SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

2. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at the office of the Company in the City of Minneapolis, or at such other place as the Board of Directors may designate.

3. Annual meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such time and place as may be specified by the Board of Directors, at which they shall elect a Board of Directors and shall transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

4.

If, however, such number shall not be present or represented at any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite amount of voting stock shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of voting stock shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

5. At each meeting of the shareholders, every shareholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such shareholder and bearing a date not more than eleven (11) months prior to said meeting, unless said instrument provides for a longer period.

6. Written notice of the annual meeting shall be mailed to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, at such address as appears on the stock book of the Company, at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting.

7. A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the ensuing election, arranged in alphabetical order, with the residence of each, and the number of voting shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall, during the whole time of said election, be open to the examination of any shareholder.

8. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the President and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the directors, or at the request of in writing of shareholders owning ten percent (10%) or more of voting power of all issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company by delivering to the President or Secretary a written demand for a special meeting, which demand shall state the purposes of such meeting; provided, however, that a special meeting for the purpose of considering any action to directly or indirectly facilitate or effect a business combination, including any action to change or otherwise affect the composition of the Board of Directors for that purpose, must be called by twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote.

9. Business transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the objects stated in the call.

10. Written notice of a special meeting of the shareholders, stating the time, place and object thereof, shall be mailed, with postage prepaid, at least five (5) days before such meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, at such address as appears on the books of the Company.

DIRECTORS

11. A shareholder must provide written notice of any proposal to be submitted at an annual meeting and such notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company so as to be received at the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 120 days in advance of the date that the Company’s proxy statement is to be released to its shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders, except that if no annual meeting is held in connection with the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, such notice must be so received not less than 120 days in advance of the first date that solicitation is made. Each such notice shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (b) the name and address of the shareholder proposing such business; (c) the number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the shareholder; (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such business; and (e) such other information regarding such business as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission had the matter been proposed by the Company’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be considered properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder unless it is brought in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.

12. The management of the business and the affairs of the Company shall be vested in a Board of Directors, whose members need not be shareholders. The number of directors shall be no less than three (3) nor more than twelve (12) and shall be established by resolution of the Board of Directors. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by a resolution adopted by the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote.

13. The Board of Directors shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three (3) classes: Class I, Class II and Class III, which shall be as nearly as equal in number as possible; provided however, that the number of directors in any one class may not exceed the number of directors in any other class by more than one. Each director in Class I shall be elected to an initial term of one (1) year, each director in Class II shall be elected to an initial term of two (2) years and each director in Class III shall be elected to an initial term of three (3) years, and, with respect to directors in each class, each director shall be elected and serve until the election and qualification of such director’s successor, or until such director’s earlier resignation, death, or removal from office, upon the expiration of the initial terms of office for each class of directors, the directors elected to succeed those whose terms have expired shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed, and the directors of each class shall be elected for a term of three (3) years to serve until the election and qualification of their successors, or until such directors’ earlier resignation, death, or removal from office.

14. The shareholders may remove a director, at any time, with or without cause, but only if such removal is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote on such removal. The Board of Directors of the Company, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then holding office may remove a director, at any time, pursuant to the terms and provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.223, subdivision 2 (or similar provision of future law).

15. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of authorized directors or eliminated directorships resulting from any decrease in the number of authorized directors shall be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the Class I, Class II and Class III directors to keep the number of directors in each such class as nearly equal as reasonably possible; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of authorized directors shall shorten the term or effect the removal of any incumbent director except in compliance with the Articles of Incorporation. Vacancies on the Board of Directors created by any increase in the number of authorized directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then holding office. A director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders at which the term of office of the class of directors to which such director has been elected expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal in compliance with the Articles of Incorporation, or other cause (other than a vacancy due to an increase in the number of authorized directors) may be

filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then holding office, though less than a quorum. A director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders at which the term of office of such director’s predecessor expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

16. The directors may hold their meetings and have one or more offices and keep the books of the Company at the office of the Company or at such other places as they may from time to time determine.

17. In addition to the powers and authorities by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon it, the Board may exercise all such powers of the Company and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directly required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

COMMITTEES

18. The Board of Directors may, by resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Company, which to the extent provided in said resolution or resolutions or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be stated in these Bylaws or as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

19. The committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

20. Directors and members of a special or standing committee of the Board of Directors may receive such compensation as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

21. The newly elected Board may meet at such place and time as shall be fixed by the vote of the shareholders at the annual meeting, for the purpose of organization or otherwise, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected directors in order legally to constitute the meeting; provided, however, that a majority of the whole Board shall be present; or it may be at such place and time as shall be fixed by the consent in writing of all the directors.

Notice of any meeting of the Board may be waived by any director either before, at, or after such meeting orally or in a writing signed by such director. A director, by his or her attendance at any meeting of the Board, shall be deemed to have waived notice of such meeting, except where the director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter in the meeting.

24. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may otherwise be specifically provided by statute, or by the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.

OFFICERS

25. The Board of Directors shall from time to time, elect a Chairman of the Board, a President, who may also be designated as Chief Executive Officer, and a Chief Financial Officer, who may also be designated as Treasurer.

In addition, the Board of Directors may elect such other officers and agents as it may deem necessary.
