The Committee may retain such actuarial, accounting, legal, clerical and
other services as may reasonably be required in the administration of the
Plan, and may pay reasonable compensation for such services. The Company will
pay all costs of administering the Plan. All questions of interpretation of
the Plan will be determined by the Committee, each determination,
interpretation or other action made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan will be conclusive and binding for all purposes and on
all persons, and no member of the Committee will be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award
granted under the Plan. The Committee, however, will have no power to
determine the eligibility for participation in the Plan, the number of shares
of Common Stock to be subject to Awards, or the timing, pricing or other
terms and conditions of the Awards.

4.       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE.

         4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that will be available for issuance under the Plan will be 350,000
shares. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may, at the election
of the Committee, be either treasury shares or shares authorized but
unissued, and, if treasury shares are used, all references in the Plan to the
issuance of shares will, for corporate law purposes, be deemed to mean the
transfer of shares from treasury.

         4.2 ACCOUNTING FOR AWARDS. Shares of Common Stock that are issued
under the Plan or that are subject to outstanding Awards will be applied to
reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for
issuance under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to an
Award that lapses, expires, or for any reason is terminated unexercised will
automatically again become available for issuance under the Plan.

         4.3 ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARES AND AWARDS. In the event of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights
offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off) or any
other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the
Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such
transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) will make
appropriate adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to the
number and kind of securities available for issuance under the Plan and, in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Eligible Directors,
the number, kind and, where applicable, exercise price of securities subject
to outstanding Awards.


                                       3
<PAGE>

5.       RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

         5.1 GRANTS TO NEW DIRECTORS. At such time after the effective date
of this Plan as additional Eligible Directors are first elected or appointed
to the Board to fill new directorships or to fill vacancies, each such
Eligible Director will receive, on a one-time basis on the date of his or her
first election or appointment to the Board, a Restricted Stock Award. The
number of Restricted Shares to be awarded to each such Eligible Director
pursuant to such Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by first
multiplying the dollar value of the Annual Retainer paid to Eligible
Directors by 2.5, then dividing that result by the average closing price of a
share of Common Stock, at the end of the regular trading session, which as of
the effective date of this Plan is 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New
York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of
such Eligible Director's first election or appointment to the Board, and then
rounding the result to the nearest 100 shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Eligible Directors who are first elected or appointed to the Board in
connection with the spin-off transaction described in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 10, as filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission on September 27, 2000 and as subsequently amended or supplemented,
will not receive the above mentioned Restricted Stock Award.

         5.2 RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Shares issued to an Eligible Director
may not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, or subjected to any lien,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, until
such time and only to the extent that such restrictions on transferability
have lapsed as provided in this Section 5.2 or in Section 8.1. For purposes
of this Plan, the lapsing of such transferability restrictions is referred to
as "vesting," and Restricted Shares that are no longer subject to such
transferability restrictions are referred to as "vested." Except as provided
in Section 8.1, 20% of the total number of Restricted Shares subject to a
Restricted Stock Award granted pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof will vest on
each of the first five anniversary dates of the date such Restricted Stock
Award was first granted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in the Plan, if a Change of Control of the Company occurs and the Restricted
Stock Award has been outstanding for two months, the Restricted Shares
subject to the Restricted Stock Award shall immediately and fully vest.

         5.3 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless the Committee determines
otherwise in its sole discretion (either in the agreement evidencing the
Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of
the Restricted Stock Award), any dividends or distributions (including
regular quarterly cash dividends) paid with respect to Restricted Shares will
be currently paid to the Eligible Director and will be subject to the same
restrictions as the Restricted Shares to which such dividends or
distributions relate. In the event the Committee determines not to pay such
dividends or distributions currently, the Committee will determine in its
sole discretion whether any interest will be paid on such dividends or
distributions. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
require such dividends and distributions to be reinvested (and in such case
the Eligible Director consent to such reinvestment) in shares of Common Stock
that will be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such
dividends or distributions relate.

         5.4 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Except as provided in this Section 5
and in Section 8.1, an Eligible Director will have all voting, dividend and
other rights with respect to Restricted Shares issued to the Eligible
Director upon the Eligible Director becoming the holder of record of such
Restricted Shares as if such Eligible Director were a holder of record of
shares of unrestricted Common Stock.

         5.5 ENFORCEMENT OF RESTRICTIONS. To enforce the restrictions
referred to in this Section 5, the Committee will place a legend on the stock
certificates referring to such restrictions and will require Eligible
Directors, until the Restricted Shares vest, to keep the stock certificates,
together with duly endorsed stock powers, in the custody of the Company or
its transfer agent or to maintain evidence of stock ownership, together with
duly endorsed stock powers if required, in a certificateless book-entry stock
account with the Company's transfer agent for its Common Stock.

6.       OPTIONS.

         6.1 GRANT. Each Eligible Director will be granted on an annual
basis, at such time as the Eligible Director is elected or re-elected to the
Board by the stockholders of the Company, an Option. Such Option will be
granted only upon such election or re-election of the Eligible Director, and
no Option will be


                                       4
<PAGE>

granted if the Eligible Director is not so elected or re-elected.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Director who is first elected to
the Board by the Company's stockholders in connection with the spin-off
transaction described in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10, as
filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 27, 2000 and as
subsequently amended or supplemented, will not receive an Option under this
Section 6.1 until such eligible director is re-elected to the Board by the
stockholders of the Company.

         6.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The per share price to be paid by an Eligible
Director upon exercise of an Option will be 100% of the Fair Market Value of
one share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The total purchase price of
the shares to be purchased upon exercise of an Option will be paid entirely
in cash (including check, bank draft or money order), or such payment may be
made, in whole or in part, by tender of a Broker Exercise Notice.

         6.3 EXERCISABILITY AND DURATION. Other than as provided in Section
8.1 of the Plan, each Option will become exercisable in full six months
following its date of grant and will expire and will no longer be exercisable
10 years from its date of grant.

         6.4 MANNER OF EXERCISE. An Option may be exercised by an Eligible
Director, in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions
contained in the Plan and in the agreement evidencing such Option, by
delivery in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the
mail, of written notice of exercise to the Company, Attention: Corporate
Treasury, at its principal executive office in Bloomington, Minnesota and by
paying in full the total exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be
purchased in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Plan.

         6.5 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. As a holder of Options, an Eligible
Director will have no rights as a stockholder unless and until such Options
are exercised for shares of Common Stock and the Eligible Director becomes
the holder of record of such shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends
or distributions with respect to Options as to which there is a record date
preceding the date the Eligible Director becomes the holder of record of such
shares.

         7.  PAYMENT OF PORTION OF ANNUAL RETAINER IN RETAINER SHARE AWARD.

         7.1 ANNUAL RETAINER ELECTION. Each year an Eligible Director must
elect to receive fifty percent (50%) (or such other greater percentage as the
Committee shall determine) or more of his or her Annual Retainer in the form
of (a) Retainer Restricted Share Awards pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, (b)
Retainer Deferred Share Awards pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, or (c) a
combination of Retainer Restricted Share Awards and Retainer Deferred Share
Awards ("Annual Retainer Election"). The Annual Retainer Election is made by
the Eligible Director by filing, no later than December 31 of each year (or
by such other date as the Committee shall determine), an irrevocable election
with the Company on a form provided for that purpose. The Annual Retainer
Election shall be effective with respect to the Annual Retainer payable on or
after January 1 of the following year. The Annual Retainer Election form
shall specify an amount to be received in the form of Retainer Restricted
Share Awards and/or Retainer Deferred Share Awards expressed as a dollar
amount or as a percentage of the Eligible Director's Annual Retainer. The
issuance of such a Retainer Restricted Share Award or Retainer Deferred Share
Award shall be in lieu of payment of that portion of the Annual Retainer in
cash. In the event that an Eligible Director fails to make a valid Annual
Retainer Election, such Eligible Director shall be deemed to have elected to
receive fifty percent (50%) (or such other greater percentage as the
Committee shall determine) of his or her Annual Retainer in the form of
Retainer Restricted Share Awards.

         7.2 RETAINER RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS.

                  (a) On the first trading day of each calendar year, an
Eligible Director may be granted a Retainer Restricted Share Award. The number
of shares of Common Stock to be awarded to each Eligible Director pursuant to a
Retainer Restricted Share Award shall be determined based on dividing the dollar
amount of the portion of the Annual Retainer that the Eligible Director elected
to receive (or is deemed to have elected to receive) in the form of a Retainer
Restricted Share Award by the average closing price of a share of Common Stock,
at the end of the regular trading session, which as of the effective date of
this Plan is 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Stock Exchange for


                                       5
<PAGE>

the last ten trading days of the immediately preceding calendar year, rounded
up to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Retainer
Restricted Share Awards made in 2001 will be made on the sixth trading day of
2001, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded to each
Eligible Director in 2001 pursuant to a Retainer Restricted Share Award shall
be determined based on dividing the dollar amount of the portion of the
Annual Retainer that the Eligible Director elected to receive (or is deemed
to have elected to receive) in the form of a Retainer Restricted Share Award
by the average closing price of a share of Common Stock, at the end of the
regular trading session, which as of the effective date of this Plan is 4:00
p.m., New York City time, on the New York Stock Exchange for the first five
trading days of 2001, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

                  (b) Shares subject to a Retainer Restricted Share Award may
not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, or subjected to any lien,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, until
such time as the Eligible Director's service as a director of the Company
ceases. In addition, a portion of the shares subject to an Eligible
Director's most recent Retainer Restricted Share Award shall be forfeited if
the Eligible Director's service as a director of the Company ceases for any
reason prior to December 31 of the Issuance Year. The portion of the shares
subject to a Retainer Restricted Share Award that shall be forfeited pursuant
to this Section 7.2(b) shall be determined by multiplying the number of
shares subject to such Retainer Restricted Share Award by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the Issuance Year after
the date of such Eligible Director's cessation of service as a director and
the denominator of which is 365, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

                  (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, an
Eligible Director will have all voting, dividend, distribution and other
rights with respect to shares subject to a Retainer Restricted Share Award
upon the Eligible Director becoming the holder of record of such shares as if
such Eligible Director were a holder of record of shares of unrestricted
Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee determines
otherwise in its sole discretion, any dividends or distributions (including
regular quarterly cash dividends) paid with respect to a Retainer Restricted
Share Award will be currently paid to the Eligible Director and will be
subject to the same restrictions as the Retainer Restricted Share Awards to
which such dividends or distributions relate. In the event the Committee
determines not to pay such dividends or distributions currently, the
Committee will determine in its sole discretion whether any interest will be
paid on such dividends or distributions. In addition, the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may require such dividends and distributions to be
reinvested (and in such case the Eligible Directors consent to such
reinvestment) in shares of Common Stock that will be subject to the same
restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate.

                  (d) To enforce the restrictions referred to in this Section
7.2, ownership of shares subject to a Retainer Restricted Share Award will be
evidenced in a certificateless book-entry stock account in the name of each
Eligible Director with the Company's transfer agent for its Common Stock. A
certificate for the number of shares in such a book-entry account that are
not subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof will be issued to
the applicable Eligible Director when such director's term of service on the
Company's Board ceases.

         7.3 RETAINER DEFERRED SHARE AWARDS.

                  (a) On the first trading day of the calendar year, an Eligible
Director shall receive a credit to his or her Deferred Stock Account equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock ("Deferred Shares") determined by dividing
an amount equal to the amount of the Annual Retainer that the Eligible Director
elected to receive in the form of Retainer Deferred Share Award by the average
closing price of a share of Common Stock, at the end of the regular trading
session, which as of the effective date of this Plan is 4:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the New York Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days of the
immediately preceding calendar year, rounded up to the nearest whole share. In
the event an Eligible Director's services as a director of the Company cease for
any reason prior to December 31 of the Issuance Year, a portion of the Deferred
Shares credited to the Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account will be
forfeited in an amount equal to the Deferred Shares multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the Issuance Year
after the date of such Eligible Director's cessation of service as a director
and the denominator of which is 365, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Retainer Deferred Share Awards made in 2001


                                       6
<PAGE>

will be made on the sixth trading day of 2001, and (ii) the number of
Deferred Shares credited to an Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account
shall be determined based on dividing the dollar amount of the portion of the
Annual Retainer that the Eligible Director elected to receive in the form of
Retainer Deferred Share Award by the average closing price of a share of
Common Stock, at the end of the regular trading session, which as of the
effective date of this Plan is 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York
Stock Exchange for the first five trading days of 2001, rounded up to the
nearest whole share.

                  (b) Each time a cash dividend is paid on the Common Stock,
the Eligible Director shall receive a credit to his or her Deferred Stock
Account equal to that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the
nearest whole share) having a Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date
equal to the amount of the cash dividend payable on the number of shares
credited to the Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account on the dividend
record date.

                  (c) At the time of making the Annual Retainer Election,
each Eligible Director shall also complete a deferral payment election
specifying one of the payment options described in Section 7.3(d) below. The
Eligible Director may change the deferral payment election by means of filing
with the Company a subsequent Annual Retainer Election form providing for a
new deferral payment election. This subsequent deferral payment election will
take effect (i) immediately upon receipt for deferrals credited after the
date the Company receives such subsequent deferral payment election and (ii)
provided the Eligible Director remains an Eligible Director, at the beginning
of the second calendar year following the date of the revised deferral
payment election for deferrals previously credited to the Eligible Director's
Deferred Stock Account.

                  (d) An Eligible Director may elect to receive payment of
his or her Deferred Stock Account in a lump sum on January 10 of the year (or
the first business day thereafter) following the Eligible Director's
termination of service on the Board or in five, ten or fifteen annual
installments beginning on January 10 of the year (or the first business day
thereafter) following the Eligible Director's termination of service on the
Board. If an Eligible Director fails to make a deferral payment election,
such Eligible Director shall be deemed to have elected a single lump sum
payment. All payments shall be made in shares of Common Stock plus cash in
lieu of any fractional share. If an Eligible Director elects to receive
installment payments from his or her Deferred Stock Account, the amount of
each installment payment shall be computed as the number of shares credited
to the Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account, multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total
number of installments elected (i.e. five, ten or fifteen) minus the number
of installments previously paid. Amounts paid prior to the final installment
payment shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares; the final
installment payment shall be for the whole number of shares then credited to
the Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account, together with cash in lieu of
any fractional share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change
of Control, credits to an Eligible Director's Deferred Stock Account as of
the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the transaction
constituting the Change of Control that have not been forfeited pursuant to
Section 7.3(a) hereof shall be paid in full to the Eligible Director or the
Eligible Director's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, in whole
shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of a fractional share) on
such date.

                  (e) If an Eligible Director dies before receiving all
payments to which he or she is entitled under this Section 7.3 of the Plan,
payment shall be made in accordance with the Eligible Director's designation
of a beneficiary on a form provided for that purpose and delivered to and
accepted by the Committee (as hereinafter defined) or, in the absence of a
valid designation or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the
Eligible Director, to such Eligible Director's estate.

                  (f) No right to receive payments under this Section 7.3 of
the Plan nor any shares of Common Stock credited to an Eligible Director's
Deferred Stock Account shall be assignable or transferable by an Eligible
Director other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The
designation of a beneficiary by an Eligible Director pursuant to Section
7.3(e) does not constitute a transfer.

                  (g) Benefits due under this Section 7.3 of the Plan shall be
funded out of the general funds of the Company. The Eligible Directors and
beneficiaries thereof shall be general, unsecured


                                       7
<PAGE>

creditors of the Company with respect to any payments to be made pursuant to
this Section 7.3 of the Plan and shall not have any preferred interest by way
of trust, escrow, lien or otherwise in any specific assets of the Company. If
the Company shall, in fact, elect to set aside monies or other assets to meet
its obligations under this Section 7.3 of the Plan (there being no obligation
to do so), whether in a grantor trust or otherwise, the same shall,
nevertheless, be regarded as a part of the general assets of the Company
subject to the claims of its general creditors, and neither any Eligible
Director nor any beneficiary of any Eligible Director shall have a legal,
beneficial, or security interest therein.

9.       RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS; TRANSFERABILITY OF INTERESTS.

         9.1 SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR. Nothing in the Plan will interfere with
or limit in any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove an
Eligible Director, and neither the Plan, nor the granting of an Award nor any
other action taken pursuant to the Plan, will constitute or be evidence of
any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the stockholders of
the Company will re-elect an Eligible Director for any period of time or at
any particular rate of compensation.

         9.2 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF INTERESTS. Except pursuant to
testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise
expressly permitted by the Plan, no right or interest of any Eligible
Director in an Award prior to the exercise of Options or the vesting of
Restricted Shares will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any
lien, during the lifetime of the Eligible Director, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise. An Eligible Director will,
however, be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive an Award upon such
Eligible Director's death, and in the event of an Eligible Director's death,
payment of any amounts due under the Plan will be made to, and exercise of
any Options (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan) may
be made by, the Eligible Director's legal representatives, heirs and legatees.
