On or before the day that such change is to become effective, a certificate announcing such change shall be filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Section 2. Other Offices. The Company may establish and maintain such other offices, within or without the State of Minnesota, as are from time to time authorized by the Board.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

Section 1. Regular Meetings. When and if held, regular meetings of the members shall be conducted as follows:

Frequency. Regular meetings of members may be held on an annual basis. However, regular meetings need not be held.

Demand by Member. If a regular meeting of members has not been held within the earlier of six months after the fiscal year end of the organization or fifteen (15) months after its last meeting, a member or members holding five (5%) percent or more of the voting power of all members entitled to vote may demand a regular meeting of members upon written notice given to the President or Secretary of the Company.

Required Business. At each regular meeting of members, there shall be an election of qualified successors for governors, all of whom shall serve for an indefinite term. No other particular business is required to be transacted at the regular meeting. Any business appropriate for action by the members may be transacted at a regular meeting.

Section 2. Special Meetings of Members. When and if held, special meetings of the members shall be conducted as follows:

Who may call. Special meetings of the members may be called for any purpose or purposes at any time, by:

(1)

the President;

(2)

two (2) or more governors;

(3)

a person authorized by the Articles of Organization to call special meetings; or

(4)

a member or members holding ten (10%) percent or more of the voting power of all membership units entitled to vote.

Business Limited. The business transacted at a special meeting is limited to the purpose stated in the notice of the meeting. Any business transacted at a special meeting that is not included in those stated purposes is voidable by or on behalf of the Company, unless all of the members have waived notice of the meeting as set forth in Section 6d of this Article.

Section 3. Organization of Meetings. At all meetings of the members, the President or, in the absence of the President, any person appointed by the President, shall act as Chairman, and the Secretary or, in the absence of the Secretary, any person appointed by the Chairman, shall act as Secretary.

Section 4. Place of Meetings. Meetings of members called by the demand of a member or members shall be held in the county where the principal executive office of the Company is located. All other meetings of members shall be held at such places as may be fixed from time to time by the Board.

Section 5. Time of Meetings. Meetings called by the demand of a member or members shall be held on notice from the Board no sooner than thirty (30) days and no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the demand. All other meetings of members shall be held at such times as may be fixed from time to time by the Board.

Section 6. Notice. Notice of member meetings shall be given as follows:

To Whom Given. Except as provided in the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act, notice of all meetings of members shall be given to every owner of membership units entitled to vote, unless:

(1)

The meeting is an adjourned meeting to be held not more than one hundred twenty (20) days after the date fixed for the original meeting and the date, time and place of the meeting were announced at the time of adjournment of the original meeting; or

(2)

The following have been mailed by first class mail to a member at the address in the Company records and returned undeliverable:

(a)

Two (2) consecutive annual meeting notices and notice of any special meetings held during the period between the two (2) annual meetings; and

(b)

All payments of distributions sent during a twelve (12) month period, provided there were at least two (2) sent during the twelve (12) month period.

When Given. In all instances when a specific minimum notice period has not otherwise been fixed by law, the notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the date of the meeting and not more than fifty (50) days before the date of the meeting.

Contents. The notice shall contain the date, time and place of the meeting and any other information required under the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act. In the case of a special meeting, the notice shall contain a statement of the purposes of the meeting. The notice may also contain any other information deemed necessary or desirable by the Board or by any other person or persons calling the meeting.

Waiver and Objections. A member may waive notice of the meeting of members. A waiver of notice by a member entitled to notice is effective when given before, at, or after the meeting. Such notice is effective whether given in writing or by attendance. Attendance by a member at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the member objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or objects before a vote on an item of business because the item may not lawfully be considered at that meeting and does not participate in the consideration of the item at that meeting.

Section 7. Remote Communications. Member conferences may utilize remote communications subject to the following:

Simultaneous Participation. A meeting of the member may be held solely by any combination of means of remote communication through which the participants may participate in the meeting:

(1)

if notice of the meeting is given to every owner of membership interests entitled to vote as would be required by this chapter for a meeting; and

(2)

if the membership interests held by the members participating in the meeting would be sufficient to constitute a quorum at a meeting.

A member not physically present in person or by proxy at a regular or special meeting of members may by means of remote communication, participate in a meeting of members held at a designated place.

Other Conferences. In any meeting of members held solely by means of remote communication under subsection a of this Section 7 or in any meeting of members held at a designated place in which one or more members participate by means of remote communication, the company shall implement reasonable measures to:

(1)

verify that each person deemed present and entitled to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a member; and

(2)

provide each member participating by means of remote communication with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting, including an opportunity to:

(a)

read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with those proceedings;

(b)

if allowed, by the procedures governing the meeting, have the member’s remarks heard or read by other participants in the meeting substantially concurrently with the making of those remarks; and

(c)

if otherwise entitled, vote on matters submitted to the members.

Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence at the meeting in person or by proxy if all other requirements of this Article are met.

Notice. Any notice to members given by the company by a form of electronic communication consented to by the member to whom the notice is given is effective when given. The notice is deemed given:

(1)

by facsimile communication, when directed to a telephone number at which the member has consented to receive notice;

(2)

by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the member has consented to receive notice;

(3)

by a posting on an electronic network on which the member has consented to receive notice, together with separate notice to the member of the specific posting upon the later of the posting or the giving of the separate notice; and

(4)

by any other form of electronic communication by which the member has consented to receive notice, when directed by the member.

Consent by a member to notice given by electronic communication may be given in writing or by authenticated electronic communication. The company is entitled to rely on any consent so given until revoked by the member, provided that no revocation affects the validity of any notice given before receipt by the company of revocation of the consent.

Waiver and Objections. Waiver of notice of a meeting by means of authenticated electronic communication described in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7 may be given in the manner provided in Section 6. Participation in a meeting by means of remote communication described in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7 is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the member objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or objects before a vote on an item of business because the item may not lawfully be considered at the meeting and does not participate in the consideration of the item at that meeting.

Section 8. Quorum. The owners of a majority of the voting power of the membership units entitled to vote at a meeting are a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the members present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of the members originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.

Section 9. Voting. The voting of membership units entitled to vote shall be conducted as follows:

Act of the Members. The members shall be deemed to have acted when:

(1)

Majority Required. The members shall take action by the affirmative vote of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the membership units present and entitled to vote on that item of business except where the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act or the Articles of Organization require a larger proportion.

(2)

Voting by Class. In any case where a class or series of membership units is entitled to vote, the matter being voted upon must also receive the affirmative vote of the owners of the same proportion of the membership units present of that class or series, or of the total outstanding membership units of that class or series, as the proportion required pursuant to subdivision (1) of this subsection a, unless the Articles of Organization require a larger proportion. Unless otherwise stated in the Articles of Organization in the case of voting as a class, the minimum percentage of the total voting power of membership units of the class or series which must be present shall be equal to the minimum percentage of all membership units entitled to vote required to be present under Section 9 of this Article.

Voting Rights. The voting rights of those membership units entitled to vote shall be as follows:

(1)

Determination. The Board may fix a date not more than fifty (50) days before the date of a meeting of members as the date for the determination of the owners of membership units entitled to notice of and entitled to vote at the meeting. When a date is so fixed, only members on that date are entitled to notice of and permitted to vote at the meeting of members.

(2)

Non-Members. The Articles of Organization may give or prescribe the manner of giving a creditor, security holder or other person a right to vote under this Section. However, no prescription under this subdivision may have the effect of transferring from an assignor of financial rights to the assignee the assignor’s voting rights.

(3)

Jointly Owned Membership Units. Membership units owned by two (2) or more members may be voted by any one (1) of them unless the Company receives written notice from any one (1) of them denying the authority of that person to vote for the membership units.

Section 10. Action Without A Meeting. An action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the members of this Company may be taken by a written action signed, or consented to by authenticated electronic communication, by all of the members who own voting power equal to the voting power that would be required to take the same action at a meeting of the members at which all members were present. If the members take written action, all members must be notified immediately of the written action’s text and effective date. Failure to provide the notice does not invalidate the written action. A member who does not sign or consent to the written action has no liability for the action or actions taken by the written action. A written action in this manner is effective when signed by the required members, unless a different effective time is provided in the written action.

ARTICLE III

BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Section 1. Board to Manage. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of a Board of Governors.

Section 2. Number. The Board shall consist of one (1) or more governors. The number of governors shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Governors.

Section 3. Qualifications. The governors shall be natural persons.

Section 4. Election. The governors shall be elected at the next regular meeting of the members.

Section 5. Terms. A governor serves for an indefinite term that expires at the next regular meeting of the members. A fixed term of a governor must not exceed five (5) years. A governor holds office until expiration of the term for which the governor was elected or appointed and until a successor is appointed and has qualified, or until the earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification of the governor.

Section 6. Compensation. The Board may fix the compensation of governors.

Section 7. Classification of Governors. There shall be no classification of governors.

Section 8. Resignation. A governor may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. The resignation is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Company, unless a later effective time is stated in the notice. If a resignation is made effective at a later time, the board may fill the pending vacancy before the effective time if the board provides that the successor does not take office until the effective time.

Section 9. Removal of Governors. Governors shall be removed in the following manner:

Removal by Governors. A governor may be removed at any time, with or without cause, if:

(1)

the governor was named by the Board to fill a vacancy;

(2)

the members have not elected governors in the interval between the time of the appointment to fill a vacancy and the time of removal; and

(3)

a majority of the remaining governors present affirmatively vote to remove the governor.

Removal by Members. Any one or all of the governors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the owners of the proportion or number of the voting power of the membership units of the classes or series the governor represents sufficient to elect them.

Election of Replacements. New governors may be elected at a meeting at which governors are removed.

Removal by Judicial Proceeding. The district court of the county where the principal executive office is located may remove any governor from office in a proceeding commenced either by the Company, its members holding at least 10 percent of the voting power of any class of membership interests, or the attorney general, if the court finds that:

(1)

The governor engaged in fraudulent, dishonest conduct, gross abuse of authority, or discretion with respect to the Company or a final judgment has been entered finding they violated Section 1l(m);

(2)

Removal is in the best interest of the Company.

The court that removes a governor may bar the governor from serving on the board for a period prescribed by the court. If members or the attorney general commence a proceeding under this subsection, then the Company shall be a party defendant.

Section 10. Vacancies. The following rules shall govern the filling of vacancies:

Vacancies on the Board resulting from the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of the governor may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining governors, even though less than a quorum; and

Vacancies on the Board resulting from newly created governorships may be filled by the affirmative vote by a majority of the governors serving at the time of the increase.

Each governor elected under this Section to fill a vacancy holds office until a qualified successor is elected by the members at the next regular meeting or special meeting of the members.

Section 11. Board Meetings.

Organization of Meetings. At all meetings of the Board, the President or, in the absence of the President, any person appointed by the President shall act as Chairman, and the Secretary or, in the absence of the Secretary, any person appointed by the Chairman, shall act as Secretary.

Place of Meetings. If the Board fails to select a place for meeting, the meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Company.

Time of Meetings. Meetings of the Board may be held from time to time at any place within or without the state that the Board may select.

Remote Communications. Governor conferences may utilize remote communications subject to the following:

(1)

Simultaneous Participation. Any meeting among governors may be conducted solely by any one or more means of remote communication through which all of the governors may participate with each other during the meeting:

(a)

if the same notice is given of the conference as would be required by the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act for a meeting; and

(b)

if the number of governors participating in the conference would be sufficient to constitute a quorum at a meeting.

Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

(2)

Other Conferences. A governor may participate in a Board of Governors meeting not described in subdivision (1) of this Section 11d by any means of remote communication through which the governor, other governors so participating, and all governors physically present at the meeting may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

Notice. A governor may call a Board meeting by giving ten (10) days notice to all governors of the date, time and place of the meeting. The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting.

Previously Scheduled Meetings. If the day or date, time and place of a Board meeting have been announced at a previous meeting of the Board, no notice is required. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given other than by announcement at the meeting at which adjournment is taken.

Waiver of Notice and Objection. A governor may waive notice of a meeting of the Board. A waiver of notice by a governor entitled to notice is effective whether given before, at or after the meeting. Such notice is effective whether given in writing, orally, or by attendance. Attendance by a governor at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the governor objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter at the meeting.

Absent Governors. A governor may give advance written consent or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a Board meeting. If the governor is not present at the meeting, consent or opposition to a proposal does not constitute presence for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. However, consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote of a governor present at the meeting in favor of or against the proposal and shall be entered in the minutes or other record of action at the meeting, if the proposal acted on at the meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to which the governor has consented or objected.

Quorum. A majority of the governors currently holding office present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the governors present may adjourn a meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the governors present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of governors originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.

Act of the Board. The Board shall take action by the affirmative vote of the greater of:

(1)

a majority of the governors present at a duly held meeting at the time the action is taken; or

(2)

a majority of the governors that would constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting,

except where the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act requires the affirmative vote of a larger number.

Action Without Meeting. The Board may take action without a meeting as follows:

(1)

Method. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Governors, not needing approval by the members, may be taken by written action signed by the number of governors that would be required to take such action at a meeting of the Board of Governors at which all governors are present.

(2)

Effective Time. The written action is effective when signed by, or consented to by authenticated electronic communication, the required number of governors, unless a different effective time is provided in the written action.

(3)

Notice and Liability. When written action is permitted to be taken by less than all governors, all governors must be notified immediately of its text and effective date. Failure to provide the notice does not invalidate the written action. A governor who does not sign or consent to the written action has no liability for the action or actions taken by the written action.

Committees. A resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Governors may establish committees having the authority of the Board in the management of the business of the Company only to the extent provided in the resolution. Committees may include a special litigation committee consisting of one (1) or more independent governors or other persons to consider legal rights or remedies of the Company and whether those rights and remedies should be pursued. Committees other than special litigation committees are subject at all times to the direction and control of the Board of Governors.

(1)

Membership. Committee members must be natural persons. A committee consists of one (1) or more persons, who need not be governors, appointed by affirmative vote of a majority of the governors present.

(2)

Procedure. Subsections a through k of this Section 11 apply to committees and members of committees to the same extent as those subsections apply to the Board of Governors and governors.

(3)

Minutes. Minutes, if any, of committee meetings must be made available upon request to members of the committee and to any governor.

(4)

Standard of Conduct. The establishment of, delegation of authority to, and action by a committee does not alone constitute compliance by a governor with the standard of conduct set forth in Minnesota Statutes.

Standards of Conduct. Except as provided in Minnesota Stautes, the following standards of conduct shall govern the conduct of governors:

(1)

Standard and Liability. A governor shall discharge the duties of the position of governor in good faith, and in a manner the governor reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. A person who so performs those duties is not liable by reason of being or having been a governor of the Company.

(2)

Reliance. A governor is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements, and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by:

(a)

one or more managers or employees of the Company whom the governor reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

(b)

counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters that the governor reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or

(c)

a committee of the Board, upon which the governor does not serve, duly established in accordance with the Minnesota Limited Liability Company Act, as to matters within its designated authority, if the governor reasonably believes the committee to merit confidence.

This subdivision (2) does not apply to a governor who has knowledge concerning the matter in question, but makes unwarranted the reliance otherwise permitted by this subdivision (2).

(3)

Presumption of Assent. A governor who is present at a meeting of the Board when an action is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the governors present is presumed to have assented to the action approved, unless the governor:

(a)

objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter in the meeting, in which case the governor shall not be considered to be present at the meeting for any purpose;

(b)

votes against the action at the meeting; or

(c)

is prohibited by a conflict of interest, as set forth in Minnesota Statutes, from voting on the action.

(4)

Limits of Personal Liability. No governor of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company nor to its members for any monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a governor. However, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a governor:

(a)

For any breach of the governor’s duty of loyalty to the limited liability company or to its members;

(b)

For acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

(c)

For any distributions from the Company which are determined to be illegal under Minnesota Statutes;

(d)

For any transaction from which the governor derived an improper personal benefit; or

(e)

For any act or omission occurring before the date when the provision in the Articles of Organization eliminating or limiting liability becomes effective.

ARTICLE IV

In the absence of an election or appointment of managers by the Board, the person or persons exercising the principal functions of the President, Treasurer and Secretary are deemed to have been elected to those offices, except for the purpose of determining the location of the principal executive office, which in that case is the registered office of the Company.

Qualifications. The managers shall be natural persons.

Compensation. The compensation of all managers of the Company shall be fixed by the Board.

Contract Rights. The election or appointment of a person as a manager or agent does not, of itself, create contract rights. However, the Company may enter into a contract with a manager or agent. The resignation or removal of the manager or agent is without prejudice to any contract rights or obligations.

Resignation. Any manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. The resignation is effective without acceptance when notice is given to the Company, unless a later effective date is specified in the notice.

Removal. A manager may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the governors present, subject to the provisions of any member control agreement.

Section 3. Delegation. Unless prohibited by a resolution approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the governors present, a manager elected or appointed by the Board may, without the approval of the Board, delegate some or all of the duties and powers of an office to other persons. A manager who delegates the duties or powers of an office remains subject to the standard of conduct for a manager with respect to the discharge of all duties and powers to be delegated.

Section 4. Standards of Conduct. Except as provided in Minnesota Statutes, a manager shall discharge the duties of an office in good faith in a manner the manager reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances. A person exercising the principal functions of an office or to whom some or all of the duties and powers of an office are delegated pursuant to Section 3 of this Article Four is deemed a manager for all purposes.

(1)

the Board accepts the contribution on behalf of the Company and in that acceptance:

(a)

describes the contribution, including terms of future performance, if any; and

states the value being accorded to the contribution; and

(2)

the fact of the contribution and the contribution’s accorded value are both reflected in the member control agreement and statement of contributions accepted and in any other required records of the Company.

Valuation. The determination by the Board as to the amount or fair value or the fairness to the Company of the contribution accepted or to be accepted by the Company or the terms of payment or performance, including under a contribution agreement or a contribution allowance agreement, are presumed to be proper if they are made in good faith and on the basis of accounting methods or a fair valuation or other method, reasonable in the circumstances.

(1)

For this purpose, a Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain shall be determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2).

(2)

This Paragraph is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(l) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Qualified Income Offset. If any Member at any time unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and if such adjustment, allocation or distribution results in a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account in excess of the sum of:

the amount such Member is obligated to restore to the Company under this Agreement; and

(2)

the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(l)(ii) and Section 1.704-2(i)(5), then items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member so as to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d), such negative balance in the Capital Account as quickly as possible.

▇.

▇▇▇▇▇ Income Allocation. If the Capital Account of any Member would have a negative balance at the end of any Company taxable year in excess of the sum of:

(1)

the amount such Member is obligated to restore to the Company under this Agreement; and

(2)

the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(l)(ii) and Section 1.704-2(i)(5), then such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income (including gross income) in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible.

Curative Allocations. Any allocation to a Member under Subparagraphs 4d(l), 4d(2) and 4d(3) (a “Regulatory Allocation”) shall be taken into account in determining subsequent allocations so that the net amount of Regulatory Allocations and all other items allocated under the provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member under the provisions of this Paragraph 4 if no Regulatory Allocation had been made.

Section 5. Tax Allocations. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value as of the date of contribution.

If any Company asset is adjusted as a result of re-evaluation pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value as of the date of such re-evaluation in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any election or other decision relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

Allocations pursuant to this Section 5 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of income, profits, gains, losses, expenses, deductions, credits or other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
