Administrator and its successors shall be appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, without compensation, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. In the absence of

 -13- 









	9.6.	Claims Procedure 

  

	 	(a)	The Plan Administrator will advise each Participant and Beneficiary of any benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan. If any person believes that the Plan Administrator has
failed to advise him of any benefit to which he is entitled, he may file a written claim with the Plan Administrator. The claim shall be reviewed, and a response provided, within 90 days of the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the claim;
provided, however, that in special circumstances the Plan Administrator may extent the response period for up to an additional 90 days provided the Plan Administrator so notifies the claimant in writing and specifies the reason or reasons for such
extension. Every claimant who is denied a claim for benefits shall be provided with written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: 

  

	 	(1)	the specific reason or reasons for the denial; 

  

	 	(2)	specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which denial is based; 

  

	 	(3)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim; and 

  

	 	(4)	an explanation of the claim review procedures set forth in paragraph (b), below. 

  

	 	(b)	Within 60 days of receipt by a claimant of a notice denying a claim under the Plan under paragraph (a), the claimant or his duly authorized representative may request in writing a
full and fair review of the claim by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may extent the 60-day period where the nature of the benefit involved or other attendant circumstances make such extension appropriate. In connection with such
review, the claimant or his duly authorized representative may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. The Plan Administrator shall make a decision promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Plan
Administrator’s receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing, if the Plan Administrator deems one necessary) require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be
rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

	10.1.	Amendment 

 The Company shall have the right to
amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part at any time or from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment shall have the effect of reducing the amount of the benefit which has accrued to a Participant as of the amendment date. Any such
amendment shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors. 
  

	10.2.	Termination 

 Although it is the expectation of the
Company that this Plan will be continued indefinitely, the continuance of the Plan is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company, and the right is reserved at any time to discontinue and terminate this Plan. The Employer reserves the
right to terminate the Plan at any time. However, no termination shall have the effect of reducing the amount of the benefit which has accrued to a Participant as of the termination date. The Plan may only be terminated by resolution of the Board of
Directors. Except as provided below, upon such termination, a Participant’s vested Account shall be held and administered in accordance with the terms of the Plan until distributed pursuant to Article VII. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, vested Accounts may be paid to 
 Participants by reason of termination of the Plan, as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	If the Plan terminates within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
§503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross incomes in the latest of: 

  

	 	(1)	The calendar year in which the plan termination occurs; 

  

	 	(2)	The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or 

  

	 	(3)	The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(b)	 If the Plan terminates within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a change of control as defined in Treasury Regulations issued under Code
Section 409A (including a change of ownership, a change of effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation as provided for in such Regulations). For this purpose, an arrangement will be
treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Company and the Affiliated Employers are terminated, so that the Participant

in the arrangement and all participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the
terminated arrangements within 12 months of the date of termination of the arrangements. 


  

	 	(c)	If the Plan terminates, provided that: 

  

	 	(1)	All arrangements sponsored by the Company and the Affiliated Employers that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treas. Reg. §1 .409A-l(c) if the same
Participant participated in all of the arrangements are terminated; 

  

	 	(2)	No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination of the
arrangements; 

  

	 	(3)	All payments are made within 24 months of the termination of the arrangements; and 

  

	 	(4)	The Company and the Affiliated Employers do not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treas. Reg. § 1 .409A-l(c) if the same
Participant participated in both arrangements at any time within five years following the date of termination of the arrangement.

 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	11.1.	Unsecured Creditor 

 A Participant or his
Beneficiary under this Plan shall have solely those rights of an unsecured creditor of such Participant’s Employer. An Employer shall have no liability to pay benefits to a Participant who was not its Employee or to the Beneficiary of a
Participant who was not its Employee. Except to the extent otherwise provided in any trust established by the Employer to pay Plan benefits, as described in Section 11.2, no assets of the Employer shall be deemed to be held in trust for any
Participant or his Beneficiary, nor shall any assets be considered security for the performance of obligations of the Employer and said assets shall at all times remain unpledged, unrestricted general assets of the Employer. The Employer’s
obligation under the Plan shall be an unsecured and unfunded promise to pay at a future date benefits to or on behalf of its Employees who are Participants. 
  

	11.2.	Unfunded Plan 

 The Employer may, in its sole
discretion, contribute assets to a trust fund in order to pay some or all benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries. However, no funds or assets shall be segregated or physically set aside with respect to the Employer’s obligations under
the Plan in a manner which would cause the Plan to be “funded” for purposes of ERISA. This Plan shall be maintained to provide supplemental retirement benefits for a select group of management and highly compensated employees. Any
Participant’s Account under the Plan is maintained for recordkeeping purposes only and is not to be construed as funded for tax or ERISA purposes. If the Employer establishes a trust fund in connection with the Plan, the assets of such trust
fund shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employer in the event that the Employer becomes insolvent. 
  

	11.3.	Non-Assignability 

 A Participant or Beneficiary
shall not have any right to commute, sell, pledge, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive any payment under this Plan. The right to any payment of benefits shall be non-assignable and non-transferable. Except to the extent
required by law, right to payment shall not be subject to legal process or levy of any kind. 
  

	11.4.	Not a Contract of Employment 

 The terms and
conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Employer and the Participant, and the Participant (or his Beneficiary) shall have no rights against the Employer except as may otherwise be specifically
provided herein. Moreover, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discipline or discharge him at any time. 
  

 -18- 









	11.5.	Receipt or Release 

 Any payment to any Participant
or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan Administrator, the Company and all Employers as they relate to the benefits under this Plan, and the
Plan Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. 
  

	11.6.	Governing Law 

 The provisions of this Plan shall be
construed and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America. 
  

	11.7.	Binding Agreement 

 This Plan shall be binding on
the parties hereto, their heirs, executors, administrators, and successors in interest. 
  

	11.8.	Invalidity of Certain Provisions 

 If any provision
of this Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. 
  

	11.9.	Incapacity 

 In the event that any Participant is
unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due may be paid to the Participant’s spouse, parent, brother, sister or other person deemed by the Plan Administrator to have incurred expenses for the care of such
Participant, unless a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative has been appointed. 
  

	11.10.	Forfeiture 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan, any payment or distribution to a Participant under the Plan which is not claimed by the Participant, Beneficiary, or other person entitled thereto within three years after becoming payable shall be forfeited and canceled and shall remain
with the Company and no other person shall have any right thereto or interest therein. None of the Plan Administrator, the Company nor any Employer shall have any duty to give notice that amounts are payable under the Plan to any person other than
the Participant. 
  

	11.11.	Headings Not Part of Agreement 

 Headings and
subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof 
  

 -19- 









	11.12.	Masculine, Feminine, Singular and Plural 

 The
masculine shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular wherever the person or entity or context shall plainly so require. 
  

	11.13.	Withholding of Taxes 

 It is the intent of the
Employer that amounts accrued under the Plan shall not be subject to federal income tax until distributed from the Plan. However, the Employer does not guarantee or warrant that Plan benefits will be excludable from a Participant’s gross income
for federal or state income tax purposes until distributed, and the Participant (or beneficiary) shall in all cases be liable for any taxes due on benefits attributable to such Participant or beneficiary. 
 The Employer shall make appropriate arrangements to (a) withhold FICA/FUTA taxes due on amounts accrued and vested under the Plan and
(b) withhold federal and state income taxes due on amounts distributed from the Plan. Further, the Employer may make appropriate arrangements to withhold for any other taxes required to be withheld by any government or governmental agency.

  

	11.14.	Number of Counterparts 

 This Plan may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when duly executed by the Employer shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one instrument, which may be evidenced by any counterpart.
