1. Terminology; Conformity; Conflicts. All terms not defined in this Agreement
have the meanings given in, first, the Plan, and if not defined in the Plan,
second, in the LTIP. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,
in the event of a conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between or among any
provision, term or condition of this Agreement, the LTIP, or the Plan, the
provisions of, first, the Plan, second, the LTIP, and lastly, this Agreement,
will control in that order of priority, except in the case of Section 12 of this
Agreement which will control in all cases.

2. Terms and Conditions of this Award. The following terms and conditions will
apply:

(a) Vesting. All of the Award Shares are nonvested, nontransferable and
forfeitable as of the Grant Date. The Award Shares will vest and become
transferable and no longer subject to risk of forfeiture as to 100% of the Award
Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

(b) Acceleration of Vesting. All outstanding Award Shares will become fully
vested, transferable and nonforfeitable upon the earliest of:

 

  i. the occurrence of a Change in Control (such vesting will be deemed to occur
immediately before such Change in Control),

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ii. your death, or

 

  iii. your Disability.

(c) Termination Date. All Award Shares that are unvested as of your Termination
Date, subject to the acceleration of vesting provisions herein, shall be
forfeited to the Company for no consideration on such Termination Date.

3. Restrictions on Transfer. You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or dispose of in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) any unvested Award Shares, and unvested Award Shares may not be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process. The Company will not be
required to recognize on its books any action taken in contravention of these
restrictions.

4. Stock Certificates.

(a) Unvested Shares. You are reflected as the owner of record of the Award
Shares on the Company’s books. The Company will hold the share certificates for
safekeeping, or otherwise retain the Award Shares in uncertificated book entry
form, until the Award Shares become vested and nonforfeitable, and any share
certificates (or electronic delivery) representing such unvested shares will
include a legend to the effect that you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
or hypothecate the Award Shares. You must deliver to the Company, as soon as
practicable after the Grant Date, a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect
to the Award Shares. If you forfeit any Award Shares, the stock power will be
used to return the certificates for the forfeited Award Shares to the Company’s
transfer agent for cancellation.

(b) Vested Shares. As soon as practicable after the Award Shares vest, the
Company will deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver shares
electronically or in certificate form to your designated broker on your behalf.
If you are deceased at the time that a delivery of share certificates is to be
made, the certificates will be delivered to your executor, administrator, or
personal representative.

(c) Legends. Any share certificates delivered or Award Shares delivered
electronically will, unless the Award Shares are registered and such
registration is in effect, or an exemption from registration is available, under
applicable federal and state law, bear a legend (or electronic notation)
restricting transferability of such Award Shares.

(d) Postponement of Delivery. The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery
of any Award Shares for so long as the Company determines to be necessary or
advisable to satisfy the following:

 

  i. the completion or amendment of any registration of the Award Shares or
satisfaction of any exemption from registration under any securities law, rule,
or regulation; and

 

  ii. compliance with any requests for representations.

5. Taxation.

(a) Tax Withholding. Since you are not an employee of the Company or any
Affiliate, the Company is not required to, and the Company will not, deduct from
any compensation or any other payment of any kind due you the amount of any
federal, state, local or foreign taxes required to

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be paid by you as a result of the grant or vesting of the Award Shares in whole
or in part. You expressly acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the
payment of any such federal, state, local or foreign taxes, and you may not rely
on the Company for any assistance with regard to withholding or paying such
taxes.

(b) Tax Election. You are advised to seek independent tax advice from your own
advisors regarding the availability and advisability of making an election under
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any such
election, if made, must be made within 30 days of the Grant Date. You expressly
acknowledge that you are solely responsible for filing any such Section 83(b)
election with the appropriate governmental authorities, irrespective of the fact
that such election is also delivered to the Company. You may not rely on the
Company or any of its respective officers, directors or employees for tax or
legal advice regarding this Award. You acknowledge that you have sought tax and
legal advice from your own advisors regarding this Award or have voluntarily and
knowingly foregone such consultation.

6. Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

(a) Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. Upon a stock dividend
of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, the
number of Restricted Stock Units hereunder shall be adjusted as provided under
the Director Compensation Plan.

(b) Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
will apply with equal force to any additional and/or substitute rights to
receive securities received by you in exchange for, or by virtue of your
ownership of, the Award Shares, whether as a result of any spin-off, stock
split-up, stock dividend, stock distribution, other reclassification of the
Common Stock of the Company, or other similar event. If the Award Shares are
converted into or exchanged for, or stockholders of the Company receive by
reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation or pursuant to any
merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, rights to receive securities
of another entity, or other property (including cash), then the rights of the
Company under this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Company’s
successor, and this Agreement will apply to the rights to receive securities or
other property received upon such conversion, exchange or distribution in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Award Shares.

7. Non-Guarantee of Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan, the LTIP or this
Agreement alters your service relationship with the Company or shall constitute
or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the
Company will retain you as a member of the Board of Directors for any period of
time. This Agreement is not to be construed as a contract of service
relationship between the Company and you. This Agreement does not limit in any
way the possibility of your removal from the Board of Directors in accordance
with the By-Law provisions in effect at the relevant time, whether or not such
removal results in the forfeiture of any Award Shares or any other adverse
effect on your interests under the Plan.

8. Rights as Stockholder. As the owner of record of Award Shares, you are
entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to
vote the Award Shares and the right to receive cash dividends or other
distributions declared or paid with respect to nonvested and forfeitable Award
Shares, but excluding the right to freely transfer the Award Shares until they
become vested. All cash dividends and any other distributions paid with respect
to nonvested Award Shares will be paid directly to you on the applicable
dividend payment dates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Award Shares does not affect in
any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or
authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, including that of
its subsidiaries, or any merger or consolidation of the Company or any
Affiliate, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with
preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock
or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's or any
Affiliate’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, inclusive of the Plan and the LTIP
incorporated into this Agreement, contains the entire agreement between you and
the Company with respect to the Award Shares. Any and all existing oral or
written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement by any person with
respect to the Award or the Award Shares are superseded by this Agreement and
are void and ineffective for all purposes.

11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee
in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in
a manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Award Shares as
determined in the discretion of the Committee, except as provided in the Plan,
the LTIP or in any other written document signed by you and the Company.

12. Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, and
of any determinations or decisions made by the Committee relating to this
Agreement, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any
interest under this Agreement, will be determined exclusively in accordance with
the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its provisions concerning
the applicability of laws of other jurisdictions. Any suit with respect to the
Award or the Award Shares will be brought in the federal or state courts in the
districts which include Baltimore, Maryland, and you agree and submit to the
personal jurisdiction and venue thereof.

13. Headings; Interpretation. Section headings are used in this Agreement for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of this Agreement. Whenever the context requires, all words under in the
singular shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa. Words of the
masculine gender shall be deemed to include the correlative words of the
feminine gender. The word “you” or “your” means the recipient of the Restricted
Stock Units as reflected in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Whenever the
word “you” or “your” is used in any provision of this Agreement under
circumstances where the provision should logically be construed, as determined
by the Committee, to apply to the estate, personal representative, or
beneficiary to whom the Restricted Stock Units may be transferred by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, the words “you” and “your” will be deemed
to include such person.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including
electronic signatures or facsimile copies), each of which will be deemed an
original, but all of which together will constitute the same instrument.
