Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</FONT></TD>

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Article IX of the
Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its
officers, directors, employees and others serving at the request of the
Registrant in accordance with, and to the extent provided by Minnesota law.
Section 302A.521 of the
Minnesota Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation shall indemnify
any person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of
acts or omissions performed in their official capacity as an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation against judgments, penalties, fines,
including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against such person with
respect to an 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:
(i) has not been indemnified
by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same expenses with respect to
the same acts or omissions;
(ii) acted in good faith;
(iii) received no improper
personal benefit and Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.255 (regarding conflicts
of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied;
(iv) in the case of a
criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and
(v) in the case of acts or
omissions by persons in their official capacity for the corporation, reasonably
believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or in
the case of acts or omissions by persons in their capacity for other
organizations, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation.
In addition, Section
302A.521, subd. 3, of the Minnesota Statutes requires payment or reimbursement
by the corporation, upon written request, of reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding 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.
In addition, the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that a director of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for
liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its shareholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) for
paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase in violation of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 302A.559; (4) for violating the securities registration or
anti-fraud provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 80A.23; (5) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (6)
for acts or omissions occurring prior to the date when the relevant provision of
the Articles of Incorporation became effective.
The Articles of Incorporation further
provide that if the Minnesota Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Registrant would be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by Minnesota law.
Item 7.
Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.

The following are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement:

Common Stock being registered.
23.1    Consent of KPMG LLP.
23.2    Consent of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. (contained in
their opinion filed as Exhibit 5).
24       Power of Attorney (included on signature page hereto).
Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
a.
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 1933 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; 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 (i) and (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 by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement;
b.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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;
c.
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;
d.
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the 1934 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; and
e.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable
