The annual meeting of the stockholders of Old Point Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business authorized or required to be transacted by the stockholders shall be held in Hampton, Virginia, at the main office of The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus, or at any other location within or outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia authorized by the Board of Directors, on the fourth Tuesday in May of each year (or on such other day and/or in such other month as may be fixed by the Board of Directors), at such hour as may be specified in the notice thereof.

Section 1.2          Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President if there is no Chairman of the Board, or by the Board of Directors or by the holders of not less than 25% of all of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.3          Notice of Meetings. Notice of the annual or any special meeting shall be given at least ten days, and not more than 60 days, prior to the date of the meeting to each registered stockholder at his address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. If the meeting shall be called to act on an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or on a plan of merger, consolidation or exchange, or on a reduction of stated capital, or upon a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, notice shall be given not less than 25 nor more than 60days before the date of the meeting, and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed amendment or plan of merger, consolidation, or exchange, or the proposed plan for reduction of capital.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation, under any provision of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the "VSCA"), the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting when such notice is directed to the record address of the stockholder or to such other address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, upon the later of such posting or the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when consented to by the stockholder.

Section 1.4          Business Conducted at Meetings.

(a)          To be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, any business (other than director nominations, which is addressed in Section 1.4(b)) 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 stockholder (A) who is a stockholder 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 1.4(a) and at the time 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 1.4(a).

For business to be considered properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must, in addition to any other applicable requirements, have given timely notice of such stockholder's intent to bring such proposed business before such meeting and any such business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be in proper written form and must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 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 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by such stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth 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 stockholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

To be in proper form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth the matters referenced in Section 1.4(c).

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Section 1.4(a) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder 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 stockholders at any annual meeting. The chairman 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 1.4(a), and if he should so determine, he 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 stockholders, nominations for the election of directors must be (i) specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement 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 stockholder of the Corporation (A) who is a stockholder 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 1.4(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 1.4(b).

To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be in proper written form and must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 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 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by such stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth 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 stockholders, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

Notwithstanding anything contrary in the previous paragraph, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholders' notice required by this Section 1.4(b) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(c)          To be in proper form for purposes of Section 1.4, a stockholder's notice to the 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 stockholder of record or nominee holder that is directed to prepare and submit the stockholder's notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board, or (ii) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 1.4 is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.4.

When shares are represented by certificates, the Corporation shall issue such certificates, in such form as shall be required by the VSCA and as determined by the Board, to every stockholder for the fully paid shares owned by such stockholder. Each certificate shall be signed by, or shall bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President and the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation and may (but need not) bear the corporate seal of the Corporation or its facsimile. All certificates for the Corporation's shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified.

The name and address of the person to whom shares (whether or not represented by a certificate) are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the share transfer books of the Corporation. Such information may be stored or retained on discs, tapes, cards or any other approved storage device relating to data processing equipment; provided that such device is capable of reproducing all information contained therein in legible and understandable form, for inspection by stockholders or for any other corporate purpose.

When shares are not represented by certificates, then within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares, the Corporation shall send the stockholder to whom such shares have been issued or transferred a written statement of the information required by the VSCA to be included on certificates.

Section 6.2          Stock Transfer Books and Transfer of Shares. The Corporation, or its designated transfer agent or other agent, shall keep a book or set of books to be known as the stock transfer books of the Corporation, containing the name of each stockholder of record, together with such stockholder's address and the number and class or series of shares held by such stockholder. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable on the stock transfer books of the Corporation by the holder in person or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or the transfer agent, but, except as hereinafter provided in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of certificates, no transfer of stock shall be entered until the previous certificate, if any, given for the same shall have been surrendered and canceled. Transfer of shares of the Corporation represented by certificates shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Corporation only upon surrender of the certificates for the shares sought to be transferred by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's duly authorized agent, transferee or legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer with the Secretary of the Corporation or its designated transfer agent or other agent. All certificates surrendered for transfer shall be canceled before new certificates (or uncertificated shares) for the transferred shares shall be issued. Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the holder of record of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the stockholder entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, no transfer of shares shall be valid as against the Corporation, its stockholders or creditors, for any purpose, until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.

Section 6.3          Holder of Record. Except as otherwise required by the VSCA, the Corporation may treat the person in whose name shares of stock of the Corporation (whether or not represented by a certificate) stand of record on its books or the books of any transfer agent or other agent designated by the Board as the absolute owner of the shares and the person exclusively entitled to receive notification and distributions, to vote, and to otherwise exercise the rights, powers and privileges of ownership of such shares.

Section 6.4          Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of stockholders, is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders 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 stockholders. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board 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.

Section 6.5          Lost, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. In case of loss, destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another certificate (or uncertificated shares) may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, destruction or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided that a new certificate (or uncertificated shares) may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

Section 6.6          Transfer Agent and Registrar; Regulations. The Corporation may, if and whenever the Board so determines, maintain in the Commonwealth of Virginia or any other state of the United States, one or more transfer offices or agencies and also one or more registry offices which offices and agencies may establish rules and regulations for the issue, transfer and registration of certificates. No certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation in respect of which a transfer agent and registrar shall have been designated shall be valid unless countersigned by such transfer agent and registered by such registrar. The Board may also make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares represented by certificates and shares without certificates.
