|            |  | Date of Issuance   |  | Expiration Date

2.2)Time of Exercise.Each exercise of Warrants shall be deemed to have been effective immediately
prior to the close of business on the business day on which the Warrant Certificate relating to such Warrants shall have been surrendered to the Warrant Agent as provided in Article 2.1, and at

deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

2.3)Issuance of Shares of Common Stock; No Fractional Shares.As soon as practicable after the
exercise of any Warrant, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder thereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct,



2.4)Assigned Warrant Certificates.Warrants, represented by a properly assigned Warrant Certificate,
may be exercised by a new holder without first having a new Warrant Certificate issued.

ARTICLE 3

WARRANT PRICE; ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND
NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES

3.1)Establishment of Exercise Price.Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the Exercise Price
per share of Common Stock shall be $2.75.

3.2)Adjustments.The per share Exercise Price and the number of Shares deliverable hereunder shall be
adjusted as hereinafter set forth:

(a)Adjustment of Number of Warrants Shares.If after the date hereof, the Company shall:



Then
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind
and number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which he or it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had
such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b)Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Upon Distribution.If the Company shall
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock of any class or series either (i) evidence of its indebtedness, (ii) assets (excluding cash dividends and distributions of the stock of any
Subsidiary) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities issued by, or property of, the Company, then in each
such case the Exercise Price shall be reduced to that Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution by a fraction,



Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution. Upon such adjustment, the holder of each warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment, the number of shares obtained
by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment.

For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Market Price" means with respect to shares of Common Stock of any class or series the last reported sale price or, if none, the average of
the last reported closing bid and asked prices on any national securities exchange or quoted in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system (Nasdaq), or if not listed on
a national securities exchange or quoted in Nasdaq, the average of the last reported closing bid and asked price as determined from quotations from market makers of such Common Stock in the
Minneapolis local over-the-counter market.

3.3)Consolidation, Merger or Combination.In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company
with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another person, or any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except a
split-up or combination provision for which provision is made in Article 3.2), then:

(a)
As a condition of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder shall thereafter have the
right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock immediately theretofore subject to acquisition hereunder, such shares
of stock, securities or assets as may (by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification) be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of such common stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock immediately theretofore so subject to acquisition hereunder had such consolidation, merger, sale,
reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder to the end that the provisions
hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the conversion option. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof,
the successor person or persons purchasing such assets or succeeding or resulting from such consolidation, merger, reorganization or reclassification shall assume by written instrument executed and
mailed or delivered to the holder, the obligation to deliver to such holder such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to receive.

(b)
in the event that the Company shall make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to its Common Stock, as a liquidating or partial liquidation dividend, or other than
as a dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the State of Minnesota, the holder shall, upon the exercise of his right to convert after the
record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, after the date of such distribution, receive in addition to the shares subscribed for, the amount of such assets (or, at the
option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of distribution as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) which would have been distributed to
the holder if he or it had exercised his or its Warrants immediately prior to the record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such
distribution).

3.4)Fractional Shares.Fractional shares shall not be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant but in
any case where the holder would, except for the provisions of this Article, be entitled under the terms hereof to receive a fractional share, the Company shall, upon the exercise of any Warrant for
the largest number of whole shares then called for, pay a sum in cash equal to the sum of (a) the excess, if any, of the Market Price of such fractional share over the proportional part of the
per share Exercise Price represented by such fractional shareplus(b) the proportional part of the per share Exercise Price represented by such
fractional share.

3.5)Reservation and Listing of Common Stock.The Company will at all times reserve and, solely for
issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon such exercise. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such
exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no liability on the part of the holder thereof. The

Company at its expense will list on each national securities exchange on which any Common Stock may at any time be listed, subject to official notice of issuance, and will maintain such listing of,
the shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

3.6)Registration of Common Stock.The Company will at all times there are Warrants outstanding use its
best efforts to (i) maintain an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering Common Stock issuable in respect of the Warrants, and from
time to time shall amend or supplement the prospectus contained in such registration statement to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable law and (ii) maintain qualifications in
those jurisdictions in which the Rights were initially qualified to permit exercise of the Warrants and the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise.

ARTICLE 4

CERTAIN OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS
OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

4.1)No Rights of Shareholders.The Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only. No
Warrant Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends
and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of holders of Common Stock or any other proceedings of the Company.

4.2)Loss, Theft, Etc. of Warrant Certificates.Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery to the
Warrant Agent of an indemnity bond in form and amount, and issued by a bonding company, reasonably satisfactory to the Company (or, in the case of any Warrant Certificate held by an institutional
investor, an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company), or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender to and cancellation by the Warrant Agent of such Warrant Certificate,
the Company at its expense will execute and cause the Warrant Agent to countersign and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor.

4.3)No Adequate Remedy at Law.The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holders of the
Warrants in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificates are not and
will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificates or by
an injunction against a violation of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Certificates or otherwise.

4.4)Transfer Agent; Cancellation of Warrant Certificates; Unexercised Warrants.Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association (and any successor), as the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Warrants from time to time outstanding. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on
file with the Transfer Agent. The Warrant Agent, and any successor thereto, is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent certificates for shares of Common
Stock required for exercises of Warrants. The Company will supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for shares of Common Stock for such purpose and will make available any cash
required in settlement of fractional share interests. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the exercise or redemption of Warrants shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be
delivered to the Company; such cancelled Warrant Certificates, with the Purchase Form on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, shall constitute conclusive evidence as


between the parties hereto of the numbers of shares of Common Stock which shall have been issued upon exercises of Warrants. Promptly after the Expiration Date of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall
certify to the Company the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding and unexercised. No shares of Common Stock shall be subject to reservation with respect to Warrants not exercised prior to
5:00 p.m. Minneapolis time on the Expiration Date.

5.1)Warrant Register; Transfer or Exchange of Warrant Certificates.The Warrant Agent shall cause to
be kept at the principal office of the Warrant Agent a register (the "Warrant Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, provisions shall be made for the
registration of transfers and exchanges of Warrant Certificates. Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of any
Warrant Certificates, properly endorsed, to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent at the Company's expense will issue and deliver to or upon the order of the holder thereof a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or
faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of the Warrant Certificate so surrendered. Any warrant Certificate surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be cancelled
by the Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company.

5.2)Identity of Warrant Holders.Until a Warrant Certificate is transferred in the Warrant Register,
the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the Contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant Certificate is properly assigned in blank, the Company and the Warrant Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) treat
the bearer thereof as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate and of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
