ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy LLP, Atlanta, Georgia, has rendered an
opinion regarding the legality of the shares of Common Stock registered hereby.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Consistent with the applicable provisions of the laws of Georgia, the
Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Registrant (collectively, the "insiders")
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if they are successful
on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a claim or proceeding. With
respect to a claim or proceeding in which an insider is not successful on the
merits or otherwise, the indemnification provisions provide that the Registrant
II-1
will indemnify insiders who meet the applicable standard of conduct. The
applicable standard of conduct is met if the insider acted in a manner he or she
in good faith believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the
insider had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Whether the applicable standard of conduct has been met is determined by the
Board of Directors, the shareholders or independent legal counsel in each
specific case.
The Registrant will make advances against expenses, so long as the insider
seeking indemnification provides a written affirmation of his or her good faith
belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct and agrees to
refund the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled
to indemnification.
The bylaws of the Registrant also provide that the indemnification rights
set forth in the bylaws are not exclusive of other indemnification rights to
which an insider may be entitled under any bylaw, resolution or agreement,
either specifically or in general terms approved by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. The Registrant can also
provide for greater indemnification than that set forth in the bylaws if it
chooses to do so, subject to approval by the Registrant's shareholders.
The bylaws specifically provide that the Registrant may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any director against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or
not the Registrant would have had the power to indemnify against such liability.
In addition, the Registrant's articles of incorporation, subject to certain
exceptions, eliminate the potential personal liability of a director for
monetary damages to the Registrant and to the shareholders of the Registrant for
breach of a duty as a director. There is no elimination of liability for (1) a
breach of duty involving appropriation of a business opportunity of the
Registrant, (2) an act or omission not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) a transaction from which the
director derives an improper material tangible personal benefit, or (4) as to
any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock repurchase that is illegal
under the Georgia Business Corporation Code. Article 11 does not eliminate or
limit the right of the Registrant or its shareholders to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief not involving monetary damages.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

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;
(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
plans 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
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
II-3
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 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) 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 (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 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.
(h) 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 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 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 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
