<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended (the &#147;IBCL&#148;), provides that a corporation, unless limited by its articles of
incorporation, is required to indemnify a director or an officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, to which the director or officer is a party because of his or her service as a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in
connection with the proceeding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is made a
party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i)&nbsp;the individual&#146;s conduct was in good faith and (ii)&nbsp;the individual
reasonably believed (A)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in the individual&#146;s official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in the corporation&#146;s best interests and (B)&nbsp;in all other cases that the individual&#146;s conduct was
at least not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A)&nbsp;had reasonable cause to believe the individual&#146;s conduct was lawful or (B)&nbsp;had no reasonable
cause to believe the individual&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The IBCL also permits a corporation, under certain circumstances, including that the individual furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or
she has met the above standard of conduct and a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct, to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final
disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in
view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the IBCL, the Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of the Company&#146;s
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the IBCL, or otherwise consistent with the public policy of the State of Indiana, including, but not limited to, against any and all liability and reasonable
expense that may be incurred by them, in connection with or resulting from any pending, threatened or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding and all appeals thereof (whether brought by or in the right of the Company or any other corporation or
otherwise), civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, formal or informal, in which they may become involved as a party or otherwise by reason of being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent thereof or serving or having served
at the Company&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee, member, manager, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other organization or
entity, whether for profit or not, or by reason of any action taken or not taken by such individual in such capacity. To be entitled to indemnification, those persons must have been wholly successful in the claim, action, suit or proceeding or the
board of directors must have determined, based upon a written finding of legal counsel or another independent referee, or a court of competent jurisdiction must have determined, that such persons acted in good faith in what they reasonably believed
to be the best interest of the Company (or at least not opposed to its best interests) and, in addition, in any criminal action, had reasonable cause to believe their conduct was lawful (or had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was
unlawful). The Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize the Company to advance funds for expenses to an indemnified person, but only upon receipt of an undertaking that he or she will repay the same if it is ultimately
determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The rights of indemnification provided by the Company&#146;s amended and
restated articles of incorporation are not exhaustive and are in addition to any rights to which a director or officer may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law. Irrespective of the provisions of the Company&#146;s amended and
restated articles of incorporation, the Company may, at any time and from time to time, indemnify directors, officers, employees and other persons to the full extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law at the time in effect, whether on
account of past or future transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Company has obtained a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability and company
reimbursement policy that insures against certain liabilities under the Securities Act, subject to applicable retentions. </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.
The Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended (the "IBCL"), provides that a corporation, unless limited by its articles of
incorporation, is required to indemnify a director or an officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, to which the director or officer is a party because of his or her service as a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in
connection with the proceeding.
The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is made a
party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individual's conduct was in good faith and (ii) the individual
reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in the corporation's best interests and (B) in all other cases that the individual's conduct was
at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A) had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or (B) had no reasonable
cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. The IBCL also permits a corporation, under certain circumstances, including that the individual furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or
she has met the above standard of conduct and a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct, to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final
disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in
view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.
As permitted by the IBCL, the Company's amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of the Company's
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the IBCL, or otherwise consistent with the public policy of the State of Indiana, including, but not limited to, against any and all liability and reasonable
expense that may be incurred by them, in connection with or resulting from any pending, threatened or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding and all appeals thereof (whether brought by or in the right of the Company or any other corporation or
otherwise), civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, formal or informal, in which they may become involved as a party or otherwise by reason of being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent thereof or serving or having served
at the Company's request as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee, member, manager, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other organization or
entity, whether for profit or not, or by reason of any action taken or not taken by such individual in such capacity. To be entitled to indemnification, those persons must have been wholly successful in the claim, action, suit or proceeding or the
board of directors must have determined, based upon a written finding of legal counsel or another independent referee, or a court of competent jurisdiction must have determined, that such persons acted in good faith in what they reasonably believed
to be the best interest of the Company (or at least not opposed to its best interests) and, in addition, in any criminal action, had reasonable cause to believe their conduct was lawful (or had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was
unlawful). The Company's amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize the Company to advance funds for expenses to an indemnified person, but only upon receipt of an undertaking that he or she will repay the same if it is ultimately
determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification.
The rights of indemnification provided by the Company's amended and
restated articles of incorporation are not exhaustive and are in addition to any rights to which a director or officer may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law. Irrespective of the provisions of the Company's amended and
restated articles of incorporation, the Company may, at any time and from time to time, indemnify directors, officers, employees and other persons to the full extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law at the time in effect, whether on
account of past or future transactions.
In addition, the Company has obtained a directors' and officers' liability and company
reimbursement policy that insures against certain liabilities under the Securities Act, subject to applicable retentions.

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 of 1933 (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;
(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) above 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in this 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 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the undersigned registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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.
