of (x) changes in banking and similar laws of general
applicability or interpretations thereof by courts or
governmental authorities, (y) changes in generally accepted
accounting principles or regulatory accounting requirements
applicable to banks and bank holding companies generally and (z)

<PAGE>
delivered by that party to the other party contemporaneously with
the execution of this Plan and specifically designated as
information "Previously Disclosed" pursuant to this Plan;
provided, further, the mere inclusion of an item in a disclosure
letter shall not be deemed an admission by a party that such item
represents a material exception of fact, event or circumstances
or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(I) Entire Understanding. This Plan represents the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with reference to the
transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any and all other
oral or written agreements heretofore made. Nothing in this Plan
expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person,
other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, any

(J) Benefit Plans. Upon consummation of the Merger, as
soon as administratively practicable employees of Tysons shall be

employees of Tysons shall be given full credit for prior service
with Tysons with respect to eligibility for and vesting in such
plan. MSBC shall cause the Continuing Corporation to honor in

of MSBC, all employment, severance, consulting and other
compensation contracts and agreements Previously Disclosed to
MSBC and executed in writing by both Tysons or TNB on the one
hand and any individual current or former director, officer or
employee thereof on the other hand, copies of which have
previously been delivered by Tysons to MSBC. In no event shall
the immediately preceding sentence apply to Tyson's Employee
Stock Ownership Plan which MSBC presently intends to terminate as
soon as practicable after the Merger Effective Date.
(K) Indemnification. (1) In the case of MSBC only, it
agrees that for the period of the relevant statute of limitations
but in no event less than six-years following the Merger
Effective Date, it shall cause the Continuing Corporation and any
successor thereto to indemnify and hold harmless any person who
has rights to indemnification from Tysons to the same extent and
on the same conditions as such person is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Tysons' Bylaws as in effect on the
date of this Plan, to the extent legally permitted to do so, with
respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Merger Effective
Date (regardless of whether a claim is asserted in connection
therewith on or prior to the Merger Effective Date or
thereafter). Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which
approval by the Continuing Corporation may be required to
effectuate any such indemnification, MSBC shall cause the
70
<PAGE>
Continuing Corporation to direct, at the election of the party to
be indemnified, that the determination of any such approval shall
be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between MSBC
and the indemnified party. MSBC shall use its reasonable best
efforts to provide coverage to the officers and directors of the
Continuing Corporation under MSBC policy or policies of director
and officers liability insurance on the same or substantially
similar terms then in effect for the directors and officers of
MSBC and the Continuing Corporation shall reimburse MSBC for the
additional premium incurred by it in connection with providing
such coverage; (2) If MSBC or any of its successors or assigns
shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall
not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation
or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its
assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provisions
shall be made so that the successors and assigns of MSBC shall
assume the obligations set forth in this Paragraph (K)(1). MSBC
shall pay all reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees, that
may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the
indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Paragraph
(K)(1).
(L) Acquisition of MSBC. In the event that MSBC is
acquired through a merger, share exchange or other business
combination in which it is not the surviving entity, MSBC agrees
that it shall make provision by which the acquirer shall assume
71
<PAGE>
this Agreement and the holders of Tysons Common Shares shall be
entitled to receive the same consideration for such shares as the
holders of MainStreet Common Stock received, giving effect to the
Exchange Ratio and appropriate provision shall be made for the
holders of Tysons Warrants and Tysons Options.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
instrument to be executed in counterparts by their duly
authorized officers, all as of the day and year first above
written.

C. MB and Tysons, their respective Boards of Directors and shareholders
have approved a statutory merger ("Merger") of MB (the "Disappearing
Corporation") with and into Tysons ("the Continuing Corporation").
1. Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective at the time when
a certificate of merger shall have been issued by the State Corporation

no event before December 31, 1997 and the conditions in Article VI of the

provisions of Article 12 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. The

corporation and the separate corporate existence of the Disappearing
Corporation shall cease.
3. Effect of Merger on Outstanding Shares. The manner of converting or
cancelling the shares of the Disappearing Corporation and of the Continuing
Corporation shall, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the
part of the holders thereof be as follows:
(A) The shares of the Disappearing Corporation issued and outstanding as
of the Effective Time shall be converted into the shares of common stock of
the Continuing Corporation issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time
and shall constitute the only issued and outstanding shares of common stock
of the Continuing Corporation.
(B) Each share of the common stock, $5.00 par value per share, of
Tysons ("Tysons Common Stock") shall be converted into the right to
receive that number of shares of the common stock, $5.00 par value per
share, of MainStreet BankGroup Incorporated ("MSBC Common Stock") obtained
by dividing the Negotiated Price per share of Tysons Common Stock by the
average of the bid/asked price per share for the MSBC Common Stock as
reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Quotations
73
<PAGE>
System National Market System ("NASDAQ/NMS") for each of the twenty (20)
trading days preceding the later to occur of (i) the approval of
the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement by
the shareholders of Tysons; and (ii) the financial institution regulatory
approvals (but not the statutory waiting periods) necessary for the
consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Agreement. If the Exchange Ratio computed in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence is less than .507, the Exchange Ratio shall

have no rights as, stockholders of Tysons, other than to receive the
Merger consideration provided under Paragraph (A) above, and the
consideration provided in Paragraph (D) below. After the Effective Time,
there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Tysons or
the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Tysons Common Stock which were
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(D) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
no fractional shares of MSBC Common Stock and no certificates or scrip
therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in
the Merger; instead, MSBC shall pay to each holder of Tysons Common
Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share an amount
in cash determined by multiplying such fractional share by the average
of the last bid/asked price of MSBC Common Stock on the last trading
day prior to the Effective Time, as reported on the NASDAQ/NMS (as
reported by The Wall Street Journal).
(E) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the
Effective Time, MSBC shall send or cause to be sent to each former
holder of Tysons Common Stock of record immediately prior to the
Effective Time transmittal materials for use in exchanging such
stockholder's certificates of Tysons Common Stock for the consideration
set forth in Paragraphs (A) and (D) above. Any fractional share checks
which a Tysons stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange for
such stockholder's shares of Tysons Common Stock, and any dividends
paid on any shares of MSBC Common Stock that such stockholder shall be
entitled to receive prior to the delivery to _________________ (the
"Exchange Agent") of such stockholder's certificates representing all of
such stockholder's share of Tysons Common Stock will be delivered to
such stockholder only upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of the
certificates representing all of such shares (or indemnity satisfactory
to MSBC and the Exchange Agent, in their judgment, if any of such
certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed). No interest will be
74
<PAGE>
paid on any such fractional share checks or dividends to which the
holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive upon such delivery.
After the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by law, former
stockholders of record of Tysons shall be entitled to vote at any
meeting of holders of MSBC Common Stock the number of whole shares
of MSBC Common Stock into which their respective shares of Tysons
Common Stock entitle them, regardless of whether such holders have
exchanged their Tysons Common Stock for certificates representing
MSBC Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Plan of Merger.
(F) Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event MSBC changes the
number of shares of MSBC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior
to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the
outstanding MSBC Common Stock (but not as a result of a merger, share
exchange or similar transaction) and the record date therefor shall be
prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately
adjusted.
(G) Excluded Shares. Each of the shares of Tysons Common Stock held
by Tysons, MSBC or any of their respective subsidiaries, in each case
other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously
contracted shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time.
(H) ISO's. From and after the Effective Time, all stock options
granted to officers, employees of Tysons in such capacity to purchase
shares of Tysons Common Stock which are then outstanding and unexercised,
shall be converted into and become options with respect to MSBC Common
Stock, and MSBC shall assume each option and right, in accordance with
the terms of the plan and agreement by which it is evidenced. From
and after the Effective Time, (i) each such ISO assumed by MSBC may
be exercised solely for shares of MSBC Common Stock, (ii) the number
of shares of MSBC Common Stock subject to each ISO shall be equal to
the number of shares of Tysons Common Stock subject to such ISO
immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange
Ratio, and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such ISO
shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of each
such ISO by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding to the nearest cent.
(I) Tysons Directors Options. As of the Effective Time, all holders
of options to purchase Tysons Common Stock granted to directors of
Tysons in such capacity ("Directors Options") shall receive in full
satisfaction of the optionee's rights under such Options that number
of shares of MSBC Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the difference of $14.50 minus the price per share at
which the optionee could have exercised his option rights under the
terms of the Directors Option ("Strike Price"), by (2) the Average
MSBC Share Price ("Option Ratio"). If the Option Ratio computed in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is less than the
ratio ("Bottom Ratio") obtained by dividing (y) the difference of
$14.50 minus the Strike Price by, (z) $28.60, the Option Ratio shall
be the Bottom Ratio; if the Option Ratio computed in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence is greater than the ratio ("Top
Ratio") obtained by dividing (y) the difference of $14.50 minus
75
<PAGE>
the Strike Price by, (y) $23.40, the Option Ratio shall be the Top Ratio.
(J) Possible Adjustment in Exchange Ratio and Option Ratio. The
Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time (i) as set
forth in 3 below or (ii) either before or after approval by the
stockholders of Tysons, by Tysons by vote of a majority of the members
of its entire Board during the ten (10) day period commencing on the
Determination Date if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) if the Average MSBC Determination Price for MSBC Common Stock
on the Determination Date is less than $23.40; and
(2) if the First Percentage exceeds the Second Percentage by at
least ten (10) percentage points;
subject, however, to the immediately following four sentences. If
Tysons elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to clause
(ii), it shall give prompt written notice to MSBC (provided that such
notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the
aforementioned ten (10) day period). During the seven (7) day period
commencing with its receipt of such notice, MSBC shall have the option
of increasing the consideration to be received by the holders of Tysons
Common Stock (including shares to be acquired pursuant to ISO's)
and by optionees with respect to Tysons Directors Options by adjusting
the Exchange Ratio and Option Ratio, respectively, to equal a quotient,
the numerator of which is $23.40 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio
(as then in effect) with respect to Tysons Common Stock and the
Option Ratio (as then in effect) with respect to the Directors
Options and the denominator of which in either case is the Average
MSBC Determination Price. If MSBC makes an election contemplated by
the immediately preceding sentence, it shall give prompt written notice
to Tysons of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio and Option
Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have accrued pursuant to clause
(ii) and the Agreement shall remain ineffect in accordance with its
terms (except as the Exchange Ratio and Option Ratio shall have been
so modified) and any references in this Plan to "Exchange Ratio" and
"Option Ratio" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange
Ratio and Option Ratio as adjusted pursuant to this Subparagraph (J).

and (b) dividing the First Remainder by the Average MSBC Determination
Price.

the remainder ("Second Remainder") obtained by subtracting the SNL
Southeast Bank Index reported most recently prior to the last trading
day in the measuring period for calculating the Average MSBC Price
("Recent SNL Bank Index") from the SNL Southeast Bank Index at July 22,
1997; and (b) dividing the Second Remainder by the Recent SNL Bank Index.
"Merger Closing" means an end of the month date designated by MSBC and
reasonably acceptable to Tysons after the satisfaction of the conditions

Merger if such alteration or change would adversely affect the shares of

Time shall continue (until amended or repealed as provided by applicable
77
<PAGE>
law) to be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Continuing
Corporation after the Effective Time.
6. Officers and Directors. The officers and directors of the Continuing
Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time together with such
additional officers and directors as may thereafter be elected, shall be

WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR.
It is understood and agreed that the above legend shall be removed

5. Representations and Warranties of Issuer. Issuer hereby
represents and warrants to Grantee as follows:
(a) Due Authorization. Issuer has all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to any approvals
4
95

referred to herein, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of Issuer. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by Issuer.
(b) Authorized Stock. Issuer has taken all necessary corporate
and other action to authorize and reserve and to permit it to issue,
and, at all times from the date hereof until the obligation to deliver
Issuer Common Stock upon the exercise of the Option terminates, will

shares of Issuer Common Stock necessary for Grantee to exercise the
Option, and Issuer will take all necessary corporate action to authorize
and reserve for issuance all additional shares of Issuer Common Stock
or other securities which may be issued pursuant to Section 7 upon
exercise of the Option. The shares of Issuer Common Stock to be
issued upon due exercise of the Option, including all additional
shares of Issuer Common Stock or other securities which may be issuable
pursuant to Section 7, upon issuance pursuant hereto, shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be delivered free
and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances of any kind or
nature whatsoever, including any preemptive rights of any stockholder
of Issuer.
6. Representations and Warrants of Grantee. Grantee hereby represents
and warrants to Issuer that:
(a) Due Authorization. Grantee has all requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to any
approvals or consents referred to herein, to consummate the transactions

7. Adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization, etc.
(a) In the event of any change in Issuer Common Stock by reason
of a stock dividend, stock split, split-up, recapitalization, combination,
exchange of shares or similar transaction, the type and number of shares
or securities subject to the Option, and the Purchase Price therefor,
5
96
<PAGE>
shall be adjusted appropriately, and proper provision shall be made
in the agreements governing such transaction so that Grantee shall
received, upon exercise of the Option, the number and class of shares
or other securities or property that Grantee would have received in
respect of Issuer Common Stock of the Option had been exercised immediately
prior to such event, or the record date therefor, as applicable. If any
additional shares of Issuer Common Stock are issued after the date of
this Agreement (other than pursuant to an event described in the first
sentence of this Section 7(a)), the number of shares of Issuer
Common Stock subject to the Option shall be adjusted so that, after
such issuance, it, together with any shares of Issuer Common Stock
previously issued pursuant hereto, equals 19.9% of the number of
shares of Issuer Common Stock then issued and outstanding, without
giving effect to any shares subject to or issued pursuant to the
Option.
(b) In the event that Issuer shall enter in an agreement:
(i) to consolidate with or merge into any person, other than Grantee
or one of its subsidiaries, and shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation of such consolidation or merger, (ii) to permit any person,
other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, to merge into Issuer
and Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving corporation, but,
in connection with such merger, the then outstanding shares of Issuer
Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other
securities of Issuer or any other person or cash or any other property
or the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock immediately prior to
such merger shall after such merger represent less than 50% of the
outstanding shares and share equivalents of the merged company, or
(iii) to sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its
assets to any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries,
then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such transaction
shall make proper provisions so that upon the consummation of any such
transaction and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Grantee shall receive for each Option Share with respect to which the
Option has not been exercised an amount of consideration in the form
of and equal to the per share amount of consideration that would be
received by the holder of one share of Issuer Common Stock less the
Purchase Price (and, in the event of an election or similar arrangement
with respect to the type of consideration to be received by the holders
of Issuer Common Stock, subject to the foregoing, proper provision shall be
made so that the holder of the Option would have the same election
or similar rights as would the holder of the number of shares of
Issuer Common Stock for which the Option is then exercisable).
(c) Issuer shall not enter into any agreement of the
type described in Section 7(b) unless the other party thereto commits
to provide the funding required for Issuer to pay the Section 8
Repurchase Consideration.
8. Repurchase at the Option of Grantee.
6
97
<PAGE>
(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 3(a), at
the request of Grantee at any time commencing upon the first
occurrence of a Repurchase Event (as defined in Section 8(d)) and
ending 12 months immediately thereafter, Issuer shall repurchase
from Grantee (i) the Option and (ii) all shares of Issuer Common
Stock purchased by Grantee pursuant hereto with respect to which
Grantee then has beneficial ownership. The date on which Grantee
exercises its rights under this Section 8 is referred to as the "Request
Date". Such repurchase shall be at an aggregate price (the "Section 8
Repurchase Consideration") equal to the sum of:
(i) the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Grantee for any
shares of Issuer Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Option with
respect to which Grantee then has beneficial ownership;
(ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Applicable Price (as
defined below) for each share of Issuer Common Stock over (y) the
Purchase Price (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7),
multiplied by the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock with
respect to which the Option has not been exercised; and
(iii) the excess, if any, of the Applicable Price over
the Purchase Price (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7) paid
(or, in the case of Option Shares with respect to which the Option
has been exercised but the Closing Date has not occurred, payable)
by Grantee for each share of Issuer Common Stock with respect to
which the Option has been exercised and with respect to which
Grantee then has beneficial ownership, multiplied by the number of
such shares.
(b) If Grantee exercises its rights under this Section
8, Issuer shall, within 10 business days after the Request Date, pay
the Section 8 Repurchase Consideration to Grantee in immediately
available funds, and contemporaneously with such payment Grantee
shall surrender to Issuer the Option and the certificates evidencing
the shares of Issuer Common Stock purchased thereunder with
respect to which Grantee then has beneficial ownership, and Grantee
shall warrant that it has sole record and beneficial ownership of such
shares and that the same are then free and clear of all liens, claims,
charges and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that prior notification to or approval of
the Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory authority is required in
connection with the payment of all or any portion of the Section 8
Repurchase Consideration, Grantee shall have the ongoing option to
revoke its request for repurchase pursuant to Section 8, in whole or
part, or to require that Issuer deliver from time to time that portion of
the Section 8 Repurchase Consideration that it is not then so
prohibited from paying and promptly file the required notice or
application for approval and expeditiously process the same (and
each party shall cooperate with the other in the filing of any such
7
98
notice or application and the obtaining of any such approval). If the
Federal Reserve Board of any other regulatory authority disapproves
of any part of Issuer's proposed repurchase pursuant to this Section
8, Issuer shall promptly give notice of such fact to Grantee. If the
Federal Reserve Board or other agency prohibits the repurchase in
part but not in whole, then Grantee shall have the right (i) to revoke
the repurchase request or (ii) to the extent permitted by the Federal
Reserve Board or other agency, determine whether the repurchase
should apply to the Option and/or Option Shares and to what extent
to each, and Grantee shall thereupon have the right to exercise the
Option as to the number of Option Shares for which the Option was
exercisable at the Request Date less the sum of the number of shares
covered by the Option in respect of which payment has been made
pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) and the number of shares covered by the
portion of the Option (if any) that has been repurchased. Grantee
shall notify Issuer of its determination under the preceding sentence
within five (5) business days of receipt of notice of disapproval of
the repurchase.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all of
Grantee's rights under this Section 8 shall terminate on the date of
termination of this Option pursuant to Section 3(a).
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Applicable
Price" means the highest of (i) the highest price per share of Issuer
Common Stock paid for any such share by the person or groups
described in Section 8(d)(i), (ii) the price per share of Issuer
Common Stock received by holders of Issuer Common Stock in
connection with any merger or other business combination
transaction described in Section 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii), or 7(b)(iii), or (iii)
the highest closing sales price per share of Issuer Common Stock
reported on the NASD/SCM (or if transactions in Issuer Common
Stock are not reported on the NASD/SCM, the highest bid price per
share as quoted on the principal trading market or securities
exchange on which such shares are traded as reported by a
recognized source chosen by Grantee) during the 60 business days
preceding the Request Date; provided, however, that in the event of a
sale of less than all of Issuer's assets, the Applicable Price shall be
the sum of the price paid in such sale for such assets and the current
market value of the remaining assets of Issuer as determined by a
nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by Grantee,
divided by the number of shares of the Issuer Common Stock
outstanding at the time of such sale. If the consideration to be
offered, paid or received pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses
(i) or (ii) shall be other than in cash, the value of such consideration
shall be determined in good faith by an independent nationally
recognized investment banking firm selected by Grantee and
reasonably acceptable to Issuer, which determination shall be
conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.
8
99
<PAGE>
(d) As used herein, "Repurchase Event" shall occur
if (i) any person (other than Grantee or any subsidiary of Grantee)
shall have acquired beneficial ownership of (as such term is defined
in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), or the right to
acquire beneficial ownership of, or any "group" (as such term is
defined under the Exchange Act) shall have been formed which
beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of,
50% or more of the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common
Stock, or (ii) any of the transactions described in Section 7(b)(i),
7(b)(ii) or 7(b)(iii) shall be consummated.
(e) In connection with the application of the
provisions of this Section 8, Grantee acknowledges the regulatory
and capital matters Previously Disclosed by Issuer to Grantee.
9. Registration Rights.
(a) Demand Registration Rights. Issuer shall,
subject to the conditions of subparagraph (c) below, if requested by
Grantee (or if applicable, a Grantee Majority), as expeditiously as
possible prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities
Act if such registration is necessary in order to permit the sale or
other disposition of any or all shares of Issuer Common Stock or
other securities that have been acquired by or are issuable to Grantee
upon exercise of the Option in accordance with the intended method
of sale or other disposition stated by Grantee in such request,
including without limitation a "shelf" registration statement under
Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor provision, and
Issuer shall use its best efforts to qualify such shares or other
securities for sale under any applicable state securities laws.
(b) Additional Registration Rights. If Issuer at any
time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares
of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with
an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer
will promptly give written notice to Grantee (and any permitted
transferee) of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of
Grantee (or any such permitted transferee of Grantee) given within
30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify
the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be
included in such underwritten public offering by Grantee (or such
permitted transferee)), Issuer will cause all such shares, the holders
of which shall have requested participation in such registration, to be
so registered and included in such underwritten public offering,
provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such
shares to be so registered (i) if the underwriters in good faith object
for valid business reasons, or (ii) in the case of a registration solely
to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on
Form S-4; provided, further, however, that such election pursuant to
(i) may only be made one time. If some but not all the shares of
9
100
<PAGE>
Issuer Common Stock, with respect to which Issuer shall have
received requests for registration pursuant to this subparagraph (b),
shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make
appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among Grantee and
any such permitted transferee desiring to register their shares pro rata
in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered
by each such holder bears to the total number of shares requested to
be registered by all such holders then desiring to have Issuer
Common Stock registered for sale.
(c) Conditions to Required Registration. Issuer
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each registration statement
referred to in subparagraph (a) above to become effective and to
obtain all consents or waivers of other parties which are required
therefor and to keep such registration statement effective, provided,
however, that Issuer may delay any registration of Option Shares
required pursuant to subparagraph (a) above for a period not
exceeding 90 days provided Issuer shall in good faith determine that
any such registration would adversely affect an offering or
contemplated offering of other securities by Issuer, and Issuer shall
not be required to register Option Shares under the Securities Act
pursuant to subparagraph (a) above:
(i) prior to the earliest of (a) termination of
the Plan pursuant to Article VII thereof, (b) failure to obtain the
requisite stockholder approval pursuant to Paragraph (A) of Article
VI of the Plan, and (c) a Purchase Event or a Preliminary Purchase
Event;
(ii) on more than two occasions;
(iii) more than once during any calendar year;
(iv) within 90 days after the effective date of
a registration referred to in subparagraph (b) above pursuant to
which the holder or holders of the Option Shares concerned were
afforded the opportunity to register such shares under the Securities
Act and such shares were registered as requested; and
(v) unless a request therefor is made to
Issuer by the holder or holders of at least 25% or more of the
aggregate number of Option Shares then outstanding.
In addition to the foregoing, Issuer shall not be required to
maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement after the
expiration of nine months from the effective date of such registration
statement. Issuer shall use all reasonable efforts to make any filings,
and take all steps, under all applicable state securities laws to the
extent necessary to permit the sale or other disposition of the Option
Shares so registered in accordance with the intended method of
10
101
<PAGE>
distribution for such shares, provided, however, that Issuer shall not
be required to consent to general jurisdiction or qualify to do
business in any state where it is not otherwise required to so consent
to such jurisdiction or to so qualify to do business.
(d) Expenses. Except where applicable state law
prohibits such payments, Issuer will pay all expenses (including
without limitation registration fees, qualification fees, blue sky fees
and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel), legal
expenses including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel
to the holders whose Option Shares are being registered, printing
expenses and the costs of special audits or "cold comfort" letters,
expenses of underwriters, excluding discounts and commissions but
including liability insurance if Issuer so desires or the underwriters
so require, and the reasonable fees and expenses of any necessary
special experts) in connection with each registration pursuant to
subparagraph (a) or (b) above (including the related offerings and
sales by holders of Option Shares) and all other qualifications,
notifications or exemptions pursuant to subparagraph (a) or (b)
above.
(e) Indemnification. In connection with any
registration under subparagraph (a) or (b) above Issuer hereby
indemnifies the holder of the Option Shares, and each underwriter
thereof, including each person, if any, who controls such holder or
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
against all expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused
by any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement or prospectus or notification
or offering circular (including any amendments or supplements
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission, or
alleged omission, to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of such indemnified party are caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement that was included by Issuer in any such
registration statement or prospectus or notification or offering
circular (including any amendments or supplements thereto) in
reliance upon and in conformity with, information furnished in
writing to Issuer by such indemnified party expressly for use therein,
and Issuer and each officer, director and controlling person of Issuer
shall be indemnified by such holder of the Option Shares, or by such
underwriter, as the case may be, for all such expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities caused by any untrue, or alleged untrue,
statement, that was included by Issuer in any such registration
statement or prospectus or notification or offering circular (including
any amendments or supplements thereto) in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, information furnished in writing to Issuer by such
holder or such underwriter, as the case may be, expressly for such
use.
Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this
subparagraph (e) of notice of the commencement of any action
11
102
<PAGE>
against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or
reimbursement may be sought against any indemnifying party under
this subparagraph (e), such indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action,
but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
of any liability which it may otherwise have to any indemnified party
under this subparagraph (e). In case notice of commencement of any
such action shall be given to the indemnifying party as above
provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its
own expenses with counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to such
indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other
than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be paid by the
indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party either agrees to
pay the same; (ii) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense
of such action with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, or
(iii) the indemnified party has been advised by counsel that one or
more legal defenses may be available to the indemnifying party that
may be contrary to the interest of the indemnified party, in which
case the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense
of such action notwithstanding its obligation to bear fees and
expenses of such counsel. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
any settlement entered into without its consent, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld.
If the indemnification provided for in this subparagraph (e) is
unavailable to a party otherwise entitled to be indemnified in respect
of any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
party otherwise entitled to be indemnified, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such party to be indemnified as a result of
such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by Issuer, the selling shareholders and the underwriters from the
offering of the securities and also the relative fault of Issuer, the
selling shareholders and the underwriters in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such expenses, losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to
above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim; provided, however, that in no case
shall the holders of the Option Shares be responsible, in the
aggregate, for any amount in excess of the net offering proceeds
attributable to its Option Shares included in the offering. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Any obligation by any holder to indemnify shall be several and not
joint with other holders.

In connection with any registration pursuant to subparagraph
(a) or (b) above, Issuer and each holder of any Option Shares (other
than Grantee) shall enter into an agreement containing the
indemnification provisions of this subparagraph (e).
(f) Miscellaneous Reporting. Issuer shall comply
with all reporting requirements and will do all such other things as
may be necessary to permit the expeditious sale at any time of any
Option Shares by the holder thereof in accordance with and to the
extent permitted by any rule or regulation promulgated by the SEC
from time to time, including, without limitation, Rule 144A. Issuer
shall at its expense provide the holder of any Option Shares with any
information necessary in connection with the completion and filing
of any reports or forms required to be filed by them under the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or required pursuant to any state
securities laws or the rules of any stock exchange.
(g) Issue Taxes. Issuer will pay all stamp taxes in
connection with the issuance and the sale of the Option Shares and in
connection with the exercise of the Option, and will save Grantee
harmless, without limitation as to time, against any and all liabilities,
with respect to all such taxes.
10. Quotation; Listing. If Issuer Common Stock or any
other securities to be acquired upon exercise of the Option are then
authorized for quotation or trading or listing on the NASD/SCM, the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System National Market System ("NASDAQ/NMS") or any
securities exchange, Issuer, upon the request of Grantee, will
promptly file an application, if required, to authorize for quotation or
trading or listing the shares or Issuer Common Stock or other
securities to be acquired upon exercise of the Option on the
NASD/SCM, NASDQ/NMS or such other securities exchange and
will use its best efforts to obtain approval, if required, of such
quotation or listing as soon as practicable.
11. Division of Option. This Agreement (and the Option
granted hereby) are exchangeable, without expense, at the option of
Grantee, upon presentation and surrender of this Agreement at the
principal office of Issuer for other Agreements providing for Options
of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in
the aggregate the same number of shares of Issuer Common Stock
purchasable hereunder. The terms "Agreement" and "Option" as
used herein include any other Agreements and related Options for
which this Agreement (and the Option granted hereby) may be
exchanged. Upon receipt by Issuer of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Agreement, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Agreement, if mutilated, Issuer will execute and
deliver a new Agreement of like tenor and date. Any such new
13
104
<PAGE>
Agreement executed and delivered shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation on the part of Issuer, whether or not the
Agreement so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall at any time be
enforceable by anyone.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9, each of the parties hereto shall bear and pay all costs and
expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereunder, including fees and expenses of
its own financial consultants, investment bankers, accountants and
counsel.
(b) Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this
Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to

(b) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties
hereto (other than any transferees of the Option Shares or any
permitted transferee of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(h))
any rights or remedies hereunder. If any term, provision, covenant
or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a federal or state regulatory agency to be invalid, void
or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants
and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If for
any reason such court or regulatory agency determines that the
Option does not permit Grantee to acquire, or does not require Issuer
to repurchase, the full number of shares of Issuer Common Stock as
provided in Sections 3 and 8 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 7), it is
the express intention of Issuer to allow Grantee to acquire or to
require Issuer to repurchase such lesser number of shares as may be
permissible without any amendment or modification hereof.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without
regard to any applicable conflicts of law rules.
