WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Penns Xxxxx and Executive are parties to an amended and restated employment agreement, dated March 9, 2021, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement, dated July 15, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement”), and an Amendment No. 2 to Employment Agreement, dated December 12, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2 to Employment Agreement”)(as so amended, the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Penns Xxxxx and Executive desire to further amend the Employment Agreement as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Section 4(a) of Employment Agreement. Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(a)  Salary. Executive shall be paid a base salary at the rate of $850,000 per year, annualized commencing with the first pay period for June 2024, payable at such times as salaries are paid to other executive officers of Penns Xxxxx. The Board of Directors of Penns Xxxxx shall review Executive’s base salary annually and may, from time to time, in its discretion increase Executive’s base salary. Any and all such increases in base salary shall be deemed to constitute amendments to this subsection to reflect the increased amounts, effective as of the dates established for such increases by appropriate corporate action.”

2. Amendment to Section 4(b) of Employment Agreement. Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(b)  Discretionary Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to participate in an equitable manner with other senior management employees of Penns Xxxxx in such annual or other periodic bonus programs (if any) as may be maintained from time to time by Penns Xxxxx for its executive officers; provided, however, that Executive’s bonus under such programs (if any) shall in no event exceed $325,000 in cash for any calendar year. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Penns Wood Board, (i) up to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of any discretionary bonus payable to Executive with respect to any year may be paid in Penns Xxxxx common stock issued under the Penns Xxxxx 2020 Equity Incentive Plan in lieu of cash and (ii), with respect to any year in which a portion of the discretionary bonus is payable in Penns Xxxxx common stock, any portion of the remaining bonus amount otherwise payable in cash for such year (up to 100% of the aggregate bonus amount payable for such year) may be payable in the form of Penns Xxxxx common stock with the consent of Executive. The aggregate number of shares of Penns Xxxxx common stock issuable with respect to any year shall be subject to any limitations on the total number of shares that may be issued to any individual under any plan, program, or policy of Penns Xxxxx then in effect. Any shares of Penns Xxxxx common stock issued to Executive under this Section shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer as are applicable shares issued under the 2020 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan; provided, however, that (i) when Executive attains age 71 no more than a one (1) year transfer restriction shall apply to any such shares and (ii) when Executive attains age 72, all transfer restrictions then applicable to any such shares shall lapse.

6. Waiver. No provision of this Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such waiver, modification, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and the Employer.
