Agreement").  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment and
Waiver have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement.

     (2) The Borrower and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit
Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

     SECTION 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement is,
effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3, hereby amended as follows:

     (a) Section 1.01 is hereby amended as follows:

             (i)  The definition of "Captain D's Properties" set forth
        therein is hereby amended by deleting the words "Captain D's
        Properties, LLC" after the word "means" and substituting for such
        words the words "SHN Properties, LLC".

     (b) Section 5.01(m) is amended by deleting the words "for a period of no
less than 2 years" and substituting for such words the words "through and

     SECTION 2. Waiver.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3, the Lenders hereby agree to waive any
Default or Event of Default that has occurred pursuant to Section 5.01(m) as
a result of the Borrower entering into interest rate Hedge Agreements that
extend for a period of less than 2 years.

                                    2

     SECTION 3. Conditions of Effectiveness.  This Amendment and Waiver shall
become effective as of the date first above written when, and only when, the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment and
Waiver executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, as to any of the
Lenders, advice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has
executed this Amendment and Waiver, and the consent attached hereto executed

     (b) The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan

under the Loan Documents, in each case as amended by this Amendment and
Waiver.

     (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment and
Waiver shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under
any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of
the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 5. Costs and Expenses .  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand
all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery and administration, modification and

separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the
same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to

                 greater than the then available balance in such account,
                 such presentation shall be deemed to be a request for a
                 Prime Rate Loan on the date of such presentation in an

                 balance, and such request shall be irrevocable;

                         (C)      unless payment is otherwise made by the
                 Borrower, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid
                 under this Agreement or the Note as interest shall be deemed
                 to be a request for a Prime Rate Loan on the due date in the
                 amount required to pay such interest, and such request shall
                 be irrevocable;

                         (D)      unless payment is otherwise made by the
                 Borrower, the maturity of any Secured Obligation required to
                 be paid shall be deemed to be a request for a Prime Rate
                 Loan on the due date in the amount required to pay such
                 Secured Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable;

         anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Event of
         Default exists the Borrower shall not have the right to request LIBOR
         Loans.

         in writing (including telecopy) and, in the case of any telephonic
         notice, shall be immediately followed by a written confirmation

         to provide written confirmation shall not invalidate any telephonic
         notice and, if such written confirmation differs in any respect from
         the action taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall
         control absent manifest error.

payment of the relevant principal, interest or other Secured Obligation, as

supplier of the Borrower in connection with the purchase of Inventory or a
standby letter of credit issued for the benefit of a beneficiary in
connection with insurance requirements, bonds or similar obligations or for
any other purpose reasonably acceptable to the Lender, and (iv) no Letter of
Credit shall have an initial term longer than one year or an expiration date
later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless such
Letter of Credit is cash collateralized on terms satisfactory to the Lender.

         (b)     The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if and to the
extent the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Lender under any Letter of
Credit Documents, the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and directs the
Lender, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1, to
make payment on its behalf and the amount of any such payment by the Lender
shall constitute a Prime Rate Loan made at the time of such payment.

         (c)     The issuance and negotiation of Letters of Credit shall be
governed by the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), as published in the International Chamber of Commerce Uniform
Customs and Practices, Publication No. 500, or any successor thereto (the
"UCP"), or such other policies and practices as may be followed by the Lender
with respect to similar letters of credit at the time.  To the extent that
the Lender follows any practices or policies with respect to letters of
credit (other than the UCP), the Lender will provide notice of such practices
or policies to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                   ARTICLE 3 - GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

         Section 3.1     Interest.

         (a)     (i)     Prime Rate Loans.  The Borrower will pay interest on
         the unpaid principal amount of each Prime Rate Loan for each day from
         the day such Loan was made until such Loan is paid (whether at
         maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or is converted
         to a Loan of a different Type, at a rate per annum equal to the sum
         of one-half percent (.50%) plus the Prime Rate, payable monthly in
         arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date.

                 (ii)    LIBOR Loans.  The Borrower will pay interest on the
         unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan for the Interest Period
         applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two and
         three-quarters percent (2.75%) plus LIBOR for such Interest Period,
         payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, on the last day of
         such Interest Period, and when such LIBOR Loan is paid (whether at
         maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise).

         (b)     The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Secured Obligation other than a Loan for each day from the day
such Secured Obligation becomes due and payable until such Secured Obligation
is paid at the rate per annum applicable to Prime Rate Loans, payable on
demand.

                                  -18-

         (c)     From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
unpaid principal amount of each Secured Obligation shall bear interest until
paid in full (or, if earlier, until such Event of Default is cured or waived
in writing by the Lender) at a rate per annum equal to the Default Margin
plus the rate otherwise in effect under Section 3.1(a) or (b), payable on
demand.  The interest rate provided for in this Section 3.1(c) shall to the
extent permitted by applicable law apply to and accrue on the amount of any
judgment entered with respect to any Secured Obligation and shall continue to
accrue at such rate during any proceeding described in Section 11.1(g) or
(h).

         (d)     The interest rates provided for in Sections 3.1(a), (b) and
(c) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual
number of days elapsed.

         (e)     It is not intended by the Lender, and nothing contained in
this Agreement or the Note shall be deemed, to establish or require the
payment of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law (the "Maximum Rate").  If, in any month, the Effective
Interest Rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate,
then the Effective Interest Rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate,
and if, in future months, the Effective Interest Rate would otherwise be less
than the Maximum Rate, then the Effective Interest Rate shall remain at the
Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals
the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been
limited by the Maximum Rate.  In this connection, in the event that, upon
payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the total amount of interest paid
or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of
interest which would have been paid or accrued if the Effective Interest Rate
had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, pay to the Lender an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would
have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and
(B) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Effective
Interest Rate, at all times, been in effect, and (ii) the amount of interest
actually paid or accrued under this Agreement.  In the event the Lender
receives, collects or applies as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum
Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
balance of the applicable Secured Obligation, and, if no such principal is
then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the
Borrower.

         Section 3.2     Fees.

         (a)     Unused Line Fee.  In connection with and as consideration for
the Lender's commitment hereunder, subject to the terms hereof, to lend to
the Borrower under the Facility, the Borrower shall pay a fee to the Lender,
from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, in an amount equal to one
half percent (.50%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the
Facility, payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on
the date of any permanent reduction in the Facility.

         (b)     Administration Fee.  For services performed by the Lender in
connection with its continuing administration hereof, the Borrower shall pay
to the Lender a fee of $25,000 per annum, payable annually in advance on the
Effective Date and thereafter on each anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, and continuing so long as any Loan shall remain outstanding or the
Facility shall not have been terminated.

         (c)     Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Lender (i) a Letter of Credit fee equal to a rate per annum equal to 2.75%
with respect to all Letters of Credit based on the average daily aggregate
face amount of all such Letters of Credit from time to time outstanding
during the term of this Agreement; such fees shall be due and payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date, (ii) a facing fee of 0.125% of the
face amount of each Letter of Credit issued on or after the Effective Date,
such fee to be paid on the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and
(iii) without duplication, the Lender's standard fees and charges with
respect to the issuance, amendment, processing, negotiation, renewal, and
extension of letters of credit and drawings thereunder.

         (e)     General.  All fees shall be fully earned by the Lender when
due and payable and, except as otherwise set forth herein, shall not be
subject to refund or rebate.  All fees are for compensation for services and

                                   -19-

are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or a charge for the use of
money.  The fees provided for in Sections 3.2(a) and (c)(i) shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed

         Section 3.3     Notice of Conversion or Continuation of Loans.
Whenever the Borrower desires, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, to
convert an outstanding Loan into a Loan of a different Type provided for in
this Agreement or to continue all or a portion of an outstanding LIBOR Loan
for a subsequent Interest Period, the Borrower shall notify the Lender (which
notice shall be irrevocable) by telephone or in writing (including telecopy)
not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the date one Business Day before
the day on which a proposed conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Prime Rate Loan
is to be effective (which effective date shall be the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan) and two Business Days before
the day on which a proposed conversion of a Prime Rate Loan into, or
continuation of a LIBOR Loan as, a LIBOR Loan is to be effective (and such
effective date of any continuation shall be the last day of the Interest
Period for such LIBOR Loan).  Each such notice (a "Notice of Conversion or
Continuation") shall (a) identify the Loan to be converted or continued,
including the Type thereof, the aggregate outstanding principal balance
thereof and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, (b) specify the effective date of such conversion or continuation,
(c) specify the principal amount of such Loan to be converted or continued
and, if converted, the Type or Types of Loan into which conversion of such
principal amount or specified portions thereof is to be made, and (d) in the
case of any conversion into or continuation as a LIBOR Loan, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, and, in the case of any telephonic notice,
shall be immediately followed by a written confirmation thereof by the
Borrower in a form acceptable to the Lender, provided that the failure to
provide a written confirmation shall not invalidate any telephonic notice
and, if such written confirmation differs in any respect from the action
taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall control absent manifest
error.  In the event the Borrower fails to provide timely notice of the
conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall automatically
convert to a Prime Rate Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Loan.

         Section 3.4.    Conversion or Continuation.  Provided that no Event
of Default exists (but subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and 3.6),
the Borrower may request that all or any part of any outstanding Loan of one
Type (a) be converted into a Loan or Loans of any other Type provided for in
this Agreement, or (b) be continued as a Loan or Loans of the same Type, in
the same aggregate principal amount, on any Business Day (which, in the case
of a conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan, shall be the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan), upon notice (which notice
shall be irrevocable) given in accordance with Section 3.3.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Event of Default
exists (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to convert Loans into, or
continue Loans as, LIBOR Loans and (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be
automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans as of the last day of the then
applicable Interest Period.

         Section 3.5     Duration of Interest Periods; Maximum Number of
LIBOR Loans; Minimum Increments.

         (a)     Subject to the provisions of the definition "Interest
Period", the duration of each Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan
shall be as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion or Continuation.  The Borrower may elect a subsequent Interest
Period to be applicable to any LIBOR Loan by giving a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation with respect to such Loan in accordance with Section 3.3.

         (b)     If the Lender does not receive a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation in accordance with Section 3.3 with respect to the continuation
of a LIBOR Loan within the applicable time limits specified in Section 3.3,
or if, when such notice must be given, an Event of Default exists or such
Type of Loan is not available, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected
to convert such LIBOR Loan in whole into a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of
the Interest Period therefor.

                                   -20-

         (c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not select
an Interest Period that would end, but for the provisions of the definition
"Interest Period," after the Termination Date.

         (d)     In no event shall there be more than five LIBOR Loans
outstanding hereunder at any time.  For the purpose of this subsection (d),
each LIBOR Loan having a distinct Interest Period shall be deemed to be a
separate Loan hereunder.

         (e)     Each LIBOR Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.

         Section 3.6     Changed Circumstances.

         (a)     If the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of (in each case, after the date hereof) any law or regulation
makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts, after the date
hereof, that it is unlawful, for the Lender to perform its obligations
hereunder to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, the Lender shall notify the
Borrower of such event, and the right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Loans
for any subsequent Interest Period or in connection with any subsequent
conversion of any Loan shall be suspended until the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Loans then outstanding shall
be converted to Prime Rate Loans, and the Borrower shall pay all interest
accrued thereon through the date of such conversion; provided, that if the
date of such conversion is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to such LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall also pay any amount due pursuant to
Section 3.7.

         (b)     If the Lender shall, prior to the disbursement of any
requested Loan or the effective date of any conversion or continuation of an
existing Loan to be made or continued as or converted into a LIBOR Loan (each
such requested Loan made and Loan to be converted or continued, a "Pending
Loan"), notify the Borrower that LIBOR will not adequately reflect the cost
to the Lender of making or funding such Pending Loan as a LIBOR Loan or that
the Interbank Offered Rate is not determinable from any interest rate
reporting service of recognized standing, then the right of the Borrower to
select LIBOR Loans for such Pending Loan, any subsequent Loan, or in
connection with any subsequent conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall
be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist,
and each Loan comprising each Pending Loan and each such subsequent Loan
requested to be made, continued or converted shall be made or continued as or
converted into a Prime Rate Loan.

         Section 3.7     Payments Not at End of Interest Period; Failure to
Borrow.  If (a) for any reason any payment of principal with respect to any
LIBOR Loan is made on any day prior to the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Loan, or (b) after having given a Notice of
Borrowing with respect to any Loan to be comprised of LIBOR Loans or a Notice
of Conversion or Continuation with respect to any Loan to be continued as or
converted into a LIBOR Loan, such Loan is not made or is not continued as or
converted into a LIBOR Loan due to the Borrower's failure to borrow or to
fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article 4, the Borrower shall
pay to the Lender, in addition to any other amounts that may be due under
this Agreement, an amount equal to all costs, expenses and losses incurred by
the Lender in connection therewith.

         Section 3.8     Increased Costs and Reduced Returns.  The Borrower
agrees that if any law hereafter in effect or any request, guideline or
directive of any Governmental Authority hereafter made or issued (whether or
not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith
would be unlawful) or the interpretation or administration thereof hereafter
made by any Governmental Authority , shall either (a)(i) impose, affect,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, capital maintenance
or similar requirement against any Loan (other than as reflected in the LIBOR
Reserve Percentage), (ii) impose on the Lender any other condition (other
than as reflected in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage) regarding any Loan, this
Agreement, the Note or the facilities provided hereunder, or (iii) result in
any requirement (other than as reflected in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage)
regarding capital adequacy (including any risk-based capital guidelines)
affecting the Lender being imposed or modified or deemed applicable to the
Lender, or (b) subject the Lender to any taxes on the recording,
registration, notarization or other formalization of the Loans or the Note,
and the result of any event referred to in clause (a) or (b) above shall be
to increase the cost to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining

                                    -21-

any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by the Lender or the
Lender's rate of return on capital with respect to any Loan to a level below
that which the Lender could have achieved but for such imposition,
modification or deemed applicability (taking into consideration the Lender's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender (in
the exercise of its reasonable discretion) to be material, then, upon demand
by the Lender, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender additional
amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased
cost, tax or reduced rate of return.  A certificate of the Lender to the
Borrower claiming compensation under this Section 3.8 shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all parties for all purposes in the absence of
manifest error.  Such certificate shall set forth the nature of the
occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts
to be paid to it hereunder, and the method by which such amounts were
determined.  In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

         Section 3.9     Manner of Payment.  (a)  Each payment (including
prepayments) by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on
the Loans or of any fee or other amounts payable to the Lender under this
Agreement or the Note shall be made not later than 1:30 p.m. on the date
specified for payment under this Agreement (or if such day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) to the Lender at the Lender's Office,
in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any
setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.

         (b)     The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender and
each Affiliate of the Lender to charge any account of the Borrower maintained
with the Lender or such Affiliate with such amounts as may be necessary from
time to time to pay any Secured Obligations which are not paid when due.

         Section 3.10    Statements of Account.  The Lender will account to
the Borrower within 30 days after the end of each calendar month with a
statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement
during such calendar month, and such account rendered by the Lender shall be
deemed an account stated as between the Borrower and the Lender and shall be
deemed final, binding and conclusive unless the Lender is notified by the
Borrower in writing to the contrary within 60 days after the date such
account is delivered to the Borrower, save for manifest error.  Any such
notice shall be deemed an objection only to those items specifically objected
to therein.  Failure of the Lender to render such account shall in no way
affect its rights hereunder.

         Section 3.11    Termination of Agreement; Reduction of Facility.

         (a)     On the Termination Date or upon any date on which the
Borrower shall have elected early termination of this Agreement in accordance
with clause (b) of this Section 3.11, (i) the amount of the Facility shall be
automatically and permanently reduced to zero; (ii) the Borrower shall pay to
the Lender, in same day funds, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
Loans outstanding on such date, together with accrued interest thereon, all
fees payable pursuant to Section 3.2 accrued from the date last paid until
the effective date of termination, any amounts payable to the Lender pursuant
to the other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.2, 12.12 and 12.13, any and all other Secured
Obligations then outstanding, and provide the Lender with an indemnification
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender with respect to
returned and dishonored items and such other matters as the Lender shall
require; (iii) the Borrower shall provide the Lender a stand-by letter of
credit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, securing the
reimbursement obligations that may be owing by the Borrower to the Lender in
respect of any Letters of Credit; and (iv) the Borrower shall provide the
Lender with an indemnification agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Lender with respect to returned and dishonored items and such other
matters as the Lender shall require.

         (b)     Upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to the
Lender, which notice shall be irrevocable, the Borrower may terminate this
Agreement prior to the Termination Date in effect at such time.  On the date
of early termination, in addition to the amounts specified in clause (a) of
this Section 3.11, the Borrower shall pay the Lender an early termination fee
computed by multiplying the amount of the Facility times a percentage, such

                                  -22-

percentage to be: (A) 3.0%, if such termination occurs on or prior to the
first anniversary of the Agreement Date, and (B) 1.0%, if such termination
occurs after the first anniversary of the Agreement Date but on or prior to
the second anniversary of the Agreement Date.  If such termination occurs at
any time thereafter and prior to August 31, 2003, the Borrower shall pay the
Lender an early termination fee equal to $100,000.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any such termination of this Agreement results from a
refinancing of the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under this
Agreement by the Lender or an Affiliate of the Lender, no fee shall be
payable under this clause (b).

         (c)     Upon not less than 45 days prior written notice to the
Lender, which notice shall be irrevocable, the Facility may be permanently
reduced by the Borrower to $25,000,000, provided, that if, immediately after
giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate amount of Loans then
outstanding would exceed an amount equal to the Facility minus the Letter of
Credit Reserve, the Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment of Loans
in the amount of such excess, together with interest thereon and any amounts
owing in respect of such prepayment under Section 3.7.  Notwithstanding such
Facility reduction, if the Borrower shall terminate this Agreement prior to
the Termination Date and within six months of such reduction, any amounts
owing under clause (b) of this Section 3.11 shall be determined as if the
Facility was $30,000,000 as of the date of such termination.

         Section 4.1     Conditions Precedent to Initial Loan.

and as agent for any Affiliate of the Lender all of the Borrower's right,
title and interest in and to, any deposits or other sums at any time credited

that are prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Security Interest, other
than Permitted Liens.

         (b)     The Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all
action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may request, so
as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and rank

an Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, grant any
extension of time for payment of any Receivable or compromise, compound or

partly any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or
discount whatsoever thereon; provided that no such action results in the

of the Collateral or any interest therein, except for sales of Inventory in
the ordinary course of business, for cash or on open account or on terms of
payment ordinarily extended to its customers and except as otherwise
expressly contemplated herein.  The inclusion of "proceeds" of the Collateral

any other sale or other disposition of any part or all of the Collateral.

         (b)     The Borrower shall defend its title in and to the Collateral
and shall defend the Security Interest in the Collateral against the claims

maintain insurance on the Inventory and Equipment against loss or damage by

the Lender shall reasonably specify, in amounts and under policies issued by
insurers reasonably acceptable to the Lender.  All premiums on such insurance
shall be paid by the Borrower and copies of the policies delivered to the
Lender.  The Borrower will not use or permit the Inventory or Equipment to be
used in violation of any applicable law or in any manner which might render
inapplicable any insurance coverage.

         (b)     All insurance policies required under Section 7.9(a) shall

Lender, naming the Lender as loss payee as its interests may appear, and
providing that (i) all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to the Lender,
(ii) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured
or owner of the property described in such policy, and (iii) such policy and
loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at

damaged or destroyed property, or (ii) applied to the payment or prepayment
of the Secured Obligations; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall then exist, and to the extent such insurance proceeds so
received are less than $500,000 in the aggregate during the term of this
Agreement, the Borrower may apply such proceeds at its discretion.

         (d)     The Borrower shall at all times maintain, in addition to the

required by applicable law, including such public liability, products
liability, third party property damage and business interruption insurance as
is consistent with reasonable business practices, and from time to time
deliver to the Lender upon its request a detailed list of the insurance then
in effect, stating the names of the insurance companies, the amounts and
rates of the insurance, the dates of the expiration thereof and the
properties and risks covered thereby.

the Borrower's agents or processors, the Borrower shall notify such agents or
processors of the Security Interest and, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, shall instruct them (and cause them to
acknowledge such instruction) to hold all such Inventory for the account of
the Lender, subject to the instructions of the Lender.

         Section 7.11    Records Relating to Collateral.  (a)  The Borrower

such right shall be within the control of the Borrower, at any time or times
to (a) visit the properties of the Borrower, inspect the Collateral and the

         notice, any Account Debtor or other such obligor shall make payments
         to the Borrower, the Borrower shall hold all such payments it
         receives in trust for the Lender, without commingling the same with
         other funds or property of, or held by, the Borrower and shall
         deliver the same to the Lender or any such agent or designee
         immediately upon receipt by the Borrower in the identical form
         received, together with any necessary endorsements;

                 (ii)    settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
         Account Debtors and other obligors on Receivables for amounts and on
         terms which the Lender considers advisable and in all such cases only
         the net amounts received by the Lender in payment of such amounts,
         after deductions of costs and attorneys' fees, shall constitute
         Collateral, and the Borrower shall have no further right to make any
         such settlements or adjustments or to accept any returns of
         merchandise;

                 (iii)   enter upon any premises on which Inventory or
         Equipment may be located and, without resistance or interference by
         the Borrower, take physical possession of any or all thereof and
         maintain such possession on such premises or move the same or any
         part thereof to such other place or places as the Lender shall
         choose, without being liable to the Borrower on account of any loss,
         damage or depreciation that may occur as a result thereof, so long
         as the Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith;

                 (iv)    require the Borrower to and the Borrower shall,
         without charge to the Lender, assemble the Inventory and Equipment
         and maintain or deliver it into the possession of the Lender or any
         agent or representative of the Lender at such place or places as the
         Lender may designate;

                 (v)     at the expense of the Borrower, cause any of the
         Inventory and Equipment to be placed in a public or field warehouse,
         and the Lender shall not be liable to the Borrower on account of any
         loss, damage or depreciation that may occur as a result thereof, so
         long as the Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith;

                 (vi)    without notice, demand or other process, and without
         payment of any rent or any other charge, enter any of the Borrower's
         premises and, without breach of the peace, until the Lender completes
         the enforcement of its rights in the Collateral, take possession of
         such premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof,
         remain on such premises and use the same and any of the Borrower's
         equipment, for the purpose of (A) completing any work in process,
         preparing any Inventory for disposition and disposing thereof, and
         (B) collecting any Receivable, and the Lender is hereby granted a
         license or sublicense and all other rights as may be necessary,
         appropriate or desirable to use the Intellectual Property in
         connection with the foregoing, and the rights of the Borrower under
         all licenses and franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender's
         benefit (provided, however, that any use of any federally registered
         trademarks as to any goods shall be subject to the control as to the
         quality of such goods of the owner of such trademarks and the
         goodwill of the business symbolized thereby);

                 (vii)   exercise any and all of its rights under any and all
         of the Security Documents;

                                  -45-

                 (viii)  apply any cash Collateral to the payment of the
         Secured Obligations in any order in which the Lender may elect or use
         such cash in connection with the exercise of any of its other rights
         hereunder or under any of the Security Documents;

                 (ix)    establish or cause to be established one or more
         Lockboxes or other arrangement for the deposit of proceeds of
         Receivables, and, in such case, the Borrower shall cause to be
         forwarded to the Lender at the Lender's Office, on a daily basis,
         copies of all checks and other items of payment and deposit slips
         related thereto deposited in such Lockboxes, together with collection
         reports in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender; and

                 (x)     exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured
         party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is applicable) and under
         any other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right,
         without notice except as specified below and with or without taking
         the possession thereof, to sell the Collateral or any part thereof
         in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any location
         chosen by the Lender, for cash, on credit or for future delivery and
         at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may
         deem commercially reasonable.  The Borrower agrees that, to the
         extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days'
         notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or
         the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
         reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner
         or at any other reasonable time shall also constitute reasonable
         notification.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of
         Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The
         Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
         announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
         without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
         so adjourned.

         Section 11.3    Application of Proceeds.  All proceeds from each
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
following an Event of Default shall be applied or paid over as follows:

         (a)     First:  to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such sale or other realization, including attorneys' fees,

         (b)     Second:  to the payment of the Secured Obligations (with the
Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency) in any order which the Lender
may elect,

         (c)     Third:  to the creation of a fund in an amount equal to the
Letter of Credit Reserve, which fund shall be held by the Lender as security
for and applied to the payment of any amounts which may thereafter become due
under the Letter of Credit Facility, and

         (d)     Fourth:  the balance (if any) of such proceeds shall be paid
to the Borrower or, subject to any duty imposed by law or otherwise, to
whomsoever is entitled thereto.

THE BORROWER SHALL REMAIN LIABLE AND WILL PAY, ON DEMAND, ANY DEFICIENCY
REMAINING IN RESPECT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST
THEREON AT A RATE PER ANNUM EQUAL TO THE HIGHEST RATE THEN PAYABLE HEREUNDER
ON SUCH SECURED OBLIGATIONS, WHICH INTEREST SHALL CONSTITUTE PART OF THE
SECURED OBLIGATIONS.

         Section 11.4    Power of Attorney.  In addition to the
authorizations granted to the Lender under Section 7.15 or under any other
provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower hereby
irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints the Lender (and all
Persons designated by the Lender from time to time) as the Borrower's true
and lawful attorney and agent in fact, and following the occurrence and
during the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Lender or any agent
of the Lender may, without notice to the Borrower, and at such time or times
as the Lender or any such agent in its sole discretion may determine, in the
name of the Borrower or the Lender,

                                   -46-

         (a)     demand payment of the Receivables, enforce payment thereof
by legal proceedings or otherwise, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or
renew any or all of the Receivables or any legal proceedings brought to
collect the Receivables, discharge and release the Receivables or any of them
and exercise all of the Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the
collection of Receivables,

         (b)     prepare, file and sign the name of the Borrower on any proof
of claim in bankruptcy or any similar document against any Account Debtor or
any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in
connection with any of the Collateral,

         (c)     endorse the name of the Borrower upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, notice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar
document or agreement relating to the Receivables, the Inventory or any other
Collateral,

         (d)     use the stationery of the Borrower, open the Borrower's mail,

Account Debtors,

         (e)     use the information recorded on or contained in any data
processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the
Receivables, Inventory or other Collateral to which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower has access.

         Section 11.5    Miscellaneous Provisions Concerning Remedies .

         (a)     Rights Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of the Lender
under this Agreement, the Note and each of the Loan Documents shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would
otherwise have.  In exercising such rights and remedies, the Lender may be
selective and no failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of
any other power or right.

         (b)     Waiver of Marshalling.  The Borrower hereby waives any right
to require any marshalling of assets and any similar right.

         (c)     Limitation of Liability.  Nothing contained in this Article
11 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Lender or any agent or designee of
the Lender to make any demand or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claim or
notice or take any action with respect to any Receivable or any other
Collateral or the moneys due or to become due thereunder or in connection
therewith or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior
parties, and neither the Lender nor any of its agents or designees shall have
any liability to the Borrower for actions taken pursuant to this Article 11,
any other provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, so long
as the Lender or such agent or designee shall act reasonably and in good
faith.

         (d)     Appointment of Receiver.  In any action pursuant to this
Article 11, the Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver,
without notice of any kind whatsoever, to take possession of all or any
portion of the Collateral and to exercise such power as the court shall
confer upon such receiver.

         Section 11.6    Trademark License.  The Borrower hereby grants to
the Lender the nonexclusive right and license to use any trademark then used
by the Borrower, for the purposes set forth in Section 11.2(c)(vi) and for
the purpose of enabling the Lender to realize on the Collateral and to permit
any purchaser of any portion of the Collateral through a foreclosure sale or
any other exercise of the Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents to use, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral bearing any
such trademark.  Such right and license is granted free of charge, without
the requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to the

                                  -47-

Borrower or any other Person by the Lender. Except as set forth on Schedule
11.6 attached hereto, the Borrower hereby represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that it presently has, and shall continue to have, the right, without
the approval or consent of others, to grant the license set forth in this
Section 11.6.

                        ARTICLE 12 - MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 12.1    Notices.

         (a)     Method of Communication.  Except as specifically provided in
this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents, all notices and the
communications hereunder and thereunder shall be in writing or by telephone
subsequently confirmed in writing.  Notices in writing shall be delivered
personally or sent by overnight courier service, by certified or registered
mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission and shall be deemed
received, in the case of personal delivery, when delivered, in the case of
overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivery to such
service, in the case of mailing, on the third day after mailing (or, if such
day is a day on which deliveries of mail are not made, on the next succeeding
day on which deliveries of mail are made) and, in the case of facsimile
transmission, upon transmittal.  A telephonic notice to the Lender as
understood by the Lender will be deemed to be the controlling and proper
notice in the event of a discrepancy with or failure to receive a confirming
written notice.

OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE LENDER, ANY
COURT IN WHICH THE LENDER SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND
WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY AND

WHICH THE LENDER MAY HAVE, THE BORROWER CONSENTS THAT, IF THE LENDER FILES A
PETITION FOR AN IMMEDIATE WRIT OF POSSESSION IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTIONS 44-
14-261 AND 44-14-262 OF THE OFFICIAL CODE OF GEORGIA OR UNDER ANY SIMILAR
PROVISION OF APPLICABLE LAW AND THIS WAIVER OR A COPY HEREOF IS ALLEGED IN

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ AND FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER
AND THE EFFECT HEREOF.

         Section 12.7    Reversal of Payments.  To the extent the Borrower
makes a payment or payments to the Lender or the Lender receives any payment
or proceeds of the Collateral for the Borrower's benefit, which payment(s) or
proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, the Lender shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply, reverse and reapply any and all
payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations, and, to the extent of
such payment or proceeds received, the Secured Obligations or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Lender.

         Section 12.8    Injunctive Relief.  The Borrower recognizes that, in
the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove
to be inadequate relief to the Lender; therefore, the Borrower agrees that
the Lender, at the Lender's option, shall be entitled to temporary and
permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving
actual damages.

         Section 12.9    Accounting Matters.  All financial and accounting
calculations, measurements and computations made for any purpose relating to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all computations utilized by
the Borrower to determine whether it is in compliance with any covenant
contained herein, shall, unless there is an express written direction or
consent by the Lender to the contrary, be performed in accordance with GAAP,
as applicable.

         Section 12.10   Assignment; Participation.  All the provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower
may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement.  The
Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or sell participations to one or
more Persons in, all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and
under the Note and, in connection with any such assignment or sale of a
participation, may assign its rights and obligations under the Security
Documents.  So long as there shall not then exist an Event of Default, any
such assignment (but no such sale of a participation) shall be subject to the
prior written consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The Lender may, in connection with any
assignment or proposed assignment or sale or proposed sale of a
participation, disclose to the assignee or proposed assignee or participant
or proposed participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to
the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.

         Section 12.11   Amendments.  Any term, covenant, agreement or
condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended
or waived and any departure therefrom may be consented to if, but only if,
such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Lender and, in
the case of an amendment, by the Borrower.  Unless otherwise specified in
such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.

         Section 12.12   Performance of Borrower's Duties.  The Borrower's
obligations under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be
performed by the Borrower at its sole cost and expense.  If the Borrower
shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done either in the name of the
Lender or in the name and on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Lender so to act.

         Section 12.13   Indemnification.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse
the Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements, incurred and to indemnify and hold the

                                   -51-

Lender harmless from and against all losses suffered by the Lender, other
than losses resulting from the Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, in connection with (a) the exercise by the Lender of any right or
remedy granted to it under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (b)
any claim, and the prosecution or defense thereof, arising out of or in any
way connected with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except in the
case of a dispute between the Borrower and the Lender in which the Borrower
prevails in a final unappealed or unappealable judgment, and (c) the
collection or enforcement of the Secured Obligations or any of them.

         Section 12.14   All Powers Coupled with Interest.  All powers of
attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lender and any Persons
designated by the Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid or
unsatisfied or the Facility has not been terminated.

         Section 12.15   Survival.  Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, (a) until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the
Facility terminated, the Lender shall retain its Security Interest and shall
retain all rights under this Agreement and each of the Security Documents
with respect to the Collateral as fully as though this Agreement had not been
terminated, and (b) the indemnities to which the Lender is entitled under the
provisions of this Article 12 and under any other provision of this Agreement
and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall
protect the Lender against events arising after such termination as well as
before.

         Section 12.16   Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

         Section 12.17   Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Note shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Georgia.

         Section 12.18   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns,
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         Section 12.19   Reproduction of Documents.  This Agreement, each of
the Loan Documents and all documents relating thereto, including, without
limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be
executed, (b) documents received by the Lender, and (c) financial statements,
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to the
Lender, may be reproduced by the Lender by any photographic, photostatic,
microcard, microfilm, miniature photographic or other similar process, and
the Lender may destroy any original document so reproduced.  Each party
hereto stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable laws any such
reproduction shall be as admissible in evidence as the original itself in any
judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original shall be
in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Lender in
the regular course of business), and any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

                                   -52-

         Section 12.20    Funds Transfer Services.

         (a)     The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has made available
to it a description of security procedures regarding funds transfers executed
by the Lender or an affiliate bank at the request of such Borrower (the
"Security Procedures"). The Borrower and the Lender agree that the Security
Procedures are commercially reasonable. The Borrower further acknowledges
that the full scope of the Security Procedures which the Lender or such
affiliate bank offers and strongly recommends for funds transfers is
available only if the Borrower communicates directly with the Lender or such
affiliate bank as applicable in accordance with said procedures.  If the
Borrower attempts to communicate by any other method or otherwise not in
accordance with the Security Procedures, the Lender or such affiliate bank,
as applicable, shall not be required to execute such instructions, but if the
Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, does so, the Borrower will be
deemed to have refused the Security Procedures that the Lender or such
affiliate bank, as applicable, offers and strongly recommends, and the
Borrower will be bound by any funds transfer, whether or not authorized,
which is issued in the Borrower's name and accepted by the Lender or such
affiliate bank, as applicable, in good faith.  The Lender or such affiliate
bank, as applicable, may modify the Security Procedures at such time or times
and in such manner as the Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate to meet prevailing standards of good
banking practice.  By continuing to use the Lender's or such affiliate
bank's, as applicable, wire transfer services after receipt of notice of any
modification of the Security Procedures, the Borrower agrees that the
Security Procedures, as modified, are likewise commercially reasonable.  The
Borrower further agrees to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard the
Security Procedures and any information related thereto.

         (b)     The Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, will
generally use the Fedwire funds transfer system for domestic funds transfers,
and the funds transfer system operated by the Society for Worldwide
International Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) for international funds
transfers.  International funds transfers may also be initiated through the
Clearing House InterBank Payment System (CHIPs) or international cable.
However, the Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, may use any means
and routes that the Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, in its sole
discretion, may consider suitable for the transmission of funds.  Each
payment order, or cancellation thereof, carried out through a funds transfer
system or a clearing house will be governed by all applicable funds transfer
system rules and clearing house rules and clearing arrangements, whether or
not the Lender or such affiliate bank, as applicable, is a member of the
system, clearing house or arrangement and the Borrower acknowledges that the
Lender's or such affiliate bank's, as applicable, right to reverse, adjust,
stop payment or delay posting of an executed payment order is subject to the
laws, regulations, rules, circulars and arrangements described herein.

         Section 12.21   Consent to Advertising and Publicity.  The Borrower
agrees that the Lender may issue and disseminate to the public information
describing in general the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this
Agreement, which information may consist of the name and address of the
Borrower and the amount and a type of the credit facilities provided
hereunder.

         Section 12.22   Final Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are intended by the parties hereto as the final, complete and
exclusive expression of the agreement among them with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
supersede any and all prior oral or written agreements between the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

                                  -53-

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be executed in Atlanta, Georgia by their duly authorized officers in several
counterparts all as of the day and year first written above.
