Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pennsylvania law provides that a Pennsylvania
corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and
agents of the corporation against liabilities they may incur in
such capacities for any action taken or any failure to act,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
the person under any provision of law, unless such action or
failure to act is determined by a court to have constituted
recklessness or willful misconduct. Pennsylvania law also
permits the adoption of a bylaw amendment, approved by
shareholders, providing for the elimination of a director's
<PAGE 1> liability for monetary damages 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 and
(2) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing,
willful misconduct or recklessness.
The bylaws of the Registrant provide for
(1) indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents
of the Registrant and (2) the elimination of a director's
liability for monetary damages, to the fullest extent permitted
by Pennsylvania law.
Directors and officers are also insured against certain
liabilities for their actions, as such, by an insurance policy
obtained by the Registrant.

<PAGE 2>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, to treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of such securities at that
time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove

remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Provided, however, that subparagraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,

requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 if under the Securities

<PAGE 3>
(d) 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.

Re: Main Street Bancorp, Inc. 1988 Stock Option Plan
Gentlemen:
You have asked us to provide you with our opinion whether
the 23,625 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Main Street Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company")
that may be issued from time to time pursuant to the exercise of
options issued under the Main Street Bancorp, Inc. 1988 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"), when and if such shares are issued
pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We, as counsel to
the Company, have reviewed:
1. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as
amended;
2. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company;
3. The By-laws of the Company; and
4. The Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company adopted June 23, 1998 as certified by the Corporate
Secretary of the Company;
Based on our review of such documents, it is our opinion
that the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options
granted under the Plan, when and as issued and paid for in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In giving the
foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will have, at
the time of the issuance of such Common Stock, a sufficient
number of authorized shares available for issue.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the registration statement the Company is filing today in
connection with the registration of 23,625 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. In giving this consent, we do not
<PAGE 1> thereby admit that we come within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours
