BATTAGLIA, J.,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I respectfully dissent for the well articulated reasons stated by the Court of Special Appeals in Moore v. Moore, 144 Md.App. 288, 797 A.2d 839 (2002). Particularly, I am troubled that the majority is willing to stretch the ordinary meanings of *196the terms “modification” and “termination” to support its conclusion. I refuse to accept the proposition that an agreement expressly prohibiting modification of alimony nevertheless allows for the termination of alimony — the most radical type of modification imaginable.

¶3Chief Judge BELL authorizes me to state that he joins in this dissent.
