section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference

Act of 1933 (&#147;Act&#148;) may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to above or
otherwise, the Company 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
against the Company in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company 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.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009;
(2) All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or

(3) The Company's Proxy Statement dated April 29, 2010; and
(4) The "Description of Capital Stock" incorporated by reference in the

including any amendments or reports filed to update such description.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d)

the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities

Item 4. Description of Securities
N/A
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
Legal matters in connection with the issuance of the Company's Capital
Stock offered hereby have been passed upon by Naomi C. Dallob, 2600 Chemed
Center, 255 East 5th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202. Ms. Dallob is Vice
President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, and a stockholder of the Company.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and
separate Indemnity Agreements, provide for the indemnification of each director
and officer of the Company in connection with any claim, action, suit or
proceeding brought or threatened by reason of his position with the Company. In
addition, the General Corporation Law of the
II-1
State of Delaware ("Delaware Law") permits the Company to indemnify its
directors, officers and others against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees resulting from various types of legal actions or
proceedings if the actions of the party being indemnified meet the standards of
conduct specified in the Delaware Law. The Company also maintains directors and
officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to above or otherwise, the
Company 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.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (1) to file, during any
period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement to include
II-2
any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution; (2)
for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering; and (3) it will file a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities which remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to above or
otherwise, the Company 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
against the Company in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company 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.
