DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED. In accordance with the Rights Agreement dated as of July 14, 1986, and amended on December 12, 1988 (the "Rights Agreement") between Dana Corporation (the "Company") and Chemical Bank as successor to Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company as Rights Agent, the Company has issued one preferred share purchase right (the "Rights') in connection with each share of the Company's common stock, par value $1 per share (the "Common Stock" or the "Common Shares") outstanding on or after July 25, 1986. Effective June 1, 1994, the Company effected a two-for-one split of the Common Stock. The following description of the Rights reflects the adjustments resulting from this stock split. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, each Right entitles its holder, until the earlier of (i) July 25, 1996, or (ii) the redemption of the Rights, to purchase from the Company one two-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of the Company at a purchase price of $50 per one two-hundredth of a share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The Rights are evidenced by the certificates representing the Common Shares and are not exercisable or transferable apart from the Common Shares until the earlier of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a person or group of affiliated or associated persons beneficially owning 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares. As of either such date, separate certificates for the Rights will be mailed to shareholders of record of Common Shares and the Rights could begin trading separately from the Common Shares. If (i) 30% or more of the Common Shares are acquired by a person or group of affiliated or associated persons or (ii) during such time as there is a person or group of affiliated or associated persons which owns 20% or more of the Common Shares, certain transactions occur which increase the ownership of such person or group by more than 1% or such person or group engages in certain self-dealing activities, then each holder of a Right (other than such person or group) will have the right to purchase the Junior Preferred Stock or, in lieu of the Junior Preferred Stock, a number of Common Shares having a market value equal to twice the Purchase Price of the 2 3 Right. If 30% (but less than 50%) of the Common Shares are acquired by any person or group of affiliated or associated persons, the Company's Board of Directors may exchange each Right for one Common Share. In these situations, the Rights owned by any person or group of affiliated or associated persons holding 20% or more of the Company's Common Shares become void and cannot be exercised. If the Company is acquired in a merger or similar transaction, or if 50% of the Company's assets or earning power is transferred to another company, the holder of each Right will have the right to purchase a number of shares of the acquiring company's common stock having a market price equal to twice the Purchase Price of the Right. The Company's Articles of Incorporation set forth the terms of the Junior Preferred Stock. The Junior Preferred Stock, if issued, will be entitled to a cumulative preferential quarterly dividend per share equal to the greater of $10 or 200 times the dividend declared on the Company's Common Shares. The Junior Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole at the Company's option at a cash price per share of the greater of $200 or 200 times the Current Market Price (as defined) of the Common Shares. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, plus an amount per share equal to the greater of $200 or 200 times the payment made per share to holders of Common Shares. Each share of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to 200 votes, voting together with the holders of the Common Shares on all matters submitted to the vote of stockholders. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Common Shares are exchanged, the holder of each share of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 200 times the amount and type of consideration paid per Common Share. The rights of the holders of Junior Preferred Stock as to dividends and liquidations, their voting rights, and their rights in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned on a substantial number of Rights being acquired. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Company's Board of Directors prior to the time that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Shares, since until such time the Rights may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $.025 each.

Dated: April 29, 1994 Dana Corporation [Corporate Seal] By: /s/ Martin J. Strobel --------------------- Martin J. Strobel Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary 6 EX-4 3 EXHIBIT 4 1 Exhibit 4 Effective June 1, 1994 RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF DANA CORPORATION FIRST: The name of the corporation is DANA CORPORATION (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation"). SECOND: The purposes for which the Corporation is formed are to manufacture and deal in metal and other products. The Corporation may engage in any other business except a business that is required to be stated in these articles. THIRD: The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued by the Corporation shall be 240,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the par value of $1.00 per share and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without par value. 1. Shares of Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in one or more series, each series to be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes; authority is hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors to divide any or all of the Preferred Stock into series and, within the limitations prescribed by law and by this Article, to fix and determine the following relative rights and preferences, as to which there may be variations between different series: (a) the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series which shall be such as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes; (b) the rate of dividend, the time of payment and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends shall be cumulative, and the extent of participation rights, if any; (c) any right to vote with holders of shares of any other series or class and any right to vote as a class, either generally or as a condition to specified corporation action; (d) in the event the shares of the series are to be redeemable, the price at and the terms and conditions on which shares may be redeemed; 1 2 (e) the amount payable upon shares in event of involuntary liquidation; (f) the amount payable upon shares in event of voluntary liquidation; (g) any sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of shares; and (h) the terms and conditions on which shares may be converted, if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion. The shares of all series of Preferred Stock shall be identical except as, within the limitations set forth above in this Section I, shall have been fixed and determined by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance thereof. 2. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock of each series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared payable by the Board of Directors, dividends at the dividend rate fixed by the Board of Directors for such series and not exceeding such rate except to the extent of any participation right. Dividends, if cumulative and in arrears, shall not bear interest. No dividends shall be declared or paid on or set apart for the Common Stock or for stock of any other class hereafter created ranking junior the Preferred Stock in respect of dividends or assets (hereinafter called Junior Stock) unless and until (i) full dividends on the outstanding Preferred Stock at the dividend rate or rates therefor, together with the full additional amount required by any participation right, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment with respect to all past dividend periods, to the extent that the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends with respect to any particular past dividend period, and the current dividend period, and (ii) all mandatory sinking fund payments that shall have become due in respect of any series of the Preferred Stock shall have been made. Unless full dividends with respect to all past dividend periods on the outstanding Preferred Stock at the dividend rate or rates therefor, to the extent that holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends with respect to any particular past dividend period, together with the full additional amount required by any participation right, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment and all mandatory sinking fund payments that shall have become due in respect of any series of the Preferred Stock shall have been made, no distributions shall be made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series unless distributions are made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of all series then outstanding in proportion to the aggregate amounts of the deficiencies in payments due to the respective series, and all payments shall be applied, first, to dividends accrued and in arrears, next, to any amount required by any participation right, and, finally, to mandatory sinking fund payments. The terms "current dividend period" and "past 2 3 dividend period" mean, if two or more series of Preferred Stock having different dividend periods are at the time outstanding, the current dividend period or any past dividend period, as the case may be, with respect to each such series. 3. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Preferred Stock of each series shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, the fixed liquidation price for such series, plus, in case such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been voluntary, the fixed liquidation premium for such series, if any, together in all cases with a sum equal to all dividends accrued or in arrears thereon and the full additional amount required by any participation right, before any distribution of the assets shall be made to holders of the Common Stock or Junior Stock; but the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no further participation in such distribution. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets distributable among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be sufficient to permit the payment of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding ratably in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled. For the purposes of this Section 3, the expression "dividends accrued or in arrears" meant, in respect of each share of the Preferred Stock of any series at a particular time, an amount equal to the product of the rate of dividend per annum applicable to the shares of such series multiplied by the number of years and any fractional part of a year that shall have elapsed from the date when dividends on such shares become cumulative to the particular time in question less the total amount of dividends actually paid on the shares of such series or declared and set apart for payment thereon; provided, however, that, if the dividends on such shares shall not be fully cumulative, such expression shall mean the dividends, if any, cumulative in respect of such shares for the period stated in the Articles of Serial Designation creating such shares less all dividends paid in or with respect to such period. 4. Except as the right to vote generally or as a class may be conferred upon holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock by law or by any Articles of Serial Designation issued with respect to any series thereof, holders of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote on the Election of Directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Such holders of 3 4 Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by them. Subject to the prior rights and preferences of the holders of Preferred Stock as set forth in these Articles and in any Articles of Serial Designation issued with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for payment thereof, and to receive in pro rata distribution the assets of the Corporation remaining after payment of all liabilities and all preferential amounts to which the holders of shares at the time outstanding of all classes of stock having prior rights thereto shall be entitled upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Corporation. 5. No holder of any stock of the Corporation of any class now or hereafter authorized shall, as such, have any preemptive right to acquire any shares of any stock of the Corporation, of any class now or hereafter authorized, or any securities convertible into stock of the Corporation, or any warrants, rights or options granted by the Corporation for the purchase of any such shares or securities. 6. Series A Junior Preferred Stock: A. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. The shares of such series shall be designated as a "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Junior Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 1,000,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation. All shares removed from the Junior Preferred Stock by any such decrease become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein. B. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. (i) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Junior Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of the Common Stock and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable on the first day of March, June, September and December in each 4 5 year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Junior Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 (payable in cash) or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the date hereof declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. (ii) The Corporation shall not declare and set aside for payment a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payment in shares of Common Stock) until it shall declare and set aside for payment a dividend or distribution on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section. In the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Junior Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly 5 6 Dividend Payment Date. (iii) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Junior Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Junior Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rate on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. C. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: (i) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Junior Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which 6 7 is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock and the holders of Shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one voting group on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. (iii) The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Junior Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, voting together as a single voting group. (iv) Except as set forth herein or as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, holders of Junior Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. D. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS. (i) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in Section (b) of this Paragraph 6 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Junior Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not: (a) declare or pay, or set apart for payment, dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock; (b) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity 7 8 (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the aggregate amounts of the deficiencies in payments due to the respective series; (c) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Junior Preferred Stock, or any shares of Stock ranking on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (ii) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (i) of this Section D purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. E. REACQUIRED SHARES. Any shares of Junior Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. F. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall have received an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distribution 8 9 thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment plus an amount equal to the greater of (a) $100 per share and (b) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the provision in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. G. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, share exchange, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment thereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by 9 10 multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. H. REDEMPTION; REPURCHASE. The outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Board of Directors, in whole, but not in part, at any time, or from time to time, at a cash price per share equal to (i) the greater of (a) $100 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, the product of 100 times the Current Market Price, as such term is hereinafter defined, of the Common Stock, plus (ii) all dividends which on the redemption date have accrued on the shares to be redeemed and have not been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, without interest. The Corporation may, from time to time and to the extent allowed by law, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Junior Preferred Stock provided, however, that if and whenever any quarterly dividend shall have accrued on the Junior Preferred Stock which has not been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, the Corporation may not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Junior Preferred Stock unless all shares of such stock at the time outstanding are so purchased or otherwise acquired. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after July 25, 1986 pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under subsection (i) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. The "Current Market Price" shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to the day before the redemption date; provided, however, that in the event that the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock is determined during a period following the 10 11 announcement by the Corporation of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Common Stock payable in shares of such Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of such Common Stock, or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common Stock, and prior to the expiration of the requisite thirty (30) Trading-Day period, as set forth above, after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the Current Market Price shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the last quoted high bid and low asked prices in the over- the-counter market, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Such rights shall not prevent or restrict the power of the Corporation to make or provide for any further indemnity, or provisions for determining entitlement to indemnity, pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements, bylaws, or other arrangements (including, without limitation, creation of trust funds or security interests funded by letters of credit or other means) approved by the Board of Directors (whether or not any of the directors of the Corporation shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements, bylaws or arrangements); provided, however, that any provision of such agreements, bylaws or other arrangements shall not be effective if and to the extent that it is determined to be contrary to this Article or applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 10.
