Item 5.          Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.


Item 6.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation
Code provides that a corporation may indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify
an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director
against liability incurred in the proceeding if he acted in a manner he
believed in good faith to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  Subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851
of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides that a corporation may not
indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, or in
connection with any other proceeding in which he was adjudged liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854 a court may order a corporation to
indemnify a director if such court determines the director is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
circumstances, whether or not such director met the standard of conduct set
forth in subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the Georgia Business Corporation
Code or was adjudged liable as described in subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851
of the Georgia Business Corporation Code.

         Section 14-2-852 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides
that, unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, to the
extent that a director has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, or in defense of any claim,
issue, or matter therein, because he is or was a director of the corporation,
the corporation shall indemnify the director against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 14-2-857 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides
that, unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, an
officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under Section 14-2- 852 and is entitled to apply for court
ordered indemnification under Section 14-2-854, in each case to the same extent
as a director.  In addition, Section 14-2-857 provides that a corporation may
also indemnify an officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the
extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of
incorporation, bylaws, action of its board of directors or contract.





<PAGE>   4
         In accordance with Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, every
person (and the heirs and personal representatives of such person) who is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in which he
served as such at the request of the Corporation, shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against all liability and expenses (including, without limitation,
counsel fees and disbursements, and amounts of judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with or resulting from any threatened, pending or completed claim,
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative or in connection with any appeal relating thereto, in which he
may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which he may be
threatened, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation or such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted
by him in his capacity as such whether or not he continues to be such at the
time such liability or expense shall have been incurred.  Every such person
(and the heirs and personal representatives of such person), to the extent that
such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to any
such claim, action, matter, suit or proceeding is entitled to indemnification
as of right for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.  Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, upon receipt of a claim for indemnification under Article VI of the
Corporation's Bylaws, the Corporation shall proceed as follows, or as otherwise
permitted by applicable law:  If the claim is made by a director or officer of
the Corporation, the board of directors, by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the applicable action, suit or
proceeding, shall determine whether the claimant met the applicable standard of
conduct as set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (B) below.  If such quorum is not
obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel (who may
be the regular inside or outside counsel of the Corporation) in a written
opinion.  If such determination has not been made within 90 days after the
claim is asserted, the claimant shall have the right to require that the
determination be submitted to the shareholders at the next regular meeting of
shareholders by vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon.  If
a claim is made by a person who is not a director or officer of the
Corporation, the Chief Executive Officer and the general counsel of the
Corporation shall determine, subject to applicable law, the manner in which
there shall be made the determination as to whether the claimant met the
applicable standard of conduct as set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (B) below.
In the case of each claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall pay the
claim to the extent the determination is favorable to the person making the
claim.

                 (A)      In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding
              other than by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
              judgment in its favor, the director, officer, employee or agent
              must have acted in a manner he reasonably believed





<PAGE>   5
              to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
              Corporation, and, in addition, in any criminal action or
              proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
              was unlawful.  In addition, any director seeking indemnification
              must not have been adjudged liable on the basis that any personal
              benefit was received by him.  For the purpose of this
              subparagraph (A), the termination of any claim, action, suit or
              proceeding, civil, criminal or administrative, by judgment,
              order, settlement (either with or without court approval) or
              conviction, or upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or its
              equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a director,
              officer, employee or agent did not meet the standards of conduct
              set forth in this subparagraph.

                 (B)      In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding by
              or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its
              favor, the director, officer, employee or agent must have acted
              in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
              opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided,
              however, that no indemnification under this subparagraph (B)
              shall be made (1) with regard to any claim, issue or matter as to
              which such director, officer, employee or agent shall have been
              adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the
              extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought
              shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but
              in view of all the circumstances of the case, such director,
              officer, employee or agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to
              indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper, or
              (2) for amounts paid, or expenses incurred, in connection with
              the defense or settlement of any such claim, action, suit or
              proceeding, unless a court of competent jurisdiction has approved
              indemnification with regard to such amounts or expenses.

         Pursuant to Article VI of the Corporation's Bylaws, expenses incurred
by any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the
character described in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be
advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it
shall be ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
Indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to Article VI of the
Corporation's Bylaws is not exclusive of any rights to which any such director,
officer, employee or other person may otherwise be entitled by contract or by
law.

         The Corporation carries insurance policies insuring its liability to
officers and directors under the foregoing indemnity and insuring its officers
and directors against liability incurred in their capacity as such.

Item 9.          Undertakings.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being 
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                 (i)      To include any prospectus required by Section
                          10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                 (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events 
                          arising after the effective date of the registration 
                          statement (or the most recent post-effective 
                          amendment thereof) which, individually or in the 
                          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the 
                          information set forth in the registration statement;

                 (iii)    To include any material information with respect to 
                          the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in 
                          the registration statement or any material change to 
                          such information in the registration statement;

         provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i)
         and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included
         in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
         periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
         Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
         incorporated by reference in this registration statement.





<PAGE>   7
         (2)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
         Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be 
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
         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.

         (4)      That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 
         Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report 
         pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange 
         Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
         plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities 
         Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this 
         registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration 
         statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
         of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial 
         bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the 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.
