and agents of Ohio corporations have an absolute right to indemnification for expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to the extent they are successful in defense of the action, suit or proceeding,
including derivative actions, brought against them, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
asserted in any such action, suit or proceeding. A director, officer, employee or agent is
entitled to such indemnification if such person&#146;s success is &#147;on the merits or otherwise.&#148;
Directors (but not officers, employees or agents) are entitled to mandatory payment of expenses by
a corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or
proceeding, provided the directors agree to cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter
and to repay the amount advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that the
directors&#146; act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation
or 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;Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to indemnify directors, officers,
employees or agents of the corporation or individuals who are or were serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another
corporation or entity in circumstances where indemnification is not mandated by the statute if
certain statutory standards are satisfied. A corporation may grant indemnification in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, investigative

a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the indemnitee&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is permitted against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. A
corporation may also provide indemnification in derivative actions for expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
an action or suit if the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.
Ohio law does not expressly authorize indemnification against judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement of derivative actions. A corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent in derivative actions for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) if such person is adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person&#146;s duties to the
corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that, despite the adjudication
of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity as the court deems proper. In addition, a corporation may not
indemnify a director in any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against the
director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions of assets under Section
1701.95 of the OGCL.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to pay expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees) incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent as they are incurred, in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the corporation&#146;s directors
and upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the OGCL states that the indemnification provided thereby is not
exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights granted to persons seeking indemnification

shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the OGCL grants express power to a corporation to purchase and maintain

whether that individual is otherwise eligible for indemnification by the corporation.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Code of Regulations (the &#147;Regulations&#148;) provides for broader indemnification
than specifically afforded under Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the OGCL. The Regulations provide that the
Registrant must indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees,
filing fees, court reporters&#146; fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any pending, threatened or completed
action, suit or proceeding (whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative and whether a
derivative suit or not) by reason of the fact that any such individual is or was a director,

giving rise to the claim for indemnification was not occasioned by such individual&#146;s intent to
cause injury to, or by such individual&#146;s reckless disregard for the best interests of, the
Registrant and, with respect to any criminal matter, such individual had no reasonable cause to
believe such individual&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The Regulations forbid the Registrant from
indemnifying an officer or director in a derivative action if such person is adjudged to be liable
for an act or omission occasioned by such person&#146;s deliberate intent to cause injury to, or by such
person&#146;s reckless disregard for the best interests of, the Registrant unless and only to the extent
the Court of Common Pleas in Franklin County, Ohio, or the court in which the action was brought,
despite such adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances, concludes that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnity as the court deems proper.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Regulations recite a presumption (which may only be rebutted by clear and convincing
evidence) that no act or omission by a person claiming indemnification was occasioned by an intent
to cause injury to, or by a reckless disregard for the best interests of, the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal matter, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, does not, by itself,
rebut this presumption.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Regulations state that, to the extent an officer or director is successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such officer or director must be promptly indemnified by the Registrant against
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys&#146; fees, filing fees, court reporters&#146; fees and
transcript costs) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

fees, filing fees, court reporters&#146; fees and transcript costs) must be paid by the Registrant in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding to or on behalf of the officer
or director promptly as such expenses are incurred, but only if such officer or director first
agrees, in writing, to repay all amounts so paid in respect of any claim, issue or other matter
asserted in such action, suit or proceeding in defense of which such person shall have not been
successful on the merits or otherwise, if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court
of competent jurisdiction that, in respect of any such claim, issue or other matter, such person&#146;s
relevant action or failure to act was occasioned by his or her deliberate intent to cause injury to
the Registrant or his or her reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant, unless,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally obligate the Registrant to hold
harmless and indemnify such directors and executive officers against specified expenses and
liabilities they may incur in the performance of their duties to the greatest extent permitted by
Ohio law, provided that (1)&nbsp;such directors and executive officers acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant
and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful and (2)&nbsp;with respect to proceedings by or in the right of the Registrant (a)&nbsp;such
executive officers were not adjudged to be liable to the Registrant for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of their duties to the Registrant or (b)&nbsp;such directors were not adjudged to be
liable to the Registrant for (i)&nbsp;an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause
injury to the Registrant or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant or
(ii)&nbsp;approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions of assets under Section&nbsp;1701.95 of the
OGCL. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant to advance expenses to a director
or executive officer prior to the final disposition of a proceeding if specified conditions are
satisfied. The indemnification agreements provide procedures for determining a director&#146;s or
executive officer&#146;s entitlement to indemnification and specify certain remedies relating to
indemnification and advancement of expenses. The indemnification agreements do not exclude any
other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which a director or executive officer
may be entitled under the Registrant&#146;s Amended Articles of Incorporation or Regulations, applicable
law (including the OGCL), any insurance policy, any contract or otherwise.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains, and in the future may continue to maintain, insurance to insure its
present or former directors, officers and employees against liabilities and expenses arising out of
any claim or breach of duty, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other acts done
by reasons of their being such directors, officers or employees of the Registrant.

Item 4. Description of Securities
.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code (the "OGCL"), directors, officers, employees
and agents of Ohio corporations have an absolute right to indemnification for expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to the extent they are successful in defense of the action, suit or proceeding,
including derivative actions, brought against them, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
asserted in any such action, suit or proceeding. A director, officer, employee or agent is
entitled to such indemnification if such person's success is "on the merits or otherwise."
Directors (but not officers, employees or agents) are entitled to mandatory payment of expenses by
a corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or
proceeding, provided the directors agree to cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter
and to repay the amount advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that the
directors' 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.
Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to indemnify directors, officers,
employees or agents of the corporation or individuals who are or were serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another
corporation or entity in circumstances where indemnification is not mandated by the statute if
certain statutory standards are satisfied. A corporation may grant indemnification in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, investigative
-4-
or administrative, other than derivative actions, if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in
a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is permitted against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. A
corporation may also provide indemnification in derivative actions for expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
an action or suit if the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.
Ohio law does not expressly authorize indemnification against judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement of derivative actions. A corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent in derivative actions for expenses (including attorneys' fees) if such person is adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duties to the
corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that, despite the adjudication
of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity as the court deems proper. In addition, a corporation may not
indemnify a director in any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against the
director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions of assets under Section
1701.95 of the OGCL.
Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to pay expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent as they are incurred, in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the corporation's directors
and upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL states that the indemnification provided thereby is not
exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights granted to persons seeking indemnification
under a corporation's articles or regulations, any agreement, a vote of the corporation's
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL grants express power to a corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance or furnish similar protection, including, but not limited to, trust funds, letters of
credit and self-insurance, for director, officer, employee or agent liability, regardless of
whether that individual is otherwise eligible for indemnification by the corporation.
The Registrant's Code of Regulations (the "Regulations") provides for broader indemnification
than specifically afforded under Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL. The Regulations provide that the
Registrant must indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees,
filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any pending, threatened or completed
action, suit or proceeding (whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative and whether a
derivative suit or not) by reason of the fact that any such individual is or was a director,
officer, employee, agent or volunteer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, agent or
-5-
volunteer of another corporation or other entity so long as such individual's act or omission
giving rise to the claim for indemnification was not occasioned by such individual's intent to
cause injury to, or by such individual's reckless disregard for the best interests of, the
Registrant and, with respect to any criminal matter, such individual had no reasonable cause to
believe such individual's conduct was unlawful. The Regulations forbid the Registrant from
indemnifying an officer or director in a derivative action if such person is adjudged to be liable
for an act or omission occasioned by such person's deliberate intent to cause injury to, or by such
person's reckless disregard for the best interests of, the Registrant unless and only to the extent
the Court of Common Pleas in Franklin County, Ohio, or the court in which the action was brought,
despite such adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances, concludes that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnity as the court deems proper.
The Regulations recite a presumption (which may only be rebutted by clear and convincing
evidence) that no act or omission by a person claiming indemnification was occasioned by an intent
to cause injury to, or by a reckless disregard for the best interests of, the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal matter, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, does not, by itself,
rebut this presumption.
The Regulations state that, to the extent an officer or director is successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such officer or director must be promptly indemnified by the Registrant against
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and
transcript costs) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
The Regulations state that an indemnitee's expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs) must be paid by the Registrant in
advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding to or on behalf of the officer
or director promptly as such expenses are incurred, but only if such officer or director first
agrees, in writing, to repay all amounts so paid in respect of any claim, issue or other matter
asserted in such action, suit or proceeding in defense of which such person shall have not been
successful on the merits or otherwise, if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court
of competent jurisdiction that, in respect of any such claim, issue or other matter, such person's
relevant action or failure to act was occasioned by his or her deliberate intent to cause injury to
the Registrant or his or her reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant, unless,
and only to the extent that, the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio or the court in
which such action or suit was brought determines that, despite such determination and in view of
all of the circumstances, such officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled to all or part
of such indemnification.
The Regulations state that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of, and is in
addition to, any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the
Registrant's articles or regulations, any agreement, a vote of the Registrant's disinterested
directors or otherwise. Additionally, the Regulations provide that the Registrant may purchase and
maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any person who
-6-
is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or volunteer of the Registrant, or who is or
was serving as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, agent or volunteer of
another corporation or entity at the request of the Registrant, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the obligation or power to indemnify such
person under the Regulations. The Regulations also authorize the Registrant to purchase and
maintain trust funds, letters of credit or self-insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or volunteer of the Registrant or who is serving or has served
another entity at the Registrant's request.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally obligate the Registrant to hold
harmless and indemnify such directors and executive officers against specified expenses and
liabilities they may incur in the performance of their duties to the greatest extent permitted by
Ohio law, provided that (1) such directors and executive officers acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant
and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful and (2) with respect to proceedings by or in the right of the Registrant (a) such
executive officers were not adjudged to be liable to the Registrant for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of their duties to the Registrant or (b) such directors were not adjudged to be
liable to the Registrant for (i) an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause
injury to the Registrant or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant or
(ii) approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions of assets under Section 1701.95 of the
OGCL. The indemnification agreements also require the Registrant to advance expenses to a director
or executive officer prior to the final disposition of a proceeding if specified conditions are
satisfied. The indemnification agreements provide procedures for determining a director's or
executive officer's entitlement to indemnification and specify certain remedies relating to
indemnification and advancement of expenses. The indemnification agreements do not exclude any
other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which a director or executive officer
may be entitled under the Registrant's Amended Articles of Incorporation or Regulations, applicable
law (including the OGCL), any insurance policy, any contract or otherwise.
The Registrant maintains, and in the future may continue to maintain, insurance to insure its
present or former directors, officers and employees against liabilities and expenses arising out of
any claim or breach of duty, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other acts done
by reasons of their being such directors, officers or employees of the Registrant.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(l)
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
-9-
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
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 (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 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.
(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
provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II, 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 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
-10-
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.
