      set forth provisions pertaining to the indemnification of and insurance for
      directors and officers of a corporation. The Georgia Business Corporation Code
      provides for the mandatory indemnification of a director, against reasonable
      expenses incurred by the director in connection with a proceeding, where a
      director is wholly successful in the defense of the proceeding and where the
      proceeding is one to which he or she was a party because he or she was a

      will
      be indemnified against liability to the Registrant or its shareholders for
      monetary damages for breach of the duty of care as a director or officer;
      provided, however, that the Registrant will not indemnify any director for
      any
      liability or expenses incurred by such director (i) for any appropriation,
      in
      violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant; (ii)
      for
      any acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
      violation of law; (iii) for the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-832
      of the GBCC; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an
      improper personal benefit. The Registrant&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation further
      provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of a director or
      officer shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
      of
      1933 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 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
      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 </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
      such issue. </font></div>

                Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the plans described
                herein by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
                or
                any other similar transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of
                consideration that results in an increase in the number of the
                Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                Registrant's 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan which was approved by
                shareholders in 2000.

                Market on July 20, 2006, which was $37.37. In the case of the 2005

The

      Statement:
(a)
      The
      Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31,
      2005;
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
      Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report referred
      to in
      (a) above. The independent registered public accountant's review report on
      quarterly financial statements is not a "report" or "part" of the registration
      statement within the meaning of Section 7 or 11 of the Securities Act. The
      Section 11 liability of independent registered public accountants does not
      extend to review reports.
(c) The description of the Registrant's $1.00 par value Common Stock is
      contained in a Registration Statement filed under Section 12 of the Securities
      Act of 1934, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
      such description..
All
      documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
      13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing
      of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
      been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall
      be
      deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
      the
      date of the filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in
      a
      document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall
      be

      a
      statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also
      is,
      or is deemed to be, incorporated herein by reference modifies or supersedes
      such
      statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed
      to
      constitute a part hereof, except as modified or superseded.
ITEM
      4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not
      applicable.
ITEM
      5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The
      validity of the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock offered pursuant to the
      registration statement will be passed upon by J. Wiley Ellis, General Counsel
      and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the registrant. Mr. Ellis is a
      director of the registrant and receives compensation from the registrant in
      such
      capacity.
ITEM
      6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Sections
      14-2-850 through 14-2-859 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "GBCC")
      set forth provisions pertaining to the indemnification of and insurance for
      directors and officers of a corporation. The Georgia Business Corporation Code
      provides for the mandatory indemnification of a director, against reasonable
      expenses incurred by the director in connection with a proceeding, where a
      director is wholly successful in the defense of the proceeding and where the
      proceeding is one to which he or she was a party because he or she was a
      director of the corporation. The GBCC grants the Registrant the power to
      indemnify its directors and officers against liability for certain of their
      acts.
The
      Registrant's Articles of Incorporation generally provide that any director
      will
      be indemnified against liability to the Registrant or its shareholders for
      monetary damages for breach of the duty of care as a director or officer;
      provided, however, that the Registrant will not indemnify any director for
      any
      liability or expenses incurred by such director (i) for any appropriation,
      in
      violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of the Registrant; (ii)
      for
      any acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
      violation of law; (iii) for the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-832
      of the GBCC; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an
      improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation further
      provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of a director or
      officer shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
      GBCC.
-3-
The
      Registrant's Bylaws provide
that
      expenses incurred by any persons who are, were, or are threatened to be made
      a
      party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding,
      whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
      officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or was serving at the request
      of
      the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
      corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, may be
      paid
      by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
      or
      proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors upon an undertaking by or
      on
      behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if
      it is
      ultimately determined he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
      Registrant.

ITEM
      9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a)
      The
      undersigned Registrant undertakes:
1.
      To
      file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective
      amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i)
      Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
      1933, as amended;
(ii)
      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 in the registration statement; and 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 twenty percent (20%) change in the maximum
      aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
      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 (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 Section 15(d) of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
      registration statement.
2.
      That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
      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 Section 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)
      The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered
      with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
      the
      latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference
      in
      the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule
      14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where
      interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of
      Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to
      be
      delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
      quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
      prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(d)
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
      of
      1933 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 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
      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 of 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
      such issue.
