Subject to satisfaction of any tax withholding
 
obligation as described below,
 
shares of Restricted Stock that are no
 
longer
subject to forfeiture will be deposited to Grantee’s stock plan
 
account with the Plan’s third-party
 
administrator, as soon as
practicable after the date
 
on which they irrevocably
 
vest.
 
Upon the vesting of
 
shares of Restricted Stock,
 
the prohibition
against the sale
 
or transfer of
 
such shares will
 
be lifted and
 
such shares may
 
be treated as
 
any other shares
 
of Common
Stock of the
 
Company owned by
 
Grantee,
 
subject to the
 
Company’s stock
 
ownership guidelines and
 
any restrictions on
transfer that may be applicable
 
under Federal securities laws or
 
the Company’s
 
Insider Trading Policy.
 
Delivery of such
shares of Restricted Stock to Grantee or to Grantee’s beneficiary upon vesting will be subject to withholding by the Plan’s
third-party administrator
 
of amounts sufficient
 
to cover the
 
applicable withholding
 
obligations,
 
unless Grantee elects
 
to
make a payment to the Company or to the Plan’s
 
third-party administrator.
 
In the event that any required tax withholding
upon the settlement of such
 
Awards
 
exceeds Grantee’s other compensation due from the
 
Company, Grantee agrees
 
to remit
to the Company,
 
as a condition
 
to the settlement
 
of such
 
Awards,
 
such additional
 
amounts in
 
cash as are
 
necessary to
satisfy such required withholding.
 
Any and all withholding obligations
 
may be settled with shares of Common Stock.
 
 
7.
 
Nothing in the Plan or
 
this Agreement will be construed
 
as creating any right in
 
the Grantee to continued
 
employment or
service,
 
or as altering or amending the existing
 
terms and conditions of the Grantee’s
 
employment or service.
 
8.
 
All notices required to
 
be given hereunder shall be
 
mailed by registered or
 
certified mail to the Company
 
to the attention
of its Secretary,
 
at 901 E.
 
Hector Street, Conshohocken,
 
Pennsylvania 19428,
 
and to Grantee
 
at Grantee’s
 
address as it
appears on the Company’s books and records unless either of said parties has duly notified
 
the other
 
in writing of a change
in address.
 
9.
 
To the extent not preempted
 
by Federal law, this Agreement
 
shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the Commonwealth
 
of Pennsylvania, without giving effect
 
to its conflict of laws principles.

This Agreement contains all the understandings
 
between the parties hereto pertaining to the matter
 
referred to herein, and

undertakings and
 
agreements, whether
 
oral or
 
in writing,
 
previously entered
 
into by
 
them with
 
respect
