Company’s Short-Term Incentive Program you will be eligible for an annual bonus target equivalent to 70% of your annual base salary. Since you are starting within the 2011 calendar year your 2011 bonus will be pro-rated from your start
date with the Company. In addition, you will receive an initial annual equity grant with a value of 100% of your base salary as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company. The grants will be made at the time, in the form of, and with

You are also eligible for our Executive Stock Purchase Opportunity Program. This programs provides that for each share of CDI Common Stock that you

long as you retain all the shares purchased. If at any time during the five years you sell or transfer any of the 20,000 shares, then the remaining unvested shares of Deferred Stock will be forfeited. Your ability to sell the shares will be subject
to CDI’s ownership and holding requirements. 
 You will be eligible to participate in CDI’s Employee Benefits Program. A summary of

You will be eligible for participation in the Executive Severance Program and your time as a consultant to the Company will be credited toward the
condition of one year of service. Note, your employment status with the Company will be “employment at-will,” which means there is no guarantee of employment for any specified period of time and both the employee and/or the Company can
terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. This “employment at-will” status cannot be changed except in a written agreement. 
 Please also note that this offer is contingent on satisfactory results (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) from a background check and drug test. Enclosed is an authorization to perform
the background check. We will also provide to you the information necessary to complete your drug test.

individual, business or entity whom you solicited, or participated in soliciting, during the last twelve months that you were employed by us. You specifically agree that this subsection 5(a)(ii) is necessary to protect, among other things, the

invalid portion by making the narrowest possible change which will result in validity of the provision. Any such invalidity shall not affect the validity of any of the other portions of this Section 5 or any other part of this Agreement.

 6. Restrictions on Post-Employment Competition.

services on behalf of any Competing Business (defined below), where the services you perform or assist another to perform are the same as, substantially similar to or related to the services you performed as our employee. You may not do indirectly
under this provision what you are prohibited from doing directly. Accordingly, your supervision or coaching of another person who performs services which are the same as, substantially similar or related to services you performed as our employee is
prohibited. So, too, is your performance of services which violate this provision even though you may perform additional services for the Competing Business which do not violate this provision. 

(b) (i) If your employment is terminated by us other than for Cause and under our policy you are eligible to receive a severance
package as defined in the Executive Severance Program, subsection (a) above shall extend for the same period that you are eligible to receive severance payments under that package. In order to receive that package, you will be required to sign
an agreement in such form as we may prescribe that will contain, among other things, a Release and Waiver of Claims and a restatement of your obligations under this Section 6. The severance payments will constitute consideration for the Release
and will constitute additional consideration for the performance of your obligations under this Section 6. Any decision by you not to accept severance under our approved severance package will not affect the validity or enforceability of this
Section 6. 
 (ii) If your employment is terminated by us other than for Cause and you are not eligible to receive a
severance package, or if you resign your employment, then provided that we notify you in writing within fourteen days following your termination, subsection (a) above

	  		  	 PLC

		  	Employer	  		  	Employee

 3 

 
shall extend for so long as we pay you periodic amounts equal to the rate of your salary at the time of your termination in the case your employment is terminated by us, or one-half of the rate
of base salary you were being paid at the time of your termination in the case you resign, for a period of time not to exceed six months; provided that we may discontinue such periodic payments at any time upon 30 days written notice to you and your
obligations under subsection (a) above shall cease. 
 (iii) If your employment is terminated for Cause, then subsection
(a) above shall extend for six months following the last date of your employment. 
 (c) (i) “Territory”
means anywhere in the world. 
 (ii) “Competing Business” means any person, business or other enterprise which
provides: (A) candidates or personnel to customers on a direct, contract or temporary basis; which provides technology and/or administration to assist in the coordination of such services provided by multiple vendors; or which provides services
related to either of these; (B) engineering, design, drafting, construction management or related services to customers in the government sector (including the military) or in the aerospace, chemicals, refining, pipeline, power generation,

to include any period of time during which you engage in activities constituting a violation of this Section 6. 
 (e)
Where any portion of this Section 6 is determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, you and we agree that it is our mutual desire and intention that such court modify the invalid portion by making the narrowest possible change
which will result in validity of the provision. Any such invalidity shall not affect the validity of any of the other portions of this Section 6 or any other part of this Agreement. 
 7. Survival of Certain Provision; Remedies. You and we specifically agree that Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement are considered as agreements independent of any other
provisions of this Agreement and that they will survive, and be enforceable following, termination of this Agreement or your employment hereunder. Also, you and we agree that the existence of a claim which you might allege against us, whether based
on this Agreement or otherwise, will not prevent us from enforcing these provisions. Further, you and we both recognize that, if the above provisions are violated, remedies which would typically be available to us for contract breach would be
inadequate. Therefore, you and we agree that we will have the right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief against you, and any other person who may be involved or connected with you, in the event that these provisions are breached. These
rights will be in addition to any other rights which we may have under law. 
 In the event that we institute legal action
against you to enforce any of Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6, and in the event that such action leads to or results in a decision or settlement in our favor,

you agree to fully reimburse us for our legal fees and related costs involved in our pursuing such action against you. 
 At or prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, we advised you of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and that they would be embodied in this written Agreement, and you acknowledge
that you did then agree to accept such terms and conditions and to execute this Agreement as a condition of your employment. 
 8.
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in any of the following four ways: 
 (a) We will have the right at any
time to terminate this Agreement for Cause. “Cause” means (i) your conviction of, or entry of a plea of either guilty or no contest to a charge of, commission of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, or your commission of any
act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of Company property or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company that adversely affects the Company in any material respect; (ii) your willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform in any
material respect such services as may be reasonably assigned to Executive, consistent with your position; (iii) your willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with the performance of your duties that adversely affects
Executive’s ability to perform her duties for the Company or adversely affects the Company in any material respect, (iv) your use (including being under the influence) of illegal drugs or alcohol on the Company’s premises or while
performing your duties and responsibilities (moderate consumption of alcohol at Company events will not constitute a violation of this provision); or (v) your material breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, your employment may not be terminated for Cause pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above unless (a) the Company provides your with written notice of the decision to terminate your
employment for Cause specifying the particular act(s) or failure(s) to act serving as the basis for such decision; and (b) if such act or failure to act is capable of being cured, you fail to cure any such act or failure to act to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Company within ten days after such notice. For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act, on your part, will be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith
and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was legal, proper, and in the best interests of the Company. In the event that this Agreement is terminated for Cause, you will be paid your salary and bonus through the date of termination.

 (b) You and we agree that your employment with us is on an at-will basis. Accordingly, in addition to our right, described
above, to terminate your employment for Cause, you or we may terminate your employment at any time without Cause, for any reason whatsoever, and without being required to specify a reason for the termination to the other. For such terminations, both
you and we do agree, however, to give the other fourteen (14) calendar days’ advance notice (“Notice Period”) of such termination. Regardless of which party gives this notice, we will have the option of terminating your services
at any time prior to the date of termination set forth in such notice provided, however, that in such event we will pay your pro rated compensation (but not benefits) for the Notice Period. 

(c) Your resignation. 
 (d) Your employment will automatically terminate upon your death and may be terminated by us if it is determined that you are unable to perform your job due to a disability (i.e., your suffering from an
injury, illness or impairment such that you are unable to perform the 

  

							
		  	 PE
	  		  	 PLC

		  	Employer	  		  	Employee

 5 

 
essential functions of your job after reasonable accommodation for a period in excess of that permissible under applicable state or federal law). 

9. Validity of Terms. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held void, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with any
federal, state or local law applicable to this Agreement, the validity of the remaining portions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 
 10. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party agrees to waive any right it may have to a jury trial with respect to any dispute, statutory or common law claim against the other that it may have now
or that it may have in the future relating to unlawful discrimination, harassment, any of the terms and conditions of employment (including but not limited to hiring, promotion, pay and termination decisions) or any other dispute whatsoever. This
jury waiver includes, but is not limited to, any of the claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Each party agrees that any claim it may wish to assert in a lawsuit or other case filed in court will be heard by a judge of the court,
who will decide the case without a jury. You understand that you would not be hired and/or remain employed by us absent your signing this waiver. 
 11. Other Agreements. By signing this Agreement, you represent and warrant to us that you are not bound by any other agreement, written or oral, which would preclude you from entering into
this Agreement. You also represent that you will not utilize, in connection with your employment under this Agreement, any materials which may be construed to be confidential to a competitor of ours. In the event of a breach by you of this provision
which results in damage to us, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless with respect to such damage and its associated costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees. You also agree that such breach will warrant a termination of your employment
for Cause. 
 12. Amendment. This Agreement can be changed through a written amendment signed by both parties hereto. 

13. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without regard to its choice of law rules), and that the state and federal court for Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any suit, claim or
proceeding between the parties, including any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its enforcement.

agreed upon compensation and benefits terms as set forth in your offer letter, together with any schedules or other exhibits which are specifically included set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings between
the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written with respect to the subject matter hereto. 

You acknowledge that you have read and understand all of the provisions of this Agreement and that such provisions, specifically
including but not limited to the Restrictive Covenants and Termination provisions, are reasonable and you agree to be bound by them.

any Eligible Employee designated to participate on a mandatory basis pursuant to Section 4.1) may participate on a voluntary basis by electing pursuant to Section 4.5 to have up to 25%, or such other maximum percentage as the Committee may
determine, of the pre-tax amount of his or her Annual Bonus Award withheld and used to purchase SPP Units. For those Eligible Employees described in Section 4.1, this amount is in addition to the automatic, required withholding described in
Section 4.1. 
  
 4.3 Company Matching
Contributions. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company shall make a matching contribution to an Employee Participant’s SPP Account of one SPP Unit for every three SPP Units purchased by the Employee Participant through
voluntary participation pursuant to Section 4.2, but shall not match SPP Units purchased through mandatory participation pursuant to Section 4.1. 
  

4.4 Calculation of SPP Units and Crediting of SPP Accounts. The number of SPP Units which shall be credited to an Employee Participant’s
SPP Account shall be calculated by dividing the total amount withheld pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Employee Participant’s SPP Account is credited. Employee
Participants’ SPP Accounts shall be so credited as soon as is practicable following the public release of the Company’s audited financial results for the Fiscal Year for which the applicable Annual Bonus Award is being calculated.

  
 4.5 Employee Participant Elections. 

(i) In General. An Eligible Employee must notify the Committee by such time as the Committee determines, which shall be no
later than December 31 of the year preceding the year during which services are performed with respect to such Eligible Employee’s Annual Bonus Award, of the percentage of such Annual Bonus Award that such Eligible Employee voluntarily
elects to use to purchase SPP Units pursuant to Section 4.2, if any, and the number of years that such Eligible Employee elects to have in the Vesting Period for SPP Units to be purchased pursuant to Sections 4.1 and/or 4.2. 

 
 (ii) First Year of Eligibility. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to an Eligible Employee’s first year of eligibility only, such Eligible Employee may make an election described in subsection (i) above during the calendar year in which services are to be performed with respect
to such Eligible Employee’s Annual Bonus Award, but no later than 30 days after the date such Eligible Employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Such election shall only apply with respect to compensation paid for services
performed after the election date. 
  
 (iii)
If an Eligible Employee fails to make such an election, the Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected not to make any voluntary purchases of SPP Units for that year and to have elected a three year Vesting Period for any SPP Units
involuntarily purchased pursuant to Section 4.1. An Eligible Employee’s election to voluntarily purchase SPP Units pursuant to Section 4.2 and election of a Vesting Period pursuant to Section 6.1 for a calendar year shall be
irrevocable. 
  
 Article 5. Director Participation 

An Eligible Director participates in the Plan by using a portion of his or her Director’s Fees to purchase SPP Units. Participation is either mandatory or
voluntary. 

  
 4 

 5.1 Mandatory Participation. 

(i) In General. Certain Eligible Directors designated by the Board, in accordance with procedures established by the Board,
no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the Director Year during which services are to be performed with respect to such Eligible Director’s Director’s Fees, are required to purchase SPP Units and shall automatically
have a percentage, determined by the Board at the time of such designation, of the pre-tax amount of their Director’s Fees withheld and used to purchase SPP Units. 

 
 (ii) First Year of Eligibility. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to an Eligible Director’s first year of eligibility only, the Board may designate an Eligible Director for mandatory participation (as described in subsection (i) above), on any date during the calendar year in
which services are to be performed with respect to such Eligible Director’s Director’s Fees, but no later than 30 days after the date such Eligible Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Such mandatory participation
shall only apply with respect to compensation paid for services performed after the Board designates such Eligible Director for mandatory participation pursuant to this Section. 

 
 (iii) For purposes of this Section 5.1, effective
December 31, 2008 and thereafter, any designation made by the Board regarding an Eligible Director’s mandatory participation pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall renew and be effective without any action required by the Board for each
succeeding year, unless modified by the Board no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the year in which such modified, or eliminated, mandatory participation is to become effective. The Board’s designation or renewed
designation, if applicable, of an Eligible Director’s mandatory participation for a calendar year shall be irrevocable. 
  

5.2 Voluntary Participation. Any Eligible Director (including any Eligible Director designated to participate on an involuntary basis
pursuant to Section 5.1) may participate on a voluntary basis by electing pursuant to Section 5.5 to have up to 100% (or such lesser amount of Director’s Fees remaining available as a result of such Eligible Director’s having
been designated to participate pursuant to Section 5.1) of the pre-tax amount of their Director’s Fees withheld and used to purchase SPP Units. 
  

5.3 Company Matching Contributions. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company shall make a matching contribution to a Director
Participant’s SPP Account of one SPP Unit for every three SPP Units purchased by the Director Participant through voluntary participation pursuant to Section 5.2, but shall not match SPP Units purchased through mandatory participation
pursuant to Section 5.1. 
  
 5.4 Calculation of SPP
Units and Crediting of SPP Accounts. The number of SPP Units that shall be credited to a Director Participant’s SPP Account shall be calculated by dividing the total amount withheld pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, by the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Director Participant’s SPP Account is credited. 
  

5.5 Eligible Director Elections. 
 (i) An Eligible Director must notify the Board by such time as the Board determines, which shall be no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the Director Year during which services will
commence with respect to such Eligible Director’s Director’s Fees, of the percentage of such Director’s Fees that the Eligible Director voluntarily elects to use to purchase SPP Units pursuant to Section 5.2, if any, and the
number of years that the Eligible Director elects to have in the Vesting Period for SPP Units to be purchased pursuant to Sections 5.1 and/or 5.2. 

  
 5 

 (ii) First Year of Eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
an Eligible Director’s first year of eligibility only, such Eligible Director may make an election described in subsection (i) above during the calendar year in which services are to be performed with respect to such Eligible
Director’s Director’s Fees, but no later than 30 days after the date such Eligible Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Such election shall only apply with respect to compensation paid for services performed after
the election date. 
  
 (iii) If the Eligible
Director fails to make such an election, the Eligible Director shall be deemed to have elected not to make any voluntary purchases of SPP Units for the following Director Year and to have elected a three year Vesting Period for any SPP Units
involuntarily purchased pursuant to Section 5.1. An Eligible Director’s election to voluntarily purchase SPP Units pursuant to Section 5.2 and election of a Vesting Period pursuant to Section 6.1 for the following Director Year
shall be irrevocable. 
  
 Article 6. Vesting 

6.1 All SPP Units purchased or contributed to a Participant’s SPP Account for a particular year shall be subject to a Vesting Period of from
three to ten years, as chosen by the Participant. A Vesting Period chosen for a particular year’s SPP Units shall be applicable to all SPP Units acquired for that year and shall run from the date the SPP Units are credited to the
Participant’s SPP Account. 
  
 6.2 When a Vesting Period
elapses, a certificate for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of SPP Units which were subject to the elapsed Vesting Period shall be delivered to the Participant, and the SPP Units shall be cancelled. 

 
 6.3 If a Participant’s employment or service with the Company
terminates before the Vesting Period applicable to any SPP Unit has elapsed, the following shall apply: 
  

(i) If the termination occurs less than three years after the SPP Units are credited to the Participant’s SPP Account and is by
the Company for Cause or as a result of the Participant’s resignation (except for Retirement), the Participant shall receive, in cash and not Common Stock, the lesser of the total amounts withheld pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, or Sections
5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, or the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. Any SPP Units credited pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 5.3 shall be forfeited. 
  

(ii) If the termination occurs for any reason more than three years after the SPP Units are credited to the Participant’s SPP
Account, then the unvested SPP Units shall immediately vest and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such SPP Units shall be delivered to the Participant or his or her Personal Representative. 

 
 (iii) If the termination occurs at any time after the
SPP Units are credited to the Participant’s SPP Account due to the Participant’s Retirement or Disability or for any other reason other than Cause or the Participant’s resignation, then the unvested SPP Units shall immediately vest
and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such SPP Units shall be delivered to the Participant or his or her Personal Representative. (For this purpose, a Director’s choice not to stand for re-election as a Director shall be
treated as a Retirement.) 
  
 Article 7. Dividends 

No dividends shall be payable hereunder with respect to any SPP Unit. In lieu thereof, at such time as SPP Units become vested hereunder, the Participant’s SPP
Account will be credited with that number of additional whole shares of Common Stock that can be purchased (based on the Fair Market Value of Common Stock when the SPP Units vest) with the sum of the dividends that would have been paid with respect
to an equal number of shares of Common Stock between the grant date of such SPP Units and the date on which those SPP Units vest. 

  
 6 

 Article 8. Stock Ownership Requirements 
 Certain Participants in the Plan shall be required to adhere to the common stock ownership requirements specified from time to time by CDI Corp., a copy of which shall be delivered to each such Participant.

  
 Article 9. Administration 

9.1 General. The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall be composed entirely of persons who are Outside Directors.

  
 9.2 Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have
all necessary powers to administer the Plan including, without limitation, the power to: 
  

(i) interpret the Plan, adopt regulations for carrying out the Plan, and make changes in such regulations as it shall, from time to
time, deem advisable; and 
  
 (ii) designate,
in its sole discretion, Eligible Employees as Participants in the Plan. 
  
 9.3 Plan Interpretation. The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive
and binding on all parties concerned. 
  
 9.4
Responsibilities and Reports. The Committee may, pursuant to a written instruction, delegate specific duties and responsibilities to other named persons; provided, however, that any such delegation may not violate or otherwise contravene any
requirement of applicable law. The Committee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports that are furnished by any accountant, controller, counsel, or other person who is employed or engaged
for such purposes. 
  
 Article 10. Effective Date, Termination and
Amendment of Plan 
 The Plan originally became effective January 1, 1998. The Board shall have the power to amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan at any time, provided that no such amendment shall be made without stockholder approval which shall (i) increase (except as provided in Section 11.3) the total number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Plan;
(ii) change the individuals eligible to be Participants; or (iii) change the provisions of this Article 10. Termination of the Plan pursuant to this Article 10 shall not affect SPP Units outstanding under the Plan at the time of
termination. 
  
 Article 11. General Provisions 

11.1 Limits as to Transferability. SPP Units may not be pledged, assigned, transferred or otherwise hypothecated, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, and any attempt to do so shall be void and the relevant SPP Units shall be forfeited. 
  

11.2 Shares Available Under the Plan. A total of 575,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 11.3, shall be available for issuance under the Plan with respect to all SPP Units granted hereunder, including those granted before the date of this amendment and restatement. The Common Stock to be offered under the Plan shall be
authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by the Company. When SPP Units are granted, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Units shall be reserved for issuance out of the
shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan. 

  
 7 

 11.3 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a reorganization,
recapitalization, stock split, spin-off, split-off, split-up, stock dividend, issuance of stock rights, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or any other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting Common Stock, or any
distribution to stockholders other than a cash dividend, the Board shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and kind of shares authorized by the Plan and any other adjustments to outstanding SPP Units as it determines appropriate. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to such an adjustment. The Fair Market Value of any fractional shares resulting from adjustments pursuant to this Section shall, where appropriate, be paid in cash to the Participant.

  
 11.4 Nonuniform Determinations. The
Committee’s determinations under the Plan, including without limitation, the determination of Eligible Employees, need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

  
 11.5 No Right to Employment or Continued Service.
Nothing contained in the Plan, or any SPP Unit granted pursuant to the Plan, shall confer upon any Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the
employment of any Employee at any time. 
  
 11.6 Employment
Transfers. For purposes of this Plan, a transfer of employment between the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed a termination of employment. 

 
 11.7 Tax Withholding. Participants shall be responsible for
making appropriate provisions for all taxes, including, without limitation, federal, state, local or foreign income or payroll taxes, required by law to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock or other payment pursuant
to this Plan. 
  
 (i) Delivery of
Payment. No delivery of Common Stock or other payment under this Plan shall be made unless the Participant entitled to such delivery or payment has made appropriate provisions in accordance with this Section 11.7, within 60 days of first
becoming entitled to such delivery or payment. Failure by a Participant to make such provision within that 60 day period shall constitute agreement by the Participant to have the Company withhold from the delivery or payment otherwise to be made
hereunder, that number of shares of Common Stock that has a Fair Market Value, on the date of delivery or payment, equal to the Participant’s tax obligation. Any dividend payable with respect to shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.7 (for example a dividend paid with respect to shares having a record date for such dividend within the 60 day period described herein) shall be withheld and applied to the Participant’s
withholding obligation either directly or by way of reimbursement to the Company for any such payment. 
  

(ii) Dividends. All dividends or other cash payments to be made to any Participant under this Plan shall be paid net of any
required withholdings as described in this Section 11.7. 
  
 11.8 Governing Law. To the extent that Federal laws (such as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) do not control, the Plan and all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws thereof, and construed accordingly. 

 
 11.9 Funding; Unsecured Status. The Company shall not be
required to segregate or hold separately from its general assets any amounts credited to a Participant’s SPP Account, and shall be under no obligation whatsoever to fund in advance any amounts under the Plan. The right of a Participant to
receive any amounts or shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. 

  
 8 

 11.10 Shareholder Rights and Privileges. Except as specifically provided herein, with respect
to the right to vote or to receive dividends, a Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of 
 Common Stock until the
issuance of a stock certificate, or equivalent entry on the books of the Company’s transfer agent, to the Participant representing such shares. 
  

11.11 Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if (i) a Participant is
entitled to receive any payment under the Plan by reason of his ‘separation from service’ (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A) other than as a result of his death, (ii) the Participant is a ‘specified
employee’ within the meaning of Code Section 409A for the period in which the payment would otherwise be made, and (iii) such payment would otherwise subject the Participant to any tax, interest or penalty imposed under Code
Section 409A (or any regulation promulgated thereunder) if such payment would be made within six months of a termination of the Participant’s employment, then such payment shall not be made until the first day which is at least six months
after the termination of the Participant’s employment.
