Plan Terms and Rules. Each Participant, as a condition of participation in this Plan, is bound by all the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Plan Rules.

Terms of Plan Govern. Each Award made hereunder is made pursuant to the Norfolk Southern Corporation Long‑Term Incentive Plan (Plan), all the terms and conditions of which are deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement and which forms a part of this Agreement. The Participant agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan and by all determinations of the Committee thereunder. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 10.5 or Sections 2.4, 2.9, 2.13 or 10.2 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

Application. The provisions of this Section 19 apply to Participants who are employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate located in the United States and are subject to the laws of the United States as of the date of termination of the Participant's employment; provided, however, that to the extent the Participant is asked to execute an employment or other agreement with the Corporation or any Affiliate containing non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, business ideas or similar restrictions (a “stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement”) after execution of this Award Agreement, the stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement and related enforcement provisions shall govern and the provisions of this Section 19 shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, sub-section # below shall apply in any case. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 19 shall supersede any restrictive covenants the Participant has entered into with the Corporation or any Affiliate prior to execution of this Award Agreement.

Prepayment Application. Each prepayment of the Loans by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3 shall be applied first, to accrued but unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount being prepaid, and second, the balance to the principal amount of the Loans.

Payment Application. Each payment hereunder shall be applied first towards unpaid fees (if any) and then towards principal. Each payment to the Holder under this Note shall be paid at such place as the Holder may from time to time direct.

Erroneous Application Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return such amount to Agent)

Terms. All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same respective meanings as are given such terms in the Lease unless expressly provided otherwise in this Amendment.

Terms. The exercise price per Share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to # the excess of # the
