specified circumstances.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties,

plea of guilty to, a crime constituting a felony or any criminal offense
constituting involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of
the United States or any state thereof, other than an automobile offense;
(iii) intentionally and materially violated any contract or agreement between
the Executive and the Company, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct or any of
the Company’s material policies; provided, however, that no act or failure to
act by the Executive shall be deemed to constitute Cause under this subsection

the Company has actual knowledge of the facts and circumstances upon which it
seeks to rely as a basis for its right to terminate for Cause, (ii) such notice
sets forth in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances and (iii) the
Executive has failed to correct any of the events listed in Section 1.1.1(a)

that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence)
as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after
such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional
voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not
occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities
Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a
Change in Control shall be deemed to occur;

involving (directly or indirectly) the Company and, immediately after the
consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or
indirectly, either (i) outstanding voting securities representing more than
fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving
Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (ii) more than
fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of
the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction in
each case in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction;

substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries
to an Entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the

securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or
other disposition;

Board; provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or nomination for

the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be
considered a member of the Incumbent Board.

(if any) for the remaining term of each such Equity Award; provided, however,
that for stock options and stock appreciation rights granted prior to the
Effective Date, such period shall not exceed the latest date possible that would
not cause such option or stock appreciation right to become subject to
Section 409A of the Code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2 Release. The Executive shall not receive any of the benefits set forth under
Section 2.1 hereof, unless and until, the Executive furnishes the Company with
an effective waiver and release of claims (the “Release”) in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A.

2.3 Termination for Death, Disability or Cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be interpreted to entitle the Executive to any of the rights provided for in
Section 2.1 hereof upon the termination of the Executive’s employment due to
death, Disability or Cause.

2.4 Parachute Payments.

2.4.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any benefit
the Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise (a “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then
such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be
either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of
the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion of the
Payment, up to and including the total Payment, whichever amount, after taking
into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income
taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal
rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater
amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment
may be subject to the Excise Tax. If acceleration of vesting of stock award
compensation is to be reduced so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount,
such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date
of grant of the Executive’s stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing
a different order for cancellation.

2.4.2 The Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting
firm to make the determinations required hereunder, which accounting firm shall
not then be serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
that effected the Change in Control. The Company shall bear all expenses with
respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made
hereunder.

2.4.3 The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall
provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to
the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date
on which the Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that
time by the Company or the Executive) or such other time as requested by the
Company or the Executive. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax
is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of
the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and the Executive with an
opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be
imposed with respect to such Payment. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon
the accounting firm’s determinations, which shall be final and binding on all
persons.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.5 Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.

2.5.1 The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits
under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The benefits to
be provided pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall not be reduced by any
compensation or benefits payable or provided to the Executive as a result of
employment by another employer after the date of termination or otherwise.

2.5.2 The specific arrangements referred to in this Agreement are not intended
to exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a
termination of employment with the Company pursuant to any other agreement
between the Company and the Executive, including any employment or severance
agreement.

3. WITHHOLDING.

All payments required to be made by the Company under this Agreement to the
Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating
to tax and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine
should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

4. NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND OBLIGATIONS.

4.1 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create anything other
than a terminable at will employment relationship between the Company and the
Executive, and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time,
subject to providing any benefits specified in this Agreement in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and subject to any other agreement between the
Company and the Executive.

4.2 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or require the Company to
create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable under this
Agreement, and to the extent that the Executive acquires a right to receive
benefits from the Company under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

5. ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive
and the Executive’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, assigns,
administrators and legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be assignable by the Executive. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors, assigns and legal representatives. The Company shall use its best
efforts to require any successors and assigns to all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree in writing to
be bound by this Agreement and to perform the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have
been required to perform such obligations had no succession or assignment taken
place; provided that no such assumption or agreement by such successors and
assigns shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this
Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

This Agreement is made and intended to be performed primarily within the state
of Pennsylvania. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance
with the internal laws of the state of Pennsylvania (without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law). Each of the parties irrevocably consents to
service of process by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance herewith.
Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the state courts
in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and the federal courts in the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania in any and all actions between the parties arising
hereunder. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL
CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

7. LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES.

The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive on an after-tax basis for all
costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses
that reflect common practice with respect to the matters involved) incurred by
the Executive as a result of any claim, action or proceeding arising out of this
Agreement or the contesting, disputing or enforcing of any provision, right or
obligation under this Agreement, except where it is finally determined that the
Executive’s position was substantially without merit and asserted in bad faith.

8. INTEGRATION.

Except as may otherwise be provided herein, this Agreement, including Exhibit A,
contains the complete, final and exclusive agreement of the Parties relating to
the terms and conditions contained herein, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous oral and written agreements or arrangements between the Parties
relating to the matters agreed to in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement shall not have any effect upon any other employment
agreement, severance agreement, employee agreement, indemnification agreement,
confidentiality agreement, Equity Awards, Equity Plan, bonus plans, benefit
plans and other agreements or arrangements in effect between the Company and the
Executive other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement. No provision
of any future Equity Award, Equity Plan or other agreement between the Company
and the Executive shall constitute a modification to any provision of this
Agreement, even if such future provision is inconsistent with a provision of
this Agreement, unless and only to the extent that such future provision
specifically refers to this Agreement and includes a statement that the parties
expressly intend to modify a provision of this Agreement. No agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not expressly set
forth in this Agreement.

9. AMENDMENT.

This Agreement cannot be amended or modified except by a written agreement
signed by the Executive and a director who is duly authorized by the Board to
sign on their behalf.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. WAIVER.

No term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof shall be
deemed waived, except with the written consent of the Party against whom the
waiver is claimed, and any waiver or any such term, covenant, condition or
breach shall be narrowly construed to apply only to the specific circumstances
in which it is given and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant, condition or breach.
No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any power, right, privilege or
remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the Parties with
respect to any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall
operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or
partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or
remedy under this Agreement.

11. SEVERABILITY.

The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authorized body of the
unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision of this Agreement
shall not render any other provision of this Agreement unenforceable, invalid or
illegal. The invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be modified or
replaced with a valid and enforceable term or provision which most accurately
represents the Parties’ intention with respect to the invalid or unenforceable
term or provision.

and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. The Executive has been
encouraged to consult with the Executive’s own independent counsel and tax
advisors with respect to the terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge
that each Party or its counsel has reviewed and revised, or had an opportunity
to review and revise, this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

13. COUNTERPARTS.

This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than one original counterpart hereof.

1. In exchange for the consideration provided to the Executive by the Agreement
that the Executive is not otherwise entitled to receive and the other
