Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of

Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
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 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.
The
Registrant's Amended Articles of Incorporation provide for mandatory indemnification
of its current and former directors and officers against liability incurred by them in
proceedings instituted or threatened against them by third parties, or by or on behalf of
the Registrant itself, relating to the manner in which they performed their duties unless
they have been guilty of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
The
Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance policies.
Within the limits of their coverage, the policies insure (1) the directors and officers of
the Registrant and its subsidiaries against certain losses resulting from claims against
them in their capacities as directors and officers to the extent that such losses are not
indemnified by the Registrant and (2) the Registrant to the extent that it indemnifies
such directors and officers for losses as permitted under the laws of Virginia.
The
above discussion of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and of the Registrant's
Amended Articles of Incorporation is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its
entirety by such statutes and Amended Articles of Incorporation.

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:
(a)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b)
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 hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(c)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed previously in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are incorporated by reference in this 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 Registrant's
Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and each filing of the Plan's Annual
Report pursuant to 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.
(c)
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 Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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
