 THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, dated as of this 1st day of January, 2005, between LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc., a
Virginia corporation (“the Company”) and Theodore L. Chandler, Jr. (the “Officer”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and any future
amendments thereto (the “Plan”). The Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings given them in the Plan. 
  
 1. Award of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company on this date awards to the Officer 5,800 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”). 
  
 2. Terms and Conditions. The award of Restricted Stock hereunder is
subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a)
Restricted Period. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Officer’s interest in the Restricted Stock shall be transferable and nonforfeitable (“Vested”) on January 1, 2009. The period from the Date of Grant until the
Restricted Stock is Vested shall be referred to as the “Restricted Period.” 
  
 (b) Certificates Issued. The stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be registered on the Company’s books in the name of the Officer as of the date hereof. Upon vesting of any part of the
shares of Restricted Stock prior to any event of forfeiture 

 under paragraph 3, by virtue of expiration of a Restriction Period set forth above or under paragraph 3 of this
Agreement, the Company shall cause a stock certificate, without such restricted stock legend, to be issued covering the requisite number of vested shares of the Company’s Common Stock, registered on the Company’s books in the name of the
Officer, within thirty (30) days after such vesting. Upon receipt of such stock certificate(s) without the restricted stock legend, the Officer is free to hold or dispose of such certificate, subject to (1) the general conditions and procedures
provided in the Plan and this Agreement and (2) the applicable restrictions and procedures of federal and state securities laws. During each applicable Restriction Period, the shares of Restricted Stock that are not yet vested are not transferable
by the Officer by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge or otherwise. 
  
 (c) Shareholder Rights. Prior to any forfeiture of the shares of Restricted Stock and while the shares are shares of Restricted Stock, the Officer shall, subject to the restrictions of the Plan, have all rights
of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, including the right to receive dividends, warrants and rights and to vote the shares; provided, however, that (i) the Officer may not sell, transfer, pledge,
exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of Restricted Stock, (ii) the Company shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock, and (iii) the Officer will deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with
respect to each award of Restricted Stock. 
  

 2 

 (d) Reservation of Rights. The Company reserves the right to retain physical possession and
custody of each said stock certificate until such time as the shares of Restricted Stock are vested (i.e., each applicable Restriction Period expires). The Company reserves the right to place a legend on each said stock certificate,
restricting the transferability of such certificate and referring to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) provided in this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to retain and withhold from any award of the Restricted Stock, the amount of taxes required
by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to such award. At its discretion, the Company may require the Officer receiving shares of Restricted Stock to reimburse the Company for any such taxes required to be
withheld by the Company, and, withhold any distribution in whole or in part until the Company is so reimbursed. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the unrestricted right to withhold, from any other cash amounts due (or to become due) from the
Company to the Officer, an amount equal to such taxes required to be withheld by the Company to reimburse the Company for any such taxes (or retain and withhold a number of shares of vested Restricted Stock, having a market value not less than the
amount of such taxes, and cancel in whole or in part any such shares so withheld, in order to reimburse the Company for any such taxes). 
  
 3. Death; Disability; Retirement; Termination of Employment. The shares of Restricted Stock not yet vested shall become 100% vested and
transferable in the event that the Officer dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended) while employed by the Company or an Affiliate during the Restricted Period.
In the event that the Officer retires from employment with the 
  

 3 

 Company during the Restricted Period, but after age 58, or in any other circumstance approved by the Committee in its
sole discretion, the shares of Restricted Stock shall become 100% vested and transferable. In all events other than those previously addressed in this paragraph, if the Officer ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, all Restricted
Stock that is not then Vested shall be forfeited. 
  
 4. No
Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not confer upon the Officer any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to
terminate his or her employment at any time. 
  
 5. Change of
Control or Capital Structure. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Restricted Stock covered by this award shall be proportionately adjusted and the terms of the restrictions on such shares
shall be adjusted as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from any stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock),
stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or general issuance to the holders of Common Stock of rights to purchase Common Stock at substantially below its then fair market value or any change in the number of such
shares outstanding effected without receipt of cash or property or labor or services by the Company or for any spin-off, spin-out, split-up, split-off or other distribution of assets to shareholders. 
  

 4 

 In the event of a Change of Control, the provisions of Section 13.03 of the Plan shall apply to this
award of Restricted Stock. In the event of a change in the Common Stock of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change in all of its authorized shares without par value into the same number of shares with par value, the shares
resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan. 
  
 The award of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply. 
  
 7. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
  
 8. Officer Bound by Plan. The Officer hereby acknowledges receipt of a
copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. 
  
 9. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated herein and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legatees, distributees and personal representatives of the
Officer and the successors of the Company. 
  

 5 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be signed by a duly authorized officer, and
the Officer has affixed his or her signature hereto.
