Corporation Law (the &#147;BCL&#148;) provide that a business corporation shall have the power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right
of the corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the
extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the
expenses that the court deems proper.

that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made:

officer, employee or agent of a business corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BCL Section&nbsp;1745 provides that expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an officer,
director, employee or agent of a business corporation in defending any proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. BCL Section&nbsp;1746 provides that the indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the foregoing provisions is not
exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, and that indemnification may be granted under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise for any action taken
or any failure to take any action whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
the person under any other provision of law and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or
arose from any action by or in the right of the corporation, provided, however, that no
indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim
for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BCL Section&nbsp;1747 permits a Pennsylvania business corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability
under the provisions described above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1750 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the subchapter governing indemnification shall, unless otherwise
provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and

Incorporation (the &#147;Indemnification Article&#148;) provides that, except as prohibited by law, every
director and officer of the Company is entitled as of right to be indemnified by the Company
against expenses 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 Company or otherwise, by reason of such person
being or having been a director or officer of the Company or of a subsidiary or serving or having
served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other entity; provided, that there exists no right of indemnification with respect to an action
initiated by a director or officer against the Company other than an action for indemnification
against the Company. The Indemnification Article does not apply to any action filed prior to
January&nbsp;27, 1987.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indemnification Article further provides that every indemnitee shall be entitled as of
right to have his or her expenses in defending any action or proceeding, or in initiating and
pursuing any action or proceeding against the Company for indemnification or advancement of
expenses, paid in advance by the Company prior to final disposition of any such action or
proceeding, provided that the Company receives a written undertaking by the indemnitee to repay the
amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified for such expenses.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a written claim for indemnification or for advancement of expenses is not paid within
thirty days after it is received by the Company, the director or officer submitting the claim may

determination by the Company that the indemnitee&#146;s conduct was such that indemnification would be
prohibited by law will be a defense to such suit or create a presumption that the conduct of the
indemnitee was such that the indemnification would be prohibited by law.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indemnification Article further provides that the right to indemnification and the
advancement of expenses shall be treated as contractual rights of persons entitled to
indemnification and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification which a
person seeking indemnity may have under any agreement, bylaw or charter provision, vote of
stockholders or directors or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indemnification Article provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance to
protect itself and any person entitled to indemnification against any liability or expense asserted
against or incurred by such person, whether or not the Company would be permitted to indemnify
against such liability or expense by law or under the Indemnification Article. Future changes in
Pennsylvania law expanding or contracting the scope of permissible indemnification would
automatically expand or contract the scope of indemnification authorized by the Indemnification
Article. However, any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Article would not limit the
rights of directors or officers to be indemnified with respect to acts or omissions which occurred
prior to the change.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s former bylaw providing for indemnification applies to all actions, suits or
proceedings commenced against directors or officers prior to January&nbsp;27, 1987 and to the extent the
BCL does not permit the Indemnification Article to apply to the same, to any breach of performance
of duty or any failure of performance of duty by any director or officer which occurred prior to
January&nbsp;27, 1987. It provides for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the BCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by BCL Section&nbsp;1713, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company also
provide that, to the fullest extent the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in effect on
January&nbsp;27, 1987 or as thereafter amended, permit elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, no director of the Company will be personally liable for monetary damages for any action
taken, or failure to take any action, as a director. The BCL states that this exculpation from
liability does not apply to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal
statute or the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local
law. Under the BCL, a director may be so protected from personal liability for such action or
inaction unless (a)&nbsp;the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office in good
faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company and with such
care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence as a person of ordinary prudence would use
under similar circumstances, and (b)&nbsp;the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing,
willful misconduct or recklessness. In carrying out the duties referred to in clause (a)&nbsp;of the
preceding sentence, a director is entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports
and statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared by
one or more officers or employees of the Company whom the director reasonably believes to be
reliable and competent in such matters, counsel, public accountants and other persons as to matters
which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such
person or a committee of the Board upon which the director does not serve, duly designated in
accordance with law, as to matters within such committee&#146;s designated authority, if the director
reasonably believes the committee merits confidence. A director is not considered to be acting in
good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question which would render his reliance to
be unwarranted. The amendments concerning personal liability for monetary damages do not apply to
any action filed prior to January&nbsp;27, 1987 nor to any breach of performance or failure of
performance of duty occurring prior to January&nbsp;27, 1987.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance. Such insurance covers its
directors and officers with respect to liability which they may incur in connection with their
serving as such, which liability could include liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Under this type of insurance, the Company would receive reimbursement for amounts as to
which the directors and officers would be indemnified under the Indemnification Article. The
insurance would also provide certain additional coverage for the directors and officers against
certain liability even though such liability would not be subject to indemnification under the
Indemnification Article.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may from time to time enter into indemnification and insurance agreements with
present and future directors and such other officers, employees and agents of the Company and its
subsidiaries as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Each
indemnification and insurance agreement will only apply to actions commenced after the date of any
such agreement; such actions may, however, arise from acts or omissions occurring before the date
of such agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The form of indemnification and insurance agreement provides essentially the same rights to
indemnification against expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and partial indemnification
as are provided in the Indemnification Article, except that a contractee has the additional right
to cause judgment to be confessed against the Company if expenses are not advanced by the Company
within 30&nbsp;days after a written request by the contractee. In addition, such agreement provides that
expenses may be advanced to a contractee before payment is reasonably expected to be made to the
contractee under an insurance policy or a security arrangement established by the Company subject
to an undertaking by the contractee to reimburse the Company for the amount advanced upon receipt
of such amount by the contractee pursuant to the insurance policy or security arrangement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, the form of indemnification and insurance agreement provides that if the full
indemnification claimed by the contractee may not be paid by the Company to the contractee because
such indemnification is prohibited under Pennsylvania law and the Company has been found to be
jointly liable with the contractee as to the matter of which indemnification was sought (or would
be so liable if the Company were joined in such matter), the contractee has a right to contribution
from the Company for the amount of any expenses or liability incurred by the contractee as to such
matter based on the relative benefits received by the Company and the contractee from the
transaction from which the liability arose and the relative fault of the Company (including the
Company&#146;s other directors, officers, employees or agents) and the contractee in connection with the
events which resulted in such expenses or liability, as well as other relevant equitable
considerations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Separately, the form of indemnification and insurance agreement, while not requiring the
Company to maintain the director and officer liability insurance in effect at the time the
agreement is entered into with a contractee, provides that if such insurance is not maintained, the
Company will in effect become a self-insurer by providing the same insurance benefits that would
have been provided had the insurance been continued. Since the Company may purchase insurance
against certain types of liabilities, such as liabilities under the Federal securities laws, for
which the Company might not be able to provide indemnification, this contract right may have the
effect of providing broader payment rights than would be available under the Indemnification
Article should the Company fail to maintain its director and officer liability insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the form of indemnification and insurance agreement, a contractee is entitled to the
rights to indemnification for expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and liability,
contribution and payment for failure to maintain insurance provided by such agreement
notwithstanding any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Article. In addition, although a
change in Pennsylvania law restricting indemnification rights would automatically restrict the
indemnification rights provided under the Indemnification Article, the form of indemnification and
insurance agreement provides that a change in law restricting indemnification rights will not
affect the indemnification rights of a contractee unless the law so requires.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law
. Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law (the "BCL") provide that a business corporation shall have the power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right
of the corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the
extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the
expenses that the court deems proper.
BCL Section 1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification referred to
above shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made:
(1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the proceeding; or
(2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or if obtainable and a majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion; or
(3) by the shareholders.
II-2
Notwithstanding the above, BCL Section 1743 provides that to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of a business corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
BCL Section 1745 provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer,
director, employee or agent of a business corporation in defending any proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. BCL Section 1746 provides that the indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the foregoing provisions is not
exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, and that indemnification may be granted under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise for any action taken
or any failure to take any action whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
the person under any other provision of law and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or
arose from any action by or in the right of the corporation, provided, however, that no
indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim
for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness.
BCL Section 1747 permits a Pennsylvania business corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability
under the provisions described above.
Section 1750 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the subchapter governing indemnification shall, unless otherwise
provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and
personal representatives of such director, officer, employee or agent.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation
. Article VI, Section 2 of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Indemnification Article") provides that, except as prohibited by law, every
director and officer of the Company is entitled as of right to be indemnified by the Company
against expenses 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 Company or otherwise, by reason of such person
being or having been a director or officer of the Company or of a subsidiary or serving or having
served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other entity; provided, that there exists no right of indemnification with respect to an action
initiated by a director or officer against the Company other than an action for indemnification
against the Company. The Indemnification Article does not apply to any action filed prior to
January 27, 1987.
The Indemnification Article further provides that every indemnitee shall be entitled as of
right to have his or her expenses in defending any action or proceeding, or in initiating and
pursuing any action or proceeding against the Company for indemnification or advancement of
expenses, paid in advance by the Company prior to final disposition of any such action or
proceeding, provided that the Company receives a written undertaking by the indemnitee to repay the
amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified for such expenses.
If a written claim for indemnification or for advancement of expenses is not paid within
thirty days after it is received by the Company, the director or officer submitting the claim may
bring suit against the Company to enforce payment of the claim and, if successful in whole or in
part, may also recover the expenses of the suit. While it will be a defense to any such suit that
the conduct of the director or officer was such that Pennsylvania law would prohibit
indemnification, the burden of proving this defense will be on the Company. Neither a failure by
the
II-3
Company to determine that indemnification is proper in the circumstances nor an actual
determination by the Company that the indemnitee's conduct was such that indemnification would be
prohibited by law will be a defense to such suit or create a presumption that the conduct of the
indemnitee was such that the indemnification would be prohibited by law.
The Indemnification Article further provides that the right to indemnification and the
advancement of expenses shall be treated as contractual rights of persons entitled to
indemnification and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification which a
person seeking indemnity may have under any agreement, bylaw or charter provision, vote of
stockholders or directors or otherwise.
The Indemnification Article provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance to
protect itself and any person entitled to indemnification against any liability or expense asserted
against or incurred by such person, whether or not the Company would be permitted to indemnify
against such liability or expense by law or under the Indemnification Article. Future changes in
Pennsylvania law expanding or contracting the scope of permissible indemnification would
automatically expand or contract the scope of indemnification authorized by the Indemnification
Article. However, any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Article would not limit the
rights of directors or officers to be indemnified with respect to acts or omissions which occurred
prior to the change.
The Company's former bylaw providing for indemnification applies to all actions, suits or
proceedings commenced against directors or officers prior to January 27, 1987 and to the extent the
BCL does not permit the Indemnification Article to apply to the same, to any breach of performance
of duty or any failure of performance of duty by any director or officer which occurred prior to
January 27, 1987. It provides for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the BCL.
As permitted by BCL Section 1713, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company also
provide that, to the fullest extent the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in effect on
January 27, 1987 or as thereafter amended, permit elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, no director of the Company will be personally liable for monetary damages for any action
taken, or failure to take any action, as a director. The BCL states that this exculpation from
liability does not apply to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal
statute or the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local
law. Under the BCL, a director may be so protected from personal liability for such action or
inaction unless (a) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office in good
faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company and with such
care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence as a person of ordinary prudence would use
under similar circumstances, and (b) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing,
willful misconduct or recklessness. In carrying out the duties referred to in clause (a) of the
preceding sentence, a director is entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports
and statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared by
one or more officers or employees of the Company whom the director reasonably believes to be
reliable and competent in such matters, counsel, public accountants and other persons as to matters
which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such
person or a committee of the Board upon which the director does not serve, duly designated in
accordance with law, as to matters within such committee's designated authority, if the director
reasonably believes the committee merits confidence. A director is not considered to be acting in
good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question which would render his reliance to
be unwarranted. The amendments concerning personal liability for monetary damages do not apply to
any action filed prior to January 27, 1987 nor to any breach of performance or failure of
performance of duty occurring prior to January 27, 1987.
The Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance. Such insurance covers its
directors and officers with respect to liability which they may incur in connection with their
serving as such, which liability could include liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Under this type of insurance, the Company would receive reimbursement for amounts as to
which the directors and officers would be indemnified under the Indemnification Article. The
insurance would also provide certain additional coverage for the directors and officers against
certain liability even though such liability would not be subject to indemnification under the
Indemnification Article.
II-4
The Company may from time to time enter into indemnification and insurance agreements with
present and future directors and such other officers, employees and agents of the Company and its
subsidiaries as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Each
indemnification and insurance agreement will only apply to actions commenced after the date of any
such agreement; such actions may, however, arise from acts or omissions occurring before the date
of such agreement.
The form of indemnification and insurance agreement provides essentially the same rights to
indemnification against expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and partial indemnification
as are provided in the Indemnification Article, except that a contractee has the additional right
to cause judgment to be confessed against the Company if expenses are not advanced by the Company
within 30 days after a written request by the contractee. In addition, such agreement provides that
expenses may be advanced to a contractee before payment is reasonably expected to be made to the
contractee under an insurance policy or a security arrangement established by the Company subject
to an undertaking by the contractee to reimburse the Company for the amount advanced upon receipt
of such amount by the contractee pursuant to the insurance policy or security arrangement.
Further, the form of indemnification and insurance agreement provides that if the full
indemnification claimed by the contractee may not be paid by the Company to the contractee because
such indemnification is prohibited under Pennsylvania law and the Company has been found to be
jointly liable with the contractee as to the matter of which indemnification was sought (or would
be so liable if the Company were joined in such matter), the contractee has a right to contribution
from the Company for the amount of any expenses or liability incurred by the contractee as to such
matter based on the relative benefits received by the Company and the contractee from the
transaction from which the liability arose and the relative fault of the Company (including the
Company's other directors, officers, employees or agents) and the contractee in connection with the
events which resulted in such expenses or liability, as well as other relevant equitable
considerations.
Separately, the form of indemnification and insurance agreement, while not requiring the
Company to maintain the director and officer liability insurance in effect at the time the
agreement is entered into with a contractee, provides that if such insurance is not maintained, the
Company will in effect become a self-insurer by providing the same insurance benefits that would
have been provided had the insurance been continued. Since the Company may purchase insurance
against certain types of liabilities, such as liabilities under the Federal securities laws, for
which the Company might not be able to provide indemnification, this contract right may have the
effect of providing broader payment rights than would be available under the Indemnification
Article should the Company fail to maintain its director and officer liability insurance.
Under the form of indemnification and insurance agreement, a contractee is entitled to the
rights to indemnification for expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and liability,
contribution and payment for failure to maintain insurance provided by such agreement
notwithstanding any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Article. In addition, although a
change in Pennsylvania law restricting indemnification rights would automatically restrict the
indemnification rights provided under the Indemnification Article, the form of indemnification and
insurance agreement provides that a change in law restricting indemnification rights will not
affect the indemnification rights of a contractee unless the law so requires.

filed herewith.
24.1 Power of Attorney, filed herewith as part of the signature pages.
The registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the Plan and any
amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and has made or will
make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement;
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(
b
)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
II-6
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
