checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts held jointly

of a security interest would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all Indebtedness
against any and all such accounts.
OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR. Grantor warrants and covenants to Lender as follows:
Perfection of Security Interest. Grantor agrees to execute such financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Lender to
perfect and continue Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Lender, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note
Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered to Lender
for possession by Lender. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its irrevocable
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to
perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement.
Lender may at any time, and without further authorization from Grantor,
file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of any financing
statement or of this Agreement for use as a financing statement. Grantor
will reimburse Lender for all expenses for the perfection and the
continuation of the perfection of Lender's security interest in the
Collateral. Grantor promptly will notify Lender before any change in
Grantor's name including any change to the assumed business names of
Grantor. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue to
effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and
even though for a period of time Grantor may not be indebted to Lender.
No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate
any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party, and
its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prohibit any
term or condition of this Agreement.
Enforceability of Collateral. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the Collateral is
enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with
applicable laws concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have
authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear
to be on the Collateral. At the time any account becomes subject to a
security interest in favor of Lender, the account shall be a good and valid
account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the
account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery instructions or
theretofore shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for
services theretofore performed by Grantor with or for the account debtor;
there shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any such account; and no
agreement under which any deductions or discounts may be claimed shall have
been made with the account debtor except those disclosed to Lender in
writing.
Location of the Collateral. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver
to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and
Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
limitation the following: (a) all real property owned or being purchased by
Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or leased by Grantor; (c) all
storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or being used by Grantor; and (d)
all other properties where Collateral is or may be located. Except in the
ordinary course of its business, Grantor shall not remove the Collateral
from its existing locations without the prior written consent of Lender.
Removal of Collateral. Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the extent
the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts, the
records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above, or at
such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except in the ordinary
course of its business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not
remove the Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written
consent of Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles,
or other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles
outside the State of Minnesota, without the prior written consent of
Lender.
Transactions Involving Collateral. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not
sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.
While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell
inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to
buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in
the ordinary course of Grantor's business does not include a transfer in
partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not
pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject
to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right
to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by
Lender, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever
reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with
any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute
consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor
shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.

================================================================================
Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good and
marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement
covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than
those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to
which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Lender's
rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other
persons.
Collateral Schedules and Locations. As often as Lender shall require, and
insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts and general intangibles,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender schedules of such Collateral, including
such information as Lender may require, including without limitation names
and addresses of account debtors and agings of accounts and general
intangibles. Insofar as the Collateral consists of inventory and equipment,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall require, such
lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral as Lender may
require to identify the nature, extent, and location of such Collateral.
Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and each of its
subsidiaries or related companies.
Maintenance and Inspection of Collateral. Grantor shall maintain all
tangible Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit
or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the
Collateral. Lender and its designated representatives and agents shall have
the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the
Collateral wherever located. Grantor shall immediately notify Lender of all
cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss or damage of or
to any Collateral; of any request for credit or adjustment or of any other
dispute arising with respect to the Collateral; and generally of all
happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or the amount
of the Collateral.
Taxes, Assessments and Liens. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this
Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness,
or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and
so long as Lender's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in
Lender's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is
not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender
cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to
Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus
any interest, costs, attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as
a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor
shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment
before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name Lender as an
additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings.
Compliance With Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in
good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance
during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Lender's
interest in the Collateral, in Lender's opinion, is not jeopardized.
Hazardous Substances. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
on the Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture, storage,
transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any
hazardous waste or substance, as those terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("▇▇▇▇"),
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901,
et seq., or other applicable state or Federal laws, rules, or regulations
adopted pursuant to any of the foregoing. The terms "hazardous waste" and
"hazardous substance" shall also include, without limitation, petroleum and
petroleum by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos. The
representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due
diligence in investigating the Collateral for hazardous wastes and
substances. Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims
against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes
liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses
resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This
obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and
the satisfaction of this Agreement.
Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including and without limitation fire, theft and liability
coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with
respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably
acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to
Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form
satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior written
notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's
liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also
shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender
will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor
or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in
which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide
Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.
If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as
required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to)
obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so
chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender's
interest in the Collateral.
Application of Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if
Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral,
Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse
Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration.
If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral,
Lender
03-19-1999 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 4
Loan No 90241446 (Continued)
================================================================================
shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the
Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have
not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which
Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral
shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
Insurance Reserves. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created
by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be
sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due
date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If
fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The
reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment
of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to lender
reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as
Lender may reasonably request include the following: (a) the name of the
insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the
property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis of which
insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and
(f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon
request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an
independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the
cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation
all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any
time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be
obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the
Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes
will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such
expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will
(a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be
due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment
of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
Default on Indebtedness. Failure of Grantor to make any payment when due on
the Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in
any of the Related Documents or in any other agreement between Lender and
Grantor.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor under this Agreement, the
Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect, either now or at the time made or furnished.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
documents to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any
time and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor or Grantor or by any
governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing
the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's deposit
accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
reasonableness of the claim which is
03-19-1999 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT Page 5
Loan No 90241446 (Continued)
================================================================================
the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives
Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits
with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required
to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations
arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in
doing so, cure the Event of Default.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Grantor has not been given a prior notice of a breach of the
same provision of this Agreement, it may be cured (and no Event of Default
will have occurred) if Grantor, after Lender sends written notice demanding
cure of such default, (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or
(b), if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without
limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness,
including any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay,
immediately due and payable, without notice.
Assemble Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or
any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and
other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be
designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the
property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the
Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time
of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided
that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after
repossession.
Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer,
or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name
or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or
private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value
or is a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give
Grantor reasonable notice of the time after which any private sale or any
other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The
requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at
least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. All
expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without
limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale
and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured
by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note
rate from date of expenditure until repaid.
Appoint Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall
have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a
receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right,
(b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond,
and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part
of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on
demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until
repaid.
Collect Revenues, Apply Accounts. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any
Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the
payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in
such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral
consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments,
chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for, foreclose, or
realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not
Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on
behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail
addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to
be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of
title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of
any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors
and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender.
Obtain Deficiency. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may option a judgment against Grantor for any deficiency remaining
on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received
from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Grantor shall
be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this
subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper.

================================================================================
Other Rights and Remedies. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of
a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as
may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may
exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law,
in equity, or otherwise.
Cumulative Remedies. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced
by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other writing, shall
be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to
perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to
exercise its remedies.

the notice is to be given at the address shown above. Any party may change
its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is
to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
if there is more than one Grantor, notice to any Grantor will constitute
notice to all Grantors. For notice purposes, Grantor will keep Lender
informed at all times of Grantor's current address(es).
Power of Attorney. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full power of substitution to do the
following: (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, ▇▇▇ and recover
all sums of money or other property which may now or hereafter become due,
owing or payable from the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any
and all claims, instruments, receipts, checks, drafts or warrants issued in
payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims
arising under the Collateral, and, in the place and stead of Grantor, to
execute and deliver its release and settlement for the claim; and (d) to
file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in
any proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or
otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or
advisable. This power is given as security for the Indebtedness, and the
authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in
full force and effect until renounced by Lender.
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability of validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Successor Interests. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer
of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of
a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of
any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's

obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in
any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may
be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
