In no event shall any payment be made to Participant for fees and expenses incurred after the close of the Participant’s second taxable year following the taxable year in which the Date of Termination occurs

For a period of three (3) years (one year if not in connection with a Change in Control) following an Officer’s Date of Termination and for a period of one (1) year (six months if not in connection with a Change in Control) following the Date of Termination in the case of a Participant who is not an Officer, the Company shall cause the Participant’s employer to maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of each Participant entitled to receive, or who received, payments pursuant to Section 5 of this Plan, comprehensive medical and dental insurance, group life insurance (but not including disability coverage) on the same basis as such Participant participated immediately prior to the Date of Termination, unless the Participant’s continued participation is not permitted under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs or applicable law.

9. Successors. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, by a written agreement, to expressly assume and agree to carry out the provisions of this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to carry them out if no such succession had occurred.

10. Notice. Any notice expressly provided for under this Plan shall be in writing, shall be given either manually or by mail, telegram, telex, telefax or cable, and shall be deemed sufficiently given, if and when received by the Company at its offices at 645 West Hamilton Street, Suite 500, Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101, Attention: General Counsel, or by any Participant at the address on the records of the Company for such Participant, or if and when mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company or the Participant to be notified at such address. Either the Company or any Participant may, by notice to the other, change its address for receiving notices.

11. Funding. All payments provided for under this Plan for Participants (including those who have retired) shall not be funded or secured, and no trust shall be created hereunder. Payments under this Plan shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable upon the termination of a Participant’s Services except for termination where a Participant not be entitled to income continuation payments as provided in Section 4 or as otherwise provided in any waiver, and non-disparagement agreement entered into pursuant to Section 4 of this Plan.

12. Amendment and Termination.

(a) The Board may at any time or from time to time amend or terminate this Plan. No such amendment or termination may adversely affect any vested benefits hereunder; and, provided further, that after a Change in Control, this Plan may not be amended or terminated without the consent of all persons who were Participants as of the date of such Change in Control (including those who have retired).

(b) In addition, no amendment or termination made within one (1) year before a Change in Control and made while a Prospective Change in Control is pending may adversely affect any benefit that might at any time be or become owing hereunder to a person who, immediately prior to the commencement of such Prospective Change in Control, was a Participant, without the consent of such person (other than a benefit to any such person who is the person, or part of the group, making the offer, or negotiating to make the offer, which constitutes the Prospective Change in Control). As used herein, the term “Prospective Change in Control” means (i) any offer presented, directly or indirectly, to the Board which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control, or (ii) any negotiation with the Board or any committee or representative thereof to make such an offer (including the unilateral announcement of the terms on which such an offer would be made).

13. Claim and Appeal Procedure. This Section 13 of this Plan shall not apply after there has been a Change in Control.

The Company shall appoint a person or persons to adjudicate claims and appeals under this Plan (the “Administrator”). The Administrator shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Participant or to any beneficiary (the “Claimant”) whose claim for benefits under this Plan has been denied. The Administrator’s notice to the Claimant shall set forth:

(a) The specific reason for the denial;

(b) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the Administrator based its denial;

(c) A description of any additional material and information that is needed;

(d) That any appeal the Claimant wishes to make of the adverse determination must be in writing to the Administrator within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Administrator’s notice of denial of benefits. The Administrator’s notice must further advise the Claimant that the Claimant’s failure to appeal the action to the Administrator in writing within the seventy-five (75) day period will render the Administrator’s determination final, binding and conclusive; and

(e) The name and address to whom the Claimant may forward an appeal.

If the Claimant should appeal to the Administrator, the Claimant, or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever issues and comments the Claimant or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative feels are pertinent. The Claimant, or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative, may review pertinent Plan documents. The Administrator shall re-examine all facts to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The Administrator shall advise the Claimant of its decision within sixty (60) days of the Claimant’s written request for review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make the rendering of a decision within the sixty (60) day limit unfeasible, but in no event shall the Administrator render a decision respecting a denial for a claim of benefits later than one hundred twenty (120) days after its receipt of a request for review. The Administrator’s notice to the Claimant shall set forth:

(i) The specific reason for the denial;

(ii) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the Administrator based its denial;

(iii) A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim; and

(iv) A statement that the Claimant has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

14. Governing Law. This Plan, and the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participants hereunder, shall be construed and governed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

15. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Plan is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, which shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

16. Certain Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if Participant is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for under this Plan, together with any other payments and benefits which Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for under this Plan shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Participant from the Company and its affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Participant’s “base amount” (as defined in section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Participant shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code, or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to Participant (taking into account any applicable excise tax under section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided, and through error or otherwise, that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Participant’s base amount, then Participant shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 16 shall require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Participant’s excise tax liabilities under section 4999 of the Code.
