Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    Article V of the By-laws of the Company provides that the
Company shall indemnify, under specified circumstances, persons 
who were or are directors, officers or employees of the Company 
or who served or serve other business entities at the request 
of the Company.  Under these By-law provisions, a person who 
is wholly successful in defending a claim will be indemnified 
for any reasonable expenses.  To the extent a person is not
successful in defending a claim, reasonable expenses of the 
defense and any liability incurred are to be indemnified under 
these provisions only where independent legal counsel or other 
disinterested person selected by the Board of Directors
determines that such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, 
the best interests of the Company, and in addition with 
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no 
reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was
unlawful.  Any expense incurred with respect to any claim may 
be advanced by the Company if the recipient agrees to repay 
such amount if it is ultimately determined that such recipient 
is not to be indemnified pursuant to Article V.

    The foregoing By-law provisions generally parallel Sections
1741 and 1745 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law 
("BCL").  Section 1746 and the By-laws both also provide that 
the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed 
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

                             -49-
    
    Section 1746 of the BCL and the By-laws provide for increased
indemnification protections for directors, officers and others.
Indemnification may be provided by Pennsylvania corporations in
any case except where the act or failure to act giving rise to 
the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have 
constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

    Section 1713 of the BCL also sets forth a framework whereby
Pennsylvania corporations, with the approval of the 
shareholders, may limit the personal liability of directors 
for monetary damages except where the act or omission
giving rise to a claim constitutes self-dealing, willful
misconduct or recklessness.  The section does not apply to a 
director's responsibility or liability under a criminal or tax 
statute and may not apply to liability under Federal statutes, 
such as the Federal securities laws.

    The Company's Articles and By-laws were amended by the
shareholders to implement the increased protections made 
available to directors under the BCL as described in the 
preceding paragraph. Article VIII of the By-laws provides
that, except as prohibited by law, every director of the Company
shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by the Company for
expenses and any and all liability paid or incurred by such 
person by reason of such person being or having been a director 
of the Company.  Expenses incurred with respect to
any claim may be advanced by the Company, subject to certain
exceptions.  The shareholders have also approved a form of 
indemnity agreement.   The Company has entered into such an 
indemnity agreement with each of its current directors.

    Section 6(b) of the Underwriting Agreement, relating to each
of the Debt Securities and the Preferred Stock (Exhibit 1(a) and 
1(b), respectively, hereto) and Section 7(b) of the Agency 
Agreement (Exhibit 1(c) hereto) contain provisions relating to 
the indemnification by each Underwriter and Agent,
respectively, of the Company, its officers and directors of the
Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company, and 
Section 6(a) of such Underwriting Agreement and Section 7(a) 
of such Agency Agreement contain provisions relating to the 
indemnification by the Company of each Underwriter
and Agent, respectively, and each person controlling the same,
against liabilities arising out of any untrue statement of any 
material fact contained in this Registration Statement, or 
omission therefrom of any material fact.


    The Company has purchased a one year liability insurance
policy with an aggregate limit of $75 million, with certain  
specified deductible amounts, for liability of directors and 
officers and reimbursement to the Company for indemnification 
provided to directors and officers.  The policy has an 
expiration date of October 1, 1996 and provides liability 
insurance and reimbursement coverage for the Company, and its 
directors and officers, which is permitted by the laws of 
Pennsylvania referred to above.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

    The Company 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   .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calcu-
lation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement    ;

                             -52-  

         (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 Resgistration 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 a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering; and

    (4)  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 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.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers 
and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing 
provisions described in Item 15 above, the Company has been 
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In 
the event that a claim for indemnification against such 
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses 
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person 
of the Company 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 Company 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.

voting securities of the obligor, or are affiliates or
