         Andersen a fee (a "Marketing Assistance Fee" or "MAF").

         of the date that the Adaytum Software was sold.

4.5      Andersen and Adaytum will cooperate to minimize, to the extent legally
         permissible, the tax liabilities related to this Agreement. However,
         the cooperation shall not cause any adverse tax consequences to be
         incurred by either Party that would not have been incurred under the
         terms and conditions as described in this Agreement.

4.6      Adaytum shall pay for all taxes in connection with the licensing of
         Adaytum Software and Services under this Agreement including any sales,
         use, excise, value-added, services, consumption, withholding, invoicing
         and other taxes. Andersen or the applicable Client, as agreed upon
         between such parties pursuant to a separate written agreement, will pay

         Services by Andersen to such Client, including any sales, use, excise,
         value-added, services, consumption, withholding, invoicing and other
         taxes. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other any
         resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or
         out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and
         other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the
         other Party. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify
         the other Party of, and coordinate with such other Party the response
         to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by applicable taxing
         authorities for which such original Party is responsible hereunder.

4.7      Adaytum shall keep accurate and complete records ("RECORDS") of all
         Revenue, including all documents required for the full computation and
         verification of MAFs, for as long as Adaytum is obligated to pay MAFs
         plus twenty-four (24) months. Andersen shall be permitted within ten
         (10) days notice to Adaytum to audit the calculation of MAFs and the
         corresponding Records. If an audit reveals a discrepancy equal to or
         greater than five-percent (5%) of the difference between MAFs paid to
         Andersen and MAFs actually due to Andersen, Adaytum agrees to reimburse
         Andersen for its reasonable costs for the audit.

         reasonable effort to obtain a protective order against such disclosure,
         and (ii) any such disclosure shall be limited in scope, nature and

6.7      If either Party receives requests for proposals or other information
         from its current or prospective Clients along with permission to
         disclose this information to the other Party, then such request for

         of any claim that any of the Adaytum Software, including any version,
         update or enhancement of any of the Adaytum Software created or
         otherwise provided by Adaytum to Andersen, its Affiliates or a Client
         hereunder infringes a copyright, patent, trade secret or any other
         proprietary right. However, Adaytum shall have no liability to
         indemnify Andersen with respect to any claim that any of the Adaytum
         Software infringes a copyright, patent, trade secret or any other
         proprietary right caused by modification of the Adaytum Software by
         Andersen without Adaytum's consent, where the Adaytum Software without
         the modification would otherwise not be infringing. The foregoing
         indemnity is conditioned upon (i) Andersen providing to Adaytum prompt
         written notice of such claim, (ii) Andersen tendering to Adaytum sole
         control over the defense and settlement of such claim, and (iii)
         Andersen providing

                                       7
<PAGE>

         to Adaytum all information and assistance reasonably requested by
         Adaytum in connection with the defense and settlement of such claim, at
         Adaytum's sole expense. In no event, however, may there be a settlement
         of any such claim without the written consent of Andersen.

9.2      Andersen agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Adaytum, and any
         employee thereof, from any and all liabilities, damages, costs and
         expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Adaytum as a result of
         any claim that any of the Adaytum Software infringes a copyright,
         patent, trade secret or any other proprietary right caused by
         modification of the Adaytum Software by Andersen without Adaytum's
         consent, where the Adaytum Software without the modification would
         otherwise not be infringing. The foregoing indemnity is conditioned
         upon (i) Adaytum providing to Andersen prompt written notice of such
         claim, (ii) Adaytum tendering to Andersen sole control over the defense
         and settlement of such claim, and (iii) Adaytum providing to Andersen
         all information and assistance reasonably requested by Andersen in
         connection with the defense and settlement of such claim, at Andersen's
         sole expense. In no event, however, may there be a settlement of any
         such claim without the written consent of Adaytum.

         written notice specifying the default, which notice shall become
         effective ninety (90) days after the delivery of notice to the
         defaulting Party, unless during such 90-day period the default shall
         have been corrected by the defaulting Party to the non-defaulting
         Party's reasonable satisfaction.

10.3     Andersen shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement
         by providing written notice to Adaytum in the event (i) all or portions
         of the ownership rights in the Adaytum Software are transferred or
         assigned by Adaytum to a third party, (ii) Adaytum discontinues its
         Adaytum Software, (iii) Adaytum transfers or assigns a material right
         or obligation under this Agreement, or (iv) a change of control of
         Adaytum.

10.4     Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon giving
         notice to the other Party if the other Party is adjudicated as
         bankrupt, becomes insolvent, suffers permanent or temporary
         court-appointed receivership of substantially all of its property,
         makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or suffers the
         filing of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition that is not
         dismissed within forty-five (45) days after filing.

10.5     Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall
         immediately:

         10.5.1   Cease acting in any manner that would suggest a continuing
                  relationship with the other Party, except as may be provided
                  in any surviving separate agreement;

         10.5.2   Discontinue any and all use of marks authorized for use under
                  this Agreement, except as necessary for either Party to
                  fulfill its obligations to a Client; and

         10.5.3   Return to the other Party or destroy the other Party's
                  Confidential Information in its possession unless this
                  Agreement expressly provides otherwise.

<PAGE>

10.6     Upon either the expiration of the term of this Agreement or the
         termination of this Agreement for any reason other than a breach by
         Andersen, Adaytum shall pay to Andersen the MAF generated during the
         Term of this Agreement, as defined in Section 4.2, for a period of
         *** from the date of the initial license of the Adaytum Software,
         whichever is later.

10.7     Upon termination of this Agreement by Adaytum due to breach by
         Andersen, Andersen shall be entitled to the portion of the MAF earned
         through the date of termination.

10.8     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, each Party may
         continue to exercise the rights and licenses granted hereunder to the
         extent necessary to allow such Party to fulfill its obligations under
         existing engagement agreements with Clients or included in any proposal
         to a Client that was outstanding at the time of termination. Andersen
         specifically shall retain the right to use the Adaytum Software for as
         long as necessary to meet any obligations or services that Andersen has
         undertaken. Andersen shall also continue to have the right to use and
         access the Adaytum Software (specifically including Documentation and
         related technical information and support) to allow Andersen to fulfill
         its obligations to Clients to whom a proposal has been submitted or is
         in the process of being submitted.

SECTION 11 - EXPORT

Both Parties shall comply with all applicable export laws, restrictions of the
United States or comparable foreign agency or authority. Neither Party shall
export, or allow the export or re-export of any Adaytum Software in violation of
any such laws, restrictions or regulations.

SECTION 12 - MISCELLANEOUS

12.1     The Parties agree that in the event of any dispute or alleged breach
         under this Agreement, they will work together in good faith first, to
         resolve the matter internally and then, if necessary, to use a mutually
         agreed alternative dispute resolution technique prior to resorting to
         litigation in accordance with Exhibit A.

12.2     This Agreement shall be subject to existing relationships between each
         Party and its partners, Clients and service providers. Neither Party
         will be prohibited from honoring any contractual obligations that
         pre-exist this Agreement to the extent in conflict with the terms of
         this Agreement.

12.3     Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this
         Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party;
         provided, however, that Andersen may cause this Agreement, in part or
         whole, to be performed by an Affiliate and may assign its rights and
         obligations hereunder to an Affiliate.

12.4     Except as the Parties may expressly agree otherwise in writing, neither
         Party shall solicit, offer work to, employ, or contract with, whether
         as a partner, employee or independent contractor, directly or
         indirectly, any of the other Party's Personnel during their
         participation in the activities addressed by this Agreement or during
         the twenty-four (24) months after such participation ends. For purposes
         of this Section 16.4, "Personnel" includes any individual or company a
         Party employs as a partner, employee or independent contractor and with
         which a Party comes into direct contact in the course of the activities
         under this Agreement. Each party will use reasonable efforts to notify
         the other if an employment contact is made by a current employee of the
         other party.

         of computers, computer-related equipment, hardware or software.

12.6     Except in relation to Andersen's and Adaytum's indemnification
         obligations hereunder, neither Party will be liable to the other for
         any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive
         loss, damages or expenses (including lost profits or savings).
         Andersen's liability for direct damages shall not exceed ***.

12.7     If any provision of this Agreement is found to be prohibited by or
         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 the
         Agreement.

12.8     Sections 1, 4, 5.6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shall extend beyond the
         expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall survive and
         remain in effect beyond any expiration or termination. In addition, any
         payment obligations shall survive the term of this Agreement.

12.9     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
         the laws of Illinois, without giving effect to conflict of law rules.

12.10    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
         which shall be considered an original counterpart, and shall become a
         binding agreement when each Party shall have executed one counterpart.

12.11    Captions and headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience
         only and shall not be deemed to explain, limit or amplify the
         provisions hereof.

12.12    Any notice or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement
         shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been received either
         when delivered personally to the Party for whom intended, or five (5)
         days following the deposit of the same into the United States mail
         (certified mail, return receipt requested, or first class postage
         prepaid), addressed to such Party at the address set forth below:

                  For Adaytum:

12.13    Either Party may designate a different address by notice to the other
         given in accordance herewith.

12.14    Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant either Andersen
         or Adaytum the right to make any commitment or obligation of any kind
         for or on behalf of the other Party without prior written consent of
         the other Party. Neither Party shall have the power to control the
         activities and operations of, or contractually bind or commit the other
         Party. The status of the Parties with respect to one another is that of
         independent contractors. Neither Party shall act as, or be deemed to
         be, the other Party's agent or a partner for any purpose, and the
         employees of one Party shall not be deemed the employees of the other
         Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed
         as creating a joint venture or partnership between Adaytum and
         Andersen.

12.15    Neither Party is a distributor or agent for the products or services of
         the other Party. Each Party's products and services shall be available
         to prospective Clients only through a separate agreement between that
         Party and its Clients, unless that Party has given its prior written
         consent for the other Party to make the commitment on their behalf. In
         any case, neither Party is responsible for the quality of products or
         services provided by the other Party, unless the Parties otherwise
         agree in writing with respect to specific Client engagements, pursuant
         to which one Party is the prime contractor and the other Party is the
         subcontractor. Each Party is solely responsible for establishing the
         prices for its own products and services.

12.16    Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Andersen or Affiliates from
         marketing, demonstrating or teaming with providers of other products,
         irrespective of the similarity of such products to the Adaytum
         Software, or from developing, marketing, demonstrating, installing or
         using competing products or entering into any arrangements with any
         third party, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in an
         addendum. If any addendum makes changes to this Section 12.16, the
         change shall only apply to the addendum in which such a change is
         included. If one of its Clients selects an alternative or competing
         solution, Andersen will not be restricted from installing or
         implementing such alternative or competing solution.

12.17    Andersen shall have the right to market consulting services to
         Adaytum's Clients independent of the sale of the Adaytum Software, and
         Adaytum shall have the right to market products to Andersen's Clients
         independent of the sale of the Adaytum Software. Each Party shall be
         free to negotiate prices and rates separately with its Clients.

12.18    This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with
         regard to the subject matter contained herein. Adaytum and Andersen
         may, by mutual agreement in writing, amend, modify and supplement this
         Agreement. The failure of any Party hereto to enforce at any time any
         provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of
         such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement
         or any part hereof or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce
         each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this
         Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or
         subsequent breach

12.19    Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, each Party will be
         responsible for its own costs and expenses associated with activities
         under this Agreement.

                         ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

                                     General

The Parties shall attempt to resolve any questions or dispute that arises
regarding or under this Agreement by prompt good faith discussions between
the Coordinators.

                         Escalation To Senior Management

Any such question or dispute which cannot be resolved by such discussions
between the Coordinators or their respective designee, within fifteen (15)
calendar days for initiation of discussion by either Coordinator or their
respective designee, shall be escalated for resolution to the Parties'
respective senior management, i.e., Adaytum's Chief Executive Officer and one
of Andersen's Managing Partners of the Finance and Performance Management
line of Business.

                                    Mediation

Any such question or dispute which cannot be resolved by discussion between
the Parties' respective senior management, within thirty (30) calendar days
from initiation of discussion by either such individual, may be resolved by a
non-binding mediation which if selected shall proceed as follows.

         A.       Notice. The following procedures shall apply to the
mediation, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the Parties as evidenced in
writing by their respective Coordinators or their respective designee. The
mediation shall be commenced by the initiating Party notifying the other
Party in writing to its Coordinator, or their respective designee, and Legal
Department of its desire for such non-binding mediation and of the mediator
whom it selected and requesting that the other Party select its mediator.

         B.       Panel Composition and Criteria. The proceeding shall be
held by a panel of three mediators, one selected by Andersen and one selected
by Adaytum, with a third being appointed by the two so chosen. If the third
mediator is not selected within fourteen (14) days after the request is
served s/he shall be selected in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the American Arbitration Association. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the mediation under this Section shall be conducted in accordance with the
Commercial Dispute rules then in effect of the American Arbitration
Association or its successor. The mediators may only be persons who for at
least ten (10) of the last fifteen (15) years have held one or more
management positions in one or more companies engaged in, and who
individually have been responsible for some combination of, the design,
development, installation, support of and/or provision of consulting services
regarding semi-custom business software applications and systems. However, no
mediator shall have or be permitted to have had in the last five (5) years,
any employment, consulting, investing, personal/social, or other relationship
to either Party or their respective attorneys or CPA's.

         C.       Process; Location. The mediators will decide whether or not
the formal rules of evidence, and whether discovery procedures will, or will
not, be available. The proceeding will be held in a mutually agreed location.
The initiation, substance, and outcome of the proceeding shall be maintained
confidential by the Parties, their respective attorneys, and the mediators.

                                    AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                            GLOBAL ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
                                     BETWEEN
               ADAYTUM SOFTWARE, INC. AND ANDERSEN CONSULTING LLP

This Amendment, effective this _6_ day of __June_, 2000 (the "Effective
Date"), amends the Global Alliance Agreement , by and between Adaytum
Software, Inc. ("Adaytum") and Andersen Consulting LLP ("Andersen"), dated
March 31, 2000 (the "Agreement"). This Amendment is intended by the parties
to modify the Agreement specifically as follows:

1. In Section 1 - Definitions of the Agreement, the following new subsection is
   added:

     1.6 "Subsidiary" shall mean any majority-owned subsidiary of the parent
         corporation, Adaytum, operating outside the United States. A Subsidiary
         may request that an Affiliate in the same country as the requesting
         Subsidiary perform services for the Subsidiary on the terms and
         conditions set forth in the mutually agreed to Joint Development and
         Consulting Services Agreement. In such event, references in this
         Agreement to "Adaytum" would be deemed to refer to the specific
         "Subsidiary" and references to "Andersen" would be deemed to apply to
         the specific "Affiliate". In determining where such substitutions are
         or are not required by the context of the particular clause or
         provision in question, the interpretation will be adopted which best
         preserves the Parties' mutual intention that the respective rights and
         obligations as between a Subsidiary and an Affiliate are to be
         equivalent to the rights and obligations existing as between Adaytum
         and Andersen in this Agreement. The Parties shall use their reasonable
         efforts to prevail upon their Subsidiaries and Affiliates (as
         applicable) to either acknowledge in the applicable appendix their
         acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or enter into
         service agreements with each other on the same terms and conditions as
         those set forth or referenced in this Agreement, modified only to the
         extent necessary to conform to local law and commercial practice."

2. In Section 4 - Marketing Assistance Fee, the following new subsection is
   added:

         "4.7   Adaytum shall remit any payment due Andersen from Adaytum to
                Andersen's Affiliate, Proquire LLC ("Proquire"), at the
                following address:

                Proquire LLC
                100 South Wacker Drive, 9th Floor
                Chicago, Illinois 60606"

<PAGE>

3. The last sentence of Section 5.4 is replaced in its entirety by the
   following:

         "In the event Andersen sub-licenses the Adaytum Software to a Client
         (as defined in the Agreement), (i) Andersen shall provide to Adaytum
         copies of the executed sub-license, (ii) Andersen will use reasonable
         efforts to notify Adaytum of any breach of the sub-license by the
         sub-licensee, of which Andersen becomes aware, and (iii) the Adaytum
         Software shall be provided to the Client subject to Proquire Sales
         Contract between Proquire and the Client, and Andersen, as agent for
         Proquire, may invoice, collect, and receive from Client all sums that
         are or become due to Proquire and Adaytum. Outside the United States,
         an Andersen Affiliate reserves the option to provide third party
         products through itself, related entities or other third parties.
         Regardless of whether the Adaytum Software is licensed by Adaytum or
         sub-licensed by Andersen, Adaytum, and not Andersen, shall at all times
         remain responsible to Client for the performance or non-performance of
         the Adaytum Software."

4. The second sentence of Section 7.2 of the Agreement is modified in its
   entirety to read as follows:

         "Jointly developed extensions, modifications and derivative works of
         the Adaytum Software will be jointly owned by Adaytum and Andersen, and
         each Party shall have no obligation to account to the other for its use
         of such materials; however, neither Party shall license or provide
         access to such jointly owned materials to a competitor of the other
         Party, or create an alliance involving any such jointly owned materials
         with such a competitor, without the prior written agreement of the
         other Party."

5. The third sentence of Section 7.2 of the Agreement is modified to read in its
   entirety as follows:

         "The terms of this joint ownership understanding will be further
         described in a separate Joint Development Agreement between the
         Parties."

6. Section 12.6 of the Agreement is modified in its entirety as follows:

         "12.6  Except in relation to Andersen's and Adaytum's indemnification
                obligations hereunder, neither Party will be liable to the
                other for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential,
                exemplary or punitive loss, damages or expenses (including
                lost profits or savings). Andersen's or an Affiliate's
                liability for direct damages shall not in the aggregate exceed
                ***.

         THIS ADDENDUM (this "E&G Addendum") is entered into this 31st day of
March, 2000 (the "Addendum Effective Date") by and between Adaytum Software,
Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal
office at 2051 Killebrew Drive, Suite 400, Minneapolis, MN 55425 ("Adaytum"),
and Andersen Consulting, LLP an Illinois limited liability partnership with
an office at 1661 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304 ("Andersen"),
for the benefit of all Andersen worldwide organizations and Andersen owned
Affiliates as hereinafter more fully described. Adaytum and Andersen may also
be referred to herein individually as "Party" or collectively as "Parties."

         WHEREAS, Adaytum and Andersen Consulting entered into a Global
Alliance Agreement dated March 31, 2000, as amended by the Parties on June 6,
2000 (collectively, the "Agreement") to form a global alliance (the
"Andersen/Adaytum Global Alliance") to enable selling and delivery of
world-class business planning solutions;

         AND WHEREAS, Adaytum and Andersen Consulting now desire to broaden
the scope of the Andersen/Adaytum Global Alliance to include a specific
alliance (the "Andersen/Adaytum E&G Alliance") to target business planning
solutions for the institutions of higher education, and federal, national and
state-and-local governmental entities ("Education and Government").

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do mutually agree
as follows:

SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS

The capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum shall have the
meanings specified in the Agreement.

SECTION 2 -  EDUCATION & GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES

2.1      Andersen Consulting and Adaytum will use reasonable efforts to mutually
         agree in writing on a detailed business plan for Education and
         Government (the "E&G Business Plan") within 60 days of the Addendum
         Effective Date. The E&G Business Plan will be updated at least
         quarterly and signed by authorized representatives of both Parties. The
         E&G Business Plan shall include jointly agreed to performance metrics
         including annual revenues generated, defined rules of engagement,

<PAGE>

2.2      Andersen Consulting and Adaytum will use reasonable efforts to enter
         into a separate, Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") which will define
         the mutually agreed upon Adaytum Software product extensions and
         modifications to the Adaytum Software products for the Education and
         Government market within sixty (60) days of the Addendum Effective
         Date. The JDA will define, among other terms and conditions, the
         responsibilities of the parties for the joint development of extensions
         and modifications to the Adaytum Software, and, to the extent it may be
         different than the MFA arrangement set forth in Section 4 of the
         Agreement, royalty payments to be paid by Adaytum to Andersen based on
         the sales of the Adaytum Software product offerings.

SECTION 3 -PARTNER STATUS

3.1      Andersen shall be Adaytum's strategic and preferred partner to provide
         Business Integration Services in the Education and Government market
         globally ("E&G Preferred Partner"). Adaytum shall not offer the
         opportunity to provide Business Integration Services or any other
         similar service to any third party, except as provided in Section 3.2.
         As the E&G Preferred Partner, Andersen shall have preferential access
         to all of Adaytum's capabilities. Adaytum shall at all times position
         Andersen as its E&G Preferred Partner.

3.2      For all opportunities to provide Business Integration Services for the
         Education and Government market, or any such similar service, in
         connection with Adaytum Software ("Opportunities"), as the E&G
         Preferred Partner, Andersen shall have the right of first refusal for
         all Opportunities. Adaytum shall provide written notice to Andersen of
         all Opportunities as they arise, where such notice shall provide
         Andersen sufficient information with which to make an informed decision
         whether to participate in the Opportunity. Andersen shall have ten (10)
         business days to decide whether to participate in the Opportunity. If
         Andersen communicates to Adaytum in writing (including by postal mail,
         facsimile, or electronic mail) that Andersen does not wish to
         participate in the Opportunity, Adaytum may then offer the option to
         participate in the specific Opportunity to another party. Any decision
         by Andersen not to participate in any given Opportunity shall not be
         deemed a decision not to participate in any other Opportunity.

4.1      This Addendum shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
         laws of Illinois, without giving effect to conflict of law rules.

4.2      This Addendum may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
         which shall be considered an original counterpart, and shall become a
         binding agreement when each Party shall have executed one counterpart.

                                WARRANT AGREEMENT

         WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of April 14, 2000, between HomeCom
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and McNab LLC, a
limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as "INVESTOR").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, Investor has participated as an Investor in connection with
the Company's offering (the "OFFERING") of up to $2,000,000 in principal amount
of Series E Preferred Stock (the "PREFERRED STOCK") for an aggregate purchase
price $2,000,000; and

         WHEREAS, the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement are being
issued by the Company to Investor and/or its designees, in consideration for,
and as part of the investment by Investor in connection with the Offering;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the agreements herein
set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.       GRANT.

         Investor and/or its designees are hereby granted the right to purchase,
at any time from the date of issuance of the aforementioned Preferred Stock
until 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on April 14, 2005 (the "WARRANT EXERCISE
TERM"), 66,667 Shares at an exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in
Article 7 hereof) of $3.35 per share (the "INITIAL EXERCISE PRICE").

         2.       WARRANT CERTIFICATES.

         The warrant certificates (the "WARRANT CERTIFICATES") delivered and to
be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth as
EXHIBIT A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or
permitted by this Agreement.

         3.       EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

                  3.1 CASH EXERCISE. The Exercise Price may be paid in cash or
by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check,
subject to adjustment as provided in Article 7 hereof. Upon surrender of the
Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed,
together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the
Shares purchased, at the Company's executive offices currently located at
Fourteen Piedmont Center, Suite 100, 3535 Piedmont Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30305,
the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate ("HOLDER" or "HOLDERS") shall be
entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Shares so purchased.
The purchase rights represented by each Warrant

<PAGE>

Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in
part (but not as to fractional shares of the Common Stock). In the case of the
purchase of less than all the Shares purchasable under any Warrant Certificate,
the Company shall cancel said Warrant Certificate upon the surrender thereof and
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the
balance of the Shares purchasable thereunder.

                  3.2 CASHLESS EXERCISE. At any time during the Warrant Exercise
Term, the Holder may, at its option, exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part
(a "WARRANT EXCHANGE"), into the number of Shares determined in accordance with
this Section 3.2, by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the
company or at the office of its transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating
such Holder's intent to effect such exchange, the number of Shares to be
exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange
occur (the "NOTICE OF EXCHANGE"). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the
date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company (the "EXCHANGE DATE"). Certificates for the
Shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if applicable, a new warrant of
like tenor evidencing the balance of the Shares remaining subject to this
Warrant, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder
within seven (7) business days following the Exchange Date. In connection with
any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for
and acquire the number of Shares (rounded to the next highest integer) equal to
(i) the number of Shares specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the
"TOTAL NUMBER") less (ii) the number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the then existing Exercise
Price by (B) the current market value of a share of Common Stock.

         4.       ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES.

         Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the issuance of certificates for the
Shares shall be made forthwith (and in any event within five business days
thereafter) without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation,
any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed
by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that
of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

         The Warrant Certificates and the certificates representing the Shares
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature
of the present or any future Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Chief Executive officer or President or Vice President of the Company
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or
facsimile signature of the present or any future Secretary or Assistant
Secretary of the Company. Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of
execution by the Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution
or transfer.

<PAGE>

         The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part or
in whole, certificates representing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially
similar to the following:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT
         BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, (II) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, PURSUANT TO
         RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT (OR ANY SIMILAR RULE UNDER SUCH ACT RELATING TO
         THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES), OR (III) UPON THE DELIVERY BY THE
         HOLDER TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
         TO COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, STATING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
         UNDER SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.

         5.       PRICE.

                  5.1 ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. The adjusted Exercise Price shall
be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments
of the Initial Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Article 7
hereof.

                  5.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The term "EXERCISE PRICE" herein
shall mean the Initial Exercise Price or the adjusted Exercise Price, depending
upon the context.

         6.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                  6.1 REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1993.

The Warrants and the Shares have not been registered for purposes of public
distribution under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("THE ACT").

                  6.2 REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. As used herein the term
"REGISTRABLE SECURITY" means each of the Warrants, the Shares and any shares of
Common Stock issued upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such
Shares; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable
Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the
date of determination, (i) it has been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto, (ii) registration under the
Securities Act is no longer required for the immediate public distribution of
such security or (iii) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term "REGISTRABLE
SECURITIES" means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing
definition of a "Registrable Security." In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate
structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the
definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in order to prevent any
dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Article 6.

                  6.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If, at any time during the five
years following the date of this Agreement, the Company proposes to prepare and
file any registration statement or

                                       3
<PAGE>

post-effective amendments thereto covering equity or debt securities of the
Company, or any such securities of the Company held by its shareholders (in any
such case, other than in connection with a merger, acquisition or pursuant to
Form S-8 or successor form), (for purposes of this Article 6, collectively, a
"REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), it will give written notice of its intention to do so
by registered mail ("NOTICE"), at ten (10) business days prior to the filing of
each such Registration Statement, to all holders of the Registrable Securities.
Upon the written request of such a holder (a "REQUESTING HOLDER"), made within
ten (10) business days after receipt of the Notice, that the Company include any
of the Requesting Holder's Registrable Securities in the proposed Registration
Statement, the Company shall, as to each such Requesting Holder, use its best
efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable
Securities which it has been so requested to register ("PIGGYBACK
REGISTRATION"), at the Company's sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense
to the Requesting Holders. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.3,
the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written
notice pursuant to this Section 6.3 (irrespective of whether any written request
for inclusion of such securities shall have already been made) to elect not to
file any such proposed Registration Statement, or to withdraw the same after the
filing but prior to the effective date thereof.

         7.       ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.

                  7.1 SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at
any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of
subdivision or increased in the case of combination.

                  7.2 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES. Upon each adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the number of
Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the
nearest full Share by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

                  7.3 RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case of
any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other
than a change in par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety, the Holders shall thereafter have the
right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holders were the owners of the shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a
price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants and (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately

                                       4
<PAGE>

prior to the record date for such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance as if such Holders had exercised the Warrants.

                  7.4       NO ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE IN CERTAIN CASES.
No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made:

                           (a) Upon the issuance or sale of shares of
                  Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants; or

                           (b) Upon (i) the issuance of options pursuant to the
                  Company's employee stock option plan in effect on the date
                  hereof or the issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of
                  Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any such options, or
                  (ii) the issuance or sale by the Company of any shares of
                  Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any options or
                  warrants previously issued and outstanding on the date hereof;
                  or

                           (c) Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock
                  pursuant to contractual obligations existing on the date
                  hereof; or

                           (d) If the amount of said adjustment shall be less
                  than 2 cents (2CENTS) per Share, provided, however, that in
                  such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then
                  to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the
                  time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment
                  which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall
                  amount to at least 2 cents (2CENTS) per Share.

                  7.5 DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO
OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to
the exercise of all Warrants declare a dividend (other than a dividend
consisting solely of shares of Common Stock or a cash dividend or distribution
payable out of current or retained earnings) or otherwise distribute to its
shareholders any monies, assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness,
securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or
by another person or entity, or any other thing of value, the Holder or Holders
of the unexercised Warrants shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock or other securities receivable upon the exercise thereof,
to receive, upon the exercise of such Warrants, the same monies, property,
assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of
value that they would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend
or distribution. At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company
shall make appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the
provisions of this Subsection 7.5.

         8.       EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.

         Each Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the
surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of
the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing
in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Shares in such
denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such
surrender.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, and,
in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor, in lieu thereof.

         9.   ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.

         The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing
fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or
pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties
that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to
the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

         10.      RESERVATION AND LISTING OF SECURITIES.

         The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon
exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued,
fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any
shareholder. As long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrants to be listed on or quoted on the electronic bulletin board, by
NASDAQ or listed on such national securities exchanges.

         11.      NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS.

         Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice
as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of
the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

                  (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
         shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
         dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash
         dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or
         retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such
         dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or

                  (b) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company
         (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of
         all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an
         entirety shall be proposed;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record
date or the date of closing the transfer

                                       6
<PAGE>

books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend,
distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights,
options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or
distribution, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

         12.      NOTICES.

         All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered,
or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

                  (a)      If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the
         address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or

                  (b)      If to the Company, to the address set forth in
         Section 3 of this Agreement or to such other address as the Company may
         designate by notice to the Holders.

         13.      SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS.

         The Company and the Placement Agent may from time to time supplement or
amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holders of Warrant Certificates
in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained
herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any provisions herein, or to
make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder
which the Company and the Placement Agent may deem necessary or desirable and
which the Company and the Placement Agent deem not to adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Warrant Certificates.

         14.      SUCCESSORS.

         All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the
benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns hereunder.

         15.      TERMINATION.

         This Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on April 14,
2005. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will terminate on any
earlier date when all Warrants have been exercised and all the Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants have been resold to the public; provided, however,
that the provisions of Article 6 shall survive such termination until the close
of business on April 14, 2005.
