(f)The right at any time or times, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand) held by Bank for Borrower’s account against any of the Loan Indebtedness, irrespective of whether or not Bank has made any demand under the this Agreement;

(h)The right to act as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact (and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact), in Borrower’s or Bank’s name, but at Borrower’s cost and expense, to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower pertaining to any of the Collateral, to notify postal authorities to change the address and delivery of mail to Borrower to such address as Bank may designate, to sign Borrower’s name on any bill of lading constituting or relating to any Collateral, to send verifications with respect to the Collateral, to execute in Borrower’s name any affidavits or notices with regard to any all Lien rights and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement or to discharge any obligation of Borrower hereunder, this power, being coupled with an interest, is to be irrevocable so long as any Loan Indebtedness is outstanding.

B-26

11.WAIVERS.

Borrower waives notice of Bank’s acceptance hereof.  Borrower hereby waives any requirement on the part of Bank to post any bond or other security as a condition to Bank’s right to obtain an immediate writ of possession with respect to any Collateral.  Bank shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or remedies hereunder or any Event of Default unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Bank.  No delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion.

13. INDEMNIFICATION.

Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Bank and hold Bank harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or incurred by Bank as the result

B-27

of Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge Borrower’s duties hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any claims asserted against Bank by any Person under any environmental laws.  If any taxes, fees or other charges shall be payable by Borrower or Bank on account of the execution, delivery or recording of any of the Loan Documents or any loans outstanding hereunder, Borrower will pay (or reimburse Bank’s payment of) all such taxes, fees or other charges, including any applicable interests and penalties, and will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against liability in connection therewith.  The indemnity obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Loan Indebtedness.

16. ARBITRATION.

ANY CONTROVERSY ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED BY ARBITRATION IN THE CITY AGREED UPON BY BORROWER AND BANK.  IF BORROWER AND BANK FAIL TO SO AGREE, THEN SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL TAKE PLACE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.  ARBITRATION SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION.  THE DISPUTE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY AN ARBITRATOR ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH PARTIES WHO SHALL BE SELECTED WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OF FILING OF NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ARBITRATE. OTHERWISE, THE DISPUTE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY A PANEL OF THREE ARBITRATORS SELECTED AS FOLLOWS:  WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OF FILING NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY WILL APPOINT ONE ARBITRATOR, WHO SHALL BE AN ATTORNEY ADMITTED BEFORE THE BAR OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES (BUT NEITHER SUCH ATTORNEY NOR ANY FIRM WITH WHICH SUCH ATTORNEY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING FIVE YEARS SHALL HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY SUCH PARTY DURING THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING FIVE YEARS).  THESE TWO ARBITRATORS WILL THEN NAME A THIRD ARBITRATOR, WHO SHALL ALSO BE

[DATE]	[$                         ]
	Atlanta, Georgia

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, [                        , a                                                ] (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of SUNTRUST BANK,  a Georgia banking corporation (the “Bank”), at Bank’s principal office in Atlanta, Georgia, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate by notice in writing to Borrower, in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, on the Maturity Date, as set forth in that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between the Borrower and Bank (the “Loan Agreement”), the lesser of (i) principal sum of                                                           AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($                        ), or (ii) so much thereof as shall have been from time to time disbursed hereunder in accordance with the Loan  Agreement and not theretofore repaid, as shown on the records of the Bank.

In addition to principal, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the principal amounts disbursed hereunder from time to time from the date of each disbursement until paid at such rates of interest per annum and upon such dates as provided for in the Loan Agreement.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof up to and through the date on which all principal and interest hereunder is paid in full, and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.  Such interest is to be paid to Bank at its address set forth above or as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement.  For informational purposes, as of the date hereof the Prime Rate in effect is       % per annum, thus producing an initial interest rate under the Loan Agreement on such date of       % per annum.  Any principal amount due under this Master Line of Credit  Note (the “Note”) that is not paid on the due date therefor whether on the Maturity Date, or resulting from the acceleration of maturity upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), shall bear interest from the date due until payment in full at the Default Rate, as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement.

This Note evidences a loan incurred pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement to which reference is hereby made for a full and complete description of such terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the existence or occurrence of certain conditions or events, and the terms of

any permitted prepayments hereof.  All capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Upon the existence or occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal and all accrued interest hereof shall automatically become, or may be declared, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement.  In addition, this Note is subject to mandatory prepayment upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

Bank shall at all times have a right of set-off against any deposit balances of Borrower in the possession of the Bank and the Bank may apply the same against payment of this Note or any other indebtedness of Borrower to the Bank, irrespective of whether or not Bank has made any demand under the Loan Agreement.  The payment of any indebtedness evidenced by this Note prior to the Maturity Date shall not affect the enforceability of this Note as to any future, different or other indebtedness incurred hereunder by the Borrower.  In the event the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is collected by legal action or through an attorney-at-law, the Bank shall be entitled to recover from Borrower all costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees if collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

Borrower acknowledges that the actual crediting of the amount of any disbursement under the Loan Agreement to an account of Borrower or recording such amount in the records of the Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute presumptive evidence of such disbursement and that such Advance was made and borrowed under the Loan  Agreement.  Such account records shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, presumptive evidence of principal amounts outstanding and the payments made under the Loan Agreement at any time and from time to time, provided that the failure of Bank to record in such account the type or amount of any Advance shall not affect the obligation of the undersigned to repay such amount together with interest thereon in accordance with this Note and the Loan Agreement.

Failure or forbearance of Bank to exercise any right hereunder, or otherwise granted by the Loan Agreement or by law, shall not affect or release the liability of Borrower hereunder, and shall not constitute a waiver of such right unless so stated by Bank in writing.  THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATION HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF THE SATE OF GEORGIA.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS NOTE.

PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, NOTICE OF DISHONOR AND PROTEST ARE HEREBY WAIVED.

In addition to principal, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the principal amounts at such rates of interest per annum and upon such dates as provided for in the Loan Agreement.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof up to and through the date on which all principal and interest hereunder is paid in full, and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.  Such interest is to be paid to Bank at its address set forth above or as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement.  For informational purposes, as of the date hereof the Prime Rate in effect is         % per annum, thus producing an initial interest rate under the Loan Agreement on such date of         % per annum.  Any principal amount due under this Master Term Note (the “Note”) that is not paid on the due date therefor whether on the due date, or resulting from the acceleration of maturity upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), shall bear interest from the date due until payment in full at the Default Rate, as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement.

This Note evidences a loan incurred pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement to which reference is hereby made for a full and complete description of such terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the existence or occurrence of certain conditions or events, and the terms of any permitted prepayments hereof.  All capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Upon the existence or occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal and all accrued interest hereof shall automatically become, or may be declared, due and payable in the

A-4

manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement.  In addition, this Note is subject to mandatory prepayment upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

Bank shall at all times have a right of set–off against any deposit balances of Borrower in the possession of the Bank and the Bank may apply the same against payment of this Note or any other indebtedness of Borrower to the Bank, irrespective of whether or not Bank has made any demand under the Loan Agreement.  The payment of any indebtedness evidenced by this Note prior to the Maturity Date shall not affect the enforceability of this Note as to any future, different or other indebtedness incurred hereunder by the Borrower.  In the event the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is collected by legal action or through an attorney-at-law, the Bank shall be entitled to recover from Borrower all costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees if collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

Borrower acknowledges that the actual crediting of the amount of any disbursement under the Loan Agreement to an account of Borrower or recording such amount in the records of the Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute presumptive evidence of such disbursement.  Such account records shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, presumptive evidence of principal amounts outstanding and the payments made under the Loan Agreement at any time and from time to time, provided that the failure of Bank to record in such account the type or amount of any advance shall not affect the obligation of the undersigned to repay such amount together with interest thereon in accordance with this Note and the Loan Agreement.

Failure or forbearance of Bank to exercise any right hereunder, or otherwise granted by the Loan Agreement or by law, shall not affect or release the liability of Borrower hereunder, and shall not constitute a waiver of such right unless so stated by Bank in writing.  THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATION HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF THE SATE OF GEORGIA.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS NOTE.

PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, NOTICE OF DISHONOR AND PROTEST ARE HEREBY WAIVED.
