ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Article V of the Code of Regulations of Registrant concerns
indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers and provides as
follows:

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         "The Company shall indemnify each person who is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Company, or of any other corporation which he served
as such at the request of the Company, against any and all liability and
reasonable expense that may be incurred by him in connection with or resulting
from any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right
of the Company or such other corporation or otherwise), civil or criminal, or in
connection with an appeal relating thereto, in which he may become involved, as
a party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer,
or employee of the Company or of such other corporation, or by reason of any
past or future action taken or not taken in his capacity as such director,
officer, or employee, whether or not he continues to be such at the time such
liability or expense is incurred, provided such person acted, in good faith, in
what he reasonably believed to be the best interests of the Company or such
other corporation, as the case may be, and, in addition, in any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
As used in this Article, the terms "liability" and "expense" shall include, but
shall not be limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of
judgments, fines, or penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement by, a
director, officer, or employee, other than amounts paid to the Company itself or
to such other corporation served at the Company's request. The termination of
any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, by judgment,
settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction or upon a plea
of guilty or of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a
presumption that a director, officer, or employee did not meet the standards of
conduct set forth in the first sentence of this Article. Any such director,
officer, or employee referred to in this Article who has been wholly successful,
on the merits or otherwise, with respect to any claim, action, suit or
proceeding of the character described herein shall be entitled to
indemnification as of right. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any
indemnification hereunder shall be made at the discretion of the Company, but
only if (1) the Board, acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to (or who


                                      II-2


have been wholly successful with respect to) such claim, action, suit, or
proceeding, shall find that the director, officer, or employee has met the
standards of conduct set forth in the first sentence of this Article, or (2)
independent legal counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the Company) shall
deliver to it their written advice that, in their opinion, such director,
officer, or employee has met such standards. Expense incurred with respect to
any such claim action, suit, or proceeding may be advanced by the Company prior
to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the recipient to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined
that he is entitled to indemnification under this Article. The rights of
indemnification provided in this Article shall be in addition to any rights to
which any person concerned may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter
of law, and shall inure to the benefit of their heirs, executors, and
administrators of any such person."

         Indemnification also may be made available by Registrant to its
directors, officers, employees and agents, and may be available as a matter of
right, under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code. Section 1701.13(E) of
the Ohio Revised Code provides as follows:

                  "(E)(1) A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any
         person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to
         any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding,
         whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than
         an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
         that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
         corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
         a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of
         another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a
         limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or
         other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees,
         judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and
         reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or
         proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
         believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
         corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if
         he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
         termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order,
         settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
         equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person
         did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
         in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
         respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause
         to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

                  (2) A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any
         person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to
         any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right
         of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the
         fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
         corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
         a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of
         another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a
         limited liability


                                      II-3


         company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
         against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably
         incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
         action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
         believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
         corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
         any of the following:

                  (a) Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is
         adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
         of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the
         court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was
         brought determines, upon application, 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 for such expenses
         as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;

                  (b) Any action or suit in which the only liability asserted
         against a director is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Revised Code.

                  (3) To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee,
         member, manager, or agent has been successful on the merits or
         otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
         division (E)(1) or (2) of this section, or in defense of any claim,
         issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses,
         including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
         connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

                  (4) Any indemnification under division (E)(1) or (2) of this
         section, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation
         only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that
         indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, member,
         manager, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
         applicable standard of conduct set forth in division (E)(1) or (2) of
         this section. Such determination shall be made as follows:

                  (a) By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of
         the indemnifying corporation who were not and are not parties to or
         threatened with the action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division
         (E)(1) or (2) of this section;

                  (b) If the quorum described in division (E)(4)(a) of this
         section is not obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of
         disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent
         legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with
         it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed services
         for the corporation or any person to be indemnified within the past
         five years;

                  (c)  By the shareholders;


                                      II-4


                  (d) By the court of common pleas or the court in which the
         action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (E)(1) or (2) of
         this section was brought.

                  Any determination made by the disinterested directors under
         division (E)(4)(a) or by independent legal counsel under division
         (E)(4)(b) of this section shall be promptly communicated to the person
         who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the
         corporation under division (E)(2) of this section, and, within ten days
         after receipt of such notification, such person shall have the right to
         petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or
         suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

                  (5)(a) Unless at the time of a director's act or omission that
         is the subject of an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
         division (E)(1) or (2) of this section, the articles or the regulations
         of a corporation state, by specific reference to this division, that
         the provisions of this division do not apply to the corporation and
         unless the only liability asserted against a director in an action,
         suit, or proceeding referred to in division (E)(1) or (2) of this
         section is pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Revised Code, expenses,
         including attorney's fees, incurred by a director in defending this
         action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they
         are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit,
         or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
         director in which he agrees to do both of the following:

                  (i) Repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing
         evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that his action or
         failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate
         intent to cause injury to the corporation or undertaken with reckless
         disregard for the best interests of the corporation;

                  (ii) Reasonably cooperate with the corporation concerning the
         action, suit, or proceeding.

                  (b) Expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a
         director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent in
         defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division
         (E)(1) or (2) of this section, may be paid by the corporation as they
         are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit,
         or proceeding, as authorized by the directors in the specific case,
         upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
         trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent to repay such
         amount, if it ultimately is determined that he is not entitled to be
         indemnified by the corporation.

                  (6) The indemnification authorized by this section shall not
         be exclusive of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights granted
         to those seeking indemnification under the articles, the regulations,
         any agreement, a vote of shareholders or


                                      II-5


         disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in their
         official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding
         their offices or positions, and shall continue as to a person who
         ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager,
         or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
         administrators of such a person.

                  (7) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or
         furnish similar protection, including, but not limited to, trust funds,
         letters of credit, or self-insurance, on behalf of or for any person
         who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
         corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
         a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager, or agent of
         another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, a
         limited liability company, or a partnership, joint venture, trust or
         other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and
         incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
         such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
         him against such liability under this section. Insurance may be
         purchased from or maintained with a person in which the corporation has
         a financial interest.

                  (8) The authority of a corporation to indemnify persons
         pursuant to division (E)(1) or (2) of this section does not limit the
         payment of expenses as they are incurred, indemnification, insurance,
         or other protection that may be provided pursuant to divisions (E)(5),
         (6), and (7) of this section. Divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section
         do not create any obligation to repay or return payments made by the
         corporation pursuant to division (E)(5), (6), or (7).

                  (9) As used in division (E) of this section, "corporation"
         includes all constituent entities in a consolidation or merger and the
         new or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a
         director, officer, employee, trustee, member, manager, or agent of such
         a constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A.  The undersigned 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 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 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 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 registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or
         Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
         post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
         reports filed 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


                                      II-8


         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 this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, 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 foregoing provisions, 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
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.









                                      II-9




                                   SIGNATURES

registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Akron, State of Ohio, on the 31st day of July, 2002.
