amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the

paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that directors and officers will
have no liability for money damages to us or our shareholders to the maximum extent permitted by
the Iowa Business Corporation Act. The Iowa Business Corporation Act permits all monetary liability
of directors to be eliminated except for: the amount of a financial benefit received by a director
to which the director is not entitled; an intentional infliction of harm on the company or its shareholders; an unlawful distribution to
shareholders; and an intentional violation of criminal law.
II-1
Table of Contents
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation require us to indemnify, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Iowa Business Corporation Act, each current or former director or officer
of the company who was or is made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was
serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent
of another entity. The Iowa Business Corporation Act permits indemnification of directors for any
liability except those for which the corporation may not eliminate the monetary liability of
directors, as described in the preceding paragraph, and permits indemnification of officers on
similar terms. This right to indemnification also includes the right to be paid by us the expenses
incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest
extent authorized by the Iowa Business Corporation Act.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation bylaws authorize us to purchase insurance
for us and for any of our directors, officers, employees or agents or those of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprises, against any expense, liability or loss,
whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such persons against such expense or liability
under the Iowa Business Corporation Act.

Undertakings
.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
II-2
Table of Contents
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
