capital stock of 10,000,000,000 shares, all of $.01 par
value, that such shares may be issued as full or fractional
shares and that on January 31, 1996, 41,595,266 shares were
issued and outstanding;
(b) That all such authorized shares are, under the laws of the
State of Minnesota, redeemable as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company and upon redemption shall have
the status of authorized and unissued shares;
(c) That the Company registered on August 30, 1989 an indefinite
number of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 and is herewith
filing a Rule 24f-2 Notice covering the shares during its
Fiscal Period ended January 31, 1996; and
(d) That shares which were sold at not less than their par value
and in accordance with applicable federal and state

nonassessable.
