 Section 2.1 The Loan; Principal
Amount. 
 (a) The Lender hereby agrees to lend to the Borrower such amount, and at such time, as shall be determined under this
Section 2.1; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount lent under this Loan Agreement from time to time exceed the greater of
(i) $                     or (ii) the aggregate amount paid by the Borrower to purchase up to
                     shares of Common Stock. 
 (b) Subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(a), the Borrower shall determine the amounts borrowed under this Agreement, and the time at which such borrowings are effected. Each such determination shall be
evidenced in a writing which shall set forth the amount to be borrowed and the date on which the Lender shall disburse such amount, and such writing shall be furnished to the Lender by notice from the Borrower. The Lender shall disburse to the
Borrower the amount specified in each such notice on the date specified therein or, if later, as promptly as practicable following the Lender’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the Lender shall have no obligation to disburse
funds pursuant to this Agreement following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default until such time as such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured. 
 (c) For all purposes of this Loan Agreement, the Principal Amount on any date shall be equal to the excess, if any, of: 
  

	 	(i)	the aggregate amount disbursed by the Lender pursuant to section 2.1(b) on or before such date; over 

  

	 	(ii)	the aggregate amount of any repayments of such amounts made before such date. 

 The Lender shall maintain on the Register a record of, and shall record in the Promissory Note, the Principal Amount, any changes in the Principal Amount and the effective date of any changes in the Principal Amount. 
 Section 2.2 Interest. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest on the Principal Amount, for the period commencing with the first disbursement of funds under this Loan Agreement and continuing until the Principal Amount shall be paid in full, at the rate
of                      percent
(                    %) per annum. Interest payable under this Agreement shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring during the period to which the computation relates.

 (b) Accrued interest on the Principal Amount shall be payable by the Borrower on the dates set forth in
Schedule I to the Promissory Note. All interest on the Principal Amount shall be paid by the Borrower in immediately available funds. 
 (c)
Anything in the Loan Agreement or the Promissory Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the
Lender to the extent that the Lender’s receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender. Any such payment referred to in the
preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged
or collected by the Lender. Such deferred interest shall not bear interest. 
 Section 2.3 Promissory Note. 
 The Loan shall be evidenced by the Promissory Note of the Borrower attached hereto as an exhibit payable to the order of the lender in the Principal
Amount and otherwise duly completed. 
 Section 2.4 Payment of Trust Loan. 
 The Principal Amount of the Loan shall be repaid in accordance with Schedule I to the Promissory Note on the dates specified therein until fully paid.

 Section 2.5 Prepayment. 
 The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Loan in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall give notice to the Lender of any such prepayment; and provided,
further, that any partial prepayment of the Loan shall be in an amount not less than $1,000. Any such prepayment shall be: (a) permanent and irrevocable; (b) accompanied by all accrued interest through the date of such prepayment;
(c) made without premium or penalty; and (d) applied on the inverse order of the maturity of the installment thereof unless the Lender and the Borrower agree to apply such prepayments in some other order. 
 Section 2.6 Methods of Payment. 
 (a) All payments of principal, interest, other charges (including indemnities) and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, to the Lender at the
address specified in or pursuant to this Loan Agreement for notices to the Lender, on the date on which such payment shall become due. Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall, if the amount paid bears interest, and except as
expressly provided to the contrary herein, be deemed to have been made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon until, the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on a day other than
a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and when paid, such payment shall include interest to the day on which payment is in fact made. 
  

 3 








 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or the Promissory Note, the
Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payment, repayment or pre-payment on the Promissory Note if doing so would cause the ESOP to cease to be an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of section 4975(e)(7) of the Code or qualified
under section 401(a) of the Code or cause the Borrower to cease to be a tax exempt trust under section 501(a) of the Code or if such act or failure to act would cause the Borrower to engage in any “prohibited transaction” as such term is
defined in the section 4975(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder which is not exempted by section 4975(c)(2) or (d) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder or in section 406 of ERISA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder which is not exempted by section 408(b) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that in each case, the Borrower, may act or refrain from acting pursuant to this section 2.6(b) on the basis of an
opinion of counsel, and any opinion of such counsel. The Borrower may consult with counsel, and any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel. Nothing contained in this section 2.6(b) shall be construed as imposing a duty on the Borrower to consult with counsel. Any obligation of the Borrower to make any payment, repayment or
prepayment on the Promissory Note or refrain from taking any other act hereunder or under the Promissory Note which is excused pursuant to this section 2.6(b) shall be considered a binding obligation of the Borrower, or both, as the case may be, for
the purposes of determining whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under the Promissory Note and nothing in this section 2.6(b) shall be construed as providing a defense to any remedies otherwise available upon a Default or
an Event of Default hereunder (other than the remedy of specific performance). 
 Section 2.7 Use of Proceeds of Loan.

 The entire proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely for acquiring shares of Common Stock, and for no other purpose whatsoever.

 Section 2.8 Security. 
 (a) In order to secure the due payment and performance by the Borrower of all of its obligations under this Loan Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall: 
  

	 	(i)	pledge to the Lender as Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and grant to the Lender a first priority lien on and security interest in, the Common Stock purchased with
the Principal Amount, by the execution and delivery to the lender of the Pledge Agreement attached hereto as an exhibit; and 

  

	 	(ii)	execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other agreement, instruments and documents as the Lender may reasonably require in order to effect the purposes of
the Pledge Agreement and this Loan Agreement. 

 (b) The Lender shall release from encumbrance under the Pledge Agreement and
transfer to the Borrower, as of the date on which any payment or repayment of the Principal Amount is made, a number of shares of Common Stock held as Collateral determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the ESOP.

 Section 2.9 Registration of the Promissory Note. 
 (a) The Lender shall maintain a Register providing for the registration of the Principal Amount and any stated interest and of transfer and exchange of
the Promissory Note. Transfer of the Promissory Note may be effected only by the surrender of the old instrument and either the reissuance by the Borrower of the old instrument to the new holder or the issuance by the Borrower of a new instrument to
the new holder. The old Promissory Note so surrendered shall be canceled by the Lender and returned to the Borrower after such cancellation. 
 (b) Any new Promissory Note issued pursuant to section 2.9(a) shall carry the same rights to interest (unpaid and to accrue) carried by the Promissory Note so transferred or exchanged so that there will not be any loss or gain of interest
on the note surrender. Such new Promissory Note shall be subject to all of the provisions and entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration or transfer, the Borrower may deem and treat the registered
holder of any Promissory Note as the holder thereof for purposes of payment and other purposes. A notation shall be made on each new Promissory Note of the amount of all payments of principal and interest theretofore paid.

 Section 3.5 Purchase of Common Stock. 
 Upon consummation of any purchase of Common Stock by the Borrower with the proceeds of the Loan, the Borrower shall acquire valid, legal and marketable
title to all of the Common Stock so purchased, free and clear of any liens, other than a pledge to the Lender of the Common Stock so purchased pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents nor the

party or by which it is bound or any of its properties is affected. No consent of any federal, state, or local governmental authority, agency, or other regulatory body, the absence of which could have a materially adverse effect on the Borrower or

the ESOP sponsor may make contributions to the ESOP in an amount necessary to enable the Trustee to amortize the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note; provided, however, that no such contributions shall be required if they would
adversely affect the qualification of the ESOP under section 401(a) of the Code. 
 Section 3.7 Trustee. 
 The trustee of the ESOP has been duly appointed by the ESOP sponsor. 
 Section 3.8 Compliance with Laws; Actions. 
 Neither the execution and delivery by the
Borrower of this Loan Agreement or any instruments required thereby, nor compliance with the terms and provisions of any such documents by the lender, constitutes a violation of any provision of any law or any regulation, order, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or an event of default under any agreement, to which the Borrower is a party, to which the Borrower is bound or to which the Borrower is subject, which violation or event of default would have a
material adverse effect on the Borrower. There is no action or proceeding pending or threatened against either the ESOP or the Borrower before any court or administrative agency.

times provided therefor, any such amount and shall indemnify the Lender against and hold it harmless from any loss or damage resulting from or arising out of the nonpayment or delay in payment of any such amount. If any amounts as to which the
Borrower has so indemnified the Lender hereunder shall be assessed or levied against the Lender, the Lender may notify the Borrower and make immediate payment thereof, together with interest or penalties in connection therewith, and shall thereupon
be entitled to and shall receive immediate reimbursement therefor from the Borrower, together with interest on each such amount as provided for in section 2.2(c). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Loan Agreement, the covenants

 All payments hereunder and under the Promissory Note shall be

obligations under the Loan Documents shall be without regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever which the Borrower may have
against the Lender and without regard to any other obligation of any nature whatsoever which the Lender may have to the Borrower, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by the Borrower in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by
the Lender for payment or performance of such obligations.

Section 54.4975-7(b)(8), as the same may be from time to time amended or supplemented, and the applicable provisions of the ESOP. Subject to such Regulations, the Pledgee may from time to time, after any Default or Event of Default, and without
prior notice to the Pledgor, transfer all or any part of the Eligible Collateral in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, without disclosing that such Eligible Collateral is subject to any rights of the Pledgor and may from time to time, whether
before or after any of the Liabilities shall become due and payable, without notice to the Pledgor, take all or any of the following actions: (i) notify the parties obligated on any of the Eligible Collateral to make payment to the Pledgee of
any amounts due or due to become due thereunder, (ii) release or exchange all or any part of the Eligible Collateral, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature
of any party with respect thereto, and (iii) take control of any proceeds of the Eligible Collateral. 
 Section 5. Delivery.

 (a) The Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee upon execution of this Pledge Agreement (i) either (A) certificates for the
Pledged Shares, each certificate duly signed in blank by the Pledgor or accompanied by a stock transfer power duly signed in blank by the Pledgor and each such certificate accompanied by all required documentary or stock transfer tax stamps or
(B) if the Trustee does not yet have possession of the Pledged Shares, an assignment by the Pledgor of all the Pledgor’s rights to and interest in the Pledged Shares and (ii) an irrevocable proxy, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Pledgee, signed by the Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Shares. 
 (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, (i) the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the
Pledgor shall be entitled to receive any and all cash dividends or other distributions paid in respect of the Collateral.

 Section 6. Events of Default. 
 (a) If a Default or Event of Default shall be existing, in addition to the rights it may have under the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note, and this
Pledge Agreement, or by virtue of any other instrument, (i) the Pledgee may exercise, with respect to the Eligible Collateral, from time to time, any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time
to time in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or otherwise available to it and (ii) the Pledgee shall have the right, for and in the name, place and stead of the Pledgor, to execute endorsement, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Eligible Collateral. Written notification of intended disposition of any of the Eligible Collateral shall be given by the Pledgee to the Pledgor at least three (3) Business Days before
such disposition. Subject to section 13 below, any proceeds of any disposition of Eligible Collateral may be applied by the Pledgee to the payment of expenses in connection with the Eligible Collateral, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the Pledgee toward the payment of such of the Liabilities as are in Default, and in such order of application, as the Pledgee may from time to time elect. No
action of the Pledgee permitted hereunder shall impair or affect its rights in and to the Eligible Collateral. All rights and remedies of the Pledgee expressed hereunder are in addition to all other rights and remedies possessed by it, including,
without limitation, those contained in the documents referred to in the definition of Liabilities in section 1 hereof. 
 (b) In any sale of
any of the Eligible Collateral after a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Pledgee is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel if necessary in
order to avoid violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers or further restrict such prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who
will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Eligible Collateral), or in order to obtain such required approval of the sale or of the purchase by any
governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale’s being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Pledgee be
liable or accountable to the Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Eligible Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 
 Section 7. Payment in Full. Upon the payment in full of all outstanding Liabilities, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate and the Pledgee
shall forthwith assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to the Pledgee, all Collateral then held by the Pledgee pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. 
 Section 8. No Waiver. No failure or delay in the part of the Pledgee in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other document
which confers or grants any rights to the Pledgee in respect of the Liabilities shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or remedy of the Pledgee. 
 Section 9. Binding Effect; No Assignment or Delegation. This Pledge Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Pledgee and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Pledgor may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Pledgee (which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld). Each duty or obligation of the Pledgor to the Pledgee pursuant to the provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be performed in favor of any person or entity designated by the
