Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the President or by order of the Board of Directors and it shall be the duty of the Secretary to call such a meeting upon a request in writing therefor stating the purpose or purposes thereof delivered to the Secretary signed by the holders of record of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Section 3. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders may be held at such place within or without the State of Ohio, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Notice of the annual or of any special meeting of shareholders, stating the time, place and purposes thereof, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, by mailing the same to his address as the same appears on the records of the Corporation or of its Transfer Agent, or Agents, at least ten (10) and not more than fifty (50) days before any such meeting; provided, however, that no failure or irregularity of notice of any annual meeting shall invalidate the same or any proceeding thereat. All notices with respect to any shares to which persons are jointly entitled may be given to that one of such persons who is named first upon the books of the Corporation and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such shares. Any shareholder, or his attorney thereunto authorized, may waive notice of any meeting either before or after the meeting.

Section 5. Quorum. At all meetings of shareholders the holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Corporation, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority of the voting shares present or represented may adjourn the meeting by resolution to a date fixed therein, and no further notice thereof shall be required. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 6. Proxies. Any shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may be represented and vote thereat by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such shareholder, or by his duly authorized attorney, and submitted to the Secretary at or before such meeting.

ARTICLE II
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. Number. The number of directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12) as may be fixed, from time to time, by resolution duly adopted by a majority of the shares which are represented at any annual meeting or special meeting called for that purpose provided a quorum is present. No reduction in the number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his term of office.

Section 2. Election and Classification. The election of directors shall be held at the annual meeting of the shareholders or at a special meeting called for that purpose. The directors shall be classified with respect to the terms for which they shall hold office by dividing them into three classes, each consisting of one-third of the whole number of the Board of Directors, or, if such number shall not be a multiple of three, then such division shall be as nearly equal as the total number of directors will permit. The term of office of the first class shall expire at the first annual meeting of the corporation subsequent to their election, the term of office of the second class shall expire at the second annual meeting subsequent to their election, and the term of office of the third class shall expire at the second annual meeting subsequent to their election, and the term of office of the third class shall expire at the third annual meeting subsequent to their election. At the first annual meeting at which directors are classified, each person shall be nominated as a director to the first, second or third class and no person shall be nominated as a candidate for more than one class. At each annual meeting after the election of the classified Board, directors shall be elected for a term of three years to replace those whose terms expire. If, at any time the number of directors is increased or decreased, the increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible. In the event of a decrease, one or more directors shall be reclassified by vote of a majority of the Board if such action is required to balance the classes of directors, even though this may have the effect of shortening the term of office to which such director was elected by the shareholders. Any vacancy created in the Board of Directors may be filled by the majority vote of the remaining directors. Any person so elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of that director whose vacancy is being filled.

Section 3. Removal. All of the directors of a particular class, or any individual director may be removed from office without assigning any cause, by the vote of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon at any meeting of shareholders called for that purpose. In case of any such removal, a new director may be elected at the same meeting for the unexpired term of each director removed. Failure to elect a director to fill the unexpired term of any director removed shall be deemed to create a vacancy in the Board.

Section 4. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors shall hold its meetings at such places within or without the State of Ohio as it may decide.

Section 5. Regular Meetings. The Board of Directors by resolution may establish regular periodic meetings and notice of such meetings need not be given.

Notice of each Special Meeting shall be mailed to each director, addressed to his residence or usual place of business, at least two (2) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or shall be sent to such address by telegraph, or be given personally or by telephone, not later than one (1) day before the day on which the meeting is to be held.

Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum at all meetings thereof. In the absence of a quorum of the Board of Directors, a majority of the members present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum be had, and no notice of any such adjournment need be given.

The Board of Directors may from time to time, irrespective of any personal interest of any of them, establish reasonable compensation for services to the Corporation by directors and officers. The Board of Directors may reimburse directors for travel and other expenses incidental to their attendance at meetings of the Board, and, from time to time, may prescribe reasonable annual directors’ fees or reasonable fees for their attendance at meetings of the Board.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate (a) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or (b) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation who serves or served, in any capacity, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise at the request of the Corporation (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Ohio law against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VI with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or to advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by

the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The rights conferred by this Article VI shall be contract rights, which shall not be abrogated by any amendment or repeal of this Article VI with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 2. Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred by Section 1 of this Article VI shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding as they are incurred in advance of final disposition of such proceeding (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that such advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of the appropriate undertaking, if any, required by the General Corporation Law of Ohio (hereinafter an “undertaking”), made by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay such amounts; and provided further that a determination that the indemnitee must repay such amounts pursuant to the terms of an undertaking may be made only by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”).

Section 3. Suit by Indemnitee to Enforce Rights to Indemnification or by the Corporation to Recover an Advancement of Expenses. If a claim under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written demand therefor has been received by the Corporation (except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days), the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If he is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (other than a suit brought by an indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this Article VI.

In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation. In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden or proving that the indemnitee must repay such advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of such undertaking shall be on the Corporation.

Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, these Regulations, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or of disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Such insurance may be purchased or maintained with a person or entity in which the Corporation has a financial interest.

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors in the specific case, grant to any employee or agent of the Corporation rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to such extent as the Board of Directors may so determine, up to and including the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VI pertaining to indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Corporation.
