<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohio law does not authorize payment of judgments to a director, officer, employee, or agent
after a finding of negligence or misconduct in a derivative suit absent a court order.
Indemnification is required, however, to the extent such person succeeds on the merits. In all
other cases, if a director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
indemnification is discretionary except as otherwise provided by a corporation&#146;s articles, code of
regulations, or by contract except with respect to the advancement of expenses of directors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Ohio law, a director 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, however, no comparable provision limiting the liability of officers,
employees, or agents of a corporation. The statutory right to indemnification is not exclusive in
Ohio, and Ohio corporations may, among other things, procure insurance for such persons.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Amended and Restated Regulations of the Registrant provide that the Registrant
shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, or employee of the Registrant or of any other bank, corporation, partnership, trust, or
other enterprise for which he was serving as a director, officer, or employee at the request of the
Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the terms of the Registrant&#146;s directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability and company
reimbursement insurance policies, directors and officers of the Registrant are insured against
certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is a party to an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive
Officer, Henry L. Meyer III, and the Registrant is party to Change of Control Agreements with
certain other executive officers pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify the
officer, to the full extent permitted or authorized by Ohio law, if the officer is made or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the officer&#146;s serving
as employee, officer, or director of the Registrant and/or any of its subsidiaries, and the
Registrant has agreed to advance expenses incurred by the officer in defending any such action,
suit, or proceeding.

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the

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.

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 incorporated under the laws of the Ohio.
Under Ohio law, Ohio corporations are authorized to indemnify directors, officers, employees,
and agents within prescribed limits and must indemnify them under certain circumstances. Ohio law
does not provide statutory authorization for a corporation to indemnify directors, officers,
employees, and agents for settlements, fines, or judgments in the context of derivative suits.
However, it 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 the director agrees to
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
Table of Contents
was done with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard
to the corporation's best interests.
Ohio law does not authorize payment of judgments to a director, officer, employee, or agent
after a finding of negligence or misconduct in a derivative suit absent a court order.
Indemnification is required, however, to the extent such person succeeds on the merits. In all
other cases, if a director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
indemnification is discretionary except as otherwise provided by a corporation's articles, code of
regulations, or by contract except with respect to the advancement of expenses of directors.
Under Ohio law, a director 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, however, no comparable provision limiting the liability of officers,
employees, or agents of a corporation. The statutory right to indemnification is not exclusive in
Ohio, and Ohio corporations may, among other things, procure insurance for such persons.
The Amended and Restated Regulations of the Registrant provide that the Registrant
shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, or employee of the Registrant or of any other bank, corporation, partnership, trust, or
other enterprise for which he was serving as a director, officer, or employee at the request of the
Registrant.
Under the terms of the Registrant's directors' and officers' liability and company
reimbursement insurance policies, directors and officers of the Registrant are insured against
certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrant is a party to an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive
Officer, Henry L. Meyer III, and the Registrant is party to Change of Control Agreements with
certain other executive officers pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify the
officer, to the full extent permitted or authorized by Ohio law, if the officer is made or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the officer's serving
as employee, officer, or director of the Registrant and/or any of its subsidiaries, and the
Registrant has agreed to advance expenses incurred by the officer in defending any such action,
suit, or proceeding.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The 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 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 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; 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 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 will 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 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 will 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 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.
