ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION; TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PERSONS Section 1. Indemnification and Exculpation.

In each and every situation where the Corporation may do so under such section, the Corporation hereby obligates itself to so indemnify the Indemnitees, and in each case, if any, where the Corporation must make certain investigations on a case--by--case basis prior to indemnification, the Corporation hereby obligates itself to pursue such investigations diligently, it being the specific intention of these Bylaws to obligate the Corporation to indemnify each person whom it may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law at any time and from time to time. To the extent not prohibited by Section 13.1--3.1 of the Stock Corporation Act of the Commonwealth of Virginia (or any other provision of the Stock Corporation Act of the Commonwealth of Virginia), the Indemnitees shall not be liable to the Corporation except for their own individual willful misconduct or actions taken in bad faith. Section 2. Common or Interested Officers and Directors. The officers and directors shall exercise their powers and duties in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its officers or directors, or between the Corporation and any corporation, firm, association, or other entity in which one or more of the officers or directors of the Corporation are officers or directors, or are pecuniarily or otherwise interested, shall be 12 either void or voidable because of such common directorate, officership or interest, because such officers or directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction, or because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (unless otherwise prohibited by law) any of the conditions specified in the following paragraphs exist: (a) the material facts of the common directorate or interest or contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee thereof and the Board or committee authorizes or ratifies such contract or transaction in good faith by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the number of such disinterested directors may be less than a quorum; or (b) the material facts of the common directorate or interest or contract or transaction are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair and commercially reasonable to the Corporation at the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board, a committee thereof, or the stockholders, as the case may be. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies any contract or transaction, and may vote thereat to authorize any contract or transaction with like force and effect as if he, she or they were not such officers or directors of such other corporation or were not so interested.

Each certificate also shall state upon its face the name of the person to whom it is issued and that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each 13 certificate may (but need not) be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or facsimile thereof. In the event any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before the certificate is issued, the certificate nevertheless may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer at the date of issue of the certificate. All stock certificates representing shares of capital stock which are subject to restrictions on transfer or to other restrictions may have imprinted thereon a notation of such restriction. Section 2. Registration of Transfer. Upon surrender to the Corporation or to any transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Corporation, or its transfer agent, shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon the Corporation's books.

The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person. The Corporation (or its transfer agent) shall not be required to send notices or dividends to a name or address other than the name or address of the stockholders appearing on the stock ledger maintained by the Corporation (or by the transfer agent or registrar, if any), unless any such stockholder shall have notified the Corporation (or the transfer agent or registrar, if any), in writing, of another name or address at least ten (10) days prior to the mailing of such notice or dividend. Section 4. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders of record who are entitled (i) to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, (ii) to express written consent to corporate action in lieu of a meeting, (iii) to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or (iv) to allotment of any rights or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock for the purpose of any other lawful action or in order that the Corporation may make a determination of the stockholders of record for any other lawful purpose, the Board of Directors, in advance, may fix a date as the record date for any 14 such determination. Such date shall not be more than fifty (50) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the date of any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting taken pursuant to Section 6 of Article II; provided, however, that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Section 5. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificate. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation which is claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may require as a condition precedent to issuance that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, advertise the same in such manner as the Board shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum, or other security in such form, as the Board may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
