OF THE CORPORATION. 
 4. Escrow of Shares. 
 (a) Certificates evidencing the Shares issued under this Agreement will be held in escrow by the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee (the “Escrow Holder”) until such Shares cease to
be subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 2, at which time the Escrow Holder will deliver such certificates representing the nonforfeitable Shares to the Grantee; provided, however, that no certificates for Shares will be delivered to
the Grantee until appropriate arrangements have been made with the Company for the withholding or payment of any taxes that may be due with respect to such Shares. 
 (b) If any of the Shares are forfeited by the Grantee under Section 2, upon request by the Company, the Escrow Holder will deliver the stock certificate(s) evidencing those Shares to the Company,
which will then have the right to retain and transfer those Shares to its own name free and clear of any rights of the Grantee under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 (c) The Escrow Holder is hereby directed to permit transfer of the Shares only in accordance with this Agreement or in accordance with instructions which are consistent with this Agreement which are
signed by both parties. In the event further instructions are reasonably desired by the Escrow Holder, he or she shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon directions given by a majority of the members of the Board. The Escrow Holder shall have no
liability for any act or omissions hereunder while acting in good faith in the exercise of his or her own judgment. 
 5.
Rights of Grantee. The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Shares and to receive dividends with respect to the Shares. 
 6. Stock Splits, etc. If, while any of the Shares remain subject to forfeiture, there occurs any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or
exchange of shares, or other similar change in the Company’s common stock, then any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other consideration to which the Grantee is entitled by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of the
Shares will be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as “Shares” for purpose of this Agreement. 
 7. Tax Withholding. Grantee shall be required to deposit with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect to any withholding taxes, FICA
contributions, or the like under any federal, state, or local statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation in connection with the vesting or award of the Shares. Alternatively, the Company may, at Grantee’s election, (i) withhold the required
amounts from Grantee’s pay during the pay periods next following the date on which any such applicable tax liability otherwise arises, or (ii) withhold a number of Shares otherwise deliverable having a Fair Market Value sufficient to
satisfy the statutory minimum of all or part of Grantee’s estimated total federal, state, and local tax obligations associated with the vesting or award of the Shares.

 8. Restriction on Transfer. Except for the escrow described in Section 4 hereof
or the transfer of the Shares to the Company as contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered, pledged or otherwise alienated or disposed of in any way until the Shares become
nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.

the Shares.

regulation or exchange listing requirement. This Agreement may also be amended by the Committee with the consent of the Grantee. Any such amendment shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Grantee.

relationship as an Employee or to modify any agreement between the Grantee and the Company or its Subsidiaries relating thereto.

accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the application of the principals of conflicts or choice of laws.
