Directors. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the &#147;MBCA&#148;) provides that a corporation shall indemnify any
person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of acts or omissions performed in his or her official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, including
without limitation, excise taxes assessed against such person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding,
if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, the person: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(a) has not been indemnified by
another organization or employee benefit plan for the same expenses with respect to the same acts or omissions; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(b) acted in good faith;
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) received no improper personal benefit and Section&nbsp;302A.255 of the MBCA (regarding conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been
satisfied; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(d) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(e) in the case of acts or omissions by persons in their official capacity for the corporation, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the
best interests of the corporation, or in the case of acts or omissions by persons in their capacity for other organizations, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Section&nbsp;302A.521, subd. 3, of the MBCA requires payment or reimbursement by the corporation, upon written request, of reasonable expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by a person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, (a)&nbsp;upon receipt by the corporation of a written affirmation by the person of a good faith belief that the requirements for
indemnification set forth above have been met as well as a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the corporation, if it is ultimately determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied,
and (b)&nbsp;after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this section. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A
decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the Registrant&#146;s Board of
Directors consisting of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court. A director is disinterested if he or she is not a party to the proceeding for which indemnification or expense advancement is at issue.
Section&nbsp;302A.521 contains detailed terms regarding such right of indemnification and reference is made thereto for a complete statement of such indemnification rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by Section&nbsp;302A.251 of the MBCA, Article XII of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that a director
of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1)&nbsp;for breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its shareholders; (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)&nbsp;for paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase in violation of Section&nbsp;302A.559
of the MBCA or for violating the securities registration or anti-fraud provisions of Section&nbsp;80A.23 of the MBCA; (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit; or (5)&nbsp;for any action or omission
occurring prior to the date when the provision became effective. Article X of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify officers and directors to the extent permitted by the MBCA as it may be
amended from time to time. The Registrant also maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy to cover the Registrant and the Registrant&#146;s directors and officers against damages, judgments, settlements and costs incurred by reason
of certain acts of such persons in their capacities as directors and officers. </P>

Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration

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 indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and
Directors.
Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA") provides that a corporation shall indemnify any
person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of acts or omissions performed in his or her official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, including
without limitation, excise taxes assessed against such person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding,
if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, the person:
(a) has not been indemnified by
another organization or employee benefit plan for the same expenses with respect to the same acts or omissions;
(b) acted in good faith;
(c) received no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255 of the MBCA (regarding conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been
satisfied;
(d) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and
(e) in the case of acts or omissions by persons in their official capacity for the corporation, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the
best interests of the corporation, or in the case of acts or omissions by persons in their capacity for other organizations, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, of the MBCA requires payment or reimbursement by the corporation, upon written request, of reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, (a) upon receipt by the corporation of a written affirmation by the person of a good faith belief that the requirements for
indemnification set forth above have been met as well as a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the corporation, if it is ultimately determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied,
and (b) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this section.
A
decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Registrant's Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the Registrant's Board of
Directors consisting of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court. A director is disinterested if he or she is not a party to the proceeding for which indemnification or expense advancement is at issue.
Section 302A.521 contains detailed terms regarding such right of indemnification and reference is made thereto for a complete statement of such indemnification rights.
As permitted by Section 302A.251 of the MBCA, Article XII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that a director
of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its shareholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) for paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase in violation of Section 302A.559
of the MBCA or for violating the securities registration or anti-fraud provisions of Section 80A.23 of the MBCA; (4) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit; or (5) for any action or omission
occurring prior to the date when the provision became effective. Article X of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify officers and directors to the extent permitted by the MBCA as it may be
amended from time to time. The Registrant also maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy to cover the Registrant and the Registrant's directors and officers against damages, judgments, settlements and costs incurred by reason
of certain acts of such persons in their capacities as directors and officers.

Item 9. 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;
(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; 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) of this section 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
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(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 indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
