<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia. The Company&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsection (a)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a
corporation may indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify an individual made a party to a
proceeding because he or she is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(1)&nbsp;such individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (2)&nbsp;such individual reasonably
believed: (A)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the
best interests of the corporation; (B)&nbsp;in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (C)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding,
that the individual had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. Subsection (d)&nbsp;of
Section&nbsp;14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation may not
indemnify a director: (1)&nbsp;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; or (2)&nbsp;or 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section&nbsp;14-2-854, a court shall order a
corporation to indemnify or give an advance for expenses to a director if such court determines the
director is entitled to indemnification under Section&nbsp;14-2-854 or if it determines that in view of
all relevant circumstances, it is fair and reasonable, even if the director has not met the
standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;14-2-851 of the Georgia
Business Corporation Code or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in subsection (d)&nbsp;of
Section&nbsp;14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;14-2-852 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation shall
indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which the director 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsection (c)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;14-2-857 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that an
officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under
Section&nbsp;14-2-852 and may apply to a court under Section&nbsp;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. In addition, subsection (d)&nbsp;of
Section&nbsp;14-2-857 provides that 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, action of its board of directors or contract.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code, Article&nbsp;XII of the Company&#146;s Articles
of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, except
that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a)&nbsp;for any
appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (b)
for any acts or omissions not in good faith or

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;for the director&#146;s
personal liability for the improper portion of any distribution by the Company (as measured against
the solvency of the Company) approved by the director; provided that the director violated his or
her duties of good faith or care, or (d)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company further provide that 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 Company
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation
Code, as so amended. Article&nbsp;XII of the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation also provides that
neither the amendment or repeal of such Article&nbsp;XII nor the adoption of any provision of the
Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with such Article&nbsp;XII shall eliminate or adversely
affect any right of protection of a director of the Company existing immediately prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Article&nbsp;VI of the Company&#146;s Bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify each person who
is now, has been, or who will hereafter become a director or officer of the Company, whether or not
then in office. The Company is required to indemnify any such director or officer against all
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or her in connection with or
resulting from any demand, action, suit or proceedings or threat thereof, to which he or she may be
a party as a result or by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Company
or of any other corporation which he serves as director or officer at the request of the Company,
except in relation to matters as to which a recovery shall be had against him or penalty imposed
upon him by reason of his having been finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceedings to have
been derelict in the performance of his duties as such director or officer. The foregoing right to
indemnity includes reimbursement of the amounts and expenses paid in settling any such demand, suit
or proceedings or threat thereof when settling the same appears to the board of directors of
executive committee of the Company to be in the best interests of the Company, and is not exclusive
of other rights to which such director or officer may be entitled as a matter of law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s directors and executive officers are insured against damages from actions and
claims incurred in the course of performing duties, and the Company is insured against expenses
incurred in defending lawsuits arising from certain alleged acts against directors and executive
officers.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (1)(i) and (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&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934
Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of any offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 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 <I>bona

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code.
Subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a
corporation may indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify an individual made 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. Subsection (d) of
Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation may not
indemnify a director: (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; or (2) or 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854, a court shall order a
corporation to indemnify or give an advance for expenses to a director if such court determines the
director is entitled to indemnification under Section 14-2-854 or if it determines that in view of
all relevant circumstances, it is fair and reasonable, even if the director has not met the
standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia
Business Corporation Code or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in subsection (d) of
Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code.
Section 14-2-852 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation shall
indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which the director 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.
Subsection (c) of Section 14-2-857 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that an
officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under
Section 14-2-852 and may apply to a court under 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. In addition, subsection (d) of
Section 14-2-857 provides that 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, action of its board of directors or contract.
As permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation Code, Article XII of the Company's Articles
of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, except
that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any
appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (b)
for any acts or omissions not in good faith or
2
Table of Contents
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for the director's
personal liability for the improper portion of any distribution by the Company (as measured against
the solvency of the Company) approved by the director; provided that the director violated his or
her duties of good faith or care, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company further provide that 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 Company
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business Corporation
Code, as so amended. Article XII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation also provides that
neither the amendment or repeal of such Article XII nor the adoption of any provision of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with such Article XII shall eliminate or adversely
affect any right of protection of a director of the Company existing immediately prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption.
Under Article VI of the Company's Bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify each person who
is now, has been, or who will hereafter become a director or officer of the Company, whether or not
then in office. The Company is required to indemnify any such director or officer against all
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or her in connection with or
resulting from any demand, action, suit or proceedings or threat thereof, to which he or she may be
a party as a result or by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Company
or of any other corporation which he serves as director or officer at the request of the Company,
except in relation to matters as to which a recovery shall be had against him or penalty imposed
upon him by reason of his having been finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceedings to have
been derelict in the performance of his duties as such director or officer. The foregoing right to
indemnity includes reimbursement of the amounts and expenses paid in settling any such demand, suit
or proceedings or threat thereof when settling the same appears to the board of directors of
executive committee of the Company to be in the best interests of the Company, and is not exclusive
of other rights to which such director or officer may be entitled as a matter of law.
The Company's directors and executive officers are insured against damages from actions and
claims incurred in the course of performing duties, and the Company is insured against expenses
incurred in defending lawsuits arising from certain alleged acts against directors and executive
officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
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 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 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 (1)(i) and (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 1934
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 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 any offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 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.

Table of Contents
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.
