cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii)&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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-851</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC 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 of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-851</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC; or (2)&nbsp;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
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-854</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, 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 the indemnification provisions of the GBCC 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) of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-851</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, failed to comply with
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-853</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1)&nbsp;or (2) of subsection (d)&nbsp;of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-851</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, but if the director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred by the director in
connection with the proceeding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-852</FONT></FONT> of
the GBCC provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subsection (a)&nbsp;of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-857</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because
he or she is an officer of the corporation: (1)&nbsp;to the same extent as a director; and (2)&nbsp;if he or she is not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of
directors, or contract except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (a)&nbsp;appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (b)&nbsp;acts of omission which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (c)&nbsp;the types of liability set forth in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-832</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, or (d)&nbsp;receipt of an improper personal
benefit. Subsection (c)&nbsp;of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-857</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC provides that an officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-852</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC and may apply to a court under
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-854</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the GBCC, the Registrant&#146;s bylaws require it to indemnify any director
or officer who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in such proceeding. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws generally prohibit it from indemnifying any officer or director who is adjudged
liable to the Registrant or is subjected to injunctive relief in favor of the Registrant (a)&nbsp;for any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;for the types of liability set forth in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;14-2-832</FONT></FONT> of the GBCC, or (d)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which he or she received improper personal benefits. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws require the Registrant, under certain circumstances, to advance expenses to its officers and directors who are parties to a proceeding for which indemnification
may be sought. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s bylaws also provide that the Registrant must advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
officers in connection with a legal proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law, subject to limited exceptions. These rights are deemed to have fully vested at the time the indemnitee assumes his or her position with the Registrant
and will continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and will inure to the benefit of the indemnitee&#146;s heirs, executors and administrators. </P>

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Subsection (a) of
Section 14-2-851
of the Georgia
Business Corporation Code (the "GBCC") provides that a corporation may 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: (a) such individual
conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (b) such individual reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation; (ii) in all other
cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) 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 GBCC 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 of
Section 14-2-851
of the GBCC; or (2) 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
of the GBCC, 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 the indemnification provisions of the GBCC 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 GBCC, failed to comply with
Section 14-2-853
of the GBCC, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (d) of
Section 14-2-851
of the GBCC, but if the director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred by the director in
connection with the proceeding.
Section 14-2-852
of
the GBCC provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful 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 (a) of
Section 14-2-857
of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because
he or she is an officer of the corporation: (1) to the same extent as a director; and (2) if he or she is not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of
directors, or contract except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (a) appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (b) acts of omission which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (c) the types of liability set forth in
Section 14-2-832
of the GBCC, or (d) receipt of an improper personal
benefit. Subsection (c) of
Section 14-2-857
of the GBCC provides that an officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under
Section 14-2-852
of the GBCC and may apply to a court under
Section 14-2-854
of the GBCC 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.
As permitted by the GBCC, the Registrant's bylaws require it to indemnify any director
or officer who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in such proceeding. The Registrant's bylaws generally prohibit it from indemnifying any officer or director who is adjudged
liable to the Registrant or is subjected to injunctive relief in favor of the Registrant (a) for any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant, (b) for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for the types of liability set forth in
Section 14-2-832
of the GBCC, or (d) for any transaction
from which he or she received improper personal benefits. The Registrant's bylaws require the Registrant, under certain circumstances, to advance expenses to its officers and directors who are parties to a proceeding for which indemnification
may be sought.
The Registrant's bylaws also provide that the Registrant must advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
officers in connection with a legal proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law, subject to limited exceptions. These rights are deemed to have fully vested at the time the indemnitee assumes his or her position with the Registrant
and will continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and will inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
Certain of the Registrant's employee benefit plans provide indemnification of directors and other agents against certain claims arising
from the administration of such plans.
The Registrant also provides insurance from commercial carriers against certain liabilities
incurred by its directors and officers.
5
As permitted by the GBCC, the Registrant's articles of incorporation contain a
provision that eliminates a director's personal liability to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, except liability for:
•
any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
the types of liability specified in
Section 14-2-832
of the GBCC; and
•
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
These provisions may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter the
Registrant's shareholders or the Registrant from bringing a lawsuit against its directors. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate the Registrant's rights or those of any shareholder to seek
non-monetary
relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's fiduciary duty. The Commission has taken the position that this provision will have no effect on claims
arising under federal securities laws.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the GBCC and the Registrant's
articles of incorporation and bylaws and are qualified in their entirety by reference 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 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 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% 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 this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if 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 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, 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 this 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.
7
(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.
