<u>Item 4. Description of Securities</u>.

Not Applicable.

------

<u>Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u>.

Not Applicable.

<u>Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>.

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statutes referred to below, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant and the Amended and Restated Regulations of the Registrant.

Under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio General Corporation Law (the "OGCL"), directors, officers, employees and agents of an Ohio corporation have an absolute right to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding brought against them to the extent they are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of such action, suit or proceeding (including an action by or in the right of the corporation), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter asserted therein.

Section 1701.13(E) permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents or individuals who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation or entity in circumstances where indemnification is not mandated by the statute if certain statutory standards are satisfied. Under Section 1701.13(E), a corporation may grant indemnification in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative (other than an action brought by or in the right of the corporation), if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is permitted against expenses (including attorneys' fees) as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding.

A corporation may also provide indemnification pursuant to Section 1701.13(E) in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit if the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that a corporation is not authorized to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent in any such action if such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duties to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. In addition, Section 1701.13(E) does not authorize a corporation to indemnify a director in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation in which the only liability asserted against the director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions under Section 1701.95 of the OGCL.

Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to pay expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the corporation's directors and upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL states that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights granted to persons seeking indemnification under a corporation's articles or regulations, any agreement, a vote of the corporation's shareholders or disinterested directors,

------

or otherwise. In addition, Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL grants express power to a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection, including trust funds, letters of credit and self-insurance, for director, officer, employee or agent liability, regardless of whether that individual is otherwise eligible for indemnification by the corporation.

The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, indemnify each director and officer against any and all costs and expenses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and other disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding (or any claim or other matter therein), whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise in nature, including any settlements or appeals thereof, with respect to which such person is named or otherwise becomes or is threatened to be made a party by reason of being or at any time having been a director or officer of the Registrant, or by any reason of being or at any time having been, while such a director or officer, an employee or other agent of the Registrant or, at the direction or request of the Registrant, a director, trustee, officer, administrator, manager, employee, adviser or other agent of or fiduciary for any other corporation, partnership, trust, venture or other entity or enterprise (including any employee benefit plan). The Articles further provide that (i) the Registrant shall indemnify any other person to the extent such person is entitled to indemnification under Ohio law by reason of being successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action to which such person is named a party by reason of being an employee or other agent of the Registrant and (ii) the Registrant may further indemnify any such person if it is determined by the board of directors of the Registrant that indemnification is proper in the specific case. The Articles state that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles, no person shall be indemnified by the Registrant to the extent it is determined by the board of directors or by written opinion of legal counsel designated by the board of directors for such purpose that indemnification is contrary to applicable law.

Under the Registrant's Amended and Restated Regulations (the "Regulations"), the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or director 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 any derivative action), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. A person claiming such indemnification 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 such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. The Regulations state that any such indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made only upon a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct, and such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors, (ii) in a written opinion by qualified independent legal counsel or (iii) by the shareholders.

The Regulations provide that, to the extent that an officer or director has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, such person shall be promptly indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The Regulations further provide that expenses (including attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs) incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant 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 such person if (i) in respect of any claim (except one in which the only liability asserted against a director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distribution of assets under Section 1701.95 of the OGCL), the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, in which such person agrees to repay all such amounts if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that such person's action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Registrant or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant, and such person agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Registrant concerning the action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer in which such person agrees to repay all such amounts if it ultimately is determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

The Regulations state that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, the Regulations provide that the Registrant 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 any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the obligation or the power to indemnify such person under the Regulations.

*Director and Officer Insurance Maintained by the Registrant*

The Registrant maintains insurance policies under which directors and officers of the Registrant and directors, officers, members and managers of, and certain persons holding equivalent positions with, its subsidiaries are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of such policies, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Registrant or directors, officers, members or managers (or other equivalent positions), as applicable, of its subsidiaries.

<u>Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed</u>.

Not Applicable.

<u>Item 8. Exhibits</u>.

See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto and beginning on page II-6.

<u>Item 9. Undertakings</u>.

A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II, 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.

<u>Section 4</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS</u>

For each Participant, the Company will establish a Deferred Compensation Account and a separate subaccount within such Deferred Compensation Account for the Plan Year(s) covered by each Deferral Notice (each, a "Subaccount").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Election of Participant</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.With respect to each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to have a percentage of his or her Eligible Compensation for the Plan Year allocated to the applicable Subaccount and paid on a deferred basis pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Except as provided in Sections 4(B)(ii) and 4(B)(iii), to make such an election for any Plan Year, the Participant must advise the Company of his or her election, in writing,

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

on a form prescribed by the Company (each, a "Deferral Notice"). An election made under this Section 4(B)(i) for any Plan Year must be made by December 31 of the preceding Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first Plan Year in which a Director is eligible to participate in the Plan, the Deferral Notice must be submitted to the Company within 30 days after the date on which the Director is first eligible to participate in the Plan, and shall apply to Eligible Compensation relating to services to be performed after such election is made. For purposes of this Section 4(B)(ii), a Director is first eligible to participate in this Plan only if the Director is not eligible to participate in any other arrangement of the Company or an Affiliate that, along with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.To the extent that a Participant completes a Deferral Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(B), such Deferral Notice shall remain in effect for future Plan Years until changed or revoked by the Participant; provided, however, that on each December 31 while the Deferral Notice remains in effect, such election shall become irrevocable with respect to Eligible Compensation payable in connection with services to be performed in the immediately following Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.A Participant who does not return a completed Deferral Notice within the relevant time period specified in this Section 4(B) and for whom there is not a Deferral Notice still in effect will be deemed to have elected not to defer any Eligible Compensation for the applicable Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Participant Deferrals</u>. Each time a Deferral Notice is timely submitted to the Company in accordance with Section 4(B) above, during the next Plan Year and any subsequent Plan Years for which such Deferral Notice remains in effect, the Company will allocate to the Subaccount for such Deferral Notice the percentage of Eligible Compensation specified in the Deferral Notice. Any amounts so allocated by the Company are called "Participant Deferrals."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Adjustment of Account Balances</u>. On the date each Participant Deferral is credited to a Participant's Subaccount, the amount credited to such Subaccount (and any other amounts then credited to such Subaccount) shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of a Common Share. Upon completion of this calculation, the Subaccount shall be credited with the resulting number of whole Common Shares and any remaining amounts shall continue to be credited to such Subaccount until converted to whole Common Shares at a future conversion date under this Section 4(D). Each Subaccount of each Participant shall be credited with cash dividends on the Common Shares at the times and equal in amount to the cash dividends actually paid with respect to Common Shares on and after the date credited to the Subaccount. On the date such cash dividends are credited, the amount of cash dividends credited to such Subaccount (and any other amounts then credited to such Subaccount) shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of a Common Share. Upon completion of this calculation, the Subaccount shall be credited with the resulting number of whole Common Shares and any remaining amounts shall continue to be credited to the Subaccount until converted to whole Common Shares at a future

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

conversion date under this Section 4(D). The Plan Administrator may prescribe any reasonable method or procedure for the accounting of Additions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Stock Adjustments</u>. The number of Common Shares in each Subaccount shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the Common Shares resulting from a change in the Company's capital structure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Participant's Rights in Accounts</u>. A Participant's only right with respect to his or her Deferred Compensation Account (and amounts allocated thereto) will be to receive payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan. For purposes of clarity, a Participant shall have no right to vote Common Shares allocated to their Deferred Compensation Account or applicable Subaccount until the Common Shares are distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.

<u>Section 5</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>PAYMENT OF DEFERRED BENEFITS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Time of Payment</u>. Distribution of each Subaccount of a Participant shall be made on or after the 50<sup>th</sup> day, but in no event later than the 60<sup>th</sup> day, after the earlier of (i) the date specified by the Participant in the applicable Deferral Notice or Amendment to Deferral Notice or (ii) the date of the Participant's Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Changes to Payment Election</u>. With respect to Section 409A Amounts, a Participant will be permitted to change the date specified by the Participant for distribution of his or her Subaccount with respect to any Deferral Notice by delivering an "Amendment to Deferral Notice" to the Plan Administrator; provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.On or before December 31, 2008, (a) such change may not apply to any amount otherwise payable in 2008 and (b) such change may not cause an amount to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008. After December 31, 2008, this subsequent distribution election may be changed only as provided in Section 5(B)(ii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.After December 31, 2008, (a) such change may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which such change is made; (b) the payment with respect to which such change is made must be deferred (other than a distribution upon death or Unforeseeable Emergency) for at least five years from the date the amount otherwise would have been paid; and (c) any change related to a payment at a specified time may not be made less than 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid. After December 31, 2008, an Amendment to Deferral Notice with respect to any Section 409A Amounts may only be changed if such change would meet the requirements of this Section 5(B)(ii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Method of Distribution</u>. Each Subaccount of a Participant shall be distributed to the Participant in whole Common Shares in a single lump sum payment. Any cash amounts that have been credited to a Subaccount and are not converted to Common Shares prior to distribution shall be settled in cash.

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Unforeseeable Emergency</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.<u>Section 409A Amounts</u>. A Participant may request a distribution of Section 409A Amounts from his or her Deferred Compensation Account upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. However, the amount of this distribution may not be greater than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from distribution) or, if less, the value of the Section 409A Amounts in the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as of the distribution date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution of Section 409A Amounts on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution of Section 409A Amounts under this subsection shall be made by distributing the appropriate number of Common Shares.

As a condition of receiving a distribution under this Section 5(D), a Participant must file a written application with the Plan Administrator specifying the nature of the Unforeseeable Emergency and the amount needed to address that circumstance and supply any other information the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may need to ensure that the conditions specified in this Section 5(D) are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Distribution Upon Death</u>. Upon the death of a Participant prior to the distribution of any Participant's Subaccounts, such Subaccounts shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after (i) the Plan Administrator receives notice of the Participant's death and (ii) the Plan Administrator reasonably determines the identity of the Participant's Beneficiary. The Participant may designate a Beneficiary by filing a designation with the Plan Administrator in a form acceptable to the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. If there is no designated Beneficiary or no designated Beneficiary surviving at a Participant's death, payment of any of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be made to the Participant's estate.

<u>Section 6</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION</u> - The right of a Participant, Beneficiary or any other person to the payment of a benefit under this Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

<u>Section 7</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>PLAN ADMINISTRATION</u> - The Plan Administrator will have the right to interpret and construe the Plan and to determine all questions of eligibility and of status, rights and benefits of Participants and all other persons claiming benefits under the Plan. In all such interpretations and constructions, the Plan Administrator's determination will be based upon uniform rules and practices applied in a nondiscriminatory manner and will be binding upon all persons affected thereby. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 below, any decision by the Plan Administrator with respect to any such matters will be final and binding on all parties. The Plan Administrator will have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities under this Section 7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notification to Claimant</u>. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator (or its designee) will furnish to the claimant a notice of the decision explaining the specific reasons for the denial as well as specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Review Procedure</u>. A claimant or an authorized representative of a claimant may appeal any denied claim by filing a written request for review within ninety 90 days after the date of the claim denial notice described in Section 8.B. Any request for review should be directed to the Plan Administrator (or to its designee identified in the claims denial notice). The Plan Administrator (or its designee) will have the sole responsibility for the review of any denied claim and will take all steps appropriate in the light of its findings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Decision on Review</u>. The Plan Administrator (or its designee) will render a decision upon review. The decision on review will be in writing and will include specific reasons for the decision, as well as specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based.

<u>Section 9</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>UNSECURED AND UNFUNDED OBLIGATION</u> - Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the benefits offered under the Plan shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to pay benefits determined hereunder which are accrued by Participants while such Participants are Directors. No provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company for payment of any benefits hereunder, except to the extent that the Company, in its discretion, establishes a Trust for such purpose. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from a Trust, neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligation therefor, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligations of, and shall be paid by, the Company. No Participant, Beneficiary or any other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of the right to receive a benefit under the Plan and any such Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Company, any Affiliate or any other entity or person that the assets

------

**Exhibit 10.1**

of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. All expenses and fees incurred in the administration of the Plan and of any Trust shall be paid by the Company, provided that, in the event that a Trust is established, at the direction of the Company, such expenses and fees shall be paid from the Trust, provided that such amounts are not paid by the Company or an Affiliate.

<u>Section 10</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendment of the Plan</u>. The Company reserves the right, by a resolution of the Board, to amend the Plan at any time, and from time to time, in any manner which it deems desirable, provided that no amendment will adversely affect the accrued benefits of any Participant under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of the Plan</u>. The Company reserves the right, by a resolution of the Board, to terminate this Plan at any time without providing any advance notice to any Participant. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Participants' Deferred Compensation Accounts shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Plan termination, the Company (i) reserves the right to then distribute all Grandfathered Amounts and (ii) may distribute Section 409A Amounts in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

<u>Section 11</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS</u> - The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and the Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or in the event substantially all of the assets of the Company shall be transferred to another corporation, the successor corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation, or the transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall, as a condition to the consummation of the merger, consolidation or transfer, assume the obligations of the Company hereunder and shall be substituted for the Company hereunder.

<u>Section 12</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>NO GUARANTEE OF PLAN PERMANENCY</u> - This Plan does not contain any guarantee of provisions for continued service on the Board to any Director or Participant nor is it guaranteed by the Company to be a permanent plan.

<u>Section 13</u>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>INCAPACITY OF RECIPIENT</u> - In the event that a Participant or Beneficiary is declared incompetent and a guardian, conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his or her person or estate is appointed, any benefits under the Plan to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be paid to such guardian, conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his or her person or estate. Except as provided hereinabove, when the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that a Participant or Beneficiary is unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may, but shall not be required to, direct the Company to make distribution(s) to any one or more of the spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants or other closest living relatives of such Participant or Beneficiary who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator the propriety of making such distribution(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code</u>.

Such distribution may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

paid for, as appropriate, in accordance with, and for the consideration prescribed in, the Plan will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar in the State of Ohio and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Ohio, including the applicable provisions of the Ohio Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, and of the United States of America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This opinion is based upon the laws and legal interpretations in effect, and the facts and circumstances existing, on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should any such law or legal interpretation be changed by legislative action, judicial interpretation or otherwise or should there be any change in such facts or circumstances.

By giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except in connection with the Registration Statement as aforesaid, no portion of this opinion may be quoted or otherwise used by any person without our prior written consent.

Sincerely,
