14-2-850, et. seq., of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the &#147;GBCC&#148;)
authorizes the Company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in
certain circumstances. Section 14-2-856 of the GBCC expressly allows the Company to
provide indemnification rights that are broader than provided under the GBCC if contained
in the Company&#146;s articles of incorporation or in a bylaw, contract or resolution
approved or ratified by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in a vote of the
Company&#146;s shareholders. Article Eight of the Company&#146;s Bylaws provides broader
indemnification rights than expressly provided under the GBCC and has been ratified by the
Company&#146;s shareholders. </FONT></P>

Eight of the Company&#146;s Bylaws generally requires the Company to indemnify directors
and executive officers who are parties to any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is
one of the Company&#146;s directors or executive officers. Except as noted in the next
paragraph, directors and executive officers are entitled to be indemnified against
expenses (including but not limited to attorneys&#146; fees and court costs), and against
any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
them. Directors and executive officers also generally are entitled to have the Company
advance any of those expenses prior to final disposition of the proceeding provided that: </FONT></P>

addition, as permitted by Subsection (b)(4) of Section 202 GBCC, the Company&#146;s
Articles of Incorporation limits the personal liability of a director of the Company to
the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other
duty as a director to the amount of such director&#146;s compensation for services as a
director during the twelve-month period immediately preceding such breach, except that a
director&#146;s liability shall not be so limited for (i) any appropriation, in violation
of the director&#146;s duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (ii) acts or</FONT></P>

liability under Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC, or (iv) any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to limit
the rights of the Company and its shareholders (through shareholders&#146; derivative
suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach
of fiduciary duty (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent
behavior) except in the situations described in the preceding sentence. </FONT></P>

Board of Directors may, but is not obligated to, indemnify other officers, employees and

conditions and obligations, except that the indemnification so provided need not be
limited by a requirement that officers, employees and agents bear the liability up to the
amount of their compensation over a 12-month period. Except for certain executive
officers, the Board of Directors to date has not extended indemnification rights to any
officers, employees or agents. </FONT></P>

authorization by the Board of Directors, the Company can enter into an agreement or
agreements providing to any person who was or is one of the Company&#146;s directors,
officers, employees or agents, indemnification rights substantially the same as those
provided to directors under Article Eight. The Company has entered into written agreements
with certain current and former members of its Board of Directors to provide such persons
indemnification as described above and to assure such persons that the Company will
continue to provide such indemnification even if our bylaws are amended in the future. The
Company currently has no plans to enter into such agreements with any other person.
Finally, the Company can purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was one of the Company&#146;s directors, officers, employees or agents against any
liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against that
liability under Article Eight. </FONT></P>

          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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
          indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
          such issue. </FONT></P>

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
14-2-850, et. seq., of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "GBCC")
authorizes the Company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in
certain circumstances. Section 14-2-856 of the GBCC expressly allows the Company to
provide indemnification rights that are broader than provided under the GBCC if contained
in the Company's articles of incorporation or in a bylaw, contract or resolution
approved or ratified by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in a vote of the
Company's shareholders. Article Eight of the Company's Bylaws provides broader
indemnification rights than expressly provided under the GBCC and has been ratified by the
Company's shareholders.
Article
Eight of the Company's Bylaws generally requires the Company to indemnify directors
and executive officers who are parties to any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is
one of the Company's directors or executive officers. Except as noted in the next
paragraph, directors and executive officers are entitled to be indemnified against
expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and court costs), and against
any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
them. Directors and executive officers also generally are entitled to have the Company
advance any of those expenses prior to final disposition of the proceeding provided that:
(1)
the director or executive officer furnishes the Company with a written
          affirmation of his or her good faith belief that his or her conduct does not
          constitute the type of behavior for which indemnification is prohibited
          (discussed in the following paragraph);
(2)
the Company's Board of Directors has not made its own determination that
          the director or executive officer is not entitled to indemnification; and
(3)
the director or executive officer furnishes the Company with an undertaking to
          repay the Company if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled
          to indemnification.
The
GBCC and Article Eight of the Company's Bylaws prohibits the Company from
indemnifying directors and officers for the following types of liabilities:
(1)
any appropriation, in violation of the director's or officer's
          duties, of any business opportunities of the Company;
(2)
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
          law;
(3)
liability under Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC (pertaining to unlawful dividends
          or other distributions); and
(4)
any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal
          benefit.
In
addition, as permitted by Subsection (b)(4) of Section 202 GBCC, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation limits the personal liability of a director of the Company to
the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other
duty as a director to the amount of such director's compensation for services as a
director during the twelve-month period immediately preceding such breach, except that a
director's liability shall not be so limited for (i) any appropriation, in violation
of the director's duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (ii) acts or
omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
liability under Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC, or (iv) any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to limit
the rights of the Company and its shareholders (through shareholders' derivative
suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach
of fiduciary duty (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent
behavior) except in the situations described in the preceding sentence.
The
Board of Directors may, but is not obligated to, indemnify other officers, employees and
agents to the same extent it may indemnify directors, subject to all of the accompanying
conditions and obligations, except that the indemnification so provided need not be
limited by a requirement that officers, employees and agents bear the liability up to the
amount of their compensation over a 12-month period. Except for certain executive
officers, the Board of Directors to date has not extended indemnification rights to any
officers, employees or agents.
Upon
authorization by the Board of Directors, the Company can enter into an agreement or
agreements providing to any person who was or is one of the Company's directors,
officers, employees or agents, indemnification rights substantially the same as those
provided to directors under Article Eight. The Company has entered into written agreements
with certain current and former members of its Board of Directors to provide such persons
indemnification as described above and to assure such persons that the Company will
continue to provide such indemnification even if our bylaws are amended in the future. The
Company currently has no plans to enter into such agreements with any other person.
Finally, the Company can purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was one of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents against any
liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against that
liability under Article Eight.

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 of
          1933, as amended (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; and
(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 (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 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
          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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
          indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
          such issue.
