▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Due: September

For value received, the undersigned, ACI TELECENTRICS, INCORPORATED, a
Minnesota corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of National City Bank
of Minneapolis, a national banking association (the "Lender") at its main office
in Minneapolis, Minnesota or at any other place designated at any time in
writing by the holder hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America,
the principal sum of Seven Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($763,000.00) on September 30, 2001, the due date, as shown by the Bank's
liability record, together with interest (calculated on the basis of actual days
elapsed in a 360-day year) on the unpaid principal hereof, from the date hereof
until this Note is fully paid at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest
established by and publicly announced from time to time by Lender as its Base
Rate, with the understanding that Lender may lend to its customers at rates that
are above or below the Base Rate. Each change in the interest rate hereon shall
become effective on the day the corresponding change in the Base Rate becomes
effective if interest is calculated on the Base Rate. The Loan Agreement
contains provisions for increases in the interest rate payable hereunder upon
the happening of certain events set forth in the Loan Agreement. Provided,
however, that if the principal amount of this Note shall be less than $100,000
on the due date, this Note shall bear the same interest rate after it becomes
due as was in effect on such due date. As used herein, "due date" means the
maturity date hereof (whether it be the stated maturity date or such earlier
date by reason of acceleration) or, if this Note is payable upon demand, the
date of demand.
Interest shall be payable monthly, on the 1st day of each month
commencing April, 2001 and on the 1st day of each succeeding month thereafter
until September 30, 2001, at which time the outstanding principal balance of
this Note, shall be due and payable in full. This Note is secured by a security
interest in all accounts receivable, work in process, furniture, fixtures and
equipment, general intangibles, and other property of the Borrower all as
described in the Security Agreement between the Borrower and Lender dated
January 30, 1998, as amended from time to time.
If interest hereon is not paid when due, or if any other indebtedness of
the undersigned to Lender is not paid when due, or if the undersigned is in
default under any other agreement between the undersigned and Lender, or if a
garnishment summons or a writ of attachment is issued against or served upon
Lender for the attachment of any property of the undersigned in Lender's
possession or any indebtedness owing to the undersigned, or if the undersigned
shall submit to Lender any credit application or financial statement containing
information which shall prove to be incorrect in any respect when made, or if
the undersigned shall fail to pay when due any indebtedness the undersigned may
owe for money borrowed, of if the holder shall at any time in good faith believe
that the prospect of due and punctual payment of the Note is materially
impaired, then, in any such event, the holder hereof may, at its option, declare
this Note to be immediately due and payable, together with all unpaid interest
accrued hereon, without notice or demand; provided, however, that if this Note
is payable upon
demand, nothing herein contained shall preclude or limit the holder hereof from
demanding payment of this Note at any time and for any reason, without notice.
This Note is the Term Note referred to in that certain Third Amendment to
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement between Lender and the
Borrower dated of even date herewith ("Loan Agreement") and has been executed by
the Borrower and delivered and issued by Lender in accordance with the Loan
Agreement and Lender is entitled to all the benefits, rights and privileges
contained in the Loan Agreement.
This Note shall also become automatically due and payable (including
unpaid interest accrued hereon) without notice or demand should a petition be
filed by or against the undersigned under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or
if a trustee, receiver or similar officer is appointed for the undersigned or
for the undersigned's property. If this Note is not paid on the due date, the
bank shall have the right to set off the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
against any indebtedness of the Bank to the undersigned. The holder hereof may
at any time renew this Note or extend its maturity date for any period and
release any security for, or any part to, this Note, all without notice to or
consent of and without releasing any accommodation maker, endorser or guarantor.
The undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys' fees
and legal expenses, in the event this Note is not paid when due whether suit is
commenced or not, including costs and expenses in litigation, bankruptcy, or
insolvency proceedings. Presentment or other demand for payment, notice of
dishonor and protest are hereby waived by the undersigned. This Note shall be
governed by the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota, except insofar as
the Bank may rely on the laws of the United States to justify the interest rate
charged hereunder. The undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of the Minnesota District Court, Fourth Division, and the Federal
District Court, District of Minnesota, Fourth Division, over any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note and agrees that all claims in
respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such
court.
