Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Statutes requires, among
other things, the indemnification of persons made or threatened to be made a
party to a proceeding by reason of acts or omissions performed in their official
capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation against
judgments, penalties and fines (including attorneys' fees) if such person is not
otherwise indemnified, acted in good faith, received no improper benefit,
believes that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, and, in
the case of criminal proceedings, had no reason to believe the conduct was
unlawful. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the
corporation, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is
made by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors present at a meeting
at which a disinterested quorum is present or by a designated committee of the
board, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders or by a court.
Article IX of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director of the Company shall not be
personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) for authorizing a dividend, stock repurchase or
redemption or other distribution in violation of Minnesota law or for violation
of certain provisions of Minnesota securities laws; (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) for any act
or omission occurring prior to the date when Article IX became effective.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall
indemnify such persons, for such liabilities, in such manner, under such
circumstances and to such extent as permitted by Section 302A.521, as now
enacted or hereafter amended.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change to such information in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change in the
information set forth in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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.
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 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
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 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 in connection 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 of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to National Computer Systems, Inc., a
Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a registration
statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 542,632 shares (the "Shares") of common
stock, par value $.03 per share, of the Company. The Shares will be sold from
time to time by the selling shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") named in
the Registration Statement, on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise, directly
or through underwriters, brokers or dealers.
We have examined such documents and have reviewed such
questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the
purposes of our opinions set forth below. In rendering our opinions set forth
below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to authentic
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the
legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with
respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than
the Company, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate
or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments,
that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite
action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties and that
such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of such parties. As to questions of fact material to our opinions,
we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public
officials.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares
to be sold by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Registration Statement
have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Our opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the
State of Minnesota.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration
Statement.
