with reckless disregard for the corporation&#146;s best interests.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Sixth of the Registrant&#146;s articles of incorporation provides for indemnification of
directors and officers. The provision provides that a director will not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent that an exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the Ohio
Revised Code. Article&nbsp;Sixth provides that each director and officer will, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, be indemnified except as may be otherwise provided in the Registrant&#146;s
code of regulations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s code of regulations provides that it shall indemnify directors and officers
and may indemnify other employees or agents in any action, suit or proceeding by others (other than
an action by or in the right of the Registrant) for expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant&#146;s best interests. The
Registrant&#146;s code of regulations also provides that it shall indemnify directors and officers and
may indemnify other employees and agents in any action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant
for expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. No indemnification
will be made, however, where such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of such person&#146;s duties to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the court
in which an action is brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant&#146;s code of regulations permits it to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of its officers, directors, employees and agents against liability asserted
against them in their capacities as such. The Registrant&#146;s code of regulations also provides that
no modification of any regulations pertaining to indemnification rights of directors and officers
shall adversely affect or impair in any way the indemnification rights of any current or former
director or officer with respect to any action, suit or proceeding relating to matters occurring
prior to the adoption of such modification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements (&#147;<B><I>Indemnification Agreements</I></B>&#148;) with
each of its directors and each of its executive officers, including the named executive officers
(&#147;<B><I>Indemnitees</I></B>&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, the Indemnification Agreements provide that, subject to the procedures,
limitations and exceptions set forth therein (i)&nbsp;the Registrant will indemnify the Indemnitee for
all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by the Indemnitee

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the 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 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth

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
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 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is an Ohio corporation. Under Section 1701.13 of the Ohio Revised Code, Ohio
corporations are permitted to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents within prescribed
limits and must indemnify them under certain circumstances. The Ohio Revised Code does not
authorize the payment by a corporation of judgments against a director, officer, employee or agent
after a finding of negligence or misconduct in a derivative suit absent a court order determining
that such person succeeds
Table of Contents
on the merits. In all other cases, if it is determined that a director, officer, employee or
agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the corporation, indemnification is discretionary except as otherwise provided
by a corporation's articles of incorporation, code of regulations or contract, and except with
respect to the advancement of expenses of directors.
With respect to the advancement of expenses, the Ohio Revised Code provides that a director
(but not an officer, employee or agent) is entitled to mandatory advancement of expenses, including
attorney's fees, incurred in defending any action, including derivative actions, brought against
the director, provided that the director agrees to cooperate with the corporation concerning the
matter and to repay the amount advanced if it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that his
or her act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or
with reckless disregard for the corporation's best interests.
Article Sixth of the Registrant's articles of incorporation provides for indemnification of
directors and officers. The provision provides that a director will not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent that an exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the Ohio
Revised Code. Article Sixth provides that each director and officer will, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, be indemnified except as may be otherwise provided in the Registrant's
code of regulations.
The Registrant's code of regulations provides that it shall indemnify directors and officers
and may indemnify other employees or agents in any action, suit or proceeding by others (other than
an action by or in the right of the Registrant) for expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best interests. The
Registrant's code of regulations also provides that it shall indemnify directors and officers and
may indemnify other employees and agents in any action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant
for expenses (including attorney's fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. No indemnification
will be made, however, where such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of such person's duties to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the court
in which an action is brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity.
In addition, the Registrant's code of regulations permits it to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of its officers, directors, employees and agents against liability asserted
against them in their capacities as such. The Registrant's code of regulations also provides that
no modification of any regulations pertaining to indemnification rights of directors and officers
shall adversely affect or impair in any way the indemnification rights of any current or former
director or officer with respect to any action, suit or proceeding relating to matters occurring
prior to the adoption of such modification.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements ("
Indemnification Agreements
") with
each of its directors and each of its executive officers, including the named executive officers
("
Indemnitees
").
In general, the Indemnification Agreements provide that, subject to the procedures,
limitations and exceptions set forth therein (i) the Registrant will indemnify the Indemnitee for
all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with
2
Table of Contents
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, by reason of the fact
that the Indemnitee is or was a director and/or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at
the request of the Registrant at another entity, or by reason of any action alleged to have been
taken or omitted in any such capacity, including any appeal of or from any judgment or decision,
(ii) the Registrant will indemnify the Indemnitee against any amount that the Indemnitee is or
becomes obligated to pay relating to or arising out of any claim made against the Indemnitee
because of any act, failure to act or neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged
error, misstatement or misleading statement, that the Indemnitee commits, suffers, permits or
acquiesces in while acting in his capacity as a director and/or officer of the Registrant or at the
request of the Registrant at another entity, (iii) the Registrant will advance expenses as they are
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defending a claim in advance of the final
disposition of a claim, and (iv) the Registrant will maintain an insurance policy or policies
providing directors' and officers' liability insurance that covers the Indemnitee.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) 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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the 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 20 percent 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(3) 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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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
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.
