Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
As
provided under the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "Code"), the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for any
action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director, except that such provision 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 benefit.
Under its Bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify its
directors and board-appointed officers, and may indemnify its agents and employees, against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, resulting from various types of legal
actions or proceedings, including, but not limited to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, if the actions of the party
being indemnified meet the standards of conduct specified therein. Determination concerning whether or not the applicable standard of conduct has been met can be made by (a) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested
directors, (b) if such quorum cannot be obtained, a majority vote of a committee of two or more disinterested directors, (c) special legal counsel, or (d) the disinterested shareholders. No indemnification shall be made (i) in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the Company, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the indemnitee has met the relevant standard of conduct, or (ii) in connection with any other proceeding
in which such person was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her. The Company is required to advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by its directors and board-appointed
officers if he or she delivers to the Company (i) a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct or that the proceeding involves conduct for which such person's liability has been
eliminated under the Company's Articles of Incorporation; and (ii) his or her written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under the Bylaws or the
Code.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Company hereby
undertakes:
II-3
(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;
(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 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 amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities being 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 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 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 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.
(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 foregoing 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 Act
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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
