Item 4.  Description of Securities.  Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.  The legality of the common
stock registered hereby has been passed upon by Alston & Bird LLP, counsel to
the Company.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

       As provided under Georgia law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation
provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or any other duty
owed to the Company 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 duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (b) for
acts or omissions that 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 personal benefit.

       Article VI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify a director who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to
which he was a party or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein because
he is or was a director of the Company, against reasonable expenses incurred by
him in connection with such defense.

       The Company's By-Laws also provide that the Company is required to
indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent made a party to a proceeding
because he is or was a director, employee or agent against liability incurred in
the proceeding if he acted in a manner he believed in good faith to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Determination concerning whether or not the applicable standard of conduct has
been met can be made by (a) a disinterested majority of the Board of Director,
(b) a majority of a committee of disinterested directors, (c) independent legal
counsel, or (d) an affirmative vote of a majority of shares held by
disinterested stockholders.  No indemnification may be made to or on behalf of a
director, officer, employee or agent (i) in connection with a proceeding by or
in the right of the Company in which such person was adjudged liable to the
Company 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.

       The Company may, if authorized by its shareholders by a majority of votes
that would be entitled to be cast in a vote to amend the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent made a party to a proceeding, including a proceeding brought
by or in the right of the Company.

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;

         (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; and


----------
/1/  Exhibits are numbered in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
<PAGE>

         (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 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 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 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 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
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.

     (c) 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 provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II,
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.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.  Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.  The legality of the common
stock registered hereby has been passed upon by Alston & Bird LLP, counsel to
the Company.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

       As provided under Georgia law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation
provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or any other duty
owed to the Company 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 duties, of any business opportunity of the Company, (b) for
acts or omissions that 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 personal benefit.

       Article VI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify a director who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to
which he was a party or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein because
he is or was a director of the Company, against reasonable expenses incurred by
him in connection with such defense.

       The Company's By-Laws also provide that the Company is required to
indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent made a party to a proceeding
because he is or was a director, employee or agent against liability incurred in
the proceeding if he acted in a manner he believed in good faith to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Determination concerning whether or not the applicable standard of conduct has
been met can be made by (a) a disinterested majority of the Board of Director,
(b) a majority of a committee of disinterested directors, (c) independent legal
counsel, or (d) an affirmative vote of a majority of shares held by
disinterested stockholders.  No indemnification may be made to or on behalf of a
director, officer, employee or agent (i) in connection with a proceeding by or
in the right of the Company in which such person was adjudged liable to the
Company 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.

       The Company may, if authorized by its shareholders by a majority of votes
that would be entitled to be cast in a vote to amend the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent made a party to a proceeding, including a proceeding brought
by or in the right of the Company.

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;

         (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; and

----------
/1/  Exhibits are numbered in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
(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 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 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 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 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
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.

     (c) 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 provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II,
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.
