________________("Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the current business environment makes it
difficult to attract and retain highly qualified executives unless a certain
degree of security can be offered to such individual against organizational and
personnel changes that frequently follow changes in control of an organization;
and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure fair treatment of its executives in the
event of a Change in Control and to allow them to make critical career decisions
without undue time pressure and financial uncertainty, thereby increasing their
willingness to remain with the Company notwithstanding the outcome of a possible
Change in Control transaction;

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that its executives will be involved in
evaluating or negotiating any offers, proposals, or other transactions that
could result in a Change in Control of the Company and believes that it is in
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for such executives to be
in a position, free from personal financial and employment considerations, to be
able to assess objectively and pursue aggressively the interests of the Company
and its shareholders in making these evaluations and carrying on such
negotiations;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes it is necessary to
provide the executive with compensation arrangements upon a Change in Control
that provide the executive with individual financial security and that are
competitive with those of other corporations, and in order to accomplish these
objectives, the Board has cause the Company to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS this Agreement is intended to provide Executive with certain special
benefits and to grant certain special protections so that Executive may more
fully focus on enhancing shareholder value and addressing the issues related to
a "Change in Control," and to reward the Executive for the substantial extra
effort involved in a Change in Control

         In consideration of the recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the
parties agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1

     Executive shall elect, without outlay of cash but net of all applicable
     withholding taxes, which taxes shall be remitted by the Company to the
     proper taxing authorities;

     (such exercise to provide cash rather than shares to Executive), and shall
     sell to the Company at the time of the Change in Control all Shares then
     owned by Executive, to the extent such options or shares are not converted
     into in the Successor. Such exercise of options and sale of shares shall
     yield an amount to Executive determined by the share Change in Control
     Valuation.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16"), then to the extent Executive

to be made with respect to whether the Executive's conduct complies with the
standards required to be met as a condition of indemnification or advancement of

reduce any rights of the Executive to indemnification pursuant to applicable
law. In addition, the Company will take no action to endorse or modify the
Company's directors and officers liability policy in effect immediately
preceding the Change in Control which endorsement or modification would affect

based upon the following assumptions: (i) all payments and benefits to or for
the benefit of Executive in connection with a Change in Control of the Company
or termination of Executive's employment following a Change in Control of the
Company shall be deemed to be "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess parachute payments" shall be deemed to
be subject to the Excise Tax except to the extent that, in the opinion of tax
counsel selected by the firm of certified public accountants charged with
estimating the payment to Executive under this Section, such payments or
benefits are not subject to the Excise Tax; and (ii) Executive shall be deemed
to pay federal, state and local taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation
for the applicable calendar year. The estimated amount of the payment due the
Executive pursuant to this Section 3 shall be paid to the Executive in a lump
sum not later than thirty (30) business days following the effective date of the
termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payment is less than
the amount actually due to Executive under this Section, the amount of any such
shortfall shall be paid to the Executive within ten (10) days after the
existence of the shortfall is discovered.

3.5 WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be

                  effect on the date hereof;

         (ii)     The benefits provided by the Company's Articles of

                  effect at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee;

         (iii)    The benefits allowable under Ohio law in effect on the date
                  hereof;

         (iv)     The benefits allowable under the law of the jurisdiction under
                  which the Company exists at the time Expenses are incurred by
                  Indemnitee;

         (v)      The benefits available under liability insurance obtained by
                  the Company; and

         (vi)     Such other benefits as are or may be otherwise available to
                  Indemnitee.

         Any combination of two or more of the benefits provided by (i) through
         (vi) above shall be available to the extent that the Applicable
         Document (as hereinafter defined) does not require that the benefits
         provided therein be exclusive of other benefits. The document or law
         providing for the benefits listed in items (i) through (vi) above is
         called the "Applicable Document" in this Agreement. The Company hereby
         undertakes to use its best efforts to assist Indemnitee, in all proper
         and legal ways, to obtain the benefits selected by Indemnitee under
         items (i) through (vi) above.

(b)      PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision

         portion of the Expenses arising from or relating to a Proceeding but
         not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall
         nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which
         Indemnitee is entitled.

         include the plural and vice versa.

(d)      STANDARD OF CONDUCT. In determining whether a director, officer or
         Representative exercised the requisite standard of conduct in order to
         qualify for indemnification under any of the foregoing provisions, that
         standard shall be deemed to have been met; (i) unless it is proven by
         clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that
         his action or failure to action involved an act or omission undertaken
         with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Company or undertaken
         with reckless disregard for the best interest of the Company and all
         rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed; or (ii) unless in any
         Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to which a Indemnitee is a
         party by reason of being a director, officer or Representative of the
         Company, Indemnitee is adjudged in a court of competent jurisdiction to
         be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
         to the Company and the court in which such Proceeding is pending
         determines upon application that Indemnitee in view of all of the
         circumstances of the case is not fairly and reasonably entitled to be
         indemnified for some or all of the Expenses incurred in connection with
         the Proceeding, and all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed.

SECTION 2 - INSURANCE. The Company shall maintain a directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy or policies meeting at least the coverage standard
established under the policy attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A for so long
as Indemnitee's services are covered hereunder, provided and to the extent that
such insurance is available on a basis acceptable to the Company. Indemnitee
shall be included as a named insured under such policy or policies, in
accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any director, officer or representative of the Company. In the
event that such insurance is unavailable in the amount of the present policy
limits or in the present scope of coverage at premium costs and on other terms
acceptable to the Company, then the Company may forego maintenance of such
insurance coverage; provided, however, the Company agrees that the provisions
hereof shall remain in effect regardless of whether liability or other insurance
is maintained by the Company. Any payments made to Indemnitee under an insurance
policy maintained by the Company shall reduce the obligation of the Company to
make payments under this Agreement by the amount of the payments made under any
such insurance policy. The right of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to
any other rights Indemnitee may now or hereafter have under policies of
insurance maintained by the Company or otherwise.

SECTION 3 - PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. At Indemnitee's request, after receipt of
written notice pursuant to Section 5 hereof and a written undertaking to repay
such amounts so paid on Indemnitee's behalf if it shall ultimately be determined

by the Company for such Expenses, the Company shall pay the Expenses as and when
incurred by Indemnitee. The portion of Expenses which represents attorneys' fees
and other costs incurred in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the
Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such request, together with

Proceedings relating to or arising our of Indemnitee's acts or omissions during
his service in such position.

SECTION 5 - NOTICE TO COMPANY. Indemnitee shall provide to the Company prompt
written notice of any Proceeding brought, threatened, asserted or commenced

under this Agreement.

admission or effect any settlement without the Company's written consent unless

         of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the conduct of the
         defense of such Proceeding; or

(d)      The Company shall not have employed counsel promptly to assume the
         defense of such Proceeding;

in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense
of the Company and subject to payment pursuant to this Agreement provided that
Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to such indemnification under this Agreement.
The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee in any
Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee

SECTION 8 - REVIEWING PARTY DETERMINATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT.
----------------------------------------------------------

(a)      GENERAL RULES. The Company shall not seek to deny indemnification under
         this Agreement unless the Reviewing Party (as defined in Section 8(b)
         below) shall have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in
         which the special independent counsel referred to in Section 8(d) below
         is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified
         under this Agreement, provided, however, that if legal proceedings have
         commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a
         determination of whether Indemnitee should be indemnified under this
         Agreement, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that
         Indemnitee would not be permitted to be identified under this Agreement
         shall not be binding.

(b)      SELECTION OF REVIEWING PARTY. If there has not been a Change in Control
         (as defined in Section 8(e) below), the Reviewing Party shall be
         selected by the Board of Directors. If there has been such a Change in
         Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the special independent counsel
         referred to in Section 8(d) below. The Reviewing Party shall be a
         person or body consisting of a member or members of the Company's Board
         of Directors or any other person or body, including the special
         independent counsel referred to in Section 8(d) below, who is not a
         party to the particular Proceeding for which Indemnitee is securing
         indemnification.

(c)      JUDICIAL REVIEW. Any determination by the Reviewing Party in favor of
         the Indemnitee shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
         Indemnitee. If the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee
         substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in
         part under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to commence
         litigation in any court in the State of Ohio having subject matter
         jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking a
         determination by the court that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
         indemnified under this Agreement, and Indemnitee hereby consents to
         service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. The prevailing
         party shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement of any costs and
         expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
         incurred in connection with such legal action; provided, however, that
         Indemnitee shall not be obligated to reimburse the Company unless the
         standard set forth in Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E)(5)(a)(i) as
         presently in effect is met. If there has been no determination by the
         Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that

                                  Page 5 of 9
<PAGE>   6

         Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in
         whole or in part under applicable law and the Company does not commence
         litigation to seek a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to
         be indemnified under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to
         commence litigation in any court in the State of Ohio having subject
         matter jurisdiction under this Agreement, and the Company hereby
         consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.

(d)      INDEPENDENT COUNSEL. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in
         Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been
         approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were
         directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then with
         respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of
         Indemnitee to indemnity payments and advances for Expenses under this
         Agreement or under any Applicable Document now or hereafter in effect
         relating to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party, the Company
         shall seek legal advice only from special independent counsel selected
         by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
         unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services
         for Indemnitee or the Company within the last ten (10) years (other
         than in connection with such matters). The Company agrees to pay the
         reasonable fees of the special independent counsel referred to above
         and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses
         (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising
         out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant
         thereto.

(e)      CHANGE IN CONTROL DEFINED. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in
         Control" of the Company shall have occurred if at any time during the
         term any of the following events shall occur:

         (i)      The Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation
                  and immediately thereafter less than eighty percent (80%) of
                  the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or
                  resulting corporation are voting securities of the Company
                  outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation,
                  or are voting securities issued in exchange for such voting
                  securities of the Company as a result of the merger or
                  consolidation;

         (ii)     There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or
                  any successor scheduled, form or report) each as promulgated
                  pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
                  amended ("Exchange Act") disclosing the acquisition of twenty
                  percent (20%) or more of the voting stock of the Company in a
                  transaction or series of transactions by any person (as the
                  term "person" is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2)
                  of the Exchange Act);

                                  Page 6 of 9
<PAGE>   7

         (iii)    The Company files a report or proxy statement with the
                  Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange
                  Act disclosing in response to Item 1 of Form 8-K thereunder or
                  Item 6(a) of Schedule 14A thereunder (or any similar items of
                  successor schedules, form or reports) that a Change in Control
                  of the Company has or may have occurred or will or may occur
                  in the future pursuant to any then-existing contract or
                  transaction; or

         (iv)     During any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months,
                  individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute
                  the directors of the Company cease for any reason to
                  constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or
                  the nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of
                  each new director of the Company was approved by a vote of at
                  least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors of the Company then
                  still in office who were directors of the Company at the
                  beginning of any such period.

For purposes of this Section 8, "voting securities" means securities entitled to
vote in an election of directors of the Company, and a "percentage" of voting
securities means the corresponding percentage of such voting power represented
by the voting securities.

SECTION 9 - EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding the scope of indemnification which may
be available to Indemnitee from time to time under any Applicable Document, no
indemnification, reimbursement or payment shall be required of the Company
hereunder with respect to: (a) any claim or part thereof as to which
indemnification is prohibited under Ohio or federal law; or (b) any claim or any
part thereof arising under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to which
it shall be ultimately determined that Indemnitee is obligated to pay any
disgorgement of profits or any penalty, fine, settlement or judgment. Nothing in
this Section 9 shall eliminate or diminish Company's obligations to advance that
portion of Indemnitee's Expenses which represent attorneys' fees and other costs
incurred in defending any Proceeding pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

SECTION 10 - EXTRAORDINARY TRANSACTIONS. The Company covenants and agrees that,
in the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company
is not the surviving entity, any sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company or any liquidation of the Company (each such event is hereinafter
referred to as an "extraordinary transaction"), the Company shall: (a) have the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement expressly assumed by the
survivor, purchaser or successor, as the case may be, in such extraordinary
transaction; or (b) otherwise adequately provide for the satisfaction of the
Company's obligations under this Agreement, in a manner acceptable to
Indemnitee.

SECTION 11 - NO PERSONAL LIABILITY. Indemnitee agrees that neither the Directors
not any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company shall be
personally liable for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement, and Indemnitee shall look solely to the assets of the Company for
satisfaction of any claims hereunder.

SECTION 12 - SEVERABILITY. If any provision, phrase or other portion of this
Agreement should be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination
should become final, such provision, phrase or other portion shall be deemed to
be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining
provisions and portion of this Agreement enforceable, and this Agreement as thus
amended shall be enforced to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar
as that is possible.

SECTION 13 - SUBROGATION. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent thereof to all rights to
indemnification or reimbursement against any insurer or other entity or person
vested in the Indemnitee, who shall execute all instruments and take all other
actions as shall be reasonably necessary for the Company to enforce such rights.

be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio.
