ARTICLE II

Shareholders' Meetings

SECTION 1.Annual Meetings of Shareholders. An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held in each year on such date and at such time as may be set by the Board (or by an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board) for the purpose of electing directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

SECTION 2.Special Meetings of Shareholders. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board (or by an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board). A special meeting of the shareholders may also be called by the holders of at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting. In addition, a special meeting of the holders of Preferred Shares or any series thereof for the purpose of electing directors who may be elected by such holders or taking any other action that such holders may take, as provided by the Articles, may be called as provided in the Articles. At any time, upon written request of any person or persons entitled to call and who have duly called a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to set the date of the meeting, if such date has not been set by the Board, on a day not more than sixty days after the receipt of the request, and to give due notice of such meeting to the shareholders. If the Secretary shall neglect or refuse to set the date of the meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so. For purposes of this Article II, Section 2, a request shall be deemed given by a requesting shareholder(s) at such time as (i) the requesting shareholder(s) shall have delivered to the Secretary documentation that demonstrates that such requesting shareholder(s) is the holder of at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting

and (ii) the Secretary shall have had a period of 15 days following receipt of such documentation (or such lesser period as the Secretary determines is sufficient) to review and establish, to the Secretary's reasonable satisfaction, the adequacy thereof. Not later than 15 days following receipt by the Secretary of the information described in the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall advise the shareholder(s) of any deficiencies in such information. The requesting shareholder(s) may cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice from the Secretary, failing which the request shall be deemed invalid.

SECTION 3.Place and Notice of Meetings of Shareholders. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation unless the Board (or an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board) shall decide otherwise, in which case such meetings may be held at such location within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the Board may from time to time direct. The Board, in its sole discretion (or an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board, in his or her sole discretion) may determine that any meeting of shareholders be held solely by means of the Internet or other electronic communications technology in a manner pursuant to which shareholders have the opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with their occurrence, vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, pose questions to the directors of the Corporation, make appropriate motions and comment on the business of the meeting. Written notice of the place, day, and hour of all meetings of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, of the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the particular meeting either personally or by sending a copy of the notice through the mail or by overnight courier to the address of the shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or supplied by such shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice or by other means including electronic means permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided by the Bylaws or by law, such notice shall be given at least 10 days before the date of the meeting by the President, Vice President, or Secretary. A waiver in writing of any written notice required to be given, signed by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a person, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

SECTION 4.Nominations by Shareholders of Candidates for Election as Directors. In addition to the nomination by the Board of candidates for election to the Board as hereinafter provided, candidates may be nominated by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any meeting called for the election of directors. Nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board, shall be made in writing and shall be received by the Secretary of the Corporation (i) with respect to an election of directors to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders (provided that, if the date of the annual meeting of shareholders is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholder nomination shall be received within 15 days after the public announcement by the Corporation of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders), and (ii), with respect to an election of directors to be held at a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders or public disclosure of the meeting is first made, whichever is earlier. Such nomination shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying shareholder:

(a)the name, age, business address, and residence address of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder;

(b)

the principal occupation of each proposed nominee;

(c)a representation that the notifying shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the proposed nominee or nominees specified in the notice;

(e)whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(f)whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(g)a description of all arrangements or understandings between the notifying 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 notifying shareholder;

(h)a description of all compensatory, payment or other financial agreements, arrangements or understandings between each proposed nominee and any person or entity other than the Corporation in connection with or related to the Corporation;

(j)such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors; and

(k)the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected.

The Corporation may request any such proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the qualifications of the proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Within 15 days following the receipt by the Secretary of a shareholder notice of nomination pursuant hereto, the nominating, governance and social responsibility committee shall instruct the Secretary of the Corporation to advise the notifying shareholder of any deficiencies in the notice as determined by the Committee. The notifying shareholder shall cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice. No persons shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the Bylaws. Nominations not made in accordance with the Bylaws may, in the discretion of the presiding officer at the meeting and with the advice of the nominating, governance and social responsibility committee of the Board, be disregarded by the presiding officer and, upon his or her instructions, all votes cast for each such nominee may be disregarded; the determinations of the presiding officer at the meeting with respect to such matters shall be conclusive and binding upon all shareholders of the Corporation for all purposes.

SECTION 5.Advance Notice of Other Matters to be Presented by Shareholders. At any annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders, only such business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this paragraph may be transacted. To be properly brought before any meeting, any proposed business must be either (a) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) if brought before the meeting by a shareholder, then written notification of such proposed business must have been received by the Secretary of the Corporation from a shareholder of record on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting (i), with respect to business to be proposed at an annual meeting of shareholders, not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders (provided, that, if the date of the annual meeting of shareholders is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, the notification must have been received within 15 days after the public announcement by the Corporation of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders) and (ii) with respect to business to be proposed at a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders or public disclosure of the meeting is made, whichever is earlier. Such shareholder notification shall set forth the nature of and reasons for the proposal in reasonable detail, and shall include the proposed text of any proposal regarding such business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment), and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting, and, as to the shareholder giving notification, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made,

(1)the name and address of such persons;

(2)the class and series of all shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned of

record by such persons and any affiliates or associates of such persons;

(3)the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such persons or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder;

(4)whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(5)whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(6)a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between or among such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with or relating to (A) the Corporation or (B) the proposal, including any material interest in, or anticipated benefit from the proposal to such person, or any affiliates or associates of such persons;

(7)a representation that the shareholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual or special meeting to bring such business before such meeting; and

Within 15 days following receipt by the Secretary of a shareholder notification of proposed business pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall advise the shareholder of any deficiencies in the notification. The notifying shareholder may cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice, failing which the shareholder's notification shall be deemed invalid.

SECTION 6.Quorum for Shareholder Meetings. At any meeting of the stockholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast upon a matter shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business upon such matter, and the stockholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, 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.

SECTION 7.Votes Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles or by law, every stockholder of record shall have the right, at every stockholders' meeting, to one vote for every share standing in his name on the books of the Corporation. Except as may be explicitly provided for by the Articles with respect to the election of one or more directors by holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, in the election of directors stockholders shall be entitled to cast for any candidate for election as a director only one vote per share and shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes and cast them for one candidate or distribute them among any two or more candidates.

SECTION 8.Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. A proxy may be submitted to the Secretary by a stockholder in writing, by telephone, electronically or any other means permitted by law.

SECTION 9.Required Vote for Shareholder Action. Except in respect of the election of directors (as to which a plurality vote shall be required) and subject to Section 11 of this Article II, all questions submitted to the stockholders and all actions by the stockholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the shareholders present, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders present are entitled to vote on the matter, unless otherwise provided by the Articles, the Bylaws or by law. For purposes of this section, in the event that a holder of shares of a class or series that is entitled to vote on a matter is present in person or by proxy at a meeting but is not permitted by reason of a legal disability or by a contractual restriction or otherwise to vote the shares such holder holds on such matter, the shares held by such holder and not so permitted to be voted shall nevertheless be considered entitled to vote and present for purposes of determining the number of votes required for stockholder action.

SECTION 10. Ballots; Judges of Election. Elections for directors need not be by ballot except on demand made by a stockholder at the election and before the voting begins. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board may appoint judges of election who need not be stockholders to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, and if such appointment is not made, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on request of any stockholder or his proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of judges shall be one or three and, if appointed at a meeting on request of one or more stockholders or their proxies, the majority of the shares present and entitled to vote shall determine whether one or three judges are to be appointed. No person who is a candidate for office shall act as a judge. In case any person appointed as judge fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the convening of the meeting or at the meeting by the person or officer acting as chairman of the meeting. On request of the chairman of the meeting or of any stockholder or his proxy, the judges shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.

SECTION 11. Action Without a Meeting.

(a)To the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders or of a class or series of stockholders may be taken without a meeting of the stockholders or of such class or series of stockholders upon the consent in writing signed by such stockholders who would have been entitled to vote the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all the stockholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. The consents shall be filed with the Secretary.

(b)In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than 30 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 30 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date and the record as so established by the Board of Directors shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 30 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 30 days of the date on which such a request is received, subject to the shareholder's compliance with Article II, Section 11(c), the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the close of business on the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the shareholders are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(b)Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominations of Candidates for Election as Directors and Other Matters Presented by Shareholders to be Acted on by Written Consent. In addition to the provisions of Article II, Section 11(b) regarding the requirement that a shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall request the Board of Directors to fix a record date, in connection with any such authorization of corporate action by written consent, only such nominations of candidates for election as directors (as and to the extent such candidates are permitted to be elected by action by written consent) and other business as is properly the subject of such an action by written consent of shareholders in accordance with this paragraph may be transacted. To be properly the subject of an action by written consent of shareholders, any nominations of candidates for election as directors and other proposed business to be effected by means of such action by written consent must be either (a) specified in the notice of the solicitation of written consents (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) if to be acted upon at the request of a shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent, then written notification of such proposed business must have been received by the Secretary of the Corporation from such shareholder of record not later than the close of business on the 30th day prior to the record date set in accordance with Article II, Section 11(b) for the determination of shareholders entitled to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting with respect to the election of such candidates for director or the taking of such corporate action; provided, however, that (i) if the Board of Directors fixes a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting that is less than 30 days after a request therefor is made pursuant to Article II, Section 11(b), then written notification of such proposed business must have been received by the Secretary of the Corporation from such shareholder of record not later than the close of business on the 15th day prior to such record date or (ii) if no such record date is fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article II, Section 11(b), then

written notification of such proposed business must have been received by the Secretary of the Corporation from such shareholder of record not later than the record date as otherwise established in accordance with Article II, Section 11(b). Such shareholder notification shall (i) to the extent such notification relates to proposed business other than the nomination of candidates for election as directors, set forth (a) the nature of and reasons for the proposal in reasonable detail, and shall include the proposed text of any proposal regarding such business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment), and (b) the reasons for conducting such business by action by written consent, (ii) as to the shareholder giving notification, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the notification is being made,

(a)the name and address of such persons;

(b)the class and series of all shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned of record by such persons and any affiliates or associates of such persons;

(c)the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such persons or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder;

(d)whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(e)whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;

(f)a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between or among such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with or relating to (A) the Corporation or (B) the proposal, including any material interest in, or anticipated benefit from the proposal to such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons; and

(g)any other information relating to such persons that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies by such persons with respect to the proposed business to be brought by such persons before an annual meeting pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

and (iii) to the extent such notification relates to the nomination of candidates for election as directors, set forth the information specified in subclauses (a), (b), (g), (h) , (i), (j) and (k) of Article II, Section 4 of these Bylaws. Within 15 days following receipt by the Secretary of a shareholder

notification of nominations of candidates for election as directors or other proposed business to be acted on by written consent pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall advise the shareholder of any deficiencies in the notification. The notifying shareholder may cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice, failing which the shareholder's notification shall be deemed invalid.

SECTION 12. Shareholder Participation by Electronic Means. The right of any shareholder to participate in any shareholder meeting by means of conference telephone, the Internet or other electronic means shall be granted solely in the discretion of the Board. Shareholders so participating shall be deemed present at such meeting.

(i)for any responsibility or liability of such director pursuant to any criminal statute, or

(ii)for any liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.

SECTION 2.Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents.

(i)

is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or

(ii)

while a director or officer of the Corporation, either

(A)serves or served as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee or agent of any subsidiary of the Corporation or other related enterprise at the request of the Corporation or in connection with a related employee benefit plan of the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation or any such enterprise,

A resolution or other action by the Corporation or subsidiary electing, nominating or proposing a person to a position referred to in this subsection 2(a) shall constitute a specific written request of the Corporation sufficient for the purposes of this Section. Upon written request of a person claiming to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and specifying the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement against which indemnity is sought, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days of its receipt of such request, make a determination, in such manner as is required by law, as to the entitlement of such person to indemnification against such expenses as provided by this subsection 2(a). Such a determination, however, shall not be conclusive as to such person's entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this subsection 2(a) and such person may seek to enforce an entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this subsection 2(a) by appropriate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction by showing that, notwithstanding such determination, such person satisfied the standard of conduct required by law to be satisfied in order for such person to be entitled to indemnification from the Corporation as permitted by law.

Expenses reasonably incurred by a person referred to in subsection 2(a) above in defending or responding to a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount to the extent it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation against such expenses or, in the case of a criminal action in which a judgment has been entered against such person, the Board of Directors so determines.

(c)Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, upon authorization by the board of directors, the President or any other officer designated by the board of directors, indemnify, or agree to indemnify, and advance expenses to any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to the same extent (or any lesser extent) to which it may indemnify and advance expenses to a director or officer of the Corporation in accordance with subsection 2(b) above.

(d)Non-Exclusivity. The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person

indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise, the Corporation having the express authority to enter such agreements or make other provision for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to any or all of its representatives as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, including corporate policies and the creation of one or more funds or equivalent guarantees for indemnity payments and or expense advancements to present or future indemnified persons.

(e)Continuing Contractual Rights.

Without limiting any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article IX is intended to limit, determine or address the merits or substance of any action or proceeding (including, whether any action or proceeding should be commenced or maintained against the Corporation or against any of the Corporation’s directors,

officers, shareholders, employees or agents, or whether any particular type or form of remedy or relief should be sought or is available against the Corporation or against any of its directors, officers or employees), but instead, the provisions of this Article IX are solely procedural in nature and govern only the exclusive location, forum and venue for the commencement of actions and proceedings expressly enumerated in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article IX. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Article IX with respect to any current or future actions or claims.
