director, employee or agent of the Company against judgments, penalties and fines (including attorneys fees) if such person

unlawful. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, of the Minnesota Statutes
requires payment by the Company, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances
if a decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors present at a meeting at

or by a court. The Company also maintains an insurance policy or policies to assist in funding indemnification of directors and

Item 9.    Undertakings.

(a)          The Company hereby undertakes to:

(1)    To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

| | (i)    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.
