<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share. As of November&nbsp;27, 2006, there were 18,066,142 shares
outstanding.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on
all matters on which shareholders are entitled or permitted to vote. Significant corporate
transactions, such as amendments to the articles of incorporation, mergers, sales of assets and
dissolution or liquidation require approval by the affirmative vote of the majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Other matters to be voted upon by the holders of Common Stock
normally require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the particular
shareholders&#146; meeting. The Company&#146;s officers and directors as a group beneficially own
approximately 11.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, not including shares subject to

Item 4. Description of Securities
.
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share. As of November 27, 2006, there were 18,066,142 shares
outstanding.
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on
all matters on which shareholders are entitled or permitted to vote. Significant corporate
transactions, such as amendments to the articles of incorporation, mergers, sales of assets and
dissolution or liquidation require approval by the affirmative vote of the majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Other matters to be voted upon by the holders of Common Stock
normally require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the particular
shareholders' meeting. The Company's officers and directors as a group beneficially own
approximately 11.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, not including shares subject to
options or Deferred Stock Units held by such persons.
There is cumulative voting for the election of directors. Holders of Common
Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may lawfully be declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available therefore and to share pro rata in any other distribution
to the holders of Common Stock, including upon liquidation of the Company. Holders of Common Stock
have no preemptive or subscription rights. There are no conversion rights, redemption rights,
sinking fund provisions or fixed dividend rights with respect to the Common Stock. All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Article Eighth of the Company's Articles of Incorporation reads as follows:
LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS. No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or any shareholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.
II-1
Table of Contents
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by
applicable law for: (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) any violation of South Dakota Codified Laws Sections 47-5-15 to
47-5-19, inclusive, (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit, or (v) any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this Article Eighth becomes
effective. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this paragraph, nor the adoption of any provision of
this Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this paragraph, shall apply to or have any effect
upon the liability of any director of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions
of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of any inconsistent
provision.
Article XII of the Company's bylaws reads as follows:
ARTICLE XII — INDEMNIFICATION
Any person, his heirs, executors, or administrators, may be indemnified or reimbursed by the
Corporation for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with any action, suit, or
proceeding, civil or criminal, to which he or they shall be made a party by reason of his being or
having been a Director or Officer of the Corporation or of any firm, corporation, or organization
which he served in any such capacity at the request of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as
duly evidenced by resolution of such Board; provided, however, that no person shall be so
indemnified or reimbursed in relation to any matter in such action, suit or proceeding as to which
he shall finally be adjudged to have been guilty of or liable for negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of his duties of the Corporation; and provided further, that no person shall be
so indemnified or reimbursed in relation to any matter in such action, suit, or proceeding which
has been made the subject of a compromise settlement except with the approval of a court of
competent jurisdiction, or the holders of record of a majority of the whole number of the
Directors. The foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not be exclusive of other
rights to which such person, his heirs, executors, or administrators may be entitled as a matter of
law.

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 of
1933 (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 rage 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.;
(iii) To include any additional or material information on 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) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in 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 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
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.
(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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the 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,
II-3
Table of Contents
officer, or controlling person connected 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
