of their position with the company if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding related to a third-party action, the indemnified party had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1 of Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification of
directors and officers against third-party actions in such circumstances. Section&nbsp;2 of Article&nbsp;VII
of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides for mandatory
indemnification for any director or officer made party to any derivative suit if he acted in good

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
Registrant; provided, however, no indemnification against expenses will be made where the person
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
to the Registrant unless and to the extent that the applicable Court of Common Pleas shall
determine such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. Under Section&nbsp;3 of Article
VII, an independent determination of
disinterested directors, legal counsel or shareholders of the Registrant will determine whether the
person is entitled to indemnification under Sections&nbsp;1 and 2, unless indemnification is ordered by
a court. In addition, Section&nbsp;5 of Article&nbsp;VII of the Bylaws provides for advancement of expenses
in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of the person who may be entitled to indemnification under Sections&nbsp;1,
2 and 4 of Article&nbsp;VII, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law also permits a corporation to include in its bylaws,
and in agreements between the corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the
scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law; provided, however, indemnification shall not be permitted in any case where the act giving
rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness. Section&nbsp;4 of Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws generally provides
for mandatory indemnification of officers and directors acting on behalf of the Registrant, except
that indemnification shall not be permitted in any case where the act giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Indemnification under Section&nbsp;4 of Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws will be provided without
the independent determination or court order required by Section&nbsp;3 as described above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant also has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of the executive
officers and directors of the Registrant. The Indemnification Agreements provide the same scope of
indemnification as provided under the Bylaws. The Indemnification Agreements are direct contractual
obligations of the Registrant in favor of the directors and officers. Therefore, in the event that
the Bylaws are subsequently changed to reduce the scope of indemnification, executive officers and
directors with Indemnification Agreements will not be affected by such changes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant maintains directors and officers insurance under which its
directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities that may be incurred by them in
their capacities as such.

4.
The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed on July 5, 2000 describing the

updating such description.
All documents and reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment hereto which indicates
that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then

from the date of filing of such documents or reports. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified shall not be
deemed to constitute a part of the Registration Statement except as so modified and any statement
so superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan
was passed upon by Brian E. Morrissey, Esq., Corporate Counsel, of the Registrant. As of July 8,
2009, Mr. Morrissey beneficially owns, or has the right to acquire under any employee benefit plan
of the Registrant, an aggregate of 1,900 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law generally provides that a company shall have the
power to indemnify its officers, directors and others against liability incurred by them by reason
of their position with the company if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding related to a third-party action, the indemnified party had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 1 of Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification of
directors and officers against third-party actions in such circumstances. Section 2 of Article VII
of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory
indemnification for any director or officer made party to any derivative suit if he acted in good
faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
Registrant; provided, however, no indemnification against expenses will be made where the person
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
to the Registrant unless and to the extent that the applicable Court of Common Pleas shall
determine such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. Under Section 3 of Article
VII, an independent determination of
disinterested directors, legal counsel or shareholders of the Registrant will determine whether the
person is entitled to indemnification under Sections 1 and 2, unless indemnification is ordered by
a court. In addition, Section 5 of Article VII of the Bylaws provides for advancement of expenses
in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of the person who may be entitled to indemnification under Sections 1,
2 and 4 of Article VII, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law also permits a corporation to include in its bylaws,
and in agreements between the corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the
scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law; provided, however, indemnification shall not be permitted in any case where the act giving
rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness. Section 4 of Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws generally provides
for mandatory indemnification of officers and directors acting on behalf of the Registrant, except
that indemnification shall not be permitted in any case where the act giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Indemnification under Section 4 of Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws will be provided without
the independent determination or court order required by Section 3 as described above.
The Registrant also has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of the executive
officers and directors of the Registrant. The Indemnification Agreements provide the same scope of
indemnification as provided under the Bylaws. The Indemnification Agreements are direct contractual
obligations of the Registrant in favor of the directors and officers. Therefore, in the event that
the Bylaws are subsequently changed to reduce the scope of indemnification, executive officers and
directors with Indemnification Agreements will not be affected by such changes.
In addition, the Registrant maintains directors and officers insurance under which its
directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities that may be incurred by them in
their capacities as such.
