 BACKGROUND:

  
 WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) exists and that the threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control can result in significant distractions to
its key management personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to retain the services of the Executive in the event of a
threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control and to ensure the Executive’s continued dedication and efforts in such event without undue concern for the Executive’s personal, financial and employment security; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in order to induce the
Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, particularly in the event of a threat or the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with the Executive to provide the Executive with certain benefits in
connection with a Change in Control and certain terminations of employment following a Change in Control.

 2. Term and Effect of Agreement. 
  
 2.1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date and shall continue until December 31, 2007,
provided that on December 31, 2006 and on the last day of each subsequent calendar year, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one (1) year unless, at least ninety (90) days before such year-end date, the Company or the
Executive gives written notice to the other that the term of this Agreement shall not be so extended; and provided further that, notwithstanding any such non-extension notice, the term of this Agreement shall not expire during (a) a Potential Change
in Control Period, (b) the two (2) year period beginning on the date of a Change in Control (including a Change in Control that occurs during a Potential Change in Control Period), or (c) such longer period following a Change in Control until all of
the Company’s obligations under Sections 4 and 5 have been satisfied and all of the Executive’s obligations under Section 6.3 have been satisfied. 
  
 2.2. No Implied Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall alter the Executive’s status as an “at will”
employee of the Company or be construed to imply that the Executive’s employment with the Company is guaranteed for any period of time; provided that the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement if it desires to
terminate the Executive’s employment during a Potential Change in Control Period or during the two (2) year period beginning on the date of a Change in Control. 
  
 3. Notice of Termination. During a Potential Change in Control Period and during the two (2) year

Executive’s employment by the Company shall be communicated to the Executive by means of a Notice of Termination under this Agreement, and no such
purported termination shall be effective unless the Executive receives a Notice of Termination under this Agreement. Any Notice of Termination by the Company that does not substantially satisfy the requirements of Section 1.15 shall constitute a
Notice of Termination without Cause. Any Notice of Termination by the Executive that does not substantially satisfy the requirements of Section 1.15 shall constitute a Notice of Termination other than for Good Reason. The Executive’s right to
terminate his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury. The Executive’s continued employment with the Company shall not constitute a
consent to, or a waiver of any rights with respect to, any act or omission of the Company that constitutes Good Reason. 
  
 4. Change in Control Benefits. 
  
 4.1. Compensation and Benefits following Termination. If, during a Potential Change in Control Period or during the two (2) year
period beginning on the date of a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, then the Executive shall be entitled to all of the following compensation and
benefits: 
  
 (a) The Company shall pay the
Executive a cash payment in an amount equal to the Applicable Multiplier times the sum of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the Bonus Amount. 
  
 (b) The Company shall pay the Executive all Accrued Compensation. 
  
 (c) During the period beginning on the Termination Date and continuing past the end of the calendar month
during which the Termination Date occurs for a number of calendar months equal to twelve (12) times the Applicable Multiplier (the “Continuation Period”), the Company shall, at its expense, continue on behalf of the Executive (and
the Executive’s dependents and beneficiaries) the retirement, life insurance, long-term disability, medical, dental and other group health benefits and plans (i) provided to the Executive at any time during the Potential Change in Control
Period or at any time on or after the date of a Change in Control, or (ii) provided to other similarly situated executives who continue in the employ of the Company during the Continuation Period. The benefits and coverage (including employee
deductibles and costs) provided pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) during the Continuation Period shall be no less favorable to the Executive (and the Executive’s dependents and beneficiaries) than the most favorable of such benefits and coverage
in effect during any of the periods referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. This Section 4.1(c) shall not be interpreted so as to limit any benefits to which the Executive (or the Executive’s dependents or beneficiaries) may be entitled
under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs or practices following the Executive’s termination of employment, including retirement, life insurance, disability and medical benefits. The Executive may elect, by giving written
notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, to waive the benefits continuation under this Section 4.1(c) and receive in full satisfaction thereof a one-time taxable cash payment in an amount equal to the Applicable
Multiplier times seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000). 
  
 (d) The Executive shall be eligible for comprehensive outplacement assistance up to a maximum cost equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Base Amount, payable by the Company within one (1) year after the Termination
Date directly to an outside vendor selected by the Executive. The Executive may elect, by giving written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, to waive the assistance due under this Section 4.1(d) and receive in
full satisfaction thereof a one-time taxable cash payment in an amount equal to 20% of the Base Amount. 
  

 -6- 

 4.2. Compensation and Benefits following Disability. If, during a Potential Change
in Control Period or during the two (2) year period beginning on the date of a Change in Control, the Executive is unable to substantially perform his or her full-time duties with the Company as a result of any physical or mental illness or injury,
then the Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s base salary and shall continue to provide to the Executive all other compensation and benefits then in effect, unless and until the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
for Disability in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 4.3. Equity Awards. If, during a Potential Change in Control Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, or if a Change in Control occurs (irrespective of whether the Executive’s employment is terminated), then notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in any of the Executive’s
outstanding Equity Awards or in any of the Company’s Equity Plans, (a) all of the Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards other than PASOs shall become immediately fully vested, all restrictions set forth in such Equity Awards related to the
passage of time and/or continued employment shall immediately lapse, and all option shares and other rights exercisable under such Equity Awards shall immediately become fully exercisable, and (b) with respect to each of the Executive’s
outstanding PASOs, (i) if the performance period shall not have been completed, then a prorated number of the total PASO shares (based solely upon the elapsed time from the beginning of such performance period) shall become immediately vested and
exercisable, (ii) if the performance period shall have been completed, then all PASO shares already subject to accelerated vesting pursuant to the terms of the PASO (if any) shall become immediately vested and exercisable, and (iii) otherwise, there
shall not be any acceleration of vesting or exercisability of the PASO shares. 
  
 4.4. Payments and Withholdings. The amounts provided for in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) shall be paid in a single lump sum cash
payment within ten (10) days after the Termination Date (or earlier, if required by applicable law). The amounts provided for in Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d) shall be paid in a single lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days after the Executive
gives notice of the applicable election described in such Sections. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement (including Tax Gross-Up Payments) shall be subject to applicable withholdings of income, excise and employment taxes and any other
applicable payroll deductions such as the employee contributions to the cost of group health benefits. 
  
 4.5. Release. Upon receipt of the payment due to the Executive under Section 4.1(a), the Executive shall immediately deliver to the
Company a release, in the form provided by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive, in which the Executive releases all wrongful termination, discrimination and other claims against the Company relating to the Executive’s
employment or termination of employment with the Company, provided that such release shall expressly exclude (a) claims under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Executive, (b) claims for benefits under benefit plans in
which the Executive (and the Executive’s dependents and beneficiaries) continues to participate or has the right to continue to participate, (c) claims for indemnification as a former director, officer and/or employee of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, and (d) claims as a stockholder or option holder of the Company or other claims arising from any other relationship between the Company and the Executive other than the employment relationship. 
  
 4.6. No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall not be
required to mitigate the amount of any cash payment or the value of any benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment, by seeking benefits from another employer or other source, or by pursuing any other type of mitigation. No
payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any cash compensation or the value of any benefit provided to the Executive in any subsequent 

  

 -7- 

 
employment or from any other source. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the Continuation Period, the Executive begins to receive group health benefits
from another employer that substantially duplicate health benefits being provided by the Company pursuant to Section 4.1(c), then the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of the duplicate benefits and the Company may discontinue the duplicate
benefits being provided pursuant to Section 4.1(c), but only to the extent that such discontinuation would not negatively affect other, non-duplicative benefits being provided thereunder. 
  
 4.7. No Impact on Other Benefits, Programs and
Agreements. The payments and benefits provided for in this Section 4 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall not limit any additional or other benefits to which the Executive may be entitled (except pursuant to any severance or termination plan,
program, policy or practice to the extent relating to Change in Control). Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any bonus plan, incentive plan, fringe benefit, or other plan or
program provided by the Company (except for any severance or termination plan, program, policy or practice to the extent relating to Change in Control) and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as
the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company. Amounts that are or become vested benefits or that the Executive otherwise is or becomes entitled to receive under any outstanding Equity Award, bonus plan, incentive plan, fringe
benefit, or other plan or program provided by the Company shall be paid or provided in accordance therewith, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 
  
 5. Tax Gross-Up Payments. 
  
 5.1. Amount. If any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to the Executive one or
more additional cash payments (the “Tax Gross-Up Payments”) in such amounts so that the net cash amount retained by the Executive, after deduction or payment of (a) the Excise Tax imposed on the Total Payments (including the Excise
Tax imposed on the Tax Gross-Up Payments) and (b) all federal, state and local income and FICA taxes imposed upon the Tax Gross-Up Payments, shall equal the excess of the Total Payments over the Tax Gross-Up Payments (it being understood that this
is a circular definition that requires a reiterative calculation). 
  
 5.2. Method of Determination. One or more determinations (each a “Tax Determination”) as to (a) whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (b) the amount of the Excise
Tax imposed thereon, and (c) the calculation of the related Tax Gross-Up Payment shall be made by the Company in consultation with such accounting and tax professionals as the Company considers necessary (with all costs related thereto paid by the
Company). For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) unless and
to the extent that, in the written opinion of tax counsel selected (and paid for) by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (“Tax Counsel”), certain Payments do not constitute parachute payments, and (ii) all
“excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless and to the extent that, in the written opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments represent
reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax. For purposes of determining the amount of any Tax Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed
to pay (x) federal income tax at the highest marginal rate in effect for the calendar year during which such Tax Gross-Up Payment is to be made, (y) FICA taxes at the highest rate applicable to wages in excess of the Social Security taxable wage
base in effect for such calendar year, and (z) state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates in effect for such calendar year in the state and local municipality of the Executive’s principal residence as of the Termination Date,
net of the reduction in federal income tax attributable to the deduction of such state and local income taxes, and taking into 

  

 -8- 

 
account any limitation on deductions or credits or comparable negative impact for purposes of federal income tax as a result of the Total Payments made to
the Executive during such calendar year. 
  
 5.3.
Finalization and Payment. An initial Tax Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive within ten (10) days after the Termination Date; provided that if the amount thereof cannot be fully determined by the tenth (10th) day after the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to the Executive by such day an estimate of such payment, determined by
the Company reasonably and in good faith, and the Company shall pay to the Executive the remainder of such payment (if any) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Termination Date. Whenever any Tax Gross-Up Payment (or estimate thereof) is made to the Executive, the Company
shall provide to the Executive the Company’s Tax Determination related to such payment, together with detailed supporting calculations and explanations and, if applicable, opinions of Tax Counsel. The Executive shall have the right to dispute
any Tax Determination (a “Tax Dispute”) by so notifying the Company within fifteen (15) days after receiving such Tax Determination and the required supporting documentation. Each Tax Determination shall become final and binding
upon the parties (a) if there is no Tax Dispute, at the end of such fifteen (15) day period, without change, or (b) if there is a Tax Dispute, upon final resolution of such Tax Dispute, with such changes as may result from such Tax Dispute. Other
than the initial Tax Gross-Up Payment as provided for above, any Tax Gross-Up Payment due from the Company to the Executive shall be paid within five (5) days after the related Tax Determination becomes final and binding, provided that, in the event
of a Tax Dispute, any undisputed portion of the Tax Gross-Up Payment shall be paid within five (5) days after the Executive notifies the Company of the Tax Dispute. 
  
 5.4. Underpayments and Overpayments. The parties acknowledge that, as a result of potential
uncertainties in the application of the provisions of the Code dealing with the Excise Tax, it is possible that Tax Gross-Up Payments should have been made by the Company but were not (an “Underpayment”) or that Tax Gross-Up
Payments made by the Company should not have been made (an “Overpayment”). In either such event, the Company shall make a Tax Determination of the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred, and the Executive shall
have the right to initiate a Tax Dispute related thereto. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive
shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of amended returns and claims for refunds), follow the Company’s reasonable instructions and otherwise reasonably cooperate
with the Company to correct such Overpayment. 
  
 6.
Restrictive Covenants.  
  
 6.1.
Non-disclosure. At all times after the Effective Date and continuing at all times after the Termination Date, the Executive will not disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use for the benefit of anyone other than the Company, any
confidential or proprietary information relating to the Company’s business, whether acquired by the Executive before, during or after employment with the Company. The Executive acknowledges that the Company’s proprietary and confidential
information includes, by way of example: (a) the identity of customers and prospects, their specific requirements, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individual contacts; (b) prices, renewal dates and other detailed terms of customer
and supplier contracts and proposals; (c) pricing policies, information about costs, profits and sales, methods of delivering software and services, marketing and sales strategies, and software and service development strategies; (d) source code,
object code, specifications, user manuals, technical manuals and other documentation for software products; (e) screen designs, report designs and other designs, concepts and visual expressions for software products; (f) employment and payroll
records; (g) forecasts, budgets, acquisition models and other non public financial information; and 

  

 -9- 

 
(h) expansion plans, business or development plans, management policies, information about possible acquisitions or divestitures, potential new products,
markets or market extensions, and other business and acquisition strategies and policies. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
  
 6.2. Works and Ideas. The Executive will promptly
communicate to the Company, in writing, all marketing strategies, product ideas, software designs and concepts, software enhancement and improvement ideas, and other ideas and inventions (collectively, “Works and Ideas”) pertaining
to the Company’s business in any material respect, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, that are made, written, developed or conceived by the Executive, alone or with others, at any time (during or after business hours) while the
Executive is employed by the Company or during the three months after the Termination Date. The Executive acknowledges that all of those Works and Ideas will be the Company’s exclusive property, and hereby assigns and agrees to assign all of
the Executive’s right, title and interest in those Works and Ideas to the Company. The Executive will sign all documents that the Company reasonably requests to confirm its ownership of those Works and Ideas, and will reasonably cooperate with
the Company, at the Company’s expense, to allow the Company to take full advantage of those Works and Ideas. 
  
 6.3. Non-competition and Non-solicitation. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated under circumstances
that require the Company to provide compensation and benefits to the Executive pursuant to Section 4.1, then provided that the Company has not defaulted upon any of its obligations under Section 4.1 or other provisions of this Agreement, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the Continuation Period, (a) render any material services for any organization, or engage in any business, that competes with the Company in any material respect, or (b) solicit or
contact, for the purpose or with the effect of competing with the Company in any material respect (i) any customer or acquisition target under contract with the Company at any time during the last two years of the Executive’s employment with
the Company, (ii) any prospective customer or acquisition target that received or requested a proposal, offer or letter of intent from the Company at any time during the last two years of the Executive’s employment with the Company, (iii) any
affiliate of any such customer or prospect, (iv) any of the individual contacts at customers or acquisition targets established by the Company, the Executive or others at the Company during the period of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, or (v) any individual who is an employee or independent contractor of the Company at the time of the solicitation or contact or who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company within three months before such time. 

 
 6.4. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges
that his or her failure to perform any of the covenants in this Section 6 would cause irreparable injury to the Company and cause damages to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to ascertain or quantify. Accordingly, without limiting
any other remedies that may be available with respect to any breach of this Section 6, the Executive consents to the entry of an injunction to restrain any breach of this Section 6. 
  
 7. Successors and Assigns; Binding Agreement. 
  
 7.1. General Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by and against the Company, and its Successors and Assigns. The Company shall require any Successors and Assigns to expressly assume and agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement and to perform the Company’s obligations
under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform such obligations had no succession or assignment taken place. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be
assignable or transferable by the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiaries or legal or personal 

  

 -10- 

 
representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive
and his or her heirs, estate, beneficiaries and legal and personal representatives. 
  
 7.2. Spin-off. If SDS completes the contemplated spin-off of its Availability Services business (which was announced on October 4,
2004) or any comparable transaction (“Spin-off”), then (a) on or before the date of completion of the Spin-off (“Completion Date”), SDS shall require the publicly traded parent entity resulting from the Spin-off
(“Spin Entity”) to expressly join and agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement as an additional party hereto; (b) after the Completion Date, the respective obligations of SDS and the Spin Entity under this Agreement shall
depend upon whether the Executive is an employee of SDS or one of its subsidiaries, or of the Spin Entity or one of its subsidiaries (in either case, the one where the Executive is employed is referred to as the “Post-Spin
Employer,” the other is referred to as the “Other Post-Spin Company,” and the two together are referred to as the “Post-Spin Companies”), provided that, if the executive transfers from one to the other
within two (2) years after the Completion Date, thereafter the new employer shall be considered the Post-Spin Employer and the prior employer shall be considered the Other Post-Spin Company; (c) the parties acknowledge that, as a result of the
Spin-off, the Executive’s Equity Awards outstanding as of the Completion Date will be converted into Equity Awards in both of the Post-Spin Companies; (d) after the Completion Date, except as provided in Section 7.2(f), only the Post-Spin
Employer shall be considered “the Company” for purposes of this Agreement and in particular the provisions of Section 4 (other than Section 4.3) shall apply only to a Change in Control of (or Potential Change in Control Period with respect
to) the Post-Spin Employer; (e) if, during a Potential Change in Control Period with respect to the Post-Spin Employer, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Post-Spin Employer without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, or if
a Change in Control of the Post-Spin Employer occurs (irrespective of whether the Executive’s employment is terminated), Section 4.3 will apply to the Executive’s Equity Awards in both of the Post-Spin Companies; (f) if, during a Potential
Change in Control Period with respect to the Other Post-Spin Company, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Post-Spin Employer without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, or if a Change in Control of the Other Post-Spin Company
occurs (irrespective of whether the Executive’s employment is terminated), Section 4.3 will apply only to the Executive’s Equity Awards in the Other Post-Spin Company. 
  
 8. Dispute Resolution and Legal Fees. 
  
 8.1. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement, or involving any alleged
breach of this Agreement, or involving the subject matter, interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Claims”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in
accordance with the then current National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive relief. Any such action must be brought in the state or federal courts
located in the Eastern District of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such purposes. 
  
 8.2. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ALL
ARBITRABLE CLAIMS. 
  
 8.3. No Withholding
of Undisputed Payments. During the pendency of any dispute or controversy, the Company shall not withhold any payments or benefits due to the Executive, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, except for the specific portion of any payment or
benefit that is the 

  

 -11- 

 
subject of a bona fide dispute between the parties. If any such dispute or controversy arises before the Termination Date, or concerns whether an effective
Notice of Termination was given, or concerns when the Termination Date is, or a similar matter, then the Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s compensation and provide the Executive’s benefits, as in effect before the dispute
arose, until final resolution of the dispute. 
  
 8.4. Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive on an after-tax basis for all costs and expenses (including court and arbitration costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses that reflect common
practice with respect to the matters involved) incurred by the Executive as a result of any claim, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the contesting, disputing or enforcing of any provision, right or obligation under this
Agreement, except where it is finally determined that the Executive’s position was substantially without merit and asserted in bad faith. 
  
 9. Other Provisions. 
  
 9.1. Notice. All notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement (including any Notice of Termination) shall be
in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given, delivered and received by the intended recipient as follows: (a) if personally delivered, on the business day after it is sent (as evidenced by the receipt of a reputable personal delivery service);
(b) if mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, four (4) business days after such mailing (as evidenced by the receipt for the certified or registered mail); (c) if sent by overnight delivery service,
delivery charges prepaid, on the second business day after it is sent (as evidenced by the receipt of a reputable overnight delivery service); or (d) if sent by fax or e-mail, on the business day after it is sent, if confirmed within forty-eight
(48) hours thereafter by a signed original sent in one of the manners set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above. Notices shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses last given by each party to the other, and all notices to the
Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chairman of the Board with a copy to the Secretary. Each party shall keep the other informed of its current mailing address, street address (if different), fax number (if available) and e-mail
address. 
  
 9.2. Entire Agreement. The
terms of this Agreement are intended to be the final expression of the parties’ agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous, oral or written, agreement
or discussions between the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this agreement shall not have any effect upon any other employee agreement, confidentiality agreement, Equity Awards, EIC plans, benefit plans and other arrangements in effect
between the Company and the Executive other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement. No provision of any future Equity Award, EIC plan or other contract between the Company and the Executive (“Future Provision”) shall
constitute a modification to any provision of this Agreement, even if the Future Provision is inconsistent with a provision of this Agreement, unless and only to the extent that the Future Provision specifically refers to this Agreement and includes
a statement that the parties expressly intend to modify a provision of this Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not
expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 9.3.
Modification, Waiver and Discharge. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged, unless such modification, waiver or discharge is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and any such
modification, waiver or discharge shall be narrowly construed to apply only to the specific circumstances in which it is given and not to any other similar or dissimilar circumstances or at any other time. No failure to exercise or delay in
exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between 

  

 -12- 

 
the parties with respect to any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy;
and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement. 
  
 9.4. Severability. Any term or provision of this
Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or
the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is
invalid, void or unenforceable, then the court or other authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any
invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. 
  
 9.5. Headings. Section and subsection headings are
for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute part of this Agreement or affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 
  
 9.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original of this
Agreement and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one original counterpart hereof. 
  
 9.7. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED SOLELY THEREIN. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement
to be executed by its duly authorized officer and the Executive has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
