(a)Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on the signature page of this Agreement. The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company, or a third party on behalf of the Company, for Participant’s benefit, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, each of which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one Share.

(b)If the Company declares, with a record date after the Date of Grant and prior to settlement pursuant to Section 3(d), and pays a dividend or a distribution on Common Stock in the form of cash, then a number of additional Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the result of dividing (i) the product of the total number of Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution (other than previously settled or forfeited Restricted Stock Units) times the per Share amount of such dividend or distribution, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the record date for such dividend or distribution. Any Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant under this subsection shall be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Restricted Stock Units.

(c)If the Company declares, with a record date after the Date of Grant and prior to settlement pursuant to Section 3(d), and pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock in the form of additional Shares, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then a number of additional Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split equal to (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split (other than previously settled or forfeited Restricted Stock Units), multiplied by (ii) the number of additional Shares actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued in such split in respect of each outstanding Share. Any Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant under this subsection shall be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Restricted Stock Unit.

(a)Vesting. All of the Restricted Stock Units shall initially be unvested. One-third (1/3) of the Restricted Stock Units (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant and on each of the next two (2) successive anniversaries thereof (each such anniversary, a “Vesting Date”) (with vesting on the last Vesting Date being the balance of the Restricted Stock Units) unless previously vested or forfeited in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement (the “Normal Vesting Schedule”).

(ii)If Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability or in the event of a Change in Control where the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, Restricted Stock Units not previously vested shall immediately become vested. With respect to any of the Restricted Stock Units that constitute “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A, for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii) and any acceleration of the Restricted Stock Units upon a Change in Control, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur only if, in addition to the requirements set forth in the

(iv)In the event of Participant’s Retirement, the Compensation Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether and the manner in which Restricted Stock Units not previously vested (or any portion thereof) shall be vested and be settled pursuant to Section 3(d). In the absence of Compensation Committee action, upon such Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall vest pro-rata as of the date of Participant’s Retirement. All such Restricted Stock Units which shall have not vested as a result of such Retirement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited without consideration of any kind and to the extent that the date Participant first becomes eligible for Retirement and the vesting date under this Section 3(a)(iv) are in different tax years, any amount payable under this subsection shall constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A unless an exemption under the treasury regulations is available.

The number of unvested Restricted Stock Units that shall vest pro-rata upon Retirement (absent action to the contrary by the Compensation Committee) described in the penultimate sentence of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3(a)(iv) shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of completed months that Participant was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries since the most recent Vesting Date or if no Vesting Date has yet occurred the number of months since the Date of Grant, by 36, by (B) the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement.

(b)Restrictions on Transfer. Until the earlier of the applicable vesting date under the Normal Vesting Schedule, the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), or the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), or as otherwise provided in the Plan, no transfer of the Restricted Stock Units or any of Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer any Restricted Stock Units or any rights in respect of the Restricted Stock Units before the earlier of the applicable vesting date under the Normal Vesting Schedule, the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), or the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), such unit, and all of the rights related to such unit, shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by Participant without consideration of any kind.

termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), or, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, the date of a termination of employment due to Retirement described in Section 3(a)(iv), by delivery of one Share for each Restricted Stock Unit being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share.

(a)Access and Use. Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and exercise of Participant’s duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, Participant will have access to and will use certain Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, and that such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets constitute confidential and proprietary business information and/or Trade Secrets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, all of which is the Company’s exclusive property. Accordingly, Participant agrees that Participant shall not, and shall not permit any other person or entity to, directly or Indirectly, through any person, firm, or corporation, alone or as a member of a partnership or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, or employee of or consultant to any other corporation or enterprise to, without the prior written consent of the Company: (a) use Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company or its Subsidiaries; (b) remove, copy, duplicate or otherwise reproduce any document or tangible item embodying or pertaining to any of the Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, except as required to perform responsibilities for the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (c) while employed and thereafter, publish, release, disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets by any communication, including oral, documentary, electronic or magnetic information transmittal device or media.

(b)Duration of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. This obligation of non-disclosure and non-use shall last so long as the information remains confidential, and at no time during Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, nor at any time thereafter, shall Participant directly or Indirectly, through any person, firm, or corporation, alone or as a member of a partnership or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, or employee of or consultant to any other corporation or enterprise to, disclose, reveal, or use for the benefit of Participant or others, or aid others in obtaining, any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary performance of Participant’s duties on behalf of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and as expressly authorized by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Participant, however, understands that, if Participant primarily lives and works in any state requiring a temporal limit on non-disclosure clauses, Confidential Information shall be protected for no less than two (2) years following the Last Day. Participant also understands that Trade Secrets are protected by statute and are not subject to any time limits. Participant also agrees to contact the Company before using, disclosing, or distributing any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets if Participant has any questions about whether such information is protected information.

(d)Additional Legal Exceptions to Non-Disclosure Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of information generally obtained through the job, information available to the public, and/or information you have a right to disclose or as may be required by applicable law or regulation, especially with respect to a Federal or State administrative agency, equivalent State agency, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order. With respect to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Participant will promptly provide written notice to the General Counsel of the Company of any such order. If the Company chooses to seek a protective order or other remedy, Employee will cooperate fully with the Company. If the Company does not obtain a protective order or other remedy or waives compliance with certain provisions of this Agreement, Participant will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will use Participant’s best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed Confidential Information. In addition, nothing in this Agreement in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede, and shall not be interpreted or understood as restricting or impeding, Participant from: (a) exercising Participant’s rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) (including with respect to engaging in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, discussing terms and conditions of employment, or otherwise engaging in protected conduct); (b) otherwise disclosing or discussing truthful information about unlawful employment practices (including unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or sexual assault).

(e)Return of Property. Participant agrees that upon the Last Day (or earlier if requested by the Company) to immediately return to the Company all property and information belonging to the Company or its Subsidiaries (in electronic or hard-copy form), and Participant shall not make or retain any copies of any documents (including in electronic form) or any items that are the property of the Company or its Subsidiaries or that contain Confidential Information. Participant shall also disclose to Company any passwords for Participant’s computer or other access codes for anything associated with Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, and shall not delete or modify any property prior to its return to the Company. Participant also shall provide the Company with access to any personal computer, tablet, phone, external hard drives, flash drives, cloud-based storage platforms, or any other personal device or storage location with Company information, whether or not such information is designated as confidential or proprietary and whether or not such devices were supplied by the Company or owned by Participant, so that the Company may remove or delete any information of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

(a)Participant acknowledges and agrees that all records (in whatever media), written works, documents, papers, notebooks, drawings, designs, technical information, source code, object code, algorithms, processes, methods, ideas, formulas, inventions (whether patentable or not), invention disclosures, discoveries, improvements, other copyrightable or protected works, or any other intellectual property, developed, conceived, acquired, created, authored, or reduced to practice, from which derivative works are prepared, made, invented, or discovered by Participant (whether or not during usual working hours, and whether individually or jointly with others) that relate to, result from or are suggested by any work or task performed by Participant for or on behalf of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or otherwise pertain to any Competitive Product or Service, or that arise from the use or assistance of the facilities, materials, personnel, or

Confidential Information of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or that otherwise relate to the actual or anticipated research, development or business of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, will be and remain the absolute property of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as will all the worldwide patent, copyright, trademark, service mark and trade secret rights, any associated registrations, applications, renewals, extensions, continuations, continuations-in-part, requests for continued examination, divisions, or reissues thereof or any foreign equivalents thereof, and all other intellectual property rights relating to the foregoing (all items referred to in this sentence are collectively referred to as the “Intellectual Property”). Participant irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights, wherever in the world enforceable, that vest in Participant (whether before, on, or after the date of this Agreement) in connection with any such Intellectual Property in the course of Participants employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. Participant recognizes all such Intellectual Property constitutes “works made for hire” for which the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries retains all rights, title, and interest to any underlying rights, including copyright protections. If for any reason any such Intellectual Property is not deemed to be a “work made for hire,” consistent with the undertakings below, Participant hereby assigns all rights, title and interest in any such Intellectual Property to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b)Participant will promptly disclose, and hereby grants and assigns, all rights, title, and interest in all Intellectual Property pertaining to any Competitive Product or Service to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for its or their sole use and benefit. At all times, both during and after Participant’s employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Participant agrees to assist the Company and/or its Subsidiaries in taking the proper steps, including executing any required documents, to obtain patents, copyrights or other legal protection for the Intellectual Property and to assign such Intellectual Property and the rights to any applications associated therewith to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, if the Company or one of its Subsidiaries so desires, but all at the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries’ direction and expense. At all times, both during and after Participant’s employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Participant agrees not to claim any rights to any Intellectual Property as having been created, conceived or acquired by Participant prior to Participant’s employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, unless such Intellectual Property is identified on a sheet attached to this Agreement and signed by Participant as of the date of this agreement.

7.Participant’s Representations and Acknowledgments. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant’s services are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character, and Participant’s position with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries places Participant in a position of trust and confidence with respect to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries’ confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets, business relationships, and other valuable assets and goodwill. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Subsidiaries have a legitimate business interest in protecting such valuable assets and goodwill from unauthorized use and disclosure and unfair competition that would cause the Company and/or its Subsidiaries immediate and irreparable harm, thereby warranting the non-competition, non-solicitation, non-interference, and confidentiality covenants contained in this Agreement.

(a)This Section 8(a) applies only to (a) all Participants who are U.S. employees, and (b) to those Participants who are employed by a Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated under applicable local law to withhold taxes with respect to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Such Participant shall pay to the Company or a designated Subsidiary, promptly upon request, and in any event at the time Participant recognizes taxable income, or withholding of employment taxes is required, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a

payment to the Company in cash (including, without limitation, future wages) or, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Compensation Committee, by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares or by having the Company withhold a number of Shares in which Participant would otherwise become vested under this Agreement, in each case, having a value equal to the maximum amount of tax permitted to be withheld that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

9.Securities Laws Requirements. The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares issued as a result of the vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (b) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with this Agreement and the Plan. All accounts in which such Shares are held or any certificates for Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares are then listed or quoted, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates (or other appropriate restrictions and/or notations to be associated with any accounts in which such Shares are held) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any Shares following the settlement of Restricted Stock Units to Participant free of a restrictive legend if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act (or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time).

11.Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request (such period not to exceed 180 days following the date of the applicable offering), Participant shall not, directly or Indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement or any Shares resulting the settlement thereof without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.

12.Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Restricted Stock Units by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any Shares resulting from the settlement of Restricted Stock Units on its books nor will any of such Shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with such provisions to the

15.Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Participant, to Participant’s attention at the mailing address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as Participant shall have specified to the Company in writing) and, if to the Company, to the Company’s office at 2366 Bernville Road, Reading, Pennsylvania 19605, Attention: Chief Legal and Compliance Officer (or to such other address as the Company shall have specified to Participant in writing). All such notices shall be conclusively deemed to be received and shall be effective, if sent by hand delivery, upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail, on the fifth day after the day on which such notice is mailed.

17.Authority of the Administrator. The Compensation Committee shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including but not limited to making all determinations regarding eligibility, vesting, forfeiture and the calculation of the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded or credited under this Agreement. The determination of the Compensation Committee as to any such matter of interpretation, construction or calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive.

18.Representations. Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., foreign, state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

19.Investment Representation. Participant hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Participant, by reason of Participant’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of Participant’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or Indirectly), has the capacity to protect Participant’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

20.Relief, Remedies and Enforcement. Participant acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Participant will cause serious and irreparable injury to the Company that will be difficult to quantify and that money damages alone shall not adequately compensate the Company. In the event of a breach or threatened or intended breach of this Agreement by Participant, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, both temporary and final, enjoining and restraining such breach or threatened or intended breach. Participant further agrees that should Participant breach this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to it.

21.Entire Agreement; Language; Governing Law.

set forth herein. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions hereof be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform to such laws or policies) of any provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder of the provisions hereof. Accordingly, if at the time of enforcement of any provision hereof, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope, or geographic area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or geographical area and that such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and geographical area permitted by law. Furthermore, if any such restriction is held to be void but would be valid if part of the wording (including in particular, but without limitation, the definitions) were deleted, such restriction will apply with so much of the wording deleted as may be necessary to make it valid or effective.

23.Amendments; Construction. The Compensation Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but (unless otherwise provided under Section 18 of the Plan) no such amendment shall impair the rights of Participant hereunder without Participant’s consent. To the extent the terms of Section 4 or 5 of this Agreement, as applicable, conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the terms of Section 4 or 5 of this Agreement, as applicable, to the extent more restrictive, shall supersede such conflicting terms and control. Headings to Sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.

Participant acknowledges Participant has been advised by the Company to consult with an attorney (at Participant’s own expense) prior to signing this Agreement.

Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement.

(a)No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment. Participant acknowledges that the award granted under this Agreement is not an employment right, and is being granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Participant shall not have any claim or right to receive grants of Restricted Stock Units or other awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to create or confer on Participant any right to be retained as an employee 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 Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of Participant at any time.

(b)Unfunded Plan. No Participant and no beneficiary or other persons claiming under or through Participant, shall have any right, title, or interest by reason of any award under the Agreement to any particular assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate, or any Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purposes of this Agreement or subject to any Restricted Stock Unit as set forth herein.

(d)Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign any of its rights, and by accepting these Restricted Stock Units, Participant hereby consents to an assignment. The Company shall have the right to delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Company (including any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company).

(C)shall be subject to policies and agreements adopted by the Company from time to time, including, but not limited to, the terms of any clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors (as such policy may be amended from time-to-time) (collectively, the “Clawback Policies”), and applicable laws and regulations, requiring the repayment by Participant of incentive compensation, including, but not limited to, the Restricted Stock Units, any cash or Shares delivered upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, proceeds or value realized from the sale or transfer of Shares, and dividends or dividend equivalents, to the extent applicable, under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the terms of any Clawback Policy, without any further act or deed or consent of Participant.

(ii)Participant acknowledges that if Participant violates any of the terms or provisions of the Clawback Policies, whether before or after termination of employment, then the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, recoup such incentive compensation as provided under the Clawback Policies, which may include without limitation, (i) terminating Participant's rights in any unvested Restricted Stock Units under this Award, (ii) clawing back (i.e., recover) all Shares previously issued under this Award, (iii) cancelling or offsetting against any planned future cash or equity-based awards, and (iv) forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Each payment in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be delivered as described above and taxable upon delivery in accordance with applicable tax law, but for purposes of California Labor Code Section 221, the Colorado Wage Claim Act, and any

successor provision, will not be considered “wages” and will not be considered “earned” until the end of the second complete calendar year following delivery of the payment. For purposes of the foregoing, Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on Participant's behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Participant's Shares, and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company.

(i)LIMIT ON ACTUAL DAMAGES. In no event may the actual damages awarded to Participant in a dispute arising out of or relating to the Operative Documents exceed the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock Units set forth on the signature page of this Agreement as of the date hereof, reduced by the value of any Shares or payments previously received under this Agreement (the "Damages Limit"). Participant knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives and releases any claim to damages in excess of this Damages Limit.

(j)LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. Except when prohibited by applicable law, the procedures and remedies set forth in this Agreement shall constitute the sole remedies available to Participant. In no event shall Participant seek equitable relief, injunctive relief, or otherwise bring claims directly or derivatively for ultra vires, corporate waste, breach of fiduciary duty, or any other claim or cause of action, whether legal or equitable, sounding in contract or tort. Nothing in this clause is intended to waive or limit any claim brought pursuant to any federal or state statute related to the protection of civil rights. Should any provision in this Agreement be found by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all appellate rights are exhausted, to be unenforceable or void, the Parties expressly agree to sever such provision.

26.Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement as a result of a termination of employment shall be subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent that 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 (6) month period measured from the date of Participant's “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)), or (ii) the date of 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 Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

29.Electronic Signature. Participant agrees that the Company may enforce this Agreement with a copy for which Participant has provided an electronic signature, and that such electronic signature may be satisfied by procedures that the Company or a third party designated by the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system, and Participant’s electronic signature shall be the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, Participant’s written signature. By electronically accepting this Agreement, Participant agrees to the following: “This electronic contract contains my electronic signature, which I have executed with the intent to sign this Agreement.”
