W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent, the Board of Directors of Merger Sub and the Board of Directors of the Company, have deemed it in the best interests of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, respectively, and their respective shareholders that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company consummate the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) and the other transactions provided for herein upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company (the “Major Shareholders”) have entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which each Major Shareholder has, among other things, agreed to vote the Company Common Stock held by such Major Shareholder, the number of shares of which is set forth on the signature page of the Voting Agreement, for the approval of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Merger Sub and the Board of Directors of the Company, have unanimously approved this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, in accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the “PBCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), has unanimously resolved to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, has approved and adopted this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

WHEREAS, terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 8.4, unless otherwise noted.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

SECTION 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the PBCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

SECTION 1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, articles of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the PBCL (the “Articles of Merger”) shall be duly executed by the Company and concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or such other date and time as Parent and the Company may mutually agree and include in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effects of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the PBCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.4 Subsequent Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

SECTION 1.5 Articles of Incorporation; By-Laws; Directors and Officers.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety substantially as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, and, as so amended and restated shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving

- 2 -

Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the PBCL and as provided in such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that any such amendment shall not amend the Articles of Incorporation in a manner prohibited by or inconsistent with Section 5.8.

(b) At the Effective Time, the By-Laws of the Company shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety substantially as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, and, as so amended and restated shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with PBCL and as provided in such By-Laws; provided, however, that any such amendment shall not amend the By-Laws in a manner prohibited by or inconsistent with Section 5.8.

(c) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Surviving Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, or as otherwise provided by applicable law.

SECTION 1.6 Conversion of Securities; Redemption of Securities.

(a) Conversion of Stock. The manner and basis of converting the shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) shall be as set forth in this Section 1.6(a).

(i) Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.6(a)(iii)) shall be converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation, and become exchangeable for, an amount in cash equal to $10.65 per share of Company Common Stock, without interest, (collectively the “Common Stock Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock upon which the Common Stock Merger Consideration is payable pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(i) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration.

(ii) Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(iii) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Company Common Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by or held in the treasury of the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent or Merger

- 3 -

Sub shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Redemption of Company Preferred Stock. On August 8, 2006, concurrently with the public disclosure of the proposed Merger, the Company will provide to all holders of the Company Preferred Stock a Notice of Company Change of Control Redemption, as defined in the Articles of Incorporation, and in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, any outstanding Company Preferred Stock will be redeemed by the Company pursuant to its terms, and as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the holders of any outstanding Company Preferred Stock, on behalf of the Company, the Change of Control Redemption Price, as defined, and set forth in the Articles of Incorporation (the “Preferred Stock Merger Consideration” and together with Common Stock Merger Consideration the “Merger Consideration”).

SECTION 1.7 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive, and become exchangeable for, the Common Stock Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i), for exchange in accordance with this Article I through the Exchange Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate Common Stock Merger Consideration (such consideration being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions of the Surviving Corporation, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7(b) make payments of the Common Stock Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedure for Certificates. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) that were converted into the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i): (x) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify); and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Common Stock Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Common Stock Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates

- 4 -

upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. In the event of a transfer of ownership of such Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), each Certificate (other than a Certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 1.6(a)(iii)) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Common Stock Merger Consideration, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i). No interest will be paid or will accrue on the consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificate.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time (i) all holders of Certificates that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, the Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law. The Common Stock Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates.

(d) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and only as general creditors thereof for payment of their claim for the Common Stock Merger Consideration. All rights of any former holder of Company Common Stock to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration hereunder shall, to the extent such Common Stock Merger Consideration remains unclaimed, terminate on the date that is six months prior to the date on which such unclaimed Common Stock Merger Consideration would otherwise become payable to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) No Liability. None of the Company, Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, stockholders, agents or affiliates, shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

- 5 -

(f) Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by the Surviving Corporation, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Common Stock Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(g) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may require as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Common Stock Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

SECTION 1.8 Stock Plans. The Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any of the Company’s stock option and stock incentive plans listed in Section 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each as amended (collectively, the “Stock Plans”)) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the following:

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that, at the Effective Time, (x) each then outstanding option granted under any Stock Plan, or granted other than pursuant to such Stock Plans (together, the “Options”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option and (y) each then outstanding restricted stock unit granted under any Stock Plan, whether or not then vested, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash in respect thereof equal to the Common Stock Merger Consideration (such payments to made by the Company through its customary payroll procedures and net of applicable withholding Taxes).

- 6 -

(b) Except as provided herein or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, (i) the Company shall cause the Stock Plans to terminate as of the Effective Time and cause the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant by the Company of any interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate and have no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Company shall ensure that following the Effective Time no holder of Options or other awards or any participant in the Stock Plans or anyone other than Parent shall hold or have any right to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof.

SECTION 1.9 Senior Secured Notes. The Company shall cause the principal amount of the Company’s 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Senior Notes”) to be redeemed upon, and as a condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate, the Merger, at the redemption price set forth in Section 3.7 of the Indenture governing the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which redemption will be funded by the Surviving Corporation with the proceeds of the Financing (as defined in Section 2.4).

SECTION 1.10 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will be held at the offices of Fulbright & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.L.P., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date to be designated by Parent, which shall be no later than the fifth Business Day following the date that all of the conditions precedent specified in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived by the party or parties permitted to do so, provided that in no event will the date designated by Parent be a date later than the Termination Date (such date being referred to hereinafter as the “Closing Date”). The Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to have become effective at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

(a) Subject to the limitations on indemnification contained in the PBCL, the Company and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation, shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each present and former director and officer of the Company (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary, a fiduciary under any Employee Benefit Plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby) (and the Surviving Corporation shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 5.8 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Articles of Incorporation or

- 41 -

Bylaws of the Company, or under any Pennsylvania Law or any other applicable Laws or under any agreement of such Indemnified Person with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Company and the Surviving Corporation will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(b) For a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the existing policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form disclosed by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Policy”); provided, however, that (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies issued by an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the covered persons than the Existing Policy and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under the Existing Policy. In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing Policy (or any substitute policies) exceeds 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under the Existing Policy, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing Policy (or any substitute policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under the Existing Policy. This Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding Section 8.7, this Section 5.8 is intended to be for the benefit of and to grant third-party rights to Indemnified Parties whether or not parties to this Agreement, and each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

(c) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the Indemnified Parties’ rights thereunder are adequately preserved or provided for.

SECTION 5.9 Continuation of Employee Benefits.

(a) At or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to employees of the Company and its affiliates who continue employment with Parent or any of its affiliates (“Continuing Employees”) employee benefits that are not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to the employee benefits then being provided by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent and its affiliates. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates from terminating the employment of any individual or from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.

- 42 -

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor in accordance with their terms all existing employment, severance, consulting and salary continuation agreements between the Company and any current or former officer, director, Employee or consultant of the Company or group of such officers, directors, Employees or consultants described on Section 5.9(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, the Company and each of the Company’s employees identified in Section 5.9(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule will execute and deliver on or before the date hereof the agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Amendments”).

(c) To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Continuing Employee shall be given credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of determining their eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefit accrual purposes) in any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time and for determining the period of their employment under any vacation, sick leave or other paid time off plan, as well as for determining other entitlements and terms of employment affected by seniority under the employment policies of Parent and its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits.

(d) To the extent of any changes in medical, dental or health plans covering Continuing Employees after the Effective Time, and to the extent permissible under such plans, Parent shall cause such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions were covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of the Company and (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Company plan prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 5.10 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange and to terminate registration of the Company under the Exchange Act; provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time of the Merger.
