PART 5 OF ARTICLE 8 OF THE GEORGIA BUSINESS CORPORATION CODE STATES:
14-2-850. PART DEFINITIONS.
As used in this part, the term:
(1)
"Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of
a corporation in a merger or other transaction in which the
predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.
(2)
"Director" or "officer" means an individual who is or was a director
or officer, respectively, of a corporation or who, while a director or
officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the corporation's
request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of
another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity. A director or officer is
considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation's
request if his or her duties to the corporation also impose duties on,
or otherwise involve services by, the director or officer to the plan or
to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. Director or officer
includes, unless the context otherwise requires, the estate or personal
representative of a director or officer.
Table of Contents
(3)
"Disinterested director" means a director who at the time of a vote
referred to in subsection (c) of Code Section 14-2-853 or a vote or
selection referred to in subsection (b) or (c) of Code Section 14-2-855
or subsection (a) of Code Section 14-2-856 is not:
(A)
A party to the proceeding; or
(B)
An individual who is a party to a proceeding having a familial,
financial, professional, or employment relationship with the director
whose indemnification or advance for expenses is the subject of the
decision being made with respect to the proceeding, which relationship
would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an
influence on the director's judgment when voting on the decision being
made.
(4)
"Expenses" includes counsel fees.
(5)
"Liability" means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement,
penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an
employee benefit plan), or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to
a proceeding.
(6)
"Official capacity" means:
(A)
When used with respect to a director, the office of director in a
corporation; and
(B)
When used with respect to an officer, as contemplated in Code
Section 14-2-857, the office in a corporation held by the officer.
Official capacity does not include service for any other domestic or
foreign corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan, or other entity.
(7)
"Party" means an individual who was, is, or is threatened to be made
a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.
(8)
"Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal.
14-2-851. AUTHORITY TO INDEMNIFY.
(a)
Except as otherwise provided in this Code section, a corporation may
indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he or she
is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(1)
Such individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; and
(2)
Such individual reasonably believed:
(A)
In the case of conduct in his or her official capacity,
that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation;
(B)
In all other cases, that such conduct was at least not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and
(C)
In the case of any criminal proceeding, that the individual
had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.
(b)
A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a
purpose he or she believed in good faith to be in the interests of the
participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies
the requirement of subparagraph (a)(2)(B) of this Code section.
(c)
The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not,
of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of
conduct described in this Code section.
(d)
A corporation may not indemnify a director under this Code section:
-2-
Table of Contents
(1)
In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the
relevant standard of conduct under this Code section; or
(2)
In connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for
which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit
was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action
in his or her official capacity.
14-2-852. MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION.
A corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a
party because he or she was a director of the corporation against reasonable
expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
14-2-853. ADVANCE FOR EXPENSES.
(a)
A corporation may, before final disposition of a proceeding, advance
funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a
director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director
if he or she delivers to the corporation:
(1)
A written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or
she has met the relevant standard of conduct described in Code Section
14-2-851 or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability
has been eliminated under a provision of the articles of incorporation
as authorized by paragraph (4) of subsection (b) of Code Section
14-2-202; and
(2)
His or her written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if it
is ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to
indemnification under this part.
(b)
The undertaking required by paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this
Code Section must be an unlimited general obligation of the director but
need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to the
financial ability of the director to make repayment.
(c)
Authorizations under this Code Section shall be made:
(1)
By the board of directors:
(A)
When there are two or more disinterested directors, by a
majority vote of all the disinterested directors (a majority of
whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum) or by a majority
of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested
directors appointed by such a vote; or
(B)
When there are fewer than two disinterested directors, by
the vote necessary for action by the board in accordance with
subsection (c) of Code Section 14-2-824, in which authorization
directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may
participate; or
(2)
By the shareholders, but shares owned or voted under the control
of a director who at the time does not qualify as a disinterested
director with respect to the proceeding may not be voted on the
authorization.
14-2-854. COURT-ORDERED INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCES FOR EXPENSES.
(a)
A director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a
director may apply for indemnification or advance for expenses to the
court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent
jurisdiction. After receipt of an application and after giving any
notice it considers necessary, the court shall:
(1)
Order indemnification or advance for expenses if it determines
that the director is entitled to indemnification under this part; or
(2)
Order indemnification or advance for expenses if it determines,
in view of all the relevant circumstances, that it is fair and
reasonable to indemnify the director or to advance expenses to the
director, even if the director has not met the relevant standard of
conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Code Section 14-2-851,
failed to comply with Code Section 14-
-3-
Table of Contents
2-853, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph
(1) or (2) of subsection (d) of Code Section 14-2-851, but if the
director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
(b)
If the court determines that the director is entitled to
indemnification or advance for expenses under this part, it may also
order the corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses to
obtain court-ordered indemnification or advance for expenses.
14-2-855. DETERMINATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.
(a)
A corporation may not indemnify a director under Code Section
14-2-851 unless authorized thereunder and a determination has been made
for a specific proceeding that indemnification of the director is
permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the relevant
standard of conduct set forth in Code Section 14-2-851.
(b)
The determination shall be made:
(1)
If there are two or more disinterested directors, by the board of
directors by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors (a
majority of whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum) or by a
majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested
directors appointed by such a vote;
(2)
By special legal counsel:
(A)
Selected in the manner prescribed in paragraph (1) of this
subsection; or
(B)
If there are fewer than two disinterested directors,
selected by the board of directors (in which selection directors
who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate); or
(3)
By the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the
control of a director who at the time does not qualify as a
disinterested director may not be voted on the determination.
(c)
Authorization of indemnification or an obligation to indemnify and
evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same
manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except
that if there are fewer than two disinterested directors or if the
determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of
indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be
made by those entitled under subparagraph (b)(2)(B) of this Code Section
to select special legal counsel.
14-2-856. SHAREHOLDER APPROVED INDEMNIFICATION.
(a)
If authorized by the articles of incorporation or a bylaw, contract,
or resolution approved or ratified by the shareholders by a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast, a corporation may indemnify or obligate
itself to indemnify a director made a party to a proceeding including a
proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation, without regard
to the limitations in other Code Sections of this part, but shares owned
or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not
qualify as a disinterested director with respect to any existing or
threatened proceeding that would be covered by the authorization may not
be voted on the authorization.
(b)
The corporation shall not indemnify a director under this Code
Section for any liability incurred in a proceeding in which the director
is adjudged liable to the corporation or is subjected to injunctive
relief in favor of the corporation:
(1)
For any appropriation, in violation of the director's duties, of
any business opportunity of the corporation;

For acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a

-4-
Table of Contents
(c)
Where approved or authorized in the manner described in subsection
(a) of this Code section, a corporation may advance or reimburse
expenses incurred in advance of final disposition of the proceeding only
if:
(1)
The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of
his or her good faith belief that his or her conduct does not
constitute behavior of the kind described in subsection (b) of this
Code section; and
(2)
The director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking,
executed personally or on his or her behalf, to repay any advances if
it is ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to
indemnification under this Code section.
14-2-857. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.
(a)
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this part to
an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he
or she is an officer of the corporation:
(1)
To the same extent as a director; and
(2)
If he or she is not a director, to such further extent as may be
provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of
the board of directors, or contract except for liability arising out
of conduct that constitutes:
(A)
Appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any
business opportunity of the corporation;
(B)
Acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
(C)
The types of liability set forth in Code Section 14-2-832;
or
(D)
Receipt of an improper personal benefit.
(b)
The provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Code
Section shall apply to an officer who is also a director if the sole
basis on which he or she is made a party to the proceeding is an act or
omission solely as an officer.
(c)
An officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to
mandatory indemnification under Code Section 14-2-852, and may apply to
a court under Code Section 14-2-854 for indemnification or advances for
expenses, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be
entitled to indemnification or advances for expenses under those
provisions.
(d)
A corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an employee
or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public
policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws,
general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
14-2-858. INSURANCE.
A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an
individual who is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or

at the corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity against liability
asserted against or incurred by him or her in that capacity or arising from his
or her status as a director, officer, employee, or agent, whether or not the
corporation would have power to indemnify or advance expenses to him or her
against the same liability under this part.

(a)
A corporation may, by a provision in its articles of incorporation or
bylaws or in a resolution adopted or a contract approved by its board of
directors or shareholders, obligate itself in advance of the act or
omission giving rise to a proceeding to provide indemnification or
advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses consistent with this
part. Any such obligatory provision shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements for authorization referred to in subsection (c) of Code
Section 14-2-853 or subsection (c) of Code Section 14-2-855. Any such
provision that obligates the corporation to provide indemnification to
the fullest extent permitted by law shall be deemed to obligate the
corporation to advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses

in accordance with Code Section 14-2-853 to the fullest extent permitted by
law, unless the provision specifically provides otherwise.
(b)
Any provision pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code Section shall
not obligate the corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to a
director of a predecessor of the corporation, pertaining to conduct with
respect to the predecessor, unless otherwise specifically provided. Any
provision for indemnification or advance for expenses in the articles of
incorporation, bylaws, or a resolution of the board of directors or
shareholders, partners, or, in the case of limited liability companies,
members or managers of a predecessor of the corporation or other entity
in a merger or in a contract to which the predecessor is a party,
existing at the time the merger takes effect, shall be governed by
paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Code Section 14-2-1106.
(c)
A corporation may, by a provision in its articles of incorporation,
limit any of the rights to indemnification or advance for expenses
created by or pursuant to this part.
(d)
This part does not limit a corporation's power to pay or reimburse
expenses incurred by a director or an officer in connection with his or
her appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when he or she is
not a party.
(e)
Except as expressly provided in Code Section 14-2-857, this part does
not limit a corporation's power to indemnify, advance expenses to, or
provide or maintain insurance on behalf of an employee or agent.
ARTICLE X OF THE COMPANY'S RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, PROVIDES:
No Director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care
or other duty as a Director, except for liability (i) for any appropriation, in
violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (ii)
for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) for the types of liabilities set forth in Section
14-2-832 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Georgia
Business Corporation Code is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability
of a Director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code, as amended. Neither
the amendment nor repeal of this Article X nor the adoption of any provision of
these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this
Article shall eliminate or adversely effect any right or protection of a
Director of the corporation existing immediately prior to such amendment,
repeal or adoption.
ARTICLE VI OF THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS PROVIDES:
Section 1. Mandatory Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code, and to the
extent that applicable law from time to time in effect shall permit
indemnification that is broader than is provided in these Bylaws, then to the
maximum extent authorized by law, any individual made a party to a proceeding
(as defined in the Georgia Business Corporation Code) because he or she is or
was a Director or an executive or corporate officer, against liability (as
defined in the Georgia Business Corporation Code), incurred in the proceeding,
if he or she conducted himself or herself in good faith and reasonably believed
such conduct was in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in
the case of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. Advance for Expenses. The Company shall pay for or reimburse
the reasonable expenses incurred by a Director or any such officer who is a
party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if:
(a)
Such person furnishes the Company a written affirmation of his or her
good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set
forth in Section 1 above; and
(b)
Such person furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed
personally on his or her behalf to repay any advances if it is
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The written undertaking required by paragraph (b) above must be an
unlimited general obligation of such person but need not be secured and may be
accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

Section 3. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The right to
indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding
in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article VI shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the articles of incorporation, provision of
these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholder or disinterested Directors or
otherwise.
Section 4. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the
foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or
protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

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. 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; and
(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 by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
-7-
Table of Contents
(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 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 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.
EXPERTS
The financial statements and the related financial statement schedules of
the Company incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference from the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 have
