               (iii) Any payment so required to be made by UCFC or Parent pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be by transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified in writing by UCFC or Parent (as the case may be) and shall bear interest from the Closing Date through the date of payment at the rate of 3.25% per annum.

ARTICLE 6

In addition to the terms, provisions and covenants of the Confidentiality Agreement dated September 25, 2008, between Parent and the Company, which shall remain in full force and effect until Closing, Parent acknowledges that, in the course of its investigation of the Company, Parent and its representatives have and will become aware of Confidential Information and documents of the Company, and that its use of such Confidential Information and documents, or communication of such Confidential Information to third parties, could be detrimental to the Company. Parent (the “Receiving Party”) covenants that prior to Closing all information and documents concerning the Company (the “Disclosing Party”) reviewed by a Receiving Party or its representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be maintained in confidence and shall not be disclosed or used by the Receiving Party or its representatives without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, unless such information (i) was, is now or becomes publicly available, (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (iii) was disclosed to a Receiving Party by a third party not subject to any duty of confidentiality to UCFC, BWC or the Company, or Parent, as the case may be, or (iv) required to be disclosed by the rules of a securities exchange on which Parent may from time to time be listed or the SEC.

10.12-30

          (o) not enter into any agreement (conditional or otherwise) to do any of the foregoing.

     6.3 Covenant Not To Compete.

          (a) Non-Compete. UCFC acknowledges and agrees that the Business is conducted within the geographic area described in Section 6.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Territory”) and that the Company’s reputation and goodwill are an integral part of its business success throughout the Territory. If UCFC deprives Parent of the Company’s goodwill (except any goodwill associated with the Company’s current name) or in any manner utilize its reputation and goodwill in competition with Parent, Parent will be deprived of the benefits it has paid for pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, as an inducement for Parent to enter into this Agreement, UCFC agrees that for a period ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), neither UCFC nor any Controlled Affiliate of UCFC shall, without Parent’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, own a controlling interest in, or manage or operate, any company, organization or business in the Territory, that is engaged in the trust or fiduciary business, which such business shall include the Business of the Company. Further, during the Non-Competition Period, neither UCFC nor any of its Controlled Affiliates shall directly solicit any employee or agent of the Company to work for UCFC or its Controlled Affiliates in the trust or fiduciary services industry; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on solicitation shall not apply (i) if such employee or agent’s relationship with the Company has terminated for any reason, or (ii) if such employee or agent is hired as a result of general solicitation for employment not specifically targeted to employees of the Company engaged in the Business. During the Non-Competition Period, neither UCFC nor any of its Controlled Affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit any Company Customer as of the Effective Date for the purpose of offering trust or fiduciary services which are offered by the Company as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) UCFC shall not be prohibited from acquiring any thrift or bank that owns and operates a trust company and in the event UCFC is acquired by any third party, such third party shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.3(a), and (ii) UCFC’s savings bank subsidiary shall not be prohibited from engaging in any trust or fiduciary activities or offering any trust or fiduciary services that are otherwise permitted in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or otherwise from contracting with third parties to provide or offer its customers with trust fiduciary services or brokerage, investment advisory, insurance or other related services at its branch locations in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. In the event the agreement in this Section 6.3 shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

          (b) Remedies. UCFC acknowledges that a breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6.3 will cause irreparable damage to Parent, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be

10.12-31

inadequate. Accordingly, UCFC agrees that if it breaches the covenants contained in this Section 6.3, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or in equity, Parent shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security.

     6.4 Taxes.

          (a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be split equally and paid by UCFC and Parent, and UCFC and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and if required by Requirements of Law, Parent will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

          (b) Other than the consolidated federal Income Tax Return of UCFC of which the Company is a member, the Company shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company for any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date. The Company shall be responsible for payment of any Taxes shown due on such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practices of the Company, except as required by any applicable Requirement of Law. Parent shall permit UCFC or its representatives to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in this paragraph prior to filing, and Parent shall make all changes reasonably requested by UCFC in good faith (unless Parent is advised in writing by its independent outside accountants or attorneys that such changes are contrary to applicable law). In the event that Parent and UCFC are unable to agree on the reporting of any item on such Tax Returns, Parent and UCFC shall mutually choose an independent public accounting firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such firm with respect to such item shall be final.

          (c) Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all non-federal Tax Returns pertaining to the Company for any taxable year or period commencing prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). The Company shall be responsible for payment of any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns.

          (d) Parent and UCFC agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practical, such information (including reasonable access to books and records, Tax Returns and Tax filings) and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the conduct of any Tax audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax matter. Parent and UCFC shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax audit, accounting audit or other Tax proceeding and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 6.4. Any Tax audit or other Tax proceeding shall be deemed to be a Third Person Claim subject to the procedures set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement.

10.12-32

          (e) Section 338 Election.

     (i) At or after the Closing, at the option of Parent, in its sole discretion, UCFC and Parent shall make the election provided for by Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding elections under state or local tax law (the “Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Stock; provided, Parent pays to UCFC the Tax Neutrality Payment (as provided and defined in paragraph (ii) below). UCFC and Parent shall cooperate and provide to the other all necessary information to evaluate making the Election and to permit the Election to be made. UCFC and Parent shall take all actions that are reasonable, necessary, customary and required by Requirement of Law to effectuate and preserve the Election and mutually determine (X) which forms, returns, elections, schedules, attachments and other documents are to be prepared and/or filed (and the content thereof) to effectuate the Election in accordance with Requirement of Law, (Y) the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Company in accordance with Requirement of Law relating to the Election, and (Z) any other matters and decisions that are necessary and/or customary to effectuate the Election in accordance with Requirement of Law.

     (ii) The “Tax Neutrality Payment” shall equal an amount necessary to make the after-tax net proceeds of UCFC and BWC from the purchase and sale of the Shares with the Election in effect the same as the after-tax net proceeds of UCFC and BWC from the purchase and sale of the Shares would be without the Election in effect; provided that, if the forgoing calculation would result in a negative number, then the Tax Neutrality Payment shall be equal to zero ($0.00). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no case later than the 8 months after the Closing Date, UCFC shall provide Parent with a calculation of the Tax Neutrality Payment and all information required to calculate the Tax Neutrality Payment, which includes final inside/outside tax basis calculations for UCFC and BWC and the consolidated effective tax rates based on state tax apportionment data as of the Closing Date. Within 30 days after Parent is provided such information, Parent shall notify UCFC in writing if it disagrees with the amount of the Tax Neutrality Payment as calculated by UCFC. If Parent does not timely notify UCFC that it disagrees with UCFC’s calculation of the Tax Neutrality Payment, the Tax Neutrality Payment calculated by UCFC shall be the final Tax Neutrality Payment and binding on the parties. In the event that Parent and UCFC are unable to resolve their differences within 10 days, Parent and UCFC shall mutually choose an independent public accounting firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such firm with respect to such item shall be final. UCFC, on one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the cost of the independent public accounting firm for calculating the Tax Neutrality Payment. The final Tax Neutrality Payment shall be paid in accordance with paragraph (iii) of this subsection.

     (iii) To the extent the amount of the Tax Neutrality Payment is a positive amount, Parent shall pay to UCFC an amount equal to the Tax Neutrality Payment within 10 days after the date on which such amount is finally determined. If no Election is made, the Tax Neutrality Payment is deemed to be zero ($0.00).

10.12-33

          (f) Management Closing Bonus Deduction.

     (i) UCFC, Parent, BWC and the Company agree that UCFC and/or BWC will claim a deduction for federal and state tax purposes (to the extent such deduction is legally allowed to be claimed) of the full amount of the Management Closing Bonus Amount on the tax return that includes the Closing Date (and that the Company will not claim a deduction for such amount for any taxable year beginning subsequent to such Closing Date).

     (ii) In the event that after the Closing Date, Parent, the Company or any related party thereto takes any action that results in the non-deductibility (in whole or in part) of the Management Closing Bonus Amount by UCFC and/or BWC, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless UCFC and/or BWC, on an after-tax basis, for any Losses attributable to such lost deduction.

     6.5 Employees of the Company.

          (a) Plans to be Withdrawn from or Transferred by the Company. UCFC and/or BWC hereby agrees that it shall take or cause the Company to take all necessary action to cause the withdrawal of the Company, as a participating employer, from all UCFC Benefit Plans, and each Company Benefit Plan with respect to which the Company is a participating employer, but not the sponsor, effective as of or prior to the Closing Date. UCFC and/or BWC further agree to take all necessary action prior to Closing to withdraw from any Company Benefit Plan in which the Company is the plan sponsor and UCFC and/or BWC is a participating employer. All payroll and certain other benefits for Business Employees shall continue to be provided to the Company after the date of this Agreement by Xxxxxx Xxxx & Co. in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

          (b) Reserved.

          (c) Senior Management Agreements. At or prior to the Closing Date, BWC and/or the Company shall cause the change of control agreements and all other agreements and compensation arrangements applicable to the Company and the Business between BWC and/or the Company and the senior management officers identified on Schedule 6.5(c) to be terminated, and no further payments (other than contemplated by this Section 6.5(c)) shall be made thereunder. Such terminations shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and UCFC. At or prior to the Closing Date, BWC and/or the Company shall cause a payment to be made to the executive officer identified on Schedule 6.5(c) (the “Senior Executive Officer”) of an amount identified in Schedule 6.5(c) (such amount, the “Management Closing Bonus Amount”), subject to such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between BWC and/or the Company and the Senior Executive Officer; provided, however, that the payment of the Management Closing Bonus Amount to the Senior Executive Officer will be considered to have occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          (d) Severance Payments. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall establish reasonable severance policy provisions to facilitate the

10.12-34

     9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties made by any Party in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter or any certificates or documents delivered hereunder, shall survive the Closing Date and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and will continue for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that such expiration shall have no effect on any notice of claim made prior to such expiration with respect to any breach of such representation or warranty occurring prior to such expiration and set out in such notice of claim; and provided further, that the representations and warranties of UCFC and the Company contained in (i) Section 3.17 (Company Capitalization) and Section 4.1 (Ownership) shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely and not terminate, and (ii) Section 3.16 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation, including any suspensions, tollings or extensions thereof; provided, however, that any such expiration shall have no effect on any notice of claim made prior to such expiration with respect to any breach of such representation or warranty occurring prior to such expiration and set out in such notice of claim. No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for breach of any such surviving representation and warranty unless a notice of claim of such breach has been given to the Indemnifying Party within the period of survival of such representation and warranty as set forth herein.

     9.2 Indemnification by UCFC and BWC. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 9, including the limitations with respect to amounts and sources of funds set

10.12-41

forth in Section 9.6 below, among others, from and after Closing, UCFC and BWC shall jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) and the shareholders, directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives and agents of each of them in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Persons” and each a “Parent Indemnified Person”), from and against, and UCFC and BWC shall not have, and shall have deemed to waive, any claim for contribution or indemnity against any such Parent Indemnified Person with respect to, any and all claims, losses, monetary damages, liabilities, fines, fees, penalties, expenses or costs (collectively, “Losses”), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including court costs and expert witness fees and costs, incurred in connection with Losses, but excluding consequential, punitive, indirect, exemplary damages or any damages measured by lost profits or a multiple of earnings; provided however, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply to amounts paid to unaffiliated third parties in respect of an indemnifiable claim hereunder (in all, “Indemnified Losses”), incurred or to be incurred by any of them resulting from or arising out of the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, or other obligation of the Company or UCFC made or incurred under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Agreements delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing.

     9.3 Indemnification by Parent. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 9, including the limitations set forth in Section 9.6 below, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless UCFC and BWC and their respective heirs, legal representatives, assigns and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any of them, resulting from or arising out of the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty, or other obligation of Parent made or incurred under this Agreement or the Related Agreements delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing.

     9.4 Notice of Claim. In the event that Parent seeks indemnification on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Person, or UCFC seeks indemnification on behalf of a Seller Indemnified Person, such Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually irrevocably and materially prejudiced thereby. Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim not more than 20 days after the Indemnified Party provides notice to the Indemnifying Party of such amount.

     9.5 Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons. If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder (notwithstanding the limitations contained in Section 9.6 hereof) because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an indemnified person hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice

10.12-42

unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually irrevocably and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to control any such matter including the right to investigate, contest or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”), provided that the Indemnifying Party has unconditionally acknowledged to the Indemnified Party in writing of its obligation, subject to any and all limitations contained in this Article 9, to indemnify the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Persons with respect to such Third Person Claim and to discharge (and does in fact so discharge) any cost or expense arising out of such investigation, contest or settlement. The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party so acknowledges its obligation to indemnify, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter and to look to the Indemnifying Party for the full amount of the reasonable costs of defense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such Third Person Claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of the Indemnified Party in the defense and/or settlement of such Third Person Claim constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.

     9.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, UCFC and BWC shall have no obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons in respect of Indemnified Losses until all Indemnified Losses exceed $75,000 (after application of any reserves previously established and included in the Reference Balance Sheet, all in accordance with GAAP) in the aggregate and then only for those Indemnified Losses in excess of $75,000 (except for Indemnified Losses resulting from or arising under Section 3.17 (Company Capitalization) and Section 4.1 (Ownership), as to which the foregoing $75,000 limitation shall not apply). Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall UCFC and BWC be liable to or be required to indemnify any of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any Indemnifiable Loss or Losses of any of the Parent Indemnified Parties under Sections 9.2 hereof that arise after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date at which time the obligations contained in such sections shall terminate; provided, however, that any such expiration shall have no effect on any notice of any specific claim made by any Parent Indemnified Persons occurring prior to any such expiration set forth in such notice of claim.

          (b) In no event shall the Sellers have any obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons in respect of Indemnified Losses (over and above the $75,000 limitation in Section 9.6(a)) in excess of $1,500,000 (except for Indemnified Losses resulting from or arising under Section 3.17 (Company Capitalization) and Section 4.1 (Ownership), as to which the foregoing $1,500,000 limitation shall not apply).

10.12-43

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party (whether Parent or UCFC) nor any of such party’s indemnified Persons (whether Parent Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons) will have any right to claims for indemnification of Indemnified Losses related to matters as to which such party (whether Parent or UCFC) or any of its representatives or agents had actual knowledge at or prior to the Closing; provided that knowledge that the officers, employees or agents of the Company possessed prior to Closing shall not be imputed to the Parent simply by reason of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereby. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, as the same may be qualified by the applicable disclosure letters, of the Company, UCFC and BWC and Parent, and any amendments or supplements thereto, no party makes any other express or implied representation or warranty to the others, and the parties acknowledge that, in entering into this Agreement, they have not relied on any representations or warranties of any party other than the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, as the same may be qualified by the applicable disclosure letters, and any amendments or supplements thereto.

     9.7 Indemnified Losses Covered by Insurance. To avoid any duplicative recovery by the any Indemnified Parties, any such Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification to the extent of any available insurance proceeds for any such Loss or Losses (whether under the Company’s or Parent’s insurance policies), less the reasonable expenses incurred to obtain such proceeds. Parent and UCFC agree that any Indemnifying Party may pursue coverage of any Indemnifiable Loss for the benefit of an Indemnified Party under all available insurance policies, including control of any required litigation against an insurer. Any such Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts (but shall not be required to institute legal proceedings) to pursue insurance claims that may reduce such Indemnified Losses.

     9.8. Characterization of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered, to the extent permissible under Requirements of Law, as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

     9.9. Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 9 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may pursue injunctive relief for breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein and in the event of any acts of fraud, the Parties shall have all remedies available in law or in equity (including for tort) with respect to such fraud.

     11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the UCFC Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings relative to such subject matter.

     11.3 Amendment and Modification. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement shall be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written agreement between Parent and UCFC.

     11.4 Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Agreement and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their successors, and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be transferred, delegated, or assigned (by operation of law or otherwise), by the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that (i) Parent shall have the right to transfer and assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any entity which at the time of such transfer and assignment is controlled by Parent or by an Affiliate of Parent, provided that, in the event of any such assignment, Parent shall remain liable in full for the performance of the obligations hereunder of Parent and its assignee; and (ii) UCFC shall have the right to assign its rights to receive payments, but not its obligations, hereunder.

     11.5 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of either UCFC, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by Parent, on the one hand, or UCFC, on the other hand, only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or

10.12-47

failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any Party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 11.5.

     11.6 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 10.3, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs or expenses.

     11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any party hereto may execute this Agreement by electronic signature (including facsimile or portable document format (PDF)), and the other parties hereto will be entitled to rely on such signature as conclusive evidence that this Agreement has been duly executed by such party.

     11.8 Severability. Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 6.3(a) regarding judicial modification of the covenant not to compete, if any other provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be contrary to law and unenforceable by any court of law, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

     11.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its choice of law rules.

     11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries or Other Rights. Nothing contained herein, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 6.5 regarding employees of the Company, shall grant to or create in any Person not a Party hereto, or any such Person’s dependents, heirs, successors or assigns, any right to any benefits hereunder, and no such Person shall be entitled to xxx any Party to this Agreement with respect thereto. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are made for purposes of this Agreement only and shall not be construed to confer any additional rights on the Parties under applicable state and federal securities laws.

     11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY

10.12-48

ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 11.11.

     11.12 Company Disclosure Letter. The sections of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections, and except as otherwise identified on such disclosure schedules or sections, the disclosure in any numbered or lettered section shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section, and not any other representation or warranty; provided that the inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by the Company that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect..

     11.13 Headings; Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Each reference in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, unless otherwise indicated, shall mean an Article or a Section of this Agreement or a Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement, respectively.
