No Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment shall not create a presumption (other than any presumption arising as a matter of law that the parties may not contractually agree to disregard) that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Given that the Parties have had the opportunity to draft, review, and edit the language of this Agreement, no presumption for or against any Party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will be applied in any action involving this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties hereby waive the benefit of any federal, state or local law or regulation providing that in cases of uncertainty, language of a contract should be interpreted against the party who caused the uncertainty to exist. This Agreement is the product of a negotiated and bargained for exchange of mutual valuable consideration.

No Presumption Against Interest. This Addendum has been negotiated, drafted, edited and reviewed by the respective parties, and therefore, no provision arising directly or indirectly here from shall be construed against any party as being drafted by said party.

No Presumption and Opportunity to Review. The fact that this Agreement was drafted by one party shall create no presumptions and specifically shall not cause this Agreement or any part hereof to be construed against any party as the drafter. The Company hereby represents that it has had a full and fair opportunity to have this Agreement, and all related documents referred to herein, reviewed by counsel of its own choice.

Presumption of Entitlement. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company may overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the state or federal courts in Ohio. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

Drafting and Determination Presumption. The parties acknowledge that this Lease has been agreed to by both the parties, that both Landlord and Tenant have consulted with attorneys with respect to the terms of this Lease and that no presumption shall be created against Landlord because Landlord drafted this Lease. If Landlord fails to respond to any request for its consent within the time period, if any, specified in this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such request.

Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standard of Care. In making any determination required to be made under Delaware law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee submitted a request therefor in accordance with [Section 5] of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standards of Conduct. You shall be conclusively presumed to have met all relevant standards of conduct (if any) of applicable law for indemnification pursuant to this agreement, unless a determination is made that you have not met such standards by the reviewing party. Before any change in control of the Company, the reviewing party shall be any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board of Directors of the Company or any other person or body appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company who is not a party to the proceeding with respect to which you are seeking indemnification; after a change in control of the Company, the reviewing party shall be the independent counsel. With respect to all matters arising after a change in control of the Company concerning your right to indemnification under this agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for indemnifiable events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from independent counsel selected by you and approved by the Company, the approval of whom shall not be unreasonably withheld, and who has not otherwise performed services for the Company or you (other than in connection with indemnification matters) within the last five years. The independent counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or you in an action to determine your rights under this agreement. The independent counsel, among other things, shall render a written opinion to the Company and you as to whether and to what extent you should be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the independent counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this agreement or the engagement of independent counsel under this agreement.

Interpretation. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
