For the purposes of this demand, “books and records” includes all paper or electronic records, including all memoranda, letters, reports, e-mails, transcripts, statements, instant messages, Word files, database records, spreadsheets, pdf’s, photographs, audio or video recordings, whether in individuals’ files, shared files, computer hard drives, network drives, CD-ROM’s, DVD’s, tape backups, flash drives or any other storage medium whether sent, received, created or collected by the Company or by any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company.

Upon presentment of appropriate documentation therefor, the Record Holder will bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Company in connection with the production of the information demanded herein.

The purpose of this demand is to enable the Record Holder to (i) ascertain the affairs of the Company, including, without limitation, whether the directors have properly discharged their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders, so that the Record Holder can vote and otherwise exercise its rights in an informed manner, (ii) determine the suitability of Mr. Jundt, Douglas G.
