</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the corporation&#146;s request, as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by the person (&#147;Expenses&#148;), and
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by the
person, in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that the person acted
in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Although Delaware law permits a
corporation to indemnify any person referred to above against Expenses in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests, if such person has been judged liable to the corporation,
indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or the court in which
the action was brought) determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is
entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director or officer
against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the
statute. In addition, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides the general
authorization of advancement of a director&#146;s or officer&#146;s litigation Expenses in lieu of requiring
the authorization of such advancement by the board of directors in specific cases, and that
indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification of Expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;V of the By-Laws of the Company and indemnification agreements with directors and
officers of the Company provide for the broad indemnification of the directors and officers of the
Company and for advancement of litigation Expenses to the fullest extent required or permitted by
current Delaware law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance that reimburses
the Company for Expenses that it may incur in conjunction with the foregoing indemnity provisions
and that may provide direct indemnification to officers and directors where the Company is unable
to do so.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company eliminates the personal liability of a
director to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except under certain circumstances involving certain wrongful acts such as breach of a
director&#146;s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for any unlawful acts under Section&nbsp;174 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or for any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit.

therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company 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

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 of such issue.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
James E. Nicholson, Secretary of the Company, is a partner of Faegre & Benson LLP. Faegre &
Benson LLP has given its opinion about certain legal matters affecting the shares of the Common
Stock of the Company registered under this Registration Statement. Mr. Nicholson holds options to
purchase 104,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company, all of which are exercisable within 60 days
of the date hereof. Such options are held by Mr. Nicholson under nominee agreements for the benefit

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the corporation's request, as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by the person ("Expenses"), and
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by the
person, in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that the person acted
in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Although Delaware law permits a
corporation to indemnify any person referred to above against Expenses in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, if such person has been judged liable to the corporation,
indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or the court in which
the action was brought) determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is
entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director or officer
against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the
statute. In addition, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides the general
authorization of advancement of a director's or officer's litigation Expenses in lieu of requiring
the authorization of such advancement by the board of directors in specific cases, and that
indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification of Expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement or otherwise.
Article V of the By-Laws of the Company and indemnification agreements with directors and
officers of the Company provide for the broad indemnification of the directors and officers of the
Company and for advancement of litigation Expenses to the fullest extent required or permitted by
current Delaware law.
The Company maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance that reimburses
the Company for Expenses that it may incur in conjunction with the foregoing indemnity provisions
and that may provide direct indemnification to officers and directors where the Company is unable
to do so.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company eliminates the personal liability of a
director to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except under certain circumstances involving certain wrongful acts such as breach of a
director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for any unlawful acts under Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or for any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A.
The Company 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;
(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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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 (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
Table of Contents
(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. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 herein, 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 Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 of such issue.
