before the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at
such meeting, at his address which appears in the share transfer books of the
Corporation. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law, but

majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote with
respect to the business to be transacted, who shall be present in person or
represented by proxy at any meeting duly called, shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business. If less than a quorum shall be in attendance at the
time for which a meeting shall have been called, the meeting may be adjourned
from time to time by a majority of the shareholders present or represented by
proxy without notice other than by announcement at the meeting.

class entitled to vote on any matter coming before the meeting shall, as to such
matter, have one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of capital stock of

of Directors shall be at least one and not more than three. The number of

elected.

            (d)     A majority of the number of Directors elected and serving at
the time of any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of

may adjourn any meeting.

     2.4    MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS. An annual meeting of the Board of Directors
shall be held as soon as practicable after the adjournment of the annual meeting
of shareholders at such place as the Board may designate. Other meetings of the

fixed by

<Page>

resolution of the Board. Meetings may be held at any time without notice if all
of the Directors are present, or if those not present waive notice in writing

of such committees shall be as set forth in the resolutions establishing the
same.

<Page>

resulting from any cause whatever may be filled by a majority of the number of
Directors fixed by these By-laws.

may determine.

     4.2    REMOVAL OF OFFICERS; VACANCIES. Any officer of the Corporation may

have such powers and duties as may from time to time be assigned to him by the
President or the Board of Directors. Any Vice-President may sign and execute in

<Page>

by the Board of Directors, except where the signing and execution of such
documents shall be expressly delegated by the Board of Directors or the

be evidenced by certificates in forms prescribed by the Board of Directors and
executed in any manner permitted by law and stating thereon the information
required by law. Transfer agents and/or registrars for one or more classes of
shares of the

<Page>

Corporation may be appointed by the Board of Directors and may be required to
countersign certificates representing shares of such class or classes. If any
officer whose signature or facsimile thereof shall have been used on a share
certificate shall for any reason cease to be an officer of the Corporation and
such certificate shall not then have been delivered by the Corporation, the
Board of Directors may nevertheless adopt such certificate and it may then be
issued and delivered as though such person had not ceased to be an officer of
the Corporation.

     5.2    LOST, DESTROYED AND MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. Holders of the shares of
the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss,
destruction or mutilation of the certificate therefor, and the Board of
Directors may in its discretion cause one or more new certificates for the same
number of shares in the aggregate to be issued to such shareholder upon the
surrender of the mutilated certificate or upon satisfactory proof of such loss
or destruction, and the deposit of a bond in such form and amount and with such
surety as the Board of Directors may require.

     5.3    TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of the Corporation shall be
transferable or assignable only on the books of the Corporation by the holder in
person or by attorney on surrender of the certificate for such shares duly
endorsed and, if sought to be transferred by attorney, accompanied by a written
power of attorney to have the same transferred on the books of the Corporation.
The Corporation will recognize, however, the exclusive right of the person
registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive

<Page>

dividends and to vote as such owner.

     5.4    FIXING RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any
adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order
to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board
of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy
days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such
determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for
the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of shareholders, or of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend,
the date on which notices of the meeting are 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 such determination of shareholders.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new
record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than
120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

                                   ARTICLE VI

date and shall consist of such accounting periods as may be fixed by the Board
of Directors.

     6.3    CHECKS, NOTES AND DRAFTS. Checks, notes, drafts and other orders for
the payment of money shall be signed by such persons as the Board of Directors
from time to time may authorize. When the Board of Directors so authorizes,
however, the signature of any such person may be a facsimile.

     6.4    AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS. Unless proscribed by the Articles of
Incorporation, these By-laws may be amended or altered at any meeting of the
Board of Directors by affirmative vote of a majority of the number of Directors
fixed by these By-laws. The shareholders entitled to vote in respect of the
election of Directors, however, shall have the power to rescind, amend, alter or
repeal any By-laws and to enact By-laws which, if expressly so provided, may not
be amended, altered or repealed by the Board of Directors.

     6.5    VOTING OF SHARES HELD. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of
the Board of Directors or of the Executive Committee, if any, the President may
from time to time appoint an attorney or attorneys or agent or agents of the
Corporation, in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, to cast the vote
which the Corporation may be entitled to cast as a shareholder or otherwise in
any other corporation, any of whose securities may be held by the Corporation,
at meetings of the holders of the shares or other securities of such other
corporation, or to consent in writing to

<Page>

any action by any such other corporation; and the President shall instruct the
person or persons so appointed as to the manner of casting such votes or giving
such consent and may execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the
Corporation, and under its corporate seal or otherwise, such written proxies,
consents, waivers or other instruments as may be necessary or proper in the
premises. In lieu of such appointment the President may himself attend any
meetings of the holders of shares or other securities of any such other
corporation and there vote or exercise any or all power of the Corporation as
the holder of such shares or other securities of such other corporation.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                EMERGENCY BY-LAWS

     The Emergency By-laws provided in this Article VII shall be operative
during any emergency, notwithstanding any different provision in the preceding
Articles of these By-laws or in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation
or in the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (other than those provisions relating
to emergency by-laws). 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 By-laws, the By-laws
provided in the preceding Articles shall remain in effect during such emergency
and upon the termination of such emergency the Emergency By-laws shall cease to
be operative unless and until another such emergency shall occur.

     During any such emergency:

     (a) Any meeting of the Board of Directors may be called by

<Page>

any officer of the Corporation or by any Director. The notice thereof shall
specify the time and place of the meeting. To the extent feasible, notice shall
be given in accord with Section 2.4 above, but notice may be given only to such
of the Directors as it may be feasible to reach at the time, by such means as
may be feasible at the time, including publication or radio, and at a time less
than twenty-four hours before the meeting if deemed necessary by the person
giving notice. Notice shall be similarly given, to the extent feasible, to the
other persons referred to in (b) below.

     (b) At any meeting of the Board of Directors, a quorum shall consist of a
majority of the number of Directors fixed at the time by Article II of the
By-laws. If the Directors present at any particular meeting shall be fewer than
the number required for such quorum, other persons present as referred to below,
to the number necessary to make up such quorum, shall be deemed Directors for
such particular meeting as determined by the following provisions and in the
following order of priority:

            (i)     Vice-Presidents not already serving as Directors, in the
order of their seniority of first election to such offices, or if two or more
shall have been first elected to such offices on the same day, in the order of
their seniority in age;

            (ii)    All other officers of the Corporation in the order of their
seniority of first election to such offices, or if two or more shall have been
first elected to such offices on the same day, in the order of their seniority
in age; and

            (iii)   Any other persons that are designated on a list that shall
have been approved by the Board of Directors before the

<Page>

emergency, such persons to be taken in such order of priority and subject to
such conditions as may be provided in the resolution approving the list.

     (c)    The Board of Directors, during, as well as before, any such
emergency, may provide, and from time to time modify, lines of succession in the
event that during such an emergency any or all officers or agents of the
Corporation shall for any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their
duties.

     (d)    The Board of Directors, during, as well as before, any such
emergency, may, effective in the emergency, change the principal office, or
designate several alternative offices, or authorize the officers so to do.

     No officer, Director or employee shall be liable for action taken in good
faith in accordance with these Emergency By-laws.

     These Emergency By-laws 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 provisions of the next preceding
paragraph with regard to action or inaction prior to the time of such repeal or
change. Any such amendment of these Emergency By-laws may make any further or
different provision that may be practical and necessary for the circumstances of
the emergency.
