representatives (including directors and officers) against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that they incur in such capacities, provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the reasonable belief that the
particular action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, in a criminal proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In general, this power to indemnify does not exist in the case of
actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable to the corporation. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in
defending actions to which they are made a party by reason of their status as directors or officers if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1746 of the BCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any provision in the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided 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. Article&nbsp;11 of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-Laws</FONT> provides for the
indemnification of directors and officers against expenses and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any director or officer who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to any claim, action, suit or proceeding by reason of such
person being or having been a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation or entity, will be entitled to indemnification. The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-Laws</FONT> further provide that such indemnification is not exclusive of any other
rights to which such individual may be entitled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;12 of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that no
director or officer of the Corporation will be liable by reason of having been a director or officer of the Company if the person performs his or her duties in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company. This standard will be satisfied if the person acted without self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than 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 actions, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the common stock offered hereby has been passed upon by Matthew C. Tomb, Esq., our Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer
and General Counsel. Mr. Tomb is eligible to participate in the Plan and receive shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions as other participants holding similar positions with the Company.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 1741 to 1743 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "BCL") provide that a corporation may indemnify its
representatives (including directors and officers) against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that they incur in such capacities, provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the reasonable belief that the
particular action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, in a criminal proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In general, this power to indemnify does not exist in the case of
actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable to the corporation. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in
defending actions to which they are made a party by reason of their status as directors or officers if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions.
Section 1746 of the BCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided 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. Article 11 of the Company's Amended and Restated
By-Laws
provides for the
indemnification of directors and officers against expenses and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any director or officer who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to any claim, action, suit or proceeding by reason of such
person being or having been a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation or entity, will be entitled to indemnification. The Company's Amended and Restated
By-Laws
further provide that such indemnification is not exclusive of any other
rights to which such individual may be entitled.
Article 12 of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that no
director or officer of the Corporation will be liable by reason of having been a director or officer of the Company if the person performs his or her duties in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company. This standard will be satisfied if the person acted without self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.
The Company has
obtained and maintains insurance policies covering its officers and directors and indemnifying them against loss on account of certain claims made against them, within the limits and subject to the limitations of such policies.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
Reference is made to the information contained in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this registration statement.
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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(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) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form
S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed or furnished by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(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 Securities Act of 1933, each filing of registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than 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 actions, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
