entering into this Agreement of the Executive’s own free will.

Laws.  This Agreement shall be construed, administered and
enforced according to the laws of the State of Georgia, to the extent not
preempted by federal law.

      


      5.           Successors.  This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

      


      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      6.           Entire
