Changes that occurred prior to such date and since the filing of the eighth amendment to the initial statement are reflected on Schedule 1 attached hereto. On December 5, 2002, for personal planning reasons, Carol J. Barnett created the Carol J. Barnett Irrevocable 2002 Trust (the "Carol J. Barnett Trust"), and transferred 8,788,763 shares of the Company's common stock held directly in her individual name to SunTrust Bank, as Trustee of the Carol J. Barnett Trust. On the same date, Carol J. Barnett and her husband Hoyt R. Barnett, as General Partners of the Barnett Family Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), created the Barnett Family Limited Partnership Irrevocable 2002 Trust (the "FLP Trust") and transferred 1,201,501 shares of the Company's common stock held by the Partnership to SunTrust Bank, as Trustee of the FLP Trust. The Trustee of each of the Carol J. Barnett Trust and the FLP Trust holds the sole voting and dispositive powers with respect to the shares held in the respective trusts.

Barnett Trust and the FLP Trust, the trusts automatically terminate on February 2, 2003 and at such time any assets then in the trusts (including any shares of the common stock of the Company) are to be distributed to the respective grantors. Accordingly, as of December 5, 2002, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Act, Carol J. Barnett remained the beneficial owner of the shares held in the Trusts and for this reason is shown as having shared voting and dispositive powers with respect to the shares although she had no power to vote or dispose of the shares held in the Trusts during the terms of the Trusts.
