(A) the health care provider; or
(B) an owner, employee, or agent of the health care provider.
(2) A loan or an investment from a person who receives services from a health care provider to the health care provider in the corporate name of the health care provider.
(b) A transaction under subsection (a) must be executed by a competent person (including a person other than the health care provider exercising a durable power of attorney on behalf of the donor) in writing and witnessed by two (2) disinterested parties. Each witness shall sign a document that describes the transaction in the presence of:
(1) the person who makes the transaction; and
(2) the other witness.
