NON-COMPETE PROVISION AGREEMENT

 Exhibit 10.7 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) between Steven Paradis (“Paradis”), George W. Vieth, Jr. (“Vieth”) and AMF Bowling
Worldwide, Inc. (“AMF”) is dated as of April 12, 2004. 
  
 WHEREAS, AMF and Vieth, former Interim Chief Executive Officer of AMF, are parties to an employment agreement dated as of December 6, 2002 (as amended as of November 18, 2003 (the “First Amendment”), December 31, 2003 (the
“Second Amendment”) and January 31, 2004 (the “Third Amendment”), the “Employment Agreement”) that contains the following provision (the “Non-Compete Provision”) restricting, among other things, Vieth’s
ability to directly or indirectly participate in the ownership or operation of bowling centers: 
  
 “Section 8(g) Non-Competition. During his employment and a two year period following any termination of employment (the “Restricted
Period”), the Executive [Vieth] will not directly or indirectly participate in or permit his name directly or indirectly to be used by or become associated with (including as an advisor, representative, agent, independent contractor, provider
or personal services or otherwise) any person, corporation, partnership, association or entity that is, or intends to be, engaged in any business that competes with the Business (herein defined) of the Company [AMF] in any country in which the
Company operates, competes or is engaged in the Business or at such time intends to so operate or become engaged in the Business (“Competitor”). “Business” means the business of operating bowling centers or manufacturing,
distributing or selling bowling equipment or products. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties agree that after his termination of employment with the Company, the Executive may own or hold a financial interest in up to two bowling centers so long as (i) no such center
is in a market in which the Company has three or more bowling centers at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, (ii) if any such center is in a market in which the Company has two or fewer bowling centers at the time of the
Executive’s termination of employment, such center is at least fifteen miles driving distance from any of the Company’s bowling centers at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment and (iii) notwithstanding clause (ii) of
this paragraph, if any such center is in the markets of Indianapolis, Nashville or Cincinnati, such center is at least ten miles driving distance of any of the Company’s bowling centers at the time of the Executive’s termination of
employment.” 
  
 WHEREAS, Vieth’s employment with
AMF terminated on February 27, 2004 (the “Termination Date”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Paradis has informed AMF of his intent to construct, own and operate bowling centers in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area (the “Paradis KY Centers”); 

 WHEREAS, AMF owns and operates two bowling centers in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area (the
“AMF KY Centers”); 
  
 WHEREAS, in connection with his
entrance into the bowling center industry, Paradis desires to enter into a business arrangement with Vieth to co-own one or more Paradis KY Centers; 
  
 WHEREAS, Paradis and Vieth each acknowledge the Non-Compete Provision and that, absent the agreements contained herein, Vieth’s ownership of any part
of a Paradis KY Center located less than fifteen (15) miles driving distance from any AMF KY Center would interfere with and be a violation of the Non-Compete Provision. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Agreements: 
  
 (a) Modification to Vieth’s Non-Compete Provisions. AMF hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the Non-Compete Provision, Vieth shall be
permitted to own or hold a financial interest in a single Paradis KY Center which is not at least fifteen (15) miles from each AMF KY Center; provided that the location of such Paradis KY Center is at least seven and one-half (7.5) miles
driving distance from each AMF KY Center. It is understood that any such ownership by Vieth of a Paradis KY Center shall count towards the bowling center quantity limitation in the second paragraph of the Non-Compete Provision. 
  
 (b) Paradis Agreement. Paradis hereby agrees that, for a period of two
(2) years after the Termination Date, he will not, nor will he prepare to, directly or indirectly, own, have an interest in, participate in, permit his name to be used by, become associated with (including as an advisor, representative, agent,
independent contractor, provider or personal services or otherwise) or otherwise participate in, any person, corporation, partnership, association or entity that is engaged in, or intends to engage in, the operation of any bowling center within the
Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area where such bowling center is not, or would not be, located at least seven and one-half (7.5) miles driving distance from each AMF KY Center. 
  
 2. Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 1(b), a court or other government agency holds that
the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope
or area and that the court or government agency shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Vieth’s services are unique and because Vieth has had access to
the confidential information of AMF, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, AMF or its successors or
assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other 

  

 - 2 - 

 
relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). 
  
 3. Acknowledgments. 
  
 (a) Paradis acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1(b) are in
consideration of: (i) AMF modifying the Non-Compete Provision to enable Vieth to participate with Paradis in the Enterprise as provided in Section 1(a) and (ii) other additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement.
In addition, Paradis agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 1(b) do not preclude Paradis from earning a livelihood. Paradis agrees and acknowledges that AMF is relying upon Paradis’ agreements and covenants
made herein, and that AMF would not have entered into this Agreement with Paradis nor modified Vieth’s Non-Compete Provision were it not for such agreements and covenants. In addition, Paradis agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to
AMF of the non-enforcement of Section 1(b) outweighs any potential harm to Paradis of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Paradis acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the
restraints imposed upon Paradis by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of AMF now existing or to be developed in the future. Paradis
expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. 
  
 (b) Vieth hereby (i) acknowledges that except as explicitly modified by this Agreement, the provisions of the Employment
Agreement which survived the termination of his employment by their own terms, including, without limitation, the Non-Compete Provision (as modified hereby), remain in full force and effect, (ii) reaffirms his obligation to comply with each such
surviving provision and (iii) acknowledges the receipt and sufficiency of the consideration received by him pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 4. Representations. Paradis hereby represents and warrants to AMF that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Paradis
does not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Paradis is a party or by which he is bound and (ii) upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by AMF and Vieth, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Paradis, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Paradis hereby acknowledges and represents that he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his
rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein. 
  
 5. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement must be in writing and must be either personally delivered, sent via facsimile, sent by
first class mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the parties at the addresses set forth below. Notices will be deemed to have been given hereunder when delivered

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 BETWEEN 
 NICHOLAS S. SCHORSCH 
 AND 
 FIRST STATES GROUP, L.P. 
  
 This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of January 1, 2004 (“Effective Date”), between First States Group, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and Nicholas S. Schorsch (the “Executive”): 
  
 WHEREAS, American Financial Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “REIT”), is a limited partner and the sole owner of the
general partner of the Company; 
  
 WHEREAS, this Agreement amends
and restates the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Executive, dated May 15, 2003 (the “May 2003 Agreement”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the May 2003 Agreement amended and restated the Employment Agreement between the REIT (which assigned that agreement to the Company) and the
Executive, dated September 10, 2002 (the “Original Agreement”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive has extensive experience in owning and operating real estate companies which own commercial real estate and, prior to entering into the Original Agreement, had been the owner of certain
businesses that, in connection with the formation of the REIT and the private placement of common shares (“Common Shares”) of beneficial ownership, par value $.001 per share of the REIT (referred to herein as the “144A
Offering”), were acquired by the REIT or the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to continue to employ the Executive in the capacities and on the terms and conditions set out below, and the Executive has agreed to continue such employment, in the capacities and on the terms and conditions set
forth below. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive, in
consideration of the respective covenants set out below, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. EMPLOYMENT. 
  
 (a) POSITIONS. The Executive shall be employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall also be an officer of the REIT as its Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees (“Board”), President and
Chief Executive Officer. 
  
 (b) DUTIES. The
Executive’s principal employment duties and responsibilities shall be those duties and responsibilities customary for the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer and such other executive duties and responsibilities as the Board shall
from time to time reasonably assign to the Executive. The Executive shall be responsible for and have authority over the day-to-day operational management of the Company and the REIT. The Executive shall report directly to the Board. All other
officers of the Company and 

  

 
the REIT shall report to the Executive or such person(s) as the Executive may designate from time to time. 
  
 (c) EXTENT OF SERVICES. Except for illnesses and vacation
periods, the Executive shall devote a substantial majority of his business time and attention and his best efforts to the performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive (i) shall be
permitted to continue to manage, operate and devote time and attention to those properties and businesses he owned, operated or controlled at the time of the 144A Offering that were not transferred to or purchased by the Company or the REIT in
connection with the 144A Offering or any properties and businesses that were transferred to the Company and that Executive subsequently reacquires pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement dated September 4, 2002 (collectively referred to
herein as the “Excluded Businesses”), (ii) may make any passive investment where he is not obligated or required to, and shall not in fact, devote any managerial efforts, (iii) may participate in charitable, academic or community
activities, and in trade or professional organizations, or (iv) may hold directorships in other companies consistent with the Company’s conflict of interest policies and corporate governance guidelines as in effect from time to time.

  
 2. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective
Date and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter until May 15, 2008 (the “Initial Term”), and shall be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year period on May 15, 2004 and on each May 15 thereafter, including each
May 15 that occurs within the Initial Term (the last day of each such term is referred to herein as a “Term Date”), unless either party terminates this Agreement not later than sixty (60) days prior to a Term Date by providing written
notice to the other party of such party’s intent not to renew, or it is sooner terminated pursuant to Section 7. For purposes of this Agreement, “Term” shall mean the actual duration of the Executive’s employment hereunder,
taking into account any extensions pursuant to this Section 2 or early termination of employment pursuant to Section 7. 
  
 3. BASE SALARY. The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary annually (the “Base Salary”), which shall be payable in periodic installments
according to the Company’s normal payroll practices. The initial Base Salary shall be $825,000. The Board or the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the REIT (the “Compensation Committee”) shall review the Base Salary at
least once a year to determine whether the Base Salary should be increased effective January 1 of any year during the Term; provided, however, that on each January 1 during the Term, the Base Salary shall be increased by a minimum positive amount
equal to the Base Salary in effect on January 1 of the prior year multiplied by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for such year. The amount of the increase shall be determined before March 31 of each year and shall be retroactive
to January 1. The Base Salary, including any increases, shall not be decreased during the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Base Salary” shall mean the amount established and adjusted from time to time pursuant to this
Section 3. 
  
 4. INCENTIVE AWARDS. 
  
 ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS. The Executive’s annual cash incentive bonus for
2003 shall be based on the provisions of the May 2003 Agreement. Beginning January 1, 

  

 2 

 
2004, and for each year thereafter, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash incentive bonus for each fiscal year during the Term of this
Agreement consistent with a bonus policy adopted by the Compensation Committee for each fiscal year containing individual performance goals for participants and corporate performance goals set at Threshold, Target and Maximum levels, and allocating
each participant’s annual cash incentive bonus on a percentage basis between individual and corporate performance goals (the “Bonus Policy”). For each fiscal year, the annual incentive bonus shall be determined under the Bonus Policy
in effect for such fiscal year by how well the Executive has met his individual performance goals and by how well the overall corporate goals have been met, as follows: 
  
 total annual incentive bonus = individual performance bonus + corporate performance bonus 
  
 where: 
  
 individual performance bonus = individual performance level achieved (Threshold, Target or Maximum
percentage) x individual goals allocation percentage x Base Salary 
  
 corporate performance bonus = corporate performance level achieved (Threshold, Target or Maximum percentage) x corporate goals allocation percentage x Base Salary 
  
 The percentages established for the Executive for the performance bonus levels for 2004 shall
be 50% for Threshold Level and 100% for Target Level. There shall be no cap on the percentage for the Maximum Level, which shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. After 2004 the percentages shall not be less than the 2004 percentages for
each performance bonus level without the written agreement of the Executive. If Executive or the Company, as the case may be, fails to satisfy the performance criteria contained in such Bonus Policy for a fiscal year, the Executive may be eligible
to receive an incentive bonus for such fiscal year, in such amount as is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The annual incentive bonus shall be paid to the Executive no later than thirty
(30) days after the date the Compensation Committee approves the annual incentive bonus payable to the Executive for such fiscal year. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Incentive Bonus” shall mean the amount established pursuant to
this Section 4(a). 
  
 (a) OUTPERFORMANCE PLAN
BONUS. The REIT has established the 2003 Outperformance Plan (the “OPP”) as an incentive compensation plan for key employees with awards determined based on the annual and the three-year total return to shareholders of the REIT. The
Executive shall be eligible to participate in the OPP in an amount as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has established that, during the Term, the Executive will receive a minimum allocation of at least 40.0% of
the aggregate outperformance reward under the OPP or under any outperformance plan that replaces the OPP; and the Executive will receive economically consistent results appropriate in respect of his position as Chief Executive Officer for any
outperformance plan for executives that the Company or the REIT puts into effect after the OPP. The Executive, as Chief Executive Officer, will have the right to make recommendations to the Compensation Committee as to which Company employees are
eligible to receive an allocation under the OPP and the amount of that allocation, subject to Compensation Committee review and approval.

 5. STOCK BASED AWARDS. 
  
 (a) 2002 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN OPTION GRANTS. The REIT has established the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan
(“Equity Incentive Plan”). Under the Original Agreement, on the closing of the 144A Offering, the REIT granted the Executive an initial grant of options to purchase 1,515,625 Common Shares (the “Initial Grant Options”). The
Initial Grant Options have an exercise price of $10.00 per share and a term of ten (10) years and will vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the underlying Common Shares on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and 6.25% of the
underlying Common Shares on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter until fully vested; provided, however, that the Executive will be 100% vested in the Initial Grant Options upon (i) a Change in Control (as defined herein),
(ii) a termination by the Company without Cause (as defined herein), (iii) a termination by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined herein), (iv) his death, (v) his becoming Permanently Disabled (as defined herein), or (vi) the Company’s
failure to renew this Agreement. The Executive will forfeit all unvested Initial Grant Options if he is terminated for Cause or he terminates his employment hereunder for other than Good Reason. The Executive shall be eligible to receive future
option grants as determined by the Compensation Committee. 
  
 (b) 2002 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of Common Shares as restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Share Grants”) to the extent that such
Common Shares are available thereunder. The Executive shall be eligible to receive Restricted Share Grants as approved by the Compensation Committee, and if the Compensation Committee approves Restricted Share Grants to executives of the Company,
then, as appropriate in the context, the Executive will receive Restricted Share Grants consistent with, and appropriate in respect of, his position as Chief Executive Officer. The REIT granted the Executive initial Restricted Share Grants for
600,000 Common Shares on July 1, 2003 and 149,000 Common Shares on January 1, 2004 (the “Initial Restricted Share Grants”). The Compensation Committee has approved, subject to the effectiveness of this Agreement, a Restricted Share Grant
to the Executive for 120,000 Common Shares to be granted on January 2, 2004 (the “January 2004 Restricted Share Grant”). The January 2004 Restricted Share Grant and future awards of Restricted Share Grants shall be on the following terms:
vesting at the rate of 25% of the underlying Common Shares on the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the grant of Common Shares as Restricted Share Grants and 6.25% of the underlying Common Shares on the last day of each fiscal quarter
thereafter until fully vested; provided, however, that the Executive will be 100% vested and all restrictions will lapse upon (i) a Change in Control (as defined herein), (ii) a termination by the Company without Cause (as defined
herein), (iii) a termination by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined herein), (iv) his death, (v) his becoming Permanently Disabled (as defined herein), or (vi) the Company’s failure to renew this Agreement. If the Executive is terminated
for Cause or if he voluntarily terminates his employment for other than Good Reason, the Company has the right to repurchase any unvested Restricted Share Grants in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Common Shares issued as
Restricted Share Grants will have voting and dividend rights, and, following the restriction period, shall be registered and fully transferable by the Executive. 
  
 6. BENEFITS. 
  
 (a) VACATION. The Executive shall be entitled to eight (8) weeks of paid vacation per full calendar year, which shall accrue during the
Executive’s employment with the 

  

 4 

 
Company. The Executive shall be entitled to cash in lieu of any accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy.

  
 (b) SICK AND PERSONAL DAYS. The Executive
shall be entitled to sick and personal days on an as needed basis. 
  
 (c) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. 
  
 (i) PARTICIPATION IN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. The Executive and his spouse and eligible dependents, if any, and their respective designated beneficiaries where applicable, will be eligible for and entitled to participate in any Company
sponsored employee benefit plans, including but not limited to benefits such as group health, dental, accident, disability insurance, group life insurance, and a 401(k) plan, as such benefits may be offered from time to time, on a basis no less
favorable than that applicable to any other executive of the Company. 
  
 (ii) SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN. The Company shall provide to the Executive a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) benefit on the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this
Agreement. 
  
 (iii) DISABILITY INSURANCE. The
Company shall maintain, at its cost, supplemental renewable long-term disability insurance as agreed to by the Company and the Executive. 
  
 (d) OTHER BENEFITS. 
  
 (i) ANNUAL PHYSICAL. The Company shall provide, at its cost, a medical examination for the Executive on an annual basis by a licensed
physician in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area selected by the Executive. 
  
 (ii) CAR ALLOWANCE. The Company shall pay Executive a monthly car allowance of $2,000. 
  
 (iii) TAX PREPARATION AND FINANCIAL PLANNING. The Company shall pay or promptly reimburse the Executive for costs incurred by him in
connection with tax preparation and financial planning assistance, to be furnished by such advisors as chosen by the Executive, up to a maximum aggregate of $30,000 annually. 
  
 (iv) DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE. During the Term and the Severance Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to director and officer insurance coverage for his acts and omissions while an officer and director of the Company and the REIT on a basis no less favorable to him than the coverage provided to any other current officers and trustees.

  
 (v) LIFE INSURANCE. The Company may purchase
on the life of the Executive $15 million of key man life insurance with the Company as the beneficiary of the death benefit. The Company shall purchase on the life of the Executive a 30 year vanishing premium, whole life insurance policy with a
death benefit of $15 million with the Executive (or his assignee) as the owner of the policy and with the right to designate the beneficiary of the 

  

 5 

 
death benefit. The premiums paid on this policy shall be imputed as income to the Executive, and the Company will pay to the Executive such additional amount
as necessary to have no federal, state or local tax effect on the Executive (the “Executive Life Insurance Program”). The Executive Life Insurance Program shall be issued by a AA or better rated (by AM Best) insurer. The Company will
obtain bids for this program and review the final program with the Executive and the Chairman of Compensation Committee for approval. The program will be structured to comply with all requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or similar requirements.

  
 (vi) EXPENSES, OFFICE AND SECRETARIAL
SUPPORT. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, in accordance with the Company’s policy as in effect from time to time and on a basis no less favorable than that applicable to any other executive of the
Company, including, without limitation, telephone, reasonable travel and reasonable entertainment expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the business of the Company, promptly upon the presentation by the Executive of appropriate
documentation. The Executive shall also be entitled to appropriate office space, administrative support, and such other facilities and services as are suitable to the Executive’s positions and adequate for the performance of the
Executive’s duties. 
  
 (vi) FINANCIAL
ASSISTANT. The Company shall pay or promptly reimburse the Executive for costs incurred by him in connection with the employment by the Executive of an assistant to manage the Executive’s financial affairs, including the cost of salary and
employee benefits, plus such additional amount as necessary to have no federal, state or local tax effect on the Executive. 
  
 7. TERMINATION. The employment of the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following:

  
 (a) DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY.
Immediately upon death or Permanent Disability of the Executive. As used in this Agreement, “Permanent Disability” shall mean an inability due to a physical or mental impairment to perform the material services contemplated under this
Agreement for a period of six (6) months, whether or not consecutive, during any 365-day period. A determination of Permanent Disability shall be made by a physician satisfactory to both the Executive and the Company, provided that if the Executive
and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Executive and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to Permanent Disability shall be binding on all parties. The
appointment of one or more individuals to carry out the offices or duties of the Executive during a period of the Executive’s inability to perform such duties and pending a determination of Permanent Disability shall not be considered a breach
of this Agreement by the Company. 
  
 (b) FOR
CAUSE. At the election of the Company and subject to the provisions of this Section 7(b), immediately upon written notice by the Company to the Executive of his termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination
shall be deemed to exist solely in the event of (i) the conviction of the Executive of, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Executive to, a felony (exclusive of any felony relating to negligent operation of a motor
vehicle and not including a conviction, plea of guilty or nolo contendere arising solely under a statutory provision imposing criminal liability upon the 

  

 6 

 
Executive on a per se basis due to the Company offices held by the Executive, so long as any act or omission of the Executive with respect to such matter was
not taken or omitted in contravention of any applicable policy or directive of the Board), (ii) a willful breach of his duty of loyalty which is materially detrimental to the Company, (iii) a willful failure to perform or adhere to explicitly stated
duties that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or the Company’s reasonable and customary guidelines of employment or reasonable and customary corporate governance guidelines or policies, including without limitation any business
code of ethics adopted by the Board, or to follow the lawful directives of the Board (provided such directives are consistent with the terms of this Agreement), which, in any such case, continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from the
Board to the Executive, or (iv) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Section 7(b), no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part will be deemed “gross
negligence” or “willful misconduct” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without a reasonable belief that the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company. The
parties agree that in order to terminate the Executive pursuant to Subsections (ii) and (iv) hereof, the Company shall first be required to prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the Executive that he engaged in improper conduct under these
Subsections, and if the Executive shall not agree with the Company’s assessment of his conduct, then the Executive shall not be terminated until an arbitrator, as provided for in Section 13(b), has determined that the Executive’s conduct
constituted improper conduct under the applicable Subsection. 
  
 (c) WITHOUT CAUSE; WITHOUT GOOD REASON. At the election of the Company, without Cause, and at the election of the Executive, without Good Reason, in either case upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Executive or the Company, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) FOR GOOD REASON. At the election of the Executive, for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions or omissions, provided the Executive notifies the Company of his
determination that Good Reason exists within 60 days of the action or omission on which such determination is based: 
  
 (i) removal from the Board, or the failure to be nominated or elected to the Board, 
  
 (ii) failure to renew this Agreement on at least comparable
terms at any Term Date, 
  
 (iii) a material
reduction of the Executive’s duties, responsibilities or reporting requirements, or the assignment to the Executive of any duties, responsibilities, or reporting requirements that are inconsistent with his positions as President, Chief
Executive Officer, and Vice Chairman of the Board, as the case may be, 
  
 (iv) a reduction by the Company in the Executive’s annual Base Salary, 
  
 (v) the Company’s failure to continue in effect the Equity Incentive Plan or the OPP, unless comparable alternative compensation
arrangements (embodied in ongoing 

  

 7 

 
substitute or alternative plans) have been provided to the reasonable satisfaction of the Executive, 
  
 (vi) a reduction or loss of employee benefits or material
fringe benefits, both in terms of the amount of the benefit and the level of the Executive’s participation therein, enjoyed by the Executive under the employee benefit and welfare plans of the Company, including without limitation such benefits
as group health, dental, 401(k), accident, disability insurance, or group life insurance, that is caused by the Company except as is required by applicable law, 
  
 (vii) absent the Executive’s prior written consent, the requirement by the Company that the principal
place of business at which the Executive performs his duties be changed to a location that is outside of a 50 mile radius of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. The parties acknowledge that for these purposes, Executive’s principal place of business will
be Jenkintown, Pennsylvania for approximately 36 to 38 weeks per calendar year, and the remainder, as the Executive decides, will be in Richmond, Virginia and Avalon, New Jersey, or 
  
 (viii) a breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement that continues for a period of thirty (30)
days after Executive provides written notice to the Company of such breach. 
  
 8. EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. 
  
 (a) TERMINATION ON PERMANENT DISABILITY; BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE; BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON. If the employment of the Executive should terminate by reason of his becoming Permanently Disabled, a
termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay all compensation and benefits for the Executive as follows: 
  
 (i) any Base Salary, Incentive Bonus, expense reimbursements and all other compensation related payments
that are payable as of his termination of employment date that are related to his period of employment preceding his termination date, including pay in lieu of accrued, but unused, vacation, and 
  
 (ii) the prorated amount of the Incentive Bonus at the
Target Level for both corporate and individual performance for the year in which the termination of employment occurs, pro rated for the portion of such year during which the Executive was employed prior to the effective date of his termination, and

  
 (iii) the amount equal to his Base Salary at
the rate in effect on the effective date of his termination of employment, that would have been paid or payable during the five (5) year period immediately following the effective date of his termination (the “Severance Period”).

  
 The sum of the amount payable under
subsections (ii) and (iii) hereof is referred to herein as his “Severance Payment”. 
  

 8 

 (iv) The Severance Payment shall be made in a single, lump sum cash payment no later than
thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment. With respect to any Severance Payment attributable to a period after the expiration of 18 calendar months after the termination of the Executive’s
employment, such payment shall be reduced for compensation earned from other employment or self-employment after that date, and the Executive shall refund to the Company any amount due as a result of such reduction; provided, however,
that there shall be no reduction for any amounts earned or paid to him with respect to the Excluded Businesses. 
  
 (v) The Company shall allow the Executive to continue to participate during the Severance Period in any healthcare, dental, vision and
prescription drug plans in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to his termination, to the same extent and upon the same terms as the Executive participated in such plans prior to his termination, provided that the
Executive’s continued participation is permissible or otherwise practicable under the general terms and provisions of such benefit plans and programs. During the Severance Period, the Company shall pay for the Executive’s continued
participation in said healthcare, dental, vision and prescription drug plans, including but not limited to premiums for such programs. To the extent that continued participation is neither permissible nor practicable, the Company shall take such
actions as may be necessary to provide the Executive with substantially comparable benefits (without additional cost to the Executive) outside the scope of such plans, including, without limitation, reimbursing the Executive for his costs in
obtaining such coverage, such as COBRA premiums paid by the Executive and/or his eligible dependents. If the Executive engages in regular employment after his termination of employment (whether as an executive or as a self-employed person), any
employee benefit and welfare benefits received by the Executive in consideration of such employment which are similar in nature to the healthcare, dental, vision and prescription drug plans provided by the Company will relieve the Company of its
obligation under this Section 8(a)(v) to provide comparable benefits to the extent of the benefits soreceived. 
  
 (vi) The Executive’s stock options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan (or any other or successor plan) shall immediately become
100% vested and he shall have a two-year period following the effective date of his termination of employment in which to exercise his vested stock options, including those stock options that vested upon his termination of employment. 
  
 (vii) The Executive’s restricted Common Shares awarded
under the Equity Incentive Plan (or any other or successor plan) shall immediately become 100% vested and all restrictions shall lapse. 
  
 (viii) The Executive’s SERP benefit shall immediately become 100% vested. 
  
 (ix) The Executive Life Insurance Program would be fully
funded by the Company. 
  
 (x) Prior to January
1, 2004, the Executive shall vest in and receive 75% of his total OPP allocation for the three-year term of the OPP (the “OPP Allocation”), and 

  

 9 

 
thereafter, the Executive would be entitled to vest in and receive 100% of his OPP Allocation; provided, however that this subsection (x) shall not apply for
any termination by the Executive for a Good Reason other than a Good Reason in Section 7(d)(i), Section 7(d)(iii) and in Section 7(d)(iv). This percentage of his OPP Allocation shall be paid to the Executive (less any cash OPP payments previously
received by the Executive) after the OPP reward is determined at the end of the OPP plan term, and will be reduced by a minimum amount paid as severance at the time of his termination of employment. This minimum amount paid at the time of his
termination of employment would be equal to the OPP reward for the Executive determined at the date of his termination of employment (applying the 75% OPP Allocation for a termination prior to January 1, 2004, if applicable), and the Compensation
Committee would have the discretion to pay the minimum amount to the Executive in cash or Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares. 
  
 (b) TERMINATION ON DEATH. Upon a termination of employment due to the Executive’s death, the Executive shall become 100% vested in
his stock options and restricted Common Shares awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Executive’s personal representative shall have a one-year period following the Executive’s death in which to exercise his vested stock options,
including those stock options that vested on death. The Company shall pay to the Executive’s personal representative any Base Salary, Incentive Bonus, OPP reward, expense reimbursements and all other compensation related payments that are
payable as of his date of death and that are related to his period of employment preceding his date of death. The Executive’s surviving spouse or beneficiary shall receive his vested SERP benefit, determined on the date of his death, payable
pursuant to the terms of the SERP as in effect on the date of his death, and within 60 days after the Executive’s death, shall pay to the Executive’s personal representative the prorated amount of Incentive Bonus at the Target Level for
both corporate and individual performance for the year in which the Executive’s death occurs, prorated for the portion of the year during which the Executive was employed prior to his death. 
  
 (c) BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE OR BY THE EXECUTIVE WITHOUT
GOOD REASON. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive his Base Salary, Incentive Bonus, expense reimbursements and all other
compensation related payments that are payable as of his termination of employment date and that are related to his period of employment preceding his termination date. The Executive shall be entitled to exercise his vested stock options, determined
as of his termination date, pursuant to the terms of the option grant. If the Executive is terminated for Cause or if he voluntarily terminates his employment for other than Good Reason, he shall forfeit all unvested options, subject to Section 9(b)
below, and the Company has the right to repurchase any unvested Restricted Share Grants in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Executive shall also be entitled to all benefits accrued and vested under any employee benefit
plan of the Company. 
  
 (d) TERMINATION OF
AUTHORITY. Immediately upon the Executive terminating or being terminated from his employment with the Company for any reason, notwithstanding anything else appearing in this Agreement or otherwise, the Executive will stop serving the functions of
his terminated or expired positions, and shall be without any of the authority or responsibility for such positions. On request of the Board at any time following his 

  

 10 

 
termination of employment for any reason, the Executive shall resign from the Board if then a member. 
  
 9. CHANGE OF CONTROL. 
  
 (a) CHANGE OF CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Change of Control” will be deemed to have taken place upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 
  
 (i) any person, entity or affiliated group, excluding the REIT or any employee benefit plan of the REIT, acquiring more than 50% of the
then outstanding voting shares of the REIT, 
  
 (ii) the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the REIT into another company, such that the holders of the voting shares of the REIT immediately prior to such merger or consolidation is less than 50% of the voting power of the
securities of the surviving company or the parent of such surviving company, 
  
 (iii) the complete liquidation of the REIT or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the REIT’s assets, such that after the transaction, the holders of the voting shares of the REIT immediately
prior to the transaction is less than 50% of the voting securities of the acquiror or the parent of the acquiror, or 
  
 (iv) a majority of the Board of the REIT votes in favor of a decision that a Change of Control has occurred. 
  
 (b) CERTAIN BENEFITS UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event
of a Change of Control, the Executive shall become 100% vested in the stock options and restricted Common Shares awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan (or any other or successor plan) and in his SERP benefit and if the Executive voluntarily
terminates his employment without Good Reason after the Change of Control, then the Executive shall have a one-year period following the Change of Control in which to exercise his vested stock options, including those stock options that vested upon
the Change of Control. 
  
 (c) EXCISE TAX.

  
 (i) In the event that any payment or benefit
received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a change in control or a termination of the Executive’s employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any
person whose actions result in a change in control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter called “Total Payments”), such that the Executive will be subject (in whole or
in part) to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Excise Tax”) on such payments and benefits, then the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up
Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of the Excise Tax and any federal, state and local tax on the Gross-Up Payment, will be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the
Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and 

  

 11 

 
state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on such date, net of the
maximum deduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. 
  
 (ii) The Executive or the Company may request, prior to the time any payments under this Agreement are made, a determination of whether
any or all of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and, if so, the amount of such Excise Tax and the federal, state and local tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment. If such a determination is requested, it shall be made promptly, at
the Company’s expense, by tax counsel selected by the Executive and approved by the Company (with such approval not being unreasonably withheld), and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on both parties. The Company agrees to
provide any information reasonably requested by such tax counsel. Tax counsel may engage accountants or other experts, at the Company’s expense, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable for them to reach a determination. For these purposes,
the term “tax counsel” shall mean a law firm with expertise in federal income tax matters. 
  
 (iii) In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder, the Executive
will repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax
and federal, state and local income tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, without any interest thereon. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder, the Company will make an additional Gross-Up
Payment in respect of such excess and in respect of any portion of the Excise Tax with respect to which the Company had not previously made a Gross-Up Payment (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such
excess and such portion) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined, without any interest thereon. 
  
 (iv) Each party agrees to notify the other party, in writing, of any claim that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company
of a Gross-Up Payment or might entitle the Company to a refund of all or part of any previous Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive or Company is
informed in writing of such claim or otherwise becomes aware of such claim. If notice of the claim arose as a result of a claim made against the Executive by a taxing authority, Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
thirty (30) day period following the date on which he gives notice to the Company. If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall: (A) give the
Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (B) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by the Executive and approved by the Company (with such approval not being unreasonably withheld), (C) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively
contest such claim, and (D) permit the Company to reasonably participate in any proceedings relating to such claim. The Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including legal fees and additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax (including interest and penalties 

  

 12 

 
with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. 
  
 (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall control
all audits and proceedings taken in connection with any claim, audit or proceeding involving Excise Taxes or Gross-Up Payments and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences
with the taxing authority in respect of any such claim, audit or proceeding and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the tax in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees
to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the
Executive to pay such tax and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis,
for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance. The Company shall be required to consult with and keep
the Executive fully apprised of developments and actions being considered or taken with respect to such claim, audit or proceeding. The Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which such a Gross-Up Payment
would be payable or refundable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue. Each party agrees to keep the other party fully apprised of developments concerning such claim, audit or
proceeding and to cooperate with the other in good faith in order to effectively resolve such claim, audit or proceeding. 
  
 (vi) For purposes of this Subsection (c), a determination of whether a payment is subject to Excise Taxes, including but not limited to, a
determination of change in control, shall be made pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 10. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that certain assets of the Company constitute Confidential Information. The term
“Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement shall mean all information which is known only to the Executive or the Company, other employees of the Company, or others in a confidential relationship with the Company, and relating to
the Company’s business including, without limitation, information regarding clients, customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, proprietary Company programs, sales products, profits, costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product
applications, technical processes, and trade secrets, as such information may exist from time to time, which the Executive acquired or obtained by virtue of work performed for the Company, or which the Executive may acquire or may have acquired
knowledge of during the performance of said work. The Executive shall not, during or after the Term, disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any other entity for any reason or
purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly, except as may be required pursuant to his employment hereunder, unless and until such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by the Executive of his
confidentiality obligations hereunder by law or in any judicial or administrative proceeding (in which case, the Executive shall provide the Company with notice). In the event of the 

  

 13 

 
termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether by the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall deliver to the Company all
documents and data pertaining to the Confidential Information and shall not take with him any documents or data of any kind or any reproductions (in whole or in part) or extracts of any items relating to the Confidential Information. The Company
acknowledges that prior to his employment with the Company, the Executive has lawfully acquired extensive knowledge of the industries and businesses in which the Company engages in business, and that the provisions of this Section 10 are not
intended to restrict the Executive’s use of such previously acquired knowledge. 
  
 In the event that the Executive receives a request or is required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or any part of the
Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to (a) promptly notify the Company in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirement, (b) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally
available steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement, and (c) assist the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or that the Company waives
compliance with the provisions hereof, the Executive shall not be liable for such disclosure unless disclosure to any such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by the Executive not permitted by this Agreement. 
  
 11. NON-COMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. During the Term and for a period of
18 calendar months after the termination of the Executive’s employment (the “Noncompete Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, partner or in any other
capacity whatsoever: (a) engage or assist others engaged, in whole or in part, in any business which is engaged in a business or enterprise that is substantially similar to the business of the Company that the Company was engaged in during the
period of the Executive’s employment with the Company, or (b) without the prior consent of the Board, employ or solicit the employment of, or assist others in employing or soliciting the employment of, any individual employed by the Company
(other than the Executive’s personal assistant or Executive’s secretary) at any time while the Executive was also so employed; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply in the event the Company
materially breaches this Agreement or the Release. 
  
 Nothing in
this Section 11 shall impede, restrict or otherwise interfere with the Executive’s management and operation of the Excluded Businesses. Further, nothing in this Section 11 shall prohibit Executive from making any passive investment in a public
company, or where he is the owner of five percent (5%) or less of the issued and outstanding voting securities of any entity, provided such ownership does not result in his being obligated or required to devote any managerial efforts. 
  
 The Executive agrees that the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to this
Section 11 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The
parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 11 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic 

  

 14 

 
area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law.

  
 12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. During the Term, the Executive
shall promptly disclose to the Company or any successor or assign, and grant to the Company and its successors and assigns without any separate remuneration or compensation other than that received by him in the course of his employment, his entire
right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions, developments, discoveries, models, or any other intellectual property of any type or nature whatsoever (“Intellectual Property”), whether developed by him during or after business
hours, or alone or in connection with others, that is in any way related to the business of the Company, its successors or assigns. This provision shall not apply to books or articles authored by the Executive during non-work hours, consistent with
his obligations under this Agreement, so long as such books or articles (a) are not funded in whole or in part by the Company, and (b) do not contain any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property of the Company. The Executive agrees, at the
Company’s expense, to take all steps necessary or proper to vest title to all such Intellectual Property in the Company, and cooperate fully and assist the Company in any litigation or other proceedings involving any such Intellectual Property.

  
 13. DISPUTES. 
  
 (a) EQUITABLE RELIEF. The Executive acknowledges and agrees
that upon any breach by the Executive of his obligations under Sections 10, 11, or 12 hereof, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and accordingly will be entitled to specific performance and other appropriate injunctive and equitable
relief. 
  
 (b) ARBITRATION. Excluding only
requests for equitable relief by the Company under Section 13(a), in the event that there is any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof, and the parties hereto shall not have resolved such claim or dispute
within 60 days after written notice from one party to the other setting forth the nature of such claim or dispute, then such claim or dispute shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, in accordance with
the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”), by an arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto or, in the absence of such agreement, by an arbitrator selected according to such Rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the Company or the Executive shall request, such arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one selected by the Company, one selected by the Executive and the third selected by
agreement of the first two arbitrators, or, in the absence of such agreement, in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator(s) shall be entered in any Court having jurisdiction thereof upon the application of
either party. The parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to have such arbitration completed as soon as is reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as provided in (c) below the losing party shall pay
the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) of the prevailing party with respect to such arbitration, except the Executive, if he is the losing party, shall not be required to pay such expenses and costs if
the claim relates to statutory discrimination claims that he would not otherwise be required to pay if such claim had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

 15 

 (c) LEGAL FEES. The Company shall pay or promptly reimburse the Executive for the
reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in successfully enforcing or defending any right of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement even if the Executive does not prevail on each issue. 
  
 14. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify the Executive, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by the Executive, including the cost of legal counsel selected and retained by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the Executive being or having been an officer, director, or employee of the Company or the REIT. 
  
 15. COOPERATION IN FUTURE MATTERS. The Executive hereby agrees that for a period of 18 months following his termination of employment he shall cooperate
with the Company’s reasonable requests relating to matters that pertain to the Executive’s employment by the Company, including, without limitation, providing information or limited consultation as to such matters, participating in legal
proceedings, investigations or audits on behalf of the Company, or otherwise making himself reasonably available to the Company for other related purposes. Any such cooperation shall be performed at scheduled times taking into consideration the
Executive’s other commitments, and the Executive shall be compensated at a reasonable hourly or per diem rate to be agreed upon by the parties to the extent such cooperation is required on more than an occasional and limited basis. The
Executive shall not be required to perform such cooperation to the extent it conflicts with any requirements of exclusivity of services for another employer or otherwise, nor in any manner that in the good faith belief of the Executive would
conflict with his rights under or ability to enforce this Agreement. 
  
 16. GENERAL.

 (c) WAIVERS. No delay or omission by either party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege

the succession by a third party to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise). When assigned to a successor, the
assignee shall assume this Agreement and expressly agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform it in the absence of such an assignment. For all purposes under this Agreement,

operation of law.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. The headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its meaning or construction. Whenever any word is used herein in one
gender, it shall be construed to include the other gender, and any word used in the singular shall be construed to include the plural in any case in which it would apply and vice versa. 
  

 17 

 (i) PAYMENTS AND EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AFTER DEATH. Any amounts payable hereunder after the
Executive’s death shall be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, whether received as a designated beneficiary or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Executive may designate a beneficiary or
beneficiaries for all purposes of this Agreement, and may change at any time such designation, by notice to the Company making specific reference to this Agreement. If no designated beneficiary survives the Executive or the Executive fails to
designate a beneficiary for purposes of this Agreement prior to his death, all amounts thereafter due hereunder shall be paid, as and when payable, to his spouse, if she survives the Executive, and otherwise to his estate. 
  
 (j) CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. The Executive acknowledges
that he has had a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel or other advisers of his own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Agreement, and that the Company has not made any representations or
warranties to the Executive concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Agreement other than as are reflected in this Agreement. 
  
 (k) WITHHOLDING. Any payments provided for in this Agreement shall be paid net of any applicable income tax withholding required under
federal, state or local law.

Clerical Workers (1982-1984=100). If the CPI is hereafter converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the determination of the CPI adjustment shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table for
converting the CPI, as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or, if the bureau shall no longer publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by an agency of the United States, or
failing such publication, by a nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information. 
  
 (m) SURVIVAL. The provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 APPENDIX A 
  

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN 
  
 The Company shall maintain for the benefit of the Executive a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) which shall provide
to the Executive a minimum annual pension, commencing at the Executive’s attaining age 60 and payable as a single life annuity, equal to 50% of the Executive’s average annual compensation (including Base Salary, Incentive Bonus and
payments under the OPP) for the three (3) calendar years of the last ten (10) years of his employment by the Company which produce the highest average amount (or the annualized average of such compensation for his actual period of employment if less
than three (3) calendar years) with a maximum annual benefit of $475,000. The Executive shall vest in his SERP benefit over a 5-year period, pursuant to the following vesting schedule: 
  

			
	 Year 1
	  	22%
		
	 Year 2
	  	43%
		
	 Year 3
	  	63%
		
	 Year 4
	  	82%
		
	 Year 5
	  	100%

  
 A year of vesting
service under the SERP is the 12-month period ending on each anniversary of his commencement of his employment with the Company, provided he is an employee of the Company on that vesting date. Executive also shall become 100% vested in his SERP
benefit upon (a) the effective date of a Change of Control, (b) his termination date if the Company terminates him without Cause, (c) his termination date if he terminates for Good Reason, (d) the date he dies, or (e) the date he becomes Permanently
Disabled. 
  
 The Executive’s annual SERP benefit shall be
paid to the Executive in annual payments commencing on the first day of the month immediately following his 60th birthday, or if later, his termination of employment with the Company after age 60 (referred to herein as his “Retirement
Date”) and continuing annually thereafter until the year in which the Executive dies. The Executive may elect, at least 30 days prior to the date on which SERP benefit payments are scheduled to begin, to receive monthly installment payments.
The Executive shall receive his annual SERP benefit for a minimum of ten (10) years. The Executive may elect, within 30 days of his termination of employment date, that payment of his vested SERP benefit shall commence at any time selected by the
Executive after he shall have terminated employment from the Company, provided that if payment begins prior to the Executive’s 60th birthday, such payment shall be actuarially reduced, as reasonably determined by the Board, to account for the
commencement of such payments prior to age 60. Payment of such SERP benefits shall continue until the date of the Executive’s death if he has received at least ten (10) annual payments. In the event Executive dies prior to receiving ten (10)
annual SERP payments, his surviving spouse (or his designated beneficiary) shall receive the actuarial equivalence of the balance due him in a single, lump sum cash payment. If Executive dies prior to the time benefit payments are scheduled to
begin, his surviving spouse (or designated beneficiary) shall receive the actuarial 

  

 A-1 

 
equivalence of his vested SERP benefit, determined as of the date of his death, in a single, lump sum cash payment. For purposes of determining actuarial
equivalence, the 1983 GAM Mortality Table and interest at the average rate on 30-year Treasury Securities (or such other rate as in effect under section 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) shall be used.

  
 The SERP is an unfunded plan and the Executive is an unsecured
general creditor of the Company. The Company shall establish a “rabbi trust” to be used in connection with the SERP.
