6.02[5] Questionnaire for Non-Employee DirectorsNAME: _______________________________
Name of Non-Employee Director) Please print name exactly as it should appear in
the Registration Statement)
THE COMPANY, INC. The Company, Inc., an Iowa corporation (the "Company"), plans to file a
registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") registering shares of its common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be sold pursuant to an
underwritten offering. In connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement, it is necessary that the Company be supplied with
answers to the questions in this Questionnaire from directors and officers of
the above-listed company.
The Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), imposes
certain liabilities on the officers and directors of a company filing a
registration statement if the registration statement, when it becomes effective,
either contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading. Although the Bylaws of the
Company may contain certain provisions for indemnification of its officers
and/or directors, in the opinion of the SEC, public policy will render those
provisions unenforceable with respect to any liabilities arising under federal
securities laws. Therefore, the most effective protection for the Company and
you will be a careful reading of the Registration Statement.
This Questionnaire is to be answered by every non-employee director and
proposed non-employee director of the Company. Your careful completion of this
Questionnaire will help ensure that the Registration Statement will be accurate
and complete at the time it becomes effective.
After completing this Questionnaire, please retain one copy for your
personal files and return one signed copy, not later than

APPENDIX A
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
As used in this Questionnaire, the term "beneficial ownership" does not carry
its ordinary connotation. Rather it is a technical term which has been
specifically defined by the SEC. The term as defined by the SEC is used in a
very broad sense to encompass many situations which might not be thought to
confer ownership in the usual sense. It is therefore important to give careful
consideration to the definition and the discussion which follow. If you are
uncertain whether a particular set of facts warrants a conclusion that you
beneficially own securities of the Company or any of its affiliates, please
resolve your doubts in favor of reporting the securities in question. (In this
regard note that space is provided in the Questionnaire for a disclaimer of
beneficial ownership as to any or all of the securities reported.)
The SEC has provided the following general definitions:
A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or
indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or
otherwise, has or shares:1. Voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the
voting or, such security; and/or
2. Investment power, which includes the power to dispose of, or to
direct the disposition of, such security.
It should be emphasized that the possession of either voting power or investment
power as described above suffices to confer beneficial ownership.
A person is also deemed to be the "beneficial owner" of securities which such
person has the right to acquire (i) through the exercise of an option, warrant
or right (including options traded on option exchanges) exercisable within 60
days, (ii) through the conversion of securities which are immediately
convertible or will become convertible within 60 days, or (iii) pursuant to a
power to revoke within 60 days a trust, discretionary account or similar
arrangement.
In applying these definitions to concrete situations three key concepts-to a
large extent interrelated-emerge as central considerations:
(a) Whether one has the power to vote or dispose of securities is
essential to a finding of beneficial ownership and is not a matter of legal
title or authority but a question of fact which can go behind legal forms.
On this basis, securities owned beneficially include not only securities held by
you for your own benefit, whether in bearer form or registered in your own name
or otherwise, but also securities held by others as to which you have or share
voting power or investment power (regardless of how the securities are
registered) such as, for example, securities held for you by custodians, brokers
or pledgees. Securities owned by a corporation which you control are within your
power to vote and invest and thus are considered beneficially owned by you
despite the separate legal personality of the corporation.
Similarly, where by virtue of a special relationship, whether of a family or a
business nature, you have substantial influence over the decisions of another
person in investing or voting his securities, any securities of the Company
owned by that person should be considered beneficially owned by you. Thus, for
example, securities owned by all persons related to you by blood, marriage or
adoption or other persons who share your home should be considered beneficially
owned by you absent a clear history of independent decision-making in their
investment and voting in the securities. (Such securities would also be reported
in the Questionnaire as owned by such relatives as your associates.)
In addition, securities held by you solely for the economic benefit of another
person, for example, as nominee, trustee or executor, are considered
beneficially owned by you if you have or share voting power or investment power
with respect to such securities. (If you have been named as executor of an
estate but have not yet qualified under local law, you are not considered the
beneficial owner of securities in the estate, absent other facts indicating
actual power.)
The power to vote or invest securities need not be presently exercisable to
confer beneficial ownership. The fact that securities are held by you in trust
or in a discretionary account removes them from your control; but if you have
the power to terminate the relationship and regain control of the securities at
will or within 60 days, they are considered to be subject to your power and,
hence, beneficially owned by you. The same applies to securities which you can
acquire by option or other right exercisable at this time or which will become
exercisable within the next 60 days.
Securities held by you as pledgee are subject to special rules. You would not
ordinarily by deemed the beneficial owner of securities held by you in the
ordinary course of business as pledgee pursuant to a bona fide pledge agreement
if the pledge agreement provides that you have no substantive rights in such
securities (i.e., the owner retains the investment and voting power) until a
default has occurred. Even if there is a default under such a pledge agreement,
you ordinarily would not be considered the beneficial owner of the pledged
securities unless the default remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days or
unless before the default is cured you acquire actual voting power to change or
influence control of the issuer.
Where you do not have the power to vote or invest securities, directly or
indirectly, you are not considered the beneficial owner. Thus you are not deemed
the beneficial owner of securities held solely by an estate or trust of which
you are a beneficiary solely by reason of that fact. The same conclusion
applies, absent other facts, to securities held by mutual funds or by pension or
profit-sharing plans in which you have an interest (assuming no right to
terminate participation and receive a distribution in kind within 60 days); to
trusts of which you are settlor but not trustee and as to which you have no
right of revocation exercisable within 60 days; and to other securities in which
you retain some interest other than the power to vote or direct their
disposition.(b) Power to vote or direct investment in securities confers beneficial
ownership whether exercised directly or indirectly.
Many of the examples cited above serve to illustrate this point as well. Thus
you would be considered the beneficial owner of securities held by any
corporation controlled by you, whether directly or through intermediaries, and
of securities held by a partnership of which you are a member. Power to control
or direct the voting of or investment in securities held by another person
(individual or corporate), whether by contract or otherwise, dictates the same
conclusion. And, of course, the reporting requirement cannot be circumvented by
an arrangement nominally or temporarily to divest a person of beneficial
ownership as part of a plan or scheme to evade such reporting requirements.
(c) It is sufficient to confer beneficial ownership if voting or
investment power is shared with others.
This principle can result in a situation where the same shares of stock may be
deemed beneficially owned by a number of persons. Thus, for example, where co-
trustees share voting and/or investment power over securities held in the trust,
each will be deemed the beneficial owner of such securities. Similarly, although
the SEC has not expressly so stated, it appears that where by virtue of a
position as a director or trustee of a business corporation, insurance company,
bank, charitable foundation, pension fund or the like, you share the power to
direct the voting and disposition of securities in that institution's portfolio,
you may be considered the beneficial owner in your own right of all such
securities. Where as an officer or employee you have portfolio management
responsibilities which confer upon you the authority to sell securities held by
an institution, beneficial ownership may also be attributed to you.
