(1) This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of
Common Stock which become issuable under the Plan being registered pursuant

the Plan, the shares issuable under which are registered hereby.
(3) The offering price is estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the
amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the

on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock
as reported on The Nasdaq National Market on January 17, 2001.

PART II
Information Required in the Registration Statement
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999, which contains audited financial
statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year for which
such statements have been filed.
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2000, June 30, 2000 and September 30,
2000.
(c) The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated June 19,
2000 and September 27, 2000, as amended on November 20, 2000.
(d) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in
the Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated March 17, 1999,
including all amendments and reports filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after
the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the
date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted
by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, a director will not be liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her
fiduciary duty as a director. Under the TBCA, directors have a fiduciary duty
which is not eliminated by this provision in the Registrant's charter. In some
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
nonmonetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will
continue to be subject to liability under the TBCA for:
- breach of the director's duty of loyalty;
- acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be not in good faith or knowing violations of
law;
- actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director;
and
- payment of dividends that are prohibited by the TBCA.
II-2
<PAGE> 3
The Registrant's charter provision does not affect the directors'
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the Federal securities laws or
state or Federal environmental laws.
The TBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify any director or
officer against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if the
director or officer acted in good faith or reasonably believed, in the case of
conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct
was in the corporation's best interest. In all other civil cases, a corporation
must indemnify a director or officer who reasonably believed that his or her
conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. In connection
with any criminal proceedings, a corporation may indemnify any director or
officer who had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.
In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the
TBCA does not allow indemnification if the director or officer is adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. Similarly, the TBCA prohibits indemnification of a
director or officer if the director or officer is adjudged liable in a
proceeding because a personal benefit was improperly received.
In cases when the director or officer is wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding brought because of his or
her status as a director or officer of a corporation, the corporation must
indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the
proceeding. Also, the TBCA provides that a court may order a corporation to
indemnify a director or officer for reasonable expense if, in consideration of
all relevant circumstances, the court determines that the individual is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the individual acted
in good faith or reasonably believed his or her conduct was in the corporation's
best interest.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that it shall indemnify and advance
expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
TBCA. The Registrant also intends to maintain insurance to protect any director
or officer against any liability and to enter into indemnification agreements to
create a contractual obligation to indemnify its directors and officers. These
agreements, among other things, indemnify the Registrant's directors and
officers for some expenses, judgments and fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by any of these persons in any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of the person's services as the Registrant's director or
officer.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

<PAGE> 4
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(2) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
