	 	(b)	Grantee has reviewed with Grantee’s own tax advisors, the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands that Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Grantee’s own tax liability
that may arise as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	 	(c)	Grantee has received, read and understood this Agreement, the Plan and the prospectus describing the material terms of the Plan, and agrees to abide by and be bound by
their respective terms and conditions. 

  

	 	7.	ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of any change in the outstanding Company Stock resulting
from a subdivision or consolidation of shares, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, share distribution or combination of shares or the payment of a share dividend, the Restricted Shares shall be treated
in the same manner in any such transaction as other Company Stock. Any Company Stock or other securities received by the Grantee with respect to the Restricted Shares in any such transaction shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set

by reference and this Restricted Stock Grant shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Committee shall interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement, and its interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and
binding on the Company and the Grantee and any other person claiming an interest hereunder, with respect to any issue arising hereunder or thereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the
Plan shall control.

Grantee, as compensation or otherwise, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements. 

  

	 	13.	GOVERNING LAW. Questions pertaining to construction, validity and effect of the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement and the rights of all persons
hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

	 	15.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding on the Company’s successors and assigns. 


 

	 	16.	[NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue such Grantee’s
relationship with the Company, nor shall it give the Grantee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate
the Grantee’s employment at any time for any reason.]
