         The information required by this Item 10 with regard to Executive

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

         By Employment Agreement effective as of April 17, 1998 (the
"Agreement"), the Company employed Glenn W. Anderson as President and Chief
Executive Officer for a four year period. That term was extended for a one-year
period on April 17, 1999 and will be extended for additional one year periods on
each anniversary of April 17, 1998, unless either party delivers written notice
to the other at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable anniversary date.
Under the Agreement, Mr. Anderson will receive an annual base salary of $340,000
and will be eligible to receive annual management incentive bonuses as may be
provided in management bonus plans. He received a bonus of $260,000 at the end
of his first full year of employment.

         Under the Agreement, Mr. Anderson was granted non-qualified stock
options to purchase 579,710 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.25
per share which was the lowest closing price during the first five trading days
after the pubic announcement of the Company's results of operations for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. The options were fully vested and exercisable upon
grant and have a term of five years.

         The Agreement provides unaccountable relocation expenses of $50,000 and
an allowance not to exceed $110,000 for relocation, home sale, temporary housing
and moving expenses actually incurred. The Agreement additionally provides
fifteen days of paid vacation annually, a $2,000,000 term life insurance policy,
the right to participate in any Company group health and disability program, a
monthly automobile allowance of $700, a club membership in accordance with
Company policy and reimbursement of all appropriate and reasonable expenses
incurred by Mr. Anderson in the performance of his duties. The Agreement permits
termination of Mr. Anderson for cause with payment of salary accrued to the date
of termination. If Mr. Anderson's employment is terminated without cause, he
will be entitled to an amount equal to thirty-six times 150% of his then current
monthly rate of base salary. The Company has entered into a Change in Control
Agreement with Mr. Anderson in substantially the same form entered into with
other executive officers of the Company (see Change in Control Agreements below)
and if he is terminated without cause within twenty-four months of a change in
control of the Company, he shall be entitled to the greater of (i) the amount he
would be entitled to upon such termination in the absence of a change in control
or (ii) the amount called for by the Change in Control Agreement.

         Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
imposes a $1,000,000 limit on the amount of compensation that will be deductible
by the Company with respect to each of the chief executive officer and the four


                                        3

<PAGE>   4



other most highly compensated executive officers. Performance based compensation
that meets certain requirements will not be subject to the deduction limit.
Because they were not approved by the shareholders before vesting, the
nonqualified stock options granted to Mr. Anderson pursuant to the Agreement are
not excluded from the deduction limits of Section 162(m). Therefore, if the
exercise of these options by Mr. Anderson results in income to him in excess of
$1,000,000 in any one year, that portion over $1,000,000 will not be tax
deductible by the Company.

         Under an arrangement between the Company and Mr. Joel C. Puckett, he is
compensated for his services as non-executive Chairman of the Board based upon
the time that he is required to devote to those duties. Mr. Puckett's
compensation is determined by applying the portion of his total time which is
devoted to the Company's business to an amount equal to the base salary of the
Company's chief executive officer. During the period that Mr. Puckett is
compensated under this arrangement he will not receive fees paid to other
independent directors. Under this arrangement Mr. Puckett received $109,083 for
services rendered from April 1998 through the end of 1998.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENTS

          The Named Executives each have Severance Agreements which are
automatically extended for one additional year from each December 31st unless
sooner terminated by the Company. The Severance Agreements provide for the
payment of benefits if the Named Executive is actually or "constructively"
terminated following a change in control of the Company. A "change in control of
the Company" is generally deemed to occur if: (A) any person becomes the
beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Company's voting securities; (B) during a
two-year period the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company changes
without approval by two-thirds of the directors who either were directors at the
beginning of the period, or whose election was previously approved; (C) the
shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation with another
company in which the Company's voting securities do not continue to represent at
least 75% of the surviving entity; or (D) the shareholders approve a
liquidation, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets.

         No benefits are payable if a Named Executive quits or is terminated for
cause and no benefits beyond those otherwise provided by the Company are
provided if a Named Executive is terminated by reason of death, disability or
retirement.

         If, within two years following a change in control, a Named Executive
is terminated by the Company for reasons other than cause, or if the Named
Executive terminates employment for "good reason," the Named Executive will be
paid a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to two times the Named
Executive's base salary; provided, however, such payment shall not be less than
1.25 times the amount reported on the Named Executive's Form W-2 issued by the
Company with respect to the year preceding the date of actual or constructive
termination. In the event such payment would not be deductible, in whole or in
part, by the Company as a result of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code,
such payment shall be reduced to the extent necessary to make the entire payment
deductible.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         The members of the Company's Compensation Committee until February of
1998 were Messrs. Joel C. Puckett, John C. Goff, and Joseph D. Macchia. Members
of that committee since February, 1998 have been Messrs. John H. Williams,
Chairman, Robert J. McGee, Jr., Harden Wiedemann and John C. Goff. Mr. Puckett
continued to serve on the committee until July 1998.

         No executive officer of the Company served as a member of the
compensation committee of or as a director of another entity, one of whose
executive officers served on the Compensation Committee or the Board of
Directors of the Company.

SECTION 16(a)  BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Mr. Glenn W. Anderson failed to file a Form 3 on a timely basis when he
became an executive officer of the company but such filing has since been made.
Mr. Harden H. Wiedemann, a director of the Company failed to file a Form 4 on a
timely basis in connection with sales made by him during the months of
September, October, and December, 1998. This information was, however, corrected
by the timely filing of a Form 5.

(1)      Stock options are awarded at the fair market value of shares of Common
         Stock at the date of grant.

(2)      Options are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The model
         assumes historic one-year stock price volatility and dividend yield, a
         risk-free 5.53% interest rate and a ten year option term. No
         adjustments are made for risk of forfeiture or nontransferability.
         These values have been calculated in a manner permitted by Securities
         and Exchange Commission regulations but the Company disavows the
         ability of this or any other valuation model to predict or estimate the
         Company's future stock price or to place a reasonably accurate present
         value on the options because all models depend on assumptions about the
         future, which is simply unknown.

(3)      Joseph D. Macchia was not granted stock options during 1998 and held no
         stock options at the end of that year.


AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR END OPTION
VALUES

         The following table summarizes for each of the Named Executives the
number of stock options, if any, exercised during the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998, the aggregate dollar value, if any, realized upon exercise, if any,
the total number of unexercised stock options held at December 31, 1998 and the
aggregate dollar value of the unexercised options held at December 31, 1998.
Value realized upon exercise is the difference between the fair market value of
the underlying stock on the exercise date and the exercise price of the option.
Value of unexercised options at fiscal year-end is the difference between the
exercise price of the stock options and the fair market value of the underlying
stock at December 31, 1998, the latter of which was $6.125 per share. These
values, unlike the amounts, if any, set forth in the column headed "Value
Realized," have not been, and may never be, realized. The options have not been,
and may not be, exercised. Actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the
value of the Company's stock on the date of exercise. There can be no assurance
that the values shown will be realized.
