 SECTION 5.03. Termination Due to Death or Permanent Disability. If
the Employment Period shall be terminated prior to the Retirement Date due to the Executive’s death or Permanent Disability, the Executive (or his heirs, estate or legal representative) shall be entitled solely to (i) Base Salary through

Executive’s entitlements under any other benefit plan or program shall be as determined thereunder 
 SECTION 5.04.
Termination for Cause or Other Than Good Reason. If the Employment Period shall be terminated prior to the Retirement Date (a) by the Company for Cause or (b) by the Executive other than for Good Reason and not due to the
Executive’s death or Permanent Disability, the Executive shall be entitled, within ten (10) days following the Date of Termination, to receive solely (i) the Base Salary through the Date of Termination; (ii) payment for all
accrued, but unused, vacation time through the Date of Termination; and (iii) reimbursement of all Reimbursable Expenses incurred by the Executive prior to such termination. The Executive’s rights under any benefit plan or program shall be
as set forth thereunder. 
 SECTION 5.05. Medical Benefits. (a) If the Employment Period is terminated as a result of a
termination of employment as specified in Section 5.02, the Executive and his dependents shall continue to receive his medical insurance benefits from the Company, on terms substantially comparable to the terms of the Company’s medical
plan, for a period equal to the lesser of (x) twenty four (24) months following the Date of Termination or (y) until the Executive is provided by another employer with benefits substantially comparable (with no preexisting condition
limitations) to the benefits provided by the Company’s medical plan. For purposes of enforcing this offset provision, the Executive shall have a duty to promptly inform the Company in writing as to the terms and conditions of any medical
benefits provided in connection with any subsequent employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefits provided in this Section 5.05 shall not in any way modify, limit, or waive any rights the Executive or his dependents may have with
respect to any retiree or other post-employment medical benefits, it being agreed that this Section 5.05 provides a minimum amount of coverage that must be provided, and not a replacement of any coverage to which the Executive or his dependents
may otherwise be entitled. 
 (b) The benefits set forth under Section 5.05(a) will be provided as follows: 

(1) The first eighteen months will be available through COBRA. If the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage, the
Executive shall continue to participate in all medical insurance plans he was participating on the Date of Termination, and the Company shall pay the applicable premium and will annually impute income to the Executive for the fair market value of
the premium. To the extent that Executive had dependent coverage immediately prior to termination of employment, such continuation of benefits for Executive shall also cover Executive’s dependents for so long as Executive is receiving
benefits under this paragraph and such dependents remain eligible. The COBRA Continuation Period for medical insurance under this paragraph shall be deemed to run concurrent with the continuation period federally mandated by COBRA (generally 18
months), or any other legally mandated and applicable federal, state, or local coverage period for benefits provided to terminated employees under the medical plan. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “COBRA”
means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and (b) “COBRA Continuation Period” shall mean the continuation period for medical insurance to be provided under the terms of this
Agreement which shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the date of termination falls and generally shall continue for an 18-month period. 

  
 -5- 








 (2) Following the conclusion of the 18 month COBRA Continuation Period described
above, the Company will provide coverage as follows: 
 a) If the relevant medical plan is self insured (within the meaning
of Code Section 105(h)), and such plan permits coverage for the Executive, then the Company will continue to provide coverage under the plan for an additional six (6) months and will annually impute income to the Executive for the fair
market value of the premium. 
 b) If, however, the plan does not permit the continued participation following the end of the
COBRA Continuation Period as contemplated above, then the Company will reimburse Executive for the actual cost to Executive of any individual medical insurance policy obtained by Executive in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection
(3) below. 
 (3) Reimbursement to the Executive pursuant to subsection (b) above will be available only to the extent that
(a) such expense is actually incurred for any particular calendar year and reasonably substantiated; (b) reimbursement shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which such expense is incurred by the
Executive; (c) no reimbursement provided for any expense incurred in one taxable year will affect the amount available in another taxable year; and (d) the right to this reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reimbursement will be provided for any expense incurred following the additional six (6) months, or for any expense that relates to coverage after such date or the original 24 month period contemplated
by Section 5.05(a). 
 SECTION 5.06. Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Permanent Disability or Cause or
without Cause, or by the Executive with or without Good Reason shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision indicated.

 SECTION 5.07. Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean if the Employment Period ends
prior to the Retirement Date: (a) as a result of a Permanent Disability, the next business day after a Notice of Termination is given following the Permanent Disability; (b) as a result of death, the date of death; and (c) for any
other reason, the later of the date the Notice of Termination is given or the end of any applicable correction period except as otherwise specifically provided herein. 

SECTION 5.08. No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall have no duty to seek new employment or other duty to mitigate following a
termination of employment as described in Section 5.02 above, and no compensation or benefits described in Section 5.02 shall be subject to reduction or offset on account of any subsequent compensation, other than as provided in
Section 5.05. 
 SECTION 5.09. Release. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Executive shall not be required by the
Release to release claims that the Executive may have against the Company for reimbursement of ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by him during the course of his employment, claims that arise after the effective date of the Release,
any rights the Executive may have to enforce Sections 5.02 of this Agreement, and claims for which the Executive is entitled to be indemnified under the Company’s charter, by-laws or under applicable law or pursuant to the Company’s
directors’ and officer’s liability insurance policies and Article 9 of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 6 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

SECTION 6.01. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Executive and the Company agree that certain materials, including, but

 -6- 








 
manufacturing processes, financial methods, plans or the business and affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, constitute proprietary confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly,
the Executive will not at any time during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company disclose or use for the Executive’s own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any Person, other than the Company and any of its
Affiliates, any proprietary confidential information or trade secrets. The foregoing obligations imposed by this Section 6.01 will not apply (i) in the course of the business of and for the benefit of the Company, (ii) if such
information has become, through no fault of the Executive, generally known to the public, or (iii) if the Executive is required by law to make disclosure (after giving the Company notice and an opportunity to contest such requirement). The
Executive agrees that upon termination of employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will immediately return to the Company all memoranda, books, paper, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom,
which in any way relate to the business of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive further agrees that the Executive will not retain or use for the Executive’s account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business
designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
 ARTICLE 7 

NONCOMPETITION 
 SECTION 7.01.
Noncompetition. (a) The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees that during the term of the Executive’s employment and for a period
of two (2) years after the termination thereof: 
 (i) the Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in any business which is in
competition with any line of business conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, where such engagement is as an officer, director, proprietor, employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder of less than 1%
of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded corporation), consultant, advisor, agent or sales representative, in any Restricted Territory; 

(ii) the Executive will not perform or solicit the performance of services for any customer or client of the Company or any of its Affiliates;

 (iii) the Executive will not directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to (1) engage in any
activity or conduct which is prohibited pursuant to this Section 7.01, or (2) terminate such employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Moreover, the Executive will not directly or indirectly employ or offer
employment (in connection with any business which is in competition with any line of business conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates) to any person who was employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates unless such person shall have
ceased to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates for a period of at least twelve (12) months; and 
 (iv) the Executive
will not directly or indirectly assist others in engaging in any of the activities which are prohibited under clauses (i)-(iii) of this Section 7.01(a) above. 

(b) The covenant contained in Section 7.01(a)(i) above is intended to be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each
county, town, city and state or other political subdivision of a Restricted Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding subsections. If, in any
judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants (or any part thereof) deemed included in such subsections, then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed to be eliminated from this Agreement for
the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. 

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this
Section 7.01 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an


  
 -7- 








 
unenforceable restriction against the Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be
amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. 

ARTICLE 8 
 EQUITABLE RELIEF 

SECTION 8.01. Equitable Relief. The Executive acknowledges that (a) the covenants contained in Sections 6.01 and 7.01 hereof are
reasonable, (b) the Executive’s services are unique, and (c) a breach or threatened breach by him of any of his covenants and agreements with the Company contained in Sections 6.01 or 7.01 hereof could cause irreparable harm to the
Company for which it would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, and in addition to any remedies which the Company may have at law, in the event of an actual or threatened breach by the Executive of his covenants and agreements contained in
Sections 6.01 or 7.01 hereof, the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, without a requirement to post bond, out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such promises by the
Executive or the Executive’s employees, partners or agents. 
 ARTICLE 9 

INDEMNIFICATION 
 SECTION 9.01.
(a) Indemnification. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law and the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws,
against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in
connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs,
executors and administrators. 
 (b) D&O Insurance. During the Employment Period, the Company shall keep in place a
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or policies) providing comprehensive coverage to the Executive to the same extent that the Company provides such coverage for any other officer or director of the Company and, after the
expiration of the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to such coverage to the same extent that the Company provides such coverage for any other current or former officer or director of the Company.

remedies upon any person other than the Company, the Executive and their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns. 
 SECTION
10.10. Effectiveness; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Start Date. Prior to the Start Date, the Prior Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. On and after the
Start Date, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter
hereof, including, without limitation, the Prior Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Change in Control Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms. 

SECTION 10.11. Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event that the Executive institutes any legal action to enforce his rights under, or to
recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the Executive, if he is the prevailing party, shall be entitled to recover from the Company reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by him. Such fees and expenses will be paid by the
Company in no event later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the fees and expenses become due by reason of the Executive being the prevailing party. 

SECTION 10.12. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law will be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless
the context requires otherwise. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation” and is intended by the parties to be by way of example rather than limitation. 

SECTION 10.13. Survival. Sections 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.05, 5.08, 6.01, 7.01, 8.01, 9.01 and Article 10 hereof will survive and continue
in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period, and the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force to the extent necessary to enforce any rights and obligations arising hereunder during the
Employment Period. 
 SECTION 10.14. GOVERNING LAW. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAW OF PENNSYLVANIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. 
 SECTION 10.15.
Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 
 (a) If any benefit provided under this Agreement is subject to the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, the provisions of the Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner necessary to comply with Section 409A and the regulations issued thereunder (or
disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed.) 
 (b) For purposes of the Agreement, the
Executive shall be considered to have experienced a termination of employment only if the Executive has terminated employment with the Company and all of its controlled group members within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes
hereof, the determination of controlled group members shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code; provided that the language “at least 50 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80
percent” in each place it appears in Section 1563(a)(1),(2) and (3) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § 1.414(c)-2. Whether the Executive has terminated employment will be determined based on all of the facts and circumstances and in
accordance with the guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) For purposes of Section 409A, each severance benefit
payment shall be treated as a separate payment. Each payment under this Agreement is intended to be excepted from Section 409A to the maximum extent provided under Section 409A as follows: (i) the Employee’s termination date and
within the applicable 2  1⁄2 month period specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) is intended
to be excepted under the short-term deferral exception as specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4); (ii) post-termination medical benefits are intended

to be excepted under the medical benefits exceptions as specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B); and (iii) to the extent payments are made as a result of an involuntary
separation, each payment that is not otherwise excepted under the short-term deferral exception or medical benefits exception is intended to be excepted under the involuntary pay exception as specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). The
Executive shall have no right to designate the date of any payment under this Agreement. 
 (d) With respect to payments subject to
Section 409A of the Code (and not excepted therefrom), if any, it is intended that each payment is paid on a permissible distribution event and at a specified time consistent with Section 409A of the Code. The Company reserves the right to
accelerate and/or defer any payment to the extent permitted and consistent with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that a payment hereunder is subject to Section 409A of the
Code (and not excepted therefrom) and payable on account or a termination of employment, such payment shall be delayed for a period of six months after the date of termination (or, if earlier, the death of the Executive ) if the Executive is a
“specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and determined in accordance with the procedures established by the Company). Any payment that would otherwise have been due or owing during such 6-month period will be paid
immediately following the end of the 6-month period in the month following the month containing the 6-month anniversary of the date of termination.
