     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation divides the Board of Directors
into two classes, the "Class A/B Directors" and the "Class B Directors," with

on the aggregate percentage ownership of all outstanding Common Stock held by
Gregg L. Engles, Joseph P. Urso, Todd W. Follmer, and their respective
affiliates (the "EUF Holders") and Onyx Talton Partners, L.P. and Sachs
Investment Partners and their respective affiliates (the "Onyx Holders").

     The size of the Company's Board of Directors is currently ten members, with
the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to
elect six Class A/B Directors and the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled
exclusively to elect five Class B Directors. The Class A/B Directors are Richard
H. Hochman, Jay R. Levine, Nina E. McLemore, Bruce I. Raben, and Julius E.
Talton. The Class B Directors are Gregg L. Engles, Todd W. Follmer, David A.
Sachs, Roger K. Sallee, and Joseph P. Urso.

     Each Class A/B Director is entitled, at all times, to one vote on any
matter voted on by the Board of Directors. The number of votes that each Class B
Director is entitled to on any matter voted on by the Board of Directors depends
on the aggregate percentage ownership of all outstanding Common Stock held by
the EUF Holders and the Onyx Holders. Each Class B Director is currently
entitled to a 0.6 director vote on any matter voted on by the Board of
Directors, resulting in the Class B Directors having an aggregate of three (3)
director votes as a class. As the EUF Holders' and the Onyx Holders' ownership
of the outstanding Common Stock decreases, the number of Class B Directors that
the EUF Holders have the right to designate, the aggregate number of votes held
by the remaining Class B Directors, and the size of the Company's Board of
Directors decrease (and the number of Class A/B Directors increases), all as set
forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and the Shareholders
Agreement (as defined). Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and
the Shareholders Agreement, the total number of votes on the Board of Directors
will remain at nine.

(1)  The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price appreciation
     are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
     actual value, if any, that an executive officer may realize will depend on
     the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the
     option is exercised. There is no assurance the value realized by an
     executive officer will be at or near the assumed 5% or 10% levels.

(2)  Options expired upon the resignations of Mr. Whipple and Mr. Cushman.

Aggregated Option Exercises in 1999 and Year-End Option Values

     During 1999, none of the Named Executive Officers exercised any options.

Employment Agreements and Other Arrangements

     Terry C. Matlack joined the Company as interim Chief Executive Officer in
April 2000. Mr. Matlack's letter of employment provides that Mr. Matlack
receives an annual base salary of $210,000 and will be entitled to three months
severance if terminated by the Company. Mr. Matlack is also eligible to receive
a bonus of up to $450,000 in 2000 if certain objectives are achieved. Pursuant
to his letter of employment, Mr. Matlack was awarded options to purchase 500
shares of Common Stock at a per share price of $2,000. 200 of these options
immediately vested and the remainder vest over a twelve month period.

     Donald B. Vaello joined the Company as Chief Operating Officer in June
1998. Mr. Vaello became President and Chief Operating Officer in April 2000. The
Company entered into a written employment agreement with Mr. Vaello on July 26,
1998 which was amended on April 15, 2000. The initial term expires on March 31,
2003, with successive one-year renewals thereafter unless notice is given by
either party not less than 90 days immediately preceding the commencement of the
renewal period. Mr. Vaello receives an annual base salary of $275,000. Mr.
Vaello is also eligible for an annual bonus generally equal to an additional
amount up to 100% of his base salary based upon achieving pre-determined
performance objectives. This bonus may be in excess of such amount in the event
such objectives are exceeded. In addition, in 1999 and 1998, Mr. Vaello received
options to purchase 50 shares and 200 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at a
price of $2,000 per share. In conjunction with the April 2000 contract
amendment, Mr. Vaello will be awarded options to purchase an additional 100
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a strike price equal to the fair value
of the stock as of the grant date. The employment agreement provides for a
severance payment equal to one year's base salary if Mr. Vaello is

                                       8

terminated by the Company without cause. The employment agreement also contains
non-competition provisions that cover the Company's existing markets and
expansion markets that apply during the term of the agreement and for a period
of one year after the expiration or earlier termination of the agreement.

     Keith S. Kelson joined the Company as Vice President of Finance in April
1998 and was appointed Chief Financial Officer in March 2000. Mr. Kelson's offer
letter specifies that he is eligible for an annual bonus generally equal to an
additional amount up to 40% of his base salary based upon pre-determined
performance objectives. This bonus may actually be in excess of such amount in
the event such objectives are exceeded. The offer letter provides for a
severance payment equal to one year's base salary if Mr. Kelson is terminated by
the Company without cause.

     Dennis L. Whipple joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer in
September 1998. The Company entered into a written employment agreement with Mr.
Whipple that had an initial term expiring on December 31, 2001, with successive
one-year renewals thereafter unless notice was given by either party not less
than 90 days immediately preceding the commencement of the renewal period. Mr.
Whipple received an annual base salary of $300,000, and was entitled to receive
a guaranteed bonus of $150,000 for 1999. Mr. Whipple's target annual bonus was
100% of his base salary and could be earned upon the achievement of pre-
determined performance objectives. This bonus could actually be in excess of
such amount, up to a maximum of 200% of Mr. Whipple's base salary, in the event
such objectives were exceeded. The 200% bonus cap would also be increased by
$150,000 if the Company entered into meaningful discussions with certain
acquisition targets and the Company achieved certain operating results. Mr.
Whipple received a $750,000 bonus for 1999. In addition, in 1998 and 1999, Mr.
Whipple received options to purchase 500 shares and 125 shares respectively, of
Common Stock at a per share price of $2,000, subject to certain vesting
requirements. If Mr. Whipple was terminated by the Company without cause, the
employment agreement provided for a severance payment equal to the cash
compensation paid by the Company to Mr. Whipple in the year prior to the year in
which his employment was terminated or not extended, with the exception of 1999,
in which Mr. Whipple would receive a severance payment of $1.2 million if
terminated without cause. The employment agreement contained non-competition
provisions that covered the Company's existing markets and expansion markets
that applied during the term of the agreement and for a period of one year after
the expiration or earlier termination of the agreement. Mr. Whipple resigned
effective April 2000.

     Jeffrey D. Cushman joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer in
November 1997. The Company entered into a written employment agreement with Mr.
Cushman that was amended in November 1998. The agreement had an initial term
expiring on December 31, 1999, with successive one-year renewals thereafter
unless notice is given by either party not later than 90 days immediately
preceding the commencement of the renewal period. Mr. Cushman received an annual
base salary of $168,000 and a one-time guaranteed bonus of $85,000, $35,000 of
which was paid in June 1998, and the remaining $50,000 of which was paid in
February 1999. Mr. Cushman's target annual bonus was 50% of his base salary and
was earned upon the achievement of pre-determined performance objectives. The
bonus could actually be in excess of such amount, up to a maximum of 100% of Mr.
Cushman's base salary, in the event such objectives are exceeded. In addition,
in 1999 Mr. Cushman received options to purchase 35 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $2,000 per share. If Mr. Cushman was terminated by the Company without
cause, the employment agreement provided for a severance payment equal to the
cash compensation paid by the Company to Mr. Cushman in the calendar year prior
to the calendar year in which his employment is terminated or not extended. The
employment agreement also contained non-competition provisions that cover the
Company's existing markets and expansion markets that apply during the term of
the agreement and for a period of one year after the expiration or earlier
termination of the agreement, provided that the one year period would be
extended for an additional year in the event that Mr. Cushman, rather than the
Company, terminated the employment agreement. Mr. Cushman resigned in January
2000.

     Stock Option Plans

     The Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") has been
established to provide the officers and employees of the Company a strong
incentive to contribute to the success of the Company by granting them options
to acquire Common Stock. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee for the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee
has the authority to determine the persons employed by the Company who are to be
granted options under the Stock Option Plan, the number of shares subject to
each option, the date of the grant of each option, the option exercise price,
whether the option granted is to be treated as an incentive stock option or a
non-statutory stock option, the vesting period, and such other determinations as
may be appropriate or necessary for the administration of the Stock Option Plan.

     Only employees of the Company may be granted options under the Stock Option
Plan. The option exercise price of each option granted under the Stock Option
Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Stock
Option Plan), options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan become
immediately exercisable for a period of 30 days following such event. Any
options not exercised during the 30 day period are treated as if no Change in
Control had occurred and will be governed by the terms of their original grant.

     The Stock Option Plan may be abandoned or terminated by the Board of
Directors at any time. Such abandonment or termination, however, will not alter
or impair any rights under any options granted prior to termination or
abandonment. Unless previously terminated, the Stock Option Plan will expire on
January 1, 2008.

     The Company has reserved 2,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant
to the Stock Option Plan. As of December 31, 1999, options to acquire 1,855
shares had been granted to the Company's employees. The option exercise price
for each of these options is $2,000 per share. These options generally provide
for a ratable vesting over a three to five year period commencing upon the
employee's initial employment with the Company. The options generally expire, if
not previously exercised, upon the earlier of ten years following their date of
grant or three months following the option holder's termination of employment
with the Company. If any options terminate or expire without having been
exercised, the shares not purchased under such options again are available for
issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides, consistent with the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), that no director of
the Company will be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders
for monetary damages arising from the director's breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This does not apply, however, with respect to any action for unlawful
payments of dividends, stock purchases, or redemptions, nor does it apply if the
director: (i) has breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company and its
stockholders; (ii) does not act or, in failing to act, has not acted in good
faith; (iii) has acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law or, in failing to act, has acted in a manner involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iv) has derived an
improper personal benefit. The provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
eliminating liability of directors for monetary damages do not affect the
standard of conduct to which directors must adhere, nor do such provisions
affect the availability of equitable relief. In addition, such limitations on
personal liability do not affect the availability of monetary damages under
claims based on federal law.

     The Company's bylaws provide for indemnification of its officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
