It shall be the duty of the Secretary to cause notice of each Annual Meeting to be mailed to each Shareholder of record at his last known address at least ten days before the date of said meeting. Any failure to mail such notice or any irregularity in such notice shall not affect the validity of any Annual Meeting or any proceedings had at any such meeting. B. Special Meetings: Special meetings of the Stockholders may be held at the principal office of the Company in the State of Georgia or at such other place in the State of Georgia as may be named in the call therefor. Such special meetings may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chairman, the President, the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting or a majority of the Directors in writing without a meeting.

When all of the Stockholders shall meet in person or by proxy, such meeting shall be valid for all purposes, without call or notice, and at such meeting any or all corporate action may be taken, notwithstanding the limitation of the notice. C. At any meeting of the Stockholders, the holders of one-half of all shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at said meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of Stockholders for all purposes. If the holders of the amount of stock necessary to constitute a quorum shall fail to attend in person or by proxy at the time and place fixed by these By-Laws for an Annual Meeting or fixed by notice as provided for a special meeting, a majority in interest of Stockholders present in person or by proxy may adjourn from time to time, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting, until the holders of the amount of stock requisite to constitute a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. D.

Every Director shall be the holder of at least one share of the capital stock of this Company. Each Director shall serve for the term for which he shall have been elected and until his successor shall have been duly chosen, unless his term be sooner ended as herein permitted; provided, however, that should a Director sell all of his stock, the sale of said stock shall work a resignation of his office as a Director. B. In the event of a vacancy in the Directors of any class, by death, resignation, disqualification, removal, or otherwise, the remaining Directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority thereof, may elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place shall be vacant and until the election of his successor.

The Secretary shall give notice of each regular meeting by mailing or delivering the same at least five days before the meeting, or by telegraphing the same at least two days before the meeting, to each Director, but such notice may be waived by any Director. The attendance by any Director upon any meeting shall be a waiver of notice of the time and place of holding the said meeting. E. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held whenever called by the direction of the Chairman of the Board, if there be one and if he be present, or by the Vice Chairman, if there be one, or by the President, or by one-third of the Directors for the time being in office.

Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business of the Company may be transacted at any special meeting of the Board of Directors. F. A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; but if at any meeting of the Board there be less than a quorum present, the majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. G. Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may be held within the State of Georgia, at places other than the one at which the said meetings are usually held; or at places out of the State. In either event, the place for holding such special meeting shall be stated in the notice. H. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without such meeting if a written consent is approved in the form of minutes of a meeting, setting forth the action so taken, and signed by all of the Directors.

V-A INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE A. This Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that this conduct was unlawful. B. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. C. To the extent that a person indemnified under this By-Law has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs A and B of this Section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. D. The indemnification under paragraphs A and B of this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be effective upon the Company only when authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs A and B. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon. E. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section. F. The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any By-Law or resolution approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon taken at a meeting the notice of which specified that such By-Law or resolution would be placed before the Stockholders, both as to action by a director, officer, employee or agent in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. G. The Company and its Officers shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section. H. If, under this Section, any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification, otherwise than by court order or action by the Stockholders, the Company shall, not later than the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such payment, send by first class mail to its Stockholders of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of Directors a statement specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

VII REGULATIONS The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as, respectively, they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Company.
