If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be given when it is deposited with postage prepaid in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the corporation. Notice of a meeting to act on any matter with regard to which the time period for giving same shall by statute be other than so stated above shall be given in the manner provided above but in accordance with the time period required by statute, accompanied by a copy of the proposed action, if statutorily required. A stockholder may waive notice of a meeting by signing a written waiver of such notice either before or after the date of such meeting, or by attending same. Action may be taken by the stockholders without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

        7.    STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE:    For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, fifty (50) days. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix a date which is not more than fifty days in advance of the date on which the particular action is to be taken as the record date for any such determination of stockholders. If no action as set out herein is taken by the Board of Directors, then the date on which



the notice of the meeting is mailed, or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the determination of stockholders.

At each election for directors, every stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected at that time and for whose election he has a right to vote, or as provided for in the Articles of Incorporation.

For purpose hereof, the term "expenses" shall include, but not be limited to, all expenses, costs, attorney's fees, judgments (including adjudications other than on the merits), fines, penalties, arbitration awards, costs of arbitration, and sums paid out and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred or imposed in connection with any suit, claim, action or proceeding, and any settlement or compromise thereof approved by the Board of Directors as being in the best interests of the corporation.

In making or refusing to make any payment under this or any other provision of these by-laws, the corporation, its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be fully protected if they rely on the written opinion of counsel selected by, or in the manner designated by, the Board of Directors.

        (b)  Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in these by-laws.

        (c)  The corporation may indemnify any person even though they are not or were not a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, if such person served at the request of the corporation on a committee created by the Board of Directors to consider and report to it in respect of any matter. Any such indemnification may be made under the provisions hereof and shall be subject to the limitations hereof.

        (d)  These provisions shall be applicable to actions, suits or proceedings (including appeals) commenced after the date of adoption of the by-laws whether or not the action, suit or proceeding arose from acts or omissions to act which occurred before or after such date.

        (e)  The above provisions for indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, or under any law or statute, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

        (f)    The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against such liability under the provisions of these by-laws.

        24.    SEAL:    The seal of the corporation shall contain the name of the corporation and be in such form as shall be approved by the Board of Directors.

        25.    GENERAL:    Any matters not specifically covered by these by-laws shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the Code of Virginia in force at the time.
