All documents filed by the Registrant subsequent to the date of this

Exchange Act and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which

this Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

hereby will be passed upon for the Company by King & Spalding, Atlanta,
Georgia. King & Spalding also advises and represents the Company with respect
to various matters. The Company will pay King & Spalding's fees and expenses
in connection with this Registration Statement. William R. Spalding served as
an executive officer of the Company until his election as a partner of King &
Spalding on April 11, 1997.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of the statute, Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated By-Laws and agreement referred
to below.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that each person who
was or is made a party to, is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (or is or was serving at
the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another entity), will be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
as it currently exists or is later amended.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or other entity if such person
is serving in such capacity at the corporation's request) against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an
action brought by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or other
entity if such person is serving in such
2
3
capacity at the corporation's request) against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless a court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such
expenses as the court shall deem proper. Expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is
not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally
liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for any
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for
any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
In addition, the Registrant and David E. McDowell are parties to an
agreement pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless Mr. McDowell to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it
presently exists or to such greater extent as such law may subsequently be
amended.
The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance. Such
policies have a deductible of $500,000 and an annual per occurrence and
aggregate cap on coverage of $50 million.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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 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. 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 and 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 percent 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 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 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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) 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 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 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such labilities (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
4
5
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.
