              A
      requirement by the Company that Executive perform any act or refrain from
      performing any act that would be in violation of any applicable
      law.

              A
      material and substantial reduction of the Employee’s responsibilities that

      rights and responsibilities set forth in Section

              (c)

            	
              Notice and Opportunity to
      Cure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a
      condition precedent to the Company’s right to terminate Executive’s
      employment for Cause and Executive’s right to terminate for Good Reason
      that (i) the party seeking termination shall first have given the other
      party written notice stating with specificity the reason for the
      termination (“breach”) and (ii) if such breach is susceptible of cure or
      remedy, a period of fifteen (15) days from and after the giving of such
      notice shall have elapsed without the breaching party having effectively
      cured or remedied such breach during such 15-day period, unless such
      breach cannot be cured or remedied within fifteen (15) days, in which case
      the period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a reasonable time (not
      to exceed an additional thirty (30) days) provided the breaching party has
      made and continues to make a diligent effort to effect such remedy or
      cure.

              Voluntary
      Termination.  Executive, at his election, may terminate
      his employment upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of
      termination other than for Good
Reason.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (e)

            	
              Termination Upon Death or
      Permanent and Total Disability.  The Employment Period
      shall be terminated by the death of Executive.  The Employment
      Period may be terminated by the Board if Executive shall be rendered
      incapable of performing his duties to the Company by reason of any
      medically determined physical or mental impairment that can be reasonably
      expected to result in death or that can be reasonably be expected to last
      for a period of either (i) six (6) or more consecutive months from the
      first date of Executive’s absence due to the disability or (ii) nine (9)
      months during any twelve-month period (a “Permanent and Total
      Disability”).  If the Employment Period is terminated by reason
      of a Permanent and Total Disability of Executive, the Company shall give
      thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to that effect to
      Executive.

              Termination at the Election of
      the Company.  At the election of the Company, otherwise
      than for Cause as set forth in Section 4(a) above, upon not less than
      sixty (60) days prior written notice of
  termination.

              (g)

            	
              Termination for Business
      Failure.  Anything contained herein to the contrary
      notwithstanding, in the event the Company’s business is discontinued
      because continuation is rendered impracticable by substantial financial
      losses, lack of funding, legal decisions, administrative rulings,
      declaration of war, dissolution, national or local economic depression or
      crisis or any reasons beyond the control of the Company, then this
      Agreement shall terminate as of the day the Company determines to cease
      operation with the same force and effect as if such day of the month were
      originally set as the termination date hereof.  In the event
      this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 4(g), the Executive
      will not be entitled to severance
pay.

      programs.  In the event that Executive’s participation in any
      such plan or program is barred, the Company shall use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to provide Executive with benefits substantially
      similar (including all tax effects) to those which Executive would
      otherwise have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs from
      which his continued participation is barred.  In the event that
      Executive is covered under substitute benefit plans of another employer
      prior to the expiration of the Severance Period, the Company will no
      longer be obligated to continue the coverages provided for in this Section
      5(a)(ii).

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              Other Termination of
      Employment.  In the event that Executive’s employment
      with the Company is terminated during the Employment Period by the Company
      for Cause (as provided for in Section 4(a) hereof) or by Executive other
      than for Good Reason (as provided for in Section 4(b) hereof), the Company
      shall pay or grant Executive any earned but unpaid salary, bonus, and
      Options through Executive’s final date of employment with the Company, and
      the Company shall have no further obligations to
  Executive.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Withholding of
      Taxes.  All payments required to be made by the Company
      to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject only to the withholding
      of such amounts, if any, relating to tax, excise tax and other payroll
      deductions as may be required by law or
  regulation.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              No Other
      Obligations.  The benefits payable to Executive under
      this Agreement are not in lieu of any benefits payable under any employee
      benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company, except as
      specifically provided herein, and Executive will receive such benefits or
      payments, if any, as he may be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms
      of such plans, programs and arrangements.  Except for the
      obligations of the Company provided by the foregoing and this Section 5,
      the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive upon his
      termination of employment.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (e)

            	
              Mitigation or
      Offset.  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
      damages provided by this Section 5 by seeking substitute employment or
      otherwise and there shall not be an offset of the payments or benefits set
      forth in this Section 5.

performed by Executive while acting in good faith on behalf of the Company and
within the scope of the authority of Executive pursuant to this Agreement and to
the fullest extent provided under the Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation and
the Stock Corporation Act of Virginia, except that Executive must have in good
faith believed that such action was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

    


    The Company shall provide that
Executive is covered by Directors and Officers insurance that the Company
provides to other senior executives and/or board members.

              Arbitration

            


    

    


    Executive and the Company shall submit
to mandatory and exclusive binding arbitration, any controversy or claim arising
out of, or relating to, this Agreement or any breach hereof where the amount in
dispute is greater than or equal to $50,000, provided, however, that the
parties retain their right to, and shall not be prohibited, limited or in any
other way restricted from, seeking or obtaining equitable relief from a court
having jurisdiction over the parties.  In the event the amount of any
controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or any
breach hereof, is less than $50,000, the parties hereby agree to submit such
claim to mediation.  Such arbitration shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and conducted through the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in the District of Columbia, before a single neutral arbitrator, in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of
the American Arbitration Association in effect at that time.  The
parties may conduct only essential discovery prior to the hearing, as defined by
the AAA arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision
which contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is
based.  Mediation shall be governed by, and conducted through, the
AAA.  Judgment upon the determination or award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
