(a)     Limit. The initial total aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date of the approval of this Plan by the Company’s shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, including shares subject to then outstanding Awards, shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January of each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2013, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the positive difference, if any, between the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares subject to outstanding Awards, on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar year and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares subject to outstanding Awards, on the first trading day of such immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted on the basis of the additional shares of Common Stock resulting from such annual increases. The limitation established by this Section 4(a) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16. In addition, any shares that remain available for future grant in the Healthcare Services Group, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”) as of the Effective Date shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan. Upon the Effective Date, no further awards may be made from the Prior Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares subject to a tandem SAR (as described more fully in Section 10 hereof) shall be charged against the authorized shares only once for the overall number of shares subject thereto and not for both the number of shares subject to the tandem SAR portion of the Award and the number of shares subject to the Option portion of the Award. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply whether an exercised tandem SAR is settled in cash or stock, or partly in both. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 8 hereof with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the maximum number of shares that may be granted as Stock Options or SARs under the Plan to an employee who is a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed 50,000 shares.

(b)     Subject to the overall 5% limit, as adjusted, provided in Section 4(a), the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Restricted Shares may be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date of the approval of this Plan by the Company’s shareholders. The limitation established by the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(a) above and Section 16.

(c)     If any Option is exercised by tendering Common Stock, either actually or by attestation, to the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of such Option under the Plan, or if the tax withholding requirements are satisfied through such tender, only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the Common Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for Awards under the Plan.

(d)     Replenishment Provisions. Shares subject to any Awards that expire without being exercised or that are forfeited (and shares subject to awards made prior to the Effective Date under a Prior Plan that expire or are forfeited) shall again be available for future grants of Awards, provided that shares subject to a tandem SAR shall be replenished only once for the overall number of shares subject thereto and not for both the number of shares subject to the tandem SAR portion of the Award and the number of shares subject to the Option portion of the Award. Shares subject to Awards that have been retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award shall not count against the limit set forth in paragraph (a) above. The Company shall not be under any obligation, however, to make any such future Awards.

(f)     Adjustments. The limits provided for in this Section 4 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16(a).

Awards may be granted or offered only to Eligible Persons. The Committee shall have the authority to select the individual Participants to whom Awards may be granted from among such class of Eligible Persons and to determine the number and form of Awards to be granted to each Participant.

6.     Agreement.

The terms and conditions of each grant or sale of Awards shall be embodied in an Agreement in a form approved by the Committee, which shall contain terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan and which shall incorporate the Plan by reference. Each Agreement shall: (a) state the date as of which the Award was granted or sold, and (i) in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, set forth the number of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights being granted to the Participant and the applicable Option Price and/or exercise price (for Stock Appreciation Rights) and expiration date(s), and (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares and other Awards, set forth the number of Restricted Shares or other Awards being granted or offered to the Participant and, if applicable, the purchase price or other consideration for such Restricted Shares or other Awards; (b) set forth the vesting schedule (if any); (c) set forth any other terms and conditions established by the Committee including any additional covenants and promises that the Committee deems, in its discretion, are necessary or desirable, which covenants and promises may include, but are not limited to, covenants regarding confidential information and trade secrets, covenants regarding company property, covenants not to compete, covenants not to solicit clients or accounts, cross‑over employment covenants, and covenants not to disparage the Company; (d) set forth any Qualifying Performance Criteria as the Committee may determine in its discretion; (e) be signed by the recipient of the Award and a person designated by the Committee; and (f) be delivered to the recipient of the Award.

7.     Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)     Restrictions on Transfer. No Restricted Share, Bonus Stock, Performance Share, or Option Share or other share of Common Stock issued as or pursuant to any Award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of (or made the subject of any derivative transaction) to or with any third party (other than a Permitted Transferee); provided, however, that any such restriction on transfer shall terminate as to any such share when such share is no longer subject to any term, condition or other restriction under the Plan (other than Section 7(b)). No Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Unit, or other Award not in the form of a share of Common Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of (or made the subject of any derivative transaction) to or with any third party other than a Permitted Transferee. Each Permitted Transferee (other than the Company) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise, of any Award (or share issued in respect thereof) shall, as a condition to the transfer thereof to such Permitted Transferee, execute an agreement pursuant to which it shall become a party to the Agreement applicable to the transferor.

(b)     No Participant will, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, assign, transfer, grant or sell a participation in, create any encumbrance on or otherwise dispose of any Award or any Shares with respect thereto (or solicit any offers to buy or otherwise acquire, or take a pledge of, any Award or any Shares with respect thereto), in any manner that would conflict with or violate the 1933 Act.

8.     Options.

(a)     Terms of Options Generally. The Committee may grant Options designated as Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. Options may be granted to any Eligible Person.

B.     The Option Price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option Price and the number of shares purchased, together with any amounts required to be withheld for tax purposes under Section 17(c) of this Plan. Such consideration must be paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Committee for that purchase, which forms may (but are not required to) include:

(1)     cash;

(2)     check or wire transfer;

(3)     tendering (either actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant, provided that the shares have been held for the minimum period required by applicable financial accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes;

(4)     to the extent permitted by applicable law, Cashless Exercise; or

(5)     such other consideration as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any Participant may, at any time, exercise any Vested Option (or portion thereof) owned by such Participant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise without any prior approval or consent of the Committee.

(ii)     Vesting of Options. Each Option shall vest and become exercisable on such terms and conditions as shall be prescribed by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.

Except as may be provided in subsection (viii)(D) hereof, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

A.     if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or as a result of the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, or as a result of death, Permanent Disability or Retirement, the Participant (or, in the case of the Participant’s death, such Participant’s Beneficiary) may exercise any Options, to the extent vested as of the date of such termination, at any time until the earlier of (I) three months following the date of such termination of employment other than for Cause, or as a result of the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason; (II) 12 months following the date of such termination of employment due to Permanent Disability or death; (III) three years (three months for an Incentive Stock Option) following the date of such termination of employment due to Retirement; and (IV) the expiration of the Option under the provisions of clause (iii) above; and

B.     if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or as a result of the Participant’s resignation other than for Good Reason or Retirement, all of the Participant’s Options (whether or not vested) shall expire and be canceled without any payment therefor as of the date of such termination.

Any Options not exercised within the applicable time period specified above shall expire at the end of such period and be canceled without any payment therefor.

With respect to a non-employee director or advisor who is a Participant in the Plan, the references to termination of employment above shall be deemed to refer to termination of service as a director or termination of service as an advisor, as applicable, and as determined in the discretion of the Committee.

(v)     Certain Restrictions. Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.

(vi)     Stockholder Rights; Option and Share Adjustments. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option until a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall have been issued to such Participant. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, no adjustment (including an adjustment of an Option’s exercise price) shall be made with respect to (A) outstanding Options for dividends or other distributions, whether made with respect to Common Stock or otherwise, or (B) dividends, distributions or other rights in respect of any share of Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record thereof.

(vii)     Dividends and Distributions. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company received by the Participant as a result of a stock dividend or other distribution in respect of Option Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Option Shares.

(viii)     Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations, and restrictions:

A.     Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or parent corporation of the Company, within the meaning of Code Section 424.

B.     No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this Plan after the 10‑year anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

C.     The aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the Date of Grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which the Incentive Stock Options awarded to any Participant first become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. For purposes of the $100,000 limit, the Participant’s Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries will be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option would exceed the $100,000 limit, the Incentive Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary.

D.     If the Committee exercises its discretion to permit an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised by a Participant more than three months after the termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason or more than 12 months if the Participant is Permanently Disabled, the Incentive Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. For purposes of this subclause D, a Participant’s employment relationship will be treated as continuing uninterrupted during any period that the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or another Approved Leave of Absence if the period of leave does not exceed 90 consecutive days, or a longer period to the extent that the Participant’s right to reemployment with the Company or a Subsidiary is guaranteed by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds 90 consecutive days and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed by statute or contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have ceased on the 91st day of the leave.

(ix)     Additional Terms and Conditions. Each Option granted hereunder, and any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with such Option, shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as are prescribed by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement.

(b)     Unvested Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, upon termination of a Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, all Options granted to such Participant that have not theretofore vested (and which do not vest by reason of such termination of employment or service) shall terminate and be canceled without any payment therefor.

(b)     Restricted Shares and Bonus Shares shall comply with the following terms and conditions:

(i)     Vesting. Any Awards of Restricted Shares shall vest in accordance with a vesting schedule to be specified by the Committee. Except (A) with respect to grants to the Company’s non-employee directors, or (B) as vesting may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such restrictions shall not fully terminate prior to three years after the Date of Grant. Bonus Shares shall be fully vested when granted.

(ii)     Stockholder Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, a Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder as to the Restricted Shares and Bonus Shares awarded to such Participant, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and the applicable Agreement.

(iii)     Dividends and Distributions. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company received by a Participant as a result of a stock distribution to holders of Restricted Shares or as a stock dividend on Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares or Bonus Shares and all references to Restricted Shares or Bonus Shares hereunder shall be deemed to include such shares of Common Stock or other securities.

(iv)     Additional Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Share and Bonus Share granted or offered for sale hereunder shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as are prescribed by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Agreement.

(c)     Unvested Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, upon termination of a Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, all Restricted Shares granted or sold to such Participant that have not theretofore vested (and that do not vest by reason of such termination of employment) shall terminate and be canceled without any payment therefor.

10.     Stock Appreciation Rights.

Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants either alone (“freestanding”) or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted hereunder. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Nonqualified Stock Options as set forth in Section 8(a); provided, however, that Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously granted Option shall have the same terms and conditions as such Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common Stock or cash as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

11.     Stock Units.

The Committee may also grant Awards of Stock Units under the Plan. With respect to each grant of Stock Units, the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion the period or periods, including any conditions for determining such period or periods, during which any restrictions on full vesting shall apply, provided that in no event, other than in connection with a termination of employment, or with respect to grants to non-employee directors, shall such period or periods be less than three years (the “Unit Restriction Period”). The Committee may also make any Award of Stock Units subject to the satisfaction of other conditions, including the attainment of performance goals, or contingencies (“Unit Vesting Condition”), in order for a Participant to receive payment of such Stock Unit Award, which shall be established by the Committee at the Date of Grant thereof. Awards of Stock Units shall be payable in Common Stock or cash as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of payment of all or part of any Award of Stock Units pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Committee. Unless the Committee provides otherwise at the Date of Grant of an Award of Stock Units, the provisions of Section 9 of this Plan relating to the vesting of Restricted Shares shall apply during the Unit Restriction Period or prior to the satisfaction of any Unit Vesting Condition for such Award.

12.     Performance Shares.

The Committee may grant Awards of Performance Shares and designate the Participants to whom Performance Shares are to be awarded and determine the number of Performance Shares, the length of the performance period and the other terms and conditions of each such Award. Each Award of Performance Shares shall entitle the Participant to a payment in the form of shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of performance goals (which may be Qualifying Performance Criteria) and other terms and conditions specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of shares issued under an Award of Performance Shares may be adjusted on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. However, the Committee may not, in any event, increase the number of shares earned upon satisfaction of any performance goal by any Participant subject to Code Section 162(m) to the extent such Section is applicable. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may make a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock otherwise required to be issued to a Participant pursuant to an Award of Performance Shares.

13.     Other Stock-Based Awards.

In addition to the Awards described in Sections 8 through 12, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant other Awards payable in shares of Common Stock under the Plan as it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and subject to such other terms and conditions as it deems appropriate.

14.     Performance‑Based Awards.

(a)     Qualifying Performance Criteria. Awards of Options, Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Performance Shares, and other Awards made pursuant to the Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria. For purposes of the Plan, such business criteria shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination: (a) cash flow; (b) earnings (including, without limitation, gross margin, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and net earnings); (c) earnings per share; (d) growth in earnings or earnings per share; (e) stock price; (f) return on equity or average stockholders’ equity; (g) total stockholder return; (h) return on capital; (i) return on assets or net assets; (j) return on investment; (k) sales, growth in sales or return on sales; (l) income or net income; (m) operating income or net operating income; (n) operating profit or net operating profit; (o) operating margin; (p) return on operating revenue; (q) economic profit, (r) market share; (s) overhead or other expense reduction; (t) growth in stockholder value relative to various stock indices, (u) strategic plan development and implementation, (v) net debt, (w) working capital (including components thereof), and (x) during the “reliance period” (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.162-27(f)(2)), any other similar objective financial performance metric selected by the Committee in its sole discretion (collectively, the “Qualifying Performance Criteria”). To the extent required by or consistent with Code Section 162(m), the Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occur during a performance period: (z) asset write-downs or write-ups, (aa) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (bb) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (cc) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs, and (dd) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items as described in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 225 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Annual Report to stockholders for the applicable year.

(b)     Any Qualifying Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or with respect to any business unit, subsidiary or business segment of the Company, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and may be measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre‑established target, to previous period results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee in the Award. To the extent required by Code Section 162(m), prior to the payment of any compensation under an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), the Committee shall certify the extent to which any such Qualifying Performance Criteria and any other material terms under such Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such relate solely to the increase in the value of the Common Stock). To the extent Code Section 162(m) is applicable, the Committee may not in any event increase the amount of compensation payable to a Participant subject to Code Section 162(m) upon the satisfaction of any Qualifying Performance Criteria.

(c)     To the extent an Award is intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), any language in the Award Agreement, Committee resolutions, or other agreements and actions in connection with the Award, to the extent inconsistent with Section 162(m) shall be deemed interpreted and modified to the minimum extent necessary so that such Awards are compliant with Code Section 162(m).

15.     Certain Forfeitures.

In the event (A) the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or (B) a Participant or former Participant engages in a Competing Business or in Wrongful Solicitation while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, or during the period of 13 months immediately following termination of such employment, the following rules shall apply:

(a)     all Awards then held by the Participant (whether vested or not) shall be forthwith forfeited without payment or other compensation of any kind; provided, however, that the Company shall remit to the Participant the lesser of (i) the amount (if any) such Participant paid for forfeited Awards and (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares, the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Shares as of the date of termination;

(b)     notwithstanding subclause (a), in the event Vested Restricted Shares or vested Performance Shares were disposed of (for or without receipt of value) during the period commencing one year prior to the initial engagement in a Competing Business or in Wrongful Solicitation through the 13-month anniversary of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, then, upon written demand by the Company, the Participant or former Participant, as the case may be, shall forthwith remit to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Vested Restricted Shares or vested Performance Shares, as determined on the date of disposition, less the amount (if any) paid by the Participant for such shares; and

(c)     in the event Option Shares, Shares obtained pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right or other Shares obtained pursuant to Awards under the Plan (and not described in subparagraph (b)) were disposed of (for or without receipt of value) during the period commencing one year prior to the initial engagement in a Competing Business or in Wrongful Solicitation through the 13-month anniversary of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, then, upon written demand by the Company, the Participant or former Participant, as the case may be, shall forthwith remit to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Shares, as determined on the date of disposition, less the Option Price or other amount (if any) paid therefor.

16.     Effect of Certain Corporate Changes and Changes in Control.

(a)     Dilution and Other Adjustments. If the Outstanding shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, or reorganization, the Committee may, and if such event occurs after a Change in Control, the Committee shall, appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities that are subject to the Plan or subject to any Awards theretofore granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares of Common Stock or other securities without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price.

(b)     Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control,

(i)     any outstanding Award shall, upon the occurrence of such Change in Control, be assumed and continued or an equivalent award substituted by the Company’s successor or a parent or subsidiary of such successor; provided, however that if a Participant, within two years after a Change in Control, terminates employment for Good Reason, or is terminated by the Company without Cause, Awards not previously vested shall immediately become vested, and

(ii)     provided, however, in the event that, upon the occurrence of such Change in Control, such outstanding Awards are not assumed and continued or an equivalent award is not substituted by the Company's successor or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, then

A.     such Awards not previously vested shall immediately become vested; and

B.     any vested and outstanding Award shall, upon the occurrence of such Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash, stock or other consideration paid to shareholders with respect to such Change in Control, in an amount based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, less any Option Price, which amount may be zero if applicable, as the case may be.

17.     Miscellaneous.

(a)     No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment or Engagement. No Participant shall have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder shall be deemed to create or confer on any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or other retention of such Participant at any time.

(b)     Right of Company to Assign Rights and Delegate Duties. The Company shall have the right to assign any of its rights and delegate any of its duties hereunder to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of any Award under the Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the personal representatives, heirs, legatees, and permitted successors and assigns of the relevant Participant and the Company.

(c)     Tax Withholding. The Company and its Subsidiaries may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required by applicable federal, state, local or other law to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting, or exercise of an Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied in full. The Committee may in its sole discretion permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of such Participant’s tax withholding obligations by (1) paying cash to the Company, (2) having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the Participant (or become vested in the case of Restricted Shares), having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax withholding obligations, (3) surrendering a number of shares of Common Stock the Participant already owns, having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax withholding obligations, or (4) entering into such other arrangement as is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. The value of any shares withheld or surrendered may not exceed the employer’s minimum tax withholding obligation and, to the extent such shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company as compensation, the shares must have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall also have the right to deduct from any and all cash payments otherwise owed to a Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(d)     No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. The Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(e)     1934 Act. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, if the consummation of any transaction under the Plan would result in the possible imposition of liability on a Participant pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated, to defer such transaction to the extent necessary to avoid such liability.

(f)     Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the judgment of the Committee, such issuance, delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act or the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction) and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(g)     Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the Committee’s determination, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(h)     Vesting.

(i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, a minimum period over which full-value, performance-based awards and full-value, tenure-based awards granted under the Plan may entirely vest shall be set forth in each Agreement, respectively; provided, however, that up to 10% of the shares authorized under the Plan shall not be subject to such restrictions; and, provided, further, that such restrictions shall not affect or otherwise limit any acceleration of vesting pursuant to the Plan or set forth in the applicable Agreement.

(ii)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, but subject to Section 15, unless otherwise provided in an applicable Agreement, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of Retirement, Permanent Disability or death, such Participant’s then unvested awards shall automatically become vested, and in the case of Options or SARs, exercisable.

18.     Amendment.

The Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. No termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Awards shall previously have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such Participant in such Awards. In addition, no amendment of the Plan shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company:

(a)     change the class of individuals eligible for awards under the Plan;

(b)     increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;

(c)     reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a) hereof;

(d)     reduce the Option Price of outstanding Options;

(e)     cancel an Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash when the exercise or grant price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock or take any action with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded; or

(f)     extend the term of this Plan.

19.     Termination of the Plan.

The Plan shall continue until terminated by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 18 or as otherwise set forth in this Plan, and no further Awards shall be made hereunder after the date of such termination. Unless earlier terminated, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years after the Effective Date (provided the awards granted before that date shall continue in accordance with their terms).

20.     Conditions to Issuance of Shares.

(a)     The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the 1933 Act, or to register or qualify under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, any shares of Common Stock, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made. The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as the Committee deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal, state, and foreign securities laws. The Company may also require such other action or agreement by the Participants as may from time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws.

(b)     To the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

21.     Headings; Number; Gender.

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.

Words used herein in the singular form shall be construed as being used in the plural form, as appropriate in the relevant context, and vice versa. Pronouns used herein of one gender shall be construed as referring to either or both genders, as appropriate in the relevant context.

22.     Limited Waiver.

The waiver by the Company of any of its rights under the Plan with respect to any Participant, whether express or implied, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other rights the Company has with respect to such Participant or of any of its rights with respect to any other Participant.

23.     Governing Law.

The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to rules relating to conflicts of law.

24.     Compliance with Code Section 409A.

(a)     This Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Code Section 409A and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or the payment, settlement, or deferral thereof is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled, or deferred in a manner that will comply with Code Section 409A, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. Any provision of this Plan that would cause the grant of an Award or the payment, settlement, or deferral thereof to fail to satisfy Code Section 409A shall be amended to comply with Code Section 409A on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other guidance issued under Code Section 409A.

(b)     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the receipt of any benefits under this Plan, subject to Code Section 409A as a result of a termination of employment, shall be subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Participant undergo a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h) or any successor thereto. In addition, if a Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provisions of any benefit that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six month period measured from the date of the Participant's “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)), or (ii) the date of the Participant's death (the “Delay Period”). Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Plan shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

25.     Effective Date.

The Plan shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) upon approval by the stockholders of the Company.
