         relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate principal amount of all
         outstanding Sterling Swingline Loans, plus the Dollar Equivalent (as of
         the relevant Determination Date) of the aggregate outstanding Sterling
         Revolving Loans, would exceed the Sterling Revolving Credit Commitment
         Amount. Upon the issuance of each Foreign Currency L/C, each Sterling
         Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
         unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the UK Issuing Bank without
         recourse a participation in such Foreign Currency L/C equal to such
         Sterling Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount
         available to be drawn under such Foreign Currency L/C. Each issuance of
         a Foreign Currency L/C shall be deemed to utilize the Sterling
         Revolving Credit Commitment of each Sterling Revolving Lender by an
         amount equal to the amount of such participation.

         7. Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended so as to read
as follows:

         Section 2.05 Notice of Issuance of L/C; Agreement to Issue.

                  (a) Whenever the Domestic Borrower desires the issuance of a
         Domestic L/C, the Borrower Representative shall, in addition to any
         application

<PAGE>

         and documentation procedures required by the Domestic Issuing Bank for
         the issuance of such L/C, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
         Domestic Issuing Bank, a written notice no later than 11:30 a.m.
         (Atlanta, Georgia time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of
         the proposed date of issuance (which amount shall be specified in US
         Dollars). Whenever the Sterling Borrower desires the issuance of a
         Foreign Currency L/C, the Borrower Representative shall, in addition to
         any application and documentation procedures required by the UK Issuing
         Bank for the issuance of such Foreign Currency L/C, deliver to the
         Administrative Agent and the UK Issuing Bank a written notice no later
         than 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) at least three (3) Business
         Days in advance of the proposed date of issuance (which amount shall be
         specified in the appropriate Freely Available Foreign Currency). Any UK
         Subsidiary of the Sterling Borrower may make an application and deliver
         notice to the UK Issuing Bank for issuance of a Foreign Currency L/C,
         and such Foreign Currency L/C shall be issued in the name of such UK
         Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the fact that such Foreign Currency L/C
         shall be issued in the name of such UK Subsidiary, the Sterling
         Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify the UK Issuing Bank for such
         Foreign Currency L/C in the manner prescribed in Section 2.09 as if
         such Foreign Currency L/C was issued in the name of the Sterling
         Borrower. Each such notice, whether given by the Sterling Borrower or
         any of its UK Subsidiaries shall specify (i) the proposed date of
         issuance (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the
         L/C (which amount shall be specified in the applicable Freely Available
         Foreign Currency); (iii) the expiration date of the L/C; and (iv) the
         name and address of the beneficiary with respect to such L/C, and shall
         attach a precise description of the documentation and a verbatim text
         of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such L/C which
         would require the Domestic Issuing Bank or UK Issuing Bank, as the case
         may be, to make payment under the L/C, provided that the Domestic
         Issuing Bank or UK Issuing Bank, as the case may be, may require
         changes in any such documents and certificates in accordance with its
         customary letter of credit practices, and provided further, that no L/C
         shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder
         on the same Business Day that such draft is presented if such
         presentation is made after 11:30 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) in the
         case of a Domestic L/C or within two Business Days in the case of a
         Foreign Currency L/C. To the extent any application and notice shall be
         inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this
         Agreement shall prevail. Absent such inconsistency, the terms of the
         application and notice and this Agreement shall remain in full force
         and effect. In determining whether to pay under any L/C, the applicable
         Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents
         and certificate required to be delivered under its L/C have been
         delivered, and that they comply on their face with the requirements of
         the L/C. Promptly after receiving the notice of issuance of a L/C, the
         Administrative Agent shall notify each Domestic Revolving Lender or
         Sterling Revolving Lender, as the case may be, of such Revolving
         Lender's respective participation therein, determined in accordance
         with its respective Pro

<PAGE>

         Rata Share of the respective Revolving Domestic or Sterling Credit
         Commitments on the date of the issuance of such L/C.

                  (b) The Domestic Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms and
         conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue for the account of the
         Domestic Borrower one or more Domestic L/Cs, each in a face amount
         equal to the face amount requested under Section 2.05(a) above,
         following its receipt of a notice and the application and other
         documents required by Section 2.05(a). The UK Issuing Bank agrees,
         subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to
         issue for the account of the Sterling Borrower one or more Foreign
         Currency L/Cs, each in a face amount equal to the face amount requested
         under Section 2.05(a) above, following its receipt of a notice and the
         application and other documents required by Section 2.05(a).
         Immediately upon the issuance of each L/C, each Domestic Revolving
         Lender or Sterling Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
         agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Domestic Issuing Bank or
         the UK Issuing Bank, as the case may be, a participation in such L/C
         and any drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving
         Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments or
         the Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be,
         multiplied by the face amount of such L/C.

                  (c) Each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby purchases a
         participation in the Existing Domestic L/Cs and any drawings thereunder
         in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Domestic
         Revolving Credit Commitments multiplied by the face amount of such
         Existing Domestic L/Cs.

                   Each Sterling Revolving Lender hereby purchases a
         participation in the Existing Foreign Currency L/Cs and any drawings
         thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments multiplied by the face amount of
         such Existing Foreign Currency L/Cs.

         8. Section 2.06(b) and 2.06(c) of the Credit Agreement are hereby
amended so as to read as follows:

                  (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Foreign
         Currency L/C by the beneficiary thereof, the UK Issuing Bank shall
         notify the Sterling Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Sterling
         Revolving Lenders on or before the date on which the UK Issuing Bank
         intends to honor such drawing, and the Sterling Borrower agrees to
         reimburse the UK Issuing Bank on the day on which such drawing is
         honored in an amount, in same day funds in the Freely Available Foreign
         Currency the L/C is issued under, equal to the amount of such drawing,
         provided that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
         notwithstanding, unless the Sterling Borrower shall have notified the
         UK Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:30 a.m.
         (Atlanta, Georgia time) on

<PAGE>

         the Business Day three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which
         such drawing is honored, that the Sterling Borrower intends to
         reimburse the UK Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds
         other than the proceeds of Sterling Revolving Loans, the Sterling
         Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Sterling Revolving
         Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting Sterling
         Revolving Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored in an
         amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such drawing,
         and the Sterling Revolving Lenders shall by 1:00 p.m (Atlanta, Georgia
         time) on the date of such drawing, make Sterling Revolving Loans in the
         Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of
         which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to
         reimburse the UK Issuing Bank for the Sterling Equivalent of the amount
         of such drawing, provided that for the purposes solely of such Sterling
         Revolving Borrowing, the conditions and requirements set forth in
         Sections 2.01, 2.03, 6.01 and 6.02 hereof shall not be applicable, and
         provided further that if for any reason proceeds of the Sterling
         Revolving Loans are not received by the UK Issuing Bank on such date in
         the amount equal to the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such
         drawing, the Sterling Borrower shall reimburse the UK Issuing Bank on
         the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing in an
         amount, in Sterling and immediately available funds, equal to the
         excess of the Sterling Equivalent of the amount of such drawing over
         the amount of such Sterling Revolving Loans, if any, which are so
         received, plus accrued interest on the amount at the applicable rate of
         interest for Sterling Revolving Loans.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
         contrary, to the extent that any L/C or portion thereof remains
         outstanding on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the parties
         hereby agree that the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof shall be
         deemed to have made a drawing of all available amounts pursuant to such
         L/Cs on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, which amounts shall be
         reimbursed (i) in the case of a Domestic L/C, to the Domestic Issuing
         Bank by the Domestic Borrower directly (and not through a Domestic
         Revolving Borrowing under the Domestic Revolving Credit Commitments as
         contemplated in Section 2.06(a)), (ii) in the case of a Foreign
         Currency L/C, to the UK Issuing Bank by the Sterling Borrower directly
         (and not through a Sterling Revolving Borrowing under the Sterling
         Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated in Section 2.06(b)), and
         thereafter held by such Issuing Bank as cash collateral for its
         remaining obligations pursuant to such L/C in such Issuing Bank's Cash
         Collateral Account.

         9. Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended so as to read
as follows:

                  Section 2.07 Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that
         the Domestic Borrower or the Sterling Borrower shall fail to reimburse
         the Domestic

<PAGE>

         Issuing Bank or UK Issuing Bank, as applicable, as provided in Section
         2.06 by borrowing Domestic Revolving Loans or Sterling Revolving Loans,
         as applicable, or otherwise providing an amount equal to the amount of
         any drawing honored by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall
         promptly notify the Administrative Agent who shall promptly notify
         respective Domestic or Sterling Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed
         amount of such drawing and of such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share
         thereof. Each respective Domestic or Sterling Revolving Lender shall
         make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its
         respective participation, in US Dollars in the case of Domestic L/Cs,
         and in the appropriate Freely Available Foreign Currency in the case of
         Foreign L/Cs, and in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office
         of the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia
         time) in the case of participations in Domestic L/Cs on the Business
         Day after the date notified by the Administrative Agent, and, in the
         case of participations in Foreign Currency L/C's, not later than three
         (3) Business Days after the date notified by the Administrative Agent,
         and the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such amounts available
         to the applicable Issuing Bank. In the event that any such Domestic or
         Sterling Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
         Agent the amount of such Domestic or Sterling Revolving Lender's
         respective participation in such L/C, such Issuing Bank shall be
         entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Domestic or
         Sterling Revolving Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds
         Rate for the first two Business Days after demand and thereafter at the
         Base Rate. Each Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative
         Agent all payments received by such Issuing Bank from the Domestic
         Borrower and Sterling Borrower in reimbursement of drawings honored by
         such Issuing Bank under such L/C when such payments are received. The
         Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each respective
         Domestic or Sterling Revolving Lender (other than the Issuing Banks)
         that has paid all amounts payable under this Section with respect to
         any L/C, such Revolving Lender's applicable Pro Rata Share of such
         payments.

         10. Section 5.05(c) and 5.05(d) of the Credit Agreement are hereby
amended so as to read as follows:

                  (c) The Domestic Borrower and the Sterling Borrower, as the
         case may be, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
         benefit of each Revolving Lender based upon its respective Pro Rata
         Share of the Domestic and Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments, as the
         case may be a letter of credit fee for standby letters of credit (the
         "Standby L/C Fee") for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and
         including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to the
         Applicable

<PAGE>

         LIBOR Margin then in effect multiplied by the L/C Obligations
         consisting of standby letters of credit; provided, however, that if an
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Standby L/C Fee
         shall be increased to an amount equal to two percentage points above
         the Applicable LIBOR Margin then in effect multiplied by the L/C
         Obligations consisting of standby letters of credit. The Standby L/C
         Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
         calendar quarter, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in
         which the first L/C is issued, and on the Revolving Credit Termination
         Date. The Domestic Borrower and the Sterling Borrower, as the case may
         be, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit
         of each Revolving Lender based upon its respective Pro Rata Share of
         the Domestic and Sterling Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may
         be a letter of credit fee for commercial/trade letters of credit (the
         "Commercial L/C Fee"), payable at the time of issuance, for the period
         commencing on the Closing Date to and including the Revolving Credit
         Termination Date, equal to .25% of the face amount on issuance and/or
         increases for each 90 day period and 1% per annum of the face amount on
         acceptance of a draw under a L/C plus usual and customary bank charges
         for the Issuing Bank's account as agreed upon between Issuing Bank and
         the Domestic Borrower or the Sterling Borrower; provided, however, that
         if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Commercial
         L/C Fee shall be increased to an amount equal to two percentage points
         above the fee then in effect. Fees payable for Foreign Currency L/C's
         shall be paid in Dollars.

                  (d) The Domestic Borrower agrees to pay to the Domestic
         Issuing Bank for its own account, a facing fee (the "Domestic Facing
         Fee") for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including
         the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to 0.25% per annum
         multiplied by the Domestic L/C Obligations, plus customary issuance and
         administration fees. The Sterling Borrower agrees to pay to the UK
         Issuing Bank for its own account a facing fee (the "UK Facing Fee"
         payable in Dollars; together with the Domestic Facing Fee, the "Facing
         Fees") for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including
         the Revolving Credit Termination Date, equal to 0.25% per annum
         multiplied by the Foreign Currency L/C Obligations, plus customary
         issuance and administration fees. The Facing Fees shall be payable
         quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter,
         commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the first
         L/C is issued, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

         11. Section 8.07(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended so as to
read as follows:

                  Annual Financial Statements. As soon as available and in any

         a consolidated basis, and the related statements of income, retained
         earnings and cash flows of the Consolidated Companies for such Fiscal
         Year, presented on a consolidated basis, setting forth in each case in

         unqualified as to going concern and scope of audit, with the exception
         of the September 30, 2000 audit, and shall state that such financial
         statements present fairly in all material respects the financial
         condition as at the end of such Fiscal Year, and the results of
         operations and statements of cash flows of the Consolidated Companies
         for such Fiscal Year in accordance with GAAP and that the examination
         by such accountants in connection with such financial statements has
         been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;

         12. Section 8.09(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended so as to

                  (ii) each member of the Sterling Borrower Group (other than
         dormant companies) and any other member of the Sterling Borrower Group
