RECITALS

The Sixth Amended and Restated 1999 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the award of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the Plan) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to award Restricted Stock Units to the Participant as an inducement for the Participant to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. All terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. Copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are being provided to the Participant with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants the Participant              Restricted Stock Units.

2. Stock Unit Account. Restricted Stock Units represent hypothetical Shares and not actual Shares. The Company shall establish and maintain a Stock Unit Account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Participant and shall record in such Stock Unit Account (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant and (ii) either (A)the number of Shares payable to the Participant on account of Restricted Stock Units that have vested or (B) subject to Section 5(a)(ii) below, the amount of cash payable to the Participant on account of Restricted Stock Units that have vested. No Shares shall be issued to the Participant at the time the grant is made, and the Participant shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Units recorded in the Stock Unit Account. The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award or the Stock Unit Account established for the Participant.

3. Vesting and Non-transferability.

(a) Except as provided in subsections 3(b) and (c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to forfeiture until the Restricted Stock Units vest. Except as provided in subsections 3(b) and (c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the following schedule, if the Participant continues to be employed by the Company from the Date of Grant until the applicable vesting date:

The vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Restricted Stock Units. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Stock Units, the number of Restricted Stock Units that vests shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Unit.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event that (i) the Participant is at the Date of Grant or becomes Retirement Eligible or (ii) the Participant’s employment is terminated on account of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date on which the Participant becomes Retirement Eligible (or on the Date of Grant if the Participant is already Retirement Eligible) or the date of the Participant’s death or Disability.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of the Change of Control.

4. Termination of Restricted Stock Units. If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than as described in subsection 3(b) above before the Restricted Stock Units vest, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested Restricted Stock Units that terminate as described in this Section 4.

5. Timing and Manner of Payment of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) When the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 3 above, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, in the event of the Participant’s death) shall receive (i) that number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vested or (ii) at the Participant’s request and upon the approval of the Committee, a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Value of a Share on the date on which the Restricted Stock Units vest times (y) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units subject, in either case, to withholding as described below. Except as provided in subsections 5(c), (d), (e) and (f ) below, payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date on which such Restricted Stock Units vest.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the Restricted Stock Units accelerate when the Participant is at the Date of Grant or becomes Retirement Eligible as described in subsection 3(b)(i) above, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsections 5(c), (d), (e) and (f) below, within thirty (30) days after the date the Restricted Stock Units would otherwise have vested under subsection 3(a) above. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the

2

product of (x) the Value of a Share on the otherwise applicable vesting date set forth in subsection 3(a) above times (y) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the Restricted Stock Units accelerate on account of the Participant’s death or Disability as described in subsection 3(b)(ii) above, the Participant or the Participant’s estate shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsections 5(d), (e) and (f) below, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Participant’s death or Disability. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (i) the Value of a Share on the date of the Participant’s death or Disability times (ii) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, in the event the Restricted Stock Units accelerate upon a Change of Control as described in subsection 3(c) above, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsection 5(f) below, within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control; provided, however, that Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within thirty (30) days after such Change of Control (except as provided in subsection 5(f) below) only if the transaction constituting a Change of Control under this Agreement is also a “change in control event” for purposes of section 409A of the Code (“409A Change in Control Event”). Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (i) the Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control, times (ii) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units. If, however, the transaction constituting a Change of Control does not constitute a 409A Change in Control Event, the Participant shall receive payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in subsection 5(f) below, within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (x) the date the Restricted Stock Units would otherwise have vested under subsection 3(a) or (y) the date of the Participant’s termination of employment following the Change of Control. Any lump sum cash payment made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) above shall be equal to the product of (A) the Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control, times (B) the number of such vested Restricted Stock Units.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, if on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code) as determined by the Board (or its delegate) in its sole discretion in accordance with its “specified employee” determination policy, then all payments payable to the Participant under this Agreement that are deemed as deferred compensation subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code shall be postponed for a period of six (6) months following the Participant’s “separation from service” with the Company (or any successor thereto) (the “postponed amounts”). The postponed amounts shall be credited with interest as described in subsection 7(b) below and paid to the Participant in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s “separation from service” with the Company (or any successor thereto). If the Participant dies during the postponement period, the postponed amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within sixty (60) days after Participant’s death.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Plan, if, at the time the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units vest as described in Section 3 above, the amount of (i) any Restricted Stock Units that is otherwise payable hereunder plus (ii) any other compensation to the Participant that is taken into account for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code for the year (“Other Compensation”) exceeds or is expected to exceed the $1,000,000 limit on deductible compensation under section 162(m) of the Code (the “Limit”), then payment of any Restricted Stock Units to the extent (or all of the Restricted Stock Units if Other Compensation is already or is expected to be over the Limit) that it plus all Other Compensation is in excess of the Limit shall automatically be deferred until the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code, subject to the six-month delay described in subsection 5(d) above.

6. Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the Restricted Stock Units vest and are paid or are forfeited, if any cash dividends are paid with respect to the Shares, the Company shall pay the Participant, in cash, the amount of the dividend that would have been distributed if the Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Stock Unit Account at the time of the dividend payment were Shares. The dividend equivalent payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the cash dividend is paid with respect to the Shares.

7. Earnings. If vested Restricted Stock Units are not paid within 30 days after the date such Restricted Stock Units vest, the Company shall credit the cash value, if any, recorded in the Participant’s Stock Unit Account with earnings through the date the Restricted Stock Units are paid as if such cash balance of the Participant’s Stock Unit Account had been invested at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the applicable vesting date of the Restricted Stock Unit.

8. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant is subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company, (d) compliance with section 409A of the Code and (e) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to questions arising hereunder.

9. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained by or in the employ of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

10. Withholding Tax. All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any federal,

4

state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.

11. No Shareholder Rights. Neither the Participant, nor any person entitled to receive payment in the event of the Participant’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to Shares.

12. Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Participant under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock Units or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Restricted Stock Units by notice to the Participant, and the Restricted Stock Units and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries and affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent.

13. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

14. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of General Counsel at Three Radnor Corporate Center, Suite 300, 100 Matsonford Road, Radnor, PA 19087 and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address known by the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate to the Company in writing. Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

15. Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under section 409A of the Code. If any payment cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under section 409A of the Code, then such payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment, and if a payment is not made by the designated payment date under the Agreement, the payment shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the designated date occurs. In no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.
