Officers and directors may be indemnified where they have acted in good faith, which means, in the case of official action, they reasonably believed the conduct was in the corporation&#8217;s best interests, and in all other cases, they reasonably believed the action taken was not against the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of criminal proceedings they had reasonable cause to believe the action was lawful or there was no reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful. Chapter 37 of the IBCL also requires every Indiana corporation to indemnify any of its officers or directors (unless limited by the articles of incorporation of the corporation) who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. A corporation may also, under certain circumstances, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an officer or director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding. Chapter 37 of the IBCL states that the indemnification provided for therein is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the IBCL, of our directors, officers, employees and agents against liability and reasonable expenses that may be incurred by them in connection with proceedings in which they are made a party by reason of their relationship to the company.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Directors&#8217; and Officers&#8217; Liability Insurance</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We maintain directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance policies, which insure against liabilities that directors or officers may incur in such capacities.

Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the securities registered pursuant to this registration statement include unsold securities previously registered by the registrant on the registrant's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266962), originally filed on August 18, 2022, amended on August 25, 2022 and declared effective on August 31, 2022 (the "Prior Registration Statement"). The Prior Registration Statement registered the offer and sale of up to $350,000,000 of an indeterminate number of common shares, preferred shares, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, warrants, rights, and/or units. Of such securities, $320,675,000 remain unsold (the "Unsold Shelf Securities"), all of which the registrant has determined to include in this registration statement. In connection with the registration of the Unsold Shelf Securities on the Prior Registration Statement, the registrant paid a registration fee of $29,726.57 (calculated at the filing fee rate in effect at the time of the filing of the Prior Registration Statement). The registrant is not required to pay any additional registration fee with respect to the Unsold Shelf Securities being included in this registration statement in reliance on Rule 415(a)(6), because such Unsold Shelf Securities (and associated registration fees) are being carried over from the Prior Registration Statement to this registration statement. Accordingly, the amount of registration fee in the table above reflects only the registration fee attributable to the $29,325,000 of new securities registered on this registration statement. The registration fee previously paid by the registrant relating to the Unsold Shelf Securities included on this registration statement will continue to be applied to such Unsold Shelf Securities.

<td class="text">In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this registration statement shall be deemed to cover an indeterminate number of additional securities to be offered or issued from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the securities registered pursuant to this registration statement include unsold securities previously registered by the registrant on the registrant's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266962), originally filed on August 18, 2022, amended on August 25, 2022 and declared effective on August 31, 2022 (the "Prior Registration Statement"). The Prior Registration Statement registered the offer and sale of up to $350,000,000 of an indeterminate number of common shares, preferred shares, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, warrants, rights, and/or units. Of such securities, $320,675,000 remain unsold (the "Unsold Shelf Securities"), all of which the registrant has determined to include in this registration statement. In connection with the registration of the Unsold Shelf Securities on the Prior Registration Statement, the registrant paid a registration fee of $29,726.57 (calculated at the filing fee rate in effect at the time of the filing of the Prior Registration Statement). The registrant is not required to pay any additional registration fee with respect to the Unsold Shelf Securities being included in this registration statement in reliance on Rule 415(a)(6), because such Unsold Shelf Securities (and associated registration fees) are being carried over from the Prior Registration Statement to this registration statement. Accordingly, the amount of registration fee in the table above reflects only the registration fee attributable to the $29,325,000 of new securities registered on this registration statement. The registration fee previously paid by the registrant relating to the Unsold Shelf Securities included on this registration statement will continue to be applied to such Unsold Shelf Securities. During the grace period

There are being registered hereunder such indeterminate number of common shares, such indeterminate number of preferred shares, such indeterminate principal amount of senior debt securities, such indeterminate principal amount of subordinated debt securities, such indeterminate number of share purchase contracts to purchase common shares or other securities, such indeterminate number of warrants to purchase common shares, preferred shares or debt securities, such indeterminate number of rights and such indeterminate number of units as shall have an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $29,325,000.

    <ffd:OfferingNote contextRef="offrl_18" id="ixv-882">In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this registration statement shall be deemed to cover an indeterminate number of additional securities to be offered or issued from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the securities registered pursuant to this registration statement include unsold securities previously registered by the registrant on the registrant's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266962), originally filed on August 18, 2022, amended on August 25, 2022 and declared effective on August 31, 2022 (the "Prior Registration Statement"). The Prior Registration Statement registered the offer and sale of up to $350,000,000 of an indeterminate number of common shares, preferred shares, senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, warrants, rights, and/or units. Of such securities, $320,675,000 remain unsold (the "Unsold Shelf Securities"), all of which the registrant has determined to include in this registration statement. In connection with the registration of the Unsold Shelf Securities on the Prior Registration Statement, the registrant paid a registration fee of $29,726.57 (calculated at the filing fee rate in effect at the time of the filing of the Prior Registration Statement). The registrant is not required to pay any additional registration fee with respect to the Unsold Shelf Securities being included in this registration statement in reliance on Rule 415(a)(6), because such Unsold Shelf Securities (and associated registration fees) are being carried over from the Prior Registration Statement to this registration statement. Accordingly, the amount of registration fee in the table above reflects only the registration fee attributable to the $29,325,000 of new securities registered on this registration statement. The registration fee previously paid by the registrant relating to the Unsold Shelf Securities included on this registration statement will continue to be applied to such Unsold Shelf Securities.
