         --------------------------------------

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         -----------------------------------------

         Section 302A.521, subd. 2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires the
Company 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 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 (1) has not
been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
judgments, penalties or fines; (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, 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 a director, officer or employee of the Company 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 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.

         The Company's Bylaws provide for the indemnification of members of the
Board of Directors and the Company's officers for certain liabilities and costs
incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties, including
the administration of the Plans. This indemnification may include
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
         ------------

         A.       Post-Effective Amendments

         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:

                    (a)       To include any prospectus required by Section
                              10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (b)       To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                              arising after the effective date hereof (or the
                              most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                              which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
                              a fundamental change in the information set forth
                              herein; and

                    (c)       To include any material information with respect
                              to the plan of distribution not previously
                              disclosed herein or any material change to such
                              information herein;

          provided, however, that subparagraphs (a) and (b) above will not apply
          if the information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those subparagraphs 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
          this 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. Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference

         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 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C.       Claims for Indemnification
                  --------------------------

         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 indemnification provisions described
herein, 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 other
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 of 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.
         -----------------------------------------

         Section 302A.521, subd. 2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires the
Company 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 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 (1) has not
been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
judgments, penalties or fines; (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, 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 a director, officer or employee of the Company 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 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.

         The Company's Bylaws provide for the indemnification of members of the
Board of Directors and the Company's officers for certain liabilities and costs
incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties, including
the administration of the Plans. This indemnification may include
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
         ------------

         A.       Post-Effective Amendments

         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:

                    (a)       To include any prospectus required by Section
                              10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (b)       To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                              arising after the effective date hereof (or the
                              most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                              which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
                              a fundamental change in the information set forth
                              herein; and

                    (c)       To include any material information with respect
                              to the plan of distribution not previously
                              disclosed herein or any material change to such
                              information herein;

          provided, however, that subparagraphs (a) and (b) above will not apply
          if the information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those subparagraphs 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
          this 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. Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference

         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 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.       Claims for Indemnification
                  --------------------------

         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 indemnification provisions described
herein, 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 other
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 of 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.
