All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post- effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document all or part of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Hinshaw & Culbertson has provided the opinion on the legality of the securities being registered. Roger W. Schnobrich, a director of DTR, is a partner with Hinshaw & Culbertson. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify the directors and officers of the Company against liability (and expenses related thereto) arising out of their status as directors and officers to the extent permitted by law. Additionally certain indemnification rights are available under the Minnesota General Corporation Law ("MCL") to officers and directors to the extent they are successful in the defense of any proceeding to which they were a party by virtue of their position as a director or officer. Further, as permitted by the MCL, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company include a provision limiting the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for certain breaches of their duties as directors to the extent permitted under the MCL. The Company also maintains a directors' and officers' liability policy which insures such person against claims arising from certain acts or decisions by them in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company, subject to certain exclusions and deductible and maximum amounts. Such limitation of liability pursuant to state law does not affect liability, if any, arising under the federal securities laws. Further, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to contractual provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS A. Post-Effective Amendments The Company hereby undertakes: (l) 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 in the information set forth 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 percent 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 subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above 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 Company 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.

C. Claims for Indemnification Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
