Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes and Article 5 of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws require, among other things, the indemnification of any person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of acts or omissions performed in the person's official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company against judgments, penalties and fines (including attorneys' fees) if the person is not otherwise indemnified, acted in good faith, received no improper benefit, reasonably believed that such conduct was in the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reason to believe the conduct was unlawful.  In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, of the Minnesota Statutes requires payment by the Company, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition 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.

Item 9.  Undertakings
.
(a)
The Company hereby undertakes to:
(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 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 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 that 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Vadnais Heights, State of Minnesota, on June 12, 2009.
