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.
(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.
2
(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:
(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
3
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
14-2-853, 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
4
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;
(2)
For acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
(3)
For the types of liability set forth in Code Section 14-2-832;
or
(4)
For any transaction from which he or she received an improper
personal benefit.
(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
5
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 who, while a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation, serves 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.
6
14-2-859. APPLICATION OF 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 the 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 affect 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
7
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
such 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 shareholders 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 Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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.
(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
9
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.
