On May 20, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"), which replaced the 1993 Plan. Both the 1999 Plan and the 1993 Plan are long term incentive plans. On December 31, 1999, the 1993 Plan expired and 2,695,048 registered shares remained available for issuance under the 1993 Plan.

Pursuant to Instruction E to Form S-8 and the telephonic interpretation of the Commission pertaining to "Form S-8" set forth in the Division of Corporation Finance's Manual of Publicly-Available Telephone Interpretations (July 1997), the remaining two hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred eighty six (237,586) additional registered shares of Common Stock that had not been issued under the 1993 Plan prior to its expiration are hereby carried forward to, and deemed covered by a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be contemporaneously filed by the Company with the Commission in connection with the 1999 Plan.

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") grants each corporation organized thereunder, such as the Company, the power to indemnify its directors and officers against liability for certain of their acts. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Company's certificate of incorporation contains such a provision. The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Sections 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL in connection with proceedings with which any such person is involved by virtue of his or her status as an officer, director or employee. The Company has also by contract agreed to indemnify its directors against damages, judgments, settlements and costs arising out of any actions against the directors brought by reason of the fact that they are or were directors. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance, including a reimbursement policy in favor of the Company. Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. Item 8.

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-2 (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 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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 paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) above will 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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 Exchange 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. 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 other 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 the 28th day of February, 2001.
