“2018 PSU Measurement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs prior to the 2018 PSU Measurement Date, the number of Shares earned in accordance with the chart below will be determined as of the date of

shall be earned at “target” performance level (in accordance with the chart below). The number of Shares that are actually earned will be determined on the second anniversary of the Effective Date and will be based on the Average Stock

“Measurement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs prior to the 2019 PSU Measurement Date, the number of Shares earned in accordance with the chart below will be determined as of the date of such
Change of Control based on the price per Share paid in connection with the Change of Control. 

  

	•	 	Performance Goals. The number of Shares earned under the PSU Award pursuant to fiscal years 2018 and 2019 will be determined in accordance with the table below and straight line interpolation will be applied to

the first anniversary of the applicable Measurement Date and settled as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) business days following the first anniversary of the applicable Measurement Date, subject to your continued
employment on each applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) with respect to the 2018 PSU Award, the number of such Shares earned in connection with a Change of Control shall become vested on the date of such Change of Control
and settled as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) business days following the date of such Change of Control and (ii) with respect to the 2019 PSU Award, a pro-rated number of
such Shares earned in connection with a Change of Control, based on the number of days you were employed between the first anniversary of the Effective Date and the date of such Change of Control, shall become vested on the date of such Change of
Control and settled as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) business days following the date of such Change of Control and the remaining portion of such Shares earned shall convert into time-based RSUs and vest on the 2019
Measurement Date, subject to your continued employment through the 2019 Measurement Date.

	 	•	 	In the event of a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) with respect to the 2018 PSU Award, the number of Shares earned pursuant to the 2018 PSU Award will be determined as of the date of such Qualifying Termination

preliminary, and/or or permanent injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement, without the necessity of
showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The Company may pursue any remedy available, including declaratory relief, concurrently or
consecutively in any order, and the pursuit of one such remedy at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other remedy. In addition, in the event of a breach by the Executive of any provision of this

such cooperation, the Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Company with respect to Executive’s
compliance with this Section 8. In the event Executive is subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any Government Entity) to give testimony or provide documents (in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise), that
in any way relates to Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will give prompt notice of such subpoena to the Company and will make no disclosure until the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting
person or entity to such disclosure. Nothing in this Section 8 shall limit Executive’s right to make Permitted Disclosures as provided in Section 1(c).

 EXHIBIT C 

FORM OF RELEASE 
 As used
in this Release of Claims (this “Release”), the term “claims” will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’
fees, judgments, losses, and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, in equity, or otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in my Letter Agreement, dated April 18, 2018, and to which
this Release is attached as an Exhibit (the “Letter Agreement”). 
 I intend the release contained herein to be a general
release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law. 
 For and in consideration of the foregoing, and other payments and
benefits described in the Letter Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration (the “Consideration”), I, Thomas Marano, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective the date on
which this Release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”), together with their respective current and former
officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, fiduciaries, employees, representatives, successors, assigns, and agents of the aforementioned (collectively, and with the Company Group, the “Company Parties”) from any and all
claims, complaints, charges, liabilities, demands, causes of action (whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent) whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Company Parties, for or by reason of any matter,
cause, or thing whatsoever, including any right or claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company or otherwise, whether for (by way of example only) tort, breach of express or implied
employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, slander, claims for personal injury, harm, or other damages (whether intentional or unintentional and whether occurring on
the job or not including, without limitation, negligence, misrepresentation, fraud, assault, battery, invasion of privacy, and other such claims) or under any U.S. federal, state, or local law, ordinance, rule, regulation or common law dealing with
employment, including, but not limited to, discrimination in employment based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the
Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the

 Control Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the National Labor Relations Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all other U.S.
federal, state, and local laws, regulations or ordinances, the common law, and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate the employment of employees. 

I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could
give rise to any claims, including any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph. 
 By executing this Release, I
specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a U.S. federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Release shall be a waiver of: (i) any claim by me to enforce the terms of this Release or
the Letter Agreement; (ii) any claims that cannot be waived by law including, without limitation, any claims filed with any Governmental Entity or claims under the ADEA that arise after the date of this Agreement; (iii) my right of
indemnification and D&O coverage by virtue of my service as an officer, whether by agreement, common law, statute or pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date; (iv) any contributions I have made or any
vested contributions made by any of the Company Parties to a defined contribution plan sponsored or maintained by a Company Party or (v) any claim by me in my capacity and related to my interests as a shareholder of the Company. While this
Release does not prevent me from filing a charge with any Governmental Entity, I agree that I will not be entitled to or accept any personal recovery in any action or proceeding that may be commenced on my behalf arising out of the matters released
hereby, including but not limited to, any charge filed with the EEOC or any other Governmental Entity that prohibits the waiver of the right to file a charge; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude my right to receive an award from a
Governmental Entity for information provided under any whistleblower program. 
 I acknowledge and agree that by virtue of the foregoing, I
have waived any relief available (including, without limitation, monetary damages, equitable relief, and reinstatement) under any of the claims and/or causes of action waived in this Release. Therefore, I agree not to accept any award, settlement,
or relief (including legal or equitable relief) from any source or proceeding (including but not limited to any proceeding brought by any other person or by any Governmental Entity) with respect to any claim or right waived in this Release. 

I represent and warrant that I have not previously filed any action, grievance, arbitration, complaint, charge, lawsuit or similar proceedings
regarding any of the claims released herein against any of the Company Parties.

 I hereby agree to waive any and all
claims to re-employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any other member of the Company Group. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release will not become effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of

Provided that the Release is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) day following the date on which this Release is executed shall be its effective date (the “Release Effective Date”). I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this
Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company Group will have any obligations to pay me the Consideration. 

The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, assigns, and
successors. If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however,
shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release. 
 THIS RELEASE SHALL BE
INTERPRETED UNDER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS. I HEREBY AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OVER THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR APPLICATION OF THIS RELEASE THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION
PURSUANT TO THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”). THE ARBITRATION WILL BE HEARD BY ONE ARBITRATOR TO BE CHOSEN AS PROVIDED BY THE RULES OF THE AAA AND SHALL BE HELD IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. IF THIS RELEASE IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE BY THE ARBITRATOR, I AGREE TO EXECUTE A BINDING REPLACEMENT RELEASE.
