All meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held either at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place in or outside the Commonwealth of Virginia as may be stated in the notice of any such meeting. The Board of Directors (sometimes hereinafter, the “Board”) may determine, in its discretion, that any meeting of the shareholders may be held solely by means of remote communication without designating a place for a physical assembly of shareholders, subject to the conditions imposed by applicable law and any guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board.

Section 2. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held at a time and place to be determined by the ChairmanChair or Vice ChairmanChair of the Board of Directors (sometimes hereinafter, the “Board”), if any,, the Chief Executive Officer (sometimes hereinafter, the “CEO”), the President, the Board of Directors or the Board’s Executive Committee, which time and place shall be stated in the notice of the annual meeting., unless the Board has determined that such meeting will be held solely by means of remote communication as set forth in Article I, Section 1, in which case the meeting shall not include a place for a physical assembly of shareholders, subject to the conditions imposed by applicable law and any guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board.

Section 3. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise specifically provided by applicable law, any special meeting of the shareholders shall be held only upon the call of the ChairmanChair or Vice ChairmanChair of the Board, if any, the CEO, the President, the Board of Directors or the Board’s Executive Committee.

Section 4. Notice of Shareholder Business. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section:

(a)  To be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, any business (other than director nominations, which is addressed in Section 4(b) below) must be (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder (A) who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation (and with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such proposal of business is made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) on the date of the notice provided in this Section 4(a) and at the time

1


of the annual meeting, (B) who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting, and (C) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 4(a).

For business to be considered properly brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must, in addition to any other applicable requirements, have given timely notice of such shareholder’s intent to bring such proposed business before such meeting and any such business must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be in proper written form and must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Corporate Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day, nor earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day, prior to the first anniversary of the commencement of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary date, notice by such shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper form, a shareholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary shall set forth the matters referenced in Section 4(c) below.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4(a) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to present proposals (except proposals submitted in accordance with the eligibility and procedural requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement) for consideration by the shareholders at any annual meeting of shareholders. The chairmanchair of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the proposed business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a), and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

(b)  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation. To be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, nominations for the election of directors must be (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement

2


thereto), (ii) made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the Corporation (A) who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation (and with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such nomination is made, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) on the date of the notice provided in this Section 4(b) and at the time of the annual meeting, (B) who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (C) who complies with the timely notice procedures set forth in this Section 4(b).

To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be in proper written form and must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Corporate Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation, not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the commencement of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary date, notice by such shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of shareholders, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous paragraph, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting of shareholders is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 4(b) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(c) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 4, a shareholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary shall set forth:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no disclosure shall be required with respect to ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is proposing business solely as a result of being the shareholder of record or nominee holder that is directed to prepare and submit the shareholder’s notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner;
