8. Voting Rights and Dividends. The Executive has the right to vote the full number of shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award, except to the extent shares are forfeited.
The Executive shall not be paid any dividends with respect to the Long-Term Incentive Award until the Executive has become vested in the shares. At the time of vesting, the Executive shall receive the aggregate dividends (without interest) that the Executive would have received if the Executive had owned all the shares in which the Executive had vested for the period beginning on the date of grant of those shares, and ending on the date of vesting. No dividends shall be paid to the Executive with respect to any shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award that are forfeited by the Executive.
In the event any or all of the shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award are split, or combined, or in any other manner changed, modified or amended, or the Company is recapitalized, restructured, or reorganized, the Executive shall receive such number of new shares or equivalent equity interest and value so that the value of any remaining shares of restricted stock under this Agreement is not diminished or adversely affected in any manner.
9. Termination Policy. This Agreement is not an employment contract. This Agreement is, however, a contract creating enforceable rights between the Company (and any successor) and the Executive regarding the Long-Term Incentive Award.

During the period covered by the Long-Term Incentive Award, if the Executives employment with the Company is terminated for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then all unvested and unreleased shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award shall be forfeited. During the period covered by the Long-Term Incentive Award, if the Executives employment with the Company is terminated without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason not following a Change in Control, then one year of the Time-Based Award, one year of the Earnings-Based Award at target level and one year of the Shareholder Return Performance Award at target level shall vest and all restrictions shall be removed. During the period covered by the Long-Term Incentive Award, if the Executives employment with the Company is terminated by (i) reason of the Executives death, (ii) Disability, (iii) the Company without Cause following a Change in Control or (iv) the Executive with Good Reason following a Change in Control, then all shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award shall vest and all restrictions shall be removed. The terms Cause, Good Reason, Change in Control, and Disability as used in this Section 9 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Severance Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

deferred bonus stock awards or additional restricted stock award during that period (other than awards granted and still in effect prior to January 31, 2003). The Compensation Policy Committee reserves the right to make additional long-term incentive awards to individuals in cases where it believes doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
11. The Plan. The awards made by the Compensation Policy Committee and described in this Agreement are made in accordance with and subject to the Plan. In the opinion of the Compensation Policy Committee and the Company, the terms of this Agreement are in full accordance with the Plan.

12. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement represents the full and complete understanding between the Executive and the Company and this Agreement cannot be modified or changed by any prior or contemporaneous or future oral agreement of the parties. This Agreement shall only be modified by the express written agreement of the parties.
13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Maryland without regard to choice of law or conflict of law rules.
14. Designation of Beneficiary. The Executive may designate a beneficiary in the space provided at the end of this Agreement.
15. Taxation. The Executive understands that upon removal of restrictions on any of the shares represented by the Long-Term Incentive Award, a taxable event will occur and Executive will be responsible for payment of taxes due. The Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or any other benefits under this Agreement on the satisfaction of applicable withholding requirements. The Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Executive, through the surrender of shares of common stock of the Company that the Executive already owns, or through the surrender of shares to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under the Plan.
