2008 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
  

			
	Restricted Stock Unit Nontransferability	  	This grant is an award of restricted stock units in the number of units set forth on the cover sheet, at the purchase price set forth on the cover sheet, and subject to the
vesting conditions described below (“Restricted Stock Units”). The purchase price is deemed paid by your service as a director to the Company. Your Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
		
	Vesting	  	Your Restricted Stock Units vest as to one-quarter (1/4) of the total number of shares of Stock covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on the Grant Date and
one-quarter (1/4) on the first day of the next three calendar quarters (each a “Vesting Date”), subject to your continued service as a director of the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. The resulting aggregate number of vested
Restricted Stock Units will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of units covered by this grant.
		
	Delivery of Shares	  	Delivery of the shares of Stock represented by your vested Restricted Stock Units will be made within three (3) days after (a) December 31, 2011 or (b) if earlier, the date you
are no longer a director of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, delivery of the shares of Stock represented by your vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made in accordance with your deferral election, if any, made pursuant to the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
		
	Forfeiture of Unvested Stock Units	  	In the event that you are no longer serving as a director of the Company for any reason, you will forfeit to the Company all of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet
vested.
		
	Issuance	  	The issuance of Stock under this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book entry
registration or issuance of one or more Stock certificates.
		
	Change in Control	  	Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, upon the consummation of a Change in Control, this award will become 100% vested.

  
 2 

			
	Shareholder Rights	  	 You do not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Stock relating to
the Restricted Stock Units has been delivered to you. In the event of a cash dividend by the Company on its outstanding Stock, you will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the per-share dividend paid on the Stock for each Restricted Stock
Unit. The Company may in its sole discretion require that dividends be reinvested in additional stock units, subject to the same vesting conditions and delivered at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units.

 
 Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock split, stock dividend,
combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be part of the Restricted Stock Units and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto.

		
	Adjustments	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this grant may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest
whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity in accordance with the terms of
the Plan.
		
	Applicable Law	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer
construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
		
	The Plan	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

 
 This Agreement, the Plan and your election form constitute the entire understanding
between you and the Company regarding this grant of Restricted Stock Units. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded.

		
	Data Privacy	  	In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes but is not limited to the information provided in this Agreement and any
changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and business addresses and other contact information and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the
administration of

	 	  	 the Plan.
  

By accepting this grant, you give explicit consent to the Company to process any such
personal data. You also give explicit consent to the Company to
transfer any such personal
data to other persons who are designated by the Company to administer the Plan.

		
	Consent to Electronic Delivery	  	The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory materials relating to the Plan in electronic form. By accepting this grant you agree that the Company may deliver the Plan
prospectus and the Company’s annual report to you in an electronic format. If at any time you would prefer to receive paper copies of these documents, as you are entitled to, the Company would be pleased to provide copies. Please contact the
General Counsel at (703) 273-7500 to request paper copies of these documents.
		
	Electronic Signature	  	All references to signatures and delivery of documents in this Agreement can be satisfied by procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature
system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents, including this Agreement. Your electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, your manual signature. Any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a
third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan.

 By signing the
cover sheet of this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.
