incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if
he or she has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in
the Registrant&#146;s best interest, or in the case of a criminal proceeding that he
or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such
indemnification as to expenses is mandatory to the extent the individual is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the matter or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein.&#160; The
Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide, however, in the case of an action or suit by or in
the right of the Registrant, that the Registrant will not indemnify a director
or officer with respect to a matter in which such person has been adjudged to
be liable in the performance of his or her duties to the Registrant, unless a
court of common pleas determines that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification.&#160; The
Registrant&#146;s bylaws also provide that the Registrant may advance expenses to
any director or officer upon the Registrant&#146;s receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay those amounts if it is finally determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification.</font></p>

policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all

Item 4.
Description
of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
2
Barry M. Abelson, a partner in
Pepper Hamilton LLP, has been a director of the Registrant since 2000.  Mr. Abelson beneficially owns 24,000 shares
of the Registrant's common stock, including options to purchase 23,000 shares
of common stock.  Pepper Hamilton LLP has
given an opinion to the Registrant concerning the validity of the securities
being registered on this Registration Statement.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and the
Registrant's amended and restated bylaws limit the monetary liability of the
Registrant's directors to the Registrant and to the Registrant's shareholders
and provide for indemnification of its officers and directors for liabilities
and expenses that they may incur in such capacities.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that it may indemnify
its directors and officers for monetary damages for any action taken or failure
to take any action, unless:
·
such
director or officer has breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her
office under Pennsylvania law; and
·
the breach
or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness.
In addition, the Registrant's bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers for expenses, attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if
he or she has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in
the Registrant's best interest, or in the case of a criminal proceeding that he
or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such
indemnification as to expenses is mandatory to the extent the individual is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the matter or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein.  The
Registrant's bylaws provide, however, in the case of an action or suit by or in
the right of the Registrant, that the Registrant will not indemnify a director
or officer with respect to a matter in which such person has been adjudged to
be liable in the performance of his or her duties to the Registrant, unless a
court of common pleas determines that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification.  The
Registrant's bylaws also provide that the Registrant may advance expenses to
any director or officer upon the Registrant's receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay those amounts if it is finally determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant maintains directors and officers
liability insurance to provide directors and officers with insurance coverage
for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, error,
and other wrongful acts, and will maintain a policy to provide for losses
arising from violations of the Securities Acts.
The Registrant has also entered into an
indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executive officers
providing for the indemnification described above.

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 Securities and Exchange
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.
(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 by the Registrant
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 that 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 the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
4
(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 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
