amended, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time), including without limitation all
principal, interest, fees, expenses other claims or indebtedness, due or not
due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, whether now existing or
hereafter arising under or in respect of the Subordinated Debt Documents.
Subordinated Obligations shall expressly exclude any obligations or liabilities
arising in respect of Excluded Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement).

         2.       SUBORDINATION OF DEBT. Except as set forth in Section 4
hereof, Subordinator will not ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive from
the AHL Parties, by setoff or in any other manner, the whole or any part of any
Subordinated Obligations, unless and until all Senior Indebtedness has been
fully paid and the Commitment of each Lender has been terminated.

         3.       SUBROGATION. Except as set forth in Section 4 hereof,
Subordinator also agrees that, regardless of whether the Senior Indebtedness is
secured or unsecured, the Lenders shall be subrogated to Subordinator with
respect to Subordinator's claims against the AHL Parties in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations and Subordinator's rights, liens and security
interests, if any, in the Collateral and other assets (if any) and the proceeds
thereof until all of the Senior Indebtedness of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries to the Lenders shall have been paid and fully satisfied.

         4.       PERMITTED TRANSACTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness has not
matured or been accelerated, and (ii) no AHL Party is the subject of a
bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding, (a) the AHL Parties may make, and
Subordinator may accept and enforce (other than by recourse to the lien and
security interests granted to Subordinator in Collateral pursuant to the
Subordinated Debt Documents), payments of principal and interest on the
Subordinated Notes (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory
prepayments) to the extent and in an amount not exceeding twenty percent (20%)
of the first $30,000,000 of net cash proceeds received by the AHL Parties, or
any of them, from any equity issuance or other financing transaction (excluding
the portion of the net proceeds from any financing transaction which proceeds
are used to partially or fully refinance or repay obligations arising under the
Credit Agreement), with such mandatory prepayment(s) to be applied pro rata to
the remaining scheduled payments of principal owing in respect of the
Subordinated Notes, and (b) the AHL Parties may make, and Subordinator may
accept and enforce (other than by recourse to the lien and security interests
granted to Subordinator in Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Debt
Documents), any and all payments of interest in respect of the Subordinated
Notes, but only to the extent that such interest payments are made exclusively
out of contemporaneous cash advances from the Subordinator to the AHL Parties.

                                      63

<PAGE>

         5.       SECURITY.

                  (a)      Lien Priority. The Subordinator and the
Administrative Agent agree at all times, whether before, after or during the
pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding and
notwithstanding the priorities which would ordinarily result from the order of
granting of any lien or security interest, or the order of filing or recording
of any mortgage or financing statements or any other matter, that the
Administrative Agent's liens and security interests in the Collateral shall
constitute a first priority lien on and security interest in such Collateral
and the Subordinator's liens and security interests in such Collateral shall
constitute a second priority lien and security interest.

                  (b)      Enforcement. Subordinator agrees that

                           (i)      it will not take any action to repossess,
         replevy, attach, garnish, levy upon, collect the proceeds of,
         foreclose its liens on or security interests in, sell or otherwise
         dispose of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, whether by judicial
         action, under power of sale, by self-help repossession, by setoff, by
         notification to account obligors of any Borrower or otherwise, unless
         and until all of the Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full and
         all financing arrangements between Lenders and the Administrative
         Agent, on one hand, and Borrowers, on the other hand, have been
         terminated in writing; and

                           (ii)     The Administrative Agent shall have the
         exclusive right to collect, sell, transfer, liquidate or otherwise
         dispose of the Collateral as provided in the Senior Debt Documents in
         the manner deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent without
         regard to Subordinator's liens and security interests therein, and
         Subordinator will not hinder Administrative Agent's actions in
         enforcing its remedies with respect to the Collateral.

                  (c)      Release of Liens and Security Interests.
Subordinator agrees to release (or to subordinate, if requested by the
Administrative Agent) its lien on and security interest in the Collateral, or
on any portion thereof, upon any sale or other disposition thereof if the
Administrative Agent agrees to release (or to subordinate, as applicable) its
lien and/or security interest in such Collateral or if the net cash proceeds of
such sale or disposition are being applied to the payment of the Senior
Indebtedness; provided, however, upon the release of such liens or security
interests, the lien and the security interest granted to the Subordinator
shall, subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
provision of subordination to the Administrative Agent's lien), continue in the
net proceeds of such Collateral if and to the extent such net proceeds are not
applied to the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Senior
Debt Documents. Subordinator hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an
irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver any such release required
of Subordinator hereunder.

                  (d)      Waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, Subordinator hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a
junior secured creditor of the AHL Parties against the Administrative Agent
arising out of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Subordinator hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, any and all rights it may have to: (i) notice of the sale or
other disposition by the Administrative Agent of any

                                      64

<PAGE>

of the Collateral; (ii) require that the Administrative Agent act in a
commercially reasonable manner; (iii) require that the sale or other
disposition of any or all of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent be
commercially reasonable; (iv) object to any non-compliance by the
Administrative Agent with the terms of Part 6 of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, as effect in any jurisdiction, or of any other law applicable
to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of their rights and remedies under
the Senior Debt Documents; (v) require the marshaling of assets of the AHL
Parties or the right to direct the application of any proceeds received from
the Collateral or received in payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness; and
(vi) require that the Administrative Agent first proceed against any security
given for the Senior Indebtedness or against any guarantor of any of the Senior
Indebtedness. The Subordinator hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the
liens and security interests in the Collateral granted by the AHL Parties in
favor of Subordinator are intended solely to permit the Subordinator to protect
and preserve its rights and positions against the AHL Parties vis-a-vis general
unsecured trade creditors of the AHL Parties and that the waivers contained in
this subsection (d) are a material inducement to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to consent to the issuance of the Subordinated Notes and
to the transactions contemplated thereby.

                  (e)      Receipt of Monies by Subordinator. Subordinator
agrees that should it receive any moneys from the sale, liquidation, casualty
or other disposition of, or as a result of, any lien on or security interest in
the Collateral at any time prior to payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness,
it will (unless then otherwise restricted by law) hold the same in trust for
the Administrative Agent and promptly pay over the same to the Administrative
Agent in precisely the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by
Subordinator where necessary), for application on any of the Senior
Indebtedness, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by
Subordinator as the property of the Administrative Agent. In the event of the
failure of Subordinator to make any such endorsement or assignment to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or
employees, is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same.

                  (f)      Limitation on Security Interest. (i) Subordinator
acknowledges and agrees with the Administrative Agent that, if and to the
extent that any Securicor Claim (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) is
reinstated, the maximum amount of obligations of the AHL Parties (including all
payments the Subordinator has received hereafter) secured by the Subordinated
Debt Documents at any time shall not exceed the sum of (1) the amount which
would have been payable under the Subordinated Debt Documents at such time if
the Subordinated Notes had been enforced in accordance with their terms and
such Securicor Claims had not been so reinstated; and (2) any and all costs,
expenses, and other amounts expended or incurred by the Subordinator to pursue
or assert such reinstated Securicor Claims; and (ii) Subordinator further
agrees that (I) no Collateral will secure the Subordinated Obligations unless
such Collateral also secures the Senior Indebtedness, and (II) the Collateral
granted for the benefit of Subordinator pursuant to the Subordinated Debt
Documents shall only secure the Subordinated Obligations (it being understood
that the lien in the Collateral pursuant to the Settlement Documents shall not
apply to any indebtedness or liabilities of the AHL Parties or the Subordinator
except for the Subordinated Obligations).

         6.       SUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS OWED ONLY TO SUBORDINATOR.
Subordinator warrants and represents that Subordinator has not previously
assigned any interest in the Subordinated

                                      65

<PAGE>

Obligations or the Subordinated Notes to any party, that no party owns an
interest in the Subordinated Obligations or the Subordinated Notes other than
Subordinator, and that the entire Subordinated Obligations are owing to the
Subordinator, subject only to the rights of the Lender hereunder.

         7.       PRIORITY ON DISTRIBUTION. In the event of any distribution,
division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by
operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of the
Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or readjustment of the obligations and
indebtedness of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, whether by reason
of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the
readjustment of all or any of the Subordinated Obligations, or the application
of the assets of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to the payment or
liquidation thereof, or the dissolution or other winding up of any Borrower's
or such Subsidiary's business, or upon the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of any Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' assets or of all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary, then, and in any such event, the Lenders shall be entitled to
receive payment in full of any and all of the Senior Indebtedness then owing to
them prior to the payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations,
and any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash,
securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or
with respect to any or all of the Subordinated Obligations shall be paid or
delivered directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders,
for application on any of the Senior Indebtedness owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, due or not due, until such Senior Indebtedness shall
have first been fully paid and satisfied.

         8.       RIGHTS OF SUBORDINATOR, LENDERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN
BANKRUPTCY. In the event any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries becomes a
debtor in any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, the Subordinator
shall have the following rights:

                  (a)      Subject to the Administrative Agent's discretion in
exercising its rights under Section 3, the Subordinator may file one or more
proofs of claim in such bankruptcy with respect to the Subordinated
Obligations, subject to the terms of Section 7 above, and the Subordinator may
appear and be heard on any matter relating to its claim in any bankruptcy
proceeding, but shall not seek to assert rights contrary to the provisions of
this Agreement. The Subordinator irrevocably agrees that it shall not vote in
favor of any plan that would cause the Subordinator to receive any payment
prior to the payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness in cash.

                  (b)      If Subordinator shall fail to file a proof of claim
no sooner than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the time period
within which creditors must file their proofs of claim or take any other action
advisable to preserve or collect its claims against the AHL Parties and their
Subsidiaries (or their representatives) or within thirty (30) days of a request
from the Administrative Agent to take such action, the Subordinator agrees that
the Administrative Agent may file such claim or take such action in
Subordinator's place and stead, and as its attorney-in-fact, and the
Subordinator hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its
attorney-in-fact for such purposes for the term of this Agreement.

                                      66

<PAGE>

                  (c)      Subordinator agrees that the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, or any one of them, may consent to the use of cash collateral
or provide financing to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (under Section 363
or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) on such terms and
conditions and in such amounts as the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, may decide and that, in connection with such cash collateral usage
or such financing, the Borrowers or their subsidiaries (or a trustee appointed
for the estate thereof) may grant to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
liens and security interests upon all assets of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of
all Senior Indebtedness (whether such Senior Indebtedness arises prior to the
filing of the petition for relief or arises thereafter); and (ii) shall be
superior in priority to the liens and security interests held by Subordinator.
Subordinator agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other
disposition of any assets of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (or any
portion thereof) free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims of
Subordinator under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of
the Bankruptcy Code if the Administrative Agent has consented to such sale or
disposition of such assets. The Subordinator agrees not to assert any right it
may have to "adequate protection" of its interest in such security in any
insolvency proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic
stay lifted with respect to such security, without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent. The Subordinator waives any claim it may now or
hereafter have arising out of the Administrative Agent's or the Banks'
election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code,
of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any
borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code by Borrower, as debtor in possession. The Subordinator agrees not to
initiate or prosecute or encourage any other person to initiate or prosecute
any claim, action or other proceeding (i) challenging the enforceability of any
Senior Indebtedness, (ii) challenging the enforceability of any lien or
security interest of the Administrative Agent or (iii) asserting any claims
which the Borrower or its subsidiaries may hold with respect to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may vote the
claims of the Subordinator in connection with any plan of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries in any insolvency proceeding.

         9.       PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY SUBORDINATOR. Except as provided in
Section 4 hereof, should any payment or distribution or security or instrument
or proceeds thereof be received by Subordinator upon or with respect to the
Subordinated Obligations prior to the satisfaction of all of the Senior
Indebtedness owing to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, Subordinator
shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to
the Administrative Agent in precisely the form received (except for endorsement
or assignment by Subordinator where necessary), for application on any of the
Senior Indebtedness, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be
held in trust by the Subordinator as the property of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders. In the event of the failure of the Subordinator to make any
such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent or any of its respective officers or employees, is hereby irrevocably
authorized to make the same.

         10.      INSTRUMENT LEGEND. Any instruments evidencing any of the
Subordinated Obligations, or any portion thereof, including, without
limitation, the Subordinated Notes, will, on the

                                      67

<PAGE>

hereunder, unless the same shall be in writing signed by the Administrative
Agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the
specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the Lenders

Party relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to

and keep Secured Party harmless from and against all expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of
any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability
whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral,
arising out of a breach by Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out
of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in
favor of, such obligor or its successors from Grantor, except in the case of
Secured Party, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable

shall not be enforceable against Secured Party.

SECURED PARTY, WITHOUT DEMAND OF PERFORMANCE OR OTHER DEMAND, ADVERTISEMENT OR
NOTICE OF ANY KIND (EXCEPT THE NOTICE SPECIFIED BELOW OF TIME AND PLACE OF
PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SALE) TO OR UPON GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON (ALL AND EACH OF
WHICH DEMANDS, ADVERTISEMENTS AND NOTICES ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE UCC AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAW), MAY FORTHWITH
ENTER UPON THE PREMISES OF GRANTOR WHERE ANY COLLATERAL IS LOCATED THROUGH
SELF-HELP, WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS, WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING A FINAL JUDGMENT
OR GIVING GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEARING ON
SECURED PARTY'S CLAIM OR ACTION AND MAY COLLECT, RECEIVE, ASSEMBLE, PROCESS,
APPROPRIATE AND REALIZE UPON THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY PART THEREOF, AND MAY
FORTHWITH SELL, LEASE, LICENSE, ASSIGN, GIVE AN OPTION OR OPTIONS TO PURCHASE,

LAW, UPON ANY SUCH PRIVATE SALE OR SALES, TO PURCHASE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
SECURED PARTY, THE WHOLE OR ANY PART OF SAID COLLATERAL SO SOLD, FREE OF ANY

SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO HOLD OR USE THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY PART

PARTY. SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO GRANTOR TO MAINTAIN OR
PRESERVE THE RIGHTS OF GRANTOR AS AGAINST THIRD PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY
COLLATERAL WHILE SUCH COLLATERAL IS IN THE POSSESSION OF SECURED PARTY. SECURED

TAKE POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL AND TO ENFORCE ANY OF SECURED PARTY'S
REMEDIES, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH APPOINTMENT WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING AS

COLLECTION, RECOVERY, RECEIPT, APPROPRIATION, REALIZATION OR SALE TO THE
OBLIGATIONS AS SECURED PARTY DEEMS APPROPRIATE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, AND ONLY
AFTER SO PAYING OVER SUCH NET PROCEEDS, AND AFTER THE PAYMENT BY SECURED PARTY
OF ANY OTHER AMOUNT REQUIRED BY ANY PROVISION OF LAW, NEED SECURED PARTY

APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, AND DEMANDS AGAINST SECURED
PARTY ARISING OUT OF THE REPOSSESSION, RETENTION OR SALE OF THE COLLATERAL
EXCEPT SUCH AS ARISE SOLELY OUT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT
OF SECURED PARTY AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

TAKE PLACE IS REASONABLE NOTIFICATION OF SUCH MATTERS. GRANTOR SHALL REMAIN
LIABLE FOR ANY DEFICIENCY IF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE
COLLATERAL ARE INSUFFICIENT TO PAY ALL OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEYS'
FEES OR OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY SECURED PARTY TO COLLECT SUCH DEFICIENCY.

         3.(C)    EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, GRANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST OR ANY NOTICE (TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT OR ANY COLLATERAL.

         4.(D)    TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW IMPOSES DUTIES ON SECURED
PARTY TO EXERCISE REMEDIES IN A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER, GRANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS NOT COMMERCIALLY UNREASONABLE FOR SECURED
PARTY (A) TO FAIL TO INCUR EXPENSES REASONABLY DEEMED SIGNIFICANT BY SECURED
PARTY TO PREPARE COLLATERAL FOR DISPOSITION OR OTHERWISE TO COMPLETE RAW
MATERIAL OR WORK IN PROCESS INTO FINISHED GOODS OR OTHER FINISHED PRODUCTS FOR
DISPOSITION, (B) TO FAIL TO OBTAIN THIRD PARTY CONSENTS FOR ACCESS TO
COLLATERAL TO BE DISPOSED OF, OR TO OBTAIN OR, IF NOT REQUIRED BY OTHER LAW, TO
FAIL TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENTAL OR THIRD PARTY CONSENTS FOR THE COLLECTION OR
DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL TO BE COLLECTED OR DISPOSED OF, (C) TO FAIL TO
EXERCISE COLLECTION REMEDIES AGAINST ACCOUNT DEBTORS OR OTHER PERSONS OBLIGATED
ON COLLATERAL OR TO REMOVE LIENS ON OR ANY ADVERSE CLAIMS AGAINST COLLATERAL,

COLLATERAL IS OF A SPECIALIZED NATURE, (F) TO CONTACT OTHER PERSONS, WHETHER OR
NOT IN THE SAME BUSINESS AS GRANTOR, FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST IN ACQUIRING
ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SUCH COLLATERAL, (G) TO HIRE ONE OR MORE PROFESSIONAL
AUCTIONEERS TO ASSIST IN THE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, WHETHER OR NOT THE
COLLATERAL IS OF A SPECIALIZED NATURE, (H) TO DISPOSE OF COLLATERAL BY
UTILIZING INTERNET SITES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE AUCTION OF ASSETS OF THE TYPES
INCLUDED IN THE COLLATERAL OR THAT HAVE THE REASONABLE CAPACITY OF DOING SO, OR
THAT MATCH BUYERS AND SELLERS OF ASSETS, (I) TO DISPOSE OF ASSETS IN WHOLESALE
RATHER THAN RETAIL MARKETS, (J) TO DISCLAIM DISPOSITION WARRANTIES, SUCH AS
TITLE, POSSESSION OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, (K) TO PURCHASE INSURANCE OR CREDIT
ENHANCEMENTS TO INSURE SECURED PARTY AGAINST RISKS OF LOSS, COLLECTION OR

DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL OR TO PROVIDE TO SECURED PARTY A GUARANTEED RETURN
FROM THE COLLECTION OR DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, OR (L) TO THE EXTENT DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SECURED PARTY, TO OBTAIN THE SERVICES OF OTHER BROKERS,
INVESTMENT BANKERS, CONSULTANTS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS TO ASSIST SECURED PARTY
IN THE COLLECTION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 17(D) IS TO PROVIDE NON-EXHAUSTIVE INDICATIONS
OF WHAT ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS BY SECURED PARTY WOULD NOT BE COMMERCIALLY
UNREASONABLE IN SECURED PARTY'S EXERCISE OF REMEDIES AGAINST THE COLLATERAL AND
THAT OTHER ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS BY SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED
COMMERCIALLY UNREASONABLE SOLELY ON ACCOUNT OF NOT BEING INDICATED IN THIS
SECTION 17(D). WITHOUT LIMITATION UPON THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS
SECTION 17(D) SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO GRANT ANY RIGHTS TO GRANTOR OR TO IMPOSE
ANY DUTIES ON SECURED PARTY THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED OR IMPOSED BY THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS SECTION 17(D).

JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A WRIT OF POSSESSION ENTITLING
SECURED PARTY, OR THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF SECURED PARTY, TO POSSESSION OF
THE COLLATERAL UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF

XXI.20.  MISCELLANEOUS.

         1.(A)    REINSTATEMENT. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN IN FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT AND CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE SHOULD ANY PETITION BE FILED BY
OR AGAINST GRANTOR FOR LIQUIDATION OR REORGANIZATION, SHOULD GRANTOR BECOME
INSOLVENT OR MAKE AN ASSIGNMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY CREDITOR OR CREDITORS OR
SHOULD A RECEIVER OR TRUSTEE BE APPOINTED FOR ALL OR ANY SIGNIFICANT PART OF
GRANTOR'S ASSETS, AND SHALL CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE OR BE REINSTATED, AS THE
CASE MAY BE, IF AT ANY TIME PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS, OR ANY
PART THEREOF, IS, PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, RESCINDED OR REDUCED IN AMOUNT,
OR MUST OTHERWISE BE RESTORED OR RETURNED BY ANY OBLIGEE OF THE OBLIGATIONS,
WHETHER AS A "VOIDABLE PREFERENCE," "FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE," OR OTHERWISE, ALL
AS THOUGH SUCH PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE HAD NOT BEEN MADE. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY
PAYMENT, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS RESCINDED, REDUCED, RESTORED OR RETURNED, THE
OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE REINSTATED AND DEEMED REDUCED ONLY BY SUCH AMOUNT PAID AND
NOT SO RESCINDED, REDUCED, RESTORED OR RETURNED.

         2.(B)    NOTICES. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, WHENEVER IT IS
PROVIDED HEREIN THAT ANY NOTICE, DEMAND, REQUEST, CONSENT, APPROVAL,

SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR

                                      89

<PAGE>

INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT
OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH
PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT IS TO BE READ, CONSTRUED AND APPLIED TOGETHER WITH THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER AGREEMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS
ENTERED INTO FROM TIME TO TIME IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WHICH, TAKEN TOGETHER,
SET FORTH THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT OF SECURED PARTY AND GRANTOR

ANY ACT, DELAY, OMISSION OR OTHERWISE BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, AND NO WAIVER SHALL BE VALID UNLESS IN WRITING,
SIGNED BY SECURED PARTY AND THEN ONLY TO THE EXTENT THEREIN SET FORTH. A WAIVER
BY SECURED PARTY OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREUNDER ON ANY ONE OCCASION SHALL NOT
BE CONSTRUED AS A BAR TO ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY WHICH SECURED PARTY WOULD
OTHERWISE HAVE HAD ON ANY FUTURE OCCASION. NO FAILURE TO EXERCISE NOR ANY DELAY
IN EXERCISING ON THE PART OF SECURED PARTY, ANY RIGHT, POWER OR PRIVILEGE
HEREUNDER, SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF, NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL
EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT, POWER OR PRIVILEGE HEREUNDER PRECLUDE ANY OTHER OR
FUTURE EXERCISE THEREOF OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, POWER OR PRIVILEGE.
THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER PROVIDED ARE CUMULATIVE AND MAY BE EXERCISED
SINGLY OR CONCURRENTLY, AND ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE OF ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
PROVIDED BY LAW. NONE OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY
BE WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED OR AMENDED EXCEPT BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING,
DULY EXECUTED BY SECURED PARTY AND GRANTOR.

         5.(E)    LIMITATION BY LAW. ALL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND POWERS PROVIDED

EXERCISE THEREOF DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY APPLICABLE PROVISION OF LAW, AND ALL THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT ARE INTENDED TO BE SUBJECT TO ALL
APPLICABLE MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW THAT MAY BE CONTROLLING AND TO BE
LIMITED TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY SO THAT THEY SHALL NOT RENDER THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT INVALID, UNENFORCEABLE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR NOT ENTITLED TO BE
RECORDED, REGISTERED OR FILED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW.

         6.(F)    TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. SUBJECT TO

                                      90

<PAGE>

INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AS TO WHICH NO CLAIM HAS BEEN ASSERTED).

         7.(G)    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL
OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE SUCCESSORS AND
ASSIGNS OF GRANTOR (INCLUDING ANY DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF OF GRANTOR)
AND SHALL, TOGETHER WITH THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF SECURED PARTY HEREUNDER,
INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTY, ALL FUTURE HOLDERS OF ANY INSTRUMENT
EVIDENCING ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
NO SALES OF PARTICIPATIONS, OTHER SALES, ASSIGNMENTS, TRANSFERS OR OTHER
DISPOSITIONS OF ANY AGREEMENT GOVERNING OR INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING THE
OBLIGATIONS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREIN SHALL IN ANY MANNER
AFFECT THE LIEN GRANTED TO SECURED PARTY HEREUNDER. GRANTOR MAY NOT ASSIGN,
SELL, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER ANY INTEREST IN OR OBLIGATION UNDER
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

         8.(H)    COUNTERPARTS. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED IN ANY
NUMBER OF SEPARATE COUNTERPARTS, EACH OF WHICH SHALL COLLECTIVELY AND

BE EXECUTED BY MANUAL SIGNATURE, FACSIMILE OR, IF APPROVED IN WRITING BY
SECURED PARTY, ELECTRONIC MEANS, ALL OF WHICH SHALL BE EQUALLY VALID.

         9.(I)    GOVERNING LAW. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE
OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS
MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA. GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
GEORGIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF
GEORGIA SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT, DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED FROM TIME TO TIME
IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH AGREEMENT, DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT, PROVIDED,
THAT SECURED PARTY AND GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS
MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF SUCH JURISDICTIONS, AND,
PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR
OPERATE TO PRECLUDE SECURED PARTY FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL
ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER
SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN
FAVOR OF SECURED PARTY. GRANTOR EXPRESSLY

                                      91

<PAGE>

SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT
COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT
MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL
SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION
OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS
MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS
SET FORTH IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

         10.(J)   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED
BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT
DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING
SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN SECURED
PARTY AND GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO. THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS MADE IN FURTHERANCE OF THE
AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (L) BELOW.

(k)      ARBITRATION. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Security Agreement shall be submitted to and finally resolved by
arbitration pursuant to Section 16 of the Settlement Agreement.

         11.(L)   SECTION TITLES. THE SECTION TITLES CONTAINED IN THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT ARE AND SHALL BE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVE MEANING OR CONTENT OF ANY KIND
WHATSOEVER AND ARE NOT A PART OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO.

         12.(M)   NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE PARTICIPATED
JOINTLY IN THE NEGOTIATION AND DRAFTING OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT
AN AMBIGUITY OR QUESTION OF INTENT OR INTERPRETATION ARISES, THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS IF DRAFTED JOINTLY BY THE PARTIES HERETO AND NO
PRESUMPTION OR BURDEN OF PROOF SHALL ARISE FAVORING OR

                                      92

<PAGE>

DISFAVORING ANY PARTY BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORSHIP OF ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT.

         13.(N)   ADVICE OF COUNSEL. EACH OF THE PARTIES REPRESENTS TO EACH
OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND,
SPECIFICALLY, THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20(I), (J), AND (K), WITH ITS COUNSEL.

         14.(O)   BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTY. ALL LIENS GRANTED OR CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY SHALL BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTY, AND ALL PROCEEDS OR PAYMENTS
REALIZED FROM COLLATERAL IN ACCORDANCE HEREWITH SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE
OBLIGATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE NOTES OR AS THE SECURED PARTY
MAY OTHERWISE DETERMINE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

                  5.1.     Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of the
Pledged Securities to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 4 hereof will be,
the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of the Pledged
Collateral free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto
except for the Lien created by this Agreement, Liens securing the obligations of
Pledgor under the Senior Credit Facility, and other Liens permitted under the
Senior Credit Facility.

                  5.2.     The Pledged Securities included in the Pledged
Collateral constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Issuer as is determined in accordance with Exhibit A
attached hereto. All of the Pledged Securities have been duly authorized,
validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; and there are no existing
options, warrants or commitments of any kind or nature or any outstanding
securities or other instruments convertible into shares of any class of capital
stock of the Issuer, and no capital stock of the Issuer is held in the treasury
of the Issuer.

                  5.3.     Pledgor has the right and requisite authority to
pledge, assign, transfer, deliver, deposit and set over the Pledged Collateral
to the Secured Party as provided herein, subject to the rights of the Senior
Credit Facility Agent therein.

                  5.4.     None of the Pledged Securities has been issued or
transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure
or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be
subject. Pledgor's execution and delivery of this Agreement and the pledge of
the Pledged Collateral hereunder do not, directly or indirectly, violate or
result in a violation of any such laws.

                  5.5.     None of the Pledged Securities included in the
Pledged Collateral is, as of the date of this Agreement, Margin Stock (as such
term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 207), and Pledgor shall, promptly after
learning thereof, notify the Secured Party of any Pledged Collateral which is or
becomes Margin Stock and execute and deliver in favor of the Secured Party any
and all instruments, documents and agreements (including, but not limited to
Form U-1) necessary to cause the pledge of such Margin Stock to comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations.

                  5.6.     No consent, approval, authorization or other order of
any Person (other than the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility) and no
consent, authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing
with, any governmental departments, commissions, boards, bureaus, agencies or
other instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, is required to be made or obtained
by Pledgor either (a) for the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by
Pledgor or (b) for the exercise by the Secured Party of

                                     - 101 -
<PAGE>

the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be
required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and
sale of securities generally.

                  5.7.     The pledge, and assignment of the Pledged Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement, together with the acknowledgment and agreement of
the Senior Credit Facility Agent that it holds the Pledged Collateral for the
benefit of the Secured Party, creates a valid second priority Lien on and a
second priority perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral pledged by
Pledgor, and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Obligations,
subject to no other Lien other than the Lien securing the obligations under the
Senior Credit Facility Agent and other Liens permitted under the Senior Credit
Facility, but only to the extent such other Liens are junior and subordinated to
the Lien of the Pledgor.

                  5.8.     This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally or by the application of general equity principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

         The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

         6.       Covenants.  Pledgor covenants and agrees that until the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12 hereof:

                  6.1.     Except as provided herein, without the prior written
consent of the Secured Party, Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
or otherwise encumber any of its rights in or to the Pledged Collateral or any
unpaid dividends or other distributions or payments with respect thereto or
grant a Lien in any therein, except as permitted under the Senior Credit
Facility.

                  6.2.     Pledgor will not, subsequent to the date of this
Agreement, cause or, to the extent it is able to do so, permit the Issuer to
issue any shares of capital stock or securities convertible into shares of
capital stock, other than for the purpose of qualifying directors, unless and
except upon first having obtained the prior written consent of the Secured Party
thereto (such consent to be granted or denied in good faith), except as
permitted under or in connection with the Senior Credit Facility.

                  6.3.     Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the
Secured Party from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the
Secured Party the benefits of the Liens in and to the Pledged Collateral
intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of any necessary
or desirable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, which may be filed by
the Secured Party with or without the signature of Pledgor, and will cooperate
with the Secured Party, at Pledgor's expense, in obtaining all necessary
approvals and making all necessary filings under federal or state law in
connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of the Pledged Collateral.

                                     - 102 -
<PAGE>

                  6.4.     Pledgor has and will defend the title to the Pledged
Collateral and the Liens of the Secured Party thereon against the claim of any
Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens.

                  6.5.     Pledgor will, upon obtaining any additional shares of
capital stock of the Issuer, or any Subsidiary of Pledgor that was not
theretofore an "Issuer" hereunder, which are not already Pledged Collateral,
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Secured
Party a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by Pledgor, in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto (a "Pledge Amendment"), in respect of 100% of the additional
Pledged Collateral to confirm the pledge of such additional Pledged Collateral
pursuant to this Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of
Pledgor to execute and deliver any such Pledge Amendment shall not prevent such
additional Pledged Collateral from being subject to the Lien created by this
Pledge Agreement. Pledgor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to attach each
Pledge Amendment to this Pledge Agreement and agrees that: (a) all shares of
stock listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Secured Party shall for
all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Securities hereunder and shall be
included in the Pledged Collateral; and (b) the issuer of any shares of capital
stock listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Secured Party shall for
all purposes hereunder be considered an Issuer.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Senior Credit
Facility remains in existence or any obligations remain outstanding thereunder,
the Pledgor will not be required to comply with this Section 6.5 to the extent
such compliance would result in a violation of the terms of the Senior Credit
Facility or the Subordination Agreement referred to in Section 19 hereof.

                  6.6.     Pledgor will pay all taxes, assessments and charges
levied, assessed or imposed upon the Pledged Collateral owned by it before the
same become delinquent or become liens upon any of the Pledged Collateral except
where such taxes, assessments and charges may be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings.

                  6.7.     Pledgor will not create, grant or suffer to exist any
lien, encumbrance, mortgage, or security interest on any of the Pledged
Collateral except (a) those in favor of the Secured Party, (b) Liens securing
the Pledgor's obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, and (c) other Liens
permitted under the Senior Credit Facility.

         7.       Distributions; Etc.

                  7.1.     Right of Pledgor to Receive Distributions. For so
long as no Event of Default exists, Pledgor shall have the right to receive cash
distributions declared and paid with respect to the Pledged Collateral, to the
extent such distributions are permitted by the Senior Credit Facility. Any and
all stock or liquidating distributions, other distributions in property, return
of capital or other distributions made on or in respect of Pledged Collateral,
whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the
outstanding capital stock of any Issuer or received in exchange for Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation,
acquisition or other exchange of assets to which any Issuer may be a party or
otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral and, if received
by Pledgor, shall be received in trust for benefit of the Secured

                                     - 103 -
<PAGE>

Party, be segregated from the other property and funds of Pledgor, and shall
forthwith be delivered to the Secured Party or, for so long as the Senior Credit
Facility remains in existence or any obligations thereunder remain outstanding,
to the Senior Credit Facility Agent, to be held subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

                  7.2.     Termination of Pledgor's Right to Receive
Distributions. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, all rights
of Pledgor to receive any cash distributions pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured
Party, and the Secured Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to receive
and retain the distributions which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to
receive and retain pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. In such event, Pledgor shall
pay over to the Secured Party any distributions received by it with respect to
the Pledged Collateral and any and all money and other property paid over to or
received by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2
shall be retained by the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral hereunder and/or
shall be applied to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the
provisions hereof.

                  7.3.     Holding Pledged Collateral; Exchanges. The Secured
Party may hold any of the Pledged Collateral, endorsed or assigned in blank, and
during the existence of an Event of Default, may deliver any of the Pledged
Collateral to the issuer thereof for the purpose of making denominational
exchanges or registrations or transfers or for such other reasonable purpose in
furtherance of this Agreement as the Secured Party may in good faith deem
desirable. The Secured Party shall have the right, if necessary to perfect its
security interest, to transfer to or register in the name of the Secured Party
or any of its nominees, any or all of the Pledged Collateral; provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing, until any transfer of beneficial ownership with
respect to the Pledged Collateral pursuant to any exercise of remedies under
Section 8 hereof, Pledgor shall continue to be the beneficial owner of the
Pledged Collateral.

         8.       Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence  and during the  continuance
of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and
remedies:

                  8.1.     Secured Creditor. All of the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State where such rights
and remedies are asserted, or under other applicable law all of which rights and
remedies shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive, to the
extent permitted by law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained
in this Agreement.

                  8.2.     Right of Sale. The Secured Party may, without demand
and without advertisement, notice or legal process of any kind (except as may be
required by law), all of which Pledgor waives, at any time or times (a) apply
any cash distributions received by the Secured Party pursuant to Section 7.2
hereof to the Obligations and (b) if following such application there remains
outstanding any Obligations, sell the remaining Pledged Collateral, or any part
thereof at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities
exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Secured Party
shall deem appropriate in good faith. The Secured Party shall be authorized at
any such sale (if, on the advice of counsel, it deems it advisable to do so) to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing the

                                     - 104 -
<PAGE>

Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the
Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any
claim or right on the part of Pledgor. The proceeds realized from the sale of
any Pledged Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in such manner as the
Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion.

                  8.3.     Notice. In addition thereto, Pledgor further agrees
that in the event that notice is necessary under applicable law, written notice
mailed to Pledgor in the manner specified in Section 16 hereof ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date of the disposition of the Pledged Collateral subject to
the security interest created herein at any such public sale or sale at any
broker's board or on any such securities exchange, or prior to the date after
which private sale or any other disposition of said Pledged Collateral will be
made, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice.

                  8.4.     Securities Act, etc. If, at any time when the Secured
Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the
Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be
sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute
now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction (collectively, the "Securities
Laws"), the Secured Party may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable
requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private
sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8,
and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be
effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event,
the Secured Party in its discretion may, in accordance with applicable
Securities Laws, (a) proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or
part thereof could be or shall have been filed under any applicable Securities
Law, (b) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such
sale, and (c) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree
that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or part
thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8, if
any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public
without registration under applicable Securities Laws at the time of any
proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then the Secured Party shall not be
required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in
its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require
that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to
restrictions (i) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person
permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale, (ii) as to the content of legends
to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in
such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof, (iii) as to the
representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such
sale relating to that Person's access to financial information about Pledgor and
such Person's intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for
investment, for its own account, and not with a view to the distribution
thereof, and (iv) as to such other matters as the Secured Party may, in its good
faith discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale
(notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with
the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights and all applicable Securities Laws.

                                     - 105 -
<PAGE>

                  8.5.     Registration. Pledgor acknowledges that
notwithstanding the legal availability of a private sale or a sale subject to
the restrictions described above in Section 8.4, the Secured Party may, in its
discretion and at its sole expense, elect to register any or all of the Pledged
Collateral under applicable Securities Laws. Pledgor, however, recognizes that
the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof. Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in
prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of
the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registrant
to register such securities for public sale under applicable Securities Laws,
even if Pledgor would agree to do so.

                  8.6.     Waiver of Certain Rights. Pledgor agrees that
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it
will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in
force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the
absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the
possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives
the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Pledgor agrees
that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Secured Party
provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the
Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure
or delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or
remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the
Secured Party with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver
thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party's right to take any action or to
exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice
its rights as against Pledgor in any respect.

                  8.7.     Specific Performance. Pledgor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause
irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each
and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable
against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses
against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that the Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the
agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.

         9.       Power of Attorney; Proxy; Voting.

                  9.1.     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Pledgor irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and
appoints the Secured Party (and all Persons designated by the Secured Party) as
its true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) and the Secured Party, or the
Secured Party's agent, may, without notice to Pledgor, and at such time or times
thereafter as the Secured Party or said agent, in its good faith discretion, may
determine, in the name of Pledgor or the Secured Party: (a) transfer the Pledged
Collateral on the books of the issuer thereof,

                                     - 106 -
<PAGE>

with full power of substitution in the premises; (b) endorse the name of Pledgor
upon any checks, notes, acceptance, money orders, certificates, drafts or other
forms of payment of security that come into the Secured Party's possession to
the extent they constitute Pledged Collateral; and (c) do all acts and things
necessary, in the Secured Party's discretion, to fulfill the obligations of
Pledgor under this Agreement.

                  9.2.     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, the Secured Party, or its nominee, without notice or demand of
any kind to Pledgor, shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise all
voting powers pertaining to any and all of the Pledged Collateral (and to give
written consents in lieu of voting thereon to the extent permitted by applicable
law) and may exercise such power in such manner as the Secured Party, in its
sole discretion, shall determine. THIS PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS
IRREVOCABLE. The exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies
under this Section shall not be deemed a disposition of Pledged Collateral under
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code nor an acceptance by the Secured Party
of any of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any of the Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default exists, Pledgor
shall be entitled to exercise any and all consensual rights pertaining to the
Pledged Collateral owned by it and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in
respect thereof (provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to
permit Pledgor to take any action in violation of this Agreement or any
agreement, document or instrument executed in connection herewith).

         10.      Waiver. No delay on the Secured Party's part in exercising any
power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand
which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by the Secured Party with respect to
any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a
waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Secured Party's right to take any action
or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder,
without notice or demand, or prejudice the Secured Party's rights as against
Pledgor in any respect.

         11.      Assignment. The Secured Party may assign, indorse or transfer
any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, and the holder of
such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

         12.      Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect upon the payment and performance in full of the
Obligations. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Secured Party shall
deliver to Pledgor the Pledged Collateral at the time subject to this Agreement
and then in the Secured Party's possession or control and all instruments of
assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens hereof
and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of Pledgor's obligations
hereunder shall at such time terminate.

         13.      Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should Pledgor become insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee
be appointed for all or any significant part of Pledgor's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or

                                     - 107 -
<PAGE>

must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,
whether as a "voidable preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

         14.      Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be binding upon Pledgor
and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, the Secured Party and its successors and assigns. This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
internal laws in effect in the State of Georgia, and none of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except
in writing duly signed for and on behalf of the Secured Party and Pledgor.

         15.      Severability.  If for any reason any  provision  or
provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or
future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or effect those
portions of this Agreement which are valid.

         16.      Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the
parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or
serve upon any other a communication with respect to this Agreement, each such
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of
Section 14 of the Settlement Agreement.

         17.      Section  Titles.  The  Section  titles  contained  in this
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

         18.      Counterparts.  This  Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, which shall, collectively and separately, constitute one
agreement.

         19.      Subordination. This Stock Pledge Agreement, and the exercise
by the Secured Party of its rights hereunder, are subject to certain terms of
subordination as more fully set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement,
dated April 12, 2002, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, between the Senior Credit Facility Agent and the Secured
Party.

tender, the parties hereto agree that Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all
further duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the filing of any
such legal proceedings shall not deprive Escrow Agent of its compensation
hereunder earned prior to such filing and discharge of Escrow Agent of its
duties hereunder.

performance of its obligations under this Agreement and to secure the obligation

                        LEGAL OPINION OF KING & SPALDING

April 12, 2002

Securicor plc
Sutton Park House
15 Carshalton Road
Sutton, Surrey SMI 4LD
England

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to AHL Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation
("AHL"); Argenbright Holdings Limited, a Georgia corporation ("Holdings"); and
Argenbright, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Argenbright" AHL, Holdings and
Argenbright are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "AHL Parties"), in
connection with the Settlement and Release Agreement, of even date herewith (the
"Settlement Agreement"), by and among Securicor plc, a company organized under
the laws of England & Wales ("Securicor"), and the AHL Parties.

         In our capacity as counsel to the AHL Parties, we have reviewed the
following documents:

         (a)      the Subordinated Term Loan Note, dated the date hereof, in the
original principal amount of $10 Million, executed by the AHL Parties and AHL
Europe Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales ("AHL
Europe"), in favor of Securicor (the "$10 Million Note");

         (b)      the Subordinated Term Loan Note, dated the date hereof, in the
original principal amount of $3 Million, executed by the AHL Parties and AHL
Europe in favor of Securicor (the "$3 Million Note");

         (c)      the Subordinated Interest Advance Note, dated the date hereof
and related to the $10 Million Note, executed by the AHL Parties and AHL Europe
in favor of Securicor (the "$10 Million Interest Advance Note");

         (d)      the Subordinated Interest Advance Note, dated the date hereof
and related to the $3 Million Note, executed by the AHL Parties and AHL Europe
in favor of Securicor (the "$3 Million Interest Advance Note");

         (e)      the Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof,
executed by each of the AHL Parties in favor of Securicor (collectively, the
"Security Agreements");

<PAGE>

         (f)      the Stock Pledge Agreements, dated as of the date hereof,
executed by each of the AHL Parties in favor of Securicor (collectively, the
"Stock Pledge Agreements"); and

         (g)      Uniform Commercial Code financing statements naming each AHL
Party as a debtor and Securicor as secured party (the "Financing Statements")
covering certain assets of the AHL Parties and filed or to be filed with the
Clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.

         The instruments, documents and agreements listed in subparagraphs (a)
through (f) above are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Opinion
Documents."

         We also have reviewed (i) the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
each AHL Party, as amended to date, (ii) a certificate of existence for each of
the AHL Parties, issued by the Secretary of State of Georgia as of a recent
date, copies of each of which have been furnished to you (the "Good Standing
Certificates"), (iii) corporate resolutions of each of the AHL Parties
authorizing the transactions described in the Opinion Documents, and (iv) such
other agreements, corporate records, communications, instruments, certificates
of public officials, documents and records and given consideration to such
matters of law and fact as we have deemed appropriate to render the opinions
expressed herein. As to factual matters, with your permission, we have relied
upon the factual representations made in the Opinion Documents, statements and
other representations of the AHL Parties and their respective officers, and
certificates of public officials, in each case without any independent
investigation.

         Whenever any opinion or confirmation of fact set forth herein is
qualified by the words "to our knowledge", "known to us" or words of similar
import, the quoted words mean the current awareness of lawyers in the primary
lawyer group of factual matters such lawyers recognized as being relevant to the
opinion or confirmation so qualified. "Primary lawyer group" means the lawyer
who signs this opinion letter and, solely as to information relative to an
opinion or confirmation issue, any lawyer in this firm who is responsible for
providing the response covering the particular issue.

         This opinion letter is limited by, and is in accordance with, the
January 1, 1992 edition of the Interpretive Standards applicable to Legal
Opinions to Third Parties in Corporate Transactions adopted by the legal Opinion
Committee of the Corporate and Banking Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia,
which Interpretative Standards are incorporated in this opinion letter by this
reference. Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Interpretive Standards or in the Opinion Documents, as the case may be.

         The opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State of
Georgia and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America.
Furthermore, our opinion in paragraph 9 is limited to Article 8 and Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Georgia (the "Georgia
UCC"), and our opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 are limited to Article 9 of the
Georgia UCC; accordingly, those opinion paragraphs do not address (i) laws of
jurisdictions other than Georgia, and of Georgia except for Article 8 or Article
9, as the case

                                     - 125 -
<PAGE>

may be, of the Georgia UCC and (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article
8 or Article 9, as the case may be, of the Georgia UCC.

         In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed (i) the
legal capacity of all natural persons executing and delivering the Opinion
Documents; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of
the AHL Parties); (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals; (iv) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents
submitted to us as photostatic or certified copies; (v) the due organization,
valid existence and good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
formation of all of the parties to the Opinion Documents other than the AHL
Parties and, to the extent relevant, the due qualification as a foreign
corporation, and the authorization to transact business in the State of Georgia,
of all such parties other than the AHL Parties; (vi) the legal right and power
of all such parties other than the AHL Parties under all applicable laws and
regulations to enter into, execute and deliver such agreements and documents;
(vii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents by
all parties thereto other than the AHL Parties; (viii) the enforceability of all
agreements and documents against all parties thereto other than the AHL Parties
and AHL Europe; and (ix) the compliance by Securicor with all standards of
conduct applicable to it with respect to the Opinion Documents (including,
without limitation, any requirement that Securicor act reasonably, in good
faith, in a commercially reasonable manner or otherwise in compliance with
applicable law). Furthermore, in rendering the opinions set forth herein, we
have assumed, and we express no opinion as to, compliance by Securicor with any
state, federal or other laws or regulations applicable to it or to the legal or
regulatory status or the nature of the business of Securicor.

         We have further assumed that (i) each AHL Party and AHL Europe that is
a party to a Security Agreement has or will have rights in, or the power to
transfer rights in, all "Collateral" as defined in such Security Agreement and
each AHL Party that is a party to a Stock Pledge Agreement has or will have
rights in, or the power to transfer rights in, all "Pledged Securities" as
defined in such Stock Pledge Agreement (such "Collateral" and "Pledged
Securities", collectively, the "Collateral"), (ii) "value" has been given by
Securicor sufficient for purposes of Section 9-203 of the Georgia UCC, (iii) the
description of the Collateral contained in the Security Agreements and the Stock
Pledge Agreements reasonably identifies the collateral intended to be covered
thereby, (iv) the correct legal name of the Securicor is Securicor plc; and (v)
the correct mailing address of Securicor is set forth on the Financing
Statements.

         No opinion is expressed with respect to any of the following:

         (i)      the existence of, or any of the AHL Parties' title to or
rights in, any of the Collateral;

         (ii)     any Collateral that consists of timber to be cut, goods that
are or are to become fixtures, as-extracted collateral, commercial tort claims,
collateral arising from consumer transactions, deposit accounts, electronic
chattel paper, letter of credit rights, investment property (other than the
Pledged Securities), agricultural liens, farm products, manufactured homes,
goods subject to certificates of title, and commodity contracts, in each case as
defined in the Georgia UCC;

                                     - 126 -
<PAGE>

         (iii)    the creation, attachment, perfection or enforcement of any
security interest in any collateral that is subject to an agreement that is, or
purports to be, nonassignable or nontransferrable, or any collateral that may
not be assigned by its terms or under applicable law or regulation, other than
collateral consisting of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, lease
agreements or promissory notes (as such terms are defined in the Georgia UCC) to
the extent provided in Sections 9-406, 9-407 and 9-408 of the Georgia UCC;

         (iv)     the enforceability, as against the government of the United
States of America or any state thereof, of any assignment or security interest
in any collateral constituting accounts or other claims against the government
of the United States of America subject to the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
or against any such state subject to similar laws restricting or prohibiting
assignment of government claims;

         (v)      the priority of any security interest in any Collateral;

         (vi)     the effect of Section 9-315 of the Georgia UCC with respect to
any Collateral consisting of proceeds; and

         (vii)    the effect of any provision of any Opinion Document which is
intended to establish any standard other than a standard set forth in the
Georgia UCC as the measure of the performance by any party thereto of such
party's obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or of the
fulfillment of the duties imposed on any secured party with respect to the
maintenance, disposition or redemption of collateral, accounting for surplus
proceeds of collateral or accepting collateral in discharge of liabilities.

         Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1.       Each of the AHL Parties is a corporation duly organized under
the laws of the State of Georgia and validly existing in the State of Georgia.
Each of the AHL Parties has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Opinion Documents to which it is a party.

         2.       The execution, delivery and performance by each AHL Party of
the Opinion Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action on the part of such AHL Party. The Opinion Documents
to which any AHL Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such
AHL Party.

         3.       The execution, delivery and performance by each AHL Party of
the Opinion Documents to which it is a party will not violate the Articles of
Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents of such AHL Party.

         4.       The execution, delivery and performance by each AHL Party and
AHL Europe of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party will not (a) violate
any Georgia or federal law or regulation; (b) to our knowledge, violate any
order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or
agency to which any AHL party is subject; or (c) result in a breach of

                                     - 127 -
<PAGE>

or constitute (with giving of notice and/or lapse of time, or both) a default
under that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
April 12, 2002, among the AHL Parties, AHL Europe, certain of their affiliates,
the financial institutions party thereto, and Wachovia, as agent for such
financial institutions, as amended or otherwise modified through and including
the date hereof.

         5.       Each of the Opinion Documents constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of each of the AHL Parties and AHL Europe that is a party
thereto, enforceable against such AHL Party and AHL Europe, as the case may be,
in accordance with its terms, except that the validity, binding effect and
enforceability of such Opinion Documents are subject to and limited by:

         (a)      the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, transfer or obligation, and moratorium laws
and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally;

         (b)      general principles of equity (whether asserted in an action at
law or in equity), including concepts of materiality, commercial reasonableness
or conscionability, an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and
rules governing the availability of equitable relief (including specific
performance of any particular provision of the Opinion Documents) which in any
event is subject to the discretion of the court from which such relief may be
sought;

         (c)      applicable laws and judicial decisions of the State of Georgia
that may limit or render unenforceable certain remedial provisions and waivers
of rights contained in the Opinion Documents or that may limit the availability
of certain equitable and specific remedies provided for in the Opinion
Documents, but the inclusion of such provisions or remedies in the Opinion
Documents do not render the Opinion Documents invalid as a whole and the Opinion
Documents contain adequate provisions for the practicable realization of the
rights and benefits intended to be provided to Securicor by the Opinion
Documents, except for the economic consequences, if any, resulting from any
delay; and

         (d)      obligations of good faith under Section 11-1-203 of the
Georgia UCC and obligations as to commercial reasonableness under Sections
11-9-607, 11-9-610, 11-9-626 and 11-9-627 of the Georgia UCC.

         In addition to the foregoing limitations and qualifications, we express
no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of (i)
provisions imposing increased interest rates or late payment charges upon
delinquency in payment or default or providing for liquidated damages, or
premiums on prepayment, acceleration, redemption, cancellation or termination,
to the extent any such provisions are deemed to be penalties or forfeitures,
(ii) any provision of any of the Opinion Documents if and to the extent that
such provision requires or permits, due to default, prepayment, acceleration or
otherwise, the payment of interest, fees or other charges at a rate in excess of
5% per month, or the payment of interest on unpaid interest, (iii) provisions
for the appointment of Securicor as attorney-in-fact or granting to the
Securicor a power of attorney, (iv) provisions that amendments, modifications
and waivers may be affected only in writing, (v) rights of contribution or
indemnity which are violative of public policy, (vi) provisions waiving

                                     - 128 -

trial by jury or providing for binding arbitration, (vii) provisions to the
effect that the determination of a party or a party's designee is conclusive or
that such determination may be made in the sole and absolute discretion of such
party; (viii) provisions that any provision of an agreement is severable, and
(ix) any provision to the effect that a party may exercise a right of setoff.

         6.       No consent or approval of any other party and no consent,
license, approval or authorization of any governmental authority, bureau or
agency of the State of Georgia or the federal government of the United States of
America is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by the AHL Parties and AHL Europe of the Opinion Documents to which they are
party, or the validity and enforceability of the Opinion Documents.

         7.       Each Security Agreement creates in favor of Securicor a valid
security interest in all right, title and interest of the AHL Party or AHL
Europe that is a party to such Security Agreement in and to those items and
types of Collateral described in such Security Agreement in which a security
interest may be created under Article 9 of the Georgia UCC (the "Article 9
Collateral").

         8.       With respect to that portion of the Article 9 Collateral
described in the Security Agreements to which any AHL Party is a party and as to
which a security interest can be perfected under Article 9 of the Georgia UCC by
the filing of a financing statement (the "Georgia Filing Collateral"), upon the
proper filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Clerk of the
Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, such security interest in such Georgia
Filing Collateral will be perfected.

         9.       The provisions of each Stock Pledge Agreement are sufficient
to create in favor of Securicor a valid security interest in all right, title
and interest of the AHL Party or AHL Europe that is a party to such Stock Pledge
Agreement in such Pledged Securities under Articles 8 and 9 of the Georgia UCC.

         We call to your attention that:

                  (a)      pursuant to Section 9-316 of the Georgia UCC,
         perfection of a security interest in the Collateral will terminate one
         year after any transfer of such Collateral by any AHL Party or AHL
         Europe to a person that thereby becomes a debtor and is located in
         another jurisdiction, including without limitation, any merger or
         consolidation of such AHL Party or AHL Europe into another person,
         unless such security interest becomes perfected under the laws of such
         other jurisdiction prior to such termination;

                  (b)      pursuant to Section 9-507(c) of the Georgia UCC,
         perfection of a security interest in the Collateral will terminate as
         to any property acquired by any AHL Party or AHL Europe, or any new
         debtor that becomes bound to any Security Agreement or Stock Pledge
         Agreement under Section 9-203(d) of the Georgia UCC if the name of such
         new debtor is seriously misleading under Sections 9-506 and 9-508 of
         the Georgia UCC, more than four months after the date such AHL Party or
         AHL Europe so changes

                                     - 129 -
<PAGE>

         its name or such new debtor becomes bound to any Security Agreement or
         Stock Pledge Agreement as to make the filed financing statement
         seriously misleading unless an amendment to the financing statement
         which renders the financing statement not seriously misleading is filed
         within four months after the change;

                  (c)      Section 552 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code limits the
         extent to which property acquired after the commencement of a
         proceeding may be subject to a security interest arising from a
         security agreement entered into by the debtor prior to the commencement
         of such proceeding;

                  (d)      under Section 9-515 of the Georgia UCC, the perfected
         security interest of Securicor in the Collateral requires the filing of
         continuation statements within the period of six (6) months prior to
         the expiration of five (5) years from the date of filing of the
         original financing statement; and

                  (e)      a record communicated to the filing office with
         tender of the appropriate filing fee, but which the filing office
         refuses to accept for a reason other than one set forth in Section
         9-516(b) of the Georgia UCC, is not effective against a purchaser of
         the Collateral who gives value in reasonable reliance upon the absence
         of the record from the files.
