Company may be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as limited

director&#146;s personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty: (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty
of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not
in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii)&nbsp;under section 302A.559 or 80A.23 of the Minnesota Statutes; (iv)&nbsp;for
any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit;
or (v)&nbsp;for any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of the
indemnification provisions in the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation, and Section&nbsp;302A.521 of the
Minnesota Business Corporation Act, provide 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 their 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 such person in
connection with the proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of
such person complained of in the proceeding, such person: (i)&nbsp;has not been
indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
expenses with respect to the same acts or omissions; (ii)&nbsp;acted in good faith;
(iii)
received no improper personal benefit and Minnesota Statutes, Section&nbsp;302A.255
(regarding conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (iv)&nbsp;in

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 in certain instances if a decision as
to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Board of

shareholders or by a court.

The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a) The Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that no director of the
Company may be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as limited
by Minnesota law. Minnesota law provides that a corporation may not limit a
director's personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty: (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) under section 302A.559 or 80A.23 of the Minnesota Statutes; (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit;
or (v) for any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of the
indemnification provisions in the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation, and Section 302A.521 of the
Minnesota Business Corporation Act, provide 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 their 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 such person in
connection with the proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of
such person complained of in the proceeding, such person: (i) has not been
indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
expenses with respect to the same acts or omissions; (ii) acted in good faith;
(iii)
received no improper personal benefit and Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.255
(regarding conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (iv) in
the case of a criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe the
conduct was unlawful; and (v) in the case of acts or omissions by persons in
their official capacity for the corporation,
Table of Contents
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 Minnesota Statutes
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 in certain instances if a decision as
to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Board of
Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or
by a designated committee of the Board, by special legal counsel, by the
shareholders or by a court.
In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and officers, which agreements provide for
indemnification to the full extent permitted by Minnesota law.

(2) That, For the purpose of determining any liability under the

(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
