the Registrant. In addition, Section&nbsp;302A.521, subd. 3 requires payment by
the Registrant, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of
final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is made by a majority of the disinterested Board of Directors
present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a
designated committee of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by
the disinterested shareholders, or by a court. Insofar as indemnification for

has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore
unenforceable.</font></p>

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.&#160; 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 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.</p>

Description of Securities
.

Item 5.  
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6.  
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 302A.521 of
the Minnesota Business Corporation Act requires the Registrant to indemnify a
person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the
former or present official capacity of the person with respect to the
Registrant, against judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation,
excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit
plan, settlement, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person
complained of in the proceeding, such person (1) has not been indemnified by
another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments,
penalties, fines, including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against
the 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 with respect to the same acts or
omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit, and
statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest
by a director; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or
omissions occurring in the person's performance in the official capacity of
director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer,
committee member, employee or agent, reasonably believed that the conduct was
in the best interests of the Registrant, or in the case of performance by a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee
II-1
benefit plan,
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3 requires payment by
the Registrant, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of
final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is made by a majority of the disinterested Board of Directors
present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a
designated committee of disinterested directors, by special legal counsel, by
the disinterested shareholders, or by a court. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore
unenforceable.
Article XIII of the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation limits the liability
of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Minnesota Business
Corporation Act.  In addition,
Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company will
indemnify such persons, for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner,
under such circumstances, and to such extent, as permitted by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act.
The Registrant also
maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Registrant, its
directors and its officers against certain liabilities, including a
reimbursement policy in favor of the Company.
The foregoing represents
a summary of the general effect of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Company's
directors and officers liability insurance coverage for purposes of general
description only.

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;
(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;
(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) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
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 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, 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.
