Sec. 3.5. “Beneficial owner”, for purposes of IC 23-1-22-4, IC 23-1-30-4, and IC 23-1-43, means a person that:
(1) individually or with or through any of its affiliates or associates beneficially owns the shares, directly or indirectly;
(2) individually or with or through any of its affiliates or associates, has:
(A) the right to acquire the shares at any time, under any agreement, arrangement, or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants, options, or otherwise; or

However, a person is not a beneficial owner of shares tendered under a tender or exchange offer made by the person or any of the person's affiliates or associates until the tendered shares are accepted for purchase or exchange, and a person is not a beneficial owner of shares under clause (B) if the agreement, arrangement, or understanding to vote the shares arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made in accordance with the applicable regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not then reportable on a Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any comparable or successor report;
(3) has any agreement, arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except as provided in subdivision (2)), or disposing of the shares with any other person that beneficially owns or whose affiliates or associates beneficially own the shares, directly or indirectly; or
