ARTICLE VI — INDEMNIFICATION

     1. General. The corporation shall indemnify against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by each director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (including an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in any capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity, provided he or she acted or took no action in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

     2. Suits by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of this Article, no indemnification shall be made in any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in that Section by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

     3. Successful Defense. To the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section l of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

     4. Determination. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a majority of disinterested directors so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iii) by the stockholders. If the determination is to be made by the directors, they may rely, as to all questions of law, on the advice of independent counsel. Any person seeking indemnification may apply to a court before or after any determination by the directors, independent legal counsel, or the stockholders, for a determination that he or she is entitled to indemnification because he or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article.

     5. Advances. Expenses (including attorney fees) incurred in defending an action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided by Section 4 of this Article, upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it ultimately shall be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article.

     6. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability imposed upon it in accordance with this Article and may also purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, or agent of the corporation or who was serving at the request of the corporation in any

capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her under the provisions of this Article.

     7. Miscellaneous. Every reference herein to director, officer, employee, or agent shall include former directors, officers, employees, and agents and their respective heirs, executors, and administrators. The indemnification provided pursuant to the power conferred on the Board of Directors shall not be exclusive of any other indemnification to which any director, officer, employee, or agent may be entitled, including any right under any policies of insurance that may be purchased and maintained by the corporation or others, with respect to claims, issues, or matters in relation to which the corporation would not have the power to indemnify such director, officer, employee, or agent under the provisions of this Article.

ARTICLE VII — CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

     1. Certificates.

     2. Signatures. Any or all of the signatures of the officers of the Corporation upon a certificate may be facsimiles.

     3. Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed. When authorizing the issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to its issuance, may prescribe such terms and condition as it deems expedient and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate to protect the

Corporation from any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

     4. Transfers of Shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.

     5. Authority to Fix Rights of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors shall have authority, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to divide and establish any or all of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock not then allocated to any series of Preferred Stock into one or more series and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to fix and determine the designation of each such series, the number of shares that shall constitute such series, and the following relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established:

          (a) The annual or other periodic dividend rate payable on shares of such series, the time of payment thereof, whether such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative, and the date or dates from which any cumulative dividends shall commence to accrue;

          (b) the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be redeemed;

          (d) the sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series;

          (e) the extent of the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series;

          (f) the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be converted into shares of stock of the Corporation of any other class or classes or into shares of any other series of the same or any other class or classes;

          (g) whether, and if so the extent to which, shares of such series may participate with the Common Stock in any dividends in excess of the preferential dividend fixed for shares of such series or in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation, upon a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up thereof, in excess of the preferential amount fixed for shares of such series; and

          (h) any other preferences and relative, optional, or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of such preferences or rights of shares of such series not fixed and determined by law or in this Article VII.

     6. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, to vote as owner of the shares, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Virginia.

An emergency exists if a quorum of the Corporation’s Board of Directors cannot readily be assembled because of some catastrophic event. To the extent not inconsistent with these Emergency Bylaws, the Bylaws provided in the preceding Articles shall remain in effect during the emergency, and upon the termination of the emergency, the Emergency Bylaws shall cease to be operative unless and until another emergency shall occur.

     These Emergency Bylaws shall be subject to repeal or change by further action of the Board of Directors or by action of the shareholders, except that no such repeal or change shall modify the standard of conduct set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph for purposes of establishing the liability of an officer, Director, or employee for action or inaction occurring before the time of such repeal or change. Any amendment of these Emergency Bylaws may make any further or different provision that may be practical and necessary for the circumstances of the emergency.
