        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 our best interests 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. Indemnifications are 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&#8217;s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations extends such indemnification and provides indemnification to any person who was
        or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by

        to our best interests 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. Indemnifications are 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 Amended and Restated Code of Regulations extends such indemnification and provides indemnification to any person who was
        or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by
        reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or member of a committee of the Registrant or that, being or having been such a director or officer of the Registrant, he or she is or was serving at the request of an executive
        officer of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
        benefit plan.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the Ohio Revised Code and the Registrant's Amended and Restated Code of Regulations and are qualified in their entirety by reference
        thereto.
The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors providing for indemnification against certain liabilities to the fullest extent permitted under Ohio
        law.
In addition, the Registrant provides directors and officers insurance against certain liabilities incurred by its directors and officers, subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance
        policies.
