ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Article 10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act allows, in general, for
indemnification,  in  certain  circumstances,  by a  corporation  of any  person
threatened  with or made a party to any action,  suit or proceeding by reason of
the fact that he or she is, or was, a  director,  officer,  employee or agent of
such corporation.  Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a criminal
action or proceeding  where the person had no  reasonable  cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. Article 9 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act
provides  limitations on damages  payable by officers and  directors,  except in
cases of willful  misconduct or knowing violation of criminal law or any federal
or state securities law.

        Article  VII  of  the  Company's   Amended  and  Restated   Articles  of
Incorporation provides for mandatory  indemnification of any director or officer
of the Company who is, was or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding
(including  any proceeding by or on behalf of the Company) by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a  director  or  officer  of the  Company  against  all
liabilities  and reasonable  expenses  incurred in the  proceeding,  except such
liabilities  and  expenses  incurred  because of such  director's  or  officer's
willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law.

        The  Company's  Amended  and  Restated  Articles of  Incorporation  also
provide that in every instance  permitted under Virginia corporate law in effect
from time to time,  the liability of a director or officer of the Company to the
Company or its shareholders  arising out of a single transaction,  occurrence or
course of conduct shall be limited to one dollar.

        The Company  maintains  standard  policies of officers'  and  directors'
liability insurance.

        (a)    The Company hereby undertakes:

               1.     To file,  during  any  period  in  which  offers  or sales
                      are  made,  a  post-effective amendment to this
                      Registration Statement;

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

                      (ii)   To  reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events
                             arising   after   the   effective   date   of  this
                             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
                             this Registration Statement;

                      (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                             the plan of distribution  not previously  disclosed
                             in  this  Registration  Statement  or any  material
                             change  in such  information  in this  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 Company hereby  undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,  where  applicable,
each filing of an employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant to Section
15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  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.
                                               ---- ----

        (c)  Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under  the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons
of the  Company  pursuant to the  provisions  described  under Item 6 above,  or
otherwise,  the Company has been advised  that in the opinion of the  Commission
such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities
Act,  and  is,  therefore,   unenforceable.  In  the  event  that  a  claim  for
indemnification  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company 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 Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
