of all accounts owed to Borrower by said account debtor are unpaid more than
ninety (90) days after the invoice dates thereof; (iii) such account would make
all accounts owing by said account debtor to Borrower aggregate more than fifty
percent (50%) of all accounts owed to Borrower by all account debtors; (iv) the
account debtor is a division, subsidiary, affiliate or employee of Borrower or
is any other person, corporation, partnership or other legal entity related
through common stock ownership or otherwise related directly or indirectly to

to realize such value to be insecure; (ix) the location of the account debtor to
which the goods generating the account were sent is outside the United States
and such account debtor has not provided to Borrower a letter of credit
satisfactory to Bank; (x) the goods generating the account have not been
delivered to the account debtor; or (xi) Bank, in its sole discretion,
determines in good faith that such account is ineligible.

in this Agreement, term loans (each such loan, a "Term Loan"). Each Term Loan,
if made, together with interest thereon and loan fees and commitment fees, as

the terms and conditions of a Commercial Promissory Note (such note, together
with any and all amendments thereto and renewals thereof, a "Term Note") made by

(b) REVOLVING LOANS. (i) WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT TO PROFESSIONAL
TRANSPORTATION GROUP LTD., INC. AND TIMELY NORTH, INC. Borrowers Professional
Transportation Group Ltd., Inc.("Professional") and Timely North, Inc. ("Timely
North") may from time to time request from Bank, and Bank in its discretion may
extend to Professional and Timely North, a working capital line of credit in the
maximum amount of up to an aggregate principal sum
-3-
4
outstanding equal to the face amount of an Amended, Restated and Consolidated
Commercial Revolving Note dated of even date herewith (said amount being
$9,000,000.00, and which note, together with any and all amendments thereto and
renewals thereof, are referred to as the "Revolving Note") made by Professional
and Timely North to the order of Bank and in form and substance satisfactory to
Bank (the "Maximum Sum"), which sum may, at Bank's discretion, be borrowed, and
which Professional and Timely North shall repay, together with interest thereon
and loan fees and commitment fees, as applicable, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Revolving Note or as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 15
of this Agreement, which shall evidence Professional's and Timely North's
obligation to repay each advance made under the line of credit, together with
such interest and fees, if applicable (each such advance a "Revolving Loan" and
all such advances collectively the "Revolving Loans"). Professional and Timely
North may borrow, repay, and reborrow a maximum aggregate amount of advances
outstanding under working capital Revolving Loans not to exceed the lesser of
the Maximum Sum or the Borrowing Base. If at any time the outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Note exceeds the Borrowing Base, Professional and
Timely North shall pay Bank immediately, without notice or demand, the amount of
such excess, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity, if not payable on
demand. Proceeds of the working capital line of credit Revolving Loans will be
used by Professional and Timely North solely for their working capital needs in
its present line of business and for only such other purposes as may be
specifically approved by Bank in writing. If requested to do so by Professional
or Timely North, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Bank agrees to issue one or more letters of credit for the account of
Professional and Timely North; provided, however, that (A) prior to the issuance
of each letter of credit Professional and Timely North shall execute and deliver
to Bank a letter of credit application and agreement (on Bank's standard form
therefor) for such letter of credit which shall specify the terms and conditions
of such letter of credit, (B) each letter of credit shall be in form and
substance mutually acceptable to Professional, Timely North and Bank, (C) prior
to the issuance of each letter of credit, Professional and Timely North shall
pay to Bank a non-refundable letter of credit fee therefor at the rate of 1.25%
per annum plus any other usual and customary fees and charges imposed by Bank in
the issuance of a letter of credit, (D) the sum of the aggregate stated amount
of all letters of credit then outstanding plus all then outstanding
reimbursement obligations under letter of credit agreements shall not exceed
$300,000 at any one time, (E) no letters of credit shall be issued on or after
the maturity of the Revolving Loans, (F) the proceeds of each Letter of credit
may be used only for a purpose for which Professional and Timely North would be
entitled to obtain a Revolving Loan hereunder, and (G) Professional's and Timely
North's reimbursement obligations to Bank for any and all amounts paid by Bank
with respect to any draw under any letter of credit shall constitute an
Obligation of Professional and Timely North to Bank which will be secured and
guaranteed on an equal priority basis with all other Obligations pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Professional and Timely North may obtain or Bank
may make a Revolving Loan hereunder in order to repay each reimbursement
obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Bank
shall not be obligated hereunder or under any letter of credit agreement to
issue any letter of credit if the sum of the aggregate principal balance of the
Revolving Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate stated amount of all letters
of credit then outstanding plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
all reimbursement obligations then outstanding exceeds, or would exceed with the
issuance of such letter of credit, the lesser of the Maximum Sum or the
Borrowing Base then in effect.
(ii) CAPITAL EXPENDITURE LINE OF CREDIT TO PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION GROUP
LTD., INC. Professional may from time to time request from Bank, and Bank in its
discretion may extend to Borrower, a capital expenditure line of credit in the
maximum amount of up to an aggregate principal sum outstanding equal to the face
amount of the Commercial Promissory Note dated November 19, 1997 (said amount
being $3,700,000.00, and which note, together with any and all amendments
thereto and renewals thereof, is referred to as the "Capital Expenditure Note"),
which sum may, at Bank's discretion, be borrowed, and which Professional shall
repay, together with interest thereon and loan fees and commitment fees, as
applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Capital
Expenditure Note, which shall evidence Borrower's obligation to repay each
advance made under the capital expenditure line of credit, together with such
interest and fees, if applicable (each such advance a "Revolving Loan" and all
such advances collectively the "Revolving Loans"). Proceeds of the capital
expenditure line of credit Revolving Loans will be used by Professional solely
for the purchase of new equipment (not to exceed 100% of the cost thereof as
evidenced by invoices or other documentary evidence acceptable to Bank), that
will be classified as a fixed asset on Professional's balance sheet, and for
only such other purposes as may be specifically approved by Bank in writing.
Each request for, and each acceptance of, an advance of any
-4-

Revolving Loans shall constitute a reaffirmation of the truth and accuracy of
the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the
Borrowing Base Certificate.
3. SECURITY. As security for the full payment and performance of the
Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns, conveys, and grants a security interest to
Bank in all property, real and personal, in which Borrower has an interest and
which is in or comes into the possession, control or custody of Bank (including,
but not limited to, balances, credits, deposits, accounts and monies), all
property in which Borrower has heretofore granted or hereinafter grants to Bank
a security interest or has heretofore conveyed or hereinafter conveys to Bank
security title to secure any obligation pursuant to each and every mortgage,
deed to secure debt, security agreement or other instrument, agreement or
document heretofore or hereinafter executed by Borrower in favor of Bank
(collectively the "Security Instruments"), and all proceeds and products of the
foregoing property and all books and records relating thereto and all property
of Borrower in which Bank has acquired or hereafter otherwise acquires a lien,
encumbrance or other right (all of the aforesaid property collectively the
"Collateral"), and Borrower hereby agrees that Bank may, at any time and without
notice, apply any balances, credits, deposits, accounts, monies or other
indebtedness now or hereafter owing by Bank to Borrower in satisfaction of any
of the Obligations, whether or not due.
4. CONDITIONS TO INITIAL REVOLVING LOAN AND EACH TERM LOAN. Bank shall not
be obligated to make the initial Revolving Loans, if applicable, or any Term
Loan, if applicable, unless:
(a) Each of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof have been
satisfied;
(b) Bank shall have received payment in full of all fees, charges, and
expenses due in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation,
any loan fees, commitment fees, service fees and attorneys' fees; and
(c) Bank shall have received all loan documentation deemed reasonably
necessary or desirable by Bank or its counsel, satisfactory in form and
substance to Bank, providing for the Loan to be extended, secured and
guaranteed. With regard to each capital expenditure line of credit Revolving
Loan, Bank shall receive a copy of the invoice for the equipment to be purchased
with the proceeds of the Revolving Loan, the serial number of the equipment, a
UCC-1 Financing Statement, and such other documentation as Bank shall require to
obtain and perfect a first priority purchase money security interest in the
equipment purchased with the proceeds of the Revolving Loan. No advance of the
capital expenditure line of credit Revolving Loan shall exceed 100% of the cost
of the equipment purchased.

in connection with the Loan and the representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date of the request for the

event that upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default shall have occurred, and there is no claim, action, suit or proceeding
pending or threatened against Borrower, or any other fact or circumstance, that

assets or result in a material adverse change in the business condition,
affairs, or operations of Borrower; and
(d) Bank, in its sole discretion, determines to make the Loan.

existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has
full right, power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted

agreement or other organizational documents, or any law, judgment, order or
ruling of any court or governmental agency, or (ii) be in conflict with, result
in a breach of, or constitute, following notice or lapse of time or both, a
default under any mortgage, indenture, security agreement, contract or other
instrument, agreement or undertaking to which any Obligor is a party or which

(d) This Agreement and each of the Loan Documents constitutes or will
constitute upon execution thereof the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
party executing the same, enforceable against it or him in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be subject to and limited by all applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, arrangement, reorganization and other laws
and equitable principles of general application affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors generally, and each Obligor possesses all permits,
memberships, franchises, contracts, licenses, trademark rights, trade names,

action, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened before any court or
administrative or governmental agency that may, individually or collectively,
materially adversely affect the financial condition or business operations of
any Obligor or any of its or their properties or assets or that questions the

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor does
Borrower know or have any reasonable grounds to know the basis for the
institution of such litigation, action, proceeding or investigation.

with any financial statement previously furnished to Bank, except as noted in
such statements. Since the date of those most recent financial statements of
each Obligor, there has been no material adverse change in the financial

liability or obligation, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, assertable
against such Obligor that is not reflected in its most recent financial
statements or in the notes thereto.

"prohibited transaction" has occurred with respect to any such "plan" (as all
quoted terms are defined in ERISA); no Obligor has incurred any material
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation established under ERISA in
connection with any "plan."
(i) Except as otherwise expressly disclosed by Borrower to Bank in
writing on the date of this Agreement, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, no

obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, the

however, that Borrower shall not be required to make any payment or to take any
other action pursuant to this subparagraph at any time while it shall be
currently contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings its obligations to

may perform any
-10-
11
agreement of Borrower hereunder which Borrower shall fail to perform and take
any other action which Bank deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation
of any of the Collateral or its interest therein, and Borrower agrees to
reimburse forthwith Bank for all reasonable costs and expenses of Bank in
connection with the foregoing, together with interest thereon from the date

lading, on drafts against customers, and notices to customers; to send

other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. Borrower hereby
waives notice of presentment, protest and dishonor of any instrument so
endorsed. All acts of said attorney-in-fact or designee are hereby authorized
and ratified, and said attorney-in-fact or designee shall not be liable for any
acts of omission or commission, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact
or law, unless resulting from Bank's gross negligence or intentional misconduct;
this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while the Obligations
remain outstanding.
11. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any one or
more Events of Default: Bank may terminate this Agreement and any obligations of
Bank to Borrower under any other agreement, document or instrument and may
declare the Obligations, notwithstanding any provisions thereof, without demand
or notice of any kind, immediately due and payable, whereupon the Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable and may be collected forthwith; Bank
shall have the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral without
notice or resort to legal process and without demand or notice of any kind to
set off and deduct the outstanding balance of the Obligations from sums, if any,
which now or hereafter may be owing by Bank to Borrower; and Bank may exercise
from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform
Commercial Code and other applicable law. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of
Bank of collection of the Obligations and enforcement of rights hereunder, and,
if collected by or through an attorney, fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid
Obligations as attorneys' fees and also other legal and court expenses.
Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any
other instrument evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the Obligations,
prior to the occurrence of any NONMONETARY Event of Default and the exercise of
any remedy granted in the Loan Documents following a NONMONETARY Event of
Default, including, without limitation the right to accelerate the maturity of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by any Security Instrument,
both of the following two (2) conditions shall have been satisfied: (a) Borrower
shall have received written notice of any event or condition which, if not
cured, will give rise to a NONMONETARY Event of Default ("default condition")
hereunder, which notice shall specify the default condition which will result in
a NONMONETARY Event of Default and set forth the requirements to cure such
default condition; and (b) Borrower shall have failed to cure such default
condition within ten (10) days following the receipt of said written notice;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE REQUIRED AS TO ANY MONETARY
EVENT OF DEFAULT.
12. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Each and every right, power or privilege granted to
Bank under the Loan Documents or available to Bank at law or in equity shall be
cumulative and may be exercised, and no delay in exercising any such right,
power or privilege shall impair any such right, power or privilege or be
construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. All
rights, powers and privileges granted to Bank hereunder shall be cumulative, and
shall not be exclusive of any other rights, powers and privileges granted to
Bank by the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or agreement, or
available at law or in equity. No single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right, power or
privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver by
Bank of any Event of Default hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any
subsequent Event of Default. No waiver shall be valid against Bank unless made
in writing and signed by Bank, and then only to the extent expressly specified
therein.
(b) All notices, demands and communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all
purposes if in a writing delivered personally to a party or to an officer of the
party to whom the same is directed, or if sent by first-class or certified mail,
postage and charges prepaid, addressed to such party at the following address,
or to such other address as shall be furnished in writing by any party to the

STATE OF GEORGIA AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION BASED ON VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION
INSTITUTED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH

BORROWER OR THE COLLATERAL IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BANK DEEMS

and assigns, and to any person to whom Bank may grant an interest in the
Obligations, and shall be binding upon Borrower and its or his respective heirs,

provided, however, that Borrower shall have no right to assign its rights or
obligations hereunder to any person or entity. Time is of the essence in the
payment and performance of every provision and covenant of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provisions in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may not be amended or
modified, and Borrower shall not take any action herein prohibited, or omit to
perform any action required to be performed by it, unless Borrower shall obtain
the prior written consent of Bank to such amendment, modification, action or
omission to act, and no course of dealing between Borrower and Bank shall
operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege granted under this
Agreement, under the other Loan Documents, or available at law or in equity.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between
Borrower and Bank regarding the Loan and the Collateral. Upon the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of any commitment letter
relating to the Loan shall be of no further force or effect. NO ORAL
REPRESENTATIONS OR STATEMENTS SHALL BE BINDING ON BANK, AND NO AGENT OF BANK HAS
THE AUTHORITY TO VARY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT IN WRITING ON THE FACE
HEREOF OR ON A SEPARATE PAGE ATTACHED HERETO. If any provision of this Agreement
conflicts or is inconsistent with any provision of the Note, the provisions of
the Note shall control.
(e) Borrower, for itself, its heirs, personal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Bank and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and its
stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses,
damages, suits and judgments (including, without limitation, liability under
CERCLA, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other
environmental laws and regulations, and costs of defense and attorneys' fees)
resulting from any representation or warranty made by Borrower or on Borrower's
behalf pursuant to Section 7(m) of this Agreement having been false when made,
or resulting from Borrower's breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section
8(n) or Section 9(k) of this Agreement. This
-12-

of the Obligations and termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.
