ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         A. Section 145 of the Delaware Code governs indemnification by a
corporation and provides as follows:

                 (a)      A  corporation  shall  have power 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 the person 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, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the

                                      II-1





person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, 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 which the person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the
person's conduct was unlawful.

                  (b) A corporation shall have power 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 the person 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, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless any and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine 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 which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

                  (c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer
of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

                  (d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) 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
present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be
made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to
such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a
committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors,
even through less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if
such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4) by the stockholders.

                  (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to
be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other
employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as
the corporation deems appropriate.

                  (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such
person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office.

                  (g) A corporation shall have the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of 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, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture,



                                      II-2


trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such liability under this section.

                  (h) For purposes of this section, references to "the
corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in
a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees
or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

                  (i) For purposes of this section, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall
include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee
benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation"
shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director,
officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interests of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to
have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as
referred to in this section.

                  (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

                  (k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive
jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or
indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery
may summarily determine a corporation's obligation to advance expenses
(including attorneys' fees).


         B. The By-laws of the Registrant contain the following provisions with
respect to the indemnification of directors and officers:

         SECTION 7.01. MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. The corporation shall
indemnify any officer or director of the corporation, and any officer (other
than an assistant officer) or director (i) of a subsidiary of the corporation or
(ii) of a subsidiary of any such subsidiary, 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
(including, without limitation, any action threatened or instituted 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 of a subsidiary of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation (domestic
or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs), 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, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person claiming
indemnification under this Section 7.01 shall be presumed, in respect of any act
or omission giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to have 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 matter, to have
had no

                                      II-3



reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and 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, rebut such
presumption.

          SECTION 7.02. COURT-APPROVED INDEMNIFICATION. Anything contained in
the by-laws or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding:

          (A) the corporation shall not indemnify any officer or director of the
corporation who was a party to any completed action or suit instituted 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 or agent of another corporation (domestic
or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, in respect of any claim, issue or matter asserted in such action or
suit as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence
or misconduct (other than negligence) in the performance of his duty to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Common Pleas of
Franklin County, Ohio or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability,
and in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to such indemnity as such Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County,
Ohio or such other court shall deem proper; and

          (B) the corporation shall promptly make any such unpaid
indemnification as is determined by a court to be proper as contemplated by this
Section 7.02.

          SECTION 7.03. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES. Anything contained in the
by-laws or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that an
officer or director of the corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section
7.01, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be promptly
indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

          SECTION 7.04. DETERMINATION REQUIRED. Any indemnification required
under Section 7.01 and not precluded under Section 7.02 shall be made by the
corporation only upon a determination that such indemnification of the officer
or director is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.01. Such determination may be made
only (A) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the
corporation who were not and are not parties to any such action, suit or
proceeding, or (B) if such a quorum is not obtainable or if a majority of a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (C) by the stockholders, or (D) by the Court of Common Pleas
of Franklin County, Ohio or (if the corporation is a party thereto) the court in
which such action, suit or proceeding was brought, if any; any such
determination may be made by a court under division (D) of this Section 7.04 at
any time [including, without limitation, any time before, during or after the
time when any such determination may be requested of, be under consideration by
or have been denied or disregarded by the disinterested directors under division
(A) or by independent legal counsel under division (B) or by the stockholders
under division (C) of this Section 7.04]; and no failure for any reason to make
any such determination, and no decision for any reason to deny any such
determination, by the disinterested directors under division (A) or by
independent legal counsel under division (B) or by stockholders under division
(C) of this Section 7.04 shall be evidence in rebuttal of the presumption
recited in Section 7.01.

          SECTION 7.05. ADVANCES FOR EXPENSES. Expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript
costs) incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Section 7.01 shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to or on behalf of the officer or
director promptly as such expenses are incurred by him, but only if such officer
or director shall first agree, in writing, to repay all amounts so paid in
respect of any claim, issue or


                                      II-4


other matter asserted in such action, suit or proceeding in defense of which he
shall not have been successful on the merits or otherwise:

          (A) if it shall ultimately be determined as provided in Section 7.04
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as provided under
Section 7.01; or

          (B) if, in respect of any claim, issue or other matter asserted by or
in the right of the corporation in such action or suit, he shall have been
adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct (other than negligence)
in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
such adjudication of liability, and in view of all the circumstances, he is
fairly and reasonably entitled to all or part of such indemnification.

          SECTION 7.06. ARTICLE SEVEN NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification
provided by this Article Seven shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the
certificate of incorporation or any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or director of the
corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person.

          SECTION 7.07. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of 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, or agent of another corporation
(domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), 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 obligation or the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article Seven.

          SECTION 7.08. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article Seven,
and as examples and not by way of limitation:

          (A) a person claiming indemnification under this Article Seven shall
be deemed to have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.01, or in defense of any
claim, issue or other matter therein, if such action, suit or proceeding shall
be terminated as to such person, with or without prejudice, without the entry of
a judgment or order against him, without a conviction of him, without the
imposition of a fine upon him and without his payment or agreement to pay any
amount in settlement thereof (whether or not any such termination is based upon
a judicial or other determination of the lack of merit of the claims made
against him or otherwise results in a vindication of him); and

          (B) references to an "other enterprise" shall include employee benefit
plans; references to a "fine" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a
person with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the
request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an
employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and references to "a
subsidiary of the corporation" shall include another corporation if securities
representing at least a majority of the voting power of such other corporation
are owned by the corporation; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants
and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" within the meaning
of that term as used in this Article Seven.

          SECTION 7.09. VENUE. Any action, suit or proceeding to determine a
claim for indemnification under this Article Seven may be maintained by the
person claiming such indemnification, or by the corporation,

                                      II-5



in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio. The corporation and (by
claiming such indemnification) each such person consent to the exercise of
jurisdiction over its or his person by the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin
County, Ohio in any such action, suit or proceeding.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A.       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 (or
                                    the most recent post-effective amendment
                                    thereof) which, individually or in the
                                    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
                                    the information 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% change in
                                    the maximum aggregate offering price set
                                    forth in the "Calculation of Registration
                                    Fee" table in the effective registration
                                    statement;

                           (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) of
                  this section do not apply if the registration statement in on
                  Form S-3 or 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 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 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 such securities at that time
                           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
                           thereof; and

                  (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.

                                      II-6


                  B. 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 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 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-7

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 Cambridge, State of Ohio, on the 28th day of
May, 2002.
