(&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (the &#147;General Corporation Law&#148;), among other things, provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any
persons who are, were or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reasons of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests,
provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director,
employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee
or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above,
the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on

Registrant will pay such director&#146;s or officer&#146;s expenses of prosecuting such claim; that
indemnification provided for by the bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the Registrant may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of a director or officer against any liability asserted such officer or
director and incurred by such officer or director in such capacity, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power to indemnify such director or office against such expense or liability under

Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
General Corporation Law
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145
("Section 145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (the "General Corporation Law"), among other things, provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any
persons who are, were or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reasons of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests,
provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director,
employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee
or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above,
the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
2
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the
personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached
his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly
violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of
Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Article XI and Article XII of the Registrant's certificate of incorporation (the
"Certificate") provides that the liability of the Registrant's officers and directors shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the General Corporation law.
Under the General Corporation Law, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant which is
not eliminated by these provisions of the Certificate and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available to the
Registrant. These provisions also do not affect the directors' responsibilities under any other
laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
Article VI of the Registrant's bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by the Registrant or in the Registrant's right), by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was a director or officer
of the Registrant serving at the Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonable incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
Article VI of the Registrant's bylaws further provides that in the event a director
or officer has to bring suit against the Registrant for indemnification and is successful, the
Registrant will pay such director's or officer's expenses of prosecuting such claim; that
indemnification provided for by the bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the Registrant may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of a director or officer against any liability asserted such officer or
director and incurred by such officer or director in such capacity, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power to indemnify such director or office against such expense or liability under
the General Corporation Law.
3
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be required or permitted
under the Registrant's Certificate of bylaws. The Registrant is not aware of any threatened
litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of the
Registrant's officers, directors and key employees.
Liability Insurance
The Registrant's directors and officers are covered under directors' and officers'
liability insurance policies maintained by the Registrant, insuring such persons against various
liabilities.

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;
5
(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 the 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 SEC 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; and
(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 1(i) and 1(ii) 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 SEC by us 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 hereby which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the 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 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
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
6
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies
that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-8 and has caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Solon, State of Ohio, on the 7
th
day of
