               (b)      Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

               (c)      Description of the registrant's Series A Common Stock

               In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the registrant
with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, prior to the filing with the Commission of a post-effective
amendment which (i) indicates that all securities registered hereby have been

ITEM 4.        DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

               Not applicable.

ITEM 5.        INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

               Not applicable.

ITEM 6.        INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

               Article XIII of the bylaws of the registrant provides that the
registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer.  Such
Article provides for indemnification against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings and further provides generally
that the registrant pay expenses incurred by such persons in defending an
action in advance of its final disposition, provided the person receiving such
advances undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to indemnification by the registrant.  For
these purposes, the Board has the authority to purchase and maintain insurance
at the registrant's expense.




                                      3
<PAGE>   4
               The registrant has in effect a directors and officers liability
insurance policy which, with certain general and specific exclusions,
indemnifies each person who was, is or may hereafter be a director or officer
of the registrant and his heirs and assigns, against any payment by an insured
(except fines and penalties) in respect of any legal liability, whether actual
or asserted, arising from any claim made against an insured by reason of any
breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or
other act done or wrongfully attempted by the insured, in his capacity as a
director or officer of the registrant, or any of the foregoing so alleged by
any claimant, or any matter claimed against an insured solely by reason of his
being or having been a director or officer of the registrant.  The policy may
be cancelled by the insurer upon 30 days' written notice to the registrant.  To
the extent that such insurance covers liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, no waivers or undertakings are made by the registrant with respect
thereto, except as set forth in Item 9 of this Registration Statement.

               Sections 1741-1745 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law
of 1988, as amended (the "PA BCL") authorize such indemnification as described
above if the person to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Whether the
person to be indemnified acted in good faith shall be determined by members of
the Board who are not parties to such litigation, independent counsel or
shareholders.  Such indemnity shall not be allowed in a derivative suit in
which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct except to the
extent allowed by the Court of Common Pleas.  Whether such proceeding is
brought by or in the right of the registrant or otherwise, indemnification
shall be allowed only as specifically authorized by the Board in each case.

               In addition to the foregoing, Article XII of the bylaws of the
registrant limits the personal liability of directors of the registrant for
monetary damages arising out of breaches of their





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
fiduciary duties unless the conduct in question constitutes self-dealing,
willful misconduct or recklessness, all as authorized by Section 1713 of the PA
BCL.  The aforementioned provisions do not apply to the responsibility or
liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or for payment of
federal, state or local taxes.

ITEM 7.        EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

               Not applicable.

ITEM 8.        EXHIBITS.

               Reference is made to the Exhibit Index which appears at page 8
of this Registration Statement for a detailed list of the exhibits filed as a
part hereof.

ITEM 9.        UNDERTAKINGS.

               (a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                        (1)     To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

                                  (i)  To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                                 (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;

                                (iii)  To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
                                Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.

                        (2)     That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                        (3)     To remove from registration by means of
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

               (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (c)      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6
hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

               Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of West Chester, Pennsylvania, on October 10, 1996.

         Re:      Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
                  Form S-8 Registration Statement

Gentlemen:

         You have requested our opinion in connection with the filing
today of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, relating to an aggregate of 400,000 additional shares (the
"Shares") of Series A Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be offered
pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").  You have
informed us, and we have assumed for purposes of this opinion, that the Shares
may be either (i) newly issued from the Company's reserve of authorized but
previously unissued shares or (ii) previously outstanding shares acquired by
the Company.

         We have examined the Plan and such corporate records and other
documents and matters as we have considered appropriate to enable us to give
this opinion.

         Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, to
the extent they are newly issued, have been duly authorized and when issued and
sold in accordance with the provisions of the Plan will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
