1Opinion of the Court
On Petition To Transfer from the Indiana Court of Appeals, No. 49A02-0507-CV~-684.
BOEHM, J.
We hold that the term "principal office" as used in subsections (4) and (10) of Trial Rule 75(A) refers to a domestic or foreign corporation's registered office in Indiana. We also hold that subsection (10) of Trial Rule 75(A) establishes preferred venue under two cireumstances: (1) when none of the preceding nine subsections are applicable or (2) when "all the defendants are nonresident individuals or nonresident organizations without a principal office in the state."
