</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Ohio law, Ohio corporations are authorized to indemnify directors, officers, employees
and agents within prescribed limits and must indemnify them under certain circumstances. Section
1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code (the &#147;Code&#148;) sets forth the conditions and limitations
governing the indemnification of officers, directors, and other persons.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohio law generally permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation,
however, a corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct unless and to the extent that an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity. In all of the above instances, however, indemnification is
required against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that such person succeeds
on the merits or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;1701.59(D) of the Code, a director generally is not liable for monetary damages
unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his action or failure to act was
undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for
the best interests of the corporation. There is no comparable provision, however, limiting the
liability of officers, employees or agents of a corporation. Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the Code
provides that directors (but not officers, employees and agents) are entitled to mandatory
advancement of expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred in defending any action, including
derivative actions, brought against the director provided that the director agrees to reasonably
cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the amount advanced if it is
proved by clear and convincing evidence that his act or failure to act was done with deliberate
intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard to the corporation&#146;s best
interests.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification authorized by statute is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any
rights to indemnity to which a given person is entitled, including rights under an Ohio
corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation, code of regulations and other agreements. Additionally,
Ohio corporations may procure insurance or similar protection on behalf of directors, officers,
employees or agents of the corporation whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify them under Section&nbsp;1701.13.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of the Company&#146;s Amended Code of Regulations also governs the indemnification of
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company. In general, Article&nbsp;VI
provides for indemnification of shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Company for third-party claims and for claims by or in the right of the corporation to the fullest
extent authorized or permitted by law. Article&nbsp;VI also provides that, to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by law, an indemnified individual will generally be liable to the Company
or to any other person for actions or omissions in any capacity at the request of or on behalf of
the Company only if those actions or omissions amount to willful misconduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employment agreements entered into by the Company with certain of its executives generally
provide that the executive will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Ohio law.
Additionally, the Company maintains a directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance policy which insures the
directors and officers of the Company from claims arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such
persons in their respective capacities as directors and officers of the Company, subject to certain
exceptions.

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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ohio law generally permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation,
however, a corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct unless and to the extent that an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity. In all of the above instances, however, indemnification is
required against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that such person succeeds
on the merits or otherwise.
Under Section 1701.59(D) of the Code, a director generally is not liable for monetary damages
unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his action or failure to act was
undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for
the best interests of the corporation. There is no comparable provision, however, limiting the
liability of officers, employees or agents of a corporation. Section 1701.13(E) of the Code
provides that directors (but not officers, employees and agents) are entitled to mandatory
advancement of expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending any action, including
derivative actions, brought against the director provided that the director agrees to reasonably
cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the amount advanced if it is
proved by clear and convincing evidence that his act or failure to act was done with deliberate
intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard to the corporation's best
interests.
The indemnification authorized by statute is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any
rights to indemnity to which a given person is entitled, including rights under an Ohio
corporation's articles of incorporation, code of regulations and other agreements. Additionally,
Ohio corporations may procure insurance or similar protection on behalf of directors, officers,
employees or agents of the corporation whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify them under Section 1701.13.
4
Article VI of the Company's Amended Code of Regulations also governs the indemnification of
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company. In general, Article VI
provides for indemnification of shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Company for third-party claims and for claims by or in the right of the corporation to the fullest
extent authorized or permitted by law. Article VI also provides that, to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by law, an indemnified individual will generally be liable to the Company
or to any other person for actions or omissions in any capacity at the request of or on behalf of
the Company only if those actions or omissions amount to willful misconduct.
The employment agreements entered into by the Company with certain of its executives generally
provide that the executive will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Ohio law.
Additionally, the Company maintains a directors' and officers' insurance policy which insures the
directors and officers of the Company from claims arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such
persons in their respective capacities as directors and officers of the Company, subject to certain
exceptions.
The above description is a general summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to applicable provisions of Ohio law, as well as by the Company's articles of incorporation and
code of regulations and applicable agreements between the Company and its directors and officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are incorporated herein by reference.
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 of 1933;
(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 Securities and Exchange 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;
5
(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 Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) 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.
(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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 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.
(c) 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
