intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the DGCL (relating to the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock

ITEM 9.                   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.  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 a 20% change in the
                 maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
                 of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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; provided,
                 however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
                 if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 purposes of determining any
                 liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
                 post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new

<PAGE>   6
                 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 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.

                 (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 for 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

intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174

ITEM 9.                   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.  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 a 20% change in the
                 maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
                 of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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; provided,
                 however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
                 if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 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.

                          (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 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.

                 (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 for 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 Newington, Commonwealth of Virginia, on this
5th day of October, 1998.
