Item 4.   Description of Securities

          Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

          Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys'

<PAGE>

fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that
the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

     In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor, Section 145 empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by reason of the fact
that the person is or was acting in any of the capacities set forth above
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that indemnification is not permitted in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.

     Section 145 further provides that a Delaware corporation is required to
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein as to which such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators and empowers the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or
officer against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him
or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under Section 145. A Delaware corporation may provide
indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
conduct. Such determination is to be made (i) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not party to such
action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (ii) if there are
no such directors or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion or (iii) by the stockholders.

     Article VI of the Company's By-laws provides for indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as presently or hereafter in
effect.

<PAGE>

     Additionally, as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, Article VI of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that no director of the Company shall incur personal liability to the Company
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary
duty as a director; provided, however, that this provision does not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or
redemption of stock under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

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 1933:

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement:

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

<PAGE>

      (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendments 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 mean of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein 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 Company pursuant to the above-described provisions, or otherwise, the
Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.

                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia on August

respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that
the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

     In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor, Section 145 empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by reason of the fact
that the person is or was acting in any of the capacities set forth above
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that indemnification is not permitted in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.

     Section 145 further provides that a Delaware corporation is required to
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein as to which such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators and empowers the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or
officer against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him
or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under Section 145. A Delaware corporation may provide
indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
conduct. Such determination is to be made (i) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not party to such
action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (ii) if there are
no such directors or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion or (iii) by the stockholders.

     Article VI of the Company's By-laws provides for indemnification of
directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as presently or hereafter in
effect.
Additionally, as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, Article VI of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that no director of the Company shall incur personal liability to the Company
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary
duty as a director; provided, however, that this provision does not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or
redemption of stock under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

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 1933:

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement:

               (iii) 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 paragraph (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 Company pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 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 of 1933, each such post-effective amendments 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 mean of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein 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 Company pursuant to the above-described provisions, or otherwise, the
Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.

                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia on August
30, 2001.
