such draw, (ii) on demand, any amounts advanced by the Bank or the Lender in its sole discretion to cure any event of default under the Bond Documents, and (iii) on demand, interest on all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower to the Bank or the Lender under this Agreement at any time accruing from the date such amounts become payable (in the case of an amount payable on demand, which interest shall accrue from the date the Lender is first entitled to demand payment, regardless of whether a demand for payment is actually made), until payment in full, at an annual rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate, as the same changes from time to time; provided, however, that no interest shall accrue or be payable on any amounts paid by the Bank or the Lender pursuant to a draft submitted under the Letters of Credit if the full amount of such draft is reimbursed by the Borrower to the Bank or the Lender, by 2:00 o'clock p.m. on the same day such draft is paid by the Bank or the Lender. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender is also obligated to reimburse the Bank for any amounts drawn under the Letters of Credit and, accordingly, the Borrower's Obligation of Reimbursement shall inure to the benefit of both the Bank and the Lender. A schedule of the principal payments required under the Series A Bonds is attached hereto as Exhibit A and a schedule of the principal payments required under the Series B Bonds is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

SECTION 4.3. Capital Adequacy/Change in Law. If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable or modify any capital adequacy, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of the Bank or the Lender (including without limitation, a requirement which affects the Bank's or the Lender's allocation of capital resources), or (ii) impose on the Bank or the Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or either of the Letters of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost (including without limitation, reserve or similar cost) to the Bank or the Lender of issuing or maintaining the Letters of Credit or reduce the Bank's or the Lender's return hereunder or all or any of the Bank's or the Lender's capital is reduced (which increase in cost or reduction in return shall be determined by the Bank's or the Lender's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases or return reductions resulting from such events), then upon demand by the Bank or the Lender, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank or the Lender, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by the Bank or the Lender, as the case may be, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Bank or the Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the rate provided for in Section 4.1 hereof. A certificate as to such increased costs incurred by the Bank or the Lender as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, submitted by the Bank or the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

Any such payment by the Lender shall constitute an advance

repayable by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. The Borrower shall be responsible for any costs and/or expenses incurred by the Lender in curing any such default or event of default.

SECTION 4.6. Payments.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON
EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the events, conditions or circumstances described as an "Event of Default" in the Loan Agreement or the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 6.2. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank and/or the Lender may, at its option, exercise any and all of the following rights and remedies (and any other rights and remedies available to it or them):

(a) The Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other rights provided by law, to enforce its rights and remedies under the Borrower Documents and any other documents related hereto.

(b) To instruct the Trustee to accelerate the Bonds and submit a draft under either of the Letters of Credit pursuant to the Indenture.

(c) The Lender may make demand upon the Borrower and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in a special cash collateral account maintained with the Lender (the "Cash Collateral Account") an amount equal to the maximum amount then available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit (assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing thereunder). The Lender hereby acknowledges the Trustee's security interest in any and all funds deposited by the Borrower hereunder and agrees that, so long as either of the Letters of Credit is outstanding, the Lender's interest in such funds shall be subordinate to the interest of the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender shall have sole discretion in administering such funds, including the right to return such funds to the Borrower if the Lender so elects, until the Obligation of Reimbursement and the Letter of Credit Fee then due shall have been paid in full:

(1) If requested by the Borrower and subject to the right of the Lender to withdraw funds from the Cash Collateral Account as provided below and subject to the limitations provided below, the Lender will from time to time invest funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, reinvest proceeds and invest interest or other income received from any such investments, in such Eligible Securities (as hereinafter defined) as the Borrower may select and give notice thereof to the Lender. Such proceeds, interest or income which are not so invested or reinvested in Eligible Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2(c), be deposited and held by the Lender in the Cash Collateral Account. "Eligible Securities" means (A) United States Treasury bills with a remaining maturity not in excess of 90 days, (B) negotiable certificates of deposit of the Lender or of any other bank having combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 with a remaining maturity not in excess of 90 days, and (C) such other instruments as the Borrower may request and the Lender may approve in writing. Eligible Securities from time to time purchased and held pursuant to this subsection (c)(1) shall be referred to as "Collateral Securities" and shall, for purposes of this Agreement, constitute part of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account in amounts equal to their respective outstanding principal amounts.

(2) If at any time the Lender determines that any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any person or entity other than the Lender or

that the total amount of such funds is less than the maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (A) such maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit over (B) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the Cash Collateral Account which the Lender determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

(3) The Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Lender a security interest in all funds held in the Cash Collateral Account (including Collateral Securities) from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due and to become due from the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement.

(4) The Lender may, at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account or invested in Collateral Securities, after selling (upon ten days' notice to the Borrower), if necessary, any Collateral Securities, apply funds then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Lender may elect, as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale of any Collateral Securities shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(5) Neither the Borrower nor any person or entity claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account, except as otherwise provided in subsection (6) below, except that after the expiration of the Letters of Credit in accordance with its terms and the payment of all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall promptly be returned by the Lender to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto.

(6) The Borrower agrees that it will not (A) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Cash Collateral Account or any funds held therein, or (B) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other change or encumbrance upon or with respect to said account or any funds or Collateral Securities held therein except as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

(7) The Lender shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Lender accords its own property, it being understood that the Lender shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such funds.

(8) Any amount deposited in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Mortgage may be utilized in connection with an Optional Tender Drawing under the terms of the Indenture.

(d) The Lender, in its sole discretion, may pay any amount owing under the Bond Documents, including without limitation, principal of, interest and premium on the Bonds or the Lender may cure any other event of default under the Bond Documents;

(e) The Lender may, by written notice to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness declare all indebtedness of every type or description owed by the Borrower to the Lender to be immediately due and payable and the same shall be thereupon be immediately due and payable;

(f) The Lender may offset any deposits of the Borrower held by the Lender (including those held by the Lender in the Cash Collateral Account and any unmatured time deposits) against sums due hereunder or against any other indebtedness then owed by the Borrower to the Lender, whether or not then due.

The Bank and the Lender agree, at the request and expense of the Borrower, to cooperate in the making of any investigation in defense of any such claim and promptly to assert any or all of the rights and privileges and defenses which may be available to them.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and/or any of the other Borrower Documents, and any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement and/or any of the other Borrower Documents or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto should be held to be prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the Borrower Documents, or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto. In the event of any conflict within, between or among the provisions of this Agreement, the other Borrower Documents, or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, those provisions giving the Bank and/or the Lender the greater right shall govern.

SECTION 7.9. Jurisdiction. THE BORROWER HEREBY SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES LOCATED IN SUCH STATE IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.

SECTION 7.10. Interest Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that contracting for or receipt thereof would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to the Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by the Lender.

SECTION 7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 7.12. Not Joint Venturers. The Bank and the Lender are not, and shall not by reason of any provision of any of the Borrower Documents be deemed to be, a joint venturer with or partner or agent of the Borrower.

SECTION 7.13. Obligations Absolute. Subject to Section 7.15 hereof, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, the following circumstances:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letters of Credit, the Bonds, any of the Bond Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively the "Related Documents");

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

(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee, any beneficiary or any transferee of the Letters of Credit (or any person or entity for whom the Issuer, the Trustee, any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), or any 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 the Letters 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; or

(e) payment by the Lender under the Letters of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit.

SECTION 7.14. Transfer of Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit may only be transferred in accordance with the terms thereof.

SECTION 7.15. Liability of the Bank and the Lender. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the Issuer, the Trustee or any beneficiary or transferee of the Letters of Credit with respect to its use of the Letters of Credit. Neither the Bank nor the Lender, nor any of their respective employees, officers or directors, in its or their capacity as issuer of the Letters of Credit shall be liable or responsible for:

(a) the use which may be made of the Letters of Credit or for any acts or omissions of the Issuer, the Trustee or any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

(b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or

(c) payment by the Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letters of Credit;

except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Bank, and the Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages (including reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses) suffered by the Borrower which were caused by:

(1) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Bank or its officers, directors, agents or employees in determining whether documents presented under the Letters of Credit comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit; or

(2) the willful failure or gross negligence of the Bank or its officers, directors, agents or employees to pay under the Letters of Credit after the presentation to it by the Trustee or an approved successor trustee of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letters of Credit.

SECTION 7.16. Security Interest in Funds and Bonds. As additional security for payment of its obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Lender in all securities, assets, deposits in and rights to payment from all funds now or hereafter on deposit in or otherwise a part of any fund created by the Trustee under the Indenture or any and all other accounts created under the Indenture, including Bonds and Bond proceeds held pursuant to the Indenture, and in the proceeds realized from the investment of any such items, and in any and all Bonds and substitutions of such Bonds at any time held by the Trustee; and the Borrower hereby consents to the Lender's appointment of the Trustee as the Lender's agent to perfect the Lender's security interest in

such funds and other assets. The security interest granted hereunder shall be subordinate to the Trustee's right to apply such funds in accordance with the Indenture and subordinate to the rights of holders of the Bonds in and to such funds. All payments on Bonds or funds held by the Trustee as agent for the Lender under this Section 7.16, including (without limitation) any payment of principal or interest or proceeds of sale, shall be paid directly to the Lender. All such payments received by the Lender shall be credited against the Borrower's Obligation of Reimbursement. The Lender shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of an owner of the Bonds held by the Trustee as agent for the Lender with respect to voting, consenting and directing the Trustee as if the Lender were the owner of such Bonds, and the Borrower hereby grants and assigns to the Lender all such rights.

SECTION 7.17. Term. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the later of (i) expiration of the Letters of Credit, or (ii) payment in full of the Obligation of Reimbursement and all other amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Bank and the Lender hereunder or under the documents related hereto.

SECTION 7.18. Redemption of the Bonds under Casualty or Condemnation Laws. To the extent that the Borrower has the right to direct the Issuer to call for redemption of the Bonds under Section 3.1 of the Indenture, the Borrower shall promptly give such direction to the Issuer if (i) the Lender has the right and shall have elected to apply proceeds of insurance or condemnation to redemption of the Bonds pursuant to the Mortgage; and (ii) the Borrower has been instructed in writing by the Lender to give such direction. A copy of any such written direction to the Issuer shall be given by the Borrower to the Lender. If the Borrower shall fail to give such direction to the Issuer within seven (7) calendar days after being instructed to do so by the Lender, the Lender shall have the authority to give such direction to the Issuer on behalf of the Borrower, and if the Borrower fails to deposit with the Trustee the amount required to redeem the Bonds, the Lender may direct the Trustee to submit a draft under the Letters of Credit, in which case the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the same pursuant to Article IV hereof, less the amount of any insurance or condemnation proceeds paid to the Lender pursuant to the Mortgage and available to the Lender for redemption of the Bonds. To facilitate such authority, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Lender or its delegate as the attorney-in-fact to the Borrower with the right to give such direction to the Issuer in the name of and on behalf of the Borrower. If the Lender elects to give such direction to the Issuer, the Lender will give the Borrower a copy of such direction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.
