Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Ohio Revised Code, Section  1701.13(E),  allows  indemnification by the
registrant  to  any  person  made  or  threatened  to be  made  a  party  to any
proceedings,  other than a proceeding by or in the right of the  registrant,  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the registrant,  against expenses,  including judgment and fines, if he acted in
good faith and in a manner  reasonably  believed  to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the registrant and, with respect to criminal actions, in which
he had no  reasonable  cause to believe that his conduct was  unlawful.  Similar
provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the registrant, except
that no  indemnification  shall be made in such cases when the person shall have
been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct to the registrant unless
deemed otherwise by the court.  Indemnification is to be made by a majority vote
of a quorum of  disinterested  directors or the written  opinion of  independent
counsel  or by the  shareholders  or by the  court.  The  registrant's  Code  of
Regulations extends such indemnification.

Item 9.           Undertakings

     9.1 The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes 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 this Registration  Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individu ally or in
the aggregate,  represent a fundamental  change in the  information set forth in
this  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) 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
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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;  provided,
however,  that (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
included in a  post-effective  amendment  by those  paragraphs  is  contained in
periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission  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.

     9.2 The undersigned  registrant  hereby undertakes 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.

     9.3  The   undersigned   registrant   hereby   undertakes  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.

     9.4 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


<PAGE>




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.

     9.5 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   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  (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.

Item 9.           Undertakings

     9.1 The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes 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 this Registration  Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individu ally or in
the aggregate,  represent a fundamental  change in the  information set forth in
this  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) 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
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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;  provided,
however,  that (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
included in a  post-effective  amendment  by those  paragraphs  is  contained in
periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission  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.

     9.2 The undersigned  registrant  hereby undertakes 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.

     9.3  The   undersigned   registrant   hereby   undertakes  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.

     9.4 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.

     9.5 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   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  (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.

Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
