modify  the  designation  at any  time by  filing  a new  designation.  However,
designations  will only be effective if signed by the  Executive and accepted by
the  Company  during  the  Executive's  lifetime.  The  Executive's  beneficiary
designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases
the  Executive,  or if the  Executive  names a  spouse  as  beneficiary  and the

                                        5

liability with respect to such benefit.

                    the  Corporation  or any of its  subsidiaries,  earnings  or
                    other  information  concerning the Corporation or any of its

                    subparagraph  (v)  apply to all  information  regarding  the
                    Corporation  or any of its  subsidiaries,  regardless of the

                    Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary,  all  information
                    referred to herein shall not be  disclosed  unless and until
                    it becomes  known to the general  public from sources  other
                    than the Executive.

               5.3.2 Judicial  Remedies.  In the event of a breach or threatened
          breach by the  Executive of any provision of these  restrictions,  the
          Executive  recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach
          or threatened  breach will impose upon the  Corporation  or any of its
          subsidiaries,  and  further  recognizes  that in such  event  monetary
          damages may be inadequate to fully protect the  Corporation  or any of
          its subsidiaries.  Accordingly, in the

                                       7
<PAGE>

          event  of a  breach  or  threatened  breach  of  this  Agreement,  the
          Executive  consents to the  Corporation's  or any of its  subsidiaries
          entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or
          permanent  injunctive,  or any other equitable relief,  protecting and
          fully  enforcing the  Corporation' or any of its  subsidiaries  rights
          hereunder and preventing  the Executive from further  breaching any of
          his obligations set forth herein.  The Executive  expressly waives any
          requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source,
          that  the  Corporation  or any of its  subsidiaries  post a bond  as a
          condition of obtaining any of the  above-described  remedies.  Nothing
          herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation or any of its
          subsidiaries  from  pursuing  any  other  remedies  available  to  the
          Corporation  or any of its  subsidiaries  at law or in equity for such
          breach or  threatened  breach,  including the recovery of damages from
          the Executive.  The Executive expressly  acknowledges and agrees that:
          (i) the  restrictions  set forth in Section 5.3.1 are  reasonable,  in
          terms of scope,  duration,  geographic  area, and otherwise,  (ii) the
          protections  afforded the  Corporation or any of its  subsidiaries  in
          Section  5.3.1  are  necessary  to  protect  its  legitimate  business
          interest,  (iii) the  restrictions set forth in Section 5.3.1 will not
          be materially adverse to the Executive's  employment with the Company,
          and (iv) his agreement to observe such  restrictions  forms a material
          part of the consideration for this Agreement.

               5.3.3 Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of
          the parties  that if any  restrictive  covenant in this  Agreement  is
          determined  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  to be overly broad,
          then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum
          extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

               5.3.4 The non-compete  provision  detailed in Section 5.3.1 shall
          not be enforceable following a Change of Control.

          5.4  Suicide  or  Misstatement.  No  benefits  shall be payable if the
     Executive  commits  suicide  within  two  years  after  the  date  of  this
     Agreement,  or if  the  insurance  company  denies  coverage  for  material
     misstatements  of fact made by the  Executive on any  application  for life
     insurance purchased by the Company, or any other reason; provided,  however
     that the Company shall evaluate the reason for the denial,  and upon advice
     of  legal  counsel  and  in  its  sole  discretion,   consider   judicially
     challenging any denial.

                          Claims and Review Procedures

          6.1 Claims  Procedure.  The Company  shall notify any person or entity
     that makes a claim  against  the  Agreement  (the  "Claimant")  in writing,
     within ninety (90) days of Claimant's written application for benefits,  of
     his or her eligibility or noneligibility  for benefits under the Agreement.
     If the Company determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or
     full benefits, the notice shall set forth (1) the specific reasons for such
     denial, (2) a specific


                                       8

     reference to the  provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based,
     (3) a description of any additional  information or material  necessary for
     the Claimant to perfect his or her claim,  and a  description  of why it is
     needed,  and (4) an explanation of the Agreement's  claims review procedure
     and  other  appropriate  information  as to the  steps  to be  taken if the
     Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.  If the Company determines that
     there  are  special  circumstances  requiring  additional  time  to  make a
     decision,   the  Company   shall   notify  the   Claimant  of  the  special
     circumstances  and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and
     may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

          6.2 Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Company not
     to be eligible for benefits,  or if the Claimant believes that he or she is
     entitled to greater or  different  benefits,  the  Claimant  shall have the
     opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition
     for review with the  Company  within  sixty (60) days after  receipt of the
     notice  issued by the  Company.  Said  petition  shall  state the  specific
     reasons  which the Claimant  believes  entitle him or her to benefits or to
     greater or different benefits.  Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the
     Company  of the  petition,  the  Company  shall  afford the  Claimant  (and
     counsel,  if any) an  opportunity  to present  his or her  position  to the
     Company orally or in writing,  and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the
     right to review the  pertinent  documents.  The  Company  shall  notify the
     Claimant of its decision in writing  within the sixty-day  period,  stating
     specifically the basis of its decision,  written in a manner  calculated to
     be understood by the Claimant and the specific  provisions of the Agreement
     on which the decision is based. If, because of the need for a hearing,  the
     sixty-day period is not sufficient,  the decision may be deferred for up to
     another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this
     deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

                           Amendments and Termination

          This  Agreement  may  be  amended  or  terminated  only  by a  written
     agreement signed by the Company and the Executive.


                                    Article 8
                                  Miscellaneous

          8.1 Binding  Effect.  This Agreement  shall bind the Executive and the
     Company,  and  their  beneficiaries,   survivors,  executors,   successors,
     administrators and transferees.

          8.2 No Guarantee of  Employment.  This  Agreement is not an employment
     policy or contract.  It does not give the  Executive the right to remain an
     employee of the Company,  nor does it interfere with the Company's right to
     discharge the  Executive.  It also does not require the Executive to remain
     an employee nor interfere with the Executive's right to terminate

                                       9

     employment at any time.

          8.3 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold,
     transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

          8.4 Tax  Withholding.  The Company  shall  withhold any taxes that are
     required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

          8.5 Applicable  Law. The Agreement and all rights  hereunder  shall be
     governed by the laws of the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  except to the
     extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

          8.6 Unfunded  Arrangement.  The Executive and  beneficiary are general
     unsecured  creditors of the Company for the payment of benefits  under this
     Agreement.  The benefits  represent  the mere promise by the Company to pay
     such  benefits.  The rights to  benefits  are not  subject in any manner to
     anticipation,  alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
     attachment,  or garnishment by creditors.  Any insurance on the Executive's
     life  is a  general  asset  of the  Company  to  which  the  Executive  and
     beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

          8.7  Recovery of Estate  Taxes.  If the  Executive's  gross estate for
     federal estate tax purposes  includes any amount determined by reference to
     and on account of this Agreement,  and if the beneficiary is other than the
     Executive's  estate,  then the  Executive's  estate  shall be  entitled  to
     recover from the beneficiary  receiving such benefit under the terms of the
     Agreement,  an amount by which the total estate tax due by the  Executive's
     estate,  exceeds the total  estate tax which would have been payable if the
     value  of such  benefit  had not been  included  in the  Executive's  gross
     estate. If there is more than one person receiving such benefit,  the right
     of recovery shall be against each such person. In the event the beneficiary
     has a liability  hereunder,  the beneficiary may petition the Company for a
     lump sum  payment in an amount not to exceed  the  beneficiary's  liability
     hereunder.

          8.8 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
     between the Company and the Executive as to the subject matter  hereof.  No
     rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement  other than
     those specifically set forth herein.

          8.9 Administration.  The Company shall have powers which are necessary
     to administer this Agreement, including but not limited to:

               8.9.1 Interpreting the provisions of the Agreement;

               8.9.2  Establishing and revising the method of accounting for the
          Agreement;

               8.9.3  Maintaining  a  record  of  benefit  payments;  and  8.9.4
          Establishing rules and prescribing any forms necessary or desirable to
          administer the Agreement.
