and Officers.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company is an Indiana
corporation. The Company&rsquo;s officers and directors are and will be indemnified under Indiana law and the Company&rsquo;s Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation against certain liabilities. Chapter&nbsp;37 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the
&ldquo;IBCL&rdquo;) requires a corporation, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, 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, <FONT STYLE="color: black">administrative</FONT> or investigative and whether
formal or informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Company&rsquo;s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provision limiting such indemnification.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">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 was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i)&nbsp;the individual&rsquo;s
conduct was in good faith and (ii)&nbsp;the individual reasonably believed (A)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in the individual&rsquo;s
official capacity with the corporation that the conduct was in the corporation&rsquo;s best interests and (B)&nbsp;in all other
cases that the individual&rsquo;s conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s best interests and (iii)&nbsp;in
the case of a criminal proceeding, the <FONT STYLE="color: black">individual</FONT> either (A)&nbsp;had reasonable cause to believe
the individual&rsquo;s conduct was lawful or (B)&nbsp;had no reasonable cause to believe the individual&rsquo;s conduct was unlawful.
The IBCL also permits a corporation 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 or officer 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="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company&rsquo;s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation require it to provide indemnification to its directors, officers, employees and
agents to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also authorize the Company
to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, but only upon
receipt of (i) a written affirmation of the indemnified person&rsquo;s good faith belief that he or she has met the requisite standard
of conduct and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The Company&rsquo;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also authorize
it to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company,
or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against or incurred
by the individual in that capacity or arising from the individual&rsquo;s status as a director, officer, employee or agent, whether
or not the Company would have power to indemnify such person against the same liability under its Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation. The Company currently maintains officer and director liability insurance.</P>
