Item 4. Description of Securities.

        Inapplicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        Inapplicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Article VII of the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation
(the "Articles of Incorporation") provides that, except to the extent allowable
pursuant to the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "Georgia Code"), as such
provisions exist from time to time, no director of the Company shall be liable
to the Company or its shareholders for, or with respect to, any acts or
omissions in the performance of his duties as a director. The Company's Articles
of Incorporation further provide that in discharging the duties of their
respective positions and in determining what is believed to be in the best
interests of the Company, the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of
Directors, and individual directors, in addition to considering the effects of
any action on the Company or its shareholders, may consider the interests of the
employees, customers, suppliers, and creditors of the Company and its
subsidiaries, the communities in which offices or other establishments of the
Company and its subsidiaries are located, and all other factors such directors
consider pertinent, provided, however, that this provision shall be deemed
solely to grant discretionary authority to the directors and shall not be deemed
to provide to any constituency any right to be considered.

         Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation and Article 8.10 of the
Company's Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Code or any other laws
presently or hereafter in effect, each person who is or was or had agreed to
become a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving or had agreed
to serve at the request of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company
as an employee or agent of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such
person. The right to indemnification conferred by Article 8.10 of the Company's
Bylaws is a contract right and includes the right to be paid by the Company the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Georgia Code requires, the payment
of such expenses incurred


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person
while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding,
shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified.

         The Georgia Code provides that a company may indemnify an individual
who was or is a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer
against liability incurred in the proceeding if he acted in a manner he believed
in good faith to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and,
in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not,
of itself, determinative that the director or officer did not meet the standard
of conduct set forth in the Georgia Code. However, no indemnification shall be
made of an officer or director in connection with a proceeding by or in the
right of the company in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the
company or in connection with any other proceeding in which he was adjudged
liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.
Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
company is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
proceeding.

         The Georgia Code further provides that a company shall not indemnify an
officer or director unless authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director or officer is permissible in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
above and prescribes the persons who may make such determination.

         To the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by him in connection
therewith. The Company shall pay for the reasonable expenses incurred by a
director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding if the director or officer furnishes the Company
notice as required under that director's or officer's indemnification agreement,
if one exists, a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met
the standard of conduct set forth above, and the director or officer furnishes
the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to
repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification by the Company as authorized in Article 8.10 of the Company's
Bylaws.

         The Company has entered into agreements dated March 4, 1994 with E.
Neal Tompkins and Charles H. Phipps, directors of the Company, which obligate
the Company to indemnify each such director to the fullest extent permitted by
Georgia law if such director acted in a manner he believed in good faith to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or in any criminal
action, if such director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct giving
rise to such action was unlawful (the "Indemnification Agreements"). The right
to indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements is in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights to indemnification such directors may have.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, for the purposes of
pursuing his rights to indemnification, the director must submit a sworn
statement of a request for indemnification to the Company and shall present to
the Company reasonable evidence of all expenses for which payment is requested.

         The Company maintains insurance for its directors and officers of
$10,000,000.

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 sub-paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                  (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
                  Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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.

                  (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
                  or 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


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                  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 Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of
                  1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
                  issue.

         (b)      All other reports filed with the Commission pursuant to

Item 4. Description of Securities.

        Inapplicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        Inapplicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Article VII of the Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation
(the "Articles of Incorporation") provides that, except to the extent allowable
pursuant to the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "Georgia Code"), as such
provisions exist from time to time, no director of the Company shall be liable
to the Company or its shareholders for, or with respect to, any acts or
omissions in the performance of his duties as a director. The Company's Articles
of Incorporation further provide that in discharging the duties of their
respective positions and in determining what is believed to be in the best
interests of the Company, the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of
Directors, and individual directors, in addition to considering the effects of
any action on the Company or its shareholders, may consider the interests of the
employees, customers, suppliers, and creditors of the Company and its
subsidiaries, the communities in which offices or other establishments of the
Company and its subsidiaries are located, and all other factors such directors
consider pertinent, provided, however, that this provision shall be deemed
solely to grant discretionary authority to the directors and shall not be deemed
to provide to any constituency any right to be considered.

         Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation and Article 8.10 of the
Company's Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Code or any other laws
presently or hereafter in effect, each person who is or was or had agreed to
become a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving or had agreed
to serve at the request of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company
as an employee or agent of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such
person. The right to indemnification conferred by Article 8.10 of the Company's
Bylaws is a contract right and includes the right to be paid by the Company the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Georgia Code requires, the payment
of such expenses incurred

                                       3
4

by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person
while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding,
shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified.

         The Georgia Code provides that a company may indemnify an individual
who was or is a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer
against liability incurred in the proceeding if he acted in a manner he believed
in good faith to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and,
in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not,
of itself, determinative that the director or officer did not meet the standard
of conduct set forth in the Georgia Code. However, no indemnification shall be
made of an officer or director in connection with a proceeding by or in the
right of the company in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the
company or in connection with any other proceeding in which he was adjudged
liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.
Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
company is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
proceeding.

         The Georgia Code further provides that a company shall not indemnify an
officer or director unless authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director or officer is permissible in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
above and prescribes the persons who may make such determination.

         To the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by him in connection
therewith. The Company shall pay for the reasonable expenses incurred by a
director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding if the director or officer furnishes the Company
notice as required under that director's or officer's indemnification agreement,
if one exists, a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met
the standard of conduct set forth above, and the director or officer furnishes
the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to
repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification by the Company as authorized in Article 8.10 of the Company's
Bylaws.

         The Company has entered into agreements dated March 4, 1994 with E.
Neal Tompkins and Charles H. Phipps, directors of the Company, which obligate
the Company to indemnify each such director to the fullest extent permitted by
Georgia law if such director acted in a manner he believed in good faith to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or in any criminal
action, if such director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct giving
rise to such action was unlawful (the "Indemnification Agreements"). The right
to indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements is in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights to indemnification such directors may have.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, for the purposes of
pursuing his rights to indemnification, the director must submit a sworn
statement of a request for indemnification to the Company and shall present to
the Company reasonable evidence of all expenses for which payment is requested.

         The Company maintains insurance for its directors and officers of
$10,000,000.

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 sub-paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                  (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
                  Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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.

                  (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
                  or 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 Securities Act of 1933 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
