Terms and Conditions

1. Grant: The Corporation shall issue in the Grantee’s name, for no cash consideration, a stock certificate for the number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Corporation set forth in this Restricted Stock Grant. The certificate shall be held in custody by the Corporation and Grantee agrees that a restrictive legend may be placed on the Shares. If and when the restrictions applicable to all or any portion of the Shares are terminated (the Shares are “vested”), a certificate, free of all restrictions, shall be issued in the Grantee’s name (or, in the event of the Grantee’s death prior to such termination or such issuance, to the Grantee’s estate) for the number of vested Shares. The Grantee shall not be entitled to delivery of a certificate for any portion of the Shares until such portion of Shares have vested. During the period prior to vesting or forfeiture of all or any portion of the Shares, the Grantee shall be entitled to vote the Shares and shall receive dividends paid on the Shares.

2. Stock Power Requirement: The Grantee shall endorse in blank and return to the Corporation a stock power for the Restricted Stock certificate.

3. Period of Restriction: The restriction period with regard to the Shares shall commence on the date the Shares are granted. The Grantee shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any portion of the Shares, and any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber any portion of the Shares prior to termination of restrictions shall have no effect.

4. Change of Control: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, and in lieu of application of Section 9 of the Plan, in the case of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 4(F)(1) of the Administrative Regulations) of the Corporation, all restrictions shall automatically terminate.

5. Termination of Employment: Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, unvested Shares are forfeited if termination of employment is due to Termination without Consent or Termination for Cause. Any and all forfeitures of Shares shall be evidenced by written notice to the Grantee. Upon the forfeiture of any Shares, such forfeited Shares shall be transferred to the Corporation without further action by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a party to an individual Change in Control Agreement (a “CIC Agreement”) with the Corporation providing for benefits upon a termination for other than “Cause” or “Disability” or a termination for “Good Reason”, then the unvested Shares shall not be forfeited if (i) the Grantee’s employment is terminated during a Potential Change in Control Period either by the employing company identified above or the Corporation, its subsidiaries or affiliates (each an “Employing Company”) for other than “Cause” or “Disability” or by the Grantee for “Good Reason”, as such terms are defined in the CIC Agreement and (ii) a 409A Change in Control, as defined in the CIC Agreement, occurs within twenty-four months following the commencement of the Potential Change in Control Period. In such event, all restrictions shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of the 409A Change in Control.

6. Vesting: The Grantee must continue as an active employee of an Employing Company for the three-year period following the date of the Grant (the “Vesting Period”), subject to the Employing Company’s right to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, performing such duties consistent with his capabilities. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Regulations to the contrary, the Shares shall vest on the three-year anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee is employed by an Employing Company on such anniversary. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if termination of employment during the Vesting Period occurs by reason of Retirement, death, Disability or Termination with Consent all unvested Shares will vest on the date of such termination.

Except as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any other terms or conditions of the Plan, the Administrative Regulations or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the Grantee’s termination of employment, the Grantee’s right to vest in the Shares, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Grantee is no longer actively employed by an Employing Company and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Grantee’s right to receive a certificate for the Shares, free of all restrictions, after such termination, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Grantee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Restricted Stock Grant.

7. Adjustment: The number of Shares awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 of the Plan. The Grantee shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Grantee.

8. Interpretation and Amendments: This Grant and the issuance, vesting and delivery of Shares are subject to, and shall be administered in accordance with, the provisions of the Plan and the Administrative Regulations, as the same may be amended by the Committee from time to time, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, affect the rights of the Grantee under this Grant in a materially adverse manner. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an amendment that affects the tax treatment of the Restricted Stock Grant shall not be considered as affecting the Grantee’s rights in a materially adverse manner. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan or the Administrative Regulations. In the event of a conflict between the Plan and the Administrative Regulations, unless this Grant specifies otherwise, the Plan shall control.

9. Compliance with Laws: The obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Grantee are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended; the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and any other applicable laws. The Corporation shall have no obligation to deliver a certificate for the Shares, free of all restrictions, unless and until the Grantee has satisfied any applicable tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 11 below and such issuance otherwise complies with all applicable U.S. and foreign laws.

10. Acceptance of Grant: The Grant shall not be effective unless it is accepted by the Grantee and notice of such acceptance is received by the Stock Plan Officer.

11. Withholding Taxes: Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employing Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility. Furthermore, the Grantee acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employing Company (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Grant, including the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock, the receipt of dividends or the subsequent sale of Shares; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Grant or any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employing Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Corporation and/or the Employing Company. In this regard, the Grantee shall pay any Tax-Related Items directly to the Corporation or the Employing Company in cash upon request and, if permitted by the Corporation, the Grantee may pay the Tax-Related Items by delivering to the Corporation shares of its common stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the amount of the obligation for Tax-Related Items to be so satisfied. In addition, the Grantee authorizes the Corporation and/or the Employing Company, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all applicable Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following methods: (1) withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Corporation and/or the Employing Company; (2) selling or arranging for the sale of a sufficient number of unrestricted Shares to be delivered to the Grantee upon vesting under Section 6 above, on the Grantee’s behalf and at the Grantee’s direction pursuant to this authorization, through such means as the Corporation may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld; or (3) withholding Shares from the Restricted Stock held in custody by the Corporation with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the aggregate minimum statutory or other applicable minimum obligation for Tax-Related Items. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Corporation or the Employing Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employing Company may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s participation in the Plan or Grantee’s acquisition of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Grantee understands that no Shares shall be delivered to Grantee, notwithstanding the lapse of the restrictions thereon, unless and until the Grantee shall have satisfied any obligation for Tax-Related Items with respect thereto as provided herein.

12. Nature of the Grant: Nothing herein shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of an Employing Company or affect any right which the Employing Company may have to terminate the employment of such Grantee. Further, by accepting this Restricted Stock Grant, the Grantee acknowledges that:

a. the grant of the Restricted Stock is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Restricted Stock Grants, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Grants, even if Restricted Stock Grants have been made repeatedly in the past;

b. all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;

c. the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

d. the Restricted Stock Grant is an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Corporation or to the Employing Company, and which is outside the scope of the Grantee’s employment contract, if any;

e. the Restricted Stock Grant is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

f. in the event that the Employing Company is not the Corporation, the Restricted Stock Grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation; and furthermore, the Restricted Stock Grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employing Company;

g. the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

h. in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Restricted Stock Grant or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Corporation or the Employing Company (for any reason whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws) and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Corporation and the Employing Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by accepting this Restricted Stock Grant, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such a claim;

i. it is the Grantee’s sole responsibility to investigate and comply with any applicable exchange control laws in connection with the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Grant;

j. the Corporation and the Employing Company are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor are the Corporation or the Employing Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Grant; and

k. the Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

13. Data Privacy: The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Employing Company and the Corporation for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that the Employing Company and the Corporation hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Restricted Stock Grants or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor, as the Employing Company and/or the Corporation deems necessary for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Grantee acknowledges and understands that Data may be transferred to any broker as designated by the Corporation and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere (and outside the European Economic Area), and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Grantee’s local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Grantee may elect to deposit any unrestricted Shares he or she receives upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Grant. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Grantee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to realize benefits from the Restricted Stock Grant or otherwise participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

14. Electronic Delivery: The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan, or Shares issued under the Plan, or participation in the Plan or future Restricted Stock Grants that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or another third party designated by the Corporation.

15. Severability: In the event that any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

16. Language: If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

17. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the conflicts of laws thereof.

18. Headings: Headings of paragraphs and sections used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement, and must not be used in construing it.

Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Grantee’s situation.
