pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the small business issuer

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  small  business  issuer of
expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling  person of the
small  business  issuer  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 small business issuer 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

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section
302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation shall
indemnify any person who is made or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by
reason of the former or present official capacity (as defined) of such person against
judgments, penalties, fines (including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against
such person with respect to any employee benefit plan), settlements and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such person in
connection with the proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of such person
complained of in the proceeding, such person (1) has not been indemnified therefor by
another organization or employee benefit plan; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no
improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255 (with respect to director conflicts of
interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5)
1
reasonably believed that the conduct
was in the best interests of the corporation in the case of acts or omissions in such
person's official capacity for the corporation or reasonably believed that the
conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation in the case of acts or
omissions in such person's official capacity for other affiliated organizations.
"Proceeding" means a threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitration or investigative proceeding, including one by or in the right
of the corporation.
Our
bylaws provide for the indemnification of such persons, for such expenses and liabilities,
in such manner, under such circumstances and to such extent as permitted by Section
302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act.
ITEM 7.

Not
Applicable.
ITEM 8.

Index attached hereto.
ITEM 9.
UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
Regulation
S-B, Item 512(a) Undertaking:
The small business issuer will:
(1)
File,
during  any  period  in which it offers or sells  securities,  a  post-effective
amendment to this  registration  statement to include any additional or material
information on the plan of distribution.
(2)
For
determining  liability under the Securities Act, treat each such  post-effective
amendment as a new  registration  statement of the securities  offered,  and the
offering  of the  securities  at that time  shall be  deemed  to be the  initial
bona fide
offering.
(3)
File
a  post-effective  amendment to remove from  registration  any of the securities
that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b)
Regulation
S-B, Item 512(e)  Undertaking:
Insofar as  indemnification  for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the  "Act") may be permitted
to directors,  officers and  controlling  persons of the small  business  issuer
pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the small business issuer
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  small  business  issuer of
expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling  person of the
small  business  issuer  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 small business issuer 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.
