                                      ARTICLE 1.
                                       OFFICES

     1.1)   OFFICES.  The address of the registered office of the corporation
shall be designated in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to
time.  The principal executive office of the corporation shall initially be
located at 1919 Interchange Tower, 600 South Highway 169, Minneapolis, Minnesota
55426, and the corporation may have offices at such other places within or
without the State of Minnesota as the Board of Directors shall from time to time
determine or the business of the corporation requires.


                                      ARTICLE 2.
                               MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     2.1)   REGULAR MEETINGS.  Regular meetings of the shareholders of the
corporation entitled to vote shall be held on an annual or other less frequent
basis as shall be determined by the Board of Directors or by the chief executive
officer; provided, that if a regular meeting has not been held during the
immediately preceding 15 months, a shareholder or shareholders holding three
percent or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote may demand a
regular meeting of shareholders by written notice of demand given to the chief
executive officer or chief financial officer of the corporation.  At each
regular meeting, the shareholders, voting as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation and these Bylaws, shall elect qualified successors for directors
who serve for an indefinite term or for directors whose terms have expired or
are due to expire within six months after the date of the meeting, and shall
transact such other business as shall come before the meeting.  No meeting shall
be considered a regular meeting unless specifically designated as such in the
notice of meeting or unless all the shareholders entitled to vote are present in
person or by proxy and none of them objects to such designation.

     2.2)   SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the shareholders entitled to
vote may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the chief executive
officer, the chief financial officer, two or more directors, or a shareholder or
shareholders holding 10 percent or more of the voting power of all shares
entitled to vote who shall demand such special meeting by giving written notice
of demand to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer
specifying the purposes of the meeting.

     2.3)   MEETINGS HELD UPON SHAREHOLDER DEMAND.  Within 30 days after receipt
by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of a demand from
any shareholder or shareholders entitled to call a regular or special meeting of
shareholders, the Board of Directors shall cause such meeting to be called and
held on notice no later than 90 days after receipt of such demand.  If the Board
of Directors fails to cause such a meeting to be called and held, the
shareholder or shareholders making the demand may call the meeting by giving
notice as provided in Section 2.5 hereof at the expense of the corporation.

     2.4)   PLACE OF MEETINGS.  Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at
the principal executive office of the corporation or at such other place, within
or without the State of Minnesota, as is designated by the Board of Directors,
or if not so designated then as shall be specified in the respective notices or
waivers of notice of such meetings, except that a regular meeting called by or
at the demand of a shareholder shall be held in the county where the principal
executive office of the corporation is located.

     2.5)   NOTICE OF MEETINGS.  Except as otherwise specified in Section 2.6 or
required by law, a written notice setting out the place, date and hour of any
regular or special meeting shall be given to each holder of shares entitled to
vote not less than seven days nor more than 60 days prior to the date of the
meeting; provided, that notice of a meeting at which there is to be considered a
proposal (i) to dispose of all, or substantially all, of the property and assets
of the corporation or (ii) to dissolve the corporation shall be given to all
shareholders of record, whether or not entitled to vote; and provided further,
that notice of a meeting at which there is to be considered a proposal to adopt
a plan of merger or exchange shall be given to all shareholders of record,
whether or not entitled to vote, at least 14 days prior thereto.  Notice of any
special meeting shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting, and
the business transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the
purposes stated in the notice.

     2.6)   WAIVER OF NOTICE.  A shareholder may waive notice of any meeting
before, at or after the meeting, in writing, orally or by attendance.
Attendance at a meeting by a shareholder is a waiver of notice of that meeting
unless the shareholder 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 be
lawfully considered at such meeting and does not participate in the
consideration of the item at such meeting.

     2.7)   QUORUM AND ADJOURNED MEETING.  The holders of a majority of the
voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting, represented either in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
any regular or special meeting of shareholders.  If a quorum is present when a
duly called or held meeting is convened, the shareholders present may continue
to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number
of shareholders originally present leaves less than the proportion or number
otherwise required for a quorum.  In case a quorum is not present at any
meeting, those present shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to
time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite
number of shares entitled to vote shall be represented.  At such adjourned
meeting at which the required amount of shares entitled to vote shall be
represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the original meeting.

     2.8)   VOTING.  At each meeting of the shareholders, every shareholder
having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy duly
appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such shareholder.  Each
shareholder shall have one vote for each share having voting power standing in
each shareholder's name on the books of the corporation except as may be
otherwise provided in the terms of the share.  Upon the demand of any
shareholder, the vote for directors or the vote upon any question before the
meeting shall be by ballot.  All elections shall be determined and all questions
decided by a majority vote of the number of shares entitled to vote and
represented at any meeting at which there is a quorum except in such cases as
shall otherwise be required by statute or the Articles of Incorporation.

     2.9)   ORDER OF BUSINESS.  The suggested order of business at any regular
meeting and, to the extent appropriate, at all other meetings of the
shareholders shall, unless modified by the presiding chairman, be:

     (a)    Call of roll
     (b)    Proof of due notice of meeting or waiver of notice
     (c)    Determination of existence of quorum
     (d)    Reading and disposal of any unapproved minutes
     (e)    Reports of officers and committees
     (f)    Election of directors
     (g)    Unfinished business
     (h)    New business
     (i)    Adjournment.

                                      ARTICLE 3.
                                      DIRECTORS

     3.1)   GENERAL POWERS.  The business and affairs of the corporation shall
be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors.

     3.2)   NUMBER, TERM AND QUALIFICATIONS.  The Board of Directors shall
consist of one or more members.  At each regular meeting, the shareholders shall
determine the number of directors; provided, that between regular meetings the
authorized number of directors may be increased or decreased by the shareholders
or increased by the Board of Directors.  Each director shall serve for an
indefinite term that expires at the next regular meeting of shareholders, and
until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier
death, resignation, disqualification or removal as provided by statute.

     3.3)   VACANCIES.  Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board, though
less than a quorum; provided, that newly created directorships resulting from an
increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors serving at the time of such
increase.  Persons so elected shall be directors until their successors are
elected by the shareholders, who may make such election at the next regular or
special meeting of the shareholders.

     3.4)   QUORUM AND VOTING.  A majority of the directors currently holding
office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  In the
absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors 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 directors present may continue to
transact business until adjournment even though the withdrawal of a number of
directors originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise
required for a quorum.  Except as otherwise required by law or the Articles of
Incorporation, the acts of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present shall be the acts of the Board of Directors.

     3.5)   BOARD MEETINGS; PLACE AND NOTICE.  Meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held from time to time at any place within or without the State
of Minnesota that the Board of Directors may designate.  In the absence of
designation by the Board of Directors, Board meetings shall be held at the
principal executive office of the corporation, except as may be otherwise
unanimously agreed orally, or in writing, or by attendance.  Any director may
call a Board meeting by giving two days' notice to all directors of the date and
time of the meeting.  The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting, and
may be given by mail, telephone, telegram, or in person.  If a meeting schedule
is adopted by the Board, or if the date and time of a Board meeting has been
announced at a previous meeting, no notice is required.

     3.6)   WAIVER OF NOTICE.  A director may waive notice of any meeting
before, at or after the meeting, in writing, orally or by attendance.
Attendance at a meeting by a director is a waiver of notice of that meeting
unless the director 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 in the meeting.

     3.7)   ABSENT DIRECTORS.  A director may give advance written consent or
opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a Board meeting.  If the director 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, but
consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote in favor of or against the
proposal and shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting, if the proposal
acted on at the meeting is


                                          3
<PAGE>

substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to
which the director has consented or objected.

     3.8)   COMPENSATION.  Directors who are not salaried officers of the
corporation shall receive such fixed sum and expenses per meeting attended or
such fixed annual sum or both as shall be determined from time to time by
resolution of the Board of Directors.  Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to preclude any director from serving this corporation in any other
capacity and receiving proper compensation therefor.

     3.9)   COMMITTEES.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution approved by
affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, establish committees having the
authority of the Board in the management of the business of the corporation only
to the extent provided in the resolution.  Committees may include a special
litigation committee consisting of one or more independent directors or other
independent persons to consider legal rights or remedies of the corporation and
whether those rights and remedies should be pursued.  Each such committee shall
consist of one or more natural persons (who need not be directors) appointed by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present, and shall, other
than special litigation committees, be subject at all times to the direction and
control of the Board.  A majority of the members of a committee present at a
meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

     3.10)  ORDER OF BUSINESS.  The suggested order of business at any meeting
of the Board of Directors shall, to the extent appropriate and unless modified
by the presiding chairman, be:

     (a)    Roll call
     (b)    Proof of due notice of meeting or waiver of notice, or unanimous
            presence and declaration by presiding chairman
     (c)    Determination of existence of quorum
     (d)    Reading and disposal of any unapproved minutes
     (e)    Reports of officers and committees
     (f)    Election of officers
     (g)    Unfinished business
     (h)    New business
     (i)    Adjournment.


                                      ARTICLE 4.

     4.1)   NUMBER AND DESIGNATION.  The corporation shall have one or more
natural persons exercising the functions of the offices of chief executive
officer and chief financial officer.  The Board of Directors may elect or
appoint such other officers or agents as it deems necessary for the operation
and management of the corporation including, but not limited to, a Chairman of
the Board, a President, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary and a
Treasurer, each of whom shall have the powers, rights, duties and
responsibilities set forth in these Bylaws unless otherwise determined by the
Board.  Any of the offices or functions of those offices may be held by the same
person.

     4.2)   ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND QUALIFICATION.  At the first meeting of
the Board following each election of directors, the Board shall elect officers,
who shall hold office until the next election of officers or until their
successors are elected or appointed and qualify; provided, however, that any
officer may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Board of Directors present (without prejudice, however, to any
contract rights of such officer).

     4.3)   RESIGNATION.  Any officer may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the corporation.  The resignation is effective when notice is given to
the corporation, unless a later date is specified in the notice, and acceptance
of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

     4.4)   VACANCIES IN OFFICE.  If there be a vacancy in any office of the
corporation, by reason of death, resignation, removal or otherwise, such vacancy
may, or in the case of a vacancy in the office of chief executive officer or
chief financial officer shall, be filled for the unexpired term by the Board of
Directors.

another person or is expressly delegated by the Articles, these Bylaws or the
Board to some other officer or agent of the corporation; (e) may maintain
records of and certify proceedings of the Board and shareholders; and (f) shall
perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to the chief

     4.6)   CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.  Unless provided otherwise by a resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors, the chief financial officer (a) shall keep

     4.7)   CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.  The Chairman of the Board shall preside at
all meetings of the shareholders and of the Board and shall exercise general
supervision and direction over the more significant matters of policy affecting
the affairs of the corporation, including particularly its financial and fiscal
affairs.

     4.8)   PRESIDENT.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the President
shall be the chief executive officer.  If an officer other than the President is
designated chief executive officer, the President shall perform such duties as
may from time to time be assigned to the President by the Board.  If the office
of Chairman of the Board is not filled, the President shall also perform the
duties set forth in Section 4.7.

     4.9)   VICE PRESIDENT.  Each Vice President shall have such powers and
shall perform such duties as may be specified in these Bylaws or prescribed by
the Board of Directors.  In the event of absence or disability of the President,
the Board of Directors may designate a Vice President or Vice Presidents to
succeed to the power and duties of the President.

     4.10)  SECRETARY.  The Secretary shall, unless otherwise determined by the

Directors, and may record the proceedings of such meetings in the minute book of

executive officer from time to time.

     4.12)  DELEGATION.  Unless prohibited by a resolution approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present, an officer elected or

                                      ARTICLE 5.
                                   INDEMNIFICATION

     5.1)   INDEMNIFICATION.  The corporation shall indemnify such persons, for
such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances, and to
such extent, as permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.521, as now
enacted or hereafter amended.


                                      ARTICLE 6.
                              SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

     6.1)   CERTIFICATE OF STOCK.  Every owner of stock of the corporation shall
be entitled to a certificate, in such form as the Board of Directors may
prescribe, certifying the number of shares of stock of the corporation owned by
such shareholder.  The certificates for such stock shall be numbered (separately
for each class) in the order in which they are issued and shall, unless
otherwise determined by the Board, be signed by the chief executive officer, the
chief financial officer, or any other officer of the corporation.  A signature
upon a certificate may be a facsimile.  Certificates on which a facsimile
signature of a former officer, transfer agent or registrar appears may be issued
with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or
registrar on the date of issue.

     6.2)   STOCK RECORD.  As used in these Bylaws, the term "shareholder" shall
mean the person, firm or corporation in whose name outstanding shares of capital
stock of the corporation are currently registered on the stock record books of
the corporation.  The corporation shall keep, at its principal executive office
or at another place or places within the United States determined by the Board,
a share register not more than one year old containing the names and addresses
of the shareholders and the number and classes of shares held by each
shareholder.  The corporation shall also keep at its principal executive office
or at another place or places within the United States determined by the Board,
a record of the dates on which certificates representing shares were issued.
Every certificate surrendered to the corporation for exchange or transfer shall
be cancelled and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange
for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so
cancelled (except as provided for in Section 6.4 of this Article 6).

     6.3)   TRANSFER OF SHARES.  Transfer of shares on the books of the
corporation may be authorized only by the shareholder named in the certificate
(or the shareholder's legal representative or duly authorized attorney-in-fact)
and upon surrender for cancellation of the certificate or certificates for such
shares.  The shareholder in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the
corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the
corporation; provided, that when any transfer of shares shall be made as
collateral security and not absolutely, such fact, if known to the corporation
or to the transfer agent, shall be so expressed in the entry of


                                          6
<PAGE>

transfer; and provided, further, that the Board of Directors may establish a
procedure whereby a shareholder may certify that all or a portion of the shares
registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of one or
more beneficial owners.

     6.4)   LOST CERTIFICATE.  Any shareholder claiming a certificate of stock
to be lost or destroyed shall make an affidavit or affirmation of that fact in
such form as the Board of Directors may require, and shall, if the directors so
require, give the corporation a bond of indemnity in form and with one or more
sureties satisfactory to the Board of at least double the value, as determined
by the Board, of the stock represented by such certificate in order to indemnify
the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the
alleged loss or destruction of such certificate, whereupon a new certificate may
be issued in the same tenor and for the same number of shares as the one alleged
to have been destroyed or lost.


                                      ARTICLE 7.
                                  GENERAL PROVISIONS

     7.1)   RECORD DATES.  In order to determine the shareholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of a dividend
or other distribution, the Board of Directors may fix a record date which shall
not be more than 60 days preceding the date of such meeting or distribution.  In
the absence of action by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting shall be at the close of business
on the day preceding the day on which notice is given, and the record date for
determining shareholders entitled to receive a distribution shall be at the
close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors authorizes such
distribution.

     7.2)   DISTRIBUTIONS; ACQUISITIONS OF SHARES.  Subject to the provisions of
law, the Board of Directors may authorize the acquisition of the corporation's
shares and may authorize distributions whenever and in such amounts as, in its
opinion, the condition of the affairs of the corporation shall render it
advisable.

     7.3)   FISCAL YEAR.  The fiscal year of the corporation shall be
established by the Board of Directors.

     7.4)   SEAL.  The corporation shall have such corporate seal or no
corporate seal as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine.

     7.5)   SECURITIES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS.

     (a)    VOTING SECURITIES HELD BY THE CORPORATION.  Unless otherwise ordered
     by the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer shall have full
     power and authority on behalf of the corporation (i) to attend and to vote
     at any meeting of security holders of other companies in which the
     corporation may hold securities; (ii) to execute any proxy for such meeting
     on behalf of the corporation; and (iii) to execute a written action in lieu
     of a meeting of such other company on behalf of this corporation.  At such
     meeting, by such proxy or by such writing in lieu of meeting, the chief
     executive officer shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and
     powers incident to the ownership of such securities that the corporation
     might have possessed and exercised if it had been present.  The Board of
     Directors may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or
     persons.

     (b)    PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES.  Unless otherwise ordered by the
     Board of Directors, the chief executive officer shall have full power and
     authority on behalf of the corporation to purchase, sell, transfer or
     encumber securities of any other company owned by the corporation which
     represent not more than 10 percent of the outstanding securities of


                                          7
<PAGE>

     such issue, and may execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary
     to effectuate such purchase, sale, transfer or encumbrance.  The Board of
     Directors may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or
     persons.

     7.6)   SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTS.  In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between these Bylaws, or any amendment thereto, and any
shareholder control agreement as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
302A.457, whenever adopted, such shareholder control agreement shall govern.


                                      ARTICLE 8.
                                       MEETINGS

     8.1)   TELEPHONE MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATION.  A conference among
shareholders or directors or committee members by any means of communication
through which the participants may simultaneously hear each other during the
conference constitutes a shareholder, Board or Committee meeting, respectively,
if the same notice is given of the conference as would be required for such
meeting, and if the number of participants in the conference would be sufficient
to constitute a quorum at such meeting.  Participation in a meeting by that
means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.  A shareholder, director or
committee member may participate in a meeting not heretofore described in this
paragraph, by any means of communication through which such shareholder,
director or committee member and others participating by similar means of
communication, and all participants 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.

     8.2)   AUTHORIZATION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action of the shareholders, the
Board of Directors, or any committee of the corporation which may be taken at a
meeting thereof, may be taken without a meeting if authorized by a writing
signed by all of the holders of shares who would be entitled to vote on such
action, by all of the directors (unless less than unanimous action is permitted
by the Articles of Incorporation), or by all of the members of such committee,
as the case may be.


                                      ARTICLE 9.
                                 AMENDMENTS OF BYLAWS

     9.1)   AMENDMENTS.  Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise,
these Bylaws may be altered, amended, added to or repealed by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.  Such authority in
the Board of Directors is subject to the power of the shareholders to change or
repeal such Bylaws, and the Board of Directors shall not make or alter any
Bylaws fixing a quorum for meetings of shareholders, prescribing procedures for
removing directors or filling vacancies on the Board, or fixing the number of
