The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender, as co-applicant, will be liable to the Issuer for reimbursement of any and all draws under Letters of Credit and for all other amounts required to be paid under the applicable L/C Application. Accordingly, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender any and all amounts required to be paid under the applicable L/C Application, when and as required to be paid thereby, and the amounts designated below, when and as designated:

(a)                                  The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on the day a draft is honored under any Letter of Credit a sum equal to all amounts drawn under such Letter of Credit plus any and all reasonable charges and expenses that the Issuer or the Lender may pay or incur relative to such draw and the applicable L/C Application, plus interest on all such amounts, charges and expenses as set forth below (the Borrower’s obligation to pay all such amounts is herein referred to as the “Obligation of Reimbursement”).

(b)                                 Whenever a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Lender to make a Revolving Advance in the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement and to apply the proceeds of such Revolving Advance thereto. Such Revolving Advance shall be repayable in accordance with and be treated in all other respects as a Revolving Advance hereunder.

(c)                                  If a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit when the Borrower is unable, because a Default Period exists or for any other reason, to obtain a Revolving Advance to pay the Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand and in immediately available funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date of the draft until payment in full at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s inability to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole discretion, to

16

make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

(d)                                 The Borrower’s obligation to pay any Revolving Advance made under this Section 2.6, shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note and shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.10.

Section 2.7                                   Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations arising under Section 2.6 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6, under all circumstances whatsoever, including (without limitation) the following circumstances:

(a)                                  any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (collectively the “Related Documents”);

(b)                                 any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Related Documents;

(c)                                  the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time, against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), or other person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or in the Related Documents or any unrelated transactions;

(d)                                 any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(e)                                  payment by or on behalf of the Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(f)                                    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.8                                   Term Advances.

(a)                                  The Borrower acknowledges that Lender previously made a single advance to the Borrower on each of January 31, 2002 and February 2, 2007 (the “Term Advances”), the first in the amount of $2,500,000.00 and the second in the amount of $1,668,194.51.  The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Term Advances is evidenced by the Real Estate Term Note and is secured by the Collateral as provided in Article III and as described in any Security Documents, including but not limited to the Mortgages.  The

17

Borrower acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Real Estate Term Note is $ 2,772,020.73.

Section 2.9                                   Payments and Interest on Term Notes. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall continue to accrue interest and be due and payable as specifically set forth in the Term Notes and on the Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Notes, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall in any event be due and payable.  At the option of the Lender, it may on any date that principal and interest is due on the Notes automatically deduct the amount of such payments, or cause the same to be automatically deducted, from the Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with the Lender its Affiliates.

(a)                                  If the Lender at any time obtains an appraisal of any the real property subject to the Mortgages as permitted under Section 6.10(d) herein, and the appraisal shows the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Real Estate Term Note to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the “as is” market value as vacant of such facilities, then the Borrower, upon demand by the Lender, shall immediately prepay the Real Estate Term Note in the amount of such excess, together with any applicable prepayment fee.

Section 2.10                            Interest; Default Interest; Participations; Usury.

(a)                                  Revolving Note and Real Estate Term Note Interest Rates.  Except as provided in Subsections 2.10 (b) and (d) below, the principal amount of each Advance evidenced by the Revolving Note and the Real Estate Term Note shall bear interest at the Floating Rate.

(b)                                 Default Interest Rate. At any time during any Default Period, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, the principal of the Advances outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Default Rate, effective for any periods designated by the Lender from time to time during that Default Period.

(c)                                  Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Advances under this Agreement, the Borrower shall be obligated to the Lender to pay the full amount of all interest calculated under this Section, along with all other fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement, regardless if such Person elects to accept interest with respect to its participation at a lower rate than the Floating Rate, or otherwise elects to accept less than its prorata share of such fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement.

(d)                                 Usury. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law.

Section 2.11                            Fees.

(a)                                  Letter of Credit Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit equal to four and one-half of one percent (4.50%) per

18

annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of each drawing under any Letter of Credit and fees upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity.

(b)                                 Audit Fees. The Borrower shall pay the Lender, on demand, audit fees in connection with any audits or inspections conducted by the Lender of any Collateral or the Borrower’s operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender as its audit fees (which fees are $125 per hour per auditor), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such audit or inspection.

(c)                                  Termination and Line Reduction Fees.  If the Credit Facility is terminated (i) by the Lender during a Default Period that begins before a Maturity Date, (ii) by the Borrower (A) as of a date other than a Maturity Date or (B) as of a Maturity Date but without the Lender having received written notice of such termination at least 90 days before such Maturity Date, or if the Borrower reduces the Maximum Line, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Maximum Line (or the reduction of the Maximum Line, as the case may be).

(d)                                 Waiver of Termination Fees.  The Borrower will not be required to pay the termination fees otherwise due under subsection (d) if such termination is made because of refinancing by an affiliate of the Lender.

(e)                                  Unused Line Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused line fee at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily Unused Amount from the date of this Agreement to and including the Termination Date, due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the month and on the Termination Date.  For the purposes of this Section 2.11(e), “Unused Amount” means the Maximum Line reduced by the sum of (1) outstanding Revolving Advances and (2) the L/C Amount.

(f)                                    Other Fees. The Lender may from time to time, upon five (5) days prior notice to the Borrower during a Default Period, charge additional fees for Revolving Advances made in excess of the Borrowing Base, for late delivery of reports, in lieu of imposing interest at the Default Rate, and for other reasons. The Borrower’s request for a Revolving Advance at any time after such notice is given and such five (5) day period has elapsed shall constitute the Borrower’s agreement to pay the fees described in such notice.

Section 2.12                            Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Banking Days; Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)                                  Time For Interest Payments. Interest accruing on Advances shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Termination Date.

19

(b)                                 Payment on Non-Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.

(c)                                  Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

Section 2.13                            Voluntary Prepayment; Reduction of the Maximum Line; Termination of the Credit Facility by the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Line at any time if it (i) gives the Lender at least 30 days’ prior written notice and (ii) pays the Lender termination or Maximum Line reduction fees in accordance with Section 2.11(c).  Any reduction in the Maximum Line must be in an amount of not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof. If the Borrower reduces the Maximum Line to zero, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. Subject to termination of the Credit Facility and payment and performance of all Obligations, the Lender shall, at the Borrower’s expense, release or terminate the Security Interest and the Security Documents to which the Borrower is entitled by law.

Section 2.14                            Mandatory Prepayment. Without notice or demand, if the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall (i) first, immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if prepayment in full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess, pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the remaining excess. Any payment received by the Lender under this Section 2.14 or under Section 2.13 may be applied to the Obligations, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender, in its discretion, may from time to time determine.

Section 2.15                            Revolving Advances to Pay Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations from time to time due and payable.

Section 2.16                            Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances and each Letter of Credit for ordinary working capital purposes.

Section 2.17                            Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, records as to the Obligations. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrower establishes the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrower will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Obligations that the Borrower then

20

asserts to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrower unless the Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.

Section 2.18                            Collateral Account and Sweep of Funds.

(a)                                  Implementation of Collateral Account.  At the request of Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver documentation necessary to establish a bank account to be operated and maintained in Borrower’s name exclusively for the benefit of the Lender (the “Collateral Account”).  The Borrower understands that it shall have no right to make or countermand withdrawals from the Collateral Account.  Amounts in the Collateral Account shall not bear interest and Borrower shall take all necessary steps to grant the Lender a first perfected security interest in all of the funds on deposit in the Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, to secure the Obligations.

(b)                                 Use of Collateral Account.  Upon the creation of the Collateral Account at Lender’s request, all amounts collected through the Borrower’s lockbox arrangement shall be deposited into the Collateral Account.  In addition, any funds received directly by the Borrower, whether as payments on Accounts, or otherwise, shall be deposited into the Collateral Account.  All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations.  All items deposited in the Collateral Account shall be subject to final payment.  If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrower will immediately pay the Lender, or for items deposited in the Collateral Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or such bank may charge any uncollected item to the Borrower’s commercial or other account.  The Borrower shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collateral Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by the Borrower.

(c)                                  Sweep of Funds.  The Lender shall from time to time, in accordance with an agreement between the parties, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Obligations.  Amounts deposited in the Collateral Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, except after payment in full and discharge of all of the Obligations.

ARTICLE III.
SECURITY INTEREST; OCCUPANCY; SETOFF

Section 3.1                                   Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender a lien and security interest (collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon request by the Lender, the Borrower will grant the Lender a security interest in all commercial tort claims it may have against any Person.

Section 3.2                                   Notification of Account Debtors and Other Obligors. The Lender may at any time (whether or not a Default Period then exists) notify any account debtor or other

21

person obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. The Borrower will join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time after the Borrower or the Lender gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender’s name or in the Borrower’s name, (a) demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor; and (b) as the Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to any address designated by the Lender, otherwise intercept the Borrower’s mail, and receive, open and dispose of the Borrower’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for the Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to the Borrower’s last known address.

Section 3.3                                   Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Borrower with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to the Lender. At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in the Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

Section 3.4                                   Occupancy.  In addition to and without limiting the Lender’s rights under the Mortgages, the Borrower agrees to and grants each of the following rights to the Lender.

(a)                                  The Borrower hereby irrevocably grants to the Lender the right to take exclusive possession of the Premises at any time during a Default Period.

(b)                                 The Lender may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store, liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes that the Lender may in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to be related or incidental purposes.

(c)                                  The Lender’s right to hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) payment in full and discharge of all Obligations and termination of the Credit Facility, and (ii) final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such goods to purchasers.

(d)                                 The Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided,

22

however, that if the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender promptly for the full amount thereof. In addition, the Borrower will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5                                   License. Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights of the Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by the Borrower for its own manufacturing and subject to the Borrower’s reasonable exercise of quality control; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period.

Section 3.6                                   Financing Statement. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from time to time where permitted by law, such financing statements against collateral described as “all personal property” as the Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statements signed by the Borrower is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any state to perfect the security interests granted hereby. For this purpose, the following information is set forth:

Section 3.7                                   Setoff. The Lender may at any time or from time to time, at its sole discretion and without demand and without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to the Borrower by the Lender, whether or not due, against any Obligation, whether or not due. In addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Obligations shall have the right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to the Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the payment of said participating interest, as fully as if such Person had lent directly to the Borrower the amount of such participating interest.

23

Section 3.8                                   Collateral. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrower is entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically keeping such Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person, and the Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application. The Lender has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Lender to pursue any third person for any of the Obligations.

26

Section 5.2                                   Capitalization.

ARTICLE VIII.
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Compliance with Laws. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or

45

remedy under the Loan Documents. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

Section 8.2                                   Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom or any release of a Security Interest shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 8.3                                   Addresses for Notices; Requests for Accounting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by overnight courier of national reputation, or (d) transmitted by telecopy, in each case addressed or telecopied to the party to whom notice is being given at its address or telecopier number as set forth below next to its signature or, as to each party, at such other address or telecopier number as may hereafter be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section. All such notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be deemed to have been given on (a) the date received if personally delivered, (b) when deposited in the mail if delivered by mail, (c) the date sent if sent by overnight courier, or (d) the date of transmission if delivered by telecopy, except that notices or requests to the Lender pursuant to any of the provisions of Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. All requests under Section 9-210 of the UCC (i) shall be made in a writing signed by a person authorized under Section 2.2(b), (ii) shall be personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier of national reputation (iii) shall be deemed to be sent when received by the Lender and (iv) shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9-210. The Borrower requests that the Lender respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come from an authorized individual and releases the Lender from any liability for so responding. The Borrower shall pay Lender the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such requests.

Section 8.4                                   Arbitration.

(a)                                  Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

46

(b)                                 Governing Rules.  Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Minnesota selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”).  If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control.  Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c)                                  No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure.  The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding.  This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d)                                 Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers.  Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00.  Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations.  The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Minnesota or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of the State of Minnesota, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated.  The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim.  In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.  The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Minnesota and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within

47

the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award.  The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e)                                  Discovery.  In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules.  All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f)                                    Class Proceedings and Consolidations.  The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

(g)                                 Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees.  The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h)                                 Miscellaneous.  To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA.  No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.  If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

Section 8.5                                   Further Documents. The Borrower will from time to time execute and deliver or endorse any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, control agreements and other agreements and writings that the Lender may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that the Borrower executes, delivers or endorses any such item shall not affect or impair the validity,

48

sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion).

Section 8.6                                   Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Obligations and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.

Section 8.7                                   Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.6, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):

(i)            any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the making of the Advances;

(ii)           any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.14 proves to be incorrect in any respect or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 6.12(b); and

(iii)          any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrower, or counsel designated by the Borrower and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrower’s sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend

49

and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrower’s obligation under this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

Section 8.8                                   Participants. The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender’s participants, successors or assigns.

Section 8.9                                   Execution in Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement and other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

Section 8.10                            Retention of Borrower’s Records. The Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings, or other papers delivered to the Lender by the Borrower or in connection with the Loan Documents for more than four months after receipt by the Lender.

Section 8.11                            Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Exchanging Information. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which the Borrower could assert against the Lender. This Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower. This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the Lender’s right to share information regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates with the Lender’s participants, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo & Company, and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo & Company, may exchange any and all information they may have in their possession regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Borrower waives any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to such exchange of such information.

Section 8.12                            Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

50

Section 8.13                            Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 8.14                            Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement.  This Agreement completely amends, restates and replaces the Existing Credit Agreement, which is no longer of any force or effect.

Section 8.15                            Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of Minnesota. The parties hereto hereby (i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Minnesota in connection with any controversy related to compelling arbitration, enforcing an arbitration award related to this Agreement; or the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights under Subsection 8.4(c), above; (ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient, (iii) agree that any litigation initiated by the Lender or the Borrower in connection with and permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be venued in either the State or Federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota; (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent or prohibit the Lender from bringing any action or seeking jurisdiction against the Borrower in any other court or venue as may be required by applicable law.
