CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

*

For the purpose of calculating the filing fee only in accordance with Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This calculation assumes the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, together with the associated rights to purchase preferred stock (collectively, the "Shares"), of Fargo Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fargo"). The transaction value was calculated by multiplying $7.25, the per Share tender offer price, by 12,469,442, which is the number of currently issued and outstanding Shares plus the maximum number of shares which could be issued prior to the date the tender offer is expected to be consummated upon exercise of stock options granted by Fargo to current and former directors, officers and employees of, and advisors to, Fargo. The amount of the filing fee equals ¹/50 of one percent of the transaction value.
