indemnified by the corporation against reasonable expense and any liability paid or incurred by such person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other,
whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which he or she may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or by reason of the fact that
such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity (such claim, action,
suit or proceeding hereinafter being referred to as &#147;action&#148;).&nbsp;Such indemnification shall include the right to have expenses incurred by such person in connection with an action paid in advance by the corporation prior to final
disposition of such action, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by law.&nbsp;Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the corporation or to another such entity at
the request of the corporation to the extent the board of directors at any time denominates such person as entitled to the benefits of this Section&nbsp;7.01.&nbsp;As used herein, &#147;expense&#148; shall include fees and expenses of counsel

Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities offered hereby
has been passed upon by Frederick C. Paine, Esq., Senior Counsel of PPL Services Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company. Mr. Paine: (1) is a full-time employee of PPL Services Corporation; (2) owns, or has the right to acquire a
number of shares of the Company's common stock which represents less than 1% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company; and (3) participates in the Incentive Compensation Plan for Key Employees.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 7.01 of the By-Laws of the
Company reads as follows:
Section 7.01.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
(a)
Right to Indemnification
.—Except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of the corporation shall be entitled as of right to be
indemnified by the corporation against reasonable expense and any liability paid or incurred by such person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other,
whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which he or she may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or by reason of the fact that
such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity (such claim, action,
suit or proceeding hereinafter being referred to as "action"). Such indemnification shall include the right to have expenses incurred by such person in connection with an action paid in advance by the corporation prior to final
disposition of such action, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by law. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the corporation or to another such entity at
the request of the corporation to the extent the board of directors at any time denominates such person as entitled to the benefits of this Section 7.01. As used herein, "expense" shall include fees and expenses of counsel
selected by such person; and "liability" shall include amounts of judgments, excise taxes, fines and penalties, and amounts paid in settlement.
(b)
Right of Claimant to Bring Suit
.—If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 7.01 is not paid in full by the corporation within
thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall
also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that the conduct of the claimant was such that under Pennsylvania law the corporation would be prohibited from indemnifying the claimant
for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel and its shareholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the conduct of the claimant was not such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, nor an actual determination by the
corporation (including its board of
directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law.
(c)
Insurance and Funding
.—The
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any person eligible to be indemnified hereunder against any liability or expense asserted or incurred by such person in connection with any action, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under the provisions of this Section 7.01. The corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, cause a letter of credit to be issued
or use other means (whether or not similar to the foregoing) to ensure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.
(d)
Non-Exclusivity; Nature and Extent of Rights
.—The right of indemnification provided for herein (1) shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights, whether now existing or hereafter created, to which those seeking indemnification hereunder may be entitled under any agreement, bylaw or charter provision, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, (2) shall be deemed to
create contractual rights in favor of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, (3) shall continue as to persons who have ceased to have the status pursuant to which they were entitled or were denominated as entitled to indemnification
hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder and (4) shall be applicable to actions, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising
from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof. The right of indemnification provided for herein may not be amended, modified or repealed so as to limit in any way the indemnification provided for herein with respect to
any acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of any such amendment, modification or repeal.
Directors and officers of the
Company may also be indemnified in certain circumstances pursuant to the statutory provisions of general application contained in Pennsylvania law.
