The undersigned, being a natural person and acting as the incorporator, does hereby adopt the following Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1701 of the Revised Code of Ohio, as amended and implemented, and as hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “General Corporation Law”.

To engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be formed under Chapter 1701.01 - 1701.98 of the Revised Code of Ohio.

The foregoing provisions of this Article. THIRD shall be construed both as purposes and powers and each as an independent purpose and power. The foregoing enumeration of specific purposes and powers shall not be held to limit or restrict in any manner the purposes and powers of the corporation, and the purposes and powers herein specified shall, except when otherwise provided in this Article THIRD, be in no wise limited or restricted by reference to, or inference from the terms of any provision of this or any other Article of these Articles of Incorporation; provided, that the corporation shall not carry on any business or exercise any power in any state, territory, or country which under the laws thereof the corporation may not lawfully carry on or exercise.

FOURTH: The authorized number of shares of the corporation is 750, all of which are of a par value of one dollar each and are of the same class and are to be common shares.
