302A.521, subd. 2, of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the &#147;MBCA&#148;)
requires us 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 us 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
(collectively &#147;Losses&#148;) if, with respect to the same acts or omissions, such
person: (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee
benefit plan for the same Losses; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no
improper personal benefit, and statutory procedures have 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&#146;s official
capacity as director, officer, member of a committee of the board or employee,
reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
corporation, or in the case of acts or omissions occurring in a director&#146;s,
officer&#146;s or employee&#146;s capacity 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
corporation. </FONT></P>

9 of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides that none of our directors
shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Article 9 does not, however, limit or
eliminate the liability of a director to the extent provided by applicable law
for (i) any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders,
(ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) authorizing a dividend, stock
repurchase or redemption or other distribution in violation of Minnesota law or
for violation of certain provisions of Minnesota securities laws or (iv) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

Restated Bylaws require us to indemnify such persons, for such liabilities and

permitted by Section 302A.521 of the MBCA, as now enacted or hereafter amended.

in the opinion of the 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.</FONT></P>

misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) authorizing a dividend, stock

indemnification obligations with respects to directors and officers for 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 of 1933, as amended (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 range 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%
 change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
 of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
II-2
(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 (A) paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply
 if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
 those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
 the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
 Section 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.
(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, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
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 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 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.
II-3
