Section 1741 of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (the "BCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who

- 2 -
3
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or proceeding (a "Proceeding"), whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation or
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such Proceeding, if he or she 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. Section 1742
of the BCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a representative of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he or she 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, provided that
indemnification shall not be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
there is a judicial determination that 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.

Section 1743 of the BCL provides that to the extent a representative of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Section 1745 of the BCL provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in defending a Proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the representative to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Section 1746 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections 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.
However, Section 1746 also provides that such indemnification shall not 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.

The Company provides for indemnification of its directors and officers
pursuant to Article ELEVENTH of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Company and Article XVII of the By-laws of the Company. Article ELEVENTH of the
Restated Articles and Article XVII of the By-laws provide in effect that, with
respect to Proceedings based on acts or omissions on or after January 27, 1987,
and unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify directors
and officers against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any such Proceedings
(subject to certain limitations in the case of actions by such persons against
the Company). Under Article XVII, the Company shall also advance amounts to any
director or officer during the pendency of any such Proceedings against expenses
incurred, provided that, if required by law, the Company receives an undertaking
to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not to
be indemnified under such Article. The indemnification provided for in such
Articles is in addition to any rights to which any director or officer may
otherwise be entitled. Article XVII of the By-laws provides that the right of a
director or officer to such

- 3 -
4
indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be a contract right and
further provides procedures for the enforcement of such right.

The Company has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies indemnifying its officers and directors and the officers and directors
of its subsidiaries against claims and liabilities (with stated exceptions) to
which they may become subject by reason of their positions with the Company or
its subsidiaries as directors and officers.
