or legal entity (including guarantors, endorsers, and sureties) who agrees to
pay this note (together referred to as "us"). "You" or "your" means the Lender
and its successors and assigns.
APPLICABLE LAW: Minnesota law controls this note. Any term of this note which
violates Minnesota law is not effective, unless the law permits you and me to
agree to a variation.
If any provision of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest of the
agreement remains in force. 1 may not change this agreement without your express
written consent Time is of the essence in this agreement.
COMMISSIONS OR OTHER REMUNERATION: I understand and agree that any insurance
premiums paid to insurance companies as part of this note will involve money
retained by you or paid back to you as commissions or other remuneration.
In addition, I understand and agree that some other payments to third
parties as part of this note may also involve money retained by you or paid back
to you as commissions or other remuneration.
PAYMENTS: You will apply each payment I make on this note first to any amount I
owe you for charges which are neither interest nor principal. You will apply the
rest of each payment to any unpaid interest, and then to the unpaid principal.
If you and I agree to a different application of payments, we will describe our
agreement on this note.
I may prepay all or part of this loan without penalty unless we agree to
something different on this note. Any partial prepayment I make will not excuse
or reduce any later scheduled payment until this note is paid in full (unless,
when I make the prepayment, you and I agree in writing to the contrary.
INTEREST: Interest accrues on die principal remaining unpaid from time to time,
until paid in full. If you give me my loan money in more than one advance, each
advance will start to earn interest only when I receive it.
The interest rate in effect on this note at any time will apply to all the
money you advance at that time. Regardless of anything in this document that
might imply otherwise, I will not pay and you will not charge a rate of interest
that is higher than the maximum rate of interest you could charge under
applicable law for the credit you give me (before or after maturity).
If you send any erroneous notice of interest, we mutually agree to correct
it. If you collect more interest than the law and this agreement allow, you
agree to refund it to me.
INDEX RATE: The index will serve only as a device for setting the rate on this
note. You do not guarantee by selecting this Index, or the margin, that the rate
on this note will be the same rate you charge on any other loans or class of
loans to me or other borrowers.
ACCRUAL METHOD: You will calculate the amount of interest I will pay on this
loan using the interest rate and accrual method on page 1 of this note. When
calculating interest, you will use the accrual method to determine the number of
days in a "year." If you do not state an accrual method, you may use any
reasonable accrual method to calculate interest.
POST MATURITY RATE: In deciding when the "Post Maturity Rate" (on page 1)
applies, "maturity" means: 1.) The date of the last scheduled payment indicated
on page 1 of this note, or; 2.) The date you accelerate payment on the note,
whichever is earlier.
SINGLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a single advance loan, you and I expect that
you will make only one advance of principal. However, you may add other amounts
to the principal if you make any payments described in the "PAYMENTS BY LENDER"
paragraph below.
MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a multiple advance loan, you and I expect
that you will make more than one advance of principal. If this is closed-end
credit, I am not entitled to additional credit if I repay a part of the
principal.
PAYMENTS BY LENDER: If you are authorized to pay, on my behalf, charges 1 am
obligated to pay (such as property insurance premiums), then you may treat those
payments made by you as advances and add them to the unpaid principal under this
note. Or, you may demand immediate payment of the charges.

right I have to receive money from you.

(1) any deposit account balance I have with you;
(2) any money owed to me on an item presented to you or in your
possession for collection or exchange; and
(3) any repurchase agreement or other nondeposit obligation.
"Any amount due and payable under this note" means the total amount of
which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of this note at the
time you set off. This total includes any balance the due date for which you
properly accelerate under this note.
If someone who has not agreed to pay this note also owns my right to
receive money from you your set-off right will apply to my interest in the
obligation, and to any other amounts I could withdraw on my sole request or
endorsement.
Your set-off right does not apply to an account or other obligation where
my rights are only as a representative. It also does not apply to any Individual
Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account.

occurs because you set off this debt against one of my accounts. I will assume
tile liability and relieve you of all responsibility for any such claim that
occurs if you set off this debt against one of my accounts.
REAL ESTATE OR RESIDENCE SECURITY: If I am giving you any real estate or a
residence that is personal property, as security for this note, I have signed a
separate security agreement. Default and your remedies for default are
determined by applicable law and by the security agreement. Default and your
remedies may also be determined by the "Default" and "Remedies" paragraphs

with you;
(4) any other creditors of mine try to collect any debt I owe them

that is untrue or inaccurate when it was provided;

excessive erosion of highly erodible land, or to the conversion of
wetlands to produce an agricultural commodity, as explained in 7

other remedy;
(4) You may refuse to make advances to me or allow me to make credit
purchases;
(5) You may use any remedy you have under state or federal law.
If you choose one of these remedies, you do not give up your right to use
any other remedy later. By waiving your right to declare an event to be a
default, you do not waive your right to later consider the event as a default if
it continues or happens again.
COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES: I will pay all costs of collection,
replevin (an action for the recovery of property wrongfully taken or detained),
or any other or similar type of cost if I am in default.

permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I will also pay the reasonable
attorney's fees and costs you are charged to collect this debt as awarded by any
court under the Bankruptcy Code's jurisdiction.
WAIVER: I give up my rights to require you to:
(1) demand payment of amounts due (presentment);
(2) obtain official certification of nonpayment (protest);
(3) give notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of
dishonor).
I waive any defenses I have based on suretyship or impairment of
collateral.
OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT: I must pay this note even if someone else has also
agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form or a separate guarantee or
endorsement).
You may xxx me alone, anyone else obligated on this note or any number of
us together, to collect this note. You may do so without any notice that it has
not been paid (notice of dishonor).

releasing any other party.
If you give up any of your rights, with or without notice, it will not
affect my duty to pay this note.

less than all of us, will not release me from my duty to pay it. (Of course, you
are entitled to only one payment in full.) You may extend this note or the debt
represented by this note, or any-portion of the note or debt, from time to time
without limit or notice. You may do this without affecting my liability for
payment of the note.
I will not assign my obligation under this agreement without your prior
written approval.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION: I will provide you, at your request, accurate, correct
and complete financial statements or information you need.
NOTICE: Unless otherwise required by law, you will give any notice to me by
delivering it or mailing it by first class mail to my last known address. My
