<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;1741 through 1750 of Subchapter D, Chapter&nbsp;17, of the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law of 1988 (the &#147;BCL&#148;) contain provisions for mandatory and discretionary

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;1741, subject to certain limitations, a corporation has the power to indemnify

investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director, officer, employee

to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1742 provides for indemnification in derivative actions except in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the proper court determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;1743, indemnification is mandatory to the extent that the director, officer,
employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or
proceeding under Section&nbsp;1741 or Section&nbsp;1742 if the appropriate standards of conduct are met.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Section&nbsp;1741
or 1742 shall be made by the corporation as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that the representative met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in those sections and such
determination shall be made: (i)&nbsp;by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of
directors not parties to the action or proceeding; (ii)&nbsp;if a quorum is not obtainable and a
majority of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel; or (iii)&nbsp;by the
shareholders.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1745 provides that expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) incurred by an officer,
director, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1746 provides generally that, except in any case where the act or failure to act
giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by the court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by Subchapter
17D of the BCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding that office. Section&nbsp;1746 also provides that a
corporation may create a fund of any nature which may, but need not be, under the control of a
trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1747 grants a corporation the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any director or officer against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as officer or
director, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that
liability under Subchapter 17D of the BCL. Sections&nbsp;1748 and 1749 extend the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provisions contained in Subchapter 17D of the BCL to successor corporations
in fundamental changes and to representatives serving as fiduciaries of employee benefit plans.

the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

.
Certain legal matters in connection with the shares of Common Stock being registered hereby

Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Sections 1741 through 1750 of Subchapter D, Chapter 17, of the Pennsylvania Business
Corporation Law of 1988 (the "BCL") contain provisions for mandatory and discretionary
indemnification of a corporation's directors, officers and other personnel and related matters.
Under Section 1741, subject to certain limitations, a corporation has the power to indemnify
directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with an action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
2
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 1742 provides for indemnification in derivative actions except in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the proper court determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper.
Under Section 1743, indemnification is mandatory to the extent that the director, officer,
employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or
proceeding under Section 1741 or Section 1742 if the appropriate standards of conduct are met.
Section 1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Section 1741
or 1742 shall be made by the corporation as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that the representative met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in those sections and such
determination shall be made: (i) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of
directors not parties to the action or proceeding; (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable and a
majority of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel; or (iii) by the
shareholders.
Section 1745 provides that expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by an officer,
director, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Section 1746 provides generally that, except in any case where the act or failure to act
giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by the court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by Subchapter
17D of the BCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding that office. Section 1746 also provides that a
corporation may create a fund of any nature which may, but need not be, under the control of a
trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations.
Section 1747 grants a corporation the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any director or officer against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as officer or
director, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that
liability under Subchapter 17D of the BCL. Sections 1748 and 1749 extend the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provisions contained in Subchapter 17D of the BCL to successor corporations
in fundamental changes and to representatives serving as fiduciaries of employee benefit plans.
Section 1750 provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, Subchapter 17D of the BCL shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such person.
Section 5.05 of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company will indemnify current and
previous directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The Board may also indemnify other persons.
3
Section 5.07 of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company may maintain insurance to
protect itself and any director or officer of the Company. The Company has purchased liability
insurance for its directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
1. The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(a) 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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement.
(iii)
To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) will 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
4
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) 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.
2. The undersigned Company hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this 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.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions,
or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in Southampton, Pennsylvania, on the 4
