                                    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 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
propose such business; and (d) any material interest of any shareholder in such
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: (i) with respect to an election to be held at an
annual meeting of shareholders, 90 days in advance of such meeting (provided
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);
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



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   3

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
person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the
nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other
information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be
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.
        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 the shareholder's
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.
        The notice of every meeting of the shareholders may be accompanied by a
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




                                      -10-

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 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 or her 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 or her name on the books of the
Company.

                        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 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 or her 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) prior to the expiration of the term of office unless



                                      -12-
<PAGE>   6

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.
        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 or her
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 or her election.
        There shall be a Compensation Committee, an Audit Review Committee, a
Public Policy Committee, 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 two members of the Board of Directors, at least
two of whom, on the date of their appointment to the committee, are Independent
Directors. All members of the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and
Governance Committee and the Public Policy 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.
        Each director shall be entitled to receive from the Company such annual
and other fees and compensation as the Board of Directors shall from time to



                                      -13-

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 or she 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 to the Company or its subsidiaries; (c) is not an employee or five
percent or more owner of a significant customer or supplier of the Company or
its subsidiaries; (d) does not have a personal services contract with the
Company or its subsidiaries; (e) is not employed by a tax-exempt organization
that receives significant contributions from the Company or its subsidiaries;
and (f) is not a spouse, parent, sibling, child, parent-in-law, brother or
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.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  CONTRIBUTIONS

        The Board of Directors shall have the power, at any time and from time
to time, to make contributions and donations for the public welfare or for
religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes.

                       CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND OFFICERS

        The Board of Directors shall elect a Chairman of the Board, who may be
designated an officer of the Company, a President or a Chief Executive Officer
or both, such Vice Presidents as may from time to time be necessary or
desirable, a Secretary and a Treasurer. There shall also be one or more
assistant secretaries and treasurers and such other officers and assistant
officers as the Board may deem appropriate. The Board of Directors shall elect
all officers, except assistant officers.
        The term of office for all officers shall be until the organization
meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of
shareholders and until their respective successors are elected or appointed and
shall qualify, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The
Chairman of the Board or any officer may be removed from office, either with or
without cause, at any time by the affirmative vote of the majority of the
members of the Board then in office. A vacancy in any office arising from any
cause may be filled for the unexpired term by the Board.

                              MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS

        Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice
at such place or places either within or without the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, at such hour and on such day as may be fixed by resolution of the
Board of Directors.
        The Board of Directors shall meet for organization at its first regular
meeting after the annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of the
Board of Directors called after the annual meeting of shareholders and prior to
said first regular meeting. If no special meeting of the Board of Directors for
organization shall be called, all provisions of these By-laws in respect of
notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall apply to the first
regular meeting of the Board of Directors held after the annual meeting of
shareholders.

        Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held, whenever
called by the Chairman or by four directors or by resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors, at such place or places either within or without the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as may be stated in the notice of the meeting.
        Notice of the time and place of all special meetings of the Board of
Directors, and notice of any change in the time or place of holding the regular
meetings of the Board of Directors, shall be given to each director in person,
by telephone, or by sending a copy thereof by first class or express mail,
postage prepaid, or by telegram (with messenger service specified), telex or TWX
(with answerback received) or courier service, charges prepaid, or by facsimile
transmission, or by any type of electronic communication to the address (or to
the telephone, telex, TWX, fax or other number or address) supplied by the
director to the Corporation for the purpose of notice at least one day before
the day of the meeting; provided, however, that notice of any meeting need not
be given to any director if 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 courier service, it shall be deemed to have been given to
the director when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office
or courier service for delivery to the director or, in the case of telex, TWX,
fax or other electronic communication, it shall be deemed to have been given to
the director when dispatched. In the absence of any resolution of the Board of
Directors or any committee governing rules of procedure to the contrary, notice
of meetings of any committee referred to or provided for in these By-laws shall
follow the same procedures as those set forth in these By-laws for meetings of
the Board of Directors.
        Except as otherwise provided in these By-laws, a majority of the
directors in office shall constitute a quorum of the Board competent to transact
business; but a lesser number may adjourn from day to day until a quorum is
present. Except as otherwise provided in these By-laws, all questions shall be
decided by a vote of a majority of the directors present.

        Each committee referred to or provided for in these By-laws shall have
authority, except as may otherwise be required by law or by resolution of the
Board of Directors, to fix its own rules of procedure and to meet where and as
provided by such rules. The presence at any meeting of any such committee of a
majority of the members, including alternate members thereof, shall be necessary
to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business 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 committee or committees, the member or
members thereof, including alternate members, present at any meeting and not
disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum,

                                 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 or she serves or served as such



                                      -23-
<PAGE>   17

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 incurred by him or her 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 or she may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his or
her being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company or such
other corporation, whether or not he or she 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 or her reasonable expense.
        Any other person claiming indemnification under the first paragraph of
this Article XVII shall be reimbursed by the Company for his or her reasonable
expense and for any liability (other than any amount paid to the Company) if a
Referee shall deliver to the Company his or her written finding that such person
acted, in good faith, in what he or she 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 or her 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 the
foregoing standards of conduct. The person claiming



                                      -24-
<PAGE>   18

indemnification shall at the request of the Referee appear before him or her and
answer questions which the Referee deems relevant and shall be given ample
opportunity to present to the Referee evidence upon which he or she 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 or her 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 or she 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 or her 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 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



                                      -25-
<PAGE>   19

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.
        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 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,



                                      -27-
<PAGE>   21

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 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.


                                      -28-
<PAGE>   22

        If the person claiming advancement of expenses or indemnification,
pursuant to this Section 4(c), seeks to enforce his or her 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 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



                                      -29-

effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.

                                  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

         B. Subchapter G, "Control-Share Acquisitions," of Chapter 25, Title 15

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

                                   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,

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

         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.

Gentlemen:

Re:      Infinity Broadcasting Corporation Union Employees' 401(k) Plan
         Infinity Broadcasting Corporation Employees' 401(k) Plan
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         As Tax Counsel for CBS Corporation, I advise you as follows in
connection with the Infinity Broadcasting Corporation Union Employees' 401(k)
Plan and the Infinity Broadcasting Corporation Employees' 401(k) Plan:

         (1)      By letters dated September 6, 1996, the Internal Revenue
                  Service (IRS) determined that the Infinity Broadcasting
                  Corporation Union Employees' 401(k) Plan and the Infinity
                  Broadcasting Corporation Employees' 401(k) Plan (Plans), as
                  amended through December 29, 1994, met the qualification
                  requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
                  1986, as amended (Code).

         (2)      Infinity Broadcasting Corporation intends to submit the Plans,
                  as amended subsequent to the September 6, 1996 IRS
                  determination letters, in a timely manner for an IRS
                  determination that the Plans remain in compliance with Section
                  401(a) of the Code.

         (3)      The provisions of the Plans, as subsequently amended since the
                  IRS determination letter, remain in substantial compliance
                  with the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code. The IRS
                  may, however, require technical or other changes to the
                  provisions of the Plans as a condition for issuing a
                  determination that the Plans, as amended, continue to meet the
                  requirements for qualification under the Code. Assuming that
                  Infinity Broadcasting Corporation approves such changes in a
                  timely manner, the provisions of the Plans as so amended will
                  continue to meet the requirements for qualification under the
                  Code.

         I know that I am referred to in the Registration Statement on Form S-8
relating to CBS Common Stock. I hereby consent to such use of my name in such
Registration Statement and to the use of this opinion for filing as Exhibit 5.3
to such Registration Statement.
