The date of this Proxy Statement is [January 22, 2003]. Mr. Nierenberg is President of Nierenberg Investment Management Company, which is the General Partner of The D3 Family Fund, L.P. Nierenberg Investment Management Company and The D3 Family Fund, L.P. may be considered participants in this solicitation. Accordingly, Mr. Nierenberg, Nierenberg Investment Management Company and The D3 Family Fund, L.P. will be referred to in this Proxy Statement by "we" or "our" as the context requires, or as the "Participants." Mr. Nierenberg is not seeking proxy authority. Rather, for the reasons stated below, Mr. Nierenberg is soliciting against the re-election of Joseph Sansone as a member of the Company's board of directors by urging you to withhold your votes for the re-election of Mr. Sansone. More information about the reasons for Mr. Nierenberg's solicitation and the background of Mr. Nierenberg and other participants in his solicitation is provided in this proxy statement under the headings "Introduction", "Reasons to Withhold Your Votes" and "Beneficial Ownership of the Participants." INTRODUCTION David Nierenberg is President of Nierenberg Investment Management Company, an investment adviser. The D3 Family Fund, L.P. is a Washington limited partnership that was formed to invest in publicly traded stock and other securities. The principal business address of Mr. Nierenberg, the Nierenberg Investment Management Company, and the D3 Family Fund is 19605 N.E. 8th St., Camas, WA 98607. None of the Participants holds any office or position with the Company. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Proxy Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships, legal or other, among the Participants or their associates with respect to any securities of the Company. Transactions by the Participants with respect to the Company's common stock over the last two years are set forth in Schedule I to the Proxy Statement. The Participants are investors in the Company and together beneficially own substantially more shares of its common stock (971,830 shares, or approximately 14.2%) than all five of the Company's existing directors together (who, according to the Company's proxy statement, collectively hold beneficial ownership of 594,360 shares, or approximately 8.3%, which number includes options to purchase 265,759 shares). The Participants are extremely unhappy about the Company's compensation package for its Chief Executive Officer Joseph D. Sansone, who also serves as a director and is standing for re-election to the Company's board of directors. At the 2003 annual meeting, the stockholders of the Company will have the opportunity to vote on the re-election of Mr. Sansone to the Company's board of directors. Background information about Mr. Sansone and his qualifications can be found on page four of the Company's proxy statement. The Participants are not soliciting proxies from any stockholders. Rather, the participants have engaged in this solicitation to urge the Company's stockholders to withhold their votes for the re-election of Mr. Sansone. 1 PRELIMINARY COPY--SUBJECT TO COMPLETION MATERIAL DATED JANUARY 22, 2003 REASONS TO WITHHOLD YOUR VOTES The Participants believe that, by withholding votes for the re-election of Mr. Sansone to the board of directors, we can send a message to the Company's board of directors to implement compensation reform and restore value to the Company's stockholders. While we are pleased with the Company's recent changes in corporate governance and the Company's reiteration of earnings guidance for fiscal 2003, we remain extremely unhappy about the compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sansone. The $200,000 bonus the board of directors recently awarded him for 2002, plus the constructive termination protection just added to his severance package, show that the board's view and the view of many stockholders of what constitutes the appropriate CEO compensation are widely divergent. For these reasons and others discussed below we are urging stockholders to withhold their votes with respect to the re-election of Mr. Sansone. We believe strongly, as a matter of first principle, that CEO compensation must be driven only by corporate performance and by the creation of stockholder value. CEO compensation is not an entitlement and must be earned. Given the Company's actual financial performance compared with its forecasted earnings for fiscal 2002, we believe Mr. Sansone was not entitled to a bonus (which was 55% of his base salary). During quarterly earnings calls with analysts and shareholders on December 4, 2001and February 1, 2002, the Company's management forecast an EBITDA margin of 9% for fiscal 2002. Although EBITDA is only one of several widely used and accepted measurements of a company's financial performance, it was voluntarily chosen by the Company's senior management and disclosed during those earnings calls as a useful measurement of its present and future financial performance and the Company's operating cash flow. Accordingly, EBITDA is what management and its investors and analysts focused on. But instead of exiting the fourth fiscal quarter of 2002 at 9%, the Company delivered an EBITDA margin of only 6%. The board of directors responded to the Company's financial performance by giving the CEO a $200,000 bonus and a 5% raise. Moreover, stockholders were not given detailed reasons in the Company's definitive proxy statement why Mr. Sansone was awarded his bonus. As stockholders of the Company, based on the Company's financial performance, we believe such compensation is inappropriate and sends the wrong message. We believe that a CEO who misses such a key goal--set by the Company itself--by such a wide margin deserves no bonus at all. Based on the Company's financial performance for fiscal 2002 compared to its twice-forecasted targets, a 55% bonus is not acceptable to us. Instead, we have urged the Company's compensation committee to adopt reforms to the CEO's compensation. Specifically, we believe that the following five changes should be made to the CEO's compensation package: o The $200,000 bonus for 2002 should be reduced to zero. If already paid, the funds should be returned to the Company. o The change in the CEO's severance package, enabling him to yank his golden parachute if a majority of directors, not previously approved by the board, are elected to the board, should be eliminated completely. o Revise the CEO severance package recently approved by the board of directors. We believe the economics of Mr. Sansone's severance package are excessively generous--providing the CEO, according to our analysis, with up to 42 months of salary plus 150% of his prior year bonus plus full vesting of options plus full funding of deferred compensation. o Drastically reduce the $80,000 car allowance given to the CEO. A public company CEO does not need an $80,000 luxury automobile at company expense even if the CEO does not fully use the allowance. A $20,000 vehicle should be perfectly adequate and that is what we recommend. 2 PRELIMINARY COPY--SUBJECT TO COMPLETION MATERIAL DATED JANUARY 22, 2003 o The CEO should have no more raises in his salary until the company returns to the 9% EBITDA margin. We are not opposed to raises for other executives or for the employees. The board's compensation committee needs to be changed to bring its views and composition into proper alignment with the economic realities of the Sarbanes-Oxley world of improved corporate governance. We do not expect these committee changes to occur before the upcoming annual meeting, but we would like to see them made by the middle of the new calendar year. Specifically, we believe two changes are needed: o The Company needs to have a new compensation committee chair who is more independent of the CEO and who has not served on the Company's board since its founding in 1989. o The majority of the members of the compensation committee also need to be relatively new and fully independent so that they will serve as stockholder advocates. We have communicated our suggestions to the Company's board of directors. To date, none of our recommendations has been adopted formally by the board. Accordingly, because these suggestions have not been accepted by the board and will not be implemented by the Company before the annual meeting, we have voted all of our shares against the re-election of the CEO as a director and we urge all other stockholders to vote the same way. There is no assurance that withholding votes for the election of Mr. Sansone will accomplish the Participants' goals of executive compensation reform and restoration of stockholder value. At this time, we have no intention--regardless of the election's outcome--of calling a special meeting of stockholders to elect a new slate of directors or taking any other action with respect to control of the Company. However, as stockholders of just over 14% of the Company's outstanding shares, we expect the Company's board of directors to listen and respond to our reasonable suggestions regarding executive compensation. Although certain members of the board of directors recently indicated to us that they will examine the CEO's compensation package prospectively and also consider the addition of independent directors to the Company's existing board of directors, we nonetheless urge stockholder to vote "withhold" on your proxy cards. The recent enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation signifies that the Congress, the SEC, and the White House see themselves as stockholder advocates. The nation is disgusted with corporate cronyism, angered by excessive executive compensation, and committed to seeing CEO compensation tightly and directly linked to performance which builds real long term stockholder value. This CEO and this board now must demonstrate persuasively that they embrace this new reality. A vote to withhold your shares from voting for the re-election of Mr. Sansone will send a message to the Company's board of directors that its stockholders want the Company's executives to be compensated properly and be focused on restoring value. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF THE PARTICIPANTS The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2002 by the Participants. According to the Company's proxy statement, the Company had 6,850,397 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 16, 2002.

VOTING General -------- As set forth in the Company's proxy statement, the securities that can be voted at the Annual Meeting consist of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share, with each share entitling its owner to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders. The record date for determining the holders of common stock who are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is December 16, 2002 (the "Record Date"). On the Record Date, 6,850,397 shares of common stock were outstanding and eligible to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Quorum and Vote Required ------------------------- According to the Company's proxy statement, the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. In counting the votes to determine whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, the proposal receiving the greatest number of all votes cast "for" or "against," as well as abstentions (including instructions to withhold authority to vote) and broker non-votes (which occur when shares held by brokers or nominees for beneficial owners are voted on some matters but not on others), will be used. As set forth in the Company proxy statement, in voting for the proposal to elect one director, stockholders may vote in favor of the nominee or withhold their votes as to the nominee. Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the proposal. As a result, shares which are withheld or abstained from voting and any broker non-votes with regard to a proposal will have the same legal effect as a vote against the proposal. According to the Company's proxy statement, any stockholder delivering a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by giving written notice to James M. McNeill, Secretary of the Company, at 310 4 PRELIMINARY COPY--SUBJECT TO COMPLETION MATERIAL DATED JANUARY 22, 2003 Technology Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092-2929, by executing and delivering to Mr. McNeill a proxy card bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If other proposals are brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card distributed by the Company will vote on these matters in their discretion.
