that the Company 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 Company, against 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&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with
the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions if such person (i)&nbsp;has
not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the
same judgments, penalties or fines, (ii)&nbsp;acted in good faith, (iii)&nbsp;received
no improper personal benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the
case of any conflict of interest by a director, (iv)&nbsp;in the case of a
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful, and (v)&nbsp;in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person&#146;s
performance in the official capacity of director or, for a person not a
director, in the official capacity of officer, board committee member or
employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
Company, or, in the case of performance by one of the Company&#146;s directors,
officers or employees involving service as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee benefit plan,
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. In addition, Section&nbsp;302A.521, subd.&nbsp;3, requires payment by the
Company, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is to be made by a disinterested majority of the Company&#146;s 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.</p>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under Item&nbsp;6 above, 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
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 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 302A.521, subd.
2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires
that the Company 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 Company, against 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 if such person (i) has
not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the
same judgments, penalties or fines, (ii) acted in good faith, (iii) received
no improper personal benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the
case of any conflict of interest by a director, (iv) in the case of a
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful, and (v) 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, board committee member or
employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
Company, or, in the case of performance by one of the Company's directors,
officers or employees involving service as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee benefit plan,
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the
Company, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is to be made by a disinterested majority of the Company's 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.
The Company's bylaws provide
that the Company shall indemnify each of the Company's directors, officers and
employees to the fullest extent permissible by Minnesota Statute, as detailed
above. The Company also maintains a director and officer liability insurance
policy to cover the Company and the Company's directors and officers against
certain liabilities.

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 together, represent a fundamental
change in the information 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) do not apply if 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 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; and
(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
to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each person to whom
the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders
that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to
and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented
by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to
deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by
reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(h)
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 provisions described under Item 6 above, 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
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.
