          therein, the Company shall pay to an escrow agent, who shall invest such sum with interest to be paid to the prevailing party, any amount remaining unpaid under Section 3 or 4.  In such event, the parties shall engage in arbitration in the City
          of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by the Company
          and one by Employee, and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators.  Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with
          applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction.  This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable.  The arbitrators shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award a remedy for a dispute involving
          this Agreement other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Agreement.  The delayed payment will be treated as paid on the date specified under this Agreement if Employee accepts any portion of the payment that the Company
          is willing to make, Employee makes prompt and reasonable, good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment and the remainder of the payment is made no later than the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the
          arbitrators reach a decision, the Company and Employee enter into a legally binding settlement of the dispute over the payment or the date the Company concedes the payment is due to Employee.  For Employee’s efforts to collect payment to be
          considered prompt, reasonable and in good faith, Employee must provide notice to the Company within 90 days of the latest date that payment could have been made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, if not paid, Employee must take
          further enforcement measures within 180 days after such date.

      (b) The Company shall pay Employee on demand the amount necessary to reimburse Employee in full for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
          incurred by Employee in enforcing any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement subject to Employee’s duty to repay such sums to the Company in the event that Employee does not prevail on any material issue which is the subject of
          such arbitration.  If Employee prevails on at least one material issue which is the subject of such arbitration, the Company shall be responsible for all of the fees of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrators and any expenses
          relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including Employee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).  Otherwise, each party shall be responsible for his or its own expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable
          attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall equally share the fees of the American Arbitration Association.  Any reimbursement or in-kind benefits under this Section 5 shall be paid or provided to Employee within 30 days of the date Employee is
          finally determined to have prevailed on at least one material issue, which was the subject of the arbitration.

      6. Material Breach.  The parties agree that it shall constitute a material breach of this agreement by the Company if Employee’s annual bonus compensation opportunity is
          significantly reduced from the level effective as of the date the parties enter into this Agreement.

      

      

      7. No Mitigation.  Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
          shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for herein be reduced by any compensation earned by other employment or otherwise.

      

      

      8. Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Employee’s continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive or
          other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and for which Employee may qualify, from the date hereof through the Termination Date.

      

      

      9. No Set-Off.  The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
          circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against Employee or others.

      

      

      10. Taxes.  Any payment required under this Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of law with regard to the withholding of taxes, filing, making of reports and the like,
          and the Company shall use its best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements.

      

      

      11. Confidential Information.  Employee recognizes and acknowledges that, by reason of his employment by and service to the Company, he has had and will continue to have access to
          confidential information of the Company, including, without limitation, information and knowledge pertaining to products and services offered, innovations, designs, ideas, plans, trade secrets, proprietary information, distribution and sales
          methods and systems, sales and profit figures, customer and client lists, and relationships between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and other distributors, customers, clients, suppliers and others who have business dealings with
          the Company (“Confidential Information”).  Employee acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset and covenants that he will not, either during or after his employment by the Company, disclose or use any such
          Confidential Information to any person for any reason whatsoever without the prior written authorization of the Board, unless such information is in the public domain through no fault of Employee or except as may be required by law.

      

      

      
        	
                12.

              	
                Non-Competition.

              

      

      

      

      (a) During his employment by the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, Employee will not, unless acting with the prior written consent of the Board, directly or
          indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in the ownership, management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant or
          otherwise with or use or permit his name to be used in connection with, any business or enterprise engaged in by the Company or any of its Affiliates, either during his employment by the Company or on the Termination Date, as applicable, in the
          geographic area comprising the Company’s franchised service territory (the “Geographic Area”).  It is recognized by Employee that the business of the Company and its Affiliates and Employee’s connection therewith is or will be involved in
          activity throughout the Geographic Area, and that more limited geographical limitations on this non-competition covenant would not be appropriate.  Employee also shall not, directly or indirectly, during such one year period (a) solicit or
          attempt to convert any account or customer of the Company or its Affiliates existing on the Termination Date to another supplier, or (b) following Employee’s employment, solicit or attempt to hire any then employee of the Company or its
          Affiliates.

      

      

      (b) The foregoing restriction shall not be construed to prohibit the ownership by Employee of less than five percent of any class of securities of any corporation which is engaged
          in any of the foregoing businesses having a class of securities registered pursuant to the Exchange Act, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that neither Employee nor any group of persons including Employee, either
          directly or indirectly, manages or exercises control of any such corporation, guarantees any of its financial obligations, otherwise takes any part in its business, other than exercising his rights as a shareholder, or seeks to do any of the
          foregoing.

      

      

      
        	
                13.

              	
                Equitable Relief.

              

      

      (a) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 11 and 12 hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its
          Affiliates, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of those Sections will result in irreparable injury to the Company.  Employee represents that his
          experience and capabilities are such that the restrictions contained in Section 12 hereof will not prevent Employee from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as anticipated by this
          Agreement.  Employee further represents and acknowledges that (i) he has been advised by the Company to consult his own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement, and (ii) that he has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement,
          to review thoroughly this Agreement and understands its terms and conditions.

      (b) Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable
          accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of Sections 11 or 12 hereof, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled.  In the event
          that any of the provisions of Sections 11 or 12 hereof should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such
          jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

      (c) Employee irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of Section 11 or 12 hereof, including, without limitation, any
          action commenced by the Company for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or
          will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in York County, Pennsylvania, consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection which Employee
          may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.  Employee also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers in a manner permitted by the
          notice provisions of Section 17 hereof.

      

      

      (d) Employee agrees that he will provide, and that the Company may similarly provide, a copy of Sections 11 and 12 hereof to any business or enterprise (i) which he may directly
          or indirectly own, manage, operate, finance, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, control or control of, or (ii) with which he may be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal,
          agent, representative, consultant or otherwise, or in connection with which he may use or permit his name to be used; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply in respect of Section 13 hereof after expiration of the time period set
          forth therein.

      

      

      
        	
                14.

              	
                Application of Section 409A.

              

      

      (a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A of
          the Code.  If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A of the Code, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when
          such sanctions will not be imposed.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon Employee's “separation from service” (within the meaning of such
          term under Section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series
          of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.  In no event shall Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

      

      

      (b) All reimbursements and in kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including,
          where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement or in kind benefit is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for
          reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement or payment of an eligible expense
          will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

      

      

      (c) If, at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and Employee
          is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment to prevent
          any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or
          provided to Employee) that are not otherwise paid within the short-term deferral exception under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and the separation pay exception under
            Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following Employee’s separation of service with the Company.  If any payments or benefits are postponed due to such
          requirements, such amounts will be paid in a lump sum to Employee on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following Employee’s separation of service with the Company.  If Employee dies during the postponement
          period prior to the payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of Employee’s estate within 60 days after the date of Employee’s death.

      

      

      15. Term of Agreement.  The term of this Agreement shall be for five years commencing on the date hereof and shall automatically be renewed for additional periods of one year
          until the Company notifies Employee in writing, at least 90 days in advance of expiration, that this Agreement will not be renewed.  If any notice of non-renewal occurs within two years after a Change of Control, such notice shall constitute an
          involuntary Termination of Employment for purposes of Section 3 above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement (other than the provisions of Sections 11 through 12 hereof) shall terminate on the Phase-Out Date or if the
          employment of Employee by the Company shall terminate for any reason other than as provided herein.

      16. Successor Company. The Company shall require any successor or successors (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
          all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Employee, to acknowledge expressly that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof,
          and to become jointly and severally obligated with the Company to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or successions had taken place. Failure of the
          Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the Company shall mean the Company as herein defined and any such successor or successors to its
          business and/or assets, jointly and severally.

      17. Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be delivered
          personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express courier service, as follows:

      If to the Company, to:

          certified mail, or on the next business day in the case of overnight express courier service.

                19.

              	
                Contents of Agreement, Amendment and Assignment.

              

      

      (a) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed,
          modified, extended or terminated except upon written amendment executed by Employee and the Company and only if approved by the Board. The provisions of this Agreement may provide for payments to Employee under certain compensation or bonus plans
          under circumstances where such plans would not provide for payment thereof. It is the specific intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in such plans, and such plans shall be
          deemed to have been amended to correspond with this Agreement without further action by the Company.

      (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

      (c) All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective heirs, representatives, successors and
          assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of Employee and the Company hereunder shall not be assignable in whole or in part.

      20. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such
          invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or applications of this Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application.

      21. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.  No right conferred upon Employee by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or
          remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission by Employee in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder or existing at
          law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof.

      22. Miscellaneous. All section headings are for convenience only.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original.  It shall not be necessary
          in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any of the other counterparts.

      23. Employee’s Acknowledgment. By executing this Agreement as of the date first above written, Employee acknowledges that he has no grounds for asserting that a Good Reason
          Termination exists as of that date and, therefore, that no obligation under Section 3 exists at the current time.

      
        
          

      

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
          written.
