INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not applicable. II-1 12 ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. (a) The TBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its directors against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if (i) the director acted in good faith, (ii) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, the director reasonably believed such conduct was in the corporation's best interest, (iii) in all other cases, the director reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and (iv) in connection with any criminal proceeding, the director 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 provides that no indemnification may be made if the director was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instigated because of his or her status as a director of a corporation, the TBCA mandates that the corporation indemnify the director against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The TBCA also provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper benefit to a director, no indemnification may be made if such director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TBCA provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that a director be indemnified for reasonable expense if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct set forth above was met. (b) Paragraph 8 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Charter and Article 8 of the Registrant's Bylaws provide as follows: (i) The Company shall indemnify, and upon request shall advance expenses to, in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law, any officer or director (or the estate of any such person) who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (an "indemnitee"). The Company may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against him or her. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification and advances provided for herein shall include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement. The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Company to indemnify any other person for any such expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the full extent permitted by law, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify any such indemnitee (1) in any proceeding by the Company against such indemnitee; or (2) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the indemnitee establishes his liability for (A) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its II-2 13 shareholders, (B) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (C) unlawful distributions under Section 48-18-304 of the Act. (ii) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in Article 8(i) above are intended to be greater than those which are otherwise provided for in the Act, are contractual between the Company and the person being indemnified, his heirs, executors and administrators, and with respect to Article 8(i), are mandatory, notwithstanding a person's failure to meet the standard of conduct required for permissive indemnification under the Act, as amended from time to time. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in Article 8(i) above are nonexclusive of other similar rights which may be granted by law, the Charter, the Bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors or shareholders of the Company, or an agreement with the Company, which means of indemnification and advancement of expenses are hereby specifically authorized. (iii) Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article 8, either directly or by the adoption of an inconsistent provision of the Charter or the Bylaws, shall not adversely affect any right or protection set forth herein existing in favor of a particular individual at the time of such repeal or modification. In addition, if an amendment to the Act limits or restricts in any way the indemnification rights permitted by law as of the date hereof, such amendment shall apply only to the extent mandated by law and only to activities of persons subject to indemnification under this Article 8 which occur subsequent to the effective date of such amendment. (c) The Company has obtained insurance which provides general coverage for its directors and executive officers in amounts of $3,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 for annual aggregate claims. In addition, the Company has obtained insurance coverage for its directors and executive officers in amounts of $5,000,000 per claim and $5,000,000 for annual aggregate claims with respect to the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (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: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) 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. (iii) 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. 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 with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) 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 relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be II-4 15 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. (b) 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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 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. (c) 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. II-5 16 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Nashville, State of Tennessee, on this 16th day of March, 1998.
