Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As provided under Georgia law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages, for breach of the duty of care or any other fiduciary duty owed to the Company as a director, except that such provisions 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 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. If applicable law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, the liability of each director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended.
2
Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify a director or officer of the Company who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein because he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with such defense.
The Company's Bylaws also provide that the Company may indemnify any director or officer made a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if he or she conducted himself or herself in good faith and reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the best interests of the Company; in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company; and in the case of a criminal proceeding, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. An officer who is not a director, or an officer who is also a director and is made a party to a proceeding on the sole basis of an act or omission in his or her capacity as an officer, may be indemnified as provided by the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, a resolution of the board or contract, except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (i) an appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (ii) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful corporate distributions, or (iv) any transaction from which the officer received an improper personal benefit. Determination concerning whether or not the applicable standard of conduct has been met can be made by (a) a majority of all of the disinterested members of the board, if there are two or more such disinterested members; (b) a majority of a committee of disinterested directors comprised of two or more such disinterested directors; (c) independent legal counsel; or (d) the shareholders. No indemnification may be made to or on behalf of a director or officer (1) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which such person was adjudged liable to the Company, 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) in connection with any other proceeding with respect to conduct for which such person 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.
The Company may, if authorized by its shareholders by a majority of votes which would be entitled to be cast in a vote to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation, indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify a director or officer made a party to a proceeding, including a proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. In addition, the Company may also indemnify an employee or agent who is not a director, to the extent consistent with public policy, which may be provided by the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, resolutions of the board or contract.

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 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
4
(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,
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 so long as 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 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 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 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
(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.
