Chemicals, Inc. is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and the said Supplementary Pension Plan, as so revised and restated, shall apply only to an Employee whose Separation from Service occurs on or after 1 August 2014. The rights and

persons under the Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees.

 Section 2.3 The masculine pronoun whenever used herein shall include the feminine.
The singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular whenever used herein, unless the context otherwise requires. 

ARTICLE 3 
 BENEFITS

 Section 3.1 Eligibility and Vesting. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 6.2, an Employee shall be entitled to receive benefits
under this Plan if such person shall be entitled to receive a benefit under the Salaried Pension Plan. Benefits under this Plan shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof and shall be subject to the limitations herein provided.

 Section 3.2 Amount of Benefits. The amount of the benefit to be paid to an Employee or any other person entitled to receive a
benefit hereunder shall be equal to the amount of the benefit such person would have received under the Salaried Pension Plan (without regard to the limitations under Sections 401(a)(17), and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code) if such benefit were
calculated using Average Compensation calculated pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, and then reduced by the amount of the actual benefit payable to such person under the Salaried Pension Plan and further reduced by any amount previously paid under
this Plan. For purposes of this Section, if an Employee has a Separation from Service prior to attaining age 55 and is subsequently reemployed by the Company and such reemployment continues at the Employee’s age 55, the benefit such Employee
will be entitled to receive at age 55 based on his or her prior Separation from Service shall be calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 of the Salaried Pension Plan. The normal form of benefit under Section 4.1 of the
Salaried Pension Plan shall be employed as the 

  
 7 








 
basis for making computations under this Section 3.2 in order to insure the attaining for such purpose of equivalency between the various forms of benefits provided by the Salaried Pension
Plan and this Plan, regardless of whether an optional form of benefit has been selected under Article V of the Salaried Pension Plan and/or under Section 3.6 of this Plan. 

Section 3.3 Employee Compensation. For purposes of computing an Employee’s benefit in accordance with Section 3.2
hereof, the Employee’s Average Compensation shall be the monthly average of the Compensation of the Employee for the 36 consecutive months (or total consecutive months if he or she was employed by an Employer for less than 36 months) calculated
to include any months while on leave of absence, if such months would be considered in the Average Compensation in the Salaried Pension Plan, in which his Compensation was the highest during the 120 months nearest preceding his Separation from
Service (or during the total period of employment if he or she was employed by an Employer less than 120 months). For this purpose, an Employee’s Compensation for any period shall be equal to the sum of (a) his “Compensation” for
such period as defined in Article I of the Salaried Pension Plan, provided that no limitation based on Code Section 401(a)(17) shall apply, (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the Employee’s Incentive Compensation allocated to such
period in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof and (c) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of annual salary deferred by the Employee under the Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Supplementary Savings Plan on or before
September 1, 2006 and the Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan thereafter, which amount, but for such deferral election, would have been received by the Employee as annual salary during such period. 

Section 3.4 Allocation of Incentive Compensation. For the purpose of computing the Employee’s Compensation in accordance with
Section 3.3 hereof, all Incentive Compensation shall be allocated to the period for which the 

  
 8 








 
Incentive Compensation was awarded to the Employee by the Employer, notwithstanding actual distribution of the Incentive Compensation at a later time. The total dollar value of Incentive
Compensation awards shall be allocated in equal amounts to each month of the period for which the award was made. 
 Section 3.5
Payment of Benefits. 
  

	(a)	Benefits shall be payable under the Plan on the first of the month following Separation from Service; provided that, for Employees who have a Separation from Service prior to attaining age fifty-five (55) but have
not yet received benefits under this Plan, the following rules apply: 

  

	 	i.	For such Employees who have not attained age fifty-five (55) prior to 1 January 2009, benefits shall be payable on the first of the month after the Employee attains age fifty-five (55) even if such
Employee has subsequently returned to employment with the Company, except as provided for small benefits in Section 3.9. 

  

	 	ii.	For such Employees who have attained age fifty-five (55) prior to 1 January 2009, benefits will be payable on 1 January 2009 even if such Employee has subsequently returned to employment with the Company,
except as provided in (iii) below and for small benefits in Section 3.9. 

  

	 	iii.	Notwithstanding the above, for such Employees who (x) attain age fifty-five (55) during calendar year 2008 and who are eligible for a pension bridge under Article 3A of this Plan or Section 3.2 of the
Salaried Pension Plan, or (y) attain age sixty-five (65) during calendar year 2008, benefits will be payable on the date the Employee attains age 55 or 65, respectively. 


  
 9 








 Notwithstanding the above, benefits to Employees for whom the Company has purchased annuities
from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company to fund their benefit under the Salaried Pension Plan shall be payable under this Plan on the first of the month after the Employee attains age sixty-five (65). Payment of benefits will commence
within 90 days of the Employee’s satisfying the conditions therefore (the first day of which shall be the Annuity Starting Date for purposes of Section 409A), and upon the Employee’s proper application therefore or the Plan
Administrator’s determination of the Employee’s eligibility to commence benefits according to elections previously filed, except for small benefits as described in Section 3.9(a). The Plan will not be responsible for any delays or the
costs or taxes associated with any delays that result from the Employee’s failure to make proper application for benefits or for delays associated with the normal processing of benefit payments. For benefit payments commencing before
1 October 2006, benefits shall be paid in the Primary Form of Benefit as determined in Section 5.2 of the Salaried Pension Plan, unless the Employee shall elect to have an optional form of benefit in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.6A hereof. For benefit payments commencing on or after 1 October 2006, benefits shall be paid in a lump sum form of benefit described in Section 3.6(b) below unless the Employee shall elect to have benefits paid as an
annuity in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof in which case, the Employee may elect the form of the annuity as described in Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c) of the Salaried Pension Plan. All payments of benefits shall be
subject to Federal income and such other tax withholding as required by applicable law. 
  

	(b)	 Notwithstanding the above, a distribution to an Employee who at the time of his or her Separation from Service is a Key Employee shall not be made or
commence before the date which is six months after the occurrence of such Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of 



  
 10 









	 	
death of such Key Employee). If the form of benefit elected by such Key Employee is a lump sum, such lump sum shall be increased to reflect the delayed payment in accordance with the Plan
Administrator’s procedures for such adjustments, and if the form of benefit is an annuity, the Key Employee will receive, on the delayed payment date, all payments that would have been made during the period of delay, adjusted for the delay in
accordance with the Plan Administrator’s procedures for such adjustments. The discount rate as described in Section 3.6(b)(ii) as it would have applied on the Annuity Starting Date shall be used to adjust the delayed distributions to Key
Employees. 

  

	(c)	If, following a Separation from Service, the Employee continues or resumes accrual of a benefit under the Salaried Pension Plan that would increase the total benefit payable under this Plan, such additional benefit will
be paid or will commence payment in accordance with the election made under Section 3.6 of this Plan either through an increase in any annuity payment being made to the Employee or via an additional lump sum, and such increase or such
additional lump sum will be paid following subsequent Separation from Service in accordance with the provisions in this Section 3.5 or, if upon a Change in Control, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10. 


Section 3.6 Optional Forms of Retirement Benefit. 
  

	(a)	An Employee may elect as provided in Section 3.6A or 3.7, as applicable, to have distribution of any benefits otherwise payable in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof made in: 


 

	 	(i)	Options A, B or C as set forth in such Section 5.2 of the Salaried Pension Plan, substituting the benefit determined under Section 3.2 above for the benefit determined under Article IV of the Salaried Plan, or


  

	 	(ii)	a lump sum form of benefit described below in this Section 3.6. 


  
 11 









	(b)	Subject to satisfaction of the procedures set forth below in Section 3.6A(b) or 3.7, an Employee who so elects will have distribution of his benefit under the Plan made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment
calculated by converting the benefit determined under Section 3.2 into a single cash payment, using the following assumptions: 

  

	 	(i)	For distributions prior to 20 September 2000, the mortality assumptions to determine life expectancy shall be the mortality table or tables used by the actuary as the basis for preparing the annual actuarial
valuation for the Salaried Pension Plan for the Plan Year immediately preceding the Employee’s Retirement and, for distributions made on or after 20 September 2000, the mortality assumptions used for this purpose shall be determined from a
unisex version of the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table; provided that, with respect to any Employee who had an accrued benefit in the Plan as of 20 September 2000, the single cash payment shall be the greater of the amount calculated using
the pre-September 20, 2000 mortality assumptions or the September 20, 2000 or later mortality assumptions; and 

  

	 	(ii)	The discount rate used to determine the lump sum actuarial present value of the primary form of benefit shall be the yield for AAA Municipal Bonds as published periodically by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. in
Moody’s Bond Survey, such rate to be based on the average yield of the three (3) months immediately preceding the ninety (90) day period prior to the Annuity Starting Date for the benefit. 


  
 12 








 In case the above measure is no longer in use or available, the Committee will select a
comparable alternative. 
 If the Employee elects an annuity under section3.6(a)(i) above and does not elect the form of an annuity prior to
the Annuity Starting Date, the Employee shall be deemed to have elected Option B as set forth in Section 5.2 of the Salaried Pension Plan, substituting the benefit determined under Section 3.2 above for the benefit determined under Article
IV of the Salaried Pension Plan. 
 Section 3.6A Election of Benefit Form Prior to 1 October 2006. 

For Annuity Starting Dates occurring prior to 1 October 2006, the following procedures shall apply for election of optional forms of
benefit. 
  

	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below as to the lump sum form of benefit, the same election of form of benefit procedures and terms and conditions as are in effect under the Salaried Pension Plan
shall be in effect under the Plan including that, if the Employee is married on the Annuity Starting Date, the Primary Form of Benefit shall take the form of Option A as provided in Section 5.2 of the Salaried Pension Plan, notwithstanding that
a different form of benefit may be selected by such Employee for the distribution of benefits under the Salaried Pension Plan and under this Plan 

  

	(b)	An Employee may elect a lump sum form of benefit subject to the following rules. 

  

	 	(i)	Employee Statement. To elect a lump sum, the Employee will be required to furnish a written statement that he forgoes any future ad hoc or other increases in benefits paid under the Plan. 


  
 13 









	 	(ii)	Spousal Consent. The Employee may elect a lump sum, a single life benefit or may specify a beneficiary other than a spouse without spousal consent. 


 

	 	(iii)	Committee Approval. The Committee, through the Plan Administrator, will have the right to disapprove and suspend any and all elections of a lump sum form of benefit if payment of the Employee’s Plan benefit
in such form would adversely affect the Company. 

  

	 	(iv)	Further Administrative Procedures. The Plan Administrator shall from time to time adopt such additional procedures as he, in his discretion, shall determine to be necessary or appropriate for the proper
administration of elections, approvals and payment of Plan benefits in lump sum form, including procedures as to the timing of payment thereof, taking into consideration when information as to the Employee’s final Incentive Compensation for
services rendered to the date of his Retirement is first available. Such procedures shall be binding on Employees and the Company for all purposes of the Plan. 


Section 3.7 Election of Benefit Form On or After 1 October 2006 

For Annuity Starting Dates occurring on or after 1 October 2006, the following procedures shall apply for election of optional forms of
benefit. 
  

	(a)	 Employees participating in the Plan as of 30 September 2006 who do not have their Annuity Starting Date prior to 1 October 2006 must elect
the form of distribution of their Plan benefit prior to 1 October 2006. Such Employees will be given the opportunity to elect an annuity form of benefit or a lump sum form of benefit described in Section 3.6(b) in the manner determined by
the Plan Administrator. Such distribution election shall be 



  
 14 









	 	
with respect to an Employee’s entire Plan benefit, whether accrued prior to or after 1 October 2006. Such distribution election shall become irrevocable when accepted by the Plan
Administrator. 

  

	(b)	An Employee who first becomes an Employee on or after October 1, 2006 shall make an irrevocable election as to the form of distribution of their benefit within 30 days of becoming an Employee in a manner determined
by the Plan Administrator. If no distribution election is made by the Employee within 30 days of becoming eligible, benefits under the Plan shall be payable in a lump sum form of benefit described in Section 3.6(b). 


 

	(c)	Notwithstanding the above, effective 28 April 2008 through 30 May 2008, Employees will be given an opportunity, in the manner determined by the Plan Administrator, to make a change to a previous election to
receive an annuity form of benefit or a lump sum form of benefit described in Section 3.6(a). However, this opportunity does not apply to the following Employees: 


(i) An Employee who first becomes an Employee on or after 1 January 2008; 

(ii) An Employee whose benefits commence prior to 1 January 2009; and 

(iii) An Employee for whom the Company has purchased annuities from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company to fund
their benefit under the Salaried Pension Plan. 
 Section 3.8 Pre-Retirement Spousal Benefits. If an Employee dies prior to his or her Annuity
Starting Date, a pre-Retirement spousal benefit shall be payable to the Employee’s surviving spouse, if any, in the same form as that elected by the Employee, commencing the first of the month following the later of the Employee’s death or
the date the Employee would have attained (i) age 50, if the Employee was actively employed by the Company at time of death or if the 

  
 15 








 
Employee died while performing qualified military service if the Employee is entitled to early retirement benefits under Section 3.2(c), (d), (e) or (f) of the Salaried Pension
Plan or Article 3A of this Plan, or (ii) age 55. The amount of the benefit shall be calculated in the same manner as provided in Section 5.7 or 5.10 of the Salaried Pension Plan except substituting the benefit determined under
Section 3.2 above for the benefit determined under Article IV of the Salaried Pension Plan. 
 If a former Key Employee dies after his or her Annuity
Starting Date but prior to the delayed payment date of his or her benefit described in Section 3.5(b) above, the Employee’s spouse shall receive a distribution within 90 days of the Employee’s death of the benefit payments that would
have been payable to the Employee on and after the Annuity Starting Date had the payment not been delayed, adjusted for the delayed payment. 

Section 3.9 Small Benefit Payment Procedures. 
  

	(a)	Notwithstanding Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.6A and 3.7 above, if an Employee’s benefit has an aggregate actuarial present value of less than $10,000 at the time of the Employee’s Separation from Service, or the
monthly amount payable if the benefit were distributed in a single life annuity commencing on the Normal Retirement Date would be less than $100 per month, the payment of such benefit shall be made by payment of a single lump sum within 90 days of
the Employee’s Separation from Service, in which case the lump sum amount so paid shall be the actuarial present value of the monthly benefit. 

  

	(b)	 For purposes of this Section 3.9, if an Employee Separates from Service prior to his or her Early Retirement Date, the same actuarial present
value of any benefit will be calculated using the mortality table set forth in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 (2001-53 IRB 1) and the rate of interest on 30-year

Treasury securities as specified by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service for June of the prior Plan Year. If an Employee Separates from Service on or after his or her Early Retirement
Date, the same actuarial factors and assumptions as are employed under Section 3.6(b) of the Plan shall be used to calculate the actuarial present value of any benefit for purposes of this Section 3.9. 


Section 3.10 Change in Control. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Article 3, upon a Change in Control, an Employee
shall have an immediate, nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit under the Plan and shall receive an immediate lump sum payment of such. This payment shall not affect his or her continued eligibility under the Plan; however, his or her
Accrued Benefit under the Plan shall be reduced by the amount paid out. 
 ARTICLE 3A 

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, certain employees of the Employer shall be entitled to receive a special
supplemental benefit under the Plan in accordance with the following provisions: 
  

	(a)	Any Participant in the Salaried Pension Plan who: 

  

	 	(i)	Would be described in Section 3.2(c) of the Salaried Pension Plan text except that such Participant was a Highly Compensated Employee at the time of his or her Separation from Service; or 


 

	 	(ii)	Would be described in Section 3.2(d) of the Salaried Pension Plan text except that such Participant was a Highly Compensated Employee Separated from Service after 1 January 2001 and notified of such Separation
from Service prior to 1 July 2002 shall be entitled to a benefit under this Plan as follows: 

  

	(b)	 The amount of the benefit shall be the difference between the monthly retirement benefit the Participant receives under Section 3.4 of the




  
 17 









	 	
Salaried Pension Plan and the benefit the Participant would have received under Section 3.2 of the Salaried Pension Plan had he or she Separated from Service on or after his or her Early
Retirement Date. 

  

	(c)	If such a Participant is not an Employee for purposes of this Plan, such a Participant shall be treated as an Employee for purposes of this Plan except for purposes of Sections 3.1-3.4; provided that such a Participant
whose Separation from Service occurred prior to 1 January 2000 shall not be treated as an Employee for purposes of Subsections 3.6(a)(ii), 3.6(b), or 3.6A(b). 


ARTICLE 4 

ADMINISTRATION 

Section 4.1 Plan Administration and Interpretation. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall have full power and authority to administer the Plan and interpret the Plan in a manner which is as consistent with the interpretations of similar provisions in the Salaried Pension Plan as the context reasonably permits. The
Plan Administrator’s powers shall include, by way of illustration and not limitation, the discretionary authority and power to construe and interpret the Plan provisions, decide all questions of eligibility for benefits, and determine the
amount, time, and manner of payments of any benefits and to authorize the payment of benefits hereunder, except to the extent such powers have been given to the Committee pursuant to Section 4.2 below or otherwise. The Plan Administrator may
appoint one or more individuals or committees to assist him in carrying out his duties and responsibilities under the Plan and may adopt rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and alter, amend, or revoke any rules or regulations so
adopted. The decisions of the Plan Administrator or his delegates shall be final and binding on the Company, the Employers, the Employees, and their beneficiaries.

 Section 4.2 Claim and Appeal Procedure. 

 

	(a)	Claim Procedure. In the event of a claim by an Employee or an Employee’s beneficiary for or in respect of any benefit under the Plan or the method of payment thereof, such Employee or beneficiary shall
present the reason for his claim in writing to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such written claim, send written notification to the Employee or beneficiary as to its
disposition, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of
the initial ninety (90) day period. In no event, however, shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of
time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the final decision. 

 In the event the claim is wholly or
partially denied, the Plan Administrator’s written notification shall state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, include specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, provide an explanation of any
additional material or information necessary for the Employee or beneficiary to perfect the claim and a statement of why such material or information is necessary, and set forth the procedure by which the Employee or beneficiary may appeal the
denial of the claim. If the claim has not been granted and notice is not furnished within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph, the claim shall be deemed denied for the purpose of proceeding to appeal in accordance with paragraph
(b) below. 
  

	(b)	 Appeal Procedure. In the event an Employee or beneficiary wishes to appeal the denial of his claim, he may request a review of such denial by
the Committee by making written application to the Plan Administrator 



  
 19 









	 	
within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notice of denial (or the date on which such claim is deemed denied if written notice is not received within the applicable time period
specified in paragraph (a) above). Such Employee or beneficiary (or his duly authorized representative) may, upon written request to the Committee, review documents which are pertinent to such claim, and submit in writing issues and comments in
support of his position. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written appeal (unless an extension of time is necessary due to special circumstances or is agreed to by the parties, but in no event more than one hundred and twenty
(120) days after such receipt), the Committee shall notify the Employee or beneficiary of its final decision. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be
furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include: (i) specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and
(ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. 

  

	(c)	Change in Control. Notwithstanding the above, upon a Change in Control, for the three-year period commencing on the date of the Change in Control, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Employee of the
disposition of a claim under paragraph (a) above, and the Committee shall notify the Employee of the decision on an appeal under paragraph (b) above, within ten (10) days of receipt of the claim or appeal, respectively.


 ARTICLE 5 

FUNDING 

Section 5.1 Benefits Unfunded. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither an Employer, the Board, nor the Plan Administrator shall be
required by the 

  
 20 








 
terms of the Plan to segregate any assets in connection with the Plan. Neither an Employer, the Board nor the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under
the Plan. Any liability to any person with respect to benefits payable under the Plan shall be only a claim against the general assets of the Employer. No such liability shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any other encumbrance on any
specific property of the Employer. 
 Section 5.2 Non-Qualified Plan. The Plan will not be qualified under the Code and the
Company and the Employers shall not be required to qualify the Plan. 
 Section 5.3 ERISA. The Plan is intended to constitute an
unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employer which qualifies for the exclusion provided for in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
401(a)(1) of ERISA. In the event that any regulatory body should determine that the Plan does not qualify for such exclusion, then the Company may retroactively revise the eligibility criteria under the Plan so that this Plan may qualify for the
exclusion or take such other action as is deemed necessary, and the Company and the Employers shall have no liability to those individuals who had been eligible for benefits under the Plan prior to such revision or action except to the extent of the
individual’s Accrued Benefit as of the effective date of such action. 
 ARTICLE 6 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

Section 6.1 Amendment and Termination. While the Company intends to maintain this Plan in conjunction with the Salaried Pension
Plan for so 

  
 21 








 
long as necessary or desirable, the Company reserves the right at any time to amend, suspend, and/or terminate this Plan, in whole or part. Action to terminate the Plan may be taken on behalf of
the Company only by the Board, by its resolutions duly adopted. Any other action referred to in this subsection and not determined by the Company’s general counsel to be in contravention of law may be taken on behalf of the Company by the Board
or the Chairman of the Board or his delegate by a resolution, certificate, new or revised Plan text, or other writing; provided that, only the Board may approve a Plan amendment which (A) would materially increase aggregate accrued benefits
under, materially change the benefit formula provided by, or materially increase the cost of the Plan so long as persons designated by the Board as “Executive Officers” for purposes of the U.S. Securities laws participate in the Plan; or
(B) would freeze benefit accruals, materially reduce benefit accruals, or otherwise materially change the benefits under the Plan; or (C) would constitute the exercise of power or function assigned to the Finance Committee of the Board,
the Plan Administrator, or the Committee. The Chairman may delegate the authority described in the preceding sentence in writing. Notwithstanding the above no such amendment, termination or suspension shall reduce the benefits payable to or accrued
by an Employee as of the date of such amendment, suspension or termination, except as provided in Section 5.3. If this Plan is terminated, no new benefits shall be accrued hereunder; and all benefits previously accrued shall be payable at such
times as otherwise provided herein. 
 Section 6.2 Contractual Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 hereof, each
Employer hereby makes a contractual commitment to pay the benefits theretofore accrued in respect of each Employee of such Employer under the Plan to the extent it is financially capable of meeting such obligations from its general assets, and at
such times as such benefits are payable under the terms hereof. 

  
 22 








 Section 6.3 No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as
a contract of employment between an Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of an Employer, or as a limitation on the right of an Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause.
Specifically, no rights are created under the Plan with respect to continued employment. It is understood that each Employee is employed at the will of the respective Employer and the Employee and in accord with all statutory provisions. 

ARTICLE 7 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 Section 7.1 Non-alienation of Benefits. Except as may be required by law, no benefit payable under the Plan is
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, garnishment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge whether voluntary or involuntary, including in respect of liability of an Employee or his beneficiary for alimony or other
payments for the support of a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent, prior to actually being received by the Employee or beneficiary under the Plan, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, garnish, pledge,
encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No such benefits will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Employee or other person entitled to receive the same and if such person is adjudicated
bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, assign, or pledge any benefits, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to cause the same or any part thereof then payable to be held or applied to or for the benefit of such Employee, his spouse, children
or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such proportion as the Plan Administrator may deem proper. 
 Section 7.2
Minor or Incompetent. If the Plan Administrator determines that any Employee or beneficiary entitled to payments under the Plan 

  
 23 








 
is a minor or incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, it may, in its sole discretion, cause all payments thereafter becoming due to such person to be made to any other person for
his benefit, without responsibility to follow application of amounts so paid. Payments made pursuant to this provision shall completely discharge the Company, the Employers, the Plan, the Board, and the Plan Administrator from all further
obligations with respect to benefits under the Plan. 
 Section 7.3 Payee Unknown. If the Plan Administrator has any doubt as to
the proper beneficiary to receive payments hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall have the right to withhold such payments until the matter is finally adjudicated. However, any payment made in good faith shall fully discharge the Plan
Administrator, the Company, the Employers, and the Board from all further obligations with respect to that payment. 
 Section 7.4
Illegal or Invalid Provision. In case any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegal or invalid provision shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced
without regard to such illegal or invalid provision. 
 Section 7.5 Governing Law and Headings. The provisions of the Plan shall
be construed, administered, and governed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including its statute of limitation provisions, to the extent such laws are not preempted by ERISA or other applicable Federal law. Titles of
Articles and Sections of the Plan are for convenience of reference only and are not to be taken into account when construing and interpreting the provisions of the Plan. 

Section 7.6 Liability Limitation. No liability shall attach to or be incurred by the Plan Administrator or any officer or director
of the Company or an Employer under or by reason of the terms, conditions, and provisions contained 

  
 24 








 
in the Plan, or for the acts or decisions taken or made thereunder or in connection therewith; and as a condition precedent to the receipt of benefits hereunder, such liability, if any, is
expressly waived and released by the Employee and by any and all persons claiming under or through the Employee or any other person. Such waiver and release shall be conclusively evidenced by any act of participation in or the acceptance of benefits
under the Plan. 
 Section 7.7 Notices. Except as otherwise specified, any notice to the Plan Administrator, the Company, or an
Employer which shall be or may be given under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail to the Plan Administrator. Notice to an Employee shall be sent to the address shown on the Company’s or the
Employer’s records. Any party may, from time to time, change the address to which notices shall be mailed by giving written notice of such new address. 

Section 7.8 Entire Agreement. Except as may be provided in an individual severance agreement between the Company or other Employer
and an Employee, this Plan document shall constitute the entire agreement between the Company or other Employer and the Employee with respect to the benefits promised hereunder and no other agreements or representations with respect to such
benefits, oral or otherwise, express or implied, shall be binding on the Company or other Employer. 
 Section 7.9 Binding
Effect. All obligations for amounts not yet paid under the Plan shall survive any merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of the Company’s or an Employer’s assets to any entity, and be the liability of the successor to the
merger or consolidation or purchaser of assets, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties thereto. 

  
 25 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, intending to be legally bound hereby, has caused the Plan to be
adopted and approved by the execution of its duly authorized officers as of the      day of              2014.
