The  Registrant&#146;s  bylaws provide that the Registrant  shall  indemnify its
officers  and  directors to the fullest  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law.
Chapter 37 of the Indiana Business  Corporation law provides,  in general,  that
each  director  and  officer  of  a  corporation  may  be  indemnified   against
liabilities (including attorneys&#146;  fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he
or she is  involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer,  if he or she  acted  in  good  faith  and in a  manner  that he or she
reasonably  believed  to be in or  not  opposed  to  the  best  interest  of the
corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal  action or proceeding,  if he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  If
the legal  proceeding,  however,  is by or in the right of the corporation,  the
director or officer  may not be  indemnified  in respect of any claim,  issue or
matter as to which he or she has been  adjudged to be liable for  negligence  or
misconduct  in the  performance  of his or her duty to the  Registrant  unless a
court determines otherwise. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The  Registrant&#146;s  articles of  incorporation  provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law no director or officer of the Registrant will
be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided, however,
that such provision does not apply to any liability of a director or officer (a)
for breach of fiduciary duty if such breach  constitutes  willful  misconduct or
recklessness  or (b)  for  the  payment  of  distributions  to  shareholders  in
violation  of  Section  23-1-28-3  of  the  Indiana  Business  Corporation  Law.

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pursuant  to  separate  indemnification  agreements  with the  Registrant,  each
officer and  director of the  Registrant  is  indemnified  from all  liabilities
arising  out of the  activities  reasonably  taken in the  performance  of their
respective duties as officers and directors of the Registrant. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation" -->

The  Registrant  also  maintains  insurance for officers and  directors  against
certain liabilities,  including liabilities under the Securities Act. The effect
of this  insurance  is to  indemnify  any officer or director of the  Registrant
against  expenses,   including,   without  limitation,   attorneys&#146;   fees,
judgments,  fines and  amounts  paid in  settlement,  incurred  by an officer or
director upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The premiums
for such insurance are paid by the Registrant. </FONT></P>

(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  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<B>  </B>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. </FONT></P>

Not applicable.
Item 5.

The validity of the securities offered under the Registration Statement is being
passed upon for the Registrant by Bridget K. Quinn,  Esq., Counsel and Assistant
Secretary, in the Registrant's  Legal Department.  Ms. Quinn is an employee
of the  Registrant  and has  options  that can be  exercised  for  shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary of the material provisions of the Registrant's bylaws
relating to  indemnification  of directors and officers,  the  Registrant's
articles of  incorporation,  Registrant's  indemnification  agreements with
officers and directors and the Indiana Business  Corporation Law is not intended
to be exclusive  and is  qualified  in its entirety by such bylaws,  articles of
incorporation, indemnification agreements and statutes.
2
The  Registrant's  bylaws provide that the Registrant  shall  indemnify its
officers  and  directors to the fullest  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law.
Chapter 37 of the Indiana Business  Corporation law provides,  in general,  that
each  director  and  officer  of  a  corporation  may  be  indemnified   against
liabilities (including attorneys'  fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he
or she is  involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer,  if he or she  acted  in  good  faith  and in a  manner  that he or she
reasonably  believed  to be in or  not  opposed  to  the  best  interest  of the
corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal  action or proceeding,  if he or
she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  If
the legal  proceeding,  however,  is by or in the right of the corporation,  the
director or officer  may not be  indemnified  in respect of any claim,  issue or
matter as to which he or she has been  adjudged to be liable for  negligence  or
misconduct  in the  performance  of his or her duty to the  Registrant  unless a
court determines otherwise.
The  Registrant's  articles of  incorporation  provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law no director or officer of the Registrant will
be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided, however,
that such provision does not apply to any liability of a director or officer (a)
for breach of fiduciary duty if such breach  constitutes  willful  misconduct or
recklessness  or (b)  for  the  payment  of  distributions  to  shareholders  in
violation  of  Section  23-1-28-3  of  the  Indiana  Business  Corporation  Law.
Pursuant  to  separate  indemnification  agreements  with the  Registrant,  each
officer and  director of the  Registrant  is  indemnified  from all  liabilities
arising  out of the  activities  reasonably  taken in the  performance  of their
respective duties as officers and directors of the Registrant.
The  Registrant  also  maintains  insurance for officers and  directors  against
certain liabilities,  including liabilities under the Securities Act. The effect
of this  insurance  is to  indemnify  any officer or director of the  Registrant
against  expenses,   including,   without  limitation,   attorneys'   fees,
judgments,  fines and  amounts  paid in  settlement,  incurred  by an officer or
director upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The premiums
for such insurance are paid by the Registrant.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)     
          The 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 this  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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  any increase or decrease in the 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 a  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 percent  change in the maximum  aggregate
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration 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 this
registration  statement  or any  material  change  to such  information  in this
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 periodic reports filed by the Registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or
Section  15(d) of 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  will be  deemed  to be a new  registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that  time  will 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 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 this  registration  statement
will be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the  securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will 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 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.
