required to approve the reincorporation of the Company in the State of Georgia.

Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") and, therefore, will have
the same effect as a negative vote with respect to the proposal to reincorporate
the Company in the State of Georgia. Broker non-votes will have the same effect
as a negative vote with respect to the proposal to reincorporate the Company in
the State of Georgia.

Law to appraisal rights in connection with the approval of any of the matters to
be presented at the Annual Meeting.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
                                  (PROPOSAL 1)

         Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors
shall consist of not fewer than three directors with the precise number of
directors determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Currently, the
Board of Directors is composed of seven directors. The directors elected at the

election or is unable to accept election, the proxies will be voted for the
election of such other person as the Board of Directors may recommend. Directors

         The Company's Acquisitions

   
         In May 1997, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements (the
"1997 Agreements") pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of
2,192,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock (giving effect to a
 .83333325-for-one reverse stock split in October 1997) in exchange for all of
the outstanding capital stock of each of G&R Marketing, Microsouth, tekgraf,
CGD, IPM and IG, each a California corporation (collectively, doing business as
"IGD") (collectively, the "1997 Subsidiaries," the acquisitions of the 1997
Subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "1997
Acquisitions"). Pursuant to the terms of the 1997 Agreements, the 1997
Subsidiaries agreed to deliver a defined guaranteed net asset value ("NAV") as
of the closing date of June 2, 1997. In certain cases, the excess net book value
over the warranted NAV actually delivered by the 1997 Subsidiaries will be
distributed to the former stockholders of the 1997 Subsidiaries as Purchase
Price Adjustments. In other cases, former stockholders of the 1997 Subsidiaries
will be required to pay the Company any shortfall in NAV actually delivered.
    
   
         In March 1998, the Company entered into three Agreements and Plans of
Merger (the "1998 Agreements") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an
aggregate of 895,000 unregistered shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock
and deliver an aggregate of $1,415,000 in cash to the shareholders of Computer
Graphics Technology, Inc., a South Carolina corporation ("CGT"), Martec, Inc., a
California corporation doing business as Media Graphics Distribution and MGD
("MGD"), and New England Computer Graphics, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
("NECG") (collectively, the "1998 Subsidiaries," the acquisitions of the 1998
Subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "1998
Acquisitions") as consideration for the merger of each of those companies into
Tekgraf Sub I, Inc., Tekgraf Sub II, Inc., and Tekgraf Sub III, Inc., each a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, respectively. CGT, MGD and NECG are
computer graphics wholesale distribution companies. Pursuant to the terms of the
1998 Agreements, the 1998 Subsidiaries and their shareholders agreed to deliver
certain guaranteed NAVs as of the closing dates of their respective mergers and
also agreed to deliver certain guaranteed pre-tax profits for the one-year
period commencing on the respective closing dates of the mergers (the 1998
Agreements provide that the shareholders may elect an alternative one-year
period for purposes of the profit calculation). In certain cases, the excess NAV
over the guaranteed NAV that is actually delivered by the 1998 Subsidiaries and
the excess actual pre-tax profit over the pre-tax profit guaranteed by the 1998
Subsidiaries will be distributed to the former shareholders of the 1998
Subsidiaries as Purchase Price Adjustments. In other cases, former shareholders
of the 1998 Subsidiaries will be required to pay the Company any shortfall in
NAV actually delivered or actual pre-tax profit realized. The merger of CGT into
Tekgraf Sub I occurred on April 1, 1998, and the mergers of MGD and NECG into
Tekgraf Sub II and Tekgraf Sub III, respectively, are expected to occur on or
around May 1, 1998, although such closings are subject to the satisfactory
completion of due diligence, the receipt of regulatory approvals and consents,
and certain other conditions to closing. The approximate ownership of NECG is as
follows: 14% by Thomas Gust, a principal stockholder of the Company's Class B
Common Stock, 14% by Mr. Rychel, 21.9% by Scott Barker, who became a principal
stockholder of the Company's Class A Common Stock on April 1, 1998 when CGT, of
which he was President and principal shareholder, was acquired by the Company,
and 28% by A. Lowell Nerenberg, with the balance owned by unaffiliated parties.
In connection with the merger of NECG into Tekgraf Sub III, if consummated,
Messrs. Rychel, Gust, Barker and Nerenberg will receive approximately 36,216
36,216, 57,945 and 72,432 shares, respectively, of unregistered Class A Common
Stock of the Company (including shares placed into escrow) and approximately
$56,716, $56,716, $90,745 and $113,431 in cash (including cash placed into
escrow), respectively. The acquisition of NECG was approved by the unanimous
vote of the disinterested directors of the Company.
    

         The following table sets forth: (i) the number of shares of Class B
Common Stock received in the 1997 Acquisitions by executive officers, directors
and principal stockholders of the Company; and (ii) the estimated dollar amount
paid to or to be received from such individuals as a result of Purchase Price
Adjustments:

         was put into escrow for purposes of the Purchase Price Adjustments and
         indemnification provisions of the Agreements.

(2)      In December 1997, the Company paid Messrs. Woolsey and Cooper $800,000
         and $250,000, respectively, in partial satisfaction of the Company's
         obligations under the Purchase Price Adjustment provisions of their
         respective agreements. Upon final determination of the Purchase Price
         Adjustments shortly after March 31, 1998, the Company intends to pay
         the balance of the Purchase Price Adjustments to Mr. Woolsey and
         expects to receive the Purchase Price Adjustments from Messrs. Rychel,
         Cooper and Gust shortly after such final determination.

         The 1997 and 1998 Agreements provide that the representations and
warranties contained therein shall survive for a period of approximately two
years from the respective dates of the Agreements. An aggregate of 1,333,333 of
the shares of Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to the 1997 Agreements and an
aggregate of 66,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the CGT
Agreement have been placed in escrow to cover potential claims for
indemnification for liabilities resulting from the breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the 1997 Agreements or the CGT
Agreement, respectively. Similarly, pursuant to the CGT Agreement, another
66,000 shares of Class A Common Stock has been placed in escrow to secure the
Purchase Price Adjustments to be made on account of a shortfall in the actual
pre-tax profits of CGT. Upon closing of the acquisitions of MGD and NECG, if
those transactions are consummated, 60,000 and 66,250 shares, respectively, will
be placed in escrow to secure indemnification claims under the MGD and NECG
Agreements, and another 60,000 and 66,250 shares, respectively, will be placed
in escrow to secure the Purchase Price Adjustments under those Agreements.

         PDP, Inc. ("PDP") is a Georgia corporation owned 24.5% by each of Dan
I. Bailey, President - Technology Division and a director of the Company, and
Peter Goletz, a principal stockholder of the Company, and 51% by the wife of
Phillip C. Aginsky, the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Prisym Technologies,
Inc. of Georgia ("Prisym") occupied offices in a building owned by PDP for six
months during 1997 and paid rent of $11,000 for the period that it occupied such
space. In connection with the acquisition of the aforementioned building, PDP
incurred bank indebtedness of $496,000. The bank loan was guaranteed by Messrs.
Bailey and Goletz and Alongal. The Company guaranteed repayment of such debt. In
November 1997, PDP repaid such loan from the proceeds of the sale of the
building and the guarantee was released.


         Other Transactions

         Certain stockholders of the Company, including Dan I. Bailey, President
- - Technology Division and a director of the Company, have made non-interest
bearing working capital advances to the Company over the past several years. At
December 31, 1997, amounts owed to Mr. Bailey aggregated approximately $50,000.
Such advances were paid in full by the Company in February, 1998, and the
Company has no current outstanding indebtedness to Mr. Bailey.

   
         Mr. Woolsey owns 50% of CAD Temps, Inc., a temporary employment
agency that manages the Company's Advanced Software Learning Center. In 1997,
the Company paid management fees of $73,659 to CAD Temps.
    

         In November 1997, the stockholders of the Company prior to the 1997
Acquisitions contributed an aggregate of $990,000 to the capital of the Company.
Of such amount, Anita contributed $504,900, and Dan I. Bailey and Peter Goletz
each contributed $222,750.

         The Company believes that all of the transactions set forth above were
made on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained
from unaffiliated third parties. The Company has adopted a policy that all
future transactions, including loans, between the Company and its officers,
directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates will be approved by a
majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent and
disinterested outside directors on the Board of Directors, and will continue to
be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive
officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities to file reports of

Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") and the Nasdaq National
Market. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners also are
required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required, the Company believes that, during fiscal 1997, it
executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied
with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that a report
covering transactions on Form 4 was not filed by William M. Rychel.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
    

   
         In June 1997, the Company entered into two-year employment agreements
with each of Messrs. Aginsky, Bailey, Rychel, Cooper and Woolsey, as well as
with Patrick J. McLaughlin and A. Lowell Nerenberg, who serve as Regional Sales
Directors, each of which provides for a base annual compensation of $125,000. In
April 1998, the Company and the surviving corporation of the merger of CGT and
Tekgraf Sub I entered into an employment agreement with Scott Barker on
substantially these same terms. In addition, in the event that the acquisitions
of MGD and NECG are consummated, the Company anticipates entering into
employment agreements with Mark Lewis of MGD and David Boston of NECG on
substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth above.
    

   
         On March 1, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
W. Jeffrey Camp to serve as Chief Financial Officer for a base annual
compensation of $125,000. Also on March 1, 1998, Mr. Camp was granted options to
purchase 45,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share. 15,000 of these options vested on March 1, 1998, 15,000 will vest on
March 1, 1999, and 15,000 will vest on March 1, 2000. This employment agreement
is terminable by the Company at any time, upon six months' written notice. See
"-- Stock Option Plan."
    

         Except for Mr. Camp's employment agreement, all of the agreements also
contain two-year post-termination confidentiality and non-competition
provisions. Public policy limitations and the difficulty of obtaining injunctive
relief may impair the Company's ability to enforce the non-competition and
nondisclosure covenants made by its employees. The Company has determined that
it will implement a bonus plan during the year ending December 31, 1999 pursuant
to which all of the foregoing individuals will be eligible to participate in a
bonus pool equal to a percentage of the Company's pre-tax profits, if any, in
excess of $3,000,000.

         In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed with the
underwriter that the compensation of the Company's executive officers, division
managers and regional operating managers will not exceed $125,000 for any of
such individuals for a period of 13 months from the closing of the Offering.

         The Company has obtained key-person life insurance in the amount of
$2,000,000 on the lives of each of Messrs. Aginsky, Bailey and Rychel and
$1,000,000 on the lives of each of Messrs. Woolsey and McLaughlin.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

         In August 1997, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company's
stockholders approved the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), covering 300,000
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock and pursuant to which employees,
officers and directors of, and consultants or advisers to, the Company and any
subsidiary corporations are eligible to receive incentive stock options
("incentive options") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and/or options that do not qualify as
incentive options ("non-qualified options"). The Plan, which expires in August
2007, will be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board
of Directors, provided, however, that with respect to "officers" and
"directors," as such terms are defined for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 ("Rule
16b-3") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), such committee shall consist of "disinterested" directors as defined in
Rule 16b-3, but only if at least two directors meet the criteria of
"disinterested" directors as defined in Rule 16b-3. The purposes of the Plan are
to ensure the retention of existing and future executive personnel, key
employees, directors, consultants and advisors who are expected to contribute to
the Company's future growth and success and to provide additional incentive by
permitting such individuals to participate in the ownership of the Company, and
the criteria to be utilized by the Board of Directors or the committee in
granting options pursuant to the Plan will be consistent with these purposes.
The Plan provides for automatic grants of options to certain directors in the
manner set forth below.

         Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive options or
non-qualified options. Incentive options granted under the Plan are exercisable
for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which
is not less than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date
of the grant, except that the term of an incentive option granted under the Plan
to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting power may not
exceed five years and its exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair
market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant. To the extent
that the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the shares for
which incentive options become exercisable for the first time by an optionee
during the calendar year exceeds $100,000, the portion of such option which is
in excess of the $100,000 limitation will be treated as a non-qualified option.
Options granted under the Plan to officers, directors or employees of the
Company may be exercised only while the optionee is employed or retained by the
Company or within 90 days of the date of termination of the employment
relationship or directorship. However, options which are exercisable at the time
of termination by reason of death or permanent disability of the optionee may be
exercised within 12 months of the date of termination of the employment
relationship or directorship. Upon the



                                       15
<PAGE>   20

exercise of an option, payment may be made by cash or by any other means that
the Board of Directors or the committee determines. No option may be granted
under the Plan after August 2007.

         Options may be granted only to such employees, officers and directors
of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company as the Board of Directors or the committee shall select from time to
time in its sole discretion, provided that only employees of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to receive incentive options. An
optionee may be granted more than one option under the Plan. The Board of
Directors or the committee will, in its discretion, determine (subject to the
terms of the Plan) who will be granted options, the time or times at which
options shall be granted, and the number of shares subject to each option,
whether the options are incentive options or non-qualified options, and the
manner in which options may be exercised. In making such determination,
consideration may be given to the value of the services rendered by the
respective individuals, their present and potential contributions to the success
of the Company and its subsidiaries and such other factors deemed relevant in
accomplishing the purpose of the Plan.

         The Company has canceled options to purchase 15,000 shares that were
granted to Peter Armstrong in November 1997 exercisable at $6.00 per share and
has granted options to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 shares to W. Jeffrey Camp
at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. 15,000 of Mr. Camp's options became
exercisable on March 1, 1998, 15,000 will become exercisable on March 1, 1999,
and the remaining 15,000 will become exercisable on March 1, 2000.


COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS

         Non-employee directors receive $500 for each Board and committee
meeting attended and are reimbursed for their expenses in attending such
meetings. Directors are not precluded from serving the Company in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Directors are also entitled to
receive options under the Plan.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         During the year ended December 31, 1997, Phillip C. Aginsky, Dan I.

acquisition of the aforementioned building, PDP incurred bank indebtedness of
$496,000. The bank loan was guaranteed by Messrs. Bailey and Goletz and Alongal.
The Company guaranteed repayment of such debt. In November 1997, PDP repaid such
loan from the proceeds of the sale of the building and the guarantee was
released.

         Certain stockholders of the Company, including Dan I. Bailey, President
- - Technology Division and a director of the Company, have made non-interest
bearing working capital advances to the Company over the past several years. At
December 31, 1997, amounts owed to Mr. Bailey aggregated approximately $50,000.
Such advances were paid in full by the Company in February, 1998, and the
Company has no current outstanding indebtedness to Mr. Bailey.

         In November 1997, the stockholders of the Company prior to the 1997
Acquisitions contributed an aggregate of $990,000 to the capital of the Company.
Of such amount, Anita contributed $504,900, and Dan I. Bailey and Peter Goletz
each contributed $222,750.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the
Company's previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might
incorporate this Proxy Statement or future filings with the Commission, in whole
or in part, the following report and the Stock Performance Chart which follows
shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filing.

         The following report of the compensation committee describes the
philosophy, objectives and components of the Company's executive compensation
programs for 1997 and discusses the determination concerning the compensation
for the Chief Executive Officer for 1997.

         The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Phillip C.
Aginsky, Albert E. Sisto, and Frank X. Dalton, Jr. Mr. Aginsky is the Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company. Messrs. Sisto and Dalton are
non-executive directors of the Company.

         The Company's primary objective in designing and implementing its
compensation program is to maximize stockholder value over time through
alignment of employee performance with business goals and strategies that serve
stockholders' interests. The overall goal of the Compensation Committee is to
develop executive compensation and equity-based programs which are consistent
with and linked to the Company's strategic and annual business objectives.

Compensation Philosophy

         The Compensation Committee adheres to a compensation policy that:

         1.   will attract and retain key executives crucial to the long-term 
              success of the Company;
         2.   relates to the achievement of operational and strategic 
              objectives; and
         3.   is commensurate with each executive's performance, experience and 
              responsibilities.

         Specifically, the Compensation Committee has adopted certain principles
which are applied in structuring the compensation opportunity for executive
officers. These are:

         Long-Term and At-Risk Focus. A significant percentage of total
         compensation for executive officers should be composed of long-term,
         at-risk rewards to focus senior management on the long-term interests
         of shareholders. Equity-based plans should comprise a major part of the
         long-term, at-risk portion of the total compensation to encourage
         stockholder value-based management decisions, and to link compensation
         to Company performance and stockholder interests.



                                       17
<PAGE>   22

         Short-Term At-Risk Focus.. A significant portion of cash compensation
         for executives is linked to the achievement of annual bonus plans or
         performance objectives. This includes cash bonuses that may be approved
         by the Compensation Committee relating to these objectives. There is a
         real risk in bonuses paid under this plan, recognizing variability in
         individual, unit and overall Company performance.

         Competitiveness. Base pay and total compensation should be competitive
         with other similar companies based upon size, products and markets. The
         particular qualifications of an individual holding the position and his
         or her level of experience are considered in establishing a salary
         level when a person is appointed to a position. Salaries are generally
         reviewed annually. In many instances a primary factor in setting salary
         levels is the Company's desire to provide compensation sufficient to
         induce these individuals to join the Company. A proxy survey of peer
         group companies is conducted periodically.

Stock Option Awards and Restricted Stock Grants

         Equity-based compensation comprises a significant portion of the
Company's executive officer compensation programs. These plans are administered
solely by the Compensation Committee. These are the two plans utilized for this
component of the executive office long-term, equity-oriented compensation. These
involve stock options and restricted stock grants.

         Stock options provide executive officers and certain other key
employees with the opportunity to achieve an equity interest in the Company.
Stock options are granted at 100% of the fair market price on the date of the
grant and vest over a period of five years, with 20% of such options vesting
each year during the five-year period. See "Stock Option Plan."

         The object is to emphasize a long-term focus by key employees in the
acquisition and holding of common stock. The number of stock options granted is
based on the individual's potential to contribute to the future growth of the
Company. The frequency and size of individual grant amounts vary with changes in
the individual's potential to contribute to the future growth of the Company.
The number of options required to achieve target grant values based on the
prevailing fair market value of the common stock serves in part to determine the
number of shares granted annually.

Restricted Stock

         Restricted stock grants are designed to be granted on a selective basis
to key employees to further focus them on the long-term performance of the
Company. Grants of restricted stock are subject to forfeiture if a grantee,
among other conditions, fails to perform or leaves prior to the expiration of
the restricted period. Restricted periods are generally from two to four years.

Target Stock Ownership

         The Company's Board of Directors and management believe that
significant stock ownership is a major incentive in building stockholder value
and aligning the interests of executives and stockholders. The Board has adopted
guidelines for minimum target ownership by senior executives.

         Guidelines are based upon a multiple of base salary and range from .75
to 3 times annual salary amounts.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

         The compensation arrangements for Mr. Aginsky with respect to the 1997
fiscal year are based upon the terms of his employment agreement with the
Company, which was originally entered into in June 1997. Pursuant to the
employment agreement, Mr. Aginsky is entitled to an annual salary of $125,000
for the year ended June 1998. The Company has agreed with the Underwriters that
the compensation of the Company's executive officers, division managers and
regional operating managers will not exceed $125,000 for any of such individuals
for a period of 13 months from the closing of the Offering; i.e., December 1998.

   
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

         During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, Phillip C. Aginsky,
Dan I. Bailey and Peter Goletz participated in deliberations of the Company's
Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation.

(1)      The address of each of the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the
         Company's Common Stock is c/o Tekgraf, Inc., 6000 Lake Forrest Drive, 
         Suite 110, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.
    


   
(2)      In accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a person is
         deemed to be the beneficial owner, for purposes of this table, of any
         shares of Common Stock if such person has or shares voting power or
         investment power with respect to such security, or has the right to
         acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days from April 10,
         1998. As used herein, "voting power" is the power to vote or direct the
         voting of shares and "investment power" is the power to dispose or
         direct the disposition of shares. 
    

   
(3)      If shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the same person or
         group, excludes shares of Class B Common Stock that are convertible
         into a corresponding number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
    

   
(4)      In November 1997, certain of the pre-acquisition stockholders,
         including Messrs. Bailey and Goletz, pledged all of their shares (an
         aggregate of 559,333 shares) to Anita in connection with personal loans
         and granted Anita voting proxies with respect to such shares. The
         pledged shares have been included in the number and percent of shares
         beneficially owned for both Anita and the respective pledgors. The
         percent of voting power figures, however, attribute the voting power of
         such shares solely to Anita. Beneficial ownership also reflects sales
         of shares by Messrs. Rychel and Gust to certain other current
         stockholders of the Company, which occurred in November, 1997.
    

   
(5)      Represents shares of Class A Common Stock that were part of the 100,000
         units that Anita, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Woolsey purchased in the Offering.
         The components of such Units may not be sold or transferred for one
         year, which year began on November 10, 1997. This table does not
         reflect the corresponding number of Warrants that were purchased as
         part of the Units.

         Trust, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Aginsky's father. The trustee of
         the New Freedom Trust, appointed by Mr. Aginsky's father-in-law, as

(8)      Represents options that were granted and became exercisable on March 1,
         1998, representing shares that Mr. Camp has the right to purchase at an
         exercise price of $3.00/share.

(9)      Includes shares held in escrow pursuant to Sections 1.3(e) and 5.6 of
         the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, Tekgraf Sub
         I, CGT and its shareholders.

   
(10)     This information is based solely on a Schedule 13G, dated February 12,

               APPROVAL OF REINCORPORATION IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA
                                  (PROPOSAL 3)


   
         The Board of Directors has proposed that the Company be reincorporated
in the State of Georgia by merging into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
that is incorporated in the State of Georgia (the "Subsidiary") pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between the Company and
the Subsidiary and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware
Law and the Georgia Business Corporation Code ("Georgia Law") (the "Merger"). As
the surviving corporation in the Merger, the Subsidiary will succeed to all the
business, properties, assets and liabilities of the Company, and upon the
effectiveness of the merger will change its name to "Tekgraf, Inc." ("New
Tekgraf"). The stockholders of the Company will automatically become
stockholders of New Tekgraf. After the Merger, the rights of the Company's
stockholders will be governed by Georgia Law, rather than by Delaware Law. In
connection with the Merger, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Subsidiary, which, except for certain provisions that are unique to Georgia Law,
are identical to the Company's current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws,
will become the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Tekgraf. The name of
the subsidiary has not yet been chosen. Its principal executive offices will be
located at 6000 Lake Forrest Drive, Suite 110, Atlanta, Georgia 30328 and its
telephone number will be (404) 252-0201. The Subsidiary will not conduct any
business and will be formed for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation.
    

         IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER, STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY WILL NOT HAVE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL UNDER SECTION 262 OF THE
DELAWARE LAW.


PRINCIPAL REASON FOR REINCORPORATION

         The State of Delaware requires a Delaware corporation to pay an annual
franchise tax based on either: (i) the number of shares of capital stock
authorized in its Certificate of Incorporation; or (ii) the assumed par value of
its authorized shares of capital stock. The minimum franchise tax is $30 and the
maximum franchise tax is $150,000. Based on the number of shares of capital
stock currently authorized in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the
Company would be required to pay $150,000 per year in franchise tax as a
Delaware corporation. The assumed par value alternative currently produces a
Delaware franchise tax of approximately $150,000 per year.

         In contrast, the State of Georgia requires a Georgia corporation to pay
franchise taxes based on the corporation's net worth. Net worth consists of
total capital stock issued (including treasury stock), paid in capital, and
retained earnings. The minimum tax is $10 and the maximum tax is $5,000, which
is reached when net worth exceeds $22 million. The Company's net worth currently
exceeds this threshold, and for 1997 the Company would be required to pay
approximately $5,000 per year in franchise taxes as a Georgia corporation. As a
result, the Company would save approximately $145,000 annually in franchise
taxes by changing its state of incorporation from Delaware to Georgia, assuming
no change in the number of authorized shares. Reincorporation in Georgia will
also further the Company's identification with the State of Georgia in which its
headquarters and a substantial percentage of its employees are located. The
Company has no significant business operations in Delaware.


MERGER AGREEMENT

   
         The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement and certain related matters. The form of the Merger Agreement is
attached as Exhibit A hereto.
    

         The Merger. At the time a certificate of merger is filed with the
Secretary of State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of Georgia (which is
expected to be as soon as is practicable following the Meeting), the Company
will be merged with and into the Subsidiary, the Company's legal existence as a
Delaware corporation

will cease and the Company will become a Georgia corporation. Although the
Subsidiary is technically the surviving corporation in the Merger, the
Subsidiary is a "shell" corporation with no assets or liabilities, and thus the
practical effect of the Merger will be the reincorporation of the Company in
Georgia. The Merger will not result in any change in the name, business,
management, location of the Company's principal executive offices or other
facilities, assets, liabilities, net worth or accounting practices. In addition,
all of the directors, officers and employees of the Company will, upon
consummation of the Merger, become officers, directors and employees of New
Tekgraf, and the Merger will have no effect on the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by each stockholder of the Company.

         Conversion of Shares. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each
outstanding share of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, par
value $.001 ("New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock"), and one share of Class B
Common Stock, par value $.001 ("New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock"),
respectively, of New Tekgraf, as the surviving corporation in the Merger. New
Tekgraf Class A Common Stock and New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock will be
entitled to the same rights, powers, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions as the presently outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock, respectively, although some differences will arise as a result of
the application of Georgia Law. See "Comparison of Stockholders' Rights."
Following the Merger, the Class A Common Stock will continue to trade in the
same manner as before, and still under the symbol "TKGFA," on Nasdaq. In
addition, all of the outstanding Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock will be converted into Warrants to purchase shares of New
Tekgraf Class A Common Stock, upon the same terms and conditions as the existing
Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, and will
continue to trade in the same manner as before, and still under the symbol
"TKGFW" on Nasdaq. In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
Company Class A Common Stock will be converted into an option to purchase the
same number of shares of New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock on the same terms and
conditions, including the same exercise price, applicable to any such option to
purchase shares of Company Class A Common Stock.

        Exchange of Stock Certificates. As of the effectiveness of the Merger,
each outstanding certificate representing shares of Class A Common Stock will be
deemed to represent an identical number of shares of New Tekgraf Class A Common
Stock, and each outstanding certificate representing shares of Class B Common
Stock will be deemed to represent an identical number of shares of New Tekgraf
Class B Common Stock. Thus, it will not be necessary for stockholders of the
Company to exchange their existing stock certificates to reflect their ownership
of New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock or New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock. For
those stockholders who wish to receive new stock certificates issued by New
Tekgraf, the Company will arrange for American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., the
Company's transfer agent, to exchange certificates representing shares of Class
A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for certificates representing an equal
number of shares of New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock or New Tekgraf Class B
Common Stock, respectively. COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS WHO WISH TO SEND IN THEIR
CERTIFICATES SHOULD CONTACT AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST CO. AT (212)
936-5100 ATTN: MR. JOE WOLF.


        Condition to the Reincorporation. The Merger is subject to the approval
of the stockholders of the Company. The affirmative vote of majority of the
votes of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock, voting together, entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the
Merger.

         Termination; Amendment. The Merger Agreement may be terminated or
abandoned by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Subsidiary at any time
prior to the filing of the appropriate certificates or articles of merger with
the Secretaries of State of Georgia and Delaware. The Board of Directors or
officers of the Company and the Subsidiary may jointly amend, modify and
supplement the Merger Agreement prior to the effective time of the Merger in
such manner as they may deem appropriate at any time before approval of the
Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders. Any amendment, modification or
supplement to the Merger Agreement after its approval by the Company's
stockholders but prior to the effective time of the Merger will require the
approval of the Company's stockholders unless the amendment, modification or
supplement to the Merger Agreement (i) does not alter (a) the amount or kind of
shares to be received thereunder in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock,
or (b) any term of the Articles of Incorporation of New Tekgraf as provided 



                                       24
<PAGE>   29

for in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) does not alter any of the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement in a manner that would adversely affect the
holders of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock.


OTHER CHANGES AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS

        Differences between Delaware and Georgia Law will result in certain
changes affecting stockholders as a result of the reincorporation of the Company
in Georgia. For a discussion of certain significant differences between Delaware
and Georgia Law relevant to the Merger, see "Comparison of Stockholders'
Rights."

   
         The Articles of Incorporation of New Tekgraf after the Merger will be
the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company in all material
respects, except for those provisions that are unique to Georgia Law. New
Tekgraf will be authorized to issue 31,666,667 shares of Class A Common Stock,
$.001 par value, 3,333,333 shares of Class B Common Stock, $.001 par value, and
up to 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock. Like the current shares
of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company, the New
Tekgraf Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share and New
Tekgraf Class B Common Stock will be entitled to five votes per share. Like the
current shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, shares of New
Tekgraf Class A Common Stock and New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock will entitle
their holders to participate together, pro rata based on the number of shares
held, in the payment of cash dividends and the liquidation, dissolution and
winding up of New Tekgraf, subject to the rights of the holders, if any, of the
Preferred Stock of New Tekgraf. Also like the current shares of Class B Common
Stock, each share of New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock will be convertible into
one share of New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the
holder, or automatically upon: (a) its sale, gift or transfer, except in the
case of a transfer to a trust for which the original holder acts as sole trustee
or to any other holder of New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock; (b) the death of the
original holder thereof, including in the case of the original holder having
transferred the New Tekgraf Class B Common Stock to a trust for which the
original holder served as a trustee during his or her lifetime; or (c) the
conversion of an aggregate of 75% of the authorized shares of New Tekgraf Class
B Common Stock into New Tekgraf Class A Common Stock.  The form of the Articles
of Incorporation of the Subsidiary, which will become the Articles of
Incorporation of New Tekgraf, is attached as Exhibit B hereto.
    

   
         The Bylaws of New Tekgraf will be the same as the Bylaws of the Company
in all material respects, except for changes necessary to conform to Georgia
Law.  The form of the Bylaws of the Subsidiary, which will become the Bylaws of
New Tekgraf, is attached as Exhibit C hereto.
    

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION

        The following is a summary of the material federal income tax
consequences of the Merger to the Company and its stockholders.

        The merger of the Company into the Subsidiary, as described above, will
constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F)
of the Code. As a result, for federal income tax purposes:

              (1)Neither the Company nor its stockholders will recognize any
         gain or loss by reason of the conversion of Common Stock into New
         Tekgraf Common Stock.

              (2)The shares of New Tekgraf Common Stock issued as a result of
         the Merger in the hands of a stockholder will have an aggregate basis
         for computing gain or loss equal to the aggregate basis of shares of
         Common Stock held by the stockholder.

              (3)The holding period of the shares of New Tekgraf Common Stock
         issued as a result of the Merger in the hands of a stockholder will
         include the period during which the stockholder held the shares 



                                       25
<PAGE>   30

         of Common Stock prior to the merger provided the shares of Common Stock
         were held as a capital asset on the date of conversion.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS

         If the Merger is consummated, holders of shares of Common Stock will
become holders of New Tekgraf Common Stock, which will result in their rights as
stockholders being governed by Georgia Law. The following summary compares
certain rights of the Company's stockholders under the Delaware Law and the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws with their rights under the
Georgia Law and New Tekgraf's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The
following summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of
the Company's stockholders under the Georgia Law and the New Tekgraf Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws as compared with their rights under the Delaware Law
and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. This summary is
qualified in its entirety by New Tekgraf's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws,
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Georgia Law and the
Delaware Law, to which stockholders are referred.

        Corporate Case Law. It is generally recognized that Delaware has the
most extensive and well-defined body of corporate case law in the United States.
Because many corporations are incorporated in Delaware, the Delaware judiciary
has acquired considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a
substantial number of decisions have been rendered construing Delaware Law and
establishing public policies for Delaware corporations. Although Georgia courts
have also rendered many decisions in the area of corporate law, these cases are
not litigated as frequently in Georgia as they are in Delaware. Consequently, if
the Company were to remain a Delaware corporation, it would have the benefit of
a more established and refined body of case law interpreting the Delaware Law
(including corporate control issues) than exists for the Georgia Law, and, in
many instances there could be greater predictability with respect to the legal
affairs of the company as a Delaware corporation rather than as a Georgia
corporation.

         Election of Directors. Under Delaware Law, directors, are elected by
the stockholders. The Company's Bylaws provide that vacancies on the board of
directors may be filled by a majority of directors then in office, including
those who have resigned. The certificate of incorporation or the bylaws also may
allow the stockholders or the board of directors to fix or change the number of
directors, but a corporation must have at least one director. The Company's
Certificate of Incorporation does not so provide. Under Delaware Law,
stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights unless the certificate of
incorporation so provides. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation does not
so provide.

         Upon consummation of the Merger, the former stockholders of the Company
will have rights under Georgia Law in the election of directors similar to those
provided by Delaware Law. Directors, unless their terms are staggered pursuant
to the corporation's articles of incorporation or a bylaw adopted by the
shareholders, are elected at each annual shareholder meeting under Georgia Law,
and vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by the shareholders or
directors, unless the articles of incorporation or a bylaw approved by the
shareholders provides otherwise. The articles of incorporation may authorize the
election of certain directors by one or more classes or series of shares. The
articles of incorporation or the bylaws also may allow the shareholders or the
board of directors to fix or change the number of directors. Currently, the
Company's Bylaws provide that the number of members of the Board of Directors
shall be fixed by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than three.
Neither the Articles nor the Bylaws provide for a staggered board of directors.
The New Tekgraf Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting.

         Removal of Directors. Under Delaware Law, directors of a corporation
may be removed with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote at an election, except in instances involving classified boards
or corporations with cumulative voting, in which cases other provisions apply.

         Georgia Law provides that, unless director terms are staggered,
directors may be removed with or without cause by a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast, unless the articles of incorporation or a bylaw adopted by
the shareholders provides that directors may be removed only for cause,
provided, however, that if a director is elected by a particular voting group of
shareholders, that director may only be removed by the requisite vote of



                                       26
<PAGE>   31

that voting group. The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of New Tekgraf
contain no provisions that a director may be removed only for cause and, because
director terms are not staggered, directors of New Tekgraf may be removed with
or without cause.

         Vacancies on the Board of Directors. Under Delaware Law, the board of
directors of a corporation may fill any vacancy on the board, including
vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. The Bylaws
provide that any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be
filled by a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have
so resigned.

         Under Georgia Law, the articles of incorporation or a bylaw approved by
the shareholders may make specific provision for filling vacancies on the board
of directors. The Bylaws of New Tekgraf contain the same provision as the Bylaws
of the Company. A director elected to fill a vacancy created by the removal or
resignation of a director shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her
predecessor.

         Action by Written Consent. Delaware Law provides that, unless limited
by the certificate of incorporation, any action that could be taken by
stockholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent (or
consents) in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the
holders of record of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number
of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

         Subject to compliance with certain requirements, Georgia Law provides
that any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders at a
meeting may be taken by the shareholders without a meeting if evidenced by one
or more written consents describing the action taken, signed and dated by all
shareholders entitled to vote on such action, or, if the articles of
incorporation provide for less than all shareholders, by persons who would be
entitled to vote shares at a meeting having the voting power to cast not less
than the minimum number (or numbers, in the case of voting by groups) of votes
that would be necessary to take action at a meeting at which all shareholders
entitled to vote were present and voted. The Articles of New Tekgraf provide for
such consent by less than all shares in this manner.

         Special Meetings of Shareholders. Delaware Law provides that special
meetings of the stockholders of a corporation may be called by the corporation's
board of directors or by such other persons as may be authorized in the
corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Georgia Law permits the
board of directors or any person authorized in the corporation's articles of
incorporation or bylaws to call special meetings of shareholders. Except in the
case of a corporation having 100 or fewer shareholders of record, a special
meeting may also be called by at least 25% or such greater or lesser percentage
of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at
the special meeting as may be provided in the corporation's articles of
incorporation or bylaws.

        Vote Required for Certain Transactions. Under the Delaware Law, a
merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of a corporation's
assets generally must be approved by the stockholders of each constituent
corporation by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock
entitled to vote on the transaction. Stockholders of the surviving corporation
need not approve a merger if: (i) the corporation's certificate of incorporation
will not be amended as a result of the merger; (ii) each share of the
corporation's stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the
merger will be an identical outstanding or treasury share of the corporation
after the effective date of the merger; and (iii) either no shares of the
corporation's common stock and no securities convertible into such stock will be
issued pursuant to the merger or the authorized unissued shares or treasury
shares of the corporation's common stock to be issued pursuant to the merger
plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other securities to be
issued in the merger do not exceed 20% of the shares of the corporation's common
stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.

        In connection with the approval of proposed mergers and share exchanges,
the Georgia Law generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all
votes entitled to be cast on the plan for such transaction by all shares
entitled to vote on the plan, voting as a single group, and the affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares of each
voting group entitled to vote as a group under the corporation's 



                                       27
<PAGE>   32

articles of incorporation. The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
a corporation must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the
votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Under the Georgia Law, stockholders of
the surviving corporation need not approve a merger if: (i) the articles of
incorporation of the corporation will not differ from its articles before the
merger (except for certain amendments permitted under the Georgia Law without
shareholder approval); (ii) each share of stock of the corporation outstanding
immediately before the effective date of the merger is to be an identical
outstanding or reacquired share immediately after the merger; and (iii) the
number and kind of shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the
number and kind of shares issuable as a result of the merger and by conversion
of securities issued pursuant to the merger or the exercise of rights and
warrants issued pursuant to the merger, will not exceed the total number and
kind of shares of the surviving corporation authorized by its articles of
incorporation immediately before the merger.

         Business Combination Provisions. The Company is currently subject to
provisions of the Delaware Law restricting the Company's ability to engage in
business combination transactions with certain significant shareholders, and, if
it so elects, will be subject to similar restrictions under the Georgia Law as a
Georgia corporation. These business combination provisions prohibit certain
business combinations between a corporation and any person who has acquired
beneficial ownership of 10% (Delaware, 15%) or more of the voting stock of the
corporation (an "interested stockholder") for a period of five (Delaware, three)
years from the date such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless
(i) such interested stockholder, prior to becoming an interested stockholder,
obtained the approval of the Board of Directors of either the business
combination or the transaction that resulted in such person becoming an
interested stockholder, (ii) such interested stockholder became the beneficial
owner of at least 90% (Delaware, 85%) of the outstanding shares of voting stock
of the corporation (excluding shares owned by persons who are directors,
officers, their affiliates or associates and by subsidiaries of the corporation
and certain employee stock plans) in the same transaction in which the
interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or (iii) on or
subsequent to the date the interested stockholder became an interested
stockholder, either (a) under the Delaware Law, the business combination is
approved by the Board of Directors and is authorized at a meeting of
stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting stock
that is not owned by the interested stockholder or (b) under the Georgia Law,
the interested stockholder, subsequent to becoming an interested stockholder,
becomes the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the voting stock of the
corporation (excluding shares owned by persons who are directors or officers,
their affiliates or associates and by subsidiaries of the corporation and
certain employee stock plans) and the business combination is approved by
holders of a majority of the voting stock entitled to vote, excluding voting
stock beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or by persons who are
directors or officers and by subsidiaries and certain employee stock plans.
Georgia law also authorizes a corporation to adopt a bylaw provision which
requires special approval by the board of directors and/or the shareholders for
certain business combinations with interested shareholders.

        Conflicting Interest Transactions. The Delaware Law states that
contracts and transactions between a Delaware corporation and one or more of its
directors or officers, or organizations in which they serve in such capacities
or have a financial interest, will not be void or voidable solely because of
that relationship or because such director or officer is present at or
participates in a board or committee meeting authorizing the contract or
transaction if: (i) the material facts of the relationship or interest and as to
the contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the Board or committee and
the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors (even if the
disinterested directors are less than a quorum); or (ii) the material facts as
to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and the
contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by the
stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair to the corporation as
of the time that it is authorized by the Board, a committee thereof or the
stockholders.

        The Georgia Law states that a director's conflicting interest
transaction may not be enjoined, set aside, or give rise to an award of damages
or other sanctions, in an action by a stockholder or by or in the right of the
corporation, on the ground of an interest in the transaction of such director or
any person with whom such director has a personal, economic or other
association, if (i) the transaction receives the affirmative vote of a majority
(but not less than two) disinterested directors on the Board or a committee
thereof after such directors are made aware of the nature and effect of the
conflicting interest; (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by
shares, other than shares beneficially owned or the voting of which is
controlled by the director(s) having the



                                       28
<PAGE>   33

conflicting interest, were cast in favor of the transaction after (A) notice to
the stockholders describing the conflicting interest transaction, (B) disclosure
by such director, prior to the stockholders' vote, to the Secretary of the
Company, of the number and identity of the persons holding or controlling the
vote of all shares that to the knowledge of the director are beneficially owned
(or the voting of which is controlled) by such director or by a related person
of the director, or both, and (C) disclosure to the stockholders of the
existence and nature of the director's conflicting interest and all facts known
to the interested director with respect to the subject matter that an ordinarily
prudent person would reasonably believe to be material to a judgment as to
whether to proceed with the transaction; or (iii) the transaction, judged in the
circumstances at the time of commitment, is established to have been fair to the
corporation. Similar provisions of the Georgia Law applicable to directors'
conflicting interest transactions also apply to officers' conflicting interest
transactions.

        Appraisal Rights. Under both the Delaware Law and the Georgia Law,
subject to certain limitations, stockholders have the right to dissent from a
merger or consolidation and receive the "fair value" of their shares, determined
in accordance with a judicial proceeding. The Georgia Law also affords such
dissenters' rights to stockholders in the event of (i) consummation of a plan of
share exchange, or the sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the
corporation's assets, if stockholders are entitled to vote on the transaction;
(ii) amendments to the corporation's articles of incorporation that materially
and adversely affect rights in respect of a dissenter's shares; and (iii) any
corporate action taken pursuant to a stockholder vote, to the extent that
Article 9 of the Georgia Law, the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or a
resolution of the board of directors provides that shareholders are entitled to
dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Under the Delaware Law, dissenters'
rights of appraisal are not provided to stockholders if the corporation's shares
are listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq or held of record by more
than 2,000 holders, or if the corporation is the surviving corporation in a
merger that did not require the approval of the corporation's stockholders,
unless holders of the corporation's shares are required by the terms of the
agreement of merger or consolidation to accept in exchange for their shares
anything except (i) shares of the surviving corporation; (ii) shares of any
other corporation listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq or held of
record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares;
or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. Under the Georgia Law, dissenters'
rights of appraisal are not available when the affected shares are listed on a
national securities exchange (which is defined to include Nasdaq) or held of
record by more than 2,000 stockholders unless (a) the articles of incorporation
or a resolution of the board of directors approving the transaction provides
otherwise or (b) in a plan of merger or share exchange, the holders of such
shares are required to accept anything other than shares of the surviving
corporation or another publicly-held corporation listed on a national securities
exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, except for scrip or
cash in lieu of fractional shares.

         Indemnification and Exculpation of Directors and Officers. Under both
the Delaware Law and the Georgia Law, a corporation is required to indemnify a
director to the extent that the director has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because of
his status as a director of the corporation. It may indemnify any director or
officer made a party to a proceeding if such director or officer acted in good
faith and in a manner he believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation (and, in Georgia, in those cases in which the individual was
not acting in his official capacity, if such individual's conduct was at least
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation), and, in the case of any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify a director or officer for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation, except that such indemnification is not
permitted if the individual has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless
the court determines that the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses in view of the circumstances of the case.
Similarly, a Georgia corporation may indemnify a director or officer for
reasonable expenses in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, provided that it is determined that the director or officer has met
the relevant standard of conduct under the Georgia Law. Indemnification is
prohibited under the Georgia Law if the director or officer was adjudged liable
in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or on the
basis that a personal benefit was improperly received by him. If authorized by
the articles of incorporation or approved by shareholders, the Georgia Law
permits a Georgia corporation to indemnify directors without regard to the
limitations set forth in the Georgia Law, except that the corporation cannot
indemnify any director for liability (a) for any appropriation, in violation of
the director's duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (b) for
acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (c) for any type of



                                       29
<PAGE>   34

liability set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the Georgia Law (dealing with payment
of unlawful dividends), or (d) for any transaction from which he received an
improper personal benefit.

        The Company's Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to
indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
Law. Similarly, New Tekgraf's Articles of Incorporation require indemnification
of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Law.

         Amendments to Certificate or Articles of Incorporation. The Delaware
Law permits a corporation to amend its certificate of incorporation so long as
the amended certificate of incorporation contains only provisions that could be
lawfully and properly included in an original certificate of incorporation filed
at the time the amendment is filed. Amendments must be adopted by the Board of
Directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled
to vote thereon and by a majority of the outstanding stock of each class
entitled to vote as a class with respect to the amendment. Class voting or the
vote of a series within a class is required when a proposed amendment would
increase or decrease the number or par value of the authorized shares of a class
or series, respectively, or adversely affect the powers, preferences or special
rights of the shares of a class or series, respectively.

        The Georgia Law requires the approval of a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast on the amendment by each voting group entitled to vote on
the amendment to amend a corporation's articles of incorporation, except that
the board of directors may amend the articles of incorporation without obtaining
shareholder approval to: (i) extend the corporation's duration if it was
incorporated at a time the Georgia Law required limited duration; (ii) delete
the names and addresses of the initial directors, initial registered agent,
registered office or incorporator; (iii) delete the mailing address of the
initial principal office of the corporation if an annual registration is on file
with the Georgia Secretary of State; (iv) change each issued or each issued and
unissued authorized share of an outstanding class of stock into a greater number
of whole shares if the corporation has only shares of that class outstanding;
(v) change or eliminate the par value of each issued and unissued share of an
outstanding class if the corporation has only shares of that class outstanding;
or (v) change the corporate name.

        Amendments to Bylaws. Under the Delaware Law, the power to adopt, amend
or repeal bylaws rests with those stockholders entitled to vote on such matters,
except that a corporation's certificate of incorporation may additionally confer
such power upon the directors. Conferring the power to adopt, amend or repeal
bylaws upon the directors does not limit the stockholders' power to adopt, amend
or repeal bylaws. Consistent with the Delaware Law, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation permits the Board of Directors to amend the Bylaws.

        The Georgia Law permits a corporation's board of directors to amend,
repeal or adopt bylaws, unless (i) the articles of incorporation reserve this
power exclusively to the shareholders in whole or in part or (ii) the
shareholders, in amending or repealing a particular bylaw, expressly reserve the
power to amend or repeal that particular bylaw. A Georgia corporation's
shareholders may amend or repeal the corporation's bylaws or adopt new bylaws
even though the bylaws may also be amended or repealed by the Board of
Directors. A bylaw limiting the authority of the Board of Directors or
establishing staggered terms for directors may only be adopted, amended or
repealed by the shareholders. The Subsidiary has taken no action to restrict the
ability of its board of directors to amend its Bylaws, and thus the Board of
Directors of New Tekgraf will be able to amend the Bylaws of New Tekgraf just as
the Board of Directors of the Company can amend its Bylaws.

        Dividends and Distributions. A Delaware corporation, unless otherwise
restricted by its certificate of incorporation, may pay dividends out of
surplus, or if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in
which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year (but the
directors may not declare and pay dividends out of such net profits if the
amount of capital of the corporation is less than the aggregate amount of
capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having
preference upon the distribution of assets). The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation contains no provisions restricting dividends on Company Common
Stock except to the extent that preferred stock of the Company has a preference
as to dividends.

        Unless provided otherwise by its articles of incorporation, a Georgia
corporation may pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to its
shares if after the dividend or distribution the corporation has the ability to
pay its debts as they become due and does not have total assets less than all
liabilities and the amount



                                       30
<PAGE>   35

necessary to satisfy all preferential rights if the corporation were to be
dissolved at the time of distribution. New Tekgraf's Articles of Incorporation
do not limit its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions on New
Tekgraf Common Stock except to the extent that New Tekgraf preferred stock has a
preference as to dividends.

        Preemptive Rights. Stockholders of the Company do not currently have
preemptive rights to purchase unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Consistent with the Georgia Law, the stockholders will also not be entitled to
preemptive rights to purchase unissued shares of New Tekgraf.

         Rights of Inspection. Delaware Law allows any stockholder, upon written
demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, to have the right during the
usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation's
stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and
to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose means a purpose
reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder.

         Georgia Law permits any shareholder who gives at least five business
days' written notice to the corporation to have the right to inspect and copy,
during normal business hours, at the principal office of the corporation,
certain of the corporation's books and records, including: (i) the articles of
incorporation and the bylaws currently in effect; (ii) all resolutions adopted
by shareholders or the board of directors increasing or decreasing the number of
directors, the classification of directors, if any, and the names and residence
addresses of all members of the board of directors; (iii) resolutions adopted by
the board of directors creating one or more classes or series of shares, and
fixing their relative rights, if any, if shares issued under the resolutions are
outstanding; (iv) resolutions adopted by the board of directors that affect the
size of the board of directors; (v) the minutes of all shareholders' meetings
and executed written consents evidencing all action taken by shareholders
without a meeting for the past three years; (vi) all written communications to
shareholders generally within the past three years, including the annual
financial statements furnished as provided in Georgia Law Section 14-2-1620;
(vii) the names and business addresses of the corporation's current directors
and officers; and (vii) the most recent annual registration of the corporation
filed with the Georgia Secretary of State. A shareholder is also entitled to
receive, upon written request, a copy of the corporation's most recent balance
sheet and profit and loss statement.

         A shareholder has only a qualified right to inspect certain other
specified records of the corporation, including (i) excerpts from minutes of any
meeting of the board, records of action of a committee of the board of directors
while acting for the board, minutes of meetings of shareholders, and records of
action taken by shareholders or the board of directors without a meeting, to the
extent not subject to inspection under the mandatory inspection and copying
provision; (ii) accounting records of the corporation; and (iii) the record of
shareholders.

         Stockholder Suits. Under Delaware Law, a stockholder may institute a
lawsuit against one or more directors, either on his own behalf, or derivatively
on behalf of the corporation. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware Law enables a
corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit, and the
Company's Certificate limits, the personal liability of a director for monetary
damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i) for any
breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for liability pursuant to
Section 174 of the Delaware Law (providing for liability of directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or
(iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal
benefit.

         Under Georgia Law, a shareholder may institute a lawsuit against one or
more directors, either on his or her own behalf, or derivatively on behalf of
the corporation. As noted previously, Georgia Law contains a provision allowing
a corporation, through a provision in its articles of incorporation, to limit or
eliminate the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take
any action, as a director except in certain enumerated circumstances. The
Company's Articles contain such a provision and thereby limit the liability of
directors to the Company and the shareholders, except for liability (i) for any
appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of
the corporation; (ii) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful distributions; or (iv) for any
transaction from which a director received an improper personal benefit.

STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE MERGER

        Approval of the Merger to change the Company's state of incorporation

                  DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

   
         The Company provides all stockholders with the opportunity, under
certain circumstances, to participate in the governance of the Company by
submitting proposals that they believe merit consideration at the next Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, which currently is expected to be held in May 1999. To
enable management to analyze and respond adequately to proposals and to prepare
appropriate proposals for presentation in the Company's Proxy Statement for the
next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, any such proposal should be submitted to
the Company no later than January 20, 1999, to the attention of its Secretary,
at its principal place of business in Atlanta, Georgia. Stockholders may also
submit the names of individuals who they wish to be considered by the Board of
Directors as nominees for directors.
    


VOTING PROCEDURES

chairman of the Annual Meeting to act as inspectors of election for the Annual
meeting. All shares represented and entitled to vote on a proposal, whether
voted for or against the proposal, or abstaining from voting, will be counted as
present and entitled to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention from
voting on the proposal by a stockholder present in person or represented by
proxy at the Annual Meeting will have the same legal effect as a vote against
the matter, even though the stockholder may interpret an abstention differently.

                                       AND

                                 PLAN OF MERGER



         THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is entered into as of this _____ day
of _______________, 1998, by and between Tekgraf, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Tekgraf"), and [Subsidiary], Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Georgia ("Subsidiary"). The
names of the corporations planning to merge are Tekgraf, Inc., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and [Subsidiary], Inc., a

     1.   Tekgraf shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Georgia Business
Corporation Code and the Delaware General Corporation Law be merged with and
into Subsidiary, which shall be the surviving corporation and which is sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the "surviving corporation", and which shall continue
to exist as said surviving corporation under the name "Tekgraf, Inc.", pursuant
to the provisions of the laws of the State of Georgia. The separate existence of
Tekgraf, which is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "non-surviving
corporation", shall cease when the merger takes effect in accordance with the
provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code and the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

     2.   The Certificate of Incorporation of the surviving corporation when the
Merger takes effect in the jurisdiction of its organization shall be the

of Incorporation shall continue in full force and effect until amended and
changed in the manner prescribed by the provisions of the laws of the
jurisdiction of organization of the surviving corporation.

     3.   The bylaws of the surviving corporation when the Merger takes effect
in the jurisdiction of its organization shall be the bylaws of said surviving
corporation and shall continue in full force and effect until changed, altered
or amended as therein provided and in the manner prescribed by the provisions of
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

     4.   The members of the Board of Directors and the officers in office of
the non-surviving corporation when the merger takes effect in the jurisdiction
of its organization shall continue to be the members of the Board of Directors
and the officers of the surviving corporation, all of whom shall hold their
directorships and offices until the election and qualification of their
respective successors or until their tenure is otherwise terminated in
accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the surviving corporation.

     5.   Each issued share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of
the non-surviving corporation when the merger takes effect shall be converted
into one share of Class A Common Stock, $.001 par value, or Class B Common
Stock, $.001 par value, respectively, of the surviving corporation. The issued
shares of the surviving corporation shall not be converted or exchanged in any
manner or any consideration be delivered therefor, and each said share which is
issued as of the effective date of the merger shall be cancelled.

     6.   The Plan of Merger herein made and approved shall be submitted to the
shareholders of the non-surviving corporation for their approval or rejection in
the manner prescribed by the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
and the merger of the non-surviving corporation with and into the surviving
corporation shall be authorized in the manner prescribed by the Georgia Business
Corporation Code.

     7.   In the event that the Plan of Merger shall have been approved by the
shareholders entitled to vote of the non-surviving corporation in the manner
prescribed by the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and in the
event that the merger of the non-surviving corporation with and into the
surviving corporation shall have been duly authorized in compliance with the
provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, the non-surviving
corporation and the surviving corporation hereby stipulate that they will cause
to be executed and filed and/or recorded any document or documents prescribed by
the laws of the State of Georgia and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and
that they will cause to be executed and filed and/or recorded any document or
documents prescribed by the laws of the State of Georgia and by the laws of the
State of Delaware, and that they will cause to be performed all necessary acts
therein and elsewhere to effectuate the merger.

   
     8.   The surviving corporation hereby agrees that it may be served with
process in the State of Delaware in any proceeding for enforcement of any
obligation of non-surviving corporation, as well as for any obligation of the
surviving corporation resulting from the merger, and hereby irrevocably appoints
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as its agent to accept service
of process in any such suit or other proceedings. The address to which the
Secretary of State shall mail a copy of such process to surviving corporation is
6000 Lake Forrest Drive, Suite 110, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.
    

     9.   The Board of Directors and the proper officers of the non- surviving
corporation and of the surviving corporation, respectively, are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed to do any and all acts and things, and to
make, execute, deliver, file and/or record any and all instruments, papers and
documents which shall be or become necessary, proper or convenient to carry out
or put into effect any of the provisions of this Plan of Merger or of the merger
herein provided for.

     10.  The merger herein provided for shall become effective in the State of
Georgia upon the date of the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary
of State of Georgia.

                            ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                                       OF
                                  TEKGRAF, INC.

                      -----------------------------------

                  FIRST: The name of the corporation is Tekgraf, Inc. (the
"Corporation").

                  SECOND: The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation
shall have authority to issue is Forty Million (40,000,000) shares, consisting
of (i) Thirty-One Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven
(31,666,667) shares of Class A Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the
"Class A Common Stock"); (ii) Three Million Three Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand
Three Hundred Thirty-Three (3,333,333) shares of Class B Common Stock, $.001 par
value per share (the "Class B Common Stock"); and (iii) Five Million (5,000,000)
shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share the ("Preferred Stock").

A.       Common Stock

         (1)      General. The designations, preferences, limitations and
relative rights of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall
be in all respect identical, except as stated in this Certificate of
Incorporation or as otherwise required by law.

         (2)      Voting Rights.

                  (a)      At each meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
and upon each proposal presented at such meeting, every holder of Class A Common
Stock shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of
Class A Common Stock standing in his or her name on the stock transfer records
of the Corporation and every holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to
five votes in person or by proxy for each share of Class B Common Stock standing
in his or her name on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

                  (b)      Except as provided in this Paragraph (2) or as may be
otherwise required by law, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock shall vote together as a single class with respect to all matters.
The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class
then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
vote, voting together as a single class.

                  (c)      Except as may be otherwise required by law or stated
in any Preferred Stock Designation (as defined in Section B of this ARTICLE
SECOND), the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have
the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other
purposes, each holder of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock being
entitled to vote as provided in this Paragraph (2).

         (3)      Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the rights of the
holders of Preferred Stock, and subject to any other provisions of this
Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, holders of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such
dividends and other distributions in cash, in property or in shares of the
Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to
time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor;
provided, however, that no cash, property or share dividend or distribution may
be declared or paid on the outstanding shares of either the Class A Common Stock
or Class B Common Stock unless an identical per share dividend or distribution
is simultaneously declared and paid on the outstanding shares of the other such
class of stock; provided further, however, that a dividend of shares may be
declared and paid in Class A Common Shares to holders of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock if the number of shares paid per share to holders



                                      B-1
<PAGE>   42

of Class A Common Stock and to holders of Class B Common Stock shall be the
same. If the corporation shall in any manner subdivide, combine or reclassify
the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the
outstanding shares of the other such class shall be subdivided, combined or
reclassified proportionally in the same manner and on the same basis as the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case
may be, have been subdivided, combined or reclassified. A dividend in shares of
Class A Common Stock may be paid to the holders of shares of any other class of
the Corporation.

         (4)      Common Stock Subject to Priorities of Preferred Stock. The
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are subject to all the powers,
rights, privileges, preferences and priorities of the Preferred Stock as may be
stated in this Certificate of Incorporation and in any Preferred Stock
Designation.

         (5)      Liquidation Rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders,
if any, of the Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in full the
amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, or a sum sufficient for
such payment in full shall have been set aside, the remaining net assets of the
Corporation shall be distributed pro rata on a share for share basis to the
holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, subject to any
Preferred Stock Designation.

         (6)      No Conversion of Class A Common Stock. The shares of Class A
Common Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class B
Common Stock or any other shares or securities of the Corporation.

         (7)      Conversion of Class B Common Stock.

                  (a)      Optional Conversion. Each record holder of Class B
Common Stock is entitled, at any time or from time to time, to convert any or
all of the shares of such holder's Class B Common Stock into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock for no additional consideration,
at the ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B
Common Stock.

                  (b)      Optional Conversion Procedures.

                           (i)      Each conversion of shares pursuant to
Paragraph (7)(a) hereof shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate or
certificates representing the shares to be converted at the principal office of
the Corporation at any time during normal business hours, together with a
written notice by the holder stating the number of shares that such holder
desires to convert. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of
the close of business on the date on which such certificate or certificates have
been surrendered, and at such time, the rights of any such holder with respect
to the converted shares of such holder will cease and the person or persons in
whose name or names the certificate or certificates for shares are to be issued
upon such conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of
record of such shares represented thereby.

                           (ii)     Promptly after such surrender, the
Corporation will issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder's
instructions the certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion and a certificate representing any Class B Common
Stock which was represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the
Corporation in connection with such conversion, but which was not converted.

                  (c)      Automatic Conversion. Each share of Class B Common
Stock shall (subject to receipt of any and all necessary approvals) convert
automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common
Stock (i) upon its sale, gift or transfer, except in the case of a transfer to a
trust for which the original holder acts as sole trustee or any other holder of
Class B Common Stock; (ii) upon the death of the original holder thereof,
including in the case of the original holder having transferred the Class B
Common Stock to a trust for which the original holder served as trustee during
his or her lifetime; or (iii) upon the conversion of an aggregate of 75% of the
authorized shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.

                  (d)      Issuance Costs. The issuance of certificates upon
conversion of shares pursuant hereto will be made without charge to the holder
or holders of such shares for any issuance tax (except stock transfer tax) in
respect thereof or other costs incurred by the Corporation in connection
therewith.

                  (e)      Reservation of Shares. Solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversation of such shares as herein provided, the Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Class A Common Stock such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as
are then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock
so issuable shall, when so issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and free from liens and charges with respect to such issue. The
Corporation will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that all
such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities
exchange upon which the Class A Common Stock may be listed. The Corporation will
not take any action that results in any adjustment of the conversion ratio if
the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable after
such action upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock would exceed the total
number of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the Certificate of
Incorporation.

         (8)      Reissuance of Shares. Any shares of Class B Common Stock that
are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided herein shall be
retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued.

         The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is hereby expressly authorized
to provide, by resolution or resolutions duly adopted by it prior to issuance,
for the creation of each such series and to fix the designation and the powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to
the shares of each such series (the "Preferred Stock Designation"). The
authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series of Preferred
stock shall include, but not be limited to, determining the following:

         (2)      whether the shares of such series shall have voting rights, in
addition to any voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such
voting rights, which may be general or limited;

         (3)      the dividends, if any, payable on such series, whether any
such dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from what dates, the conditions
and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, and the preference or
relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any shares
of stock of any other class or any other series of Preferred Stock;

         (4)      whether the shares of such series shall be subject to
redemption by the Corporation, and, if so, the times, prices and other
conditions of such redemption;

         (5)      the amount or amounts payable upon shares of such series upon,
and the rights of the holders of such series in, the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or upon any distribution of the assets,
of the Corporation;

         (6)      whether the shares of such series shall be subject to the
operation of a retirement or sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and the
manner in which any such retirement or sinking fund shall be applied to the
purchase or redemption of the shares of such series for retirement or other
corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relating to the operation
thereof;

         (7)      whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into,
or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or any other series of
Preferred Stock or any other securities and, if so, the price or prices or


                                      B-3
<PAGE>   44

the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjusting
the same, and any other terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;

         (8)      the limitations and restrictions, if any, to be effective
while any shares of such series are outstanding upon the payment of dividends or
the making of other distributions on, and upon the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition by the Corporation of, the Common Stock or shares of stock of any
other class or any other series of Preferred Stock;

         (9)      the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the creation of
indebtedness of the Corporation or upon the issue of any additional stock,
including additional shares of such series or of any other series of Preferred
Stock or of any other class; and

         (10)     any other powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and
restrictions, thereof.

C.       The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualification,
limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and
all other series at any time outstanding. All shares of any one series of
Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects with all other shares of such
series, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may
differ as to the dates from which dividends thereof shall be cumulative.

for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting shall
be held in the 5th month following the close of the Corporation's fiscal year,
at such date and time as shall be designated by the Board or Chairman of the
Board or the President, or at such other date and time as the Board shall
designate.

Section 2. Special Meeting. Special Meetings of the Shareholders, unless
otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Board or the
Chairman of the Board or the President. The Board of Directors shall call a

holding not less than 20% of the outstanding stock of the corporation; such
written request shall state the object of the meeting proposed to be held.

Section 3. Notice of Meetings. Notice of the place, date and time of the holding
of each annual and special meeting of the Shareholders and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes thereof shall be given personally or by
mail in a postage prepaid envelope to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such
meeting, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of
such meeting, and, if mailed, it shall be directed to such Shareholder at his
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, unless he shall have
filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to
him be mailed to some other address, in which case it shall be directed to him
at some other address. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered
when deposited in United States mail so addressed with postage thereon prepaid.
Notice of any meeting of Shareholders shall not be required to be given to any
Shareholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy and shall not,
at the beginning of such meeting, object to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or who shall, either
before or after the meeting, submit a signed waiver of notice, in person or by
proxy. Unless the Board shall fix after the adjournment a new record date for an
adjourned meeting, notice of such adjourned meeting need not be given if the
time and place to which the meeting shall be adjourned were announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the
Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the
original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after
the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Shareholder of record entitled
to vote at the meeting.

Section 4. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Shareholders may be held at such
place, within or without the State of Georgia, as the Board or other officer
calling the same shall specify in the notice of such meeting, or in a duly
executed waiver of notice thereof.

Section 5. Quorum. At all meetings of the Shareholders, the holders of a
majority of the votes of the shares of stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be present in person or by proxy to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business, except when
Shareholders are required to vote by class, in which event a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of the appropriate class shall be present in
person or by proxy, or except as otherwise provided by statute or in the
Articles of Incorporation. In the absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority
of the votes of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote, or if no Shareholder entitled to vote is present, then any officer of
the Corporation may adjourn the meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum may be present any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

or inability to act of the Chairman of the Board and the President, a Vice
President, or in the absence of all the foregoing, any person chosen by a
majority of those Shareholders present, shall act as chairman of the meeting.
The Secretary, or, in his absence or inability to act, the Assistant Secretary
or any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary

having voting power shall be entitled at each meeting of the Shareholders to one
vote for every share of such stock standing in his name on the record of
Shareholders of the Corporation on the date fixed by the Board as the record
date for the determination of the Shareholders who shall be entitled to notice
of and to vote at such meeting; or if such record date shall not have been so
fixed, then at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
the meeting is held; or each Shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of
Shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by a proxy
signed by such Shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. Any such proxy shall be
delivered to the secretary of such meeting at or prior to the time designated in
the order of business for so delivering such proxies. No proxy shall be valid
after the expiration of three years from the date thereof, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the
Shareholder executing it, except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy is
permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided by statute, these By-Laws, or the
Articles of Incorporation, any corporate action to be taken by vote of the
Shareholders shall be authorized by a majority of the total votes, or when
Shareholders are required to vote by class by a majority of the votes of the
appropriate class, cast at a meeting of Shareholders by the holders of shares
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such action.
Unless required by statute, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be
advisable, the vote on any question need not be by written ballot. On a vote by
written ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the Shareholder voting, or by his
proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

Section 9. List of Shareholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger
of the Corporation, or the transfer agent of the Corporation's stock, if there
be one then acting, shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of Shareholders, a complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at
the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
Shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each Shareholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any Shareholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, at the place where the meeting is to be held, or at the
office of the transfer agent. The list shall also be produced and kept at the
time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be
inspected by any Shareholder who is present.

Section 10. Inspectors. The Board may, in advance of any meeting of
Shareholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting or any
adjournment thereof. If the inspectors shall not be so appointed or if any of
them shall fail to appear or act, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the
request of any Shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint inspectors.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and
sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with
strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors
shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each,
the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the
validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents,
hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the
right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the
result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with
fairness to all Shareholders. On request of the chairman of the meeting or any
Shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, request or matter determined by them and shall execute
a certificate of any fact found by them. No director or candidate for the office
of director shall act as inspector of an election of directors. Inspectors need
not be Shareholders.

special meeting of such Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting
forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock
having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to

thereafter by like vote be increased or decreased to such greater or lesser
number (not less than three) as may be so provided, subject to the provisions of
Section 11 of this Article II. All of the directors shall be of full age and
need not be Shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute or these
By-Laws, the directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the
Shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, and the
persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast at such meeting shall be
elected. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the
Shareholders and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified,
or until his death, or until he shall have resigned, or have been removed, as
hereinafter provided in these By-Laws, or as otherwise provided by statute or
the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 3. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Board may be held at such place,
within or without the State of Georgia, as the Board may from time to time
determine or as shall be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.

Section 4. Annual Meeting. The Board shall meet for the purpose of organization,
the election of officers and the transaction of other business, as soon as
practicable after each annual meeting of the Shareholders, on the same day and

(within or without the State of Georgia) which shall be specified in a notice
thereof given as hereinafter provided in Section 7 of this Article II.

Section 5. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at such
time and place as the Board may from time to time determine. If any day fixed

be stated the time and place (within or without the State of Georgia) of the
meeting. Notice of each such meeting shall be delivered to each director either

when deposited in the United States mail. Notice of any such meeting need not be
given to any director who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a
signed waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting protesting, prior to or
at its commencement, the lack of notice to him. Except as otherwise specifically

special meeting need not state the purposes of such meeting.

Section 8. Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority of the entire Board shall be
present in person at any meeting of the Board in order to constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business at such meeting, and, except as otherwise
expressly required by statute or the Articles of Incorporation, the act of a
majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Board. Any one or more members of the Board or any
committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or such committee by
means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all
participants in the meeting to hear each other at the same time and
participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. In
the absence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board, a majority of the directors
present thereat, or if no director be present, the Secretary, may adjourn such
meeting to another time and place, or such meeting, unless it be the annual
meeting of the Board, need not be held. At any adjourned meeting at which a
quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called. Except as provided in Article
III of these By-Laws, the directors shall act only as a Board and the individual
directors shall have no power as such.

Section 10. Resignations. Any director of the Corporation may resign at any time
by giving written notice of his resignation to the Board or Chairman of the
Board or the President or the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect
at the time specified therein or, if the time when it shall become effective
shall not be specified therein, immediately upon its receipt; and unless
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective.

Section 11. Vacancies. Vacancies, including newly created directorships, may be

section for the filling of other vacancies.

Section 12. Removal of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles
of Incorporation or in these By-Laws, any director may be removed, either with
or without cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the
election of the Shareholders called and held for that purpose, or by a majority
vote of the Board of Directors at a meeting called for such purpose, and the
vacancy in the Board caused by any such removal may be filled by such
Shareholders or directors, as the case may be, at such meeting, and if the
Shareholders shall fail to fill such vacancy, such vacancy shall be filled in
the manner as provided by these By-Laws.

Section 13. Compensation. The Board shall have authority to fix the
compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for
services to the Corporation in any capacity, provided no such payment shall
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor.

writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the Board or committee.

committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation. The
Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee,
who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the
Committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall
have and may exercise the powers of the Board in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to
be affixed to all papers which may require it; provided, however, that in the
absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the
member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint
another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such

however, the third parties shall not be prejudiced by such revision or
alteration.

the time and place of its meetings, unless the Board shall otherwise provide.
Notice of such meetings shall be given to each member of the committee in the
manner provided for in Article II, Section 7. The Board shall have the power at
any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve any
such committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board from
appointing one or more committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who
are directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee
shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board.

                                   ARTICLE IV

Board, each to hold office until the meeting of the Board following the next
annual meeting of the Shareholders, or until his successor shall have been duly
elected and shall have qualified, or until his death, or until he shall have
resigned, or have been removed, as hereinafter provided in these By-Laws. The
Board may from time to time elect a Vice Chairman of the Board, and the Board
may from time to time elect, or the Chairman of the Board, or the President may
appoint, such other officers (including one or more Assistant Vice Presidents,
Assistant Secretaries, and Assistant Treasurers), as may be necessary or
desirable for the business of the Corporation. Such other officers and agents
shall have such duties and shall hold their offices for such terms as may be
prescribed by the Board or by the Board or by the appointing authority.

Section 2. Resignation. Any officer of the Corporation may resign at any time by
giving written notice of his resignation to the Board, the Chairman of the

securities in any other corporation, any of whose stock or other securities may
be held by the Corporation, at meetings of the holders of the stock or other
securities of such other corporation, or to consent in writing, in the name of
the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such other corporation, and may
instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the manner of casting such
votes or giving such consent, and may execute or cause to be executed in the
name and on behalf of the Corporation and under its corporate seal, or
otherwise, all such written proxies or other instruments as he may deem
necessary or proper in the premises.


                                   ARTICLE VII

Section 1. Stock Certificates. Each holder of shares of stock of the Corporation
shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as shall be approved by
the Board, certifying the number of shares of the Corporation owned by him. The
certificates representing shares of stock shall be signed in the name of the
Corporation by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice President
and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer and sealed with the seal of the Corporation (which seal may be a
facsimile, engraved or printed); provided, however, that where any such
certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or
its employee, or is registered by a registrar other than the Corporation or one
of its employees, the signature of the officers of the Corporation upon such
certificates may be facsimiles, engraved or printed. In case any officer who
shall have signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such
certificates shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificates shall
be issued, they may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if such officer were still in office at the date of their issue.

Section 2. Books of Account and Record of Shareholders. The books and records of
the Corporation may be kept at such places within or without the state of
incorporation as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The
stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the
Secretary or by any other officer or agent designated by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Transfer of Shares. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation
shall be made on the stock records of the Corporation only upon authorization by
the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power
of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a transfer agent
or transfer clerk, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such
shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power
and the payment of all taxes thereon. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person in
whose name any share or shares stand on the record of Shareholders as the owner
of such share or shares for all purposes, including, without limitation, the
rights to receive dividends or other distributions, and to vote as such owner,
and the Corporation may hold any such Shareholder of record liable for calls and
assessments and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
legal claim to or interest in any such share or shares on the part of any other
person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof. Whenever
any transfers of shares shall be made for collateral security and not
absolutely, and both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do
so, such fact shall be stated in the entry of the transfer.

Section 4. Regulations. The Board may make such additional rules and
regulations, not inconsistent with these By-Laws, as it may deem expedient
concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of
stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers
to appoint, one or more transfer agents or one or more transfer clerks and one
or more registrars and may require all certificates for shares of stock to bear
the signature or signatures of any of them.

Section 5. Lost, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. The holder of any
certificate representing shares of stock of the Corporation shall immediately
notify the Corporation of any loss, destruction or mutilation of such
certificate, and the Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the
place of any certificate theretofore issued by it which the owner thereof shall
allege to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed or which shall have been
mutilated, and the Board may, in its discretion, require such owner or his legal
representative to give the Corporation a bond in such sum, limited or unlimited,
and in such form and with such surety or sureties as the Board in its absolute
discretion shall determine, to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that
may be made 


                                      C-8
<PAGE>   54

against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such
certificate, or the issuance of a new certificate. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may refuse to
issue any such new certificate, except pursuant to legal proceedings under the
laws of the State of Georgia.

Section 6. Fixing of the Record Date. In order that the Corporation may
determine the Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of
Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or other distribution of allotment of any rights, or entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or
for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a
record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before
the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. A
determination of Shareholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a
meeting of Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Georgia.

By-Laws, which notice shall mention that amendment or repeal of these By-Laws,
or the adoption of new By-Laws, is one of the purposes of such meeting.

                                  Miscellaneous

Section 1. Interested Directors. No contract or other transaction between the
Corporation and any other corporation shall be affected and invalidated by the
fact that any one or more of the Directors of the Corporation is or are
interested in or is a Director or officer or are Directors or officers of such
other corporation, and any Director or Directors, individually or jointly, may
be a party or parties to or may be interested in any contract or transaction of

corporation shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that any Director or

miscomputation, or the application of improper principles or practices of
accounting, may be ratified before or after judgment, by the Board of Directors
or by the Shareholders in case less than a quorum of Directors are qualified,
and, if so ratified, shall have the same force and effect as if the questioned
transaction had been originally duly authorized, and said ratification shall be
binding upon the Corporation and its Shareholders, and shall constitute a bar to
any claim or execution of any judgment in respect of such questioned
transaction.
