         Section 301.1.1.  Personal Liability of Directors.

                  (a) A director of this Corporation shall not be personally
liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take
any action, unless:

                      (1) the director has breached or failed to perform the
duties of his office under Subchapter B of Chapter 17 of the Pennsylvania
Business Corporation of 1988 (which, as amended from time to time, is hereafter
called the "Business Corporation Law"); and

                      (2) the breach or failure to perform constitutes
self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.

                  (b) This Section 301.1.1 shall not limit a director's
liability for monetary damages to the extent prohibited by the Business
Corporation Law.

         Section 301.1.2. Mandatory Indemnification. The Corporation shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify its directors and
officers who were or are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not such action, suit or
proceeding arises or arose by or in the right of the Corporation or other
entity) by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director
or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, general partner, agent or
fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against
expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs), judgments,
fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee
benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
such director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
except as otherwise provided in Section 301.1.4 hereof. Persons who were
members, directors or officers of the Corporation prior to the date this Section
is approved by shareholders of the Corporation, but who do not hold such office
on or after such date, shall not be covered by this Section 301.1. A director or
officer of the Corporation entitled to indemnification under this Section
301.1.2 is hereafter called a "person covered by Section 301.1.2 hereof".

         Section 301.1.3. Expenses. Expenses incurred by a person covered by
Section 301.1.2 hereof in defending a threatened, pending or completed civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit 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 such person is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation, except as otherwise provided in Section 301.1.4.

         Section 301.1.4. Exceptions. No indemnification under Section 301.1.2
or advancement or reimbursement of expenses under Section 301.1.3 shall be
provided to a person covered by Section 301.1.2 hereof (a) with respect to
expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase or sale of
securities of the Corporation in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; (b) if a final unappealable judgment or award establishes
that such director or officer engaged in self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness; (c) for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) which have
been paid directly to such person by an insurance carrier under a policy of
officers' and directors' liability insurance whose premiums are paid for by the
Corporation or by an individual or entity other than such director or officer;
and (d) for amounts paid in settlement of any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding without the written consent of the Corporation, which
written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Board of Directors of
the Corporation is hereby authorized, at any time by resolution, to add to the
above list of exceptions from the right of indemnification under Section 301.1.2
or advancement or reimbursement of expenses under Section 301.1.3, but any such
additional exception shall not apply with respect to any event, act or omission
which has occurred prior to the date that the Board of Directors in fact adopts
such resolution. Any such additional exception may, at any time after its
adoption, be amended, supplemented, waived or terminated by further resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         Section 301.1.5. Continuation of Rights. The indemnification and
advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Section 301.1 shall 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,
executors and administrators of such person.

         Section 301.1.6.  General Provisions.

                  (a) The term "to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law", as used in this Section 301.1, shall mean the maximum extent permitted by
public policy, common law or statute. Any person covered by Section 301.1.2
hereof may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, elect to have the
right to indemnification or to advancement or reimbursement of expenses,
interpreted, at such person's option, (i) on the basis of the applicable law on
the date this Section was approved by the shareholders, or (ii) on the basis of
the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or
events giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) on the basis of
the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought.

                  (b) The right of a person covered by Section 301.1.2 hereof to
be indemnified or to receive an advancement or reimbursement of expenses
pursuant to Section 301.1.3 (i) may also be enforced as a contract right
pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the
provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the
Corporation and such person, (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events
occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to exist after
the rescission or restrictive modification (as determined by such person) of
this Section with respect to events, acts or omissions occurring before such
rescission or restrictive modification is adopted.

                  (c) If a request for indemnification or for the advancement or
reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Corporation
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation
together with all supporting information reasonably requested by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim (plus interest at the
prime rate announced from time to time by the Corporation's primary banker) and,
if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled also to be
paid the expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs) of
prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made
a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
or the advancement or reimbursement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the
claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

                  (d) The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 301.1 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement or reimbursement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in
such director or officer's official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding that office.

                  (e) Nothing contained in this Section 301.1 shall be construed
to limit the rights and powers the Corporation possesses under the Business
Corporation Law, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the powers to
purchase and maintain insurance, create funds to secure or insure its
indemnification obligations, and any other rights or powers the Corporation may
otherwise have under applicable law.

                  (f) The provisions of this Section 301.1 may, at any time (and
whether before or after there is any basis for a claim for indemnification or
for the advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto), be amended,
supplemented, waived, or terminated, in whole or in part, with respect to any
person covered by Section 301.1.2 hereof by a written agreement signed by the
Corporation and such person.

                  (g) The Corporation shall have the right to appoint the
attorney for a person covered by Section 301.1.2 hereof, provided such
appointment is not unreasonable under the circumstances.

         Section 301.1.7. Optional Indemnification. The Corporation may, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, and advance or reimburse
expenses for, persons in all situations other than that covered by this Section
301.1.
