TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our By-laws provide an advance written notice requirement with respect to shareholder proposals of business at annual meetings and shareholder nominations of candidates for election as directors at annual or special meetings of the shareholders. Amendment of Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws Minnesota law provides that a corporation may amend its articles of incorporation by adoption of a board resolution followed by a majority vote of shareholders, unless the articles of incorporation require a larger percentage. In addition, shareholders owning 3% or more of the voting power of shares entitled to vote may propose an amendment to the articles of incorporation or by-laws and submit the amendment to shareholders for approval at the next regular or special meeting of shareholders as to which notice has not yet been given, but can still be timely given, and the amendment may be adopted by a majority vote of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock without board approval. If the articles of incorporation provide for a larger proportion or number of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock to transact a specified type of business at a meeting, the affirmative vote of that larger proportion or number is necessary to amend the articles to decrease the proportion or number of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock necessary to transact the business. Under the MBCA, our shareholders have the right to adopt, amend or repeal our By-laws. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock, voting together as a single class, and in addition to any other vote required by our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, is required to amend provisions of our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws relating to:

| • | the right of shareholders to call a special meeting; |

| • | the number, election and term of our directors; |

| • | the procedures for the removal of directors or filling vacancies of the board of directors; and |

| • | fixing a quorum for meetings of shareholders. |
