<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pennsylvania statutory law regarding directors and officers insurance and indemnification is embodied in Chapter 17, Subchapter D (Sections
1741 through 1750) of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the &#147;PBCL&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sections 1741 (relating to
third-party actions) and 1742 (relating to derivative and corporate actions) of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent who is or was a representative of, or serving at the request of, the
corporation (a &#147;Representative&#148;), so long as the Representative acted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that his or her actions were in the best interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation, and with respect
to any criminal proceeding under Section&nbsp;1741 of the PBCL, the Representative must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In general, the power to indemnify under these sections does not exist in the case of
actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person otherwise entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless it is judicially determined that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for specified expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1743 of the PBCL provides mandatory indemnification for a present or former director or officer if he or she succeeds on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any claim or action or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. The corporation must indemnify him or her to the extent of his or her actual and reasonable expenses (including
attorney&#146;s fees) incurred in connection with the claim or action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1745 of the PBCL states that expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in defending any third-party or derivative action or proceeding may be paid by a business corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the Representative to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by the PBCL or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation&#146;s articles or
bylaws, advancement of expenses must be authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The PBCL provisions ordinarily governing transactions with interested directors or officers, or interested shareholders (Sections 1728 and 2538 of the
PBCL) do not apply to the authorization of advancement. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1746(a) states that the statutory rights of indemnification and advancement of
expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person might be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to the action in his or her official capacity and as to
the action or proceeding in another capacity while holding that office. Section&nbsp;1746(c) specifies that indemnification pursuant to Section&nbsp;1746(a) may be made even if the corporation would not have the power to make such indemnification
under other provisions of law, and may be made even in the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation. Such indemnification is declared to be consistent with Pennsylvania&#146;s public policy. However, Section&nbsp;1746(b) forbids
indemnification under subsection 1746(a) to be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim is determined by a court to be willful misconduct or recklessness. A corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation may not
provide for indemnification in the case of willful misconduct or recklessness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The PBCL, in Section&nbsp;1747, also authorizes
corporations to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a Representative or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Representative of another domestic or foreign entity, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him or her, unless otherwise restricted in its bylaws. Such insurance is declared to be consistent with Pennsylvania&#146;s public policy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1750 of the PBCL provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to Subchapter D
of the PBCL shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Representative and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of that person. Section&nbsp;1750 of the
PBCL provides that the right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles or bylaws may not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal of the provision after the occurrence of an act that is
the subject of the threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of the act
explicitly authorizes the elimination or impairment after an act has occurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;9.02 of the Registrant&#146;s bylaws provides
that a director will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office under Section&nbsp;9.01 of the
Registrant&#146;s bylaws (relating to standard of care and justifiable reliance) and the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. A director&#146;s criminal or tax liability is not limited by the
foregoing provision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;9.03 of the Registrant&#146;s bylaws requires the Registrant to indemnify any director or officer of
the Registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by law in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding for indemnification, or that may give rise to indemnification, that (1)&nbsp;is brought against a person entitled to
indemnification under Article IX of the bylaws, and (2)&nbsp;arises out of the service of that person to the Registrant, or to another enterprise at the request of the Registrant (referred to as an &#147;indemnification action&#148;). The Registrant
may not indemnify any director or officer in connection with an indemnification action initiated by that director or officer (other than a successful indemnification action to enforce that individual&#146;s right to indemnification under the
Registrant&#146;s bylaws) unless the Registrant&#146;s board authorizes the indemnification action. The right to indemnification under Section&nbsp;9.03 includes the right to be reimbursed for expenses before the final disposition of an
indemnification action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;9.06 of the Registrant&#146;s bylaws permits the Registrant to purchase insurance to protect against
any liability asserted against the Registrant or any individual, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify that individual. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and officers pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to provide for the
indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to each such indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in the applicable agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued
coverage of each such indemnitee under the Registrant&#146;s directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policies. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in each such agreement is
unavailable to the applicable indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Registrant, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by such indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under such agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such claim in

as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
