Bank, in such funds as are then customary for the
settlement of international transactions in such
currency and no later than such local time, as the
Agent has previously specified in a notice to each
Bank, as is necessary for such funds to be received
and transferred to the Borrower for same day value on
the date of the Borrowing. Unless the Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in
Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will
make the funds so received from the Banks available to
the Borrower at the Agent's address referred to in
Section 9.01, or such other address as the Agent and
the Borrower shall agree to, in each case in the type
of funds received by the Agent from the Banks. Unless
the Agent receives notice from a Bank, at the Agent's
address referred to in or specified pursuant to
Section 9.01, no later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at
such address) on the Domestic Business Day before the
date of a Borrowing stating that such Bank will not
make a Loan in connection with such Borrowing, the
Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Bank will
make a Loan in connection with such Borrowing and, in
reliance on such assumption, the Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) make available such Bank's
ratable share of such Borrowing to the Borrower for
the account of such Bank. If the Agent makes any such
Bank's ratable share of a Borrowing available to the
Borrower, the Agent shall promptly notify (which
notice may be telephonic) the Borrower of the identity
of the Bank for whom such funds were advanced and the
amount of such advance. The Agent shall promptly
notify (which notice may be telephonic) the Borrower
of the details of any notice received from any Bank
stating that any such Bank does not intend to make its
ratable share of funds available in connection with
any relevant Borrowing. If the Agent makes such
Bank's ratable share available to the Borrower and
such Bank does not in fact make its ratable share of
such Syndicated Borrowing available on such date, the
Agent shall be entitled to recover such Bank's ratable
share from such Bank or the Borrower (and for such
purpose shall be entitled to charge such amount to any
account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent),
together with interest thereon for each day during the
period from the date of such Borrowing until such sum
shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the
rate at which the Agent determines that it obtained
(or could have obtained) overnight Federal funds to
cover such amount for each such day during such
period, provided that any such payment by the Borrower
of such Bank's ratable share and interest thereon
shall be without prejudice to any rights that the
Borrower may have against such Bank. If the Agent
does not exercise its option to advance funds for the
account of such Bank, it shall forthwith notify the
Borrower of such decision.

(d) If any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder
on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any
part of an outstanding Loan from such Bank, such Bank
shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such
repayment as a Refunding Loan and only an amount equal
to the difference (if any) between the amount being
borrowed and the amount of such Refunding Loan shall
be made available by such Bank to the Agent as
provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, or remitted
by the Borrower to the Agent as provided in Section
2.12, as the case may be; provided, however, that if
the Loan which is to be repaid is a Foreign Currency
Loan or Finnish Markka Loan, the foregoing provisions
shall apply only if the new Loan is to be made in the
same Foreign Currency as such outstanding Loan, or in
Finnish markkas if such Loan was a Finnish Markka
Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, no Fixed Rate
Borrowing may be made if there shall have occurred a
Default or an Event of Default, which Default or Event
of Default shall not have been cured or waived.

(f) In the event that a Notice of
Borrowing fails to specify whether the Loans
comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans,
Euro-Dollar Loans, Finnish Markka Loans or Foreign
Currency Loans, such Loans shall be made as Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower is otherwise entitled under
this Agreement to repay any Loans maturing at the end
of an Interest Period applicable thereto with the
proceeds of a new Borrowing, and the Borrower fails to
repay such Loans using its own moneys and fails to
give a Notice of Borrowing in connection with such new
Borrowing, a new Borrowing shall be deemed to be made
on the date such Loans mature in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the Loans so maturing, and the
Loans comprising such new Borrowing shall be Base Rate
Loans, which shall be in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent of such maturing Loans, if such maturing
Loans were Foreign Currency Loans or Finnish Markka
Loans as of the date of maturity.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, there shall not
be more than 8 Fixed Rate Loans outstanding at any
time.

SECTION 2.03. Money Market Loans. (a) In
addition to making Syndicated Borrowings, the Borrower
may, as set forth in this Section 2.03, request the
Banks to make offers to make Money Market Borrowings
available to the Borrower. The Banks may, but shall
have no obligation to, make such offers and the
Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept
any such offers in the manner set forth in this
Section 2.03, provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of
all Money Market Loans, together with the
aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated
Loans, at any one time outstanding shall not
exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments
of all of the Banks at such time; and

(ii) the Money Market Loans of any Bank
will be deemed to be usage of the Commitments
for the purpose of calculating availability
pursuant to Section 2.01(ii) and to this Section
2.03(a)(ii), but will not reduce such Bank's
obligation to lend its pro rata share of the
remaining aggregate Unused Commitments.

(b) When the Borrower wishes to request
offers to make Money Market Loans, it shall give the
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (a
"Money Market Quote Request") so as to be received no
later than 12:00 P.M. (noon) (Atlanta, Georgia time)
at least 1 Domestic Business Day prior to the date of
the Money Market Borrowing proposed therein (or such
other time and date as the Borrower and the Agent,
with the consent of the Required Banks, may agree),
specifying:

(i) the proposed date of such Money
Market Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic
Business Day (the "Borrowing Date");

(ii) the maturity date (or dates) (each a
"Stated Maturity Date") for repayment of each
Money Market Loan to be made as part of such
Money Market Borrowing (which Stated Maturity
Date shall be that date occurring either 7 days,
14 days, 30 days, or any other amount of days
greater than 30 days but not greater than 180
days from the date of such Money Market
Borrowing); provided, that the Stated Maturity
Date for any Money Market Loan may not extend
beyond the Termination Date (as in effect on the
date of such Money Market Quote Request); and

(iii) the aggregate amount of principal to
be received by the Borrower as a result of such
Money Market Borrowing, which shall be at least
$3,000,000 (and in larger integral multiples of
$500,000) but shall not cause the limits
specified in Section 2.03(a) to be violated.

The Borrower may request offers to make Money Market
Loans having up to 3 different Stated Maturity Dates
in a single Money Market Quote Request; provided, that
the request for each separate Stated Maturity Date
shall be deemed to be a separate Money Market Quote
Request for a separate Money Market Borrowing. Except
as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, after the

first Money Market Quote Request has been given
hereunder, no Money Market Quote Request shall be
given until at least 5 Domestic Business Days after
all prior Money Market Quote Requests have been fully
processed by the Agent, the Banks and the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.03.

(c) (i) Each Bank may, but shall have no
obligation to, submit a response containing an
offer to make a Money Market Loan substantially
in the form of Exhibit L hereto (a "Money Market
Quote") in response to any Money Market Quote
Request; provided, that, if the Borrower's
request under Section 2.03(b) specified more
than 1 Stated Maturity Date, such Bank may, but
shall have no obligation to, make a single
submission containing a separate offer for each
such Stated Maturity Date and each such separate
offer shall be deemed to be a separate Money
Market Quote. Each Money Market Quote must be
submitted to the Agent not later than 10:30 A.M.
(Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Borrowing Date;
provided that any Money Market Quote submitted
by Wachovia may be submitted, and may only be
submitted, if Wachovia notifies the Borrower of
the terms of the offer contained therein not
later than 10:15 A.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on
the Borrowing Date (or 15 minutes prior to the
time that the other Banks must have submitted
their respective Money Market Quotes). Subject
to Section 6.01, any Money Market Quote so made
shall be irrevocable except with the written
consent of the Agent given on the instructions
of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Money Market Quote shall
specify:

(A) the proposed Borrowing Date
and the Stated Maturity Date therefor;

(B) the principal amounts of the
Money Market Loan which the quoting Bank
is willing to make for the applicable
Money Market Quote, which principal
amounts (w) may not exceed the aggregate
amount of the Unused Commitments, (x) may
be greater than or less than the
Commitment of the quoting Bank, (y) shall
be at least $3,000,000 or a larger
integral multiple of $500,000, and (z) may
not exceed the principal amount of the
Money Market Borrowing for which offers
were requested;

(C) the rate of interest per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest 1/100th of 1%) offered for each
such Money Market Loan, (such amounts
being hereinafter referred to as the
"Money Market Rate"); and

(D) the identity of the quoting
Bank.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, all of the
Banks, and the Borrower, no Money Market Quote
shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar
language or propose terms other than or in
addition to those set forth in the applicable
Money Market Quote Request (other than setting
forth the maximum principal amounts of the Money
Market Loan which the quoting Bank is willing to
make for the applicable Interest Period).

(d) The Agent shall as promptly as
practicable after the Money Market Quote is submitted
(but in any event not later than 11:30 A.M. (Atlanta,
Georgia time)) on the Borrowing Date, notify the
Borrower of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote
submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with Section
2.03(c) and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that
amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a
previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank
with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request.
Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be
disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Money
Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest
error in such former Money Market Quote. The Agent's
notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the principal
amounts of the Money Market Borrowing for which offers
have been received and (B) the respective principal
amounts and Money Market Rates so offered by each Bank
(identifying the Bank that made each Money Market
Quote).

(e) Not later than 12:30 P.M. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the Borrowing Date, the Borrower
shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or
nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant
to Section 2.03(d) and the Agent shall promptly notify
each affected Bank. In the case of acceptance, such
notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
offers (for each Stated Maturity Date) that are
accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money Market
Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of
each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the
applicable amount set forth in the related Money
Market Quote Request;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of
each Money Market Loan comprising a Money Market
Borrowing shall be at least $3,000,000 (and in
larger multiples of $500,000) but shall not
cause the limits specified in Section 2.03(a) to
be violated;

(iii) acceptance of offers may only be
made in ascending order of Money Market Rates;
and

(iv) the Borrower may not accept any
offer where the Agent has advised the Borrower
that such offer fails to comply with Section
2.03(c)(ii) or otherwise fails to comply with
the requirements of this Agreement (including
without limitation, Section 2.03(a)).

If offers are made by 2 or more Banks with the same
Money Market Rates for a greater aggregate principal
amount than the amount in respect of which offers are
accepted for the related Stated Maturity Date, the
principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of
which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by
the Borrower among such Banks as nearly as possible in
proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such
offers. Determinations by the Borrower of the amounts
of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

(f) Any Bank whose offer to make any
Money Market Loan has been accepted shall, not later
than 1:30 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the
Borrowing Date, make the appropriate amount of such
Money Market Loan available to the Agent at its
address referred to in Section 9.01 in immediately
available funds. The amount so received by the Agent
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, be made available to the Borrower on such
date by depositing the same, in immediately available
funds, not later than 4:30 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia
time), in an account of such Borrower maintained with
Wachovia.

SECTION 2.04. Finnish Markka Loans. (a)
In addition to the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall from time
to time, upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from
the Borrower therefor (through the Agent), if the
Agent determines that the applicable conditions
precedent in Article III have been satisfied and so
notifies ▇▇▇▇▇▇, make available to the Borrower
Finnish Markka Loans at such office as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has
previously specified pursuant to a written notice to
the Borrower (and no later than such local time as is
necessary for such funds to be received and
transferred to the Borrower for same day value on the
date of the Borrowing), in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the
Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000; provided that,
immediately after such Finnish Markka Loan is made,
the aggregate outstanding amount of all Loans shall
not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Each Finnish
Markka Borrowing under this Section 2.04 shall be in
an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount of
$1,000,000 or any larger multiple Dollar Equivalent
amount of $250,000. Within the foregoing limits, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay
and reborrow under this Section 2.04 at any time
before the Termination Date. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall notify the
Agent upon receipt of any payment made by the Borrower
with respect to Finnish Markka Loans.

(b) The Dollar Equivalent of each Finnish
Markka Loan on the date each Finnish Markka Loan is
disbursed shall be deemed to be the amount of the
Finnish Markka Loan outstanding for the purpose of
calculating the Unused Commitments on the date of
disbursement.

(c) At any time, upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
through the Agent, during the existence of an Event of
Default, each Bank other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, on the
third Domestic Business Day after such request is
made, purchase a participating interest in Finnish
Markka Loans in an amount equal to its ratable share
(based upon its respective Commitment) of the Dollar
Equivalent amount of such Finnish Markka Loans. On
such third Domestic Business Day, each Bank will
immediately transfer to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in immediately
available funds, the amount of its participation at
such office as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has previously specified
pursuant to a written notice to the Agent and the
Banks.

(d) Whenever, at any time after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has
received from any such Bank its participating interest
in a Finnish Markka Loan, the Agent receives any
payment on account thereof, the Agent will distribute
to such Bank its participating interest in such amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which
such Bank's participating interest was outstanding and
funded); provided, however, that in the event that
such payment received by the Agent is required to be
returned, such Bank will return to the Agent any
portion thereof previously distributed by the Agent to
it. Each Bank's obligation to purchase such
participating interests shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including, without limitation: (i) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Bank or any other Person may have
against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ requesting such purchase or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or
the termination of the Commitments; (iii) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any breach of
this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Bank; or
(v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to hold the Agent and the
Banks harmless from any loss incurred by the Agent or
the Banks arising from any change in Dollar Equivalent
of Finnish markkas between the date such participating
interest was purchased and the date of payment
thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Each
Loan included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the
principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Borrowing, unless such Loan shall be due and

payable prior thereto by reason of the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Section
6.01). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans, if any, together with
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, shall
be due and payable on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Rates. (a) Each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from the date
such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate for such date plus the
Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable for
each Interest Period on the last day thereof.

(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof,
for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin
plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered
Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be
payable for each Interest Period on the last day
thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than 3
months, at intervals of 3 months after the first day
thereof.

(c) Each Money Market Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof,
for each day from the date such Money Market Loan is
made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal
to the applicable Money Market Rate set forth in the
relevant Money Market Quote. Such interest shall be
payable on the Stated Maturity Date thereof, and, if
the Stated Maturity Date occurs more than 3 months
after the date of the relevant Money Market Loan, at
intervals of 3 months after the first day thereof.

(d) Each Finnish Markka Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof,
for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin
plus the applicable Adjusted IBOR Rate for such
Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for
each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if
such Interest Period is longer than 3 months, at
intervals of 3 months after the first day thereof.

(e) Each Foreign Currency Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof,
for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin
plus the applicable Adjusted IBOR Rate for such
Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for
each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if
such Interest Period is longer than 3 months, at
intervals of 3 months after the first day thereof.
Any overdue principal of and, to the

extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Foreign Currency
Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until
paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(f) After the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, the principal amount of the
Loans (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of
the Required Banks, bear interest at the Default Rate.

SECTION 2.07. Fees; Calculations. (a) The
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable
account of each Bank a facility fee (the "Facility
Fee") on the maximum amount of the aggregate
Commitments in effect for any relevant period,
irrespective of usage, as follows: (i) if the
Borrower's ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA
is less than 1.0 to 1.0, 0.075%, (ii) if the
Borrower's ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA
is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but less than
1.50 to 1.0, 0.09%, (iii) if the Borrower's ratio of
Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA is greater than or
equal to 1.50 to 1.0 but less than 2.0 to 1.0, 0.11%,
(iv) if the Borrower's ratio of Consolidated Funded
Debt to EBITDA is greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0
but less than 2.5 to 1.0, 0.15%, (v) if the Borrower's
ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA is greater
than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0 but less than 3.0 to 1.0,
0.175%, (vi) if the Borrower's ratio of Consolidated
Funded Debt to EBITDA is greater than or equal to 3.0
to 1.0 but less than 3.5 to 1.0, 0.20%, and (vii) if
the Borrower's ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to
EBITDA is equal to or greater than 3.50 to 1.0, 0.30%.

(b) In determining the amounts to be
paid by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.06 and
2.07(a), the Borrower and the Banks shall refer to the
Borrower's most recent financial statements delivered
to the Banks pursuant to Section 5.01(a) (together
with the Compliance Certificate delivered in
connection therewith, the "Audited Statements") and
Section 5.01(b) (together with the Compliance
Certificate delivered in connection therewith, the
"Unaudited Statements"); provided, that, should any
relevant Audited Statements or Unaudited Statements be
delivered on a date later than a Performance Pricing
Determination Date, the Applicable Margin and fees to
be paid hereunder shall equal the highest percentage
set forth therefor in Section 2.07 and in the
definition of "Applicable Margin," until the next
succeeding Performance Pricing Determination Date (as
such term is hereinafter defined). For purposes
hereof, "Performance Pricing Determination Date" shall
mean each date that occurs 45 days after the end of
each of the first 3 Fiscal Quarters, and 90 days after
the end of the last Fiscal Quarter, of the Borrower.
All determinations hereunder shall be made by the
Agent unless the Required Banks shall object to any such

determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for purposes of determining the amounts to be paid by
the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 2.07(a)
until the Performance Pricing Determination Date which
occurs on or about January 30, 1998, the ratio of
Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA shall conclusively
be presumed to be greater than 2.0 to 1.0, but less
than 2.5 to 1.0. The Facility Fee shall accrue at all
times from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the Termination Date and shall be payable,
in arrears, on each Quarterly Date and on the
Termination Date.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent,
for the account and sole benefit of the Agent, such
fees and other amounts at such times as set forth in
the Agent's Letter Agreement.

SECTION 2.08. Optional Termination or
Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at
least 3 Domestic Business Days' notice to the Agent
(which notice the Agent shall promptly forward to the
Banks), terminate at any time, or proportionately
reduce the Unused Commitments from time to time by an
aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000, or any larger
multiple of $1,000,000. If the Commitments are
terminated in their entirety, all accrued fees (as
provided under Section 2.07) shall be due and payable
on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments.
The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination
Date and any Loans (together with accrued interest
thereon) then outstanding shall be due and payable on
such date.

SECTION 2.10. Optional Prepayments. (a)
The Borrower may, upon at least 1 Domestic Business
Day's notice to the Agent, prepay any Base Rate
Borrowing in whole at any time, or from time to time
in part in amounts aggregating at least $1,000,000 or
any larger multiple of $500,000, by paying the
principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued
interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such
optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably
the Base Rate Loans of the several Banks included in
such Base Rate Borrowing.

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.02
or required under Section 2.11(b), the Borrower may
not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount
of any Fixed Rate Loan prior to the maturity thereof.

(c) Upon receipt of a notice of
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
thereof and of such Bank's ratable share of such

prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11. Mandatory Prepayments;
Application of Payments. (a) On each date on which the
Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.08, the
Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount
of the outstanding Loans (together with interest
accrued thereon), as may be necessary so that after
such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
the Loans does not exceed the amount of the aggregate
Commitments as then reduced.

(b) If the Agent determines at any time
(either on its own initiative or at the request of any
Bank) that the aggregate principal amount of the
Foreign Currency Loans and Finnish Markka Loans
outstanding (after converting each such Foreign
Currency Loan and Finnish Markka Loan to its Dollar
Equivalent on the date of calculation) at any time
exceeds the aggregate Commitments less the outstanding
aggregate amount of all Syndicated Dollar Loans, then
upon 5 Foreign Currency Business Days' written notice
from the Agent, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate
principal amount of Loans sufficient to reduce the
aggregate of the Foreign Currency Loans and the
Syndicated Dollar Loans outstanding to an amount not
exceeding the Commitment. Except as required by
Section 2.01 hereof, nothing in the foregoing shall
require the Agent to monitor the Dollar Equivalent
amount of outstanding Foreign Currency Loans. The
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the amount of
any such mandatory prepayment.

(c) All prepayments hereunder shall be
applied in the following order: (i) first to Base Rate
Loans; (ii) then to Euro-Dollar Loans; (iii) then to
Foreign Currency Loans; (iv) then to Money Market
Loans, and (v) lastly, to Finnish Markka Loans.

SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to
Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of
principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees
hereunder, not later than 1:00 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia
time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds
(subject to paragraph (c) below with respect to
Foreign Currency Loans and Finnish Markka Loans)
immediately available in Atlanta, Georgia to the Agent
at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Agent
will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable
share of each such payment received by the Agent for
the account of the Banks.

(b) Whenever any payment of principal
of, or interest on, the Domestic Loans or of fees
hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a
Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic
Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of or
interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans or the Foreign
Currency Loans shall be

due on a day which is not a
Euro-Dollar Business Day or Foreign Currency Business
Day, as the case may be, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar
Business Day or Foreign Currency Business Day, as the
case may be, unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day or
Foreign Currency Business Day, as the case may be,
falls in another calendar month, in which case the
date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding
Euro-Dollar Business Day or Foreign Currency Business
Day, as the case may be.

(c) All payments of principal and
interest with respect to Foreign Currency Loans shall
be made in the Foreign Currency in which the related
Foreign Currency Loan was made. All payments of
principal and interest with respect to Finnish Markka
Loans shall be made in Finnish markkas.

(d) All payments of principal, interest
and fees and all other amounts to be made by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
any Loan or fee relating thereto shall be paid without
deduction for, and free from, any tax, imposts,
levies, duties, deductions, or withholdings of any
nature now or at anytime hereafter imposed by any
governmental authority or by any taxing authority
thereof or therein excluding in the case of each Bank,
(1) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income,
and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Bank (as the case may be)
is organized or any political subdivision thereof, and
(2) in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction of such Bank's applicable Lending Office
or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-
excluded taxes, imposts, levies, duties, deductions or
withholdings of any nature being "Taxes").

In the event that the Borrower is required
by applicable law to make any such withholding or
deduction of Taxes with respect to any Loan or fee or
other amount, the Borrower shall pay such deduction or
withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall
promptly furnish to any Bank in respect of which such
deduction or withholding is made all receipts and
other documents evidencing such payment and shall pay
to such Bank additional amounts as may be necessary in
order that the amount received by such Bank after the
required withholding or other payment shall equal the
amount such Bank would have received had no such
withholding or other payment been made. If no
withholding or deduction of Taxes are payable in
respect to any Loan or fee relating thereto, the
Borrower shall furnish, at such Bank's request, a
certificate from each applicable taxing authority or
an opinion of counsel acceptable to such, in either
case stating that such payments are exempt from or not
subject to withholding or deduction of Taxes. If the
Borrower fails to

provide such Bank the original or
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of
Taxes or certificate(s) or opinion of counsel of
exemption, the Borrower agrees to compensate such Bank
for, and indemnify it with respect to, the tax
consequences of the Borrower's failure to provide
evidence of tax payments or tax exemption.

Each Bank agrees, as soon as practicable
after request by it of a request by the Borrower to do
so, to file all appropriate forms and take other
appropriate action to obtain a certificate or other
appropriate document from the appropriate governmental
authority in the jurisdiction imposing the relevant
taxes, establishing that it is entitled to receive
payments of principal and interest under this
Agreement and the Notes without deduction and free
from withholding of any Taxes imposed by such
jurisdiction; provided, that, if it is unable, for any
reason, to establish such exemption, or to file such
forms and, in any event, during such period of time as
such request for exemption is pending, the Borrower
shall nonetheless remain obligated under the terms of
the immediately preceding paragraph.

In the event any Bank receives a refund of
any Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.12(c), it will pay to the Borrower the
amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof;
provided, however, if at any time thereafter it is
required to return such refund, the Borrower shall
promptly repay to it the amount of such refund.

Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the
Banks contained in this Section 2.12(d) shall be
applicable with respect to any Participant, Assignee
or other Transferee, and any calculations required by
such provisions (i) shall be made based upon the
circumstances of such Participant, Assignee or other
Transferee, and (ii) constitute a continuing agreement
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment in full or cancellation of the Notes.

SECTION 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees.
Interest on Domestic Loans based on the Base Rate
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).
Interest on Euro-Dollar Loans and on

Foreign Currency Loans and Finnish Markka Loans shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days (except for any
Foreign Currency Loans outstanding in British pounds
sterling or Canadian dollars (or, if selected as a
Foreign Currency pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Foreign Currency," Australian dollars,
New Zealand dollars or Irish punts), which shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be) and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period
from and including the first day thereof to but
excluding the last day thereof. Fees payable
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and paid for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

SECTION 2.14. Notes. (a) The Syndicated
Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single
Syndicated Dollar Note or a single Foreign Currency
Note, as the case may be, executed and delivered by
the Borrower, each payable to the order of such Bank
for the account of its Lending Office in an amount
equal to the original principal amount of such Bank's
Commitment.

(b) The Money Market Loans made by any
Bank to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single
Money Market Loan Note payable to the order of such
Bank for the account of its Lending Office in an
amount equal to the original principal amount of the
aggregate Commitments.

(c) The Finnish Markka Loans made by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single
Finnish Markka Loan Note payable to the order of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the account of its Lending Office in an
amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000.

(d) Upon receipt of each Bank's Notes
pursuant to Section 3.01, the Agent shall deliver such
Notes to such Bank. Each Bank (or ▇▇▇▇▇▇, with
respect to the Finnish Markka Loan Note) shall record,
and prior to any transfer of its Notes shall endorse
on the schedules forming a part thereof appropriate
notations to evidence, the date, amount and maturity
of, and effective interest rate for, each Loan made by
it, the date and amount of each payment of principal
made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and such
schedules of each such Bank's Notes shall constitute
rebuttable presumptive evidence of the respective
principal amounts owing and unpaid on such Bank's
Notes; provided, that the failure of any Bank to make
any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect
the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the
Notes or the ability of any Bank to assign its Notes.
Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and
make a part of any Note a continuation of any such
schedule as and when required. In order to verify the
Loans outstanding from

time to time, at the request of the Borrower, the Agent
shall furnish the Borrower with its records of transactions
under this Agreement, in reasonable detail.

the Borrower or a Subsidiary), except as permitted by
law and in the ordinary course of business and

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment; Powers and
Immunities. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent: (a)
shall have no duties or responsibilities except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for
any Bank; (b) shall not be responsible to the Banks
for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any
Bank under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any other document referred to
or provided for herein or therein or for any failure
by the Borrower to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to
initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document
except to the extent requested by the Required Banks,
and then only on terms and conditions satisfactory to
the Agent, and (d) shall not be responsible for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or any other document or
instrument referred to or provided for herein or
therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except
for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and
shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. The provisions
of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the
Agent and the Banks and the

Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement
and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act
solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall
not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of
agency or trust with or for the Borrower. The duties
of the Agent shall be ministerial and administrative
in nature, and the Agent shall not have by reason of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Bank.

SECTION 7.02. Reliance by Agent. The
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certification, notice or other communication
(including any thereof by telephone, telefax, telegram
or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants
or other experts selected by the Agent. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance
with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and
such instructions of the Required Banks in any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding on all of the Banks.

SECTION 7.03. Defaults. The Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default (other than the
nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans)
unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or
the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of
Default." In the event that the Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Banks. The Agent shall give each Bank prompt
notice of each nonpayment of principal of or interest
on the Loans whether or not it has received any notice
of the occurrence of such nonpayment. The Agent shall
(subject to Section 9.06) take such action hereunder
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided
that, unless and until the Agent shall have received
such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best
interests of the Banks.

SECTION 7.04. Rights of Agent as a Bank.
With respect to the Loans made by it, Wachovia in its
capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may
exercise the same as though it were not acting

as the Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, include Wachovia in
its individual capacity. The Agent may (without
having to account therefor to any Bank) accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of banking, trust or other business with the
Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not
acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and
other consideration from the Borrower (in addition to
any agency fees and arrangement fees heretofore agreed
to between the Borrower and the Agent) for services in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Banks.

SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. Each Bank
severally agrees to indemnify the Agent, to the extent
the Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the
Borrower, ratably in accordance with its Commitment,
for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby (excluding, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the normal administrative
costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of
the terms hereof or thereof or any such other
documents; provided, however that no Bank shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they
arise from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct
of the Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent
for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call
for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence,
to do the acts indemnified against until such
additional indemnity is furnished.

SECTION 7.06 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THE
AGENT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY BANK,
THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY
BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY.

SECTION 7.07. Payee of Note Treated as
Owner. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof
unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent
and the provisions of Section 9.08(c) have been
satisfied. Any requests, authority or consent of any Person who

at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of that Note
or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor or
replacement thereof.

SECTION 7.08. Nonreliance on Agent and
Other Banks. Each Bank agrees that it has,
independently and without reliance on the Agent or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter
into this Agreement and that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank,
and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep
itself informed as to the performance or observance by
the Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or therein or to inspect the
properties or books of the Borrower or any other
Person. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrower or any
other Person (or any of their Affiliates) which may
come into the possession of the Agent.

SECTION 7.09. Failure to Act. Except for
action expressly required of the Agent hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act
hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive
further assurances to its satisfaction by the Banks of
their indemnification obligations under Section 7.05
against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by the Agent by reason of taking, continuing
to take, or failing to take any such action.

SECTION 7.10. Resignation or Removal of
Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may
resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the
Banks and the Borrower and the Agent may be removed at
any time with or without cause by the Required Banks.
Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Banks and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's notice of resignation or the Required
Banks' removal of the retiring Agent, then the
retiring Agent may, on

behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Agent. Any successor Agent shall be a bank
which has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this
Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION

SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining
Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to
the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent determines that deposits
in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not
being offered in the relevant market for such
Interest Period, or

(b) the Required Banks advise the Agent
that the London Interbank Offered Rate or IBOR,
as the case may be, as reasonably determined by
the Agent, will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Banks of funding Fixed
Rate Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent
notifies in reasonable detail the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Fixed Rate
Loans shall be suspended. After the Agent has
provided notice to the Borrower in connection with
this Section 8.01, unless the Borrower notifies the
Agent on or before the date of any such relevant Fixed
Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has
previously been given that it elects not to borrow on
such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, after the
date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule
or regulation, or any change in any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof (any such

agency being referred to as an "Authority" and any
such event being referred to as a "Change of Law"), or
compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Bank (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund
its Fixed Rate Loans and such Bank shall so notify the
Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof
in reasonable detail to the other Banks and the
Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the
Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Bank to make Fixed Rate Loans, as
the case may be, shall be suspended. Before giving
any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such
Bank shall designate a different Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for giving such
notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank
shall reasonably determine that it may not lawfully
continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding
Fixed Rate Loans, as the case may be, to maturity and
shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall
immediately prepay in full the then outstanding
principal amount of each Fixed Rate Loan, as the case
may be, of such Bank, together with accrued interest
thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Fixed
Rate Loan, as the case may be, the Borrower shall
borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount
from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall
be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed
Rate Loans, as the case may be, of the other Banks),
and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced
Return. (a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law
or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with
any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any Authority:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or its
Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge
with respect to its Loans, Notes, or its
obligation to make Loans, or shall change the
basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or
its Lending Office) of the principal of or
interest on its Loans or any other amounts due
under this Agreement in respect of its Loans or
its obligation to make Loans (except for changes
in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
such Bank or its Lending Office or franchise
taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such
Bank's principal executive office or Lending
Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but

excluding (A) with respect to any
Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included
in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage
and (B) with respect to any Foreign Currency
Loan any such requirement included in the
applicable Adjusted IBOR Rate) against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Bank (or its Lending
Office); or

(iii) shall impose on any Bank (or its
Lending Office) or on the United States market
or any interbank market any other condition
affecting its Loans, Notes, or its obligation to
make Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Bank (or its Lending Office) of
making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank
(or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under
its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount
reasonably determined by such Bank to be material,
then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a
copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Bank for such increased cost or
reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that
after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) or any
Person controlling such Bank with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any Authority, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Bank's or such controlling Person's capital as
a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Bank or such controlling Person
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or
such controlling Person's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably determined
by such Bank or such controlling Person to be
material, then from time to time, within 15 days after
demand by such Bank or such controlling Person, the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such
controlling Person for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will
entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this
Section and will designate a different Lending Office
if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of

such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming
compensation under this Section and setting forth in
reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to
be paid to it hereunder shall constitute rebuttable
presumptive evidence of the amounts to be paid in the
absence of manifest error. In determining such
amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.03
shall be applicable with respect to any Participant,
Assignee or other Transferee, and any calculations
required by such provisions shall be made based upon
the circumstances of such Participant, Assignee or
other Transferee and (ii) shall constitute a
continuing agreement and shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment in full or
cancellation of the Notes.

SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted
for Fixed Rate Loans. If (i) the obligation of any
Bank to make or maintain any Fixed Rate Loans has been
suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank
has demanded compensation under Section 8.03, and the
Borrower shall, by at least 5 Euro-Dollar Business
Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent,
have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank
notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer apply:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be
made by such Bank as Fixed Rate Loans shall be
made instead either (A) as Base Rate Loans, (B)
if such suspension or demand for compensation
relates to Euro-Dollar Loans, but not to Foreign
Currency Loans, as Foreign Currency Loans, or
(C) if such demand for compensation relates to
Foreign Currency Loans, but not Euro-Dollar
Loans, as Euro-Dollar Loans, as the Borrower may
elect in the notice to such Bank through the
Agent referred to hereinabove (in all cases
interest and principal on such Loans shall be
payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed
Rate Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans
or Foreign Currency Loans has been repaid, all
payments of principal which would otherwise be
applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall be
applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

SECTION 8.05. Compensation. Upon the
request of any Bank, delivered to the Borrower and the
Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount
or amounts as shall compensate such Bank for any loss,
cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of:

(a) any payment or prepayment (pursuant
to Section 2.10, 2.11, 6.01 or otherwise) of a Fixed
Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower to
borrow a Fixed Rate Loan on the date for the Fixed
Rate Borrowing of which such Fixed Rate Loan is a part
specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing
delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 or notification of
acceptance of Money Market Quotes pursuant to Section
2.03A(e) or 2.03B(e); or

such compensation to include, without limitation, as
applicable: (A) an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the amount so paid or prepaid or not
prepaid or borrowed for the period from the date of
such payment, prepayment or failure to prepay or
borrow to the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Fixed Rate Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to prepay or borrow, the Interest Period for
such Fixed Rate Loan which would have commenced on the
date of such failure to prepay or borrow) at the
applicable rate of interest for such Fixed Rate Loan
provided for herein over (y) the amount of interest
(as reasonably determined by such Bank) such Bank
would have paid on (i) deposits in Dollars of
comparable amounts having terms comparable to such
period placed with it by leading banks in the London
interbank market (if such Fixed Rate Loan is a
Euro-Dollar Loan), or (ii) (A) any deposit in a
Foreign Currency of comparable amounts having terms
comparable to such period placed with it by leading
banks in the applicable interbank market for such
Foreign Currency (if such Fixed Rate Loan is a Foreign
Currency Loan); or (B) any such loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Bank in liquidating or closing out
any foreign currency contract undertaken by such Bank
in funding or maintaining such Fixed Rate Loan (if
such Fixed Rate Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan).

SECTION 8.06. RESERVED.

SECTION 8.07. Failure to Pay in Foreign
Currency or Finnish Markkas. If the Borrower is
unable for any reason to effect payment in a Foreign
Currency or Finnish markkas as required by this
Agreement or if the Borrower shall default in the
Foreign Currency or Finnish markkas, each Bank (or
▇▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to Finnish markkas) may, through
the Agent, require such payment to be made in Dollars
in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such payment.
Without duplication of any amounts paid under Section
8.05, in any case in which the Borrower shall make

such payment in Dollars, the Borrower agrees to hold
the Banks harmless from any loss incurred by the Banks
arising from any change in the value of Dollars in
relation to such Foreign Currency or Finnish markkas
between the date such payment became due and the date
of payment thereof.

SECTION 8.08. Judgment Currency. If for
the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or
enforcing any such judgment it is necessary to convert
any amount due in any Foreign Currency or Finnish
markkas into any other currency, the rate of exchange
used shall be the Agent's spot rate of exchange for
the purchase of the Foreign Currency or Finnish
markkas with such other currency at the close of
business on the Foreign Currency Business Day
preceding the date on which judgment is given or any
order for payment is made. The obligation of the
Borrower in respect of any amount due from it
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or order
for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due
hereunder or under any judgment or order in any other
currency or otherwise be discharged only to the extent
that on the Foreign Currency Business Day following
receipt by the Agent of any payment in a currency
other than the relevant Foreign Currency or Finnish
markkas the Agent is able (in accordance with normal
banking procedures) to purchase the relevant Foreign
Currency (or Finnish markkas) with such other
currency. If the amount of the relevant Foreign
Currency or Finnish markkas that the Agent is able to
purchase with such other currency is less than the
amount due in the relevant Foreign Currency or Finnish
markkas, notwithstanding any judgment or order, the
Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for the shortfall.

shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or
delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note
or other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes.
The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses
of the Agent, including reasonable fees and
disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in
connection with the preparation of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, any waiver or consent
hereunder or thereunder or any amendment hereof or
thereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder or
thereunder, and (ii) if a Default occurs, all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each
Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in
connection with such Default and collection and other

transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or
charges made by any Authority by reason of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.04. Indemnification. The
Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Banks and each
affiliate thereof and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of
them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them
may become subject, insofar as such losses,
liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result
from any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the
proceeds of any extension of credit by any Bank
hereunder or breach by the Borrower of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or from any investigation,
litigation (including, without limitation, any actions
taken by the Agent or any of the Banks to enforce this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents) or other
proceeding (including, without limitation, any
threatened investigation or proceeding) relating to
the foregoing, and the Borrower shall reimburse the
Agent and each Bank, and each affiliate thereof and
their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents, upon demand for any expenses (including,
without limitation, legal fees) incurred in connection
with any such investigation or proceeding; but
excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or

expenses incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified.

SECTION 9.05 Setoff; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) The Borrower agrees that the Agent and each Bank
and each Affiliate of the Agent and each Bank shall
have a lien for all indebtedness and obligations owing
to them from the Borrower upon all deposits or deposit
accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits
or deposit accounts thereof, now or hereafter pledged,
mortgaged, transferred or assigned to the Agent or any
such Bank or Affiliate or otherwise in the possession
or control of the Agent or any such Bank or Affiliate
for any purpose for the account or benefit of the
Borrower and including any balance of any deposit
account or of any credit of the Borrower with the
Agent or any such Bank or Affiliate, whether now
existing or hereafter established hereby authorizing
the Agent and each Bank or Affiliate at any time or
times with or without prior notice to apply such
balances or any part thereof to such of the
indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to
the Banks and/or the Agent then past due and in such
amounts as they may elect, and whether or not the
collateral, if any, or the responsibility of other
Persons primarily, secondarily or otherwise liable may
be deemed adequate. For the purposes of this
paragraph, all remittances and property shall be
deemed to be in the possession of the Agent or any
such Bank or Affiliate as soon as the same may be put
in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other
bailee.

(b) Each Bank agrees that if it shall
(directly or through an Affiliate), by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, receive
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest owing with respect to any Note
held by it which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate
amount of all principal and interest owing with
respect to such Note held by such other Bank, the Bank
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall
purchase such participations in the Notes held by the
other Banks owing to such other Banks, and such other
adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that
all such payments of principal and interest with
respect to the Notes held by the Banks owing to such
other Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata;
provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall impair
the right of any Bank or Affiliate thereof to exercise
any right of setoff or counterclaim it may have and to
apply the amount subject to such exercise to the
payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its
indebtedness under the Notes, and (ii) if all or any
portion of such payment received by the purchasing
Bank is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Bank, such purchase from each other Bank shall be
rescinded and such other Bank shall repay to the
purchasing Bank the purchase

price of such participation to the extent of such recovery together
with an amount equal to such other Bank's ratable
share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount
of such other Bank's required repayment to (y) the
total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of
any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so
recovered. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent
it may effectively do so under applicable law, that
any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or
not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements,
may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and
other rights with respect to such participation as
fully as if such holder of a participation were a
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

SECTION 9.06. Amendments and Waivers. (a)
Any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but
only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is
signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if
the rights or duties of the Agent are affected
thereby, by the Agent); provided that, no such
amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all Banks,
(i) change the Commitment of any Bank or subject any
Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) change the
principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any
fees hereunder, (iii) change the date fixed for any
payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any
fees hereunder, (iv) change the amount of principal,
interest or fees due on any date fixed for the payment
thereof, (v) change the percentage of the Commitments
or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Notes, or the percentage of Banks, which shall be
required for the Banks or any of them to take any
action under this Section or any other provision of
this Agreement, (vi) change the manner of application
of any payments made under this Agreement or the
Notes, (vii) release or substitute all or any
substantial part of the collateral (if any) held as
security for the Loans, or (viii) release or reduce
the liability of the obligor under any Guarantee given
to support payment of the Loans; provided, further,
that this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents may be amended to give effect (x) to any
increased fees, interest rates and/or margins, or (y)
to reduce or rescind any such increases, if such
amendment is in writing and is signed by the Borrower,
the Agent, and the Required Banks.

(b) The Borrower will not solicit,
request or negotiate for or with respect to any
proposed waiver or amendment of any of the provisions
of this Agreement unless each Bank shall be informed
thereof by the Borrower and shall be afforded an
opportunity of considering the same and shall be
supplied by the Borrower with sufficient information
to enable it to make an informed decision with respect
thereto. Executed or true and correct copies of any
waiver or consent effected pursuant to the

provisions of this Agreement shall be delivered by the Borrower
to each Bank forthwith following the date on which the
same shall have been executed and delivered by the
requisite percentage of Banks. The Borrower will not,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or
additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Bank (in
its capacity as such) as consideration for or as an
inducement to the entering into by such Bank of any
waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement unless such remuneration is
concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to all
such Banks.

SECTION 9.07. No Margin Stock Collateral.
Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of
the other Banks that it in good faith is not, directly
or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise),
relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the
extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in
this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Successors and Assigns. (a)
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided that
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Agent and all of the Banks.

(b) Any Bank may at any time sell to one
or more Persons (each a "Participant") participating
interests in any Loan owing to such Bank, any Note
held by such Bank, any Commitment hereunder or any
other interest of such Bank hereunder. In the event
of any such sale by a Bank of a participating interest
to a Participant, such Bank's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall
remain solely responsible for the performance thereof,
such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower
and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. In no
event shall a Bank that sells a participation be
obligated to the Participant to take or refrain from
taking any action hereunder except that such Bank may
agree that it will not (except as provided below),
without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i)
the change of any date fixed for the payment of
principal of or interest on the related loan or loans,
(ii) the change of the amount of any principal,
interest or fees due on any date fixed for the payment
thereof with respect to the related loan or loans,
(iii) the change of the principal of the related loan
or loans, (iv) any change in the rate at which either
interest is payable thereon or (if the Participant is
entitled to any part thereof) fee is payable hereunder
from the rate at which the

Participant is entitled to receive interest or fee
(as the case may be) in respect of such participation,
(v) the release or substitution of all or any substantial
part of the collateral (if any) held as security for the Loans, or
(vi) the release of any Guarantee given to support
payment of the Loans; provided that such Bank may
agree (x) to any increase in the fees, interest rates
and/or margins, or (y) to the reduction or rescission
of any such increases. Each Bank selling a
participating interest in any Loan having a term in
excess of 1 year, Note, Commitment or other interest
under this Agreement shall, within 10 Domestic
Business Days of such sale, provide the Borrower and
the Agent with written notification stating that such
sale has occurred and identifying the Participant and
the interest purchased by such Participant. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect
to its participation in Loans outstanding from time to
time.

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to
one or more banks or financial institutions (each an
"Assignee") all, or, in the case of its Syndicated
Loans and Commitments, a proportionate part of all of
its Syndicated Loans and Commitments, of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and
the other Loan Documents, and such Assignee shall
assume all such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee,
such transferor Bank and the Agent (and, in the case
of an Assignee that is not then a Bank, by the
Borrower); provided that (i) no interest may be sold
by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph (c) unless the
Assignee shall agree to assume ratably equivalent
portions of the transferor Bank's Commitment, (ii) the
amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank subject
to such assignment (determined as of the effective
date of the assignment) shall be equal to $5,000,000
(or any larger multiple of $1,000,000), (iii) without
the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
no interest may be sold by a Bank pursuant to this
paragraph (c) to any Assignee that is not then a Bank
or an Affiliate of a Bank, except during the
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (iv)
a Bank may not have more than 2 Assignees that are not
then Banks at any one time. Upon (A) execution of the
Assignment and Acceptance by such transferor Bank,
such Assignee, the Agent and (if applicable) the
Borrower, (B) delivery of an executed copy of the
Assignment and Acceptance to the Borrower and the
Agent, (C) payment by such Assignee to such transferor
Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, and
(D) payment of a processing and recordation fee of
$2,500 to the Agent, such Assignee shall for all
purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall
have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under
this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an
original party hereto with a Commitment as set forth in such

instrument of assumption, and the transferor
Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder
to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or
action by the Borrower, the Banks or the Agent shall
be required. Upon the consummation of any transfer to
an Assignee pursuant to this paragraph (c), the
transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new
Notes are issued to such Assignee, and if applicable,
to the Assignor.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section
9.09, the Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to
any Participant, Assignee or other transferee (each a
"Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and
all financial information in such Bank's possession
concerning the Borrower which has been delivered to
such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
or which has been delivered to such Bank by the
Borrower in connection with such Bank's credit
evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement.

(e) No Transferee shall be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 than
the transferor Bank would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless
such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior
written consent or by reason of the provisions of
Section 8.02 or 8.03 requiring such Bank to designate
a different Lending Office under certain circumstances
or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to
such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Anything in this Section 9.08 to the
contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may assign and
pledge all or any portion of the Loans and/or
obligations owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or
the United States Treasury as collateral security
pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any
payment in respect of such assigned Loans and/or
obligations made by the Borrower to the assigning
and/or pledging Bank in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's
obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned
Loans and/or obligations to the extent of such
payment. No such assignment shall release the
assigning and/or pledging Bank from its obligations
hereunder.

SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality. Each Bank
agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to
keep any information delivered or made available by
the Borrower to it which is clearly indicated to be
confidential information, confidential from anyone
other than persons employed or retained by such Bank
who are or are expected to become engaged in
evaluating, approving, structuring or administering
the Loans; provided, however that nothing herein shall
prevent any Bank from

disclosing such information (i) to its Affiliates or any
other Bank, (ii) upon the order of any court or administrative
agency, (iii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory
agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Bank,
(iv) which has been publicly disclosed, (v) to the extent
reasonably required in connection with any litigation
to which the Agent, any Bank or their respective
Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent
reasonably required in connection with the exercise of
any remedy hereunder, (vii) to such Bank's legal
counsel and independent auditors and (viii) to any
actual or proposed Participant, Assignee or other
Transferee of all or part of its rights hereunder
which has agreed in writing to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 9.09; provided, that,
should disclosure of any such confidential information
be required by virtue of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, any relevant Bank
shall promptly notify the Borrower of same (unless
prohibited by such order or applicable law) so as to
allow the Borrower to seek a protective order or to
take any other appropriate action; provided, further,
that, no Bank shall be required to delay compliance
with any directive to disclose any such information so
as to allow the Borrower to effect any such action.

SECTION 9.10. Representation by Banks.
Each Bank hereby represents that it is a commercial
lender or financial institution which makes Loans in
the ordinary course of its business and that it will
make its Loans hereunder for its own account in the
ordinary course of such business; provided, however
that, subject to Section 9.08, the disposition of the
Note or Notes held by that Bank shall at all times be
within its exclusive control.

SECTION 9.11. Obligations Several. The
obligations of each Bank hereunder are several, and no
Bank shall be responsible for the obligations or
commitment of any other Bank hereunder. Nothing
contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the
Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute
the Banks to be a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts
payable at any time hereunder to each Bank shall be a
separate and independent debt, and each Bank shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and it
shall not be necessary for any other Bank to be joined
as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.

SECTION 9.12. Georgia Law. This Agreement
and each Note shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the law of the State of Georgia.

SECTION 9.13. Severability. In case any
one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest
extent permitted by law.

SECTION 9.14. Interest. In no event shall
the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or
under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest
allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such
payment is inadvertently made to any Bank by the
Borrower or inadvertently received by any Bank, then
such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal, unless the Borrower shall notify such Bank
in writing that it elects to have such excess sum
returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof
that the Borrower not pay and the Banks not receive,
directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever,
interest in excess of that which may legally be paid
by the Borrower under applicable law.

SECTION 9.15. Interpretation. No
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to
the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or
other governmental or judicial authority by reason of
such party having or being deemed to have structured
or dictated such provision.

SECTION 9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial;
Consent to Jurisdiction. THE BORROWER (A) AND EACH OF
THE BANKS AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY, (B) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, THE
COURTS THEREOF AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS
SITTING THEREIN, FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C)
WAIVES ANY AND ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW OF
ANY JURISDICTION TO OBJECT ON ANY BASIS (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCONVENIENCE OF FORUM) TO
JURISDICTION OR VENUE WITHIN THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR
THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT,
THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (D) AGREES
THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN THE
MANNER PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 9.01 FOR THE GIVING OF
NOTICE TO THE BORROWER. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED,
HOWEVER, SHALL PREVENT THE AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY
ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY SECURITY
AND AGAINST THE BORROWER PERSONALLY, AND AGAINST ANY
ASSETS OF THE BORROWER, WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE OR
JURISDICTION.

SECTION 9.17. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were
upon the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
have caused this Agreement to be duly executed, under
seal, by their respective authorized officers as of
the day and year first above written.

OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER

[Dated as provided in Section
3.01 of the Credit Agreement]

To the Banks and the Agent
Referred to Below
c/o Wachovia Bank, N.A.,
as Agent
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇
Attn: U.S. Corporate Group

Dear Sirs:

I am general counsel of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technologies, Inc., ("MTI") a
Delaware corporation (the "Borrower") in connection with the Credit Agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") dated as of July 30, 1997, among MTI, the banks listed
on the signature pages thereof and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as Agent. Terms defined
in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such
other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for
purposes of this opinion. I have assumed for purposes of my opinion set forth
below that the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by each Bank and
by the Agent have been duly authorized by each Bank and by the Agent.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. MTI is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and has all corporate powers
required to carry on its business as now conducted.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the Acquisition Agreements (i) are
within the Borrower's corporate powers, (ii)

have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, (iii) require no action by or in respect of, or
filing with, any governmental body, agency or official, except [insert
appropriate exceptions pertaining to the Acquisition] (iv) do not contravene,
or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation
or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or of any
agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument which to my
knowledge is binding upon the Borrower and (v) to my knowledge, except as
provided in the Credit Agreement, do not result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

3. Each of the Credit Agreement and the Acquisition Agreements
constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against
the Borrower in accordance with its terms, and the Notes constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by: (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

4. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding
pending, or threatened, against or affecting the Borrower before any court or
arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially
adversely affect the business, financial position or consolidated results of
operations of the Borrower or which in any manner questions the validity or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any Note or the Agreement, or the
Acquisition Agreements.

5. MTI is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6. MTI is not a "holding company", or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company", as such terms are defined in the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

I am qualified to practice in the State of Illinois and do not
purport to be an expert on any laws other than the laws of the United States and
the State of Illinois and Delaware Corporate Law and this opinion is rendered
only with respect to such laws. I have made no independent investigation of
the laws of any other jurisdiction.

This opinion is delivered to you in connection with the
transaction referenced above and may only be relied upon by you, any Assignee,
Participant or other Transferee under the Credit

Agreement, and ▇▇▇▇▇, Day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ without my prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

FOR THE AGENT

[Dated as provided in Section
3.01 of the Credit Agreement]

Dear Sirs:

We have participated in the preparation of the Credit Agreement
(the "Credit Agreement") dated as of July 30, 1997, among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Technologies, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks listed
on the signature pages thereof (the "Banks") and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as
Agent (the "Agent"), and have acted as special counsel for the Agent for the
purpose of rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Credit
Agreement. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein
defined.

This opinion letter is limited by, and is in accordance with, the
January 1, 1992 edition of the Interpretive Standards applicable to Legal
Opinions to Third Parties in Corporate Transactions adopted by the Legal Opinion
Committee of the Corporate and Banking Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia
which Interpretive Standards are incorporated herein by this reference.

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such
other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, and assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and each of the
Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower, we are of the

opinion that the Credit
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower and each
Note constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, in each case
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

In giving the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion as to the effect
(if any) of any law of any jurisdiction except the State of Georgia. We express
no opinion as to the effect of the compliance or noncompliance of the Agent or
any of the Banks with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the
Agent or any of the Banks by reason of the legal or regulatory status or the
nature of the business of the Agent or any of the Banks.

This opinion is delivered to you in connection with the transaction
referenced above and may only be relied upon by you and any Assignee,
Participant or other Transferee under the Credit Agreement without our prior
written consent.

Very truly yours,

FORM OF LIMITED GUARANTY

THIS LIMITED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty") is made as of
[___________________] by [Domestic Subsidiary] (the "Guarantor") in favor of
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, under the Credit Agreement
referred to below;

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Principal"), WACHOVIA BANK, N.A., as Agent (the "Agent"), and certain other
Banks from time to time party thereto have entered into a certain Credit
Agreement dated as of July 30, 1997, (as same may be amended or modified from
time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), providing, subject to the terms and
conditions thereof, for extensions of credit to be made by the Banks to the
Principal for the benefit of the Principal and of the Guarantor;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Agent and the Banks
executing the Credit Agreement that the Guarantor execute and deliver this
Guaranty whereby the Guarantor shall guarantee the payment when due of all
principal, interest and other amounts that shall be at any time payable by the
Principal under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents,
subject to the limitations contained in Section 3 hereof; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the financial and other support that
the Principal has provided, and such financial and other support as the
Principal may in the future provide, to the Guarantor (including, without
limitation, direct or indirect loans, advances and other financial
accommodations), and in order to induce the Banks and the Agent to permit such
loans, advances and other financial accommodations pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, the Guarantor is willing to guarantee the obligations of the
Principal under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents
as provided herein;

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

SECTION 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and
not otherwise defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings
provided for therein.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. If the Guarantor is a
Subsidiary, the Guarantor incorporates herein by reference as fully as if set
forth herein all of the representations and warranties pertaining to it as a
Subsidiary contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement (which
representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been renewed by the
Guarantor upon each Borrowing (except for Refunding Loans) under the Credit
Agreement which occurs while this Guaranty is in force and effect).

SECTION 3. The Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
jointly and severally with any other Guarantor under the Credit Agreement
guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on each Note
issued by the Principal pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the full and
punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Principal under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (all of the foregoing
obligations being referred to collectively as the "Guaranteed Obligations").
Upon failure by the Principal to pay punctually any such amount, the Guarantor
agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the
place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement, the relevant Note
or the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Guarantor shall have no liability hereunder for an amount in
excess of: (i) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all loans,
advances and other financial accommodations made to the Guarantor by the
Principal, directly or indirectly, at any time after the Closing Date, less
(y) all amounts repaid by the Guarantor thereon; plus (ii) interest on the
amount determined under clause (i) from the date due until the date paid at
the Default Rate; plus (iii) all costs of collection, including reasonable
attorneys fees.

SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute, except as expressly
limited by Section 3, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise,
waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Principal
under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Limited Guaranty or
any other Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise or any

obligation of any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to
the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Limited Guaranty or any
other Loan Document;

(iii) any release, nonperfection or invalidity of any
direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Principal
under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Limited Guaranty,
any Loan Document, or any obligations of any other Guarantor of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure
or ownership of the Principal or any other Guarantor of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Principal,
or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or its assets
or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the
Principal, or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights
which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Principal, any
other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent,
any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any
unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent
the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
counterclaim;

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or
against the Principal, or any other guarantor of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other Limited Guaranty, or
any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to
prohibit the payment by the Principal, or any other Guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations, of the principal of or interest on any
Note or any other amount payable by the Principal under the Credit
Agreement, the Notes, any other Limited Guaranty, or any other Loan
Document; or

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any
kind by the Principal, any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other
circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph,

constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the
Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full;
Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Guarantor's obligations
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments under the
Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired. If at any time any
payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount
payable by the Principal under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Principal or otherwise,
the Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall
be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such
time.

SECTION 6. Waiver of Notice by the Guarantor. The Guarantor
irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for
herein or in the Credit Agreement, as well as any requirement that at
any time any action be taken by any Person against the Principal, any
other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

SECTION 7. Other Waivers by the Guarantor. The Guarantor
hereby expressly waives, renounces, and agrees not to assert, any right,
claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for
reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification or otherwise, against the
Principal arising out of or by reason of this Guaranty or the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation,
the payment or securing or purchasing of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations by the Guarantor, provided such waiver shall be effective
only for so long as necessary to preclude the successful assertion of a
preferential avoidance action under section 547 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or similar or successor statute. The waiver,
renunciation and agreement contained in the immediately preceding
sentence is for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks and also for the
benefit of the Principal who may assert the benefits thereof as a
third-party beneficiary, and the Guarantor may be released from such
waiver, renunciation and agreement only by the execution and delivery,
by the Agent, the Required Banks and the Principal, of an instrument
expressly releasing the Guarantor therefrom.

SECTION 8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the
time for payment of any amount payable by the Principal under the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Principal, all such
amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be
payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent made
at the request of the Required Banks.

SECTION 9. Notices. All notices, requests and other
communications to any party hereunder shall be given or made by
telecopier or other writing and telecopied or mailed or delivered to the
intended recipient at its address or telecopier number set forth on the
signature pages hereof or such other address or telecopy number as such
party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the Agent in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Guaranty, all such communications
shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopier,
or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, 72 hours
after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class
postage prepaid, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

SECTION 10. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or
any Banks in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the
other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights
or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 11. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for
the benefit of the Agent and the Banks and their respective successors
and assigns and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable
under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or the other Loan Documents, the
rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so
assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty may
not be assigned by the Guarantor without the prior written consent of
the Agent and the Required Banks, and shall be binding upon the
Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 12. Changes in Writing. Neither this Guaranty nor
any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only in writing signed by the Guarantor and the Agent with
the consent of the Required Banks.

ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY
NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT
IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE
GUARANTOR AND THE AGENT EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 14. Taxes, etc. All payments required to be made by
the Guarantor hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other
charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political
or taxing authority as required pursuant to Section 2.11(d) of the
Credit Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to

SECTION 2. Pledge of Collateral. Borrower does hereby pledge,
hypothecate, assign, transfer, set over, deliver and grant a security interest
in and to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, in all (a)
instruments, including collections relating to such instruments representing
any and all indebtedness for money borrowed and from time to time owing from
[Foreign Subsidiary] (the "Subsidiary") to Borrower, together with all
proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, the

Pledged Note (which
original Pledged Note is simultaneously herewith being delivered to Agent,
accompanied by an endorsement to the Agent signed by Borrower), and (b)
capital stock owned by Borrower issued by the Subsidiary set forth and
described on Appendix "2" attached hereto (the certificates for such capital
stock are simultaneously herewith being delivered to Agent, accompanied by
blank stock powers signed by Borrower), together with any and all other
securities, cash or other property at any time and from time to time
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or
all of such pledged stock, and together with the proceeds thereof (the
"Pledged Stock") (hereinafter said property described in the foregoing clauses
(a) and (b) being collectively referred to as the "Collateral"), all as
security for the payment of the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 3. Holding of Collateral and Rights. (a) Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that the Agent shall hold the Collateral, together with all right,
title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental
thereto forever, subject, however, to return of the Collateral (or such
portion thereof as may be existing from time to time hereafter after giving
effect to the terms hereof) by the Agent to Borrower upon payment in full of
all the Secured Obligations and termination by the Banks in writing of any and
all credit commitments with respect thereto.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing: (i) Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock or any part thereof
for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that following request therefor by Agent, Borrower shall not exercise
or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Stock or any part thereof; and,
provided further, that Borrower shall give Agent at least ten days' written
notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise any such right; (ii)
Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
Borrower all such proxies and other instruments as Borrower may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling Borrower to exercise the voting and other
rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above; and
(iii) Borrower shall be entitled to receive and retain any cash dividends,
interest or any other distribution of property paid, payable or otherwise
distributed in cash in respect of the Pledged Stock. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of Borrower to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting

and other consensual rights; provided, however, Borrower
shall continue to have the rights to exercise such voting and other consensual
rights notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
until Agent delivers a notice to Borrower of its intention to exercise such
voting and other consensual rights.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower incorporates
herein by reference as fully as if set forth herein all of its representations
and warranties contained in Article IV of the Credit Agreement (which
representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been renewed by the
Borrower upon each Borrowing under the Credit Agreement).

SECTION 5. Delivery of Additional Instruments; Further Assurances. The
Borrower further covenants with the Agent that at the request of the Agent at
any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, the Borrower
will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, stock certificates
and documents, including any additional instruments evidencing indebtedness of
the Subsidiary to the Borrower, and take all further action that the Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the security interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise
and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral.

SECTION 6. Proceeds of Collateral. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive and
retain any proceeds in respect of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall receive and
hold all payments in respect of the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, and, at the request of the Agent, shall remit all such amounts to the
Agent for application to the Secured Obligations in such order as the Agent
(acting at the direction of the Required Banks) shall elect.

SECTION 7. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints the Agent as the Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the
Borrower or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, to take
any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem reasonably
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default to retain any dividend issued with respect to the Pledged Stock,
receive, endorse and collect the Pledged Note and all instruments made payable
to the Borrower representing any dividend, principal and/or interest payment
or

other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to
give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this
Agreement.

SECTION 8. The Agent May Perform. If the Borrower fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Agent may perform, or cause performance of,
such agreement, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by the Borrower under Section 11; provided, that, the Agent
shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior to
taking any such action (although the failure to so notify the Borrower shall
not limit the Agent's rights hereunder).

SECTION 9. Reasonable Care. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords the Agent's own
property, it being understood that the Agent shall not have responsibility for
(i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to maturities, notices or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed
to have knowledge of such matters, unless reasonably requested to do so by the
Borrower, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any Collateral.

SECTION 10. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing:

A. The Agent may exercise (in compliance with all applicable
laws) in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies
provided for herein or otherwise available to them, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect in the State of Georgia at that time, and the Agent may also, without
notice except as specified below at anytime during the existence of an Event
of Default, (i) make demand for payment on the Subsidiary in respect of the
Pledged Note, and (ii) sell (in compliance with all applicable securities
laws) the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any exchange, over the counter or at any of the Agent's
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially
reasonable or otherwise in such manner as necessary to comply with applicable
federal and state securities laws. The Agent shall be authorized at any such
sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders
or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
the Collateral for their own account for

investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Agent
shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers at any such sale and such purchasers shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Borrower, and the
Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. To the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, the Agent
shall give the Borrower at least 10 days' notice of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, which the
Borrower agrees shall constitute reasonable notification. At any such sale,
the Agent may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of
cancellation of Obligations) for and purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent 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. If sale of all or any part of the
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold
may be retained by the Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or
purchasers thereof, but the Agent shall not incur any liability in case any
such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral
so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again
upon like notice. The Borrower agrees that any sale of the Collateral
conducted by the Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10 shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable sale under O.C.G.A.
Section 1-9-504 of the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code. As an alternative to
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon them, the Agent may proceed
by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interest
granted under this Agreement and to sell the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.

B. Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash
proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon or any part of the Collateral following the occurrence
of an Event of Default may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the
Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied against
all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in such order of application as
the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Banks) shall select.

C. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Agent
and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be
paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus.

SECTION 11. Expenses. The Borrower will, upon demand, pay to the
Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel, actually incurred, and of any experts and
agents, and including any taxes or fees incurred on account of the execution,
issuance, delivery or recording of this Agreement or other documents executed
in connection herewith which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
(ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder,
or (iv) the failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.

SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent
hereunder, the security interest granted to the Agent hereunder, and all
obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of any of the following, and the Borrower expressly consents to
the occurrence of any of such events and waives, in its capacity as Borrower,
to the extent permitted by law, any defense arising therefrom:

A. any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

B. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Loan
Documents;

C. any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or
departure from any of the Loan Documents for all or any of the Secured
Obligations; or

D. any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the
Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Borrower herefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
the Agent and then such waiver

or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Agent preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other
remedies provided by law.

SECTION 15. Severability. If any provision of any of this Agreement or
the application thereof to any party hereto or circumstances shall be invalid
or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provisions to any other party thereto or circumstances
shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law.

SECTION 16. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopier or
similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address or telecopier
number set forth hereinbelow or at such other address or telecopier number as
such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to each other party
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall
be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopier, or
personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid,
addressed as aforesaid.

SECTION 17. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this
Agreement.

SECTION 18. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement shall be
construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by
any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party
having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such provision.

SECTION 19. The Agent Not Joint Venturer. Neither this Agreement nor
any agreements, instruments, documents or transactions contemplated hereby
shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making the Agent a
partner or joint venturer with the Borrower or as creating any similar
relationship or entity, and the Borrower agrees that it will not make any
contrary assertion, contention, claim or counterclaim in

any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving the Agent and the Borrower.

SECTION 20. Jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any legal action
or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the
State of Georgia or the United States of America for the Northern District of
Georgia, Atlanta Division, all as the Agent may elect. By execution of this
Agreement, the Borrower hereby submits to each such jurisdiction, hereby
expressly waiving whatever rights may correspond to it by reason of its
present or future domicile. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the
Agent to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower
in any other jurisdiction or to serve process in any manner permitted or
required by law.

SECTION 21. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
parties hereto.

SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which when fully executed shall be an original, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and

faith the specific procedures or requirements for compliance with
Environmental Requirements.
