     such further terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the
     Committee may approve.

any Participant upon such terms and conditions as such Committee may determine
in accordance with the provisions set forth below.  Grants made pursuant to this
Section 7 are intended to comply with and otherwise satisfy the requirements of
Rule 16b-3.  To the extent that (i) any provision of the Plan applicable to a

         ---------------------------------------                              
activated and shall be effective immediately following the close of the initial
public offering of the Common Stock by the Company (the "IPO"). Thereafter, each
Nonemployee Director in office at that time will be granted a Stock Option as of
the first business day following the close of the IPO, and each Nonemployee
Director thereafter newly elected or appointed to the Board will be granted a
Nonqualified Stock Option effective upon his or her initial election or other
appointment to the Board, to purchase 2000 shares of Common Stock.  Each
Nonemployee Director will also be granted an additional Nonqualified Stock
Option to purchase 1000 shares of Common Stock as of the last day of each fiscal
quarter following his or her initial option grant under this Section 8,
beginning on the last day of the first complete fiscal quarter following such
date, provided that such individual has served continually as a Nonemployee
Director through the close of business on such date. Each grant will specify the
Option Price, which will not be less than 100% of the Market Value on the Date
of Grant.  All Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 8 will contain the

will be deemed null and void for purposes of such Stock Option.

     9.  Transferability.   Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
         ---------------                                                 
agreement evidencing a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, or in any
amendment to such agreement, no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be
transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and during the lifetime of the Participant may be exercised only
by the Participant.

     10.  Adjustments.  The Board or the Stock Option Committee, with respect to
          -----------                                                           
Stock Options granted under Section 4 or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under
Section 6, and the Board or the Special Stock Option Committee, with respect to
Stock Options granted under Section 5 or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under
Section 7, may make or provide for such 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
adjustments in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or Units specified
in Section 3, in the number of shares of Common Stock or Units covered by
outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder, in the
Option Price or Unit Exercise Price, applicable to any such Stock Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights and/or in the kind of shares or Units covered thereby
(including shares of another issuer), as the Board or such Committee in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is equitably required to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise
would result from any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or any other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.
Any fractional shares resulting from the foregoing adjustments will be
eliminated with respect to Stock Options, but not with respect to Stock
Appreciation Rights.

     11.  Withholding of Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to
          --------------------                                                
withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any benefit
realized by a Participant under the Plan, or is requested by any Participant to
withhold additional amounts with respect to such taxes, and the amounts
available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a
condition to the realization of such benefit that the Participant make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such
taxes required or requested to be withheld.  In addition, if permitted by the
Stock Option Committee, with respect to Stock Options granted under Section 4,
or by the Special Stock Option Committee, with respect to Stock Options granted
under Section 5, an optionee may elect to have any withholding obligation of the
Company satisfied with shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
transferred to the optionee on exercise of the Stock Option.

     12.  Administration of the Plan.
          -------------------------- 

          (a) The Plan will be administered by the Stock Option Committee with
     respect to Stock Options granted under Section 4 and with respect to Stock
     Appreciation Rights granted under Section 6 and by the Special Stock Option
     Committee with respect to Stock Options granted under Section 5 and with
     respect to Stock Appreciation Rights granted under Section 7.  For purposes
     of any action taken by the Stock Option Committee or the Special Stock
     Option Committee, whichever is applicable, a majority of the members will
     constitute a quorum, and the action of the members present at any meeting
     at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will
     be the acts of such Committee. The Board of Directors as a whole shall
     administer the Plan with respect to Stock Options granted under Section 8.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Subject to the allocation of administrative responsibilities set
     forth in Section 12(a), the Stock Option Committee and the Special Stock
     Option Committee have the full authority and discretion to administer the
     Plan and to take any action that is necessary or advisable in connection
     with the administration of the Plan, including without limitation the
     authority and discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the
     Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of
     a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.  The interpretation and
     construction by the Stock Option Committee, the Special Stock Option
     Committee or the Board of Directors, as applicable, of any such provision
     and any determination by the respective Committee pursuant to any provision
     of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will be
     final and conclusive.  No member of the Board or of either Committee will
     be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12(b), if any authority,
     discretion or responsibility granted to the Special Stock Option Committee
     under the Plan would, if exercised or discharged by the Special Stock
     Option Committee, cause the provisions of Section 5 or any Stock Option
     granted under Section 5 to fail to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3,
     such authority, discretion or responsibility may be exercised by the Board
     to the same extent and with the same effect as if exercised by the Special
     Stock Option Committee; provided, however, that such act of the Board will
     not cause the provisions of Sections 5 or 7, any Stock Option granted under
     Section 5 or any Stock Appreciation Right granted under Section 7 to fail
     to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or cause any member of the
     Special Stock Option Committee to cease to be a disinterested administrator
     for purposes of Rule 16b-3.

     13.  Amendments, Etc.
          --------------- 

          (a) The Stock Option Committee, or the Special Stock Option Committee,
     as applicable, or the Board of Directors as to grants under Section 8, may,
     without the consent of the Participant, amend any agreement evidencing a
     Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan, or
     otherwise take action, to accelerate the time or times at which the Stock
     Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, to extend the
     expiration date of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, to waive
     any other condition or restriction applicable to such Participant or to the
     exercise of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, to reduce the
     exercise price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, to amend
     the definition of a Change in Control to expand the events that would
     constitute a Change in Control, even if such definition may be different
     from that contained in the Plan, and may amend any such agreement in any
     other respect with the consent of the Participant.

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
          (b) The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Stock Option
     Committee or the Board but may not be amended without further approval by
     the shareholders of the Company if such Plan amendment would result in any
     grant or other transaction with respect to Stock Options under Section 5 or
     Stock Appreciation Rights under Section 7 no longer satisfying the
     requirements of Rule 16b-3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions
     of Section 8 that designate Nonemployee Directors eligible to receive Stock
     Options and specify the amount, Option Price and timing of Stock Option
     grants may be amended only by the Board and may be amended no more than
     once every six months except to comply with changes in the Code, the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules
     and regulations thereunder.  In the event any law, or any rule or
     regulation issued or promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, the
     Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities
     Dealers, Inc., any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed for
     trading, or any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency having
     jurisdiction over the Company, the Common Stock or the Plan requires the
     Plan to be amended, or in the event Rule 16b-3 is amended or supplemented
     (e.g., by addition of alternative rules) or any of the rules under Section
     -----                                                                     
     16 of the Act are amended or supplemented, in either event to permit the
     Company to remove or lessen any restrictions on or with respect to Stock
     Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the Board of Directors reserves the
     right to amend the Plan to the extent of any such requirement, amendment or
     supplement, and all Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights then
     outstanding will be subject to such amendment.

          (c) The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board, but
     in any event will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the effective date
     of the Plan.  The termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the
     terms of any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

          (d) The Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with
     respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or
     any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company
     or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate a Participant's
     employment or other service at any time.

          Re:  Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan
 
Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Logility, Inc. (the "Company") in connection
with the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 of
1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the "Shares"),
which will be issuable upon exercise of options granted under the above-
referenced plan (the "Plan"). In connection with that registration, we have
reviewed the proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to
the registration and proposed issuance of the common stock, the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company and all amendments thereto, the Bylaws of the
Company and all amendments thereto, and such other documents and matters as we
have deemed necessary to the rendering of the following opinion.

     Based upon that review, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued in
conformance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, will be legally issued,
fully paid and nonassessable under the Georgia Business Corporation Code.

     We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover, and
accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities or
blue sky laws of the various states as to the issuance and sale of the Shares.
