Notice given pursuant to this Section 5 shall be deemed given at the time specified in the VSCA for the particular form of notice used.
Section 6. Quorum; Adjournments. A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by a voting group on a matter shall constitute a quorum of the voting group for action on that matter at any meeting of the shareholders, except as otherwise provided by the VSCA, the Articles of Incorporation as in effect at the time (the “Articles”) or these Bylaws. The Chairman of the Board or any officer of the Corporation acting as chairman of the meeting shall have power to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the shareholders from time to time (i) because of the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, or (ii) for any other reason, in any such case without notice other than announcement at the meeting before adjournment or postponement (except as otherwise provided by statute). At such adjourned or postponed meeting any business may be transacted that could have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 7. Voting. At any meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder of a class entitled to vote on one or more of the matters coming before the meeting shall have one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of stock of such class standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation on any date fixed by the Board of Directors not more than seventy (70) days prior to the meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the VSCA, the Articles or these Bylaws, any proposed action, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if a quorum of the voting group exists and the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action. Appointment of a proxy may be accomplished by the shareholder or such shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact or authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing an appointment form authorizing another person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy or causing such shareholder’s signature to be affixed to such appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

If it is determined that such transmissions are valid, the inspectors shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 8 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.
