INCORPORATION OF CONTENTS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

BY REFERENCE

A Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-62560) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2001 covering the registration of 400,000 shares initially authorized for issuance under the 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Plan”).

The contents of the prior Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act requires us to indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person with respect to us, against judgments, penalties, fines, including reasonable expenses, if such person (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit and a statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person’s performance in the official capacity of director, or for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, committee member, employee or agent, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the company, or, in the case of performance by a director, officer, employee or agent of the company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent or another organization or employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the Company. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3 requires payment by us, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, by a designated committee of the Board, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court.

As permitted by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages arising from any breach of fiduciary duties as a member of our Board of Directors (except as expressly prohibited by Minnesota Business Corporation Act, Section 302A.251, Subd. 4).

For information regarding our undertaking to submit to adjudication the issue of indemnification for violation of the securities laws, see Item 9 hereof.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

24.1                         Power of Attorney (set forth on signature page hereof)

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 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.

                (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 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 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.

                (c)           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 connected 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.
