(a) At the effective date of the plan of

or trustees of the trust shall:
(1) be appointed by the board of directors of the converting

and
(2) consist of one (1) or more institutions authorized by Indiana
law to act as corporate trustees.

(1) are the eligible members who, in the absence of the claims,
would have been entitled to the consideration placed in the trust;
and
(2) may consist of all of the eligible members or specified classes
or groups of eligible members.
(c) Assets of the trust shall be made available to pay or otherwise
satisfy the claims for which the trust has been established, the expenses
of the trust in contesting or resolving those claims, and any other
reasonable expenses of the trust. Upon final resolution of the claims,

shall be distributed to the beneficiaries in accordance with their
respective interests in the trust.
