<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant is an Ohio corporation. Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code (the &#147;Code&#148;) sets forth conditions and
limitations governing the indemnification of directors, officers, and certain other persons (&#147;Indemnified Persons&#148;). In general, the Code authorizes the Registrant to indemnify Indemnified Persons from liability if the Indemnified Person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal actions or proceedings, if the Indemnified Person had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant, indemnification is prohibited in certain circumstances, including (i)&nbsp;if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable for negligence
or misconduct in the performance of such person&#146;s duties to the Registrant, unless an appropriate court determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper, or
(ii)&nbsp;if the only liability asserted against a director concerns certain unlawful dividends, distributions and other payments. Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the Code provides that to the extent an Indemnified Person has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, that Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification authorized under Ohio law is not exclusive and is
in addition to any other rights granted to officers and directors under the Articles of Incorporation or Code of Regulations of the Registrant or any agreement with directors, officers and certain other persons. The Registrant may purchase and
maintain insurance or furnish similar protection on behalf of any Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against and incurred by an Indemnified Person in his or her capacity, or arising out of his or her status, as a director, officer or
certain other person, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the Code. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article V of the Registrant&#146;s Code of Regulations provides that the Registrant will, to the full extent permitted or authorized by the
Ohio General Corporation Law, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant 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. The Code of Regulations further provides that
the Registrant shall pay, to the full extent permitted or authorized by the Ohio General Corporation Law, expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, as they are incurred by any director or officer in defending any such action, suit, or proceeding.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Code of Regulations shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation
or Code of Regulations, or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her 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 a director, officer, or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of that person. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant maintains liability insurance for all of its directors and officers (&#147;D&amp;O insurance&#148;). This D&amp;O insurance
also insures the Registrant against amounts payable to indemnify directors and officers, subject to policy limits and retention amounts. The Registrant also has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its directors and officers (the forms of
which have been filed as Exhibits <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-c-1</FONT></FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-c-2</FONT></FONT> to the Registrant&#146;s Annual
Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2016) that generally (a)&nbsp;provide directors and officers with the indemnification to which they are now entitled notwithstanding any amendment
of the Registrant&#146;s Code of Regulations or Articles of Incorporation, (b)&nbsp;obligate the Registrant to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect D&amp;O insurance that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount
to that provided by the Registrant&#146;s current D&amp;O insurance, and (c)&nbsp;provide further assurance to the directors and officers that they will be advanced, or reimbursed for, expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any
indemnifiable claim (as defined in the agreement) paid or incurred by the director or officer or which the director or officer determines are reasonably likely to be paid or incurred in connection with an indemnifiable claim. </P>
