ITEM 6. |
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |
The Registrant entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The form of indemnification agreement provides that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and executive officers for expenses incurred because of their status as a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law, its articles of incorporation and bylaws.
The Registrant's bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors and officers with respect to any liability and reasonable expense incurred by such person in connection with any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to which such person was (or is made or threatened to be made) a party or is otherwise involved, by reason of the fact that such person is or was one of the Registrant's directors or officers, and such person acted in a manner he believed to be in good faith and not opposed to our best interests, and had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Registrant's bylaws obligate it to indemnify each of its directors and officers to the extent that they are successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding. In addition, the Registrant's bylaws may obligate it, under some circumstances, to advance reasonable expenses incurred by each director or officer in the defense of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification may be sought. However, the Registrant may not indemnify any director or officer to the extent that they are adjudged liable to the Registrant, or liable for the receipt of an improper personal benefit. Under conditions described in the Registrant's bylaws, any determination with respect to indemnification will be made by the board of directors or a committee thereof, by special legal counsel appointed by the board of directors or a committee thereof, or by the Registrant's shareholders. The indemnification provided by the Registrant's bylaws may be available for liabilities arising in connection with this offering. To the extent that indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons under the Registrant's bylaws, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. At present there is no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant in which indemnification will be required or permitted.

UNDERTAKINGS |
|
|
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement, to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on November 7, 2000.
