Incorporation and the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws referred to

</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to eliminate
or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty as a
director, provided that no provisions shall eliminate or limit the liability of
a director: (A)&nbsp;for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any
business opportunity of the corporation; (B)&nbsp;for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (C)&nbsp;for unlawful
corporate distributions; or (D)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director
received an improper personal benefit. This provision pertains only to
breaches of duty by directors in their capacity as directors (and not in any
other corporate capacity, such as officers) and limits liability only for
breaches of fiduciary duties under Georgia corporate law (and not for violation
of other laws, such as the Federal securities laws).
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Registrant&#146;s Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, officers and directors shall be
indemnified by the company to the fullest extent allowed under Georgia law for
claims brought against them in their capacities as officers and directors.
Indemnification is not allowed if the officer or director does not act in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Registrant, or if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was lawful. Accordingly, indemnification may occur for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.

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
.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete statute, the Registrant's Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation and the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws referred to
below.
The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to eliminate
or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty as a
director, provided that no provisions shall eliminate or limit the liability of
a director: (A) for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any
business opportunity of the corporation; (B) for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (C) for unlawful
corporate distributions; or (D) for any transaction from which the director
received an improper personal benefit. This provision pertains only to
breaches of duty by directors in their capacity as directors (and not in any
other corporate capacity, such as officers) and limits liability only for
breaches of fiduciary duties under Georgia corporate law (and not for violation
of other laws, such as the Federal securities laws).
Pursuant to the Registrant's Restated and Amended Articles of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, officers and directors shall be
indemnified by the company to the fullest extent allowed under Georgia law for
claims brought against them in their capacities as officers and directors.
Indemnification is not allowed if the officer or director does not act in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Registrant, or if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was lawful. Accordingly, indemnification may occur for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.

To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this 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 with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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 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 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.
