Recitals

WHEREAS, Widge entered into a Consulting Agreement with Carpenter on December 9,
2008 that provided for: (1) Widge to retire from his employment with Carpenter,
effective January 31, 2009 and begin receiving all retirement benefits to which
he was entitled; (2) Widge to serve as a consultant to Carpenter from
February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2012; and (3) Widge to work 2,880 hours as
a consultant for Carpenter during the course of the Consulting Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Widge did, in fact, retire from Carpenter
effective January 31, 2009 and began receiving his retirement benefits; and

WHEREAS, Widge did begin serving as a consultant to Carpenter on February 1,
2009 and has exceeded the number of hours he was required to work under the
Consulting Agreement as of the time he is entering into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Carpenter desires to rehire Widge as a full time employee and Widge
desires to end his retirement and return to Carpenter as a full time employee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises detailed
below, the parties agree as follows:

1. TERMINATION OF CONSULTING AGREEMENT—The parties agree that the Consulting
Agreement, entered into on December 9, 2008, (a copy of which is annexed hereto)
shall be terminated effective on the date that Widge resumes his employment with
Carpenter and the balance of monthly payments owed to Widge through January 31,
2012 shall cease.

2. SUSPENSION OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS—During the period of time Widge is
re-employed by Carpenter, all retirement benefits, except benefits received
under the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Executives, shall be suspended.

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

 

3. CONSIDERATION—Because Widge completed all hours of service under the
Consulting Agreement without receiving his full consideration, Carpenter shall
pay Widge on the first regularly scheduled pay date following his date of rehire
a lump sum payment of $292,133 and at that time issue him the equivalent of
$315,000 of time-based restricted stock units. Fifty (50%) percent of the
time-based restricted stock units will vest on April 30, 2011 and the remaining
fifty (50%) percent will vest on January 31, 2012. In addition, Carpenter shall
pay Widge on the first regularly scheduled pay date following his date of rehire
a lump sum payment of $125,000 as consideration for the additional hours he
worked above the 2,880 hours required under his Consulting Agreement.

4. ASSIGNMENT—This Agreement and the rights and obligations created by it, shall
not be transferred or assigned without first obtaining the written consent of
the parties.

5. ENTIRE AGREEMENT—This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties concerning the subject matter contained herein. All prior agreements,
discussions, representations, warranties, and covenants are merged herein. There
are no warranties, representations, covenants, or agreements, express or
implied, between the parties except those expressly set forth in this agreement.
Any amendments or modifications of this agreement shall be in writing and
executed by the contracting parties.

6. GOVERNING LAW—This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its
conflicts of law principles.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION—Any disputes related to this Agreement shall be addressed
and resolved by the parties in the following manner:

First, the offended party shall notify the other of the issue in writing and,
unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the parties shall, within ten
(10) days of the date of the notice, meet in person to discuss and resolve the
issue. If they fail to resolve the dispute following this negotiation, or if
they fail to complete their negotiations within twenty-one (21) days of the date
of the notice, the parties shall jointly submit the issue to non-binding
mediation. The mediation shall be conducted in good faith and it shall be held
at a place selected by the mediator in Berks County, Pennsylvania. If the
parties are not able to reach agreement concerning the mediator to be engaged,
they agree to select a mediator from a list of available mediators in the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office of Jams. The parties shall jointly pay the
mediator’s fees and expenses. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the
mediation shall be concluded within ninety (90) days of the notice seeking
negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved fully through mediation, the
aggrieved party may file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction in Berks
County, Pennsylvania, and the parties shall consent to the personal jurisdiction
of that court for that purpose.
