3. Administration .

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee; provided, however, that the Board reserves the right to exercise from time to time the authority and discretion otherwise reserved herein to the Committee, and, in that case, the authority and discretion of the Board will be coextensive with that of the Committee. Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his or her capacity as a trustee of the Trust. Acts approved by a majority of the members of the Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts without a meeting reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. Any authority of the Committee (except for the authority described in subsection (b)(1)-(4) below) may be delegated to a plan administrator.

(b) The Committee shall have the authority:

(1) to select the Key Employees and Non-Employee Trustees to be granted Awards under the Plan, and to grant such Awards at such time or times as it may choose;

(2) to determine the type and size of each Award, including the number of Shares subject to the Award;

(3) to determine the terms and conditions of each Award;

(4) to amend an existing Award in whole or in part (including the extension of the exercise period for any NQSO), subject to Sections 7.1(g) and 7.2(e), except that the Committee may not (i) lower the exercise price of any Option, (ii) lower the grant date Fair Market Value of any SAR or (iii) without the consent of the Participant holding the Award, take any action under this clause if such action would adversely affect the rights of such Participant with respect to such Award;

(5) to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan; and

(6) to interpret the Plan and decide any questions and settle any controversies that may arise in connection with it.

Such determinations and actions of the Committee (or its delegate), and all other determinations and actions of the Committee (or its delegate) made or taken under authority granted by any provision of the Plan, shall be conclusive and shall bind all parties. Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed as limiting the power of the Board or the Committee to make the adjustments described in Sections 8.3 and 8.4.

4. Effective Date and Term of Plan .

(a) Effective Date . The Plan was adopted by the Board and became effective on April 19, 2018, and, was approved by the shareholders of the Trust pursuant to Section 9(b) on May 31, 2018.

 

(b) Term of Plan for ISOs . No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the most recent date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Trust, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.

5. Shares Subject to the Plan . The aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan (pursuant to Options, Restricted Shares, SARs, Performance Shares, RSUs or otherwise) is 1,757,499 Shares (which number includes the Shares that were available under the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Second Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan). Further, no Key Employee shall receive Options, Restricted Shares, SARs, Performance Shares and/or RSUs for more than 250,000 Shares during any calendar year under the Plan. However, the limits in the preceding two sentences shall be subject to the adjustment described in Section 8.3. Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or reacquired Shares, and the Trust may purchase Shares required for this purpose, from time to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable.

Any Shares subject to an Option which expires or otherwise terminates for any reason whatever (including, without limitation, the surrender thereof without having been exercised), any Shares that are subject to an

Award that are forfeited, any Shares not delivered to the Participant because they are withheld for, or remitted by the Participant for, the payment of taxes with respect to an Award or in satisfaction of the exercise price of an Option, and any Shares subject to an Award which is payable in Shares or cash and that is satisfied in cash rather than in Shares, shall continue to be available for Awards under the Plan. However, if an Option is cancelled, the Shares covered by the cancelled Option shall be counted against the maximum number of Shares specified above for which Options may be granted to a single Key Employee.

6. Eligibility . The class of employees who shall be eligible to receive Awards (including ISOs) under the Plan shall be the Key Employees (including any trustees of the Trust who are also Key Employees). The class of individuals who shall be eligible to receive Awards (other than ISOs) under the Plan shall be the Non-Employee Trustees. More than one Award may be granted to a Participant under the Plan.

7. Types of Awards .

7.1 Options .

(a) Kinds of Options . Both ISOs and NQSOs may be granted by the Committee under the Plan; however, ISOs may only be granted to Key Employees of the Trust or of a Related Corporation. Once an ISO has been granted, no action by the Committee that would cause the Option to lose its status as an ISO under the Code will be effective without the consent of the Participant holding the Option.

 

(b) $100,000 Limit . The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Key Employee during any calendar year (counting ISOs under this Plan and under any other stock option plan of the Trust or a Related Corporation) shall not exceed $100,000. If an Option intended as an ISO is granted to a Key Employee and the Option may not be treated in whole or in part as an ISO pursuant to such $100,000 limit, the Option shall be treated as an ISO to the extent it may be so treated under the limit and as an NQSO as to the remainder. For purposes of determining whether an ISO would cause the limit to be exceeded, ISOs shall be taken into account in the order granted. The annual limits set forth above for ISOs shall not apply to NQSOs.

 

(c) Exercise Price . Except as provided in Section 10.10, the exercise price of an Option shall be determined by the Committee, subject to the following:

(1) The exercise price of an ISO shall not be less than the greater of (i) 100 percent (110 percent in the case of an ISO granted to a More-Than-10-Percent Shareholder) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option, determined as of the time the Option is granted, or (ii) the par value per Share.

(2) The exercise price of an NQSO shall not be less than the greater of (i) 100% percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option, determined as of the time the Option is granted, or (ii) the par value per Share.

 

(d) Term of Options . The term of each Option may not be more than 10 years (five years, in the case of an ISO granted to a More-Than-10-Percent Shareholder) from the date the Option was granted, or such earlier date as may be specified in the Award Agreement.

 

(e) Exercise of Options . An Option shall become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Committee may specify. The Committee may at any time and from time to time accelerate the time at which all or any part of the Option may be exercised. Any exercise of an Option must be in writing, signed by the proper person, and delivered or mailed to the Trust, accompanied by (i) any other documents required by the Committee and (ii) payment in full in accordance with subsection (f) below for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in subsection (f)(3) below, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). Only full Shares shall be issued under the Plan, and any fractional Share that might otherwise be issuable upon exercise of an Option granted hereunder shall be forfeited.

 

(f) Payment for Shares . The Award Agreement shall set forth, from among the following alternatives, how the exercise price is to be paid:

 

(1) in cash or by check (acceptable to the Committee), bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Trust;

(2) in Shares previously acquired by the Participant; provided, however, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period of time as required to be considered “mature” Shares for purposes of accounting treatment;

(3) by delivering a properly executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Trust and a broker, with irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver to the Trust the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price of the Option; or

(4) by any combination of the above-listed forms of payment or such other means as the Committee may approve.

 

In the event the Option price is paid, in whole or in part, with Shares, the portion of the Option price so paid shall be equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option of the Shares surrendered in payment of such Option price.

(g) No Repricing; No Dividend Equivalents . Repricing of Options shall not be permitted without the approval of the shareholders of the Trust. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of an Option to lower its exercise price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in Section 8.3); (ii) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Option in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 8.4 (involving certain corporate transactions). Such cancellation and exchange will be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it would be treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of the Participant. Options shall not earn dividend equivalents.

7.2 Share Appreciation Rights .

 

(a) Grant of Share Appreciation Rights . SARs may be granted to a Key Employee or a Non-Employee Trustee by the Committee. SARs may be granted in tandem with, or independently of, Options granted under the Plan. An SAR granted in tandem with an Option that is not an ISO may be granted either at or after the time the Option is granted. An SAR granted in tandem with an ISO may be granted only at the time the ISO is granted.

 

(b) Nature of Share Appreciation Rights . An SAR entitles the Participant to receive, with respect to each Share as to which the SAR is exercised, the excess of the Share’s Fair Market Value on the date of exercise over its Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted. Such excess shall be paid in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. With respect to an SAR paid in Shares, the total number of Shares actually issued to a Participant with respect to such SAR, rather than the number of Shares subject to such SAR, shall reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

(c) Rules Applicable to Tandem Awards . When SARs are granted in tandem with Options, the number of SARs granted to a Participant that shall be exercisable during a specified period shall not exceed the number of Shares that the Participant may purchase upon the exercise of the related Option during such period. Upon the exercise of an Option, the SAR relating to the Shares covered by such Option will terminate. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the related Option will terminate to the extent of an equal number of Shares. The SAR will be exercisable only at such time or times, and to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable and will be exercisable in accordance with the procedure required for exercise of the related Option. The SAR will be transferable only when the related Option is transferable, and under the same conditions. An SAR granted in tandem with an ISO may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the exercise price of such ISO.

(d) Exercise of Independent Share Appreciation Rights . A SAR not granted in tandem with an Option shall become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement. The Committee may at any time accelerate the time at which all or any part of the SAR may be exercised. Any exercise of an independent SAR must be in writing, signed by the proper person, and delivered or mailed to the Trust, accompanied by any other documents required by the Committee.

 

(e) No Repricing; No Dividend Equivalents . Repricing of SARs shall not be permitted without the approval of the shareholders of the Trust. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of an SAR to lower its exercise price (i.e., its starting value) (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in Section 8.3); (ii) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an SAR in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise price (i.e., its starting value) is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 8.4 (involving certain corporate transactions). Such cancellation and exchange will be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it would be treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of the Participant. SARs shall not earn dividend equivalents.

 

(f) Term of SARs . The term of each SAR may not be more than 10 years from the date the SAR was granted, or such earlier date as may be specified in the Award Agreement.

7.3 Restricted Shares .

(a) General Requirements . Restricted Shares may be issued or transferred to a Key Employee or a Non-Employee Trustee for no consideration.

 

(b) Restrictions . Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Plan, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, and if the Participant ceases to be an employee or a Non-Employee Trustee of any of the Trust or its Subsidiary Entities or any reason, shall be forfeited to the Trust. These restrictions will lapse at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Committee may specify in the Award Agreement. Upon the lapse of all restrictions, the Shares will cease to be Restricted Shares for purposes of the Plan. The Committee may at any time accelerate the time at which the restrictions on all or any part of the Shares will lapse.

(c) Annual Grant to Non-Employee Trustees. As of the first business day following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Trust (or, if the Shares do not trade on such business day, then as of the first trading day thereafter), such number of Restricted Shares as determined by the Board in its sole discretion shall be issued automatically for no consideration to each Non-Employee Trustee then in service with the Trust. The automatic grant of Restricted Shares to each Non-Employee Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the “Annual Grant.” Restrictions with respect to Restricted Shares underlying Annual Grants will generally lapse on May 15 ^th of each year following the applicable grant date (or, if such May 15 ^th is not a trading day, the trading day next preceding such May 15 ^th ); provided, that such restrictions will immediately lapse in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability or upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. If, as of the grant date of any Annual Grant, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan is insufficient to make all the Annual Grants then due to be issued pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), no Annual Grants will then be made and the operation of this Section 7.3(c) will then be automatically suspended.

 

(d) Rights as a Shareholder . Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant who receives Restricted Shares shall have certain rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, subject to the restrictions described in subsection (b) above and any other conditions imposed by the Committee at the time of grant. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, certificates evidencing Restricted Shares will remain in the possession of the Trust until such Shares are free of all restrictions under the Plan.

(e) Notice of Tax Election . Any Participant making an election under section 83(b) of the Code for the immediate recognition of income attributable to an Award of Restricted Shares must

(f) provide a copy thereof to the Trust within 10 days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

7.4 Performance Shares; Performance Goals .

 

(a) Grant . The Committee may grant Performance Shares to any Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee, conditioned upon the meeting of designated Performance Goals. The Committee shall determine the number of Performance Shares to be granted. Performance Shares may be granted in the form of RSUs.

(b) Performance Period and Performance Goals . When Performance Shares or RSUs are granted, the Committee shall establish the performance period during which performance shall be measured, the Performance Goals, and such other conditions of the Award as the Committee deems appropriate.

(c) Delivery of Performance Shares and RSUs . At the end of each performance period, the Committee shall determine to what extent the Performance Goals and other conditions of the Award have been met and the number of Shares, if any, to be delivered with respect to the Award. Any Shares awarded pursuant to RSUs shall be delivered no later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period, except to the extent such delivery is deferred pursuant to a deferral arrangement that complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations issued thereunder or any amendment thereof or successor thereto.

(d) Dividend Equivalents. Any grant of Performance Shares or RSUs may provide for the payment to the Participant of DERs thereon in cash or additional Shares, provided, however, that the Award Agreement shall provide that the Participant shall not receive any DERs unless and until such time as the Performance Shares or RSUs are earned and paid, and provided further that if the payment or crediting of DERs is in respect of an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, then the payment or crediting of such DERs shall conform to the requirement of Code Section 409A and such requirements shall be specified in writing.

7.5 Contract Shares .

 

(a) Grant . The Committee may grant Contract Shares to any Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee, conditioned upon the Participant’s continued provision of services to the Trust or one of its Subsidiary Entities through the date(s) specified in the Award Agreement. The Committee shall determine the number of Contract Shares to be granted.

 

(b) Contract Dates . When Contract Shares are granted, the Committee shall establish the Contract Date(s) on which the Contract Shares shall be delivered to the Participant, provided the Participant is still providing services to the Trust or one of its Subsidiary Entities on such date(s).

 

(c)   Delivery of Contract Shares . If the Participant is still providing services to the Trust or to one or more of its Subsidiary Entities as of the Contract Date(s), the Committee shall cause the Contract Shares to be delivered to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement.

 

7.6 Bonus Shares . The Committee may grant Bonus Shares to any Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee as a bonus to the Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee for services to the Trust or to one or more of its Subsidiary Entries. The Committee shall determine the number of Bonus Shares to be granted.

 

7.7 Dividend Equivalent Rights . The Committee may provide for payment to a Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee of DERs, either currently or in the future, or for the investment of such DERs on behalf of the Participant; however, any DERs relating to awards that vest based on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals will only be earned to the extent such Performance Goals are met.

7.8 Holding Period. As a condition to the Grant of an Award to the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer or to any other executive officer holding the title of Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President, such individual shall hold such Award for a minimum period of one year following (i) in the case of an Award of Options

or SARs, the date of exercise of such Awards, and (ii) in the case of an Award of Restricted Shares, Performance Shares or RSUs, the date on which such Award vests.

8. Events Affecting Outstanding Awards.

8.1 Termination of Service (Other Than by Death or Disability). If a Participant ceases to be an employee or trustee of any of the Trust and its Subsidiary Entities for any reason other than death or Disability, the following shall apply:

(a) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Options and SARs held by the Participant that were not exercisable immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of service shall terminate at that time. Any Options or SARs that were exercisable immediately prior to the termination of service will continue to be exercisable for three months (or for such longer period as the Award Agreement states), and shall thereupon terminate, unless the Award Agreement provides by its terms for immediate termination or for termination in less than three months in the event of termination of service in specific circumstances. In no event, however, shall an Option or SAR remain exercisable beyond the latest date on which it could have been exercised without regard to this Section. For purposes of this subsection (a), a termination of service shall not be deemed to have resulted by reason of a sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for purposes of the Plan by the Committee.

 

(b) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Restricted Shares held by the Participant at the time of termination of service must be transferred to the Trust (and, in the event the certificates representing such Restricted Shares are held by the Trust, such Restricted Shares shall be so transferred without any further action by the Participant), in accordance with Section 7.3.

(c) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Performance Shares, RSUs, Contract Shares and DERs to which the Participant was not irrevocably entitled prior to the termination of service shall be forfeited and the Award canceled as of the date of such termination of service.

 

8.2 Death or Disability . If a Participant dies or terminates his or her services on account of a Disability, the following shall apply:

 

(a) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Options and SARs held by a Participant that were not exercisable immediately prior to the Participant’s death or termination of service on account of Disability shall terminate at the date of death or termination of service on account of Disability. Any Options or SARs that were exercisable immediately prior to death or termination of service on account of Disability, as the case may be, will continue to be exercisable by the Participant or by the Participant’s legal representative (in the case of Disability), or by the Participant’s executor or administrator or by the person or persons to whom the Option or SAR is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution (in the case of death), for the one-year period ending with the first anniversary of the Participant’s death or termination of service on account of Disability (or for such shorter or longer period as may be provided in the Award Agreement), and shall thereupon terminate. In no event, however, shall an Option or SAR remain exercisable beyond the latest date on which it could have been exercised without regard to this Section.

 

(b) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Restricted Shares held by the Participant at the date of death or termination of service on account of Disability, as the case may be, must be transferred to the Trust (and, in the event the certificates representing such Restricted Shares are held by the Trust, such Restricted Shares shall be so transferred without any further action by the Participant), in accordance with Section 7.3.

 

(c) Except as otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, all Performance Shares, RSUs, Contract Shares and DERs to which the Participant was not irrevocably entitled prior to death or termination of service on account of Disability, as the case may be, shall be forfeited and the Award canceled as of the date of death or termination of service on account of Disability.

8.3 Capital Adjustments . The maximum number of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the maximum number of SARs not in tandem with Options, the maximum number of DERs payable in

notional Shares that may be granted, and the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or SARs may be granted to any Key Employee under the Plan, all as stated in Section 5, and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of outstanding Awards under the Plan (as well as the exercise price per Share under outstanding Options) shall be proportionately adjusted, as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision (share-split), consolidation (reverse split), share dividend, or similar change in the capitalization of the Trust. No adjustment under this Section shall be made (i) to an outstanding ISO if such adjustment would constitute a modification under section 424(h) of the Code, unless the Participant consents to such adjustment, and (ii) to an outstanding NQSO or SAR if such adjustment would constitute a modification under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) or any amendment thereof or successor thereto unless the Participant consents to such adjustment.

8.4 Certain Corporate Transactions .

 

(a) In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed by the surviving or successor entity; provided, however, that in the event of a proposed Change of Control, the Committee may terminate all or a portion of any outstanding Award, effective upon the consummation of the Change of Control, if it determines that such termination is in the best interests of the Trust. If the Committee decides to terminate outstanding Options or SARs, the Committee shall give each Participant holding an Option or SAR to be terminated not less than seven days’ notice prior to any such termination, and any Option or SAR that is to be so terminated may be exercised (if and only to the extent that it is then exercisable) up to, and including the date immediately preceding such termination. Further, the Committee, in its discretion, may (i) accelerate, in whole or in part, the date on which any or all Options and SARs become exercisable, (ii) remove the restrictions from the outstanding Restricted Shares, (iii) cause the delivery of any Performance Shares, even if the associated Performance Goals have not been met, (iv) cause the delivery of any Contract Shares, even if the Contract Date(s) have not been reached, and/or (v) cause the payment of any DERs. The Committee also may, in its discretion, change the terms of any outstanding Award to reflect any such Change of Control; provided that, (i) in the case of ISOs, such change would not constitute a “modification” under section 424(h) of the Code unless the Participant consents to the change, and (ii) in the case of NQSOs and SARs, such change would not constitute a modification under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) or any amendment thereof or successor thereto unless the Participant consents to the change.

 

(b) In lieu of the action described in subsection (a) above, the Committee may, in its discretion, arrange to have the surviving or acquiring entity or affiliate grant to each Participant a replacement or substitute award which, in the judgment of the Committee, is substantially equivalent to the Award.

9. Suspension, Amendment or Termination of the Plan .

 

(a) In General . The Board, pursuant to a written resolution, may from time to time suspend or terminate the Plan or amend the Plan and any outstanding Award Agreement evidencing Annual Grants, and, except as provided in Sections 3(b)(4), 7.1(a), 7.1(e), 7.1(g), 7.2(e) and 8.4(a), the Committee may amend any outstanding Awards (other than Awards of Annual Grants) in any respect whatsoever; except that, without the approval of the shareholders (given in the manner set forth in subsection (b) below)-

(1) no amendment may be made that would-

(A) change the class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to ISOs;

(B) except as permitted under Section 8.3, increase the maximum number of Shares with respect to which ISOs may be granted under the Plan; or

(C) extend the duration of the Plan under Section 4(b) with respect to any ISOs granted hereunder; and

(2) no amendment may be made that would require shareholder approval under the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange or as required under any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such suspension, termination, or amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant holding an outstanding Award without the consent of such Participant.

(b) Manner of Shareholder Approval . The approval of shareholders must be effected by a majority of the votes cast (including abstentions, to the extent abstentions are counted as voting under applicable state law), in a separate vote at a duly held shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting Shares is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the Plan.

10. Miscellaneous .

10.1 Documentation of Awards . Awards shall be evidenced by such written Award Agreements as may be prescribed by the Committee from time to time. Such instruments may be in the form of agreements to be executed by both the Participant and the Trust, or certificates, letters, or similar instruments, which need not be executed by the Participant but acceptance of which by the Participant will evidence agreement by the Participant to the terms thereof.

 

10.2 Rights as a Shareholder . Except as specifically provided by the Plan or an Award Agreement, the receipt of an Award shall not give a Participant rights as a shareholder; instead, the Participant shall obtain such rights, subject to any limitations imposed by the Plan or the Award Agreement, upon the actual receipt of Shares.

 

10.3 Conditions on Delivery of Shares . The Trust shall not deliver any Shares pursuant to the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan (i) until all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or removed, (ii) until all applicable Federal and state laws and regulations have been complied with, and (iii) if the outstanding Shares are at the time of such delivery listed on any stock exchange, until the Shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange. If an Award is exercised by the Participant’s legal representative, the Trust will be under no obligation to deliver Shares pursuant to such exercise until the Trust is satisfied as to the authority of such representative.

10.4 Registration and Listing of Shares . If the Trust shall deem it necessary to register under the Securities Act or any other applicable statute any Shares purchased or otherwise delivered under this Plan, or to qualify any such Shares for an exemption from any such statutes, the Trust shall take such action at its own expense. Purchases and grants of Shares hereunder shall be postponed as necessary pending any such action.

 

10.5 Compliance with Rule 16b-3 . All elections and transactions under this Plan by persons subject to Rule 16b-3, promulgated under section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any successor to such Rule, are intended to comply with at least one of the exemptive conditions under such Rule. The Committee shall establish such administrative guidelines to facilitate compliance with at least one such exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3 as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate.

 

10.6 Tax Withholding .

 

(a) Obligation to Withhold . The Trust shall withhold from any cash payment made pursuant to an Award an amount sufficient to satisfy all Federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements (the “withholding requirements”). In the case of an Award pursuant to which Shares may be delivered, the Committee may require that the Participant or other appropriate person remit to the Trust an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirements, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Committee with regard to such requirements, prior to the delivery of any Shares.

(b) Election to Withhold Shares . The Committee, in its discretion, may permit or require the Participant to satisfy the withholding requirements, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Trust withhold Shares (or by returning previously acquired Shares to the Trust); provided, however, that the Trust may limit the number of Shares withheld to satisfy the tax withholding requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse accounting consequences. Shares shall be valued, for purposes of this subsection (b), at their Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an amount is includible in income by

the Participant (the “Determination Date”), rather than the date of grant). The Committee shall adopt such withholding rules as it deems necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section.

10.7 Transferability of Awards . No ISO may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No other Award may be transferred, except to the extent permitted in the applicable Award Agreement, which may be only for no consideration, or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Award requiring exercise may be exercised only by the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s incapacity, by the person or persons legally appointed to act on the Participant’s behalf).

10.8 Registration . If the Participant is married at the time Shares are delivered and if the Participant so requests at such time, the certificate or certificates for such Shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship.

10.9 Acquisitions . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Awards may be granted hereunder in substitution for awards held by directors, trustees and key employees of another entity that engages in a merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, or similar transaction with the Trust or a Related Corporation, provided the terms of the substitute Awards so granted conform to the terms set forth in this Plan (except that the exercise price of any substituted Option-whether an ISO or an NQSO-may be adjusted according to the provisions of section 424(a) of the Code, if the grant of such substituted Option is pursuant to a transaction described in such section of the Code).

10.10 Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan, any Award which is subject to recoupment or clawback under any law, government regulations or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such recoupment and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

10.11 Employment Rights . Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of Awards will confer on any person any right to continued employment by the Trust or any of its Subsidiary Entities or affect in any way the right of any of the foregoing to terminate an employment relationship at any time.

10.12 Indemnification of Board and Committee . Without limiting any other rights of indemnification that they may have from the Trust or any of its Subsidiary Entities, the members of the Board and the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Trust against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under, or in connection with, the Plan or any Award granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Trust) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of willful misconduct or recklessness on their part. Upon the making or institution of any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding, the Board or Committee member shall notify the Trust in writing, giving the Trust an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee member undertakes to handle it on his or her own behalf. The provisions of this Section shall not give members of the Board or the Committee greater rights than they would have under the Trust’s by-laws or Pennsylvania law.

10.13 Application of Funds . Any cash proceeds received by the Trust from the sale of Shares pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be added to the general funds of the Trust. Any Shares received in payment for additional Shares upon exercise of an Option shall become treasury shares.

10.14 Governing Law . The Plan shall be governed by the applicable Code provisions to the maximum extent possible. Otherwise, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to the principles of conflict of laws) shall govern the operation of, and the rights of Key Employees or Non-Employee Trustees under, the Plan and Awards granted hereunder.

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective as of February 9, 2018)

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective as of February 9, 2018)

1. Purpose. The Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) previously adopted The Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan, initially effective April 1, 1999 (the “Plan”), in order to encourage share ownership by all eligible employees by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest (or increase their proprietary interest) in the Trust. The Plan was amended and restated effective June 3, 2010. The Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety effective as of February 9, 2018. The Plan is not intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.

2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Committee”). Acts approved by a majority of the Committee at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts without a meeting reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his or her capacity as a trustee of the Trust.

The Committee shall have full and final authority, in its discretion but subject to the express provisions of the Plan: (i) to interpret the Plan; (ii) to make, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iii) to determine the terms and provisions of the instruments by which options shall be evidenced; and (iv) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. No member of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted hereunder. Any and all authority of the Committee may be delegated by the Committee to a plan administrator.

3. Eligibility.

3.1 General Rule . Except as provided in paragraphs (b) below and subject to Section 9(e), each employee of the Trust, PREIT Services, LLC (“Services”) or any designated entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Trust who has been employed by the Trust, Services, or a designated entity for at least six months shall be eligible for option grants described in Section 5. The Trust, Services and any designated entity are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Participating Employer.”

3.2 Exceptions . An employee will not be eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she is customarily employed by a Participating Employer for 20 hours or less per week or if he or she is customarily employed by a Participating Employer for not more than five months in any calendar year. In addition, in no event may an employee be granted an option if such employee, immediately after the options granted, would own shares possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Trust.

4. Shares. The shares subject to the options as provided herein shall be shares of common beneficial interest in the Trust, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”). The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under options shall not exceed 682,000; provided that such number shall be adjusted if required by Section 9(h). Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares, and the Trust may purchase shares required for this purpose, from time to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable.

5. Grant of Option.

5.1 Grant of Option . Employees shall have the right to purchase Shares under options granted as of January 1, 2018 (or, in the Committee’s discretion, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter) and as of each subsequent January l (the “Grant Dates”). Each employee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 3 shall be granted an option on the first Grant Date coinciding with or immediately following the date he or she becomes an eligible employee, and on each succeeding Grant Date, provided he or she continues to meet the eligibility requirements of Section 3. The term of the options (the “Option Term”) shall be 12 calendar months (from January 1 to December 31).

 

5.2 Purchase Periods . Each Option Term shall contain four three-month Purchase Periods (January-March, April­ June, July-September, and October-December), provided, however, that the initial Purchase Period shall be January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.

5.3 Number of Shares Purchasable Under Option . Subject to the limitation in paragraph (d) below, at the beginning of each Option Term each eligible employee shall be granted an option, exercisable in installments at the end of each Purchase Period during such Option Term, to purchase up to a number of Shares equal to the total of the number of Shares purchasable by the employee for each Purchase Period in the Option Term. The number of Shares purchasable for a Purchase Period shall be determined by dividing the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions (as described in Section 6) for the Purchase Period by the per-share exercise price (determined in accordance with Section 9(b)) of the option installment for such Purchase Period. For example, if an employee makes payroll deductions of $6,000 for a 12-month Option Term ($1,500 for each Purchase Period in the Option Term) and the per-share exercise price for each Purchase Period is $19.55, $20.40, $21.25, and $22.10, respectively, then the number of Shares purchasable by the employee for the Option Term is 286, determined as follows:

$1,500      $1,500      $1,500     

Full and fractional Shares shall be purchasable under the Plan. However, in accordance with Section 9(1), no fractional Share certificates shall be issued.

5.4 Limitation on Aggregate Number of Shares Purchasable Under Option . Subject to the limitations described in Section 9(m), the aggregate number of full Shares purchasable under an option for an Option Term shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 2,000 (subject to adjustment under Section 9(h)), or (ii) the number determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of a share (as described in Section 9(b)) on the most recent business day before the Grant Date for such Option Term. Further, if the total number of Shares to be purchased on any date in accordance with Section 7(a) exceeds the Shares then available under the Plan (after deduction of all Shares that have been purchased under Section 7(a)), the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practical and as it shall determine to be equitable.

6. Participation.

6.1 Payroll Deductions . Subject to rules established by the Committee from time to time, an eligible employee may elect to participate in the Plan by making payroll deductions (as a whole percentage of the employee’s compensation, subject to the limits set forth in paragraph (b) below) for each Option Term in which the employee is eligible to participate. For purposes of this Plan, “compensation” shall mean the total salary or wages paid to an employee during an Option Term, excluding any commissions, bonuses, overtime, or other extra or incentive pay.

6.2 Maximum Payroll Deduction . The maximum total payroll deductions for any employee for an Option Term may not exceed 10 percent of the employee’s compensation for the Option Term.

6.3 General Assets; Taxes; No Interest . All payroll deductions made for an employee shall be credited to his or her account as of the payday as of which the deduction is made. All payroll deductions shall be held by the Trust (or by a Participating Employer as agent for the Trust). All such contributions shall be held as part of the general assets of the Trust, and shall not be held in trust or otherwise segregated from the Trust’s general assets. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any such contributions. Each employee’s right to the contributions credited to his or her account shall be that of a general and unsecured creditor of the Trust.

6.4 Automatic Refund . The balance credited to the account of an employee automatically shall be refunded in full (without interest) if his or her status as an employee of the Trust and all Participating Employers terminates for any reason whatsoever during a Purchase Period. Such refunds shall be made as soon as practicable after the Committee has actual notice of any such termination.

6.5 Participation after Surrender . Each employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 3 but who has elected to surrender all or a portion of his or her option in accordance with Section 8 (or, as described in paragraph (g) below, is deemed to have surrendered his or her option) for an Option Term, shall be granted an option in accordance with Section 5 in subsequent Option Terms, provided the employee continues to meet the eligibility requirements of Section 3. However, such employee must submit a new payroll deduction agreement under paragraph (a) above in order to begin payroll deductions for a subsequent Option Term.

6.6 No Contract to Purchase . Electing to make payroll deductions for any Option Term will not constitute a contract to purchase any of the Shares purchasable under an option.

6.7 Waiver of Rights . An employee who fails to elect to participate in the Plan for an Option Term in the manner and within the time provided under paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to have surrendered the option granted to the employee for such Option Term and shall have no further rights under the Plan with respect to such surrendered option.

7. Exercise of Option.

7.1 Method of Exercise . Unless the employee has surrendered his or her option in accordance with Section 8(a) (or is deemed to have surrendered his or her option under Section 6(g)) before the end of a Purchase Period, as of the last business day of the Purchase Period (the “Exercise Date”), the employee will be credited for such number of whole Shares and any fraction of a whole share (computed to the number of decimal places set by the Committee) as his or her accumulated payroll deductions shall be sufficient to pay for, subject to the limitations of Section 5(d).

7.2 Tax Withholding . The Trust and each Participating Employer shall have the right to make such provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any tax laws with respect to purchases of Shares made under this Plan, including (without limitation) by withholding tax amounts from other amounts then payable to an employee.

7.3 Return of Excess Payroll Deductions . Any payroll deductions remaining after the employee exercises an option for an Option Term shall be refunded to the employee.

8. Employee’s Right to Surrender Option.

8.1 Surrender of Option . An employee may elect to surrender his or her option during any Purchase Period of an Option Term and withdraw any payroll deductions already made for such Purchase Period under the Plan by giving written notice to the Trust. However, in order for such surrender to be effective for the Purchase Period, the employee’s written notice must be received by the Trust on or before thirty calendar days prior to the end of the Purchase Period. All of such employee’s payroll deductions will be refunded to him or her as soon as practicable after the Trust receives the employee’s notice of withdrawal and no further payroll deductions will be made from the employee’s pay until the employee completes a new payroll deduction agreement in accordance with Section 6(a) for a subsequent Option Term. As to any option so surrendered, the employee shall have no further right of any nature at any subsequent time.

8.2 Effect on Later Participation . An election to surrender an option during a Purchase Period of an Option Term shall preclude the employee from participating in any remaining Purchase Periods of such Option Term, but will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan for subsequent Option Terms.

9. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements in such form as the Committee shall prescribe, provided that all employees granted such options shall have the same rights and privileges (except as otherwise required by Section 5), and provided further that such options and option agreements shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

9.1 Employee Notification and Agreement . Employees shall be notified (i) of the requirements they must meet to be granted options under the Plan, (ii) about the terms and conditions of such options, and (iii) that any employee eligible to be granted options under the Plan may request a copy of the Plan. An employee’s agreement to the terms of an option will be evidenced by his or her payroll deduction agreement with the Trust or a Participating Employer for an Option Term.

9.2 Option Price . The per-share exercise price of an option for each Purchase Period of an Option Term shall be the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a Share as of the most recent business day before the Grant Date for such Option Term, or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a Share as of the applicable Exercise Date. In making such determination for a Purchase Period, during such time as the Shares are listed upon an established stock exchange or exchanges, the per share “fair market value” shall be deemed to be the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the relevant date. During such time as the Shares are not listed upon an established stock exchange, the per-share fair market value shall be determined by the Committee by a method sanctioned by the Code, or rules and regulations thereunder. The fair market value per share is to be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.421-7 (e) and 20.2031-2. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee in fixing the exercise price shall have full authority and be fully protected in doing so.

9.3 Medium and Time of Payment . The exercise price of an option for a Purchase Period shall be payable in United States dollars upon the exercise of the option for such Purchase Period, and shall be payable only by accumulated payroll deductions made in accordance with Section 6.

9.4 Term of Option . No option may be exercised after the end of the Option Term in which the option was granted.

9.5 Termination of Employment; Change in Status . In the event that an employee ceases to be employed by the Trust and all Participating Employers as an eligible employee for any reason during the employee’s participation in an Option Term, he or she will be deemed to have surrendered his or her option and his or her accumulated payroll deductions shall be refunded in accordance with Section 6(d). Whether an authorized leave of absence for military or governmental service shall constitute termination of employment for the purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with applicable law, which determination, unless modified by the Board (in accordance with applicable law), shall be final and conclusive.

9.6 Designation of Beneficiary . An eligible employee may designate a beneficiary (i) who shall receive the balance credited to his or her account if the employee

dies before the end of a Purchase Period and (ii) who shall receive the Shares, if any, purchased for the employee under this Plan if the employee dies after the end of a Purchase Period but before either the certificate representing such Shares has been delivered to the employee or before such Shares have been credited to a brokerage account maintained for the employee. Such designation may be revised in writing at any time by the employee by filing an amended designation, and his or her revised designation shall be effective at such time as the Committee receives such amended designation. If a deceased employee failed to designate a beneficiary or, if no person so designated survives an employee or, if after checking his or her last known mailing address, the whereabouts of the person so designated are unknown, then the employee’s estate shall be treated as his or her designated beneficiary under this paragraph (f).

9.7 Nontransferability . Except as provided in paragraph (f) above, neither payroll deductions made by an employee, nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares, nor any rights to a return of payroll deductions under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the employee or by his or her beneficiary. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect. An option may be exercised only by the employee.

9.8 Changes In Capital Structure . Subject to any required action by the shareholders, the number of Shares designated in Section 4 and Section 5(d)(i), the number of Shares covered by each outstanding option, and the price per share of each such option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of the Trust resulting from a subdivision (share-split) or consolidation (reverse-split) of shares or the payment of a share dividend (but only on the Shares) or any other similar change in the capitalization of the Trust, without receipt of consideration by the Trust.

Subject to any required action by the shareholders, if the Trust is not the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, the Committee, in its discretion may either (i) cause each outstanding option to apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the option would have been entitled, or (ii) cause each outstanding option to terminate, provided that each employee then holding an option under this Plan shall, in such event, have the right immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, to exercise his or her option to the extent of his or her accumulated payroll deductions. ln the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Trust, the Committee shall cause each outstanding option to terminate, provided that each employee then holding an option under this Plan shall, in such event, have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation, to exercise his or her option to the extent of his or her accumulated payroll deductions.

In the event of a change in the Shares of the Trust as presently constituted which is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be Shares within the meaning of the Plan.

To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to shares or securities of the Trust, such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Except as expressly provided in this paragraph (h), an employee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, the payment of any share dividend, any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class, or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation or spin-off of assets or shares of another corporation; and any issue by the Trust of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to the option.

The grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Trust to make adjustments, reclassification, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

9.9 Rights as a Shareholder. An employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her option until the date the option is exercised in accordance with the terms of the Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities, or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share have been reflected in the book-entry record maintained by the Share transfer agent or the certificate for such Shares has been delivered, except as provided in paragraph (h) above.

9.10 Investment Purpose . Each option under the Plan shall be granted on the condition that the purchases of Shares thereunder shall be for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution, except that in the event the Shares subject to such option are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in the event a resale of such Shares without such registration would otherwise be permissible, such condition shall be inoperative if in the opinion of counsel for the Trust such condition is not required under the Securities Act or any other applicable law, regulation or rule of any governmental agency.

9.11 Adjustment in Number of Shares Exercisable . If the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased under options granted under the Plan exceeds the aggregate number of Shares specified in Section 4, the Trust shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for distribution so that the limit of Section 4 is not exceeded, and the balance of payroll deductions made by each participating employee shall be returned to him or her as promptly as possible.

9.12 Delivery . A book-entry record of the Shares purchased by each employee shall be maintained by the Trust’s Share transfer agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a refund is made to an employee pursuant to Section 6(d), the employee may leave the Shares in the Plan or may direct that all Shares then held for the employee under the Plan be delivered to him or her. However, (i) no Share certificate representing a fractional Share shall be delivered to an employee or to an employee and any other person, (ii) cash equal to the fair market value of an employee’s fractional share shall be distributed

 

(when an employee requests a distribution of certificates for all of the Shares held for him or her) in lieu of such fractional share unless an employee in light of Rule 16b-3 (as described in Section l 0) waives his or her right to such cash payment, and (iii) the Committee shall have the right to charge an employee for registering Shares in the name of the employee and any other person. No employee (or any person who makes a claim for, on behalf of, or in place of an employee) shall have any interest in any Shares under this Plan until they have been reflected in the book-entry record maintained by the Share transfer agent or the certificate for such Shares has been delivered to such person.

9.13 Registration and Listing of Shares . If the Trust shall deem it necessary to register under the Securities Act or any other applicable statutes any Shares purchased under this Plan, or to qualify any such Shares for an exemption from any such statutes, the Trust shall take such action at its own expense. If Shares are listed on any national securities exchange at the time any Shares are purchased hereunder, the Trust shall make prompt application for the listing on such national share exchange of such Shares, at its own expense. Purchases of Shares hereunder shall be postponed as necessary pending any such action.

9.14 Other Provisions . The option agreements authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, provided that no such provision may in any way be in conflict with the terms of the Plan.

10. Compliance With Rule 16B-3 . All elections and transactions under this Plan by persons subject to Rule 16b-3, promulgated under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor to such Rule, are intended to comply with at least one of the exemptive conditions under such Rule. The Committee shall establish such administrative guidelines to facilitate compliance with at least one such exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3 as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate. If any provision of this Plan, any administrative guideline, or any act or omission with respect to this Plan (including any act or omission by an employee) fails to satisfy such exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3 or otherwise is inconsistent with such condition, such provision, guideline, or act or omission shall be deemed null and void.

11. Indemnification of Committee. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as trustees or as members of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Trust against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Trust) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties; provided that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall in writing offer the Trust the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

12. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Committee may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any Shares, including those Shares subject to options that may be exercised in the Purchase Period in which the action occurs, suspend, discontinue, revise, or amend the Plan in any respect whatsoever. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may terminate this Plan at any time, upon 10 days’ notice to employees, by declaring an early end to the Option Term then in effect. In that event, the end of the Purchase Period then in effect will be accelerated to the date designated by the Committee, and all accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase Shares in accordance with Section 7. Furthermore, the Plan may not, without the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a duly held shareholders meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding common shares is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the Plan, be amended in any manner that will increase the number of shares subject to the Plan or change the class of employees eligible to receive options under the Plan.

13. Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Trust from the sale of Shares pursuant to options will be used for general corporate purposes.

14. Miscellaneous.

14.1 Provisions of Plan Binding . The provisions of the Plan shall, in accordance with its terms, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors of each employee participating in the Plan, including, without limitation, such employee’s estate and the executors, administrator or trustees thereof, heirs and legatees, and any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or representative of creditors of such employee.

14.2 Employment . The right to participate in this Plan shall not constitute an offer of employment and no election to participate in this Plan shall constitute an employment agreement between an employee and a Participating Employer. Any such right or election shall have no bearing whatsoever on the employment relationship between an employee and any other person. A Participating Employer shall have the absolute right, in its discretion, to terminate an employee’s employment, whether or not such termination may result in a partial or total termination of his or her option under this Plan. Finally, no employee shall be induced to participate in this Plan, or shall participate in this Plan, with the expectation that such participation will lead to continued employment.

14.3 Shareholder Approval . This Plan shall be submitted for the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a duly held shareholders meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding common shares is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the Plan. Prior to approval of this Plan by the Trust’s common shareholders, no common shares may be issued under this Plan. The Committee shall have the authority hereunder to change the Purchase Periods and the respective Exercise Dates related thereto if necessary to carry out the intent of the prior sentence.

14.4 Applicable Law . Pennsylvania law shall govern all matters relating to this Plan except to the extent it is superseded by federal law.
