(iv) In the event that the Participant's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any reason, the Participant (or the Participant's estate) shall be entitled to exercise the Options which have become Vested Options as of the date of termination until the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be "Disabled" if the Participant becomes incapacitated by bodily injury or disease (including as a result of mental illness) so as to be unable to regularly perform the duties of his position for a period in excess of 180 days in any consecutive twelve-month period. (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means any of the following: 1. a reduction in the Participant's title or responsibilities with the Company, or if he is required to report to any person other than the full Board; 2. any reduction in any compensation or fringe benefits provided by the Company; 3. any breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other material agreement between the Company and the Participant; 4. any requirement that the Participant, without his consent, perform his services for the Company from other than his residence in Austin, Texas or another location in the Austin, Texas area.

The Option Price may also be payable by a customary "cashless" exercise procedure through a broker or in such other form as the Committee may approve. (g) Shareholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option until a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall have been issued to the Participant, and, except as provided in Section 6, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of any share for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record thereof. (h) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company shall, on or prior to the date on which an Option becomes exercisable, use its best efforts to (A) file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 with respect to the Common Shares subject to such Option and cause such registration statement to be declared effective and remain effective for so long as any Option remains outstanding and (B) qualify such Common Shares under applicable state "blue sky" laws (or determine that an exemption under such blue sky laws is available) and cause such Common Shares to remain so qualified (or exempt) for so long as any Option remains outstanding.

Representations and Warranties.

Miscellaneous. (a) Tax Withholding. The Company and its subsidiaries shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company, prior to the delivery of any certificates evidencing Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, any amount sufficient to satisfy any minimum federal, state or local tax withholding requirements. Prior to the Company's determination of such withholding liability, the Participant shall have the right to make an irrevocable election to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit taxes by directing the Company to withhold Common Shares that would otherwise be received by the Participant. (b) No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. Subject to Section 6, this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital structure or business of the Company, or any 4 7 merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Shares or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 6. Adjustment. The number and price per Common Share covered by any Option, and any other rights under any Option, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, to reflect any subdivision (stock split) or consolidation (reverse split) of the issued Common Shares, or any other recapitalization of the Company, or any business combination or other transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, rights offerings and issuances of securities for consideration that is less than the fair market value thereof), which shall affect the rights of holders of Common Shares. The Committee or the Board, as the case may be, shall provide for appropriate adjustment of the Options in the event of stock dividends or distributions of assets or securities owned by the Company to its stockholders. Without limiting the foregoing, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 shall (i) be on terms that are no less favorable to the Participant than those applicable to any other holder of stock options or convertible securities issued by the Company and (ii) entitle the Participant to receive, upon exercise of the Options, in addition to the Common Shares that remain subject to such Options, such stock, securities, other property and rights that the Participant, as a holder of Common Shares, would have received if such Options had been exercised prior to the date of the applicable event or transaction described in this Section 6. 7. Survival; Assignment. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in any certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the issuance to the Participant of the Options and the Common Shares and, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Participant or the Company or on the Participant's or the Company's behalf, shall continue in full force and effect. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Participant may not assign any of his rights hereunder except as permitted by Section 2. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the heirs and permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all agreements herein by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Participant, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs and permitted successors and assigns of such parties hereto. 8. Gross-Up Payment(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary or any termination of the Options notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution or benefit received or to be received by the Participant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other payment or distribution or benefit made or provided by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, to or for the benefit of the Participant (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any 5 8 interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income and employment taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the sum of (x) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and (y) the product of any deductions actually disallowed under Section 68 of the Code solely as a direct result of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in the Participant's adjusted gross income and the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. (ii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8(i) and 8(iii), all determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company's certified public accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Participant or the Company that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to the Participant within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(iii) and the Participant thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant. (iii) The Participant shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Participant is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Participant shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Participant gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the 6 9 Company notifies the Participant in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Participant shall: (a) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; (b) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; and (c) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income and employment tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(iii), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Participant to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Participant shall agree to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Participant to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Participant, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income and employment tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Participant with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Participant shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue (an "Other Issue") raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority; provided, however, that if, solely as a result of any contest by the Company pursuant to this Section 8(iii), the Participant's ability to settle or otherwise resolve any such Other Issue is delayed, then the Company will reimburse the Participant, on an after-tax basis, for any additional interest incurred by the Participant as a result of such delay. (iv) If, after the receipt by the Participant of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(iii), the Participant becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Participant shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 8(iii) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by 7 10 the Participant of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(iii), a determination is made that the Participant shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Participant in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 9. Severance; Consulting Engagement. In the event that the Participant terminates his employment with the Company and its subsidiaries with Good Reason or the Company terminates the employment of the Participant without Cause, the Company shall pay to the Participant, in lieu of any other cash severance provided for in any other agreement, an amount equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary, if any, less applicable withholding taxes pursuant to the Company's customary payroll practices, which amount shall be due in full within 5 days of such termination. In the event that the Participant terminates his employment with the Company and its subsidiaries without Good Reason after March 12, 2000 but prior to September 12, 2003, the Participant shall, at the request of the Company, make himself available to provide consulting and advisory services (the "Consulting Services") to the Company during the period beginning on the date of termination and ending on September 12, 2003; provided, however, that such Consulting Services shall be performed at such times and places as are acceptable to the Participant in his sole discretion. The Participant shall not be entitled to receive any additional compensation for the Consulting Services. 10. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Participant, to his attention at the most recent mailing address that the Company has on record and, if to the Company, to it at 3399 Peachtree Street NE, 400 The Lennox Building, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, Attention: General Counsel. All such notices shall be conclusively deemed to be received and shall be effective, if sent by hand delivery, upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail, on the fifth day after the day on which such notice is mailed. 11. Waiver. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement. 12. Source of Rights. This Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive source of any and all rights which the Participant, and the Participant's personal representatives or heirs at law, may have in respect of the Options as granted hereunder. 13. Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 14. Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. The headings of 8 11 sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to the choice of law provisions of Delaware law) applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed within such State, and the State or Federal court sitting in Travis County, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction of the Company and the Participant for purposes of adjudicating any disputes under this Agreement. The Participant and the Company hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in the State or Federal court sitting in Travis County, Texas and hereby waive any claim or defense that the party lacks minimum contacts with the forum, that such State or Federal court lacks personal jurisdiction of the parties, or that such State or Federal court is an improper or inconvenient venue. 9 12 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer and the Participant has executed this Agreement, both as of the day and year first above written.

During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the end of the Restrictive Period, Long shall not directly or indirectly without the express written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, solicit any customer, or any person or entity who is reasonably expected to become a customer of the Companies or any entity the equity of which is owned at least 40% by the Company or any of the Companies (an "Affiliate") for any commercial pursuit which is a Competitive Business. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the end of the Restrictive Period, Long shall not directly or indirectly solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employees, agents, or consultants of the Company, the Companies or their Affiliates to leave the employ of the Company, the Companies or their Affiliates or to do anything from which Long is restricted by reason of this letter agreement, nor shall Long, directly or indirectly, offer or aid others to offer employment to or interfere or attempt to interfere with any employees, agents or consultants of the Companies or their Affiliates. 5. Construction. Long hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees as follows: 2 15 (A) the covenants set forth in Sections 2 through 4 above are reasonable in all respects and are necessary to protect the legitimate business and competitive interests of the Company; and (B) The provisions of this Exhibit B shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware (other than the choice of law provisions of Delaware law). In the event that any provision of this Exhibit B shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof of such covenant, or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Exhibit B and the provision shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis on which such provisions have been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable. 6. Enforcement; Remedies. Long covenants, agrees and recognizes that because the breach of the covenants, or any of them, contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Long from any violation of Sections 2 through 4 to the fullest extent allowed by law. Long further covenants and agrees that in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, the period during which Long is obligated to refrain from competing shall be extended for the entire period of such breach. Long further covenants, agrees and recognizes that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, which remains uncured 30 days after written notice from the Company, further vesting with respect to the Current Options shall cease. The Company's entitlement to seek injunctive relief or ceasing any further Current Option vesting, as described in this Section 6, shall be the Company's sole and exclusive remedy in the event that Long breaches any covenant or agreement contained in this Exhibit A; provided, however, that in the case of any willful material breach by Long of the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to it for any such breach, including the recovery of damages from Long. 3
