     1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES. Certificates representing shares shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the President or a Vice-President and by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer, or an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation, shall certify the number and class of shares represented thereby, and shall set forth the statements prescribed by Section 1701.25 of the Revised Code of Ohio (“General Corporation Law”). When any such certificate is countersigned by an incorporated transfer agent or registrar, the signature of any of said officers of the Corporation may be facsimile, engraved, stamped, or printed. Although any officer of the Corporation whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate ceases to be such officer before the certificate is delivered, such certificate nevertheless shall be effective in all respects when delivered.
     A certificate representing shares shall not be executed or delivered until the share or shares represented thereby are fully paid.
     The corporation may issue a new certificate for shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and the Board may require the owner of any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.
     2. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The Corporation may but need not execute and deliver a certificate for or including a fraction of a share; or, in lieu thereof, may pay to the person otherwise entitled to become a holder of a fraction of a share an amount in cash specified as the value thereof in a resolution of the Directors, or other agreement or instrument pursuant to which such fraction of a share would otherwise be issued, or, if not specified, then the amount determined for such purpose by the Directors or the amount realized upon sale of such fraction of a share; or provide reasonable means to afford to such person the opportunity, on specified terms and conditions, to purchase or sell fractional interests in shares, to the exclusion of all rights he might otherwise have; or execute and deliver registered or bearer scrip over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Corporation or of its agent for that purpose, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip shall not entitle the holder to any rights as a shareholder except as therein provided. The scrip may provide that it shall become void unless the rights of the holders are exercised within a specified period and may contain any other provisions that the Corporation deems advisable. Whenever any such scrip ceases to be exchangeable for full shares, the shares that would otherwise have been issuable as therein provided shall be deemed to be treasury shares unless the scrip contains other provision for their disposition.

For any lawful purpose, including, without limitation, the determination of the shareholders who are entitled to: (1) receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders; (2) receive payment of any dividend or distribution; (3) receive or exercise rights or purchase of or subscription for, or exchange or conversion of, shares or other securities, subject to contract rights with respect thereto; or (4) participate in the execution of written consents, waivers, or releases, the Board of Directors may fix a record dare which shall not be a date earlier than the date on which the record date is fixed and in the cases provided for in clauses (1), (2), and (3) above, shall not be more than sixty days, preceding the date of the meeting of the shareholders, or the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or the date diced for the receipt of the exercise of rights, as the case may be. The record date for the purpose of clause (1) above, shall continue to be the record date for all adjournments of such meeting unless the Directors shall fix another date, and in case a new record date is so fixed, notice thereof and of the date to which the meeting shall have been adjourned shall be given to the shareholders of record as of said date in accordance with the same requirements as those applying to a meeting newly called.
     5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these Regulations in respect to the right of notice of a meeting of shareholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to execute a consent, waiver, or release, or to register dissent, as the case may be, the term “share” or “shares” or “shareholder” or “shareholders” refers to an outstanding share or shares and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares when the Corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares and any holder or holders of record or outstanding shares of any class upon which or upon whom the Articles of Incorporation consider such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the Articles of Incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder. Except for subscriptions received by the incorporators, and except as the contract of subscription price has not been fully paid shall not be deemed to be a shareholder and the shares so subscribed shall not be deemed to be outstanding shares.

ARTICLE II — DIRECTORS
     1. FUNCTIONS: DEFINITIONS: AND COMPENSATION. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors. The use of the phrase full Board in these Regulations refers to the whole authorized number of directors fixed in these Regulations.

     2. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER. A director need not be a shareholder, a United States citizen, or a resident of the State of Ohio. The number of directors constituting the full board shall be at least, except that, where all the shares are owned of record by less than three shareholders, the number of directors may be less than three but not less than the number of such shareholders. Subject to the foregoing limitation, such number may be changed by an increase or decrease thereof from time to time. Any change in the fixed number may be effected by action of shareholders by an amendment to these Regulations or by the vote of the holders of at lest a majority of the shares which are presented at a meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, at which a quorum is present. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Articles of Incorporation, the number of directors may also be changed by action of the directors. No reduction in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Until sooner changed, the number of person constituting each succeeding Board of Director shall be not less than three nor more than five.
     3. ELECTION AND TERM. The initial Board of Directors shall consist of the person or persons elected at the first meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders and until his or their successors have been elected and qualified, or until his or their earlier resignation, removal form office, or death. Thereafter, directors who are elected at an annual meeting of shareholders, and directors who are elected in the interim to fill vacancies and newly created directorships, shall hold office

until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified, or until his or their earlier resignation, removal from office, or death. In the interim between annual meetings of the shareholders or of special meetings of shareholders called for the election of directors, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from the removal of directors which are not filled at the meeting of shareholders at which any such removal has been effected, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a majority of the full Board of Directors.

Notice of adjournment of a meeting need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned are fixed and announced at such meeting. Notice of the time, place and purposes of any meeting may be waived in writing, either before or after the holding of such meeting by any director. Whenever any notice of the time, place, and purposes of a meeting is required to be given to any director, a waiver thereof in writing signed by any such director, whether before or after the holding of such meeting, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. The attendance of any director at any such meeting without protesting prior to or at the commencement of the meeting, the lack of proper notice shall be deemed to be a waiver by him of notice of such meeting.
          QUORUM AND ACTION. A majority of the full Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment, and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors. Except as in these Regulations, the act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.
          Meetings of the directors or of any committee thereof may be held through any communications equipment if all the persons participating can hear each other; and participation in a meeting through such communications equipment shall constitute presence at any such meeting.

     6. FILING VACANCIES. Any vacancy among the directors, occurring from any cause whatsoever, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, provided however, that the shareholders removing any director may at the same meeting fill the vacancy caused by such removal, and provided further, that if the directors fail to fill any such vacancy, the shareholders may at any special meeting called for that purpose fill such vacancy.
          Any person elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office subject to the right of removal as hereinbefore provided, until the next annual election and until his successor is elected and qualified.
