      Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), has amended and
      restated its Articles of Incorporation. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
      of
      the Company held on May 16, 2006, the shareholders approved two amendments
      to
      the Company&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation, as described in the Company&#8217;s Proxy
      Statement dated April 5, 2006 relating to the Annual Meeting (the &#8220;Proxy
      Statement&#8221;), with one amendment revising the Article pertaining to directors and
      the other amendment revising the Article pertaining to indemnification. The
      amendment to the Article pertaining to directors deletes the names of initial
      directors, many of whom are no longer affiliated with the Company, deletes
      specific year references to the classes of directors and refers to the classes
      in a generic manner, clarifies that shareholders are eligible to vote on a
      director appointed to fill a vacancy at the next annual meeting of shareholders
      and deletes the supermajority requirement applicable to any changes to the
      Article. The amendment to the Article pertaining to indemnification rewrites
      the
      article for consistency with the 2005 changes to the Virginia Stock Corporation
      Act. </font></div>

      Company&#8217;s Charter and Bylaws contain provisions which may have the effect of
      delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company&#8217;s Charter
      and Bylaws provide: (i) for division of the Board of Directors into three
      classes, with one class elected each year to serve a three-year term; (ii)
      that
      directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote
      of
      the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; and
      (iii) that a vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by the remaining
      directors. In addition, the Charter provides that the holders of capital stock
      of the Company may alter, amend or repeal provisions of the Bylaws only upon
      the
      affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares
      entitled to vote on the matter. The Company&#8217;s Bylaws require advance
      notification for a shareholder to bring business before a shareholders&#8217; meeting
      or to nominate a person for election as a director. The Company&#8217;s Charter and
      Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred
      Stock, special meetings of shareholders may be called only by the Chairman
      of
      the Board or a majority of the total number of directors which the Board of
      Directors would have if there were no vacancies, and may not be called by the
      shareholders. The business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting
      of
      shareholders is limited to the business brought before the meeting by or at
      the
      direction of the Board of Directors.</font></div>

      Company&#8217;s Charter also contains an &#8220;affiliated transaction provision&#8221; that
      provides that, in the event that holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote
      on
      certain transactions, a supermajority of at least 80% of all the votes that
      the
      holders of Common Stock are entitled to cast thereon shall be required for
      the
      approval of such transactions. Such supermajority approval would be required
      for
      (i) a merger or consolidation involving any person or entity who directly or
      indirectly owns or controls 10% or more of the voting power of the Company
      (an
&#8220;Interested Shareholder&#8221;) at the record date for determining shareholders
      entitled to vote and (ii) a sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of
      the
      Company&#8217;s assets or property to or with an Interested Shareholder, or for the
      approval of a sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of the assets or
      property of an Interested Shareholder to or with the Company. In addition,
      the
      Company&#8217;s Charter provides that the same 80% vote shall be required for the
      approval of certain transactions including a reclassification of securities,
      recapitalization or other transaction designed to decrease the number of holders
      of Common Stock after any person or entity has become an Interested Shareholder.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the supermajority approval requirement does
      not
      apply to any transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors prior to
      the
      time that the Interested Shareholder becomes an Interested
      Shareholder.</font></div>

      shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock authorized by the Company&#8217;s Charter
      provide the Board of Directors with as much flexibility as possible in using
      such shares for corporate purposes. However, these additional shares may also
      be
      used by the Board of Directors to deter future attempts to gain control of
      the
      Company. The Board of Directors has sole authority to determine the terms of
      any
      series of the Preferred Stock, including voting rights, conversion rates and
      liquidation preferences. As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for
      a
      series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors has the power to issue a
      series of Preferred Stock to persons friendly to management in order to attempt
      to block a post-tender offer merger or other transaction by which a third party
      seeks a change in control of the Company. </font></div>

      foregoing provisions of the Company&#8217;s Charter and Bylaws are intended to prevent
      inequitable shareholder treatment in a two-tier takeover and to reduce the
      possibility that a third party could effect a sudden or surprise change in
      majority control of the Board of Directors without the support of the incumbent
      Board of Directors, even if such a change were desired by, or would be
      beneficial to, a majority of the Company&#8217;s shareholders. Such provisions
      therefore may have the effect of discouraging certain unsolicited offers for
      the
      Company&#8217;s capital stock.</font></div>

      in
      the ordinary course of business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed
      by

      of the corporation with its subsidiaries which have the effect of increasing
      the
      percentage of voting shares beneficially owned by an Interested Stockholder
      by
      more than 5%. For purposes of the Act, an &#8220;Interested Stockholder&#8221; is defined as

      to certain exceptions discussed below, the provisions governing Affiliated
      Transactions require that, for three years following the date upon which any
      stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder, a Virginia corporation cannot
      engage in an Affiliated Transaction with such Interested Stockholder. This
      prohibition is subject to the approval of the Affiliated Transaction by the
      affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the
      corporation, other than the shares beneficially owned by the Interested
      Stockholder, and by a majority (but not less than two) of the &#8220;Disinterested
      Directors.&#8221; A Disinterested Director means, with respect to a particular
      Interested Stockholder, a member of a corporation&#8217;s board of directors who (i)
      was a member before the later of January 1, 1988 and the date on which an
      Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder and (ii) was recommended
      for election by, or was elected to fill a vacancy and received the affirmative
      vote of, a majority of the Disinterested Directors then on the board. At the
      expiration of the three-year period, these provisions require approval of
      Affiliated Transactions by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds
      of
      the voting shares of the corporation, other than those beneficially owned by
      the
      Interested Stockholder.</font></div>

      principal exceptions to the special voting requirement apply to Affiliated
      Transactions occurring after the three-year period has expired and require
      either that the transaction be approved by a majority of the Disinterested
      Directors or that the transaction satisfy certain fair price requirements of
      the
      statute. In general, the fair price requirements provide that the stockholders
      must receive the highest per share price for their shares as was paid by the
      Interested Stockholder for his shares or the fair market value of their shares,
      whichever is higher. They also require that, during the three years preceding
      the announcement of the proposed Affiliated Transaction, all required dividends
      have been paid and no special financial accommodations have been accorded the
      Interested Stockholder unless approved by a majority of the Disinterested

      of the corporation&#8217;s Disinterested Directors. These provisions were designed to
      deter certain takeovers of Virginia corporations. In addition, the statute
      provides that, by affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares other
      than
      shares owned by any Interested Stockholder, a corporation may adopt, by meeting
      certain voting requirements, an amendment to its articles of incorporation

      in Virginia to meet or exceed certain threshold percentages (20%, 33 &#8531;% or 50%)
      of the total votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors. Shares
      acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights unless: (i) the
      voting rights are granted by a majority vote of all outstanding shares other
      than those held by the acquiring person or any officer or employee director
      of
      the corporation, or (ii) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the

      5.03
Amendments
      to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
LandAmerica
      Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Company"), has amended and
      restated its Articles of Incorporation. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
      of
      the Company held on May 16, 2006, the shareholders approved two amendments
      to
      the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as described in the Company's Proxy
      Statement dated April 5, 2006 relating to the Annual Meeting (the "Proxy
      Statement"), with one amendment revising the Article pertaining to directors and
      the other amendment revising the Article pertaining to indemnification. The
      amendment to the Article pertaining to directors deletes the names of initial
      directors, many of whom are no longer affiliated with the Company, deletes
      specific year references to the classes of directors and refers to the classes
      in a generic manner, clarifies that shareholders are eligible to vote on a
      director appointed to fill a vacancy at the next annual meeting of shareholders
      and deletes the supermajority requirement applicable to any changes to the
      Article. The amendment to the Article pertaining to indemnification rewrites
      the
      article for consistency with the 2005 changes to the Virginia Stock Corporation
      Act.
Previously,
      the Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting on February 23, 2006,
      approved certain other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation not requiring
      shareholder approval. Those amendments delete the name and address of the
      Company's initial registered agent, given that the registered agent of the
      Company has since changed and is on file with the Virginia State Corporation
      Commission and delete the Company's 7% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred
      Stock designation, given that there were no shares of such preferred stock
      designation issued and outstanding.
All
      amendments were submitted to the Virginia State Corporation Commission in the
      form of Articles of Restatement and Certification of LandAmerica Financial
      Group, Inc. with the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation attached
      as
      an Exhibit on May 19, 2006 and such amendments became effective on May 22,
      2006.
      A copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of LandAmerica
      Financial Group, Inc. reflecting the amendments described above, as filed with
      the Virginia State Corporation Commission, is being filed herewith as Exhibit
      4.1 and is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
Item
      8.01.
Other
      Events.
The
      following description of the capital stock of the Company is qualified in its
      entirety by reference to applicable provisions of Virginia law and the Company's
      Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter") and its Bylaws,
      as amended and restated, the complete texts of which are filed or incorporated
      by reference as exhibits to this report.
Common
      Stock
The
      Company's authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000 shares of preferred
      stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), and 45,000,000 shares of
      common stock, without par value (the "Common Stock").
The
      holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters
      voted on by shareholders, including elections of directors, and, except as
      otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by the Board
      of
      Directors with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of such
      shares exclusively possess all voting power. The Company's Charter does not
      provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Subject to any
      preferential rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock created by
      the
      Board of Directors from time to time, the holders of Common Stock are entitled
      to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors
      from funds available therefor, and upon liquidation are entitled to receive
      pro
      rata all assets of the Company available for distribution to such
      holders.
Preferred
      Stock
Under
      the
      Company's Charter, the Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, is
      authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to
      designate, with respect to each such series of Preferred Stock, the number
      of
      shares in each such series, the dividend rates, preferences and date of
      pay-ment, voluntary and involuntary liquidation preferences, the availability
      of
      redemption and the prices at which it may occur, whether or not dividends shall
      be cumulative and, if cumulative, the date or dates from which the same shall
      be
      cumulative, the sinking fund provisions, if any, for redemption or purchase
      of
      shares, the rights, if any, and the terms and conditions on which shares can
      be
      converted into or exchanged for shares of any other class or series, and the
      voting rights, if any. Any Preferred Stock issued may be senior to the Common
      Stock as to dividends and as to distribution in the event of liquidation,
      dissolution or winding up of the Company. The ability of the Board of Directors
      to issue Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with
      possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things,
      adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock.
The
      Board
      of Directors has authorized and reserved 200,000 shares of Series A Junior
      Participating Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Series A Preferred
      Stock"), for issuance upon the exercise of the preferred share purchase rights
      (the "Rights") described below. See "Preferred Share Purchase Rights." The
      creation and issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, and the relative
      rights and preferences of such series, if and when established, will depend
      upon, among other things, the future capital needs of the Company, then-existing
      market conditions and other factors that, in the judgment of the Board of
      Directors, might warrant the issuance of Preferred Stock.
Preemptive
      Rights
No
      holder
      of any share of Common Stock or Preferred Stock has any preemptive right to
      subscribe to any securities of the Company of any kind or class.
Preferred
      Share Purchase Rights
Each
      outstanding share of Common Stock (a "Common Share") has associated with it one
      Right. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company
      one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (a "Series A Preferred
      Share") at a price of $85 (the "Purchase Price") per one one-hundredth of a
      Series A Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The terms of the Rights are
      set
      forth in the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated August 20, 1997 (the
      "Amended and Restated Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Wachovia Bank,
      N.A., as Rights Agent ("Wachovia"), as amended by the First Amendment to Amended
      and Restated Rights Agreement, dated December 11, 1997, between the Company
      and
      Wachovia (the "First Amendment"), and the Second Amendment to Amended and
      Restated Rights Agreement, dated June 1, 1999, between the Company, Wachovia
      and
      State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor Rights Agent ("State Street")
      (the "Second Amendment"), and the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Rights
      Agreement, dated July 26, 2000, between the Company and State Street (the "Third
      Amendment" and, together with the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the
      First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the "Rights Agreement").
The
      Rights will be evidenced by Common Share certificates until the earlier to
      occur
      of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of
      affiliated or associated persons have acquired beneficial ownership of 20%
      or
      more of the outstanding Common Shares (an "Acquiring Person") or (ii) 10
      business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board
      of
      Directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated or associated
      persons becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or
      announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the
      consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person
      or
      group of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such
      dates
      being called the "Distribution Date").
The
      Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date (or earlier
      redemption or expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be transferable with
      and only with the Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier
      redemption or expiration of the Rights), new Common Share certificates issued
      after August 20, 1997 upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will
      contain a legend incorporating by reference the terms of the Rights Agreement
      (as such may be amended from time to time). Notwithstanding the absence of
      the
      aforementioned legend or the existence of an earlier form of legend,
      certificates evidencing Common Shares outstanding on or prior to August 20,
      1997
      shall also evidence one Right for each Common Share evidenced thereby. Until
      the
      Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the
      surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding as
      of
      August 20, 1997, even without such legend, will also constitute the transfer
      of
      the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate.
      As
      soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates
      evidencing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record
      of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and
      such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.
The
      Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire
      on August 20, 2007 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final Expiration
      Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by
      the
      Company, in each case, as described below.
The
      Purchase Price payable, and the number of Series A Preferred Shares or other
      securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to
      adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock
      dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Series
      A
      Preferred Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Series A Preferred
      Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Series A
      Preferred Shares at a price, or securities convertible into Series A Preferred
      Shares with a conversion price, less than the then-current market price of
      the
      Series A Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the
      Series A Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding
      regular periodic cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings or
      dividends payable in Series A Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or
      warrants (other than those referred to above).
The
      number of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-hundredths of a Series
      A
      Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to
      adjustment in the event of a stock split of the Common Shares or a stock
      dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or subdivisions,
      consolidations or combinations of the Common Shares occurring, in any such
      case,
      prior to the Distribution Date.
Series
      A
      Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable.
      Each Series A Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential
      quarterly dividend payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate
      dividend equal to 100 times the dividend declared per Common Share. In the
      event
      of liquidation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled
      to
      a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share but will be
      entitled to an aggregate payment equal to 100 times the payment made per Common
      Share. Each Series A Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with
      the Common Shares. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other
      transaction in which Common Shares are exchanged, each Series A Preferred Share
      will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 100 times the amount received
      per
      Common Share. These rights are protected by customary antidilution
      provisions.
Because
      of the nature of the Series A Preferred Shares' dividend, liquidation and voting
      rights, the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a Series A Preferred
      Share purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value
      of
      one Common Share.
In
      the
      event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination
      transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are
      sold
      after a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall
      be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to
      receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the
      Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company that
      at
      the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise
      price of the Right.
In
      the
      event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes
      an
      Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right,
      other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will
      thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the
      exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number
      of
      Common Shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the
      Right.
At
      any
      time after any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes
      an
      Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50%
      or
      more of the outstanding Common Shares, the Board of Directors of the Company
      may
      exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group, that
      will
      have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common
      Share, or one one-hundredth of a Series A Preferred Share, per Right (subject
      to
      adjustment).
With
      certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until
      cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase
      Price. No fractional Series A Preferred Shares will be issued (other than
      fractions that are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a Series A
      Preferred Share, which may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by
      depository receipts), and in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be made
      based on the market price of the Series A Preferred Shares on the last trading
      day prior to the date of exercise.
At
      any
      time prior to the time that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
      the
      Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in
      part, at a price of $.01 per Right (the "Redemption Price"). The redemption of
      the Rights may be made effective at such time on such basis and with such
      conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish.
      Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights
      will terminate, and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive
      the Redemption Price.
The
      terms
      of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company without
      the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and after such time
      as any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring
      Person, the Rights Agreement provides that no such amendment may adversely
      affect the interests of the holders of the Rights.
Until
      a
      Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a
      shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote
      or
      to receive dividends.
The
      foregoing summary of certain terms of the Rights is qualified in its entirety
      by
      reference to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the First Amendment,
      the
      Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, copies of which have been filed with
      the Commission.
Certain
      Provisions of the Company's Charter and Bylaws
The
      Company's Charter and Bylaws contain provisions which may have the effect of
      delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company's Charter
      and Bylaws provide: (i) for division of the Board of Directors into three
      classes, with one class elected each year to serve a three-year term; (ii)
      that
      directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote
      of
      the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; and
      (iii) that a vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by the remaining
      directors. In addition, the Charter provides that the holders of capital stock
      of the Company may alter, amend or repeal provisions of the Bylaws only upon
      the
      affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares
      entitled to vote on the matter. The Company's Bylaws require advance
      notification for a shareholder to bring business before a shareholders' meeting
      or to nominate a person for election as a director. The Company's Charter and
      Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred
      Stock, special meetings of shareholders may be called only by the Chairman
      of
      the Board or a majority of the total number of directors which the Board of
      Directors would have if there were no vacancies, and may not be called by the
      shareholders. The business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting
      of
      shareholders is limited to the business brought before the meeting by or at
      the
      direction of the Board of Directors.
The
      Company's Charter also contains an "affiliated transaction provision" that
      provides that, in the event that holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote
      on
      certain transactions, a supermajority of at least 80% of all the votes that
      the
      holders of Common Stock are entitled to cast thereon shall be required for
      the
      approval of such transactions. Such supermajority approval would be required
      for
      (i) a merger or consolidation involving any person or entity who directly or
      indirectly owns or controls 10% or more of the voting power of the Company
      (an
"Interested Shareholder") at the record date for determining shareholders
      entitled to vote and (ii) a sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of
      the
      Company's assets or property to or with an Interested Shareholder, or for the
      approval of a sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of the assets or
      property of an Interested Shareholder to or with the Company. In addition,
      the
      Company's Charter provides that the same 80% vote shall be required for the
      approval of certain transactions including a reclassification of securities,
      recapitalization or other transaction designed to decrease the number of holders
      of Common Stock after any person or entity has become an Interested Shareholder.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the supermajority approval requirement does
      not
      apply to any transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors prior to
      the
      time that the Interested Shareholder becomes an Interested
      Shareholder.
The
      shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock authorized by the Company's Charter
      provide the Board of Directors with as much flexibility as possible in using
      such shares for corporate purposes. However, these additional shares may also
      be
      used by the Board of Directors to deter future attempts to gain control of
      the
      Company. The Board of Directors has sole authority to determine the terms of
      any
      series of the Preferred Stock, including voting rights, conversion rates and
      liquidation preferences. As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for
      a
      series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors has the power to issue a
      series of Preferred Stock to persons friendly to management in order to attempt
      to block a post-tender offer merger or other transaction by which a third party
      seeks a change in control of the Company.
The
      foregoing provisions of the Company's Charter and Bylaws are intended to prevent
      inequitable shareholder treatment in a two-tier takeover and to reduce the
      possibility that a third party could effect a sudden or surprise change in
      majority control of the Board of Directors without the support of the incumbent
      Board of Directors, even if such a change were desired by, or would be
      beneficial to, a majority of the Company's shareholders. Such provisions
      therefore may have the effect of discouraging certain unsolicited offers for
      the
      Company's capital stock.
Affiliated
      Transactions
Article
      14 of Chapter 9 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia contains provisions
      governing "Affiliated Transactions." Affiliated Transactions include certain
      mergers and share exchanges, material dispositions of corporate assets not
      in
      the ordinary course of business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed
      by
      or on behalf of an "Interested Stockholder" (as defined below), or
      reclassifications, including reverse stock splits, recapitalizations or mergers
      of the corporation with its subsidiaries which have the effect of increasing
      the
      percentage of voting shares beneficially owned by an Interested Stockholder
      by
      more than 5%. For purposes of the Act, an "Interested Stockholder" is defined as
      any beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of the voting securities
      of a
      Virginia corporation.
Subject
      to certain exceptions discussed below, the provisions governing Affiliated
      Transactions require that, for three years following the date upon which any
      stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder, a Virginia corporation cannot
      engage in an Affiliated Transaction with such Interested Stockholder. This
      prohibition is subject to the approval of the Affiliated Transaction by the
      affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the
      corporation, other than the shares beneficially owned by the Interested
      Stockholder, and by a majority (but not less than two) of the "Disinterested
      Directors." A Disinterested Director means, with respect to a particular
      Interested Stockholder, a member of a corporation's board of directors who (i)
      was a member before the later of January 1, 1988 and the date on which an
      Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder and (ii) was recommended
      for election by, or was elected to fill a vacancy and received the affirmative
      vote of, a majority of the Disinterested Directors then on the board. At the
      expiration of the three-year period, these provisions require approval of
      Affiliated Transactions by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds
      of
      the voting shares of the corporation, other than those beneficially owned by
      the
      Interested Stockholder.
The
      principal exceptions to the special voting requirement apply to Affiliated
      Transactions occurring after the three-year period has expired and require
      either that the transaction be approved by a majority of the Disinterested
      Directors or that the transaction satisfy certain fair price requirements of
      the
      statute. In general, the fair price requirements provide that the stockholders
      must receive the highest per share price for their shares as was paid by the
      Interested Stockholder for his shares or the fair market value of their shares,
      whichever is higher. They also require that, during the three years preceding
      the announcement of the proposed Affiliated Transaction, all required dividends
      have been paid and no special financial accommodations have been accorded the
      Interested Stockholder unless approved by a majority of the Disinterested
      Directors.
None
      of
      the foregoing limitations and special voting requirements applies to an
      Affiliated Transaction with an Interested Stockholder whose acquisition of
      shares making such person an Interested Stockholder was approved by a majority
      of the corporation's Disinterested Directors. These provisions were designed to
      deter certain takeovers of Virginia corporations. In addition, the statute
      provides that, by affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares other
      than
      shares owned by any Interested Stockholder, a corporation may adopt, by meeting
      certain voting requirements, an amendment to its articles of incorporation
      or
      bylaws providing that the Affiliated Transactions provisions shall not apply
      to
      the corporation. The Company has not adopted such an amendment.
Control
      Share Acquisitions
The
      Virginia Stock Corporation Act also contains provisions regulating certain
      "control share acquisitions," which are transactions causing the voting strength
      of any person acquiring beneficial ownership of shares of a public corporation
      in Virginia to meet or exceed certain threshold percentages (20%, 33 ⅓% or 50%)
      of the total votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors. Shares
      acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights unless: (i) the
      voting rights are granted by a majority vote of all outstanding shares other
      than those held by the acquiring person or any officer or employee director
      of
      the corporation, or (ii) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
      corporation provide that these Virginia law provisions do not apply to
      acquisitions of its shares. The acquiring person may require that a special
      meeting of the stockholders be held to consider the grant of voting rights
      to
      the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. The Company's Charter
      makes these provisions inapplicable to acquisitions of its shares.
