description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting. The
chairman of the meeting may determine and declare to the meeting that a matter
proposed for the agenda was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure,
and if the chairman should so determine, the chairman shall so declare to the
meeting and the matter shall be disregarded.
Section 103. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be

called at any time by the Board of Directors in the manner provided herein.

except as specifically provided by law.
<PAGE>
Section 104. Conduct of Shareholders' Meetings. At every meeting of the
----------- ---------------------------------
shareholders, the Chairman of the Board or, in the Chairman's absence, the
President or, in the President's absence, a chairman (who shall be one of the
officers, if any is present) chosen by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors shall act as chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting
shall have any and all powers and authority necessary in the chairman's sole
discretion to conduct an orderly meeting and preserve order and to determine any
and all procedural matters, including imposing reasonable limits on the amount
of time at the meeting taken up in remarks by any one shareholder or group of
shareholders. In addition, until the business to be completed at a meeting of
the shareholders is completed, the chairman of a meeting of the shareholders is
expressly authorized to temporarily adjourn and postpone the meeting from time
to time. The Secretary of the Corporation or in the Secretary's absence, an
assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders.
In the absence at such meeting of the Secretary or assistant secretary, the
chairman of the meeting may appoint another person to act as secretary of the
meeting.
Section 105. Determination of Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix a
----------- ----------------------------
time prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders as a record date for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, the

more than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting of shareholders. Only
shareholders of record on the date fixed shall be so entitled notwithstanding
any transfer of shares on the books of the Corporation after any record date
fixed as provided in this section. The Board of Directors may similarly fix a
record date for the determination of shareholders of record for any other
purpose. When a determination of shareholders of record has been made as
provided in this section for purposes of a meeting, the determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new
record date for the adjourned meeting.

----------- -----------
books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each.
The list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting
and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time
of the meeting for the purposes thereof.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the
validity of any action taken at a meeting prior to a demand at the meeting by
any shareholder entitled to vote thereat to examine the list. The original
share register or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept in Pennsylvania,
shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine
the list or share register or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders.
Section 107. Judges of Election. In advance of any meeting of shareholders
----------- ------------------
of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may appoint judges of election, who
need not be
2
<PAGE>
shareholders, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If judges of
election are not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on
the request of any shareholder shall, appoint judges of election at the meeting.
The number of judges shall be one (1) or three (3). No person who is a candidate
for office to be filled at the meeting shall act as a judge of election.
In the event any person appointed as a judge fails to appear or fails or
refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of
Directors in advance of convening the meeting or at the meeting by the presiding
officer thereof.
The judges of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and
the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence
of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, receive votes or
ballots, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in
connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, determine the
result and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with
fairness to all shareholders. The judge or judges of election shall perform
their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as
expeditiously as is practical. If there are three judges of election, the
decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as
the decision, act or certificate of all.
On request of the presiding officer of the meeting, or of any shareholder, the
judge or judges shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or
matter determined by them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.
Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the
facts stated therein.
Section 108. No Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting. No action

required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of

failure to take any action unless the Director has breached or failed to perform
the duties of his or her office under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law
of 1988, as amended, or any successor statute, and such breach or failure
constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The provisions of
this Section 701 shall not apply with respect to the responsibility or liability
of a Director under any criminal statute or the liability of a director for the
payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.
Section 702. Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who

was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,

serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), amounts paid in
settlement, judgments, and fines actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall 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.
Section 703. Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
----------- --------
defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or

determined that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this Article VII.
Section 704. Non-Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
----------- -------------
provided by this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to

their actions in another capacity while holding office, and shall continue as to

are then entitled to cast, except that, if the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania are amended or any other statute is enacted so as to decrease the
exposure of directors to liability or to increase the indemnification rights
available, this Article VII and any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent
with such decreased exposure or increased indemnification rights shall be
amended, automatically and without any further action on the part of
shareholders or directors, to reflect such decreased exposure or to include such
increased indemnification rights, unless such legislation expressly otherwise
requires. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII by the directors or
shareholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not
adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the
Corporation or any right to indemnification for any action taken or any failure
to take any action occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
Section 707. Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Article

VII shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall, to the full extent
