ELIGIBILITY

3.1. Eligibility. Each Non-Employee Director who is selected by the Committee
shall be eligible to become a Participant by submitting a Deferral Agreement in
accordance with Section 3.2. An eligible Director shall remain eligible to
submit a Deferral Agreement until such time as the Committee affirmatively
revokes such Director’s eligibility. Eligible Directors, whether their
eligibility has been revoked or not, shall remain Participants in the Plan until
such time as all benefits payable under the Plan have been paid in accordance
with the provisions hereof or the Plan has been terminated in accordance with
Article X.

 

- 3 -

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

3.2. Participation and Deferral Agreements. To become a Participant and receive
credit for Fee Deferrals and Share Grant Deferrals in such Participant’s
Account, an eligible Non-Employee Director must deliver an executed Deferral
Agreement in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee and in accordance
with the restrictions described in this Section 3.2. A Director may separately
elect to defer Share Grants and Fees.

(a) Newly Eligible Directors. Each Director who first becomes eligible to
participate in the Plan after January 1 of a Plan Year may elect to participate
in the Plan by delivering an executed Deferral Agreement to the Committee within
thirty (30) days after the Committee notifies the Director of his or her
eligibility to participate. Such Deferral Agreement shall be effective with
regard to the Fees earned and Share Grants that are to be granted for periods
beginning on the effective date of such Director’s Deferral Agreement.

(b) Previously Eligible Directors. Except as provided in Section 3.2(a) above,
an eligible Director may make a deferral election with respect to a Plan Year by
delivering an executed Deferral Agreement to the Committee on or before
December 31 of the year immediately preceding the Plan Year to which such
deferral election is to apply.

(c) Subsequent Elections. A Participant’s executed Deferral Agreement with
respect to Fee Deferrals and Share Grant Deferrals shall be effective only with
respect to the specific Plan Year to which such Deferral Agreement applies and
shall not be effective for any subsequent Plan Year.

ARTICLE IV

CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1. Fee Deferrals.

(a) Pursuant to the Deferral Agreement, a Participant may defer the receipt of
all or any portion of Fees payable by the Company to the Participant for
services to be performed during a Plan Year. The Participant’s executed Deferral
Agreement, delivered to the Committee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2, shall set forth an exact whole dollar amount or a whole percentage
of Fees to be deferred. A Fee Deferral election with respect to any Plan Year is
irrevocable once the applicable executed Deferral Agreement is delivered to the
Committee. A Fee Deferral election shall be automatically revoked in the event
the Director is permitted to take a distribution due to financial hardship. Such
a Director shall not be eligible to make a new Fee Deferral election under the
Plan.

(b) The amount of any Fees deferred with respect to any Plan Year shall reduce
the amount of such Fees otherwise payable to the Participant as of the date such
payment otherwise would have been made, and the amount of such reduction shall
be allocated to the Participant’s Account effective as of the date the
applicable Fees would otherwise have been payable.

 

- 4 -

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

(c) In determining the percentage amount of any Fee Deferral, the Participant’s
full Fee shall be considered without regard to any deferrals made under the
Plan. In no event shall a Participant be permitted to make Fee Deferrals that
exceed 100% of his or her Fees.

4.2. Share Grant Deferrals.

(a) A Participant may separately elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion
of Share Grants under the Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan. The Participant’s
executed Deferral Agreement, delivered to the Committee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.2, shall set forth a whole number of Shares or
percentage of the Share Grant to be deferred. A Share Grant Deferral election
with respect to a Plan Year is irrevocable once the applicable executed Deferral
Agreement is delivered to the Committee. A Share Grant Deferral election shall
be automatically revoked in the event the Director is permitted to take a
distribution due to financial hardship. Such a Director shall not be eligible to
make a new Share Grant Deferral election under the Plan.

(b) The amount of any Share Grants deferred with respect to any Plan Year shall
reduce the amount of such Share Grants otherwise due to the Participant as of
the date such Share Grants otherwise would have been made, and the amount of
such reduction shall be allocated to the Participant’s Account effective as of
the date the applicable Share Grant would otherwise have been made.

(c) A Common Share shall be credited as a DCS to the Participant’s Account.

4.3. Automatic Share Distribution Deferral.

(a) If a Participant elects to defer the receipt of any Share Grants in
accordance with Section 4.2, such Participant automatically shall be deemed to
have elected to defer the receipt of each Share Distribution payable with
respect to the underlying Share Grant deferred hereunder.

(b) Any Share Distribution deferred in accordance with this shall be credited to
a Participant’s Account in the same manner as Fee Deferrals.

ARTICLE V

DETERMINATION OF ACCOUNTS

5.1. Account Establishment. The Committee shall establish an Account on behalf
of each Participant. The establishment of an Account shall not require
segregation of any funds of the Company or provide any Participant with any
rights to any assets of the Company, except as a general creditor thereof. A
Participant shall have no right to receive payment of any amount credited to the
Participant’s Account except as expressly provided in Article VI of this Plan.

 

- 5 -

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

5.2. Deferrals. Each Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date shall
consist of Fee Deferrals and DCSs credited to the Participant’s Account. Each
Account shall consist of such subaccounts as the Committee deems necessary or
desirable to determine the amounts payable by Tranche if different distribution
elections apply with respect to such Tranches.

5.3. Earnings on Fee Deferrals and Share Distributions. The Fee Deferrals and
Share Distributions portion of a Participant’s Account shall be credited with
earnings quarterly, as if the balance of that portion of such Participant’s
Account which represents Fee Deferrals and Share Distributions as of the first
day of such quarter on the first day of each quarter has been invested at a rate
equal to the prime rate as correctly published in the Wall Street Journal on the
last business day of the immediately preceding quarter.

5.4. Adjustments. In the event of any distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, split,
reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off
combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, or other similar transaction or event affecting the
Common Stock, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable,
in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Directors’ Stock Compensation
Plan, adjust any or all of (i) the amount and type of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) with respect to which Share Grants may be granted, and
(ii) the amount and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property)
subject to outstanding Share Grants; provided, that the amount of Common Stock
subject to any Share Grant shall always be a whole number.

ARTICLE VI

VESTING

6.1. Fee Deferrals. A Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at
all times in the amounts of Fees elected to be deferred under the Plan and
earnings credited thereon.

6.2. DCSs. A Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times
in the DCSs credited to the Participant’s Account.

6.3. Share Distributions. Share Distributions paid with respect to any Share
underlying a DCS will be 100% vested at all times.

ARTICLE VII

DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1. Normal Distribution Date. Unless the Participant has elected another
available distribution date in his or her executed Deferral Agreement or the
Participant dies prior to such date, the vested portion of a Participant’s
Account shall be distributed to the Participant on the Participant’s Normal
Distribution Date.

 

- 6 -

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

7.2. Alternative Distribution Election. For each Plan Year, a Participant may
elect to receive benefit distributions under the Plan on a date selected in the
Participant’s Deferral Agreement for the applicable Plan Year. In no event shall
the date selected be earlier than the first day of the calendar year beginning
after the third anniversary of the filing of the applicable Deferral Agreement
under Section 3.2. With respect to Grandfathered Amounts, a Participant may file
an amendment to defer further the receipt of a Tranche (and earnings credited
thereon) (or a portion of the Tranche) under this paragraph only three times,
and each amendment must (a) provide for a payout under this Section at a date at
least twenty-four (24) months after the payout date under the election in force
for such Tranche immediately prior to the filing of such an amendment, and
(b) be filed with the Committee by December 15 of the calendar year prior to the
calendar year in which payment was to commence under the election then in force.
With respect to non-Grandfathered Amounts, a Participant may file an amendment
to defer further the receipt of a Tranche (and earnings credited thereon) (or a
portion of the Tranche) under this paragraph only three times, and each
amendment (a) must provide for a payout under this Section at a date at least
sixty (60) months after the payout date under the election in force for such
Tranche immediately prior to the filing of such an amendment, (b) must be filed
with the Committee at least twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the
first scheduled payment was to occur under the election then in force and
(c) may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on
which the election is made. Any such election change with respect to
non-Grandfathered Amounts shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder and no subsequent
election may result in an impermissible acceleration of payment as described in
section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

7.3. Hardship Withdrawals. The Committee shall establish procedures under which
a Participant may request a withdrawal of some or all of the Participant’s
Account in the event of an unforeseeable severe financial emergency. In general,
an unforeseeable severe financial emergency would include circumstances
resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or
of the Participant’s spouse or dependent, uninsured loss of the Participant’s
property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the
Participant and for which the resulting financial hardship cannot be reasonably
relieved through other sources of funds or by cessation of deferrals under this
Plan. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine
whether any such financial emergency warrants a withdrawal from the
Participant’s Account and shall determine the amount of such withdrawal so as to
limit the withdrawal to that amount (including a reasonable amount for taxes)
that is required to satisfy the emergency need. The Committee shall administer
hardship withdrawals of non-Grandfathered Amounts in accordance with the
provisions of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code.

7.4. Death Benefits. Notwithstanding Sections 7.1 and 7.2, upon the death of a
Participant, the Company shall pay to the Participant’s Beneficiary the vested
portion of the Participant’s Account within ninety (90) days following the date
of the Participant’s death.

7.5. Form of Payment.

(a) Fee Deferrals and Share Distributions. Fee Deferrals, Share Distributions
and earnings credited thereon shall be paid in a cash lump sum.

 

- 7 -

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

(b) Share Grant Deferrals. Share Grant Deferrals shall be paid in Shares from
the Share reserve under the Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan.

7.6. Special 409A Transition Election. In accordance with procedures and in a
form established by the Committee, to the extent permitted under section 409A of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, a Participant may make a
one-time special election to change the date of distribution with respect to all
or a portion of his Account attributable to non-Grandfathered Amounts on or
before December 31, 2007 on such terms as shall be determined by the Committee;
provided, however, that such one-time special election may not postpone a
distribution that otherwise would be made in 2007 and may not accelerate a
distribution otherwise scheduled for a later year into 2007.

ARTICLE VIII

NO FUNDING

The obligations of the Company to distribute benefits under this Plan shall be
interpreted solely as an unfunded, contractual obligation to distribute only
those amounts credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Article V in the
manner and under the conditions prescribed in Articles VI and VII. Any assets
set aside, including any assets transferred to a grantor trust or purchased by
the Company with respect to amounts payable under the Plan, shall be subject to
the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and no person other than the
Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan, have any interest in
such assets. All amounts deferred pursuant to this Plan may, in the Committee’s
discretion, be transferred to an irrevocable grantor trust as soon as
practicable after such amounts are allocated to a Participant’s Account pursuant
to Article IV.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATION

9.1. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have authority to act to the full extent of its absolute
discretion to:

(a) interpret the Plan;

(b) resolve and determine all disputes, questions or claims arising under the
Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Participants and
Beneficiaries, and their respective benefits, and to remedy any ambiguities,
inconsistencies or omissions in the Plan;

(c) create and revise rules and procedures for the administration of the Plan
and prescribe such forms as may be required for Participants to make elections
under, and otherwise participate in, the Plan; and

(d) take any other actions and make any other determinations as it may deem
necessary and proper for the administration of the Plan.

 

- 8 -

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

Any expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the
Company.

9.2. Administrative Review. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, all
decisions and determinations by the Committee shall be final and binding upon
all Participants and Beneficiaries.

9.3. General. No member of the Committee shall participate in any matter
involving any questions or decisions relating solely to his or her own
participation or benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall be entitled to
rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action or omission
taken by it in good faith reliance upon the advice or opinion of any persons,
firms or agents retained by it, including but not limited to accountants,
actuaries, counsel and other specialists. Nothing in this Plan shall preclude
the Company from indemnifying the members of the Committee for all actions under
this Plan, or from purchasing liability insurance to protect such persons with
respect to the Plan.

ARTICLE X

AMENDMENT, DISCONTINUANCE AND TERMINATION

Except as required by the rules of the principal securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is traded, the Board or the Committee shall have the right to
amend, modify, discontinue or terminate the Plan in any manner; provided,
however, that no amendment, modification, discontinuance or termination shall
adversely affect the rights of Participants to amounts credited to the Accounts
maintained on their behalf before such amendment, modification, discontinuance
or termination without the Participant’s consent. In the case of termination of
the Plan, any amounts credited to the Account of a Participant may, in the sole
discretion of the Committee, be distributed in full to such Participant as soon
as reasonably practicable following such termination; provided that any such
distribution shall be made in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1. No Rights to Board Membership. Nothing in the Plan shall confer on any
Director any right to continue as a member of the Board of the Company or its
subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, its
subsidiaries and each of their equity holders to remove or not re-elect an
individual from or to the Board.

11.2. Rights of Participants to Benefits. All rights of a Participant under the
Plan to amounts credited to the Participant’s Account are mere unsecured
contractual rights of the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) against the
Company.

11.3. No Assignment. No amounts credited to Accounts nor any rights or benefits
under the Plan shall be subject in any way to voluntary or involuntary
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment,
execution, or encumbrance, and any attempt to accomplish the same shall be void.

 

- 9 -

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

11.4. Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
distribution made hereunder any taxes required by law to be withheld from a
Participant with respect to such payment, and, shall have the right, in
accordance with this Section and Section 11(c) of the Directors’ Stock
Compensation Plan, to require that a portion of a Participant’s Account
distribution (in cash, Common Stock or other property) be payable as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations
for the payment of such taxes.

Participant shall receive a statement indicating the amounts (and earnings

Account.

the context shall so require.

rules or regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its conflict of laws
principles.

shall be construed to affect the rights of a Participant, a Participant’s
Beneficiaries, or a Participant’s estate to receive any retirement or death
benefit under any tax-qualified or nonqualified pension plan, deferred
compensation agreement, insurance agreement or other retirement plan of the
Company.

11.10. Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable
requirements of section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, and shall be administered in accordance with section 409A of the
Code to the extent section 409A of the Code applies to the Plan. All payments to
be made upon a termination of employment or service under the Plan shall only be
made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, deferral elections and
distributions from the Plan shall only be made in a manner and upon an event
permitted by section 409A of the Code. Except with respect to elections made in
accordance with Article VII, in no event shall a Participant, directly or
indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.
