The document(s) containing information specified by Part I of this Form S-8 Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") have been or will be sent or given to participants in the plans listed on the cover of the Registration Statement (the "Plans") as specified in Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").

The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated herein by reference:

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the date upon which this offering is terminated shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date any such document is filed.

Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy LLP, Atlanta, Georgia, has rendered an opinion regarding the legality of the securities registered hereby.

The Registrant's By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless its directors and officers to the fullest extent legally permissible under and pursuant to any procedure specified in the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") against all expenses, liabilities and losses incurred in connection with their service or status as directors and officers. Such indemnification would also extend to liabilities arising from actions taken by a director or officer when serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, or as the Registrant's representative in a partnership, joint venture or other enterprise.

Section 145 of the DGCL, as currently in effect, sets forth the indemnification rights of directors and officers of Delaware corporations. Under such provision, a director or officer of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for all expenses of litigation or other legal proceedings when he is successful on the merits or otherwise, (ii) may be indemnified by the corporation for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of such litigation (other than a derivative suit) even if he is not successful on the merits 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, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful), and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by a stockholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the corporation), even if he is not successful on the merits, 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, provided that no such indemnification may be made in accordance with this clause (iii) if the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification of such expenses. The indemnification described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, only upon a determination by (i) a majority of disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (ii) a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) the stockholders, that indemnification is proper because the applicable standard of conduct is met.

The effect of the indemnification provisions contained in the Registrant's By-laws is to require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers under circumstances where such indemnification would otherwise be discretionary and to extend to the Registrant's directors and officers the benefits of Delaware law dealing with director and officer indemnification, as well as any future changes which might occur under Delaware law in this area.

The Registrant's By-laws specify that the indemnification rights granted thereunder are enforceable contract rights with are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights that the director or officer may have under an agreement, provision of law, vote of stockholders or otherwise. As permitted by Section 145(g) of the DGCL, the Registrant's By-laws also authorize the Registrant to purchase directors' and officers' insurance for the benefit of its past and present directors and officers, irrespective of whether the Registrant has the power to indemnify such persons under Delaware law. The Registrant currently maintains such insurance as allowed by these provisions.

The Registrant's By-laws also provide that expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a civil or criminal lawsuit or proceeding arising out of actions taken in his official capacity, or in certain other capacities, will be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of the matter upon receipt of an undertaking from the director or officer to repay the sum advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant pursuant to applicable provisions of the DGCL.

As noted above, the Registrant's directors and officers have certain indemnity rights under the Registrant's By-laws and DGCL and are protected from certain other liabilities by the Registrant's existing directors' and officers' insurance. The Registrant has also entered into supplemental indemnification agreements with its directors and with certain officers designated by the Registrant's board of directors (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), which broaden the scope of indemnity that has traditionally been provided by the Registrant to such persons under the terms of the Registrant's By-laws and the DGCL.

The indemnification agreements with the Indemnitees provide that, subject to certain important exceptions, the Indemnitees shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent permitted by law against any amount which they become legally obligated to pay because of any act or omission or neglect or breach of duty. Such amount includes all expenses (including attorneys' fees), damages, judgments, costs and settlement amounts, actually and reasonably incurred or paid by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of their service as a director or officer of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the Registrant. The indemnification agreements further provide that expenses incurred by the Indemnitees in defending such actions, in accordance with the terms of the agreements, shall be paid in advance, subject to the Indemnitees' obligation to reimburse the Registrant in the event it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under any of the provisions of the indemnification agreements.

No indemnification is provided under the indemnification agreements on account of conduct which is adjudged to be deliberately dishonest and material to establishing the liability for which the indemnification is sought. In addition, no indemnification is provided if a final court adjudication shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful, or in respect of any suit in which judgment is rendered for an accounting of profits made from a purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or of any similar statutory provision, or an account of any remuneration, personal profit or advantage which is adjudged to have been obtained in violation of law. The indemnification agreements also contain provisions designed to protect the Registrant from unreasonable settlements or redundant legal expenditures.

The indemnification agreements also provide for contribution by the Registrant, with certain exceptions, to amounts paid by the Indemnitees in any situation in which the Registrant and such individuals are jointly liable (or would be if the Registrant were joined in the litigation) if for any reason indemnification is not available. Such contribution would be based on the relative benefits to the Registrant and the individuals of the transaction from which liability arose, and on the relative fault in the transaction of the Registrant and the individuals. This provision could be applicable in the event a court found that indemnification under the federal securities laws is against public policy and thus not enforceable, as well as under state laws.

The indemnification agreements provide for substantially broader indemnity rights than those currently granted to the directors and officers of the Registrant under the Registrant's By-laws, which afforded directors and officers only those express indemnification rights set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL. They are not intended to deny or otherwise limit third party or derivative suits against the Registrant or its directors or officers. However, to the extent a director or officer were entitled to indemnification or contribution thereunder, the financial burden of a third party suit would be borne by the Registrant, and the Registrant would not benefit from derivative recoveries since the amount of such recoveries would be repaid to the director or officer pursuant to the agreements.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Exhibits.

The following exhibits are filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein:

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 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 Securities 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 to the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Springdale, State of Arkansas, on this the first day of October 2001.
