(i) the Termination by the Company of the Participants employment without Cause, or (ii)

ARTICLE IV AMOUNT, FORM, AND PAYMENT OF SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
4.1 Normal Retirement Benefit. Subject to the terms of this Plan, a Participant who retires
from Employment shall be entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit as set forth in the
Schedule of Retirement Benefits starting as of the date of the Participants retirement on or after
attaining Normal Retirement Age.
4.2 Form of Benefit. The benefit payable to a Participant shall be paid at the time and in
the manner set forth in the Schedule of Retirement Benefits.
4.3 Death Benefit and Disability. If a Participant who is credited with twenty (20) or more
years of service dies before such Participant has terminated employment, or terminates employment
because of the onset of a disability prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age, the benefit that
would have been payable to the Participant shall be paid to the Participant or to the Participants
designated beneficiary, if any (and otherwise to the Participants estate), as the case may be, at
the time and in the manner provided for in the Schedule of Retirement Benefits commencing as of the
date the Participant attains (or would have attained) his Normal Retirement Age. If a Participant
dies after payment of benefits under the Plan has commenced, the remaining installments, if any,
shall be paid to the Participants designated beneficiary, if any, and otherwise to the
Participants estate. For purposes of this Section 4.3, a determination of whether a Participants
employment has terminated because of the onset of a disability shall be made by the Board, at its
discretion, or by such committee as may be established by the Board pursuant to Section 5.1, below,
to act on its behalf with respect to the Plan.
4.4 Change of Control.
(a) In connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), the Company shall establish and
fund a trust (the Trust) as hereinafter described (and as permitted under Section 7.4) prior to
the consummation of the transaction that constitutes the Change of Control, which Trust shall be
irrevocable as of the date such transaction is consummated. The amount required to be contributed
to fund the Trust shall be the sum of: (A) the Actuarial Equivalent present value, as of the date
of funding, of the aggregate benefits expected to be paid to all Participants under the Plan, with
such amount to be determined by a nationally recognized
- 3 -
actuarial firm, which may be an actuarial firm that is at the time of determination providing
actuarial or other services to the Company or its benefit plans; plus (B) the Actuarial Equivalent
present value of the Trust administration and trustee fees and expenses (including the fees and
expenses of any agent of the trustee) which the trustee reasonably expects to be incurred over the
life of the Trust. The terms of the Trust shall generally follow the model grantor trust set forth
in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, except that (1) the Trust shall be irrevocable as of the date the
transaction constituting a Change of Control is consummated; (2) the Trust shall be non-amendable
by the Company (or any successor thereto) except with the prior written consent of the Participant;
(3) the power to direct the investment of the Trust assets shall be held by the Company; (4) the
Company (or any successor thereto) shall remain liable for the payment of Plan benefits to the
extent there is any shortfall of assets under the Trust; (5) the initial trustee and any successor
thereto shall be a bank or trust company with shareholder equity of at least $1.0 billion; and (6)
neither the Trust nor its assets shall be located or transferred outside the United States.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control:
(i) all Participants shall, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
be fully vested in their benefit hereunder. If the event constituting the Change of Control also
constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of
a substantial portion of the assets of the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, each Participant shall be entitled to payment of his
or her benefit hereunder, at the time the event constituting such Change of Control is consummated,
in the form of a single lump sum payment equal to the Actuarial Equivalent present value of his or
her benefit as of the date of payment.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the event constituting the Change of Control does not
also constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company shall take all such steps as are necessary
or appropriate in order to terminate the Plan, and pay out distributions of each Participants
benefit in the form of a lump sum at the earliest date such payment is permissible without
violating the distribution rules of Code Section 409A and applicable Treasury Regulations
thereunder, including for these purposes, the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) (relating to payments permitted upon a plan termination and/or liquidation), or
any applicable successor regulation or IRS guidance regarding such distributions, with the amount
of each Participants lump sum benefit being determined consistent with the provisions of Section
4.4(b)(i), above. In general, this will mean that payments will not be made within twelve (12)
months of the date the actions required to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan have been
completed, and all payments are made no later than twenty-four (24) months after the actions
required to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan have been completed. In addition, the
Company must also terminate and liquidate all other agreements, methods, programs, and other
arrangements that it sponsors that are of a type that would cause them to be aggregated with the
Plan if the same employee or service provider were both participating in the Plan and in that other
agreement, method, program, or other arrangement, and must not, within three (3) years following
the date the actions required to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan have been completed
establish a
- 4 -
new plan of a type that would be aggregated with the Plan under applicable provisions of Code
Section 409A or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(iii) In the event the termination and liquidation of the Plan, pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(ii)
above is determined to constitute a violation or Code Section 409A resulting in recognition of
income pursuant to Code Section 409A(a), the Company shall pay to each affected Participant an
amount (a 409A Gross-Up Amount) that is sufficient so that, net after payment by the Participant
of all federal, state and local taxes, including such additional taxes as may be imposed under Code
Section 409A(a), the Participant is left in the economic position the Participant would have been
in had there not been a violation of Code Section 409A.
(c) For purposes of this Plan, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the consummation of a plan or other arrangement
pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved or liquidated, or (ii) the consummation of a sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company (either directly or through a wholly-owned
subsidiary) with or into another corporation, other than, in either case, a merger or consolidation
of the Company in which holders of shares of the Companys common stock immediately prior to the
merger or consolidation will hold at least a majority of the ownership of common stock of the
surviving corporation (and, if one class of common stock is not the only class of voting securities
entitled to vote on the election of directors of the surviving corporation, a majority of the
voting power of the surviving corporations voting securities) immediately after the merger or
consolidation, which common stock (and, if applicable, voting securities) is to be held in the same
proportion as such holders ownership of Common Stock immediately before the merger or
consolidation, or (iv) the date any entity, person or group, (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), (other than (A)
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (B) any person who, on the date the Plan is
effective, shall have been the beneficial owner of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the
outstanding Company common stock), shall have become the beneficial owner of, or shall have
obtained voting control over, more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the
Company common stock, or (v) the first day after the date this Plan is effective when directors are
elected such that a majority of the Board of Directors shall have been members of the Board of
Directors for less than twenty-four (24) months, unless the nomination for election of each new
director who was not a director at the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
beginning of such period.
4.5 Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in the Schedule of Retirement Benefits, a
Participants benefit under the Plan shall be forfeited if the Participants employment terminates
for any reason prior to his or her (a) completion of twenty (20) years of service with the Company
and (b) attainment of Normal Retirement Age. For these purposes, periods of service prior to the
adoption of the Plan shall be taken into account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of
this Section 4.5, a Participant shall be vested in his benefit (x) if his termination of employment
occurs by reason of his death or the onset of a disability, as provided in Section 4.3, above, (y)
in the event there is a Change of Control of the Company, as provided in Section 4.4
- 5 -
above, or (z) upon Termination by the Company of the Participants employment without Cause
prior to Participants attainment of Normal Retirement Age, provided the Participant is credited
with at least twenty (20) years of service with the Company as of the date of such Termination by
the Company. Upon a Participants vesting due to one of the occurrences described in the foregoing
sentence, such Participant shall be entitled to commence receipt of benefits hereunder upon
attainment of Normal Retirement Age and shall be entitled to any other benefit provided hereunder
with respect to a vested Participant. The intent of this Section 4.5, as it applies to a
Termination by the Company without Cause, is to fully vest any Participant who has twenty (20)
years of service with the Company who is Terminated by the Company without Cause, but not to
accelerate the time at which benefit payments with respect to such Participant commence. In the
event there is a Change of Control of the Company, payment of benefits hereunder shall be as
provided in Section 4.4.
4.6 Special Rules Regarding Distributions; Compliance With Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan, no benefit under the Plan shall be distributed at a
time or in a manner that will be treated as a violation of the distribution rules of Code Section
409A(a)(2) and no alternative form of payment shall be permitted to be made under the Plan if such
alternative benefit form would violate any of the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(3) or (4)
relating to acceleration of benefits and changes in time and form of distribution (taking into
account any regulations or other guidance issued by Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with
regard to these Code provisions as may be in effect from time to time). In addition, the following
specific rules regarding distribution of Plan benefits shall be applicable:
(a) No benefit under the Plan shall be distributed to any Participant who is a Specified
Employee by reason of such Participants Separation From Service until the date that is six months
following the date of the Participants Separation From Service.
(b) No distribution to any Participant of any benefit under the Plan shall be made prior to
the date of such Participants Separation From Service.

ARTICLE VI AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
6.1 The Company hereby reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan (and the
Schedule of Retirement Benefits) at any time, and from time to time, by action of a majority of the
members of the Board. Except as described below in this Article VI, no such amendment or
termination shall in any material manner reduce or adversely affect any Participants rights to
benefits hereunder without the consent of such Participant.
6.2 The Board may terminate the Plan and commence termination payout for all Participants, or
remove certain employees as Participants, if it is determined by the United States Department of
Labor or a court of competent jurisdiction that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit
plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA which is not exempt from the provisions of Parts
2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA; provided, however, that if the Plan is terminated pursuant to this
sentence, then all Participants shall be deemed to be fully vested in the benefits described in
Article IV as of the date immediately preceding such termination and shall be paid in a single
lump-sum the actuarially equivalent present value of such benefit as soon as practicable (but in no
case more than 90 days) after such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of the
Plan and accelerated payment of benefits to any Participant following a Change of Control shall not
be permitted to the extent such payment would result in a violation of Code Section 409A.
ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Unfunded Plan. This Plan is intended to be a Top Hat Plan and therefore exempt from the
provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA. Such status shall not be adversely affected
by the establishment of any trust pursuant to Paragraph 7.4 below.
7.2 Unsecured General Creditor. Each Participant and his or her beneficiaries, heirs,
successors, and assigns shall have no secured legal or equitable rights, interests, or claims in
any property or assets of the Company, nor shall any such persons have any rights, interests or
claims in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts, or the proceeds therefrom owned or which
may be acquired by the Company. Except as provided in Paragraph 7.4, such policies, annuity
contracts, or other assets of the Company shall not be held under any trust for the benefit of a
Participant, his or her beneficiaries, heirs, successors or assigns, or held, in any way, as
collateral security for the fulfilling of any obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and
all of the Companys assets and policies shall be, and shall remain for purposes of this Plan, the
general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Companys obligation under this Plan
shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
7.3 Supplemental Benefits. As of the Effective Date, the Plan is the intended to be a
supplemental source of Company paid retirement benefits for Participants and not the sole source of
such benefits. The benefit payable hereunder shall, therefore, not be subject to any reduction
because of benefits that may be paid or otherwise provided to a Participant, except to the extent
that an offset is explicitly provided for in a contractual arrangement with a particular
Participant.
- 8 -
7.4 Trust Fund.
(a) At its discretion, the Company may establish one or more grantor trusts, with such
trustees as the Board may approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of benefits under
this Plan. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the
claims of the Companys general creditors. To the extent any benefits provided under this Plan are
actually paid from any such trust, the Company shall have no further obligation with respect
thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be
paid by, the Company.
(b) At its discretion, the Company may, in addition to or in lieu of establishing one or more
grantor trusts as described in clause (a) above, take other actions to fund the benefits provided
for under this Plan, but in no event shall the Company establish any funding mechanism which would
result in the Plan failing to qualify as a Top Hat Plan exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3,
and 4 of Title I of ERISA.
7.5 Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage, or otherwise encumber, hypothecate or convey
in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which
are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable,
provided that a Participant may assign the right to receive such amounts to trusts or limited
partnerships established for the benefit of the Participants spouse or children. No part of the
amount payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the
payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other
person, nor shall such amounts or rights to such amounts be transferable by operation of law in the
event of a Participants or any other persons bankruptcy or insolvency.
7.6 Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed
to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and any Participant, and Participants
(and Participants beneficiaries) shall have no rights against the Company except as may otherwise
be specifically provided herein. Moreover, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a
Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with the right
of the Company to discipline or discharge any Participant at any time.
7.7 Validity. If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason,
said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
7.8 Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Company and its successors and assigns, and the Company shall require all its successors and
assigns to expressly assume its obligations hereunder. The term successors, as used herein,
shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation,
purchase or otherwise, acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company.
7.9 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require Participants to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local tax withholding
- 9 -
requirements, or to deduct from payments made pursuant to the Plan amounts sufficient to
satisfy such tax withholding requirements.
7.10 Governing Law. The provisions of this agreement shall be construed and interpreted
according to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania except as preempted by Federal law.
7.11 Forfeiture. All benefits hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture in their entirety in
the event that Participants employment is terminated for Cause.
- 10 -
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused the Plan, as amended and restated, to be adopted as
of the Effective Date.
