</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Registrant provide for
the indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors and officers to the fullest
extent authorized by, and subject to, the conditions set forth in the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;&#146;), except that the
Registrant will indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by the person only if the proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized by its Board of Directors. The indemnification
provided under the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws
includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) in advance of any proceeding for which indemnification may be
had in advance of its final disposition, provided that the payment of such
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by a director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be made only upon delivery
to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that the
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. According to the
Registrant&#146;s bylaws, if a claim for indemnification is not paid by the
Registrant within 60&nbsp;days after a written claim has been received by the
Registrant, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring an action against the
Registrant to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant will be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting the action.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation
provides that directors of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As a result of
this provision, the Registrant and its stockholders may be unable to obtain
monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Registrant&#146;s bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or
general) or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any such capacity, or
arising out of the person&#146;s status as such, and related expenses, whether or
not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against such
liability under the provisions of the DGCL. The Registrant has purchased
director and officer liability insurance on behalf of its directors and
officers.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp; To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

Securities Act of 1933;
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp; 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of
Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement; and
</FONT>

distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form&nbsp;S-3, Form&nbsp;S-8, or Form&nbsp;F-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp; 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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any

Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Registrant provide for
the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to the fullest
extent authorized by, and subject to, the conditions set forth in the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"'), except that the
Registrant will indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by the person only if the proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized by its Board of Directors. The indemnification
provided under the Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws
includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) in advance of any proceeding for which indemnification may be
had in advance of its final disposition, provided that the payment of such
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be made only upon delivery
to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that the
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. According to the
Registrant's bylaws, if a claim for indemnification is not paid by the
Registrant within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the
Registrant, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring an action against the
Registrant to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant will be entitled to be paid also the expense of
prosecuting the action.
As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation
provides that directors of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As a result of
this provision, the Registrant and its stockholders may be unable to obtain
monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
Under the Registrant's bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or
general) or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any such capacity, or
arising out of the person's status as such, and related expenses, whether or
not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against such
liability under the provisions of the DGCL. The Registrant has purchased
director and officer liability insurance on behalf of its directors and
officers.

Item 9. Undertakings
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(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.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, or Form F-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference 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.
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 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report 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.
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Reston, Commonwealth of Virginia, on this 26th day
of December, 2001.
