ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

GEORGIA BUSINESS CORPORATION CODE

         Pursuant to section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code
(the "GBCC"), the Company may indemnify a director (including a former director
and including a director who is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
employee benefit plan or other enterprise) against liability arising from
official acts if the director acted in good faith and reasonably believed that
his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation. For all other
acts, the corporation may indemnify a director who acted in good faith and
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation. The corporation may indemnify a director with respect to
criminal proceedings if the director acted in good faith and had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation,
except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if
the director has not met GBCC standards of conduct, or in any proceeding in
which the director was adjudged liable for conduct involving receipt of an
improper personal benefit.

         In addition, section 14-2-856 of the GBCC permits the articles of
incorporation, bylaws, a contract, or resolution approved by the shareholders
to authorize the corporation to indemnify a director against claims to which
the director was a party, including claims by the corporation or in the right
of the corporation (e.g., a shareholder derivative action). However, the
corporation may not indemnify the director for liability to the corporation for
any appropriation of a corporate opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful distributions or receipt of an improper benefit.

         Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC provides for mandatory indemnification
against reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is wholly successful in
defending an action to which the director was a party due to his or her status
as a director of the Company on the merits or otherwise. Section 14-2-854
allows a court, upon application by a director, to order indemnification and
advancement of expenses if it determines that the director is entitled to
indemnification under the GBCC or if it determines that indemnification is fair
and reasonable even if the director has failed to meet the statutory standard
of conduct under section 14-2-851, failed to comply with the requirements for
obtaining advanced expenses under section 14-2-853, or was adjudged liable as
described in section 14-2-851. However, the court may not order indemnification
in excess of reasonable expenses for liability to the corporation or for
receipt of an improper benefit.




                                      -2-
<PAGE>   4

         Section 14-2-857 of the GBCC permits a corporation to indemnify an
officer (including a former officer and including an officer who is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust , employee benefit plan or other enterprise)
to the same extent as a director. A corporation may indemnify an officer who is
not a director to a further extent by means of articles of incorporation,
bylaw, board resolution, or contract. However, the corporation may not
indemnify an officer for liability arising from conduct involving appropriation
of a corporate opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law,
unlawful distributions, or receipt of an improper personal benefit. An officer
who is not a director is also entitled to mandatory indemnification and may
apply for court-ordered indemnification.

         Section 14-2-858 of the GBCC permits a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of directors and officers against liability
incurred by them in their capacities or arising out of their status as
directors and officers of the corporation, regardless of whether the
corporation would have the power to indemnify or advance expenses to the
director or officer for the same liability under the GBCC.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

         Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation exculpates the directors
of the Company from personal liability for money damages to the Company or its
shareholders. Currently, the directors are exculpated from all liability to the
Company or its shareholders except for liability arising from conduct involving
appropriation of a business opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful distributions, or receipt of an improper personal
benefit. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that if the GBCC is amended
to allow further limitations on the personal liability of directors, the
liability of the directors will be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent
allowed by the GBCC. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that any repeal
or modification of Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation by the
shareholders of Netzee shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director of Netzee existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

BYLAWS

         Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the
"Bylaws") provide that the Company shall indemnify, and shall advance funds to
pay for or reimburse expense to, any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director of the Company, against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
In order to be indemnified, the person must have acted in good faith and, (i)
in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the Company, having
reasonably believed his conduct to be in the best interests of the Company,
(ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, having no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (iii) in all other cases, having
reasonably believed his conduct to be at least not opposed to the best
interests of the Company. With respect to advancement of expenses, the person
must provide the Company with a written affirmation of his or her good faith
belief that he or she has met the requisite standard of care and undertaking to
repay to the Company any amounts paid in advance if it shall be determined that
the person is not entitled to receive indemnification from the Company for such
amounts. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a




                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5

plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

         No amendment, termination, or other elimination of Article VII of the
Bylaws or of any relevant provisions of the GBCC or of any other applicable law
shall affect or diminish in any way the rights to indemnification under the
Bylaws with respect to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, or
relating to, any event or act or omission occurring or fact or circumstance
existing prior to such amendment, termination or other elimination. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, the Company's Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights permitted by
applicable law to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled, whether by contract or otherwise. All rights to
indemnification under Article VII of the Bylaws continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director or officer and shall be deemed to be a contract between
the Company and each such person.

         The board of directors has the power to cause the Company to
indemnify, and shall advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses to, its (1)
officers, employees and agents and (2) any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other employee benefit plan or other enterprise. In order to
provide this indemnification, the board of directors must adopt a resolution
identifying the person or persons to be indemnified and specifying the
particular rights involved, which may be different for each person.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

         The Company intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its executive officers and directors that will indemnify them to the fullest
extent permitted by the GBCC.

INSURANCE

         The Company's Bylaws permit the purchase and maintenance of insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a directors, officer, employee or agent
of the Company, or who, while serving in that capacity, is also or was also
serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not the Company was
required to indemnify the person by any bylaw provision or resolution of the
board of directors.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

         The Underwriting Agreement, dated November 8, 1999, by and among the
Company and the underwriters with respect to the Company's initial public
offering of securities, provides for indemnification by the underwriters of the
Company, its directors and its officers, and by the Company of the
underwriters, for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect
thereto.

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;

                 (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 end 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;

                 (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-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant




                                      -5-
<PAGE>   7

pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

              (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration treatment 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, each filing of the
Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
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 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     * * *

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

GEORGIA BUSINESS CORPORATION CODE

         Pursuant to section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code
(the "GBCC"), the Company may indemnify a director (including a former director
and including a director who is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
employee benefit plan or other enterprise) against liability arising from
official acts if the director acted in good faith and reasonably believed that
his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation. For all other
acts, the corporation may indemnify a director who acted in good faith and
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation. The corporation may indemnify a director with respect to
criminal proceedings if the director acted in good faith and had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation,
except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if
the director has not met GBCC standards of conduct, or in any proceeding in
which the director was adjudged liable for conduct involving receipt of an
improper personal benefit.

         In addition, section 14-2-856 of the GBCC permits the articles of
incorporation, bylaws, a contract, or resolution approved by the shareholders
to authorize the corporation to indemnify a director against claims to which
the director was a party, including claims by the corporation or in the right
of the corporation (e.g., a shareholder derivative action). However, the
corporation may not indemnify the director for liability to the corporation for
any appropriation of a corporate opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful distributions or receipt of an improper benefit.

         Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC provides for mandatory indemnification
against reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is wholly successful in
defending an action to which the director was a party due to his or her status
as a director of the Company on the merits or otherwise. Section 14-2-854
allows a court, upon application by a director, to order indemnification and
advancement of expenses if it determines that the director is entitled to
indemnification under the GBCC or if it determines that indemnification is fair
and reasonable even if the director has failed to meet the statutory standard
of conduct under section 14-2-851, failed to comply with the requirements for
obtaining advanced expenses under section 14-2-853, or was adjudged liable as
described in section 14-2-851. However, the court may not order indemnification
in excess of reasonable expenses for liability to the corporation or for
receipt of an improper benefit.

                                      -2-

         Section 14-2-857 of the GBCC permits a corporation to indemnify an
officer (including a former officer and including an officer who is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust , employee benefit plan or other enterprise)
to the same extent as a director. A corporation may indemnify an officer who is
not a director to a further extent by means of articles of incorporation,
bylaw, board resolution, or contract. However, the corporation may not
indemnify an officer for liability arising from conduct involving appropriation
of a corporate opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law,
unlawful distributions, or receipt of an improper personal benefit. An officer
who is not a director is also entitled to mandatory indemnification and may
apply for court-ordered indemnification.

         Section 14-2-858 of the GBCC permits a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of directors and officers against liability
incurred by them in their capacities or arising out of their status as
directors and officers of the corporation, regardless of whether the
corporation would have the power to indemnify or advance expenses to the
director or officer for the same liability under the GBCC.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

         Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation exculpates the directors
of the Company from personal liability for money damages to the Company or its
shareholders. Currently, the directors are exculpated from all liability to the
Company or its shareholders except for liability arising from conduct involving
appropriation of a business opportunity, intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, unlawful distributions, or receipt of an improper personal
benefit. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that if the GBCC is amended
to allow further limitations on the personal liability of directors, the
liability of the directors will be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent
allowed by the GBCC. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that any repeal
or modification of Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation by the
shareholders of Netzee shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director of Netzee existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

BYLAWS

         Article VII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the
"Bylaws") provide that the Company shall indemnify, and shall advance funds to
pay for or reimburse expense to, any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director of the Company, against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
In order to be indemnified, the person must have acted in good faith and, (i)
in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the Company, having
reasonably believed his conduct to be in the best interests of the Company,
(ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, having no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (iii) in all other cases, having
reasonably believed his conduct to be at least not opposed to the best
interests of the Company. With respect to advancement of expenses, the person
must provide the Company with a written affirmation of his or her good faith
belief that he or she has met the requisite standard of care and undertaking to
repay to the Company any amounts paid in advance if it shall be determined that
the person is not entitled to receive indemnification from the Company for such
amounts. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a

                                      -3-
5

plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

         No amendment, termination, or other elimination of Article VII of the
Bylaws or of any relevant provisions of the GBCC or of any other applicable law
shall affect or diminish in any way the rights to indemnification under the
Bylaws with respect to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, or
relating to, any event or act or omission occurring or fact or circumstance
existing prior to such amendment, termination or other elimination. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, the Company's Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights permitted by
applicable law to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled, whether by contract or otherwise. All rights to
indemnification under Article VII of the Bylaws continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director or officer and shall be deemed to be a contract between
the Company and each such person.

         The board of directors has the power to cause the Company to
indemnify, and shall advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses to, its (1)
officers, employees and agents and (2) any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other employee benefit plan or other enterprise. In order to
provide this indemnification, the board of directors must adopt a resolution
identifying the person or persons to be indemnified and specifying the
particular rights involved, which may be different for each person.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

         The Company intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its executive officers and directors that will indemnify them to the fullest
extent permitted by the GBCC.

INSURANCE

         The Company's Bylaws permit the purchase and maintenance of insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a directors, officer, employee or agent
of the Company, or who, while serving in that capacity, is also or was also
serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not the Company was
required to indemnify the person by any bylaw provision or resolution of the
board of directors.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

         The Underwriting Agreement, dated November 8, 1999, by and among the
Company and the underwriters with respect to the Company's initial public
offering of securities, provides for indemnification by the underwriters of the
Company, its directors and its officers, and by the Company of the
underwriters, for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect
thereto.

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 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
