             (iv)  shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of

        On October 29, 1992, David H. Rotter, who is the President, Secretary
and a Director of the Company, and his brother, Bernard J. Rotter, who is the
Vice President, Treasurer and a Director of the Company, and their respective
children and then spouses entered into a Shareholders' Agreement (the
"Shareholders' Agreement") intended by them to preserve continuity of
ownership and control of the Company. On July 24, 1995 a divorce decree (the
"Divorce Decree") was entered in Hennepin County District Court with respect
to the divorce of David H. Rotter and his spouse, Shirley A. Rotter. Pursuant
to the Divorce Decree one half of the shares then held by David H. Rotter and
Shirley A. Rotter were ordered to be put into a constructive trust (the
"Trust") for the benefit of Shirley A. Rotter to be held until the earlier of
(i) the repayment of the Company's loan with First Bank Association, N.A.,
which loan David H. Rotter has personally guaranteed or (ii) June 1, 1999.
The loan with First Bank Association, N.A. has been paid off. On April 14,
1999, 786,400 shares were transferred from the Trust to Shirley A. Rotter
(100 shares were already in the name of Shirley A. Rotter). On June 9, 1999,
786,500 shares were transferred from Shirley A. Rotter to the Shirley A.
Rotter Living Trust. Shirley A. Rotter's rights and obligations under the
Shareholders' Agreement remain in full force and effect.

        The Shareholders' Agreement divides the Rotter families who own
shares into two groups, the "DR Group", whose controlling shareholder is
David H. Rotter and the "BR Group", whose controlling shareholder is Bernard
Rotter. The members of the groups, so long as they own their respective
shares, have agreed to (i) vote their shares in accordance with the
instructions of the controlling shareholder of their respective group and
(ii) certain restrictions upon their ability to transfer or otherwise dispose
of their shares to third parties in the event of certain voluntary lifetime
transfers, upon death and in the case of involuntary transfers. If any of the
members of the DR Group desire to dispose of their shares without the consent
of David H. Rotter, such member must first offer the shares to David H.
Rotter, and if he does not elect to acquire such shares, then to Bernard J.
Rotter. Similarly, if any member of the BR Group desires to dispose of his or
her shares without the consent of Bernard J. Rotter, such member must first
offer such shares to Bernard J. Rotter, and if he does not elect to acquire
such shares, then to David H. Rotter. David H. Rotter and Bernard J. Rotter
have agreed that they will offer their respective shares to the other in the
event of a proposed lifetime transfer, and each has given to the other the
option to purchase his shares upon death, disability or in the event of an
involuntary transfer.
