The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the SEC:
 
(a)  The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010;
 
(b)  The Registrant’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2010; and
 
(c)  The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock and the Preferred Share Purchase Rights contained in a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on April 3, 1996 pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange   Act.
 

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference to this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
  
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which is also deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

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 Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provide that it shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Indiana Business Corporation Law. The Registrant’s By-laws require the company to indemnify its directors and officers and such provisions require it, among other things, (i) to indemnify officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers provided such persons acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action, had no cause to believe their conduct was unlawful; (ii) to advance the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by its officers and directors as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and (iii) to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable terms. The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering all directors and officers of the Registrant against claims arising from the performance of their duties. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to our knowledge, threatened which may result in a claim for indemnification by any director, officer, employee or agent.

Item 9.   Undertakings
 
 (a) The undersigned 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;
 
(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 SEC 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 “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 the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.

 (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 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.

(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 SEC 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.
