the amounts therein adjusted pursuant to section 415(d) of the Code.
SECTION 7

the general creditors of the Corporation or any Employer.
SECTION 8
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
8.1 Initial Claim
Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be filed with the Plan
Manager. If any Participant or Beneficiary claims to be entitled to a
benefit under the Plan and the Plan Manager determines that such claim
should be denied in whole or in part, the Plan Manager shall notify
such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will
contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to
pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional
material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim
and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary and
(iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to
submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90
days after the claim is received by the Plan Manager. If such
notification is not given within such period, the claim will be
considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may
request a review of his or her claim.
5
8.2 Review Procedure
Within 60 days after the date on which a Participant or Beneficiary
receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within
60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have
occurred) such person (or his or her duly authorized representative)
may (i) file a written request with the Committee for a review of his
or her denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written
issues and comments to the Committee. The Committee will notify such
person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in
a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain
specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to
pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within
60 days after the request for review is received by the Committee. If
the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will
be considered denied.
8.3 Claims and Review Procedure Not Mandatory After a Change in Control
After the occurrence of a Change in Control, the claims procedure and
review procedure provided for in this section 8 shall be provided for
the use and benefit of Participants who may choose to use such
procedures, but compliance with the provisions of this section 8 shall
not be mandatory for any Participant claiming benefits after a Change
in Control. It shall not be necessary for any Participant to exhaust
these procedures and remedies after a Change in Control prior to
bringing any legal claim or action, or asserting any other demand, for
payments or other benefits to which such Employee claims entitlement.
SECTION 9
ADMINISTRATION
The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall have the same
rights, powers and duties as specified in the ISP.
This Plan is intended to be "a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an
employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees" within the meaning
of section 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and shall be administered in
a manner consistent with that intent.

SECTION 10
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Corporation retains the right to modify, amend or terminate the Plan;
provided, however, that no modification, amendment or termination shall, without
the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the rights of that Participant
to the benefits that have accrued under this Plan before such modification,
amendment or termination. Notice of every such modification, amendment or
termination shall be given in writing to each Participant.
After a Change in Control, the Plan may not be amended in any manner that
adversely affects the administration or payment of a Participant's benefits
hereunder (including but not limited to the timing and form of payment of
benefits hereunder) without the consent of the Participant nor may the
provisions of this section 10 or section 11 be amended after a Change in Control
with respect to a Participant without the written consent of the Participant;
provided, however, that the failure of a Participant to consent to any such
amendment shall not impair the ability of the Committee to amend the Plan with
respect to any other Participant who has consented to such amendment.
SECTION 11
SUCCESSORS
In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor(s) to the
Corporation and the Employers, the Corporation and the Employers shall be
obligated to require any successor(s) (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation and the Employers to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Corporation and the Employers would be required to perform
it if no such succession had taken place; in the event of such a succession,
references to "Corporation" and "Employers" herein shall thereafter be deemed to
include such successor(s).
SECTION 12
GOVERNING LAW
The Plan shall be governed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law.

SECTION 13
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 No Contract of Employment
Participation in the Plan does not give any person any right to be
retained in the service of the Corporation or any Affiliate. The right
and power of the Corporation or any Affiliate to terminate any Employee
is expressly reserved.
13.2 Compensation under Other Plans
Any amount deferred and/or payable under this Plan shall not be
considered Compensation for the purpose of computing benefits to which
such Participant may be entitled under any qualified pension plan (as

the Corporation or an Affiliate for the benefit of Employees, except as
specified in such plan or arrangement.

payment of any amount under the Plan any taxes required by law to be
withheld from a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to such
payment.

not in any way subject to their debts or other obligations and may not
be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, or assigned, except
to the extent otherwise required by law.
13.5 Severability
Whenever possible, each provision of this Plan shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law
(including the Code), but if any provision of the Plan shall be held to
be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (i) such
provision shall be deemed to be amended to, and to have contained from
the outset such language as shall be necessary to, accomplish the
objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent
permitted by law and (ii) any other provisions of this Plan shall
remain in full force and effect.
8
13.6 Construction
No rule of strict construction shall be applied against the
Corporation, Affiliate, Committee, Board or any other person regarding

established by the Committee.
Where the context allows, words in the masculine gender shall include
the feminine and neuter genders, the plural shall include the singular
and the singular shall include the plural.
The captions of sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any of its provisions.
13.7 Corporation and Affiliate Liability
Whenever, in the Committee's opinion, any person entitled to receive
any payment is under a legal disability, a minor, or incapacitated in
any way, so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the
Corporation or an Affiliate, at its discretion, may make such payment
for the benefit of such person to his or her legal representative, or
to a relative or friend of such person for his or her benefit, or it
may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in any manner it
deems advisable. When the Corporation or an Affiliate makes any payment
pursuant to this subsection, it shall be considered as a complete
discharge of its liability for the making of such payments under the
Plan.
13.8 Notices
All notices to the Corporation hereunder shall be delivered to the
attention of the Committee. Any notice or filing required or permitted
to be given to the Committee or the Corporation under this Plan shall
be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered
