Lending set forth in Section 4 hereof and as long as no Event of Default has
occurred hereunder, the Lender agrees to make Advances to the Borrower from time
to time from the date of this Credit Agreement through the Termination Date,
provided, however, that the Lender shall not be obligated -to make any Advance,
if after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Advances would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the
limits set forth above, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts
under the Revolving Credit Note.

2.2. Purpose of Loan/Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the
proceeds of any Advance hereunder for the Borrower's general corporate purposes.

the terms of the Revolving Credit Note; including without limitation the
provision of the Revolving Credit Note that the principal amount payable
thereunder at any time shall not exceed the then unpaid principal amount of all
Advances made by the Lender.

2.4. Records of Advances and Proceeds. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the
time each Advance is made by the Lender, an appropriate notation on the Lender's
records of the principal amount of such Advance and the Lender shall make or
cause to be made, on or about the time a payment of any principal or interest of
the Revolving Credit Note is received an appropriate notation of such payment on
its records. The aggregate amount of all unpaid Advances set forth on the
records of the Lender shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal
amount owing and unpaid on the Revolving Credit Note.

2.5. Interest on the Revolving Credit Note.


(a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note from the
date thereof until paid in full at the Eurodollar Rate,
adjusted each Business Day; provided, however, that upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default the Borrower agrees to pay interest on the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note
at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) two
percent (2.00%) in excess of the rate applicable to the
unpaid principal amount immediately before such Event of
Default; or (b) two percent (2.00%) in excess of the
Reference Rate in effect from time to time.



(b) Interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Note through
Maturity shall be payable on the first day of each
calendar month, commencing June 1, 1996 and at Maturity.
Interest accrued after Maturity shall be payable upon
demand.

(c) No provision of this Credit Agreement or the Revolving
Credit Note shall require the payment or permit the
collection of interest in excess of the rate permitted by
applicable law.

(d) All computation of interest on the outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Note shall be computed on
the basis of a year comprised of 360 days, but charged for
the actual number of days elapsed. Each change in the
interest rate payable on the Revolving Credit Note due to
a change in the Eurodollar Interbank Rate shall take place
simultaneously with the corresponding change in such rate.

2.6. Manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Lender written
or telephonic notice of each requested Advance by not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Minneapolis time) on the date such Advance is to be made. Each Advance shall be
deposited to the Borrower's account no. 1-801-2060-0150 with the Lender.

on, the Revolving Credit Note and all fees, expenses and other obligations under

or counterclaim in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m.,
Minneapolis time, on the dates due at the office of the Lender in Minneapolis,
Minnesota indicated on the first page of this Credit Agreement. Funds received
on any day after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next
Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on the Revolving
Credit Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of
time shall be included in the computation of any interest or fees.

time to time against the Borrower's account no. 1-801-2060-0150 with the Lender
any payments when due.

2.8. Termination. The obligation of the Lender to make Advances shall

nature specified in Subsection 8.I c shall have occurred
and be continuing and either (i) the Lender shall have
demanded payment of the Revolving Credit Note or (ii) the
Lender shall so elect to terminate its obligation to make
Advances by giving notice to Borrower.

3. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING EURODOLLAR RATE


3.1. Increased Costs. If, as a result of any law, rule, regulation,
treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any court, central bank,
governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, or comparable agency:


(a) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any of the
loans under this Credit Agreement ("Loans"), the Notes or
the Revolving Credit Commitment is imposed, modified or
deemed applicable, or the basis of taxation of payments to
the Lender of interest or principal of the Loans or of any
fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment
("Commitment Fees") (other than taxes imposed on the
overall net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction in
which the Lender has its principal office) is changed;

(b) any reserve, special deposit, special assessment or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender is
imposed, modified or deemed applicable;

(c) any increase in the amount of capital required or expected
to be maintained by the Lender or any Person controlling
the Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or

(d) any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or the
Revolving Credit Commitment is imposed on the Lender or
the relevant funding markets;

and the Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to the Lender of
making or maintaining the Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment is increased,
or the amount of any sum receivable by the Lender hereunder or under a Note in
respect of any Loan is reduced;

then, the Company shall pay to the Lender upon demand such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate the Lender (or the controlling Person in the instance
of (c) above) for such additional costs or reduction (provided that the Lender
has not been compensated for such additional cost or reduction in the
calculation of the Eurodollar Reserve Rate). Determinations by the Lender for
purposes of this section of the additional amounts required to compensate the
Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such
amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging, attribution and allocation
methods.

3.2. Deposits Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable or
Inadequate: Impracticability. If the Lender determines (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto) that:

(a) deposits of the necessary amount for the relevant Interest
Period for any Advance are not available to the Lender in
the relevant markets or that, by reason of circumstances
affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period;

(b) the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or
funding Advances for a relevant Interest Period; or

(c) the making or funding of Advances to bear interest at the
Eurodollar Rate has become impracticable as a result of
any event occurring after the date of this Credit
Agreement which, in the opinion of the Lender, materially
and adversely affects such Advances or the Lender's
commitment to make such Advances or the relevant market;

the Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Company, and
from and after such notice interest shall accrue on all then-outstanding and
future Advances at one or more alternate rates of interest reasonably determined
by the Lender.

3.3. Changes in Law Rendering Use of Eurodollar Rate Unlawful. If at
any time due to the adoption of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive,
or any change therein or in the-interpretation -or administration thereof by any
court, central bank, governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
for any other reason arising subsequent to the date of this Credit Agreement, it
shall become unlawful or impossible for the Lender to apply the Eurodollar Rate
to obligations of the Company, the obligation of the Lender to apply such rate
shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be suspended for the duration
of such illegality or impossibility and, from and after such time interest shall
accrue on then-outstanding and future Advances at one or more alternate rates of
interest reasonably determined by the Lender.

3.4. Discretion of the Lender as to Manner of Funding.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, the
Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of
the Loans in any manner it elects; it being understood, however, that for
purposes of this Credit Agreement, all determinations hereunder shall be made as
if the Lender had actually funded and maintained each Advance through the
purchase of deposits having a term corresponding to such Interest Period and
bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Interbank Rate for such
Interest period (whether or not the Lender shall have granted any participations
in such Advances).
