APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee under the Plan at the per share
price of $.01, equal to the par value of a Share, the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in
the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan.

     2. No Payment of Purchase Price Necessary. When the Restricted Stock Units are paid
out to the Grantee, the par value of the underlying Company Stock will be deemed paid by the
Grantee for each Restricted Stock Unit through the past services rendered by the Grantee, and such
deemed payment will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings.

     3. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to
receive, on the Settlement Date, one Share of Company Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit.
Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 4 or
5, the Grantee will have no right to the payment of such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual
payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an
unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units will be made in Shares.

     4. Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5 of this Agreement,
the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement are scheduled to vest in accordance with the
vesting schedule set forth in Appendix B. Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on any
applicable date actually will vest only if the Grantee continues to be an Employee through such
date.

     5. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting
of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units at any time,
subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be
considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. If the Committee, in its
discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the
Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units nevertheless shall
be made, unless otherwise determined by the Committee to be permissible under Applicable Laws, on
the Settlement Date set forth in the Notice of Grant (whether or not the Grantee remains an
Employee through such date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
and as authorized by Section 12.3 of the Plan, the Committee will have the right to reduce or
eliminate (but not to increase) the number of Restricted Stock Units which vest in accordance with
Appendix B, regardless of whether or not the applicable performance criteria have been met, at
anytime prior to the Settlement Date.

     6. Issuance of Shares after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in
accordance with paragraph 4 will be settled by the Company through the issuance of Shares to the
Grantee (or in the event of the Grantee’s death, to his or her estate) as soon as practicable
following the Settlement Date, subject to paragraph 14. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in
accordance with paragraph 5 will be settled by the Company through the issuance of Shares to the
Grantee (or in the event of the

 

 

Grantee’s death, to his or her estate) in accordance with the provision of such paragraph,
subject to paragraph 14.

     7. Forfeiture. Other than as provided in paragraphs 8 through 13, and notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not
vested pursuant to paragraphs 4 or 5 at the time the Grantee ceases to be an Employee will be
forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.
The Grantee shall not be entitled to a refund of the price paid for the Restricted Stock Units
forfeited to the Company pursuant to this paragraph 7.

     8. Death of Grantee. In the event that the Grantee ceases to be an Employee due to
his or her death prior to the Settlement Date, the Target Units will vest and be settled by the
Company through the issuance of Shares to the administrator or executor of the Grantee’s estate, on
a date as soon as practicable after the date of the Grantee’s death. The Company may require any
administrator or executor of the Grantee’s estate to furnish (a) written notice of his or her
status as transferee, or (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the
transfer and compliance with Applicable Laws pertaining to the transfer of the Target Units. The
portion of this award of Restricted Stock Units which exceeds the Target Units shall be forfeited
pursuant to paragraph 7 as of the date of the Grantee’s death.

     9. Disability of Grantee. In the event that the Grantee ceases to be an Employee due
to his or her Disability prior to the Settlement Date, the Restricted Stock Units will continue to
vest pursuant to paragraph 4 and be settled by the Company through the issuance of Shares to the
Grantee, regardless of whether or not the Grantee is then employed by the Company, on the
Settlement Date.

     10. Retirement of Grantee. In the event that the Grantee ceases to be an Employee due
to his or her Retirement (as defined below) prior to the Settlement Date, the Restricted Stock
Units will continue to vest pursuant to paragraph 4 and be settled by the Company through the
issuance of Shares to the Grantee, regardless of whether or not the Grantee is then employed by the
Company, on the Settlement Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a
termination of employment for any reason, other than “Cause” (as defined below in paragraph 11),
after attaining age fifty-five (55) and after having at least ten (10) years of continuous service
with the Company.

     11. Termination of Employment without Cause. In the event that the Grantee’s
employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined below) prior to the Settlement
Date, then the actual number of Restricted Stock Units which will be settled on the Settlement Date
will be determined as follows: (A) the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this
award shall be pro-rated based on the number of twelve (12) month periods which have elapsed since
the Date of Grant and through the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment, then such
pro-rated number of Restricted Stock Units shall (B) vest in accordance with, and pursuant to, the
actual performance objectives set forth in paragraph 4. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean the Grantee’s: (a) failure to substantially perform his or her duties as an
Employee, other than due to illness, injury or Disability; (b) willful engaging in conduct which is
materially injurious to the Company; (c) misconduct involving serious moral turpitude, or any
conviction of, or plea of nolo contendre to, a criminal offense arising out of a breach of trust,

-2-

 

embezzlement or fraud committed against the Company by the Grantee in the course of the
Grantee’s employment with the Company; (d) any violation of paragraph 13 of this Agreement; or (e)
any other action which might be considered “gross misconduct” under the Company’s applicable
associate handbook.

     12. Termination of Employment following Change in Control. In the event that the
Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason, other than for Cause (as defined
above) within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control and prior to the Settlement
Date, the Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest pursuant to paragraph 4 and be settled by
the Company through the issuance of Shares to the Grantee, or if the Grantee is then deceased, to
the administrator or executor of the Grantee’s estate, on the Settlement Date.

     13. Non-solicitation and Non-competition. The receipt of any Shares of Company Stock
pursuant to this Restricted Stock Units award will be subject to the Grantee, for the period of his
or her employment with the Company and for a period of two years after the termination of his or
her employment with the Company, not: (i) soliciting any employee of the Company for employment
with any employer other than the Company, or (ii) directly or indirectly engaging in, having any
ownership interest in or participating in any entity that as of the date of termination, competes
with the Company in any substantial business of the Company or any business reasonably expected to
become a substantial business of the Company. To the extent the Grantee has violated any term and
condition of this paragraph 13, the Restricted Stock Units prior to settlement shall be forfeited
pursuant to paragraph 7 and if Shares of Company Stock have already been issued to the Grantee,
then the Grantee shall be required to either return the Shares to the Company or forfeit any gain
recognized by the Grantee from the sale of such Shares.

     14. Withholding of Taxes. When the Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted
Stock Units, the Grantee will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income if the Grantee is a U.S.
taxpayer. If the Grantee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, the Grantee will be subject to applicable taxes
in his or her jurisdiction. The Company (or the employing Related Entity) will withhold a portion
of the Shares otherwise issuable in payment for vested Restricted Stock Units that have an
aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum federal, state and local income, employment
and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company (or the employing Related
Entity) with respect to the Shares. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to
the grant of Restricted Stock Units and the issuance of Shares thereunder. The Company (or the
employing Related Entity) may instead, in its discretion, withhold an amount necessary to pay the
applicable taxes from the Grantee’s salary or other amounts payable to the Grantee, with no
withholding of Shares. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the
withholding of Shares (or, through the Grantee’s salary or other amounts payable to the Grantee, as
indicated above), no Shares will be issued to the Grantee (or his or her estate) in settlement of
the Restricted Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the
Committee) have been made by the Grantee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes
which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Restricted Stock
Units. By accepting this Award, the Grantee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to
any cash or Share withholding as provided for in this paragraph 14. All income and other taxes
related to the Restricted Stock Unit award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole
responsibility of the Grantee.

-3-

 

     15. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or
through the Grantee shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in
respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares
(which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or
its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Grantee (including through electronic
delivery to a brokerage account) after the Settlement Date. Notwithstanding any contrary
provisions in this Agreement, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or distributions
(as determined by the Company) paid on Shares will affect neither unvested Restricted Stock Units
nor Restricted Stock Units that are vested but unpaid, and no such dividends or other distributions
will be paid on Restricted Stock Units nor Restricted Stock Units that are vested but unpaid.
After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a
stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and
distributions on such Shares.

     16. No Effect on Employment or Service. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued service or employment as an Employee for any period, or at all, and shall not
interfere with the Grantee’s right or the Company’s (or employing Related Entity’s) right to
terminate the Grantee’s relationship as an Employee at any time, with or without Cause.

     17. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of
this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel, at 6940 Columbia
Gateway Drive, Suite 200, Columbia, Maryland 21045, or at such other address as the Company may
hereafter designate in writing.

     18. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph 8
above, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall
not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or of any right or
privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar
process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null
and void.

     19. Restrictions on Sale of Stock. The Shares issued as settlement for the payment
for any vested Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement will be registered under the
federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, the Grantee’s
subsequent sale of the Shares will be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by
the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable
securities laws. In addition, the Shares issued as settlement for the payment of any vested
Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement will also be subject to any applicable
ownership guidelines and Stock ownership holding periods which may be currently in effect under the
Company’s Trading Policy.

     20. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant

certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following
conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class
of stock is then listed; and (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such
Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its
absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other
clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of
time following the date of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may establish
from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.

     22. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan.
In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used and not

     23. Committee Authority. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of

actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and
binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other persons. The Committee shall not be personally

forth in the Associate Agreement after the termination of his or her employment with the Company,
not: (i) soliciting any employee of the Company for employment with any employer other than the
Company, or (ii) directly or indirectly engaging in, having any ownership interest in or
participating in any entity that as of the date of termination, competes with the Company in any
substantial business of the Company or any business reasonably expected to become a substantial
business of the Company. To the extent the Grantee has violated any term and condition of this
paragraph 13, the Restricted Stock Units prior to settlement shall be forfeited pursuant to
paragraph 7 and if Shares of Company Stock have already been issued to the Grantee, then the
Grantee shall be required to either return the Shares to the Company or forfeit any gain recognized
by the Grantee from the sale of such Shares.

     14. Withholding of Taxes. When the Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted
Stock Units, the Grantee will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income if the Grantee is a U.S.
taxpayer. If the Grantee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, the Grantee will be subject to applicable taxes
in his or her jurisdiction. The Company (or the employing Related Entity) will withhold a portion
of the Shares otherwise issuable in payment for vested Restricted Stock Units that have an
aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum federal, state and local income, employment
and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company (or the employing Related
Entity) with respect to the Shares. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to
the grant of Restricted Stock Units and the issuance of Shares thereunder. By accepting this
Award, the Grantee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares as provided for in this
paragraph 14. All income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Unit award and any Shares
delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Grantee.

     15. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or
through the Grantee shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in
respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares
(which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or
its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Grantee (including through electronic
delivery to a brokerage account) after the Settlement Date. Notwithstanding any contrary
provisions in this Agreement, any quarterly or other regular, periodic dividends or distributions
(as determined by the Company) paid on Shares will affect neither unvested Restricted Stock Units
nor Restricted Stock Units that are vested but unpaid, and no such dividends or other distributions
will be paid on

-3-

 

Restricted Stock Units nor Restricted Stock Units that are vested but unpaid. After such
issuance, recordation and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such
Shares.

     16. No Effect on Employment or Service. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued service or employment as an Employee for any period, or at all, and shall not
interfere with the Grantee’s right or the Company’s (or employing Related Entity’s) right to
terminate the Grantee’s relationship as an Employee at any time, with or without Cause.

     17. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of
this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel, at 6940 Columbia
Gateway Drive, Suite 200, Columbia, Maryland 21045, or at such other address as the Company may
hereafter designate in writing.

     18. Grant is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph 8
above, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall
not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or of any right or
privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar
process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately shall become null
and void.

     19. Restrictions on Sale of Stock. The Shares issued as settlement for the payment
for any vested Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement will be registered under the
federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, the Grantee’s
subsequent sale of the Shares will be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by
the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable
securities laws. In addition, the Shares issued as settlement for the payment of any vested
Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement will also be subject to any applicable
ownership guidelines and Stock ownership holding periods which may be currently in effect under the
Company’s Trading Policy.

     20. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant
contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     21. Conditions for Issuance of Certificates for Stock. The shares of stock
deliverable to the Grantee may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares
which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any
certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following
conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class
of stock is then listed; and (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such
Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its
absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other
clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute
discretion, determine to be

-4-

 

necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date
of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may establish from time to time for
reasons of administrative convenience.

     22. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan.
In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used and not
defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

     23. Committee Authority. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and
this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of
the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not
limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All
actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and
binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other persons. The Committee shall not be personally
liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan
or this Agreement.

     24. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve
as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

     25. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

     26. Entire Agreement. Other than to the extent any written employment agreement
between the Grantee and the Company provides for (a) treatment different or (b) the definition of
terms different, than that which is provided by this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the
entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Grantee expressly warrants that
he or she is not executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or
inducements other than those contained herein.

     27. Modifications to the Agreement. The Grantee expressly warrants that he or she is
not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other
than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an
express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise
this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent
of the Grantee, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any
additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of
Shares pursuant to this award of Restricted Stock Units.

     28. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this award, the
Grantee expressly warrants that he or she has a right to receive stock under, and subject to the
terms and conditions of, the Plan and this Agreement, and has received, read and understood the
Plan and

modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.
