the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the &#147;PBCL&#148;), contains provisions relating to the indemnification of persons by a Pennsylvania business corporation, including directors and officers of the corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 1741 and 1742 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities and expenses

faith and in a manner he or she 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 or her conduct was unlawful. In general, a business corporation&#146;s power to indemnify under these sections does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person
otherwise entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for specified expenses. Section&nbsp;1743 of the PBCL provides that a business corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending
actions against them in such capacities to the extent 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;1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Section&nbsp;1741 or 1742 shall be made by a business
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a director or officer is proper because the director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct, and such determination must be made: (i)&nbsp;by
the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors not parties to the action or proceeding; (ii)&nbsp;if a quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and a majority of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel;
or (iii)&nbsp;by the shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1745 provides that expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any action or
proceeding referred to in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL may be paid by a business corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. </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 PBCL grants a business corporation broad authority to indemnify its directors and officers for liabilities and
expenses incurred in such capacity, except in circumstances 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1747 of the PBCL permits a business corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of
the PBCL. The Registrant currently maintains directors and officers liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1748 applies the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions contained in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL to
constituent and successor corporations absorbed in or resulting from consolidation, merger or division. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1750 provides that
the indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL will, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the corporation and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of that person. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;7.1 of the Registrant&#146;s By-Laws
contains provisions requiring the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless present and former directors and officers to the fullest extent and manner authorized or permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Where the laws have been
amended, such amendment will be applicable only to the extent it allows the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights than the law allowed the Registrant to provide prior to the amendment. The Registrant can decline to indemnify, however,
if indemnification would not be proper because grounds exist for denying it under the Registrant&#146;s By-Laws or applicable law. </P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of
the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the "PBCL"), contains provisions relating to the indemnification of persons by a Pennsylvania business corporation, including directors and officers of the corporation.
Sections 1741 and 1742 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities and expenses
they may incur as such provided that the particular person acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she 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 or her conduct was unlawful. In general, a business corporation's power to indemnify under these sections does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person
otherwise entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for specified expenses. Section 1743 of the PBCL provides that a business corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending
actions against them in such capacities to the extent they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions.
Section 1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Section 1741 or 1742 shall be made by a business
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a director or officer is proper because the director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct, and such determination must be made: (i) by
the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors not parties to the action or proceeding; (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and a majority of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel;
or (iii) by the shareholders.
Section 1745 provides that expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any action or
proceeding referred to in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL may be paid by a business corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Section 1746 of the PBCL grants a business corporation broad authority to indemnify its directors and officers for liabilities and
expenses incurred in such capacity, except in circumstances 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.
Section 1747 of the PBCL permits a business corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of
the PBCL. The Registrant currently maintains directors and officers liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
Section 1748 applies the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions contained in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL to
constituent and successor corporations absorbed in or resulting from consolidation, merger or division.
Section 1750 provides that
the indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL will, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the corporation and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of that person.
Section 7.1 of the Registrant's By-Laws
contains provisions requiring the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless present and former directors and officers to the fullest extent and manner authorized or permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Where the laws have been
amended, such amendment will be applicable only to the extent it allows the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights than the law allowed the Registrant to provide prior to the amendment. The Registrant can decline to indemnify, however,
if indemnification would not be proper because grounds exist for denying it under the Registrant's By-Laws or applicable law.
