               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
        -----------------------------------------

The Registrant's Bylaws provide for the indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law except that a director
or officer may be indemnified for costs of a proceeding that he has initiated
only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. Additionally,
the Registrant has adopted an Indemnification Agreement to be used as the basis
for specific agreements between the Registrant and individual directors and
officers to ensure contractual assurance that the protections conferred by the
Registrant's Bylaws will be available to the indemnitee to the extent required,
permitted or not prohibited by law. The Bylaws and the Indemnification Agreement
further provide for a mechanism whereby indemnification claims shall be paid
within thirty (30) days after such claim has been received unless independent
legal counsel has determined that indemnification of such person would be
prohibited, in whole or in part, under applicable law, or that a claim for
expenses shall not be paid, in whole or in part, on the grounds that it is
unreasonably high. Such determination shall be conclusively binding on the
Registrant and on the claimant. If no such determination is made by independent
legal counsel and the claim is not paid within thirty (30) days, the claimant
has the right to pursue its claim against the Registrant in the courts. Under
Delaware law, a director or officer may not be indemnified unless a
determination is made that he was acting in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, he reasonably believed to
be lawful.

The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under liability
insurance policies purchased by the Registrant. However, the Registrant shall
not be required either to obtain or maintain said policy or policies of
insurance if it is not reasonably available or if, in the reasonable business
judgment of the then directors of the Registrant, either (i) the premium cost
for such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of coverage;
or (ii) the coverage provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that
there is insufficient benefit from such insurance.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

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) (ss.230.424(b) of this
chapter) 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 with or furnished to the Commission 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;

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining 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 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.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act 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


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

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 Vienna, State of Virginia, on October 20, 1997.

                                    PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
        ---------------------------------------

The following documents which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:

1. The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997;

2. The description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the
Registrant's registration statement for the common stock filed with the
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating the description;

3. All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 since June 30, 1997; and

4. All documents hereafter filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered

Item 4. Description of Securities.
        -------------------------

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Counsel.
        --------------------

The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby has been passed upon
for the Registrant by Thomas E. McCabe, Esq., Senior Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary of the Registrant. As of September 30, 1997, Mr. McCabe
owns 8,254 shares of the Registrant's common stock and options to purchase
83,670 additional shares.

                                      -2-
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
        -----------------------------------------

The Registrant's Bylaws provide for the indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law except that a director
or officer may be indemnified for costs of a proceeding that he has initiated
only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. Additionally,
the Registrant has adopted an Indemnification Agreement to be used as the basis
for specific agreements between the Registrant and individual directors and
officers to ensure contractual assurance that the protections conferred by the
Registrant's Bylaws will be available to the indemnitee to the extent required,
permitted or not prohibited by law. The Bylaws and the Indemnification Agreement
further provide for a mechanism whereby indemnification claims shall be paid
within thirty (30) days after such claim has been received unless independent
legal counsel has determined that indemnification of such person would be
prohibited, in whole or in part, under applicable law, or that a claim for
expenses shall not be paid, in whole or in part, on the grounds that it is
unreasonably high. Such determination shall be conclusively binding on the
Registrant and on the claimant. If no such determination is made by independent
legal counsel and the claim is not paid within thirty (30) days, the claimant
has the right to pursue its claim against the Registrant in the courts. Under
Delaware law, a director or officer may not be indemnified unless a
determination is made that he was acting in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, he reasonably believed to
be lawful.

The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under liability
insurance policies purchased by the Registrant. However, the Registrant shall
not be required either to obtain or maintain said policy or policies of
insurance if it is not reasonably available or if, in the reasonable business
judgment of the then directors of the Registrant, either (i) the premium cost
for such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of coverage;
or (ii) the coverage provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that
there is insufficient benefit from such insurance.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

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) (ss.230.424(b) of this
chapter) 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 with or furnished to the Commission 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;

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining 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 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.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act 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

                                      -4-
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 Vienna, State of Virginia, on October 20, 1997.
