Durham; Terry G. Whitesell; Jeffrey W. Osler; Diamond Investments, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (Diamond); Durham Whitesell & Associates, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (DWA); and Fair Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (Fair Holdings).

Mr. Durham is a citizen of the United States and his principal address is 111 Monument Circle, Suite 4800, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Mr. Durham serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, as a Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of OCC, as the Managing Member of Diamond, as a Managing Member of DWA and as Chairman of Fair Holdings, Inc. The address of the principal offices of the Issuer and OCC is 111 Monument Circle, Suite 4800, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.
Mr. Whitesell is a citizen of the United States and his principal address is 111 Monument Circle, Suite 4800, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
This Amendment No. 4 is not reporting on the acquisition by the reporting person of any additional Common Stock at this time.
Based upon the recent financial performance of the Issuer and the financial and administrative burdens of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Reporting Persons are currently exploring, and may propose, a transaction which would result in the Issuer becoming a private company (a Transaction). Any Transaction would be intended to bring the total number of the Issuers shareholders to under 300 and enable the Issuer to deregister its common stock and terminate all reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Reporting Persons are currently evaluating various structures for such a Transaction, and such structures may include the Reporting Persons proposing to the Issuer a reverse stock split or a merger of the Issuer and a newly formed entity owned by the Reporting Persons in which shareholders of the Issuer other than the Reporting Persons would receive cash in exchange for their shares of the Issuer. At this time, no party, including any Reporting Person, is legally obligated to propose or engage in any Transaction and, upon the completion of their evaluation, the Reporting Persons may determine not to propose or engage in a Transaction at any time in the foreseeable future or may determine to propose or engage in any number of alternative Transactions.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer.
(a)-(b) Information on the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is included in the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 and is incorporated herein by reference. This Amendment No. 4 also amends the number of shares over which Mr. Durham has Shared Voting Power and Shared Dispositive Power, which was inadvertently reported incorrectly in prior filings in an immaterial amount.
Messrs. Durham, Whitesell and Osler may be deemed to beneficially own and share voting and dispositive power with respect to shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership, Diamond, DWA and/or Fair Holdings because of the interests in or positions they hold with one or more of those entities as reported in response to Item 2. The information in Item 2 is incorporated herein by reference. OCC is the general partner of the Partnership and may be deemed to beneficially own and share voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership.
(c) None.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
At this time there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to the Transaction, if any, described in Item 4 above. The information set forth in Item 2 is incorporated herein by reference.
