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)&nbsp;received no improper personal benefit and Minnesota
Statutes, Section&nbsp;302A.255 (regarding conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied;
(iv)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful; and (v)&nbsp;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&nbsp;302A.521, subd. 3, of the Minnesota Statutes 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 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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that

foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the issuer 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 issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the issuer 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 issuer 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.

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, 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.

Item 9. Undertakings
.
(a) The Company hereby undertakes
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) 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.
(2) That, For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
post-effective amendment will be treated as a new registration statement of the securities offered,
and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that
remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
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 (the "Act")
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the issuer 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 issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the issuer 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 issuer 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.
