RECITALS
WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower are parties to that certain Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of March 20, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which
Lender has agreed to make one or more loans from time to time to the Borrower in
accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to modify the Loan Agreement in certain
respects in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the covenants and
agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender do
hereby agree that all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement as amended hereby (except as otherwise
expressly defined or limited herein) and do hereby further agree as follows:
1. AMENDMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT. Subject to the fulfillment of the
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment which are set forth
below, Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting from
Section 1.1 the term "Revolving Credit Facility Expiration Date" and by
substituting in lieu thereof the following new definition of such term:

2000 (as such date may be extended, accelerated or amended
from time to time pursuant to this Agreement).
2. NO OTHER AMENDMENTS. Except for the amendments expressly set forth
and referred to in Section 1 above, the Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged
and in full force and effect. Nothing in this Amendment or any of the other
Supplemental Credit Documents (as defined below) is intended, or shall be
construed, to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the
Obligations or to modify, affect or impair the perfection or continuity of
Lender's security interests in, security titles to or other Liens on any
Collateral for the Obligations.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce Lender to enter into this
Amendment, the Borrower does hereby warrant, represent and covenant to Lender
that: (a) each representation or warranty of the Borrower set forth in the Loan
Agreement is hereby restated and reaffirmed as true and correct on and as of the
date hereof as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the
date hereof (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty
expressly relates to a prior specific date or period), and no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing as of this date under the Loan
Agreement as amended by this Amendment; and (b) each of the Borrower, Datasouth,
the Partnership and the Purchaser has the power and is duly authorized to enter
into, deliver and perform the Supplemental Credit Documents to which it is a
party, and each of the Supplemental Credit Documents is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each Credit Party enforceable against such Credit Party in
accordance with its terms.

and thereby.

effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments provided in Section 1 above
are subject to the truth and accuracy in all material respects of the
representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Section 3 above and
