ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or complete action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further
provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in
any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

     Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its
certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to
unlawful payment of dividends and
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3

unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be
liable to SBS or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director except to the extent that exculpation from liabilities is not
permitted under the DGCL as in effect at the time the liability is determined.
Our certificate further provides that we shall indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

     The directors and officers of SBS are covered under directors' and
officers' liability insurance policies maintained by SBS.

ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     On March 25, 1996 we sold 37,500 shares of our redeemable series A
preferred stock and $35.0 million of our 12 1/4% senior secured notes due 2001,
in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the
exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We also issued to the
holders of the preferred stock and notes warrants to purchase, in the aggregate,
6% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis which are exercisable no later
than June 29, 1998. We received gross proceeds of $72.5 million from this
offering. The securities were sold to certain qualified institutional buyers
through CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp., as exclusive placement agent.

     In June 1996, September 1996 and December 1996, we elected to satisfy
interest due on the notes through the issuance of $3,384,843 additional notes
issued at face value. In June 1996, September 1996 and December 1996, we elected
to satisfy the dividends due of $3,773,000 through the issuance of 3,773
additional shares of preferred stock. On March 27, 1997, the notes, the
preferred stock and the warrants were repurchased or redeemed by SBS.

     In lieu of paying dividends on the senior preferred stock, we paid
dividends in the form of shares of senior preferred stock on each of September
15, 1997, March 15, 1998 and September 15, 1998 of 11,706, 13,303 and 14,251,
respectively.

     On March 27, 1997, we sold 175,000 units comprised of 175,000 shares of our
series A senior exchangeable preferred stock, liquidation preference $1,000 per
share, and warrants to purchase 74,900 shares of our Class B Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share and (b) $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 11%
notes due 2004 in transactions not registered under the Securities Act, in
reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Act. We received
gross proceeds of $250,000,000 from these offerings. The securities were sold to
certain qualified institutional buyers through CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp.,
as exclusive placement agent.

     (b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

     The financial statement schedule -- "Valuation and Qualifying
Accounts" -- appears on page F-29. All other schedules are omitted because they
either are not applicable or the required information is included in the
financial statements or corresponding notes appearing elsewhere in this
registration statement.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
SBS pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by SBS of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of SBS 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     (b) We hereby undertake:

          (1) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
     concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved in the
     transaction, that was not the subject of and included in the registration
     statement when it became effective.

          (2) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

        - To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
          Securities Act of 1933;

        - To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
          effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
          post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
          increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
          dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
          registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
          estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
          prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
          in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
          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.

          (3) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement
                                      II-6
<PAGE>   8

     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.

          (4) 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.
