for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrant&#146;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&#146;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 therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial <i>bona fide</i>
offering thereof.</font></p>

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.&#160; 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this
registration statement.  Information that
we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this
information.  We incorporate by reference
the documents listed below and any future filings we will make with the SEC

shares covered by this registration statement have been sold or deregistered:

Item 5.
Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
We are governed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter
302A.  Minnesota Statutes Section
302A.521 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any person made or
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the former or
present official capacity of such person 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 attorney's 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 has not been
indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
expenses with respect to the same acts or omissions; acted in good faith;
received no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255, if applicable, has
been satisfied; in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe the conduct was unlawful; and 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.
As permitted by Section 302A.251 of the Minnesota
Statutes, Article 9 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall
indemnify and may, in the discretion of our board of directors, insure our
current and former directors, officers and employees in the manner and to the
fullest extent permitted
3
by law.  Section 6.1 of our
By-laws provides that we shall indemnify, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes, the following
persons:  (a) officers and former
officers; (b) directors and former directors; (c) members and former members of
committees appointed or designated by the board of directors; and (d) employees
and former employees.
Item 7.
Exemption
From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
See
"Exhibit Index."
Item 9. 
Undertakings.
(a)
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:
(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 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;
(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:
(A)
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement; and
(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.
4
(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 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 (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 therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)
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 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
5
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act, 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 Minneapolis, State
of Minnesota, on May 4, 2007.
