                PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Article VI of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation mandates
indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to the full extent
permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the Virginia Act) as in effect
from time to time. As of the date hereof, the Virginia Act permits a
corporation, to the extent authorized by its articles of incorporation, to
indemnify its directors and officers against liability incurred in all
proceedings, including derivative proceedings, arising out of their service to
the corporation so long as they have not engaged in willful misconduct or a
knowing violation of the criminal law, and accordingly the Registrant is
required to indemnify its directors and officers in all such proceedings if they
have not violated this standard.

In addition, Article VI of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation limits the
liability of the Registrant's directors and officers to the full extent
permitted by the Virginia Act. As of the date hereof, the Virginia Act places a
limit on the liability of a director or officer in derivative and shareholder
proceedings equal to the lesser of: (i) the monetary amount, including the
elimination of liability, specified in the corporation's articles of
incorporation or a shareholder-approved by-law; or (ii) the greater of (a)
$100,000 or (b) twelve months of cash compensation received by the officer or
director. The limit does not apply in the event the director or officer has
engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any
federal or state securities law. The effect of the Registrant's Articles of
Incorporation, together with the Virginia Act, is to accordingly limit liability
of directors and officers for money damages in shareholder derivative
proceedings, so long as the required standard of conduct is met.

ITEM 22. 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:

        (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;


                 (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.

     (b)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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


                                      II-1

<PAGE>

pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.

     (e)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver or
to cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

     (g)    (1)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder
through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by
any person or party which is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain
the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

     (2)    The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed
pursuant to paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes 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.

     (h)    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.

                          ---------------------------


(b)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such
request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other
equally prompt means.  This includes information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date
of responding to the request.

(c)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.
