in connection with the defense of any such claim, including counsel fees; and, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, the corporation is required to indemnify an Eligible Person against reasonable expenses if he is wholly successful in any
such proceeding, on the merits or otherwise. Under certain circumstances, a corporation may pay or reimburse an Eligible Person for reasonable expenses prior to final disposition of the matter. Unless a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation
provide otherwise, an Eligible Person may apply for indemnification to a court which may order indemnification upon a determination that the Eligible Person is entitled to mandatory indemnification for reasonable expenses or that the Eligible Person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances without regard to whether his actions satisfied the appropriate standard of conduct. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before a corporation may indemnify any Eligible Person against liability or reasonable expenses under the IBCL, a quorum consisting of
directors who are not parties to the proceeding must (1)&nbsp;determine the indemnification is permissible in the specific circumstances because the Eligible Person met the requisite standard of conduct, (2)&nbsp;authorize the corporation to
indemnify the Eligible Person and (3)&nbsp;if appropriate, evaluate the reasonableness of expenses for which indemnification is sought. If it is not possible to obtain a quorum of uninvolved directors, a committee of the board consisting of at least
two uninvolved directors, the special legal counsel selected by the Board or such a committee, or the shareholders of the corporation shall make such determinations, authorizations and evaluations. </P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling
persons pursuant to the following provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The Indiana Business Corporation Law ("IBCL"), the provisions of which we are governed by, empowers an Indiana corporation to
indemnify present and former directors, officers, employees or agents or any person who may have served at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation ("Eligible Persons") against
liability incurred in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in which the Eligible Person is made a party by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, if the individual acted in good faith and reasonably
believed that (a) the individual was acting in the best interests of the corporation, or (b) if the challenged action was taken other than in the individual's official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent, the
individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests, or (c) if in a criminal proceeding, either the individual had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
The IBCL further empowers a corporation to pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an Eligible Person
in connection with the defense of any such claim, including counsel fees; and, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, the corporation is required to indemnify an Eligible Person against reasonable expenses if he is wholly successful in any
such proceeding, on the merits or otherwise. Under certain circumstances, a corporation may pay or reimburse an Eligible Person for reasonable expenses prior to final disposition of the matter. Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation
provide otherwise, an Eligible Person may apply for indemnification to a court which may order indemnification upon a determination that the Eligible Person is entitled to mandatory indemnification for reasonable expenses or that the Eligible Person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances without regard to whether his actions satisfied the appropriate standard of conduct.
Before a corporation may indemnify any Eligible Person against liability or reasonable expenses under the IBCL, a quorum consisting of
directors who are not parties to the proceeding must (1) determine the indemnification is permissible in the specific circumstances because the Eligible Person met the requisite standard of conduct, (2) authorize the corporation to
indemnify the Eligible Person and (3) if appropriate, evaluate the reasonableness of expenses for which indemnification is sought. If it is not possible to obtain a quorum of uninvolved directors, a committee of the board consisting of at least
two uninvolved directors, the special legal counsel selected by the Board or such a committee, or the shareholders of the corporation shall make such determinations, authorizations and evaluations.
3
In addition to the foregoing, the IBCL states that the indemnification it provides shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any provision of a corporation's articles of incorporation or
by-laws,
resolution of the board of directors or
shareholders, or any other authorization adopted after notice by a majority vote of all the voting shares then issued and outstanding. The IBCL also empowers an Indiana corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Eligible Person
against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in any capacity as such, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have had the power to indemnify him against such liability.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to the Company or any of our shareholders for
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for breach of duty if such breach constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.
Our
By-laws
provide for mandatory indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by law, of our
directors and officers against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed investigation,
claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in which such person is or was involved in any manner (including as a party or
witness) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan). The right to indemnification is a contract right and includes the right to advancement of expenses in accordance with specified procedures.
The rights to indemnification provided by our Articles of Incorporation and
By-laws
are not exclusive
of any other rights to which any indemnified person may otherwise be entitled.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our
directors, pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and our
By-laws,
each such director against any and all expenses (including
attorney's fees and related disbursements, appeal bonds and other
out-of-pocket
costs), judgments, amounts paid on settlement, liabilities or actually and
reasonably incurred by such director by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director (or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), or by reason of any actual or alleged action or omission to act taken or omitted in any such capacity. The indemnification agreements set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a
claim for indemnification thereunder. In addition, the agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by a director, subject to certain exceptions, in connection with any action, suit or proceeding covered by the agreement.
We have purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance, the effect of which is to indemnify our directors and officers and
the directors and officers of our subsidiaries against certain losses caused by errors, misstatement or misleading statements, wrongful acts, omissions, neglect or breach of duty by them or similar matters claimed against them in their capacities as
directors or officers. This insurance is subject to various deductibles and exclusions from coverage.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Filing Fee Table" in the effective Registration
Statement; and
(iii) 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(3) 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
5
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
6

S-8

Columbia on May 24, 2023.
