Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 1741 of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (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,
- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
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 -
<PAGE> 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.

ARTICLE I.
Meetings of Shareholders
The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company shall be held on
such date and at such hour as the Board of Directors may designate and on any
subsequent day or days to which such meeting may be adjourned, for the purpose
of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
lawfully come before the meeting. If for any reason the annual meeting shall
not have been held on the day designated by the Board or on the day specified
above, the Board of Directors shall cause the annual meeting to be called and
held as soon thereafter as may be convenient.
Special meetings of the shareholders of the Company may be called by
the Board of Directors or by the Chairman to be held on such date as the Board
or the Chairman shall determine. At an annual meeting of the shareholders, only
such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i)
specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) brought
before the meeting by a shareholder in accordance with the procedure set forth
below. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
shareholder, the shareholder must be entitled by Pennsylvania law to present
such business and must have given written

<PAGE> 4
notice of such business, either by personal delivery or by United States mail,
postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Company, not later than 90 days in
advance of such meeting; provided, however, that if such annual meeting of
shareholders is held on a date other than the last Wednesday of April, such
written notice must be given within ten days after the first public disclosure,
which may include any public filing by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, of the date of the annual meeting. Any such notice shall
set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual
meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and in
the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the By-laws of the
Company, the language of the proposed amendment, (b) the name and address of
the shareholder proposing such business, (c) a representation that the
shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at
such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to

business. No business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in
accordance with this paragraph, and the chairman of any annual meeting of
shareholders may refuse to permit any business to be brought before such annual
meeting without compliance with the foregoing procedures.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock
having a preference over the Common Stock of the Company as to dividends or
upon liquidation, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the
Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of
directors. Any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may
nominate at a meeting persons for election as directors only if written notice
of such shareholder's intent to make such nomination is given, either by
personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary
of the Company not later than

meeting of shareholders is held on a date other than the last Wednesday of
April, such written notice must be given within ten days after the first public
disclosure, which may include any public filing by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, of the date of the annual meeting), and
(ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of
shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the
seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given
to shareholders. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of
the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of each person to be
nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of
stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in
person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified
in the notice as directors; (c) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other

required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission were such nominee to be nominated by
the Board of Directors; and (e) the consent of each proposed nominee to serve
as a director of the Company if so elected. The chairman of any meeting of
shareholders to elect directors may refuse to permit the nomination of any
person to be made without compliance with the foregoing procedure.
Every meeting of the shareholders, annual or special, shall be held at
such place within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the Board of
Directors may designate or, in the absence of such designation, at the
registered office of the Company in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

<PAGE> 6
Written notice of every meeting of the shareholders shall be given by,
or at the direction of, the person authorized to call the meeting, to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, at his address appearing
on the books of the Company. The notice of every meeting of the shareholders
shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a
special meeting, the matter or matters to be acted upon at such meeting. Only
the matter or matters specified in the notice of a special meeting shall be
acted upon thereat. All notices of meetings of the shareholders shall be
provided in accordance with Pennsylvania law.

form of proxy approved by the Board of Directors in favor of such person or
persons as the Board of Directors may select.
Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Restated Articles of the
Company, as from time to time amended, (hereinafter called the Articles of the
Company) or by these By-laws, the presence in person or by proxy of
shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all
shareholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter shall constitute a
quorum at the meeting of shareholders, and all questions shall be decided by a
majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at a duly organized meeting
by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon. The shareholders present at
any duly organized meeting may continue to do business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a
quorum.
Any meeting of the shareholders may be adjourned from time to time,
without notice other than by announcement at the meeting at which such
adjournment is taken, and at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall
be present any action may be taken that
-4-
<PAGE> 7
could have been taken at the meeting originally called; provided that any
meeting at which directors are to be elected shall be adjourned only from day
to day, or for such longer periods, not exceeding fifteen days each, as the
holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy shall direct,
until such directors have been elected.
If a meeting cannot be organized because of lack of a quorum, those
present may, except as otherwise provided by law, adjourn the meeting to such
time and place as they may determine, but in the case of any meeting called for
the election of directors those who attend the second of such adjourned
meetings, although less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum
for the purpose of electing directors.
At each meeting, each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person
or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney-in-fact and filed with the Secretary of the Company. Except as
otherwise provided by law or the Articles of the Company or these By-laws, each
holder of record of shares of any class of the Company shall be entitled to one
vote, on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the shareholders, and
in respect of which shares of such class shall be entitled to be voted, for
every share of such class standing in his name on the books of the Company.
ARTICLE II.
Board of Directors - Committees -
Their Powers and Duties
The business, affairs and property of the Company shall be managed and
controlled by a Board of Directors, which, except as otherwise provided by law
or the Articles of the Company, shall exercise all the powers of the Company.
The number, qualifications, manner of election, time and place of meeting,
compensation and powers and duties of the
-5-
<PAGE> 8
directors of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by or pursuant to
these By-laws. Nominees for election to the Board of Directors who qualify as
Independent Directors on the date of their nomination shall be such that the
majority of all directors holding office immediately after such nomination,
assuming the election of such nominees, shall be Independent Directors.
The number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors
shall be fixed from time to time by a vote of a majority of the Board of
Directors, provided, however, that the number of directors of the Company shall
be not less than three nor more than twenty-four. The shareholders shall, at
each annual meeting, elect directors, each of whom shall serve until the annual
meeting of shareholders next following his election and until his successor is
elected and shall qualify; provided, however, that directors with terms
expiring at the annual meetings of shareholders to be held in 1994 and 1995
shall serve until the expiration of their respective terms.
Each election of directors by the shareholders shall be conducted by
one or three judges of election appointed by the Board of Directors in advance
of the meeting to act at that meeting and at any adjournment thereof. If any or
all of such appointees shall fail to appear or fail or refuse to act, the
vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by the Board of Directors or the presiding
officer of the meeting. No person who is a candidate for office to be filled at
the meeting shall act as a judge.
Except as the law may otherwise provide, the shareholders shall not
remove any director from office without assigning any cause (as such term is
defined in the Articles of Incorporation) prior to the expiration of the term
of office unless holders of at least 80% of the shares of capital stock of the
Company entitled to vote thereon, vote to remove the director from office.
-6-
<PAGE> 9
In case of any vacancy in the Board of Directors through death,
resignation, disqualification, removal, increase in the number of directors or
other cause, the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, by affirmative
vote of a majority thereof or by a sole remaining director, may fill such
vacancy to serve for the balance of the unexpired term and until his successor
shall have been elected and qualified; provided, however, that any director
elected to fill a vacancy for a director having a term expiring at the annual
meeting of shareholders to be held in 1994 or 1995 shall serve only until the
annual election of shareholders next following his election. There shall be a
Compensation Committee, an Audit Review Committee, a Committee on Environment
and Health, and a Nominating and Governance Committee. The Compensation
Committee may determine to retain an independent compensation consultant to
assist it in carrying out its duties. Each of these committees shall consist of
not less than three members of the Board of Directors, at least three of whom,
on the date of their appointment to the committee, are Independent Directors.
All members of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance
Committee must, on the date of their appointment to said committee, be
Independent Directors. With respect to each such committee, the Board of
Directors shall, by one or more resolutions adopted by a majority of the whole
Board, determine the duties and responsibilities, determine the number of
members, appoint the members and the committee chair and fill each vacancy
occurring in the membership.
The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint such further
standing or special committees as it may deem in the best interest of the
Company, but no such committee shall have any powers, except such as are
expressly conferred upon it by the Board. Each committee referred to in this
Article II shall act only as a committee and the individual members shall have
no power as such.

<PAGE> 10
Each director shall be entitled to receive from the Company such annual
and meeting fees as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine
and to be reimbursed for his reasonable expenses in connection with attendance
at meetings. Nothing herein contained shall preclude any director from serving
the Company or its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor.
For purposes of this Article II, the term "Independent Director" shall
mean a director who: (a) is not and has not been employed by the Company or a
subsidiary in an executive capacity within the five years immediately prior to
the annual meeting at which he will be voted upon; (b) is not an employee or
five percent or more owner of an entity that is a regular advisor or consultant

more owner of a significant customer or supplier of the Company or its

sister-in-law or son or daughter-in-law of an officer of the Company.
The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive right and power to
interpret and apply the provisions of this Article II, including, without
limitation, the adoption of written definitions of terms used in and guidelines
for its application (any such definitions and guidelines shall be filed with
the Secretary, and such definitions and guidelines as may prevail shall be made
available to any shareholder upon written request). Any such definitions or
guidelines and any other interpretation or application of the provisions of
this Article II made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive.

waived by such director in writing, whether before or after the time stated
therein, or if such director shall be present at the beginning of such meeting
and does not object to the transaction of business because the meeting was not
lawfully called or convened. If the notice is sent by mail, telegraph or

majority of the members, including alternate members thereof, shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
-11-
<PAGE> 14
and in every case the affirmative vote of a majority of such members
present at any meeting shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution of
such committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such

Employees' Stock Purchases and Stock Option Plans
Shares of Common Stock of the Company may be reserved, from time to
time, by the Board of Directors for offering for sale, pursuant to one or more
-17-
<PAGE> 20
plans, to employees, including assistant officers, of the Company and to
employees, including officers, of its subsidiaries, on an installment payment
basis, either by deductions from pay or by direct cash payments, or otherwise.
Shares so reserved may be offered for sale, from time to time, pursuant to such
plan or plans, but may be issued only after completion of payment therefor.
Except for shares acquired pursuant to a plan for the deferral of director
fees, directors, other than employee directors, will not be eligible to
purchase shares hereunder.
The Board of Directors may determine, with respect to any plan, the
class or classes of employees eligible to participate therein, the number of
shares to be offered, the number of shares which the respective employees may
elect to purchase (which may, but need not, be fixed in proportion to their
compensation) and the price at which the shares will be offered for sale. The
price so determined by the Board (i) may be a fixed price, or (ii) may be a
price determined by the average market price of the shares for a designated
period or periods, or (iii) may be a price less than such average market price
by a fixed amount or a specified percentage thereof. In any event, the price
determined by the Board shall not be less than the par value of the shares.
Each such plan shall set forth the terms and conditions upon which an
employee may elect to purchase shares thereunder, upon which any such election
may be cancelled by the employee or terminated by the Company, and upon which
funds credited to the employee's account shall be refunded to him or applied to
the purchase of shares.
Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors may prescribe the
terms and conditions of each plan.
Shares of Common Stock of the Company may also be reserved, from time
to time, by the Board of Directors for sale upon the exercise of options
granted pursuant to one or more
-18-
<PAGE> 21
plans to officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, but
not including any director who is not also such an officer or employee. Any
such plan shall be administered by a committee consisting of three or more
members of the Board of Directors who are not eligible to receive options under
the plan. The members of any such comMittee shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors and shall have plenary authority to determine the individuals to whom
and the time or times at which options shall be granted; to determine the
number of shares to be subject to each option; to determine the duration of
such options; to determine the purchase price of the Common Stock under any
such option, which may be less than the fair market value of the stock at the
time of the granting of the option and which, upon the exercise of any option,
shall be paid in full with respect to the shares then purchased under such
option; to determine the terms and provisions of the respective option
agreements, which need not be identical, and which may include such terms and
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable under tax law and to make such
other determinations as shall be deemed to be necessary or advisable for the
administration of such plan. Any such plan shall contain such other terms and
conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe.
ARTICLE XVII.
Indemnification
A. Indemnification Provisions Applicable to Proceedings Not Covered by
Section B. of this Article.
Every person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company, or of any other corporation which he serves or served as such at the
request of the Company, shall, in accordance with this Article XVII but not if
prohibited by law, be indemnified by the Company as hereinafter provided
against reasonable expense and any liability paid or
-19-
<PAGE> 22
incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any threatened or actual
claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the
Company or such other corporation or otherwise), civil, criminal administrative
or investigative, in which he may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by
reason of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of the
Company or such other corporation, whether or not he continues to be such at
the time such expense or liability shall have been paid or incurred.
As used in this Article XVII, the term "expense" shall mean counsel
fees and disbursements and all other expenses (except any liability) relating
to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and the term "liability" shall
mean amounts of judgments, fines or penalties against, and amounts paid in
settlement by, a director, officer or employee with respect to any such claim,
action, suit or proceeding.
Any person referred to in the first paragraph of this Article XVII who
has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, with respect to any
claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described in such first
paragraph shall be reimbursed by the Company for his reasonable expense.
Any other person claiming indemnification under the first paragraph of
this Article XVII shall be reimbursed by the Company for his reasonable expense
and for any liability (other than any amount paid to the Company) if a Referee
shall deliver to the Company his written finding that such person acted, in
good faith, in what he reasonably believed to be the best interests of the
Company, and in addition with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
reasonably believed that his conduct was lawful. The termination of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, settlement (whether with or without
court approval), adverse decision or conviction after trial or upon a plea of
guilty or of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption
that a director, officer or employee did not meet
-20-
<PAGE> 23
the foregoing standards of conduct. The person claiming indemnification shall
at the request of the Referee appear before him and answer questions which the
Referee deems relevant and shall be given ample opportunity to present to the
Referee evidence upon which he relies for indemnification; and the Company
shall, at the request of the Referee, make available to the Referee facts,
opinions or other evidence in any way relevant for his finding which are within
the possession or control of the Company. As used in this Article XVII, the
term "Referee" shall mean independent legal counsel (who may be regular counsel
of the Company), or other disinterested person or persons, selected to act as
such hereunder by the Board of Directors of the Company, whether or not a
disinterested quorum exists.
Any expense incurred with respect to any claim, action, suit or
proceeding of the character described in the first paragraph of this Article
XVII may be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon
receipt of an undertaking made by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such
amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not indemnified under this
Article XVII.
The rights of indemnification provided in this Article XVII shall be in
addition to any rights to which any such director, officer or employee may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and, in the event of
such person's death, such rights shall extend to his heirs and legal
representatives.
B. Indemnification Provisions Applicable to Proceedings Based on Acts
or Omissions on or after January 27, 1987.
SECTION 1. Right to Indemnification and Effect of Amendments.
(a) Right to Indemnification. The Company, unless prohibited by
applicable law, shall indemnify any person who is or was a director or officer
of the Company and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without
limitation, as a party or a witness) or is
-21-
<PAGE> 24
threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or
completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a Proceeding) (whether or not the
indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
(including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) (a Covered Entity)
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 4(c) of this Article, the foregoing shall not apply to a director or
officer of the Company with respect to a Proceeding that was commenced by such
director or officer. Any director or officer of the Company entitled to
indemnification as provided in this Section 1, is hereinafter called an
"Indemnitee". Any right of an Indemnitee to indemnification shall be a contract
right and shall include the right to receive, prior to the conclusion of any
Proceeding, payment of any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
with such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then
in effect and the other provisions of this Article.
(b) Effect of Amendments. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal
of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of this
Article (including, without limitation, this Section 1(b)) shall adversely
affect the rights of any director or officer under this Article with respect to
any Proceeding commenced or threatened, or any alleged act or omission, prior
to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision,
without the written consent of such director or officer.
-22-
<PAGE> 25
SECTION 2. Insurance; Contracts and Funding. The Company may purchase
and maintain insurance to protect itself and any indemnified person against any
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as specified in
Section 1 or Section 5 of this Article or incurred by any indemnified person in
connection with any Proceeding referred to in such Sections, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law as then in effect. The Company may enter
into contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
of any Covered Entity in furtherance of the provisions of this Article and may
create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including,
without limitation, a letter of credit) to insure the payment of such amounts
as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article.
SECTION 3. Indemnification and Not Exclusive Right. The right of
indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other
rights to which any indemnified person may otherwise be entitled, and the
provisions of this Article shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal
representatives of any indemnified person under this Article and shall be
applicable to Proceedings arising from acts or omissions occurring on or after
January 27, 1987.
SECTION 4. Advancement of Expenses; Request for Indemnification;
Remedies; Presumptions and Defenses. In furtherance, but not in limitation of
the foregoing provisions, the following procedures, presumptions and remedies
shall apply with respect to advancement of expenses and the right to
indemnification under this Article:
(a) Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable expenses incurred
by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (including
any Proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee under Section 4(c) but excluding any
other Proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee) shall be advanced to the
Indemnitee by the Company within
-23-
<PAGE> 26
20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements
from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time,
whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement
or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee
and, if required by law at the time of such advance, shall include or be
accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the
amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses pursuant to this Article.
(b) Request for Indemnification. To obtain indemnification
under this Article, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary of the Company
a written request, including such documentation and information as is
reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine
whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the
Supporting Documentation).
(c) Remedies; Presumptions and Defenses. If (i) expenses are
not advanced in full within 20 days after receipt by the Company of the
statement or statements and the undertaking (if an undertaking is required by
law, By-law, agreement or otherwise at the time of such advance) required by
Section 4(a) of this Article, or (ii) indemnification is not paid in full
within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the written request for
indemnification and Supporting Documentation required by Section 4(b) of this
Article, then the person claiming advancement of expenses or indemnification
shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Company's obligation to
pay such advancement of expenses or indemnification. It shall be a defense to
any Proceeding seeking judicial enforcement of the Company's obligation to pay
indemnification that the conduct of the person claiming indemnification was
such that under Pennsylvania law the Company is prohibited from indemnifying
such person for the amount claimed. The Company shall have the burden of
-24-
<PAGE> 27
proving such defense. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel and its shareholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such Proceeding that indemnification
is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its
shareholders) that such indemnification is prohibited by law, shall be a
defense to a Proceeding seeking enforcement of the provisions of this Article
or create a presumption that such indemnification is prohibited by law. The
only defense to any such Proceeding to receive payment of expenses in advance
shall be failure to make an undertaking to reimburse, if such an undertaking is
required by law, By-law, agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right
of a person claiming advancement of expenses or indemnification to receive such
advancement or indemnification hereunder because such advancement or
indemnification is prohibited by law; provided, however, that in any such
action the Company shall have the burden of proving that such advancement or
indemnification is prohibited by law.
The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any action or
Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 4(c) that the procedure and
presumptions of this Article are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall
stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of
this Article.
If the person claiming advancement of expenses or indemnification,
pursuant to this Section 4(c), seeks to enforce his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of this Article, that person shall be entitled to recover
from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by such person if such person prevails in such
Proceeding. If it shall be determined in such Proceeding that
-25-
<PAGE> 28
such person is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or
advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by such person in
connection with such Proceeding shall be prorated accordingly.
SECTION 5. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. Notwithstanding any
other provision or provisions of this Article, the Company, unless prohibited
by applicable law, may indemnify any person other than a director or officer of
the Company who is or was an employee or agent of the Company and who is or was
involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness)
or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed
Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of a Covered Entity against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The
Company may also advance expenses incurred by such employee or agent in
connection with any such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of
applicable law as then in effect.
SECTION 6. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Article (including, without limitation, all portions of any
Section of this Article containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to
the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article (including, without
limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to
the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
-26-
<PAGE> 29
ARTICLE XVIII.
Director Liability
To the fullest extent that the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
as it exists on January 27, 1987, or as it may thereafter be amended, permits
the elimination of the liability of directors, no director of the Company shall
be liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any
action. This Article shall not apply to any breach of performance of duty or
any failure of performance of duty by any director occurring prior to January
27, 1987. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any
effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Company for
or with respect to any act or failure to act on the part of such director
occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
ARTICLE XIX.
Pennsylvania Opt Out
A. "Subsections (e) through (g) of Section 1721, "Board of Directors,"
of Title 15 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, or any successor
subsections thereto, shall not be applicable to the Company.
B. Subchapter G, "Control-Share Acquisitions," of Chapter 25, Title 15
of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, or any successor subchapter thereto,
shall not be applicable to the Company.
C. Subchapter H, "Disgorgement By Certain Controlling Shareholders
Following Attempts to Acquire Control," of Chapter 25, Title 15 of the
Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, or any successor subchapter thereto, shall
not be applicable to the Company."
-27-
<PAGE> 30
ARTICLE XX.
Amendments
The By-laws of the Company, regardless of whether adopted by the
shareholders or by the Board of Directors, may be altered, amended or repealed
by the Board of Directors, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or,
subject to the third paragraph of Article I hereof, by the shareholders. Such
action at a meeting of the Board of Directors shall be taken by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors in office at the
time; and such action by the shareholders shall be taken by the affirmative
vote of the holders of 80% of the shares of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote thereon.
These By-laws are subject to any requirements of law, any provisions
of the Articles of the Company, as from time to time amended, and any terms of
any series of preferred stock or any other securities of the Company.
ARTICLE XXI.
Confidentiality in Voting
Shareholders shall be provided permanent confidentiality in all
voting, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements. The Company
shall engage the services of an independent third party to receive, inspect,
count and tabulate proxies. A representative of the independent third party
shall also act as a judge of election at the annual meeting of shareholders.

EXHIBIT 4.4
DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN
FOR DIRECTORS
(AS AMENDED AS OF APRIL 24, 1996)
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Establishment. Westinghouse Electric Corporation, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), has established the Deferred Compensation and
Stock Plan for Directors as amended as of April 24, 1996 (the "Plan") for those
directors of the Company who are neither officers nor employees of the Company.
The Plan provides, among other things, for the payment of specified portions of
the Annual Director's Fee in the form of Stock Options and Restricted Stock and
for the payment of the Annual Committee Chair's Fee in the form of Restricted
Stock, and the opportunity for the Directors to defer receipt of all or a part
of their cash compensation. Unless otherwise provided for herein, the term
Company includes Westinghouse Electric Corporation and its subsidiaries.
1.2 Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are to encourage the Directors to
own shares of the Company's stock and thereby to align their interests more
closely with the interests of the other shareholders of the Company, to
encourage the highest level of Director performance, and to provide a financial
incentive that will help attract and retain the most qualified Directors.

established from time to time by the Board as the annual fee to be paid
to Directors for their services as chairs of standing committees of the
Board.
(b) "Annual Director's Fee" means the annual amount (which may be prorated
for a Director serving less than a full calendar year, as in the case of a
Director who will be retiring or not standing for reelection at the annual
meeting of shareholders or a Director joining the Board after the beginning of
the year) established from time to time by the Board as the annual fee to be
paid to Directors for their services as directors.
(c) "Attendance Percentage" for a Director with respect to a particular
Grant Year means the percentage of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board
and committees of which the Director was a member held during the Grant Year

such deferred amounts are earned until the last trading day of the New York
Stock Exchange prior to the regular January meeting of the Board (or, if no

Award will be the number of shares determined by dividing the amount of the

from office for Cause, all outstanding Stock Options will be forfeited
immediately

Term;
(2) If a grantee is removed from office as a director of the Company for
Cause, any outstanding vested Stock Options held by such grantee shall be
exercisable by the grantee in accordance with their terms at any time prior to
the earlier of (a) the time the grantee is so removed from office and (b) the

under the Plan shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time the
Company shall determine that (a) the listing, registration or qualification of

right to ownership in shares of Restricted Stock granted to a committee chair
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) will vest on the Restricted Stock Vesting Date.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the event
that a director is removed from office for Cause prior to the Restricted Stock
Vesting Date, all of said Director's shares of Restricted Stock that have not
yet vested will be forfeited immediately as of the time the grantee is so
removed from office and the Company will have the right to complete the blank
stock power described below with respect to such shares, and (ii) upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control, all shares of Restricted Stock that have
not yet vested will immediately vest.

Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 8.2(d) and to the
last sentence of this Section 8.2(c), the Director as owner of shares of
Restricted Stock will have the rights of the holder of such Restricted Stock
during the Restriction Period. Following expiration of the Restriction Period,
on the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, vested shares of Restricted Stock will
be redelivered by the Company to the Director and non-vested shares of
Restricted Stock will be forfeited and the Company will have the right to
complete the blank stock power with respect to such shares. For shares of
Restricted Stock granted prior to the effective date of the Plan as set forth
in Section 14, no certificate will be issued, such shares will not be issued
and outstanding, and the Director will not have any of the rights of an owner
of the shares until such effective date has occurred.
(d) Transfer Restrictions; Mandatory Holding of Stock. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.5 or Section 10, shares of Restricted Stock are
not transferable during the Restriction Period. Once the Restriction Period

grantee for a minimum of: (1) three years from the Grant Date, (2) two years
from the date the grantee ceases to be a director of the Company, or (3) until
the occurrence of a Change of Control, whichever first occurs (the "Restricted
Shares Holding Period").

confirmed by an agreement, or an amendment thereto, which will be executed on
behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice
President and by the grantee.
(f) General Restriction.
(1) The obligation of the Company to issue shares of Restricted Stock under
the Plan shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee
shall determine that (a) the listing, registration or qualification of shares of
Restricted Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law,
or (b) the consent or approval of any government or regulatory body is necessary
or desirable, then such Restricted Stock shall not be issued unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free from any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
(2) Shares of Stock for use under the provisions of this Section 8 shall
not be issued until they have been duly listed, upon official notice of
issuance, upon the New York Stock Exchange and such other exchanges, if any, as
the Board shall determine, and a registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933 with respect to such shares shall have become, and be, effective.
-31-
<PAGE> 32
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 and the other
provisions of the Plan, any shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan
shall be subject to such restrictions and other terms and conditions, if any, as
shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the
agreement referred to in Section 8.2(e), or an amendment thereto; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Committee or the Board have any power or
authority which would cause the Directors to cease to be "disinterested persons"
or would cause transactions pursuant to the Plan to cease to be exempt from the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act under Rule 16b-3, as such rule
may be amended, or any successor rule.
8.3 Annual Statement. A statement will be sent to each Director as to
the status of his Restricted Stock at least once each calendar year.

beneficiary to hold shares of Restricted Stock in accordance with the Plan in

as at least six months have elapsed since the Grant Date, a properly designated
beneficiary, or a person holding shares of Restricted Stock under a deceased
grantee's will or under the applicable laws of descent or distribution, will not
be subject to the Restricted Shares Holding Period with respect to such shares
of Restricted Stock.
SECTION 9. CHANGE IN CONTROL
9.1 Settlement of Compensation. In the event of a Change in
Control of the Company as defined herein, (a) to the extent not already vested,
all Stock Option Awards, Restricted Stock Awards and other benefits hereunder
shall be vested immediately; and (b) the value of all unpaid benefits and
deferred amounts shall be paid in cash to PNC Bank, National Association, the
trustee pursuant to a trust agreement dated as of June 22, 1995, as amended from
time to time, or any successor trustee, or otherwise on such terms as the
Committee may prescribe or permit. For purposes of this Section 9.1, the
value of deferred amounts shall be equal to the sum of (i) the value of all
Common Stock Equivalent Awards then held in such Director's Deferred Stock
Account (the value of which shall be based upon the highest price of the Stock
as reported by the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange during the 30
days immediately preceding the Change in Control), (ii) the value of the
Director's Cash Account, and (iii) the greater value of (x) the cash amount
-33-
<PAGE> 34
equal to the face value of the Debentures plus cash equal to accrued interest
or (y) the number of shares of Stock into which the Debentures are convertible
(the value of which shall be based upon the highest price of the Stock as
reported by the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange during the 30
days immediately preceding the Change in Control), plus cash equal to accrued
interest.
9.2 Definition of Change in Control. A Change in Control shall
mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
(a) there shall be consummated (i) any consolidation or merger of the
Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or
pursuant to which shares of the Company's Stock would be converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the
holders of the Company's Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation
immediately after the merger, or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other
transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company; or
(b) the shareholders of the Company shall approve of any plan or proposal
for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or
-34-
<PAGE> 35
(c) (i) any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act), corporation or other entity shall purchase any Stock of the
Company (or securities convertible into the Company's Stock) for cash,
securities or any other consideration pursuant to a tender offer or exchange
offer, unless, prior to the making of such purchase of Stock (or securities
convertible into Stock), the Board shall determine that the making of such
purchase shall not constitute a Change in Control, or (ii) any person (as such
term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), corporation or other
entity (other than the Company or any benefit plan sponsored by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries) shall become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing twenty percent or more of the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart
from any rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote
in the election of directors (calculated as provided in Rule 13d-3(d) in the
case of rights to acquire any such securities), unless, prior to such person
so becoming such beneficial owner, the Board shall determine that such person
so becoming such beneficial owner shall not constitute a Change in Control, or
(d) at any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who
at the beginning of such period constituted the entire Board shall cease for any
reason to constitute at least a
-35-
<PAGE> 36
majority thereof, unless the election or nomination for election of each new
director during such two-year period is approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
beginning of such two-year period.
SECTION 10. ASSIGNABILITY
The right to receive payments or distributions hereunder (including any
"derivative security" issued pursuant to the Plan, as such term is defined by
the rules promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), any shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder during the Restriction Period, and any Stock
Options granted hereunder shall not be transferable or assignable by a Director
other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, to a properly
designated beneficiary in the event of death, or pursuant to a domestic
relations order as defined by Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code
or the rules thereunder that satisfies Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Internal
Revenue Code or the rules thereunder. In addition, Stock acquired on exercise
of a Stock Option shall not be transferable prior to the end of the applicable
Option Shares Holding Period, if any, set forth in Sections 7.2(d) and 7.5,
and Stock acquired as Restricted Stock shall not be transferable prior to the
end of the applicable Restricted Shares Holding Period, if any, set forth in
Sections 8.2(d) and 8.5, in either case other than by will, by transfer to a
properly designated beneficiary in the
-36-
<PAGE> 37
event of death, by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or pursuant
to a domestic relations order as defined by Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code or the rules thereunder that satisfies Section
414(p)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code or the rules thereunder.
SECTION 11. RETENTION; WITHHOLDING OF TAX
11.1 Retention. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Stock Option
Award or Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company to remove any Director from the Board
pursuant to the Restated Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws of the
Company, nor confer upon any Director any right to continue in the service of
the Company.
11.2 Withholding of Tax. To the extent required by applicable law and
regulation, each Director must arrange with the Company for the payment of any
federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to any payment or any
delivery of Stock hereunder before the Company shall be required to make such
payment or issue (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, deliver) such shares
under the Plan.
SECTION 12. PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
The Board may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or
modify the Plan, provided, however, that no amendment or modification may become
-37-
<PAGE> 38
effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the shareholders
if shareholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any applicable
statutory or regulatory requirements and provided further, that, unless
otherwise permitted by the rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no
amendment or modification shall be made more than once every six months that
would change the amount, price, or timing of the Common Stock Equivalent Awards,
Stock Option Awards or Restricted Stock Awards hereunder, other than to comport
with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules promulgated thereunder.
SECTION 13. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
13.1 Federal Securities Law Requirements. Implementation and
interpretations of, transactions pursuant to, the Plan shall be subject to all
conditions required under Rule 16b-3, as such rule may be amended, or any
successor rule, to qualify such transactions for any exemption from the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act available under that rule, or
any successor rule, and to permit the Directors to be "disinterested persons"
within the meaning of that rule, or any successor rule, insofar as the Plan or
its implementation shall impact such disinterested status.
-38-
<PAGE> 39
13.2 Governing Law. The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
SECTION 14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDMENT.
This Plan shall be effective on the date on which the amendment to the
Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors is approved by the common
shareholders of the Company. Automatic grants of Stock Options and Restricted
Stock to Directors for Annual Director's Fees will begin on January 31, 1996 but
are subject to such shareholder approval, and, in the case of Restricted Stock
Awards, said shares shall not be issued and outstanding until such approval is
obtained. In the event that the amendment is not so approved, the Deferred
Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors as in effect prior to the amendment
shall remain in full force and effect, and the automatic grants made on
January 31, 1996 shall be null and void.
This Plan shall not preclude the adoption by appropriate means of any other
compensation or deferral plan for directors.

Re: Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Common Stock, $1.00 par value
100,000 shares
Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, as amended (the "Plan")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being submitted in connection with a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in respect of
100,000 shares of the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common
Stock") of Westinghouse Electric Corporation (the "Company").
I have examined and am familiar with the Restated Articles and the By-laws,
both as amended, of the Company, a Pennsylvania corporation. I am of the
opinion that the Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
I am further of the opinion that the corporate proceedings to authorize the
issuance of 100,000 shares of Common Stock for use under the Plan have been duly
taken in accordance with the applicable law, and that said 100,000 shares of
Common Stock have been duly authorized for issuance.
In addition, I am of the opinion that the 100,000 shares reserved, when
issued as provided in the Plan and the corporate proceedings related thereto,
will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I know that I am referred to in the Registration Statement relating to the
Common Stock and I hereby consent to such use of my name in such Registration
Statement and to the use of this opinion for filing as an exhibit to such
Registration Statement as Exhibit 5 thereto.
Very truly yours,
