  to such Portion. In addition, with respect to any Portion of the Loan
  accruing interest pursuant to a fixed rate option, the Borrower may, subject
  to Subsections 4(A)(2), 4(A)(3) and 4(A)(4), on the last
  day of the Interest Period for such Portion, elect to fix the interest rate
  accruing on such Portion for another Interest Period pursuant to one of the

  Day prior to the expiration of the Interest Period for any Portion of the
  Loan accruing interest pursuant to a fixed rate option, and upon payment of
  the applicable Surcharge (as defined in, and calculated pursuant to, Section
  5 hereof) to convert all, but not part, of such Portion of the Loan so
  that it accrues interest at the Variable Rate or a combination of the
  Variable Rate and a fixed rate option, for a new Interest Period or Interest
  Periods selected in accordance with Subsections 4(A)(2), 4(A)(3)
  and 4(A)(4) of this First Supplement. Except for the initial
  selection, all interest rate selections provided for herein shall be made by
  telephonic or written request of an authorized employee of the Borrower by
  12:00 noon, Central time, on the relevant day. In taking actions upon
  telephonic requests, CoBank shall be entitled to rely on (and shall incur no
  liability to the Borrower in acting upon) any request made by a person
  identifying himself or herself as one of the persons authorized by the
  Borrower to request the Loan or select interest rates hereunder so long as
  any funds advanced are wired to an account previously designated by the
  Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
  rates may not be fixed in such a manner as to cause the Borrower to have to
  break any fixed rate balance in order to pay any installment of principal.

  and assigns) to, maintain in full force and effect, (i) Interest Rate
  Agreements (as defined in Section 3 of the MLA) in form and substance
  reasonably satisfactory to CoBank on Portions of the Loans under this First
  Supplement, and (ii) Portions of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to the
  Quoted Rate option, the effect of which shall be to fix interest rates
  payable by the Borrower or Hutchinson (or its successors and assigns) in the
  aggregate as to $20,000,000, the term of which Interest Rate Agreements or
  Interest Periods under the Quoted Rate option shall have a weighted average
  life of 3 years (determined using the initial term of such Interest Rate
  Agreements and Interest Periods under the Quoted Rate option). The Borrower
  will deliver to CoBank, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of such
  Interest Rate Agreements (and any supplements or amendments thereto), and
  promptly upon request therefor, any other information reasonably requested by
  CoBank to evidence its compliance with the provisions of this Subsection
  4(A)(7).

(B) Margins. Initially, and continuing
through the day immediately preceding the first Adjustment Date (as hereinafter
defined in this Subsection 4(B)) occurring on or after March 31, 2008 on
which the Borrower demonstrates that a change in the LIBOR Margin is warranted
and requests such change, the applicable LIBOR Margin shall be 2.50%.
Commencing on such Adjustment Date, the LIBOR Margin shall be determined based
on the consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the Borrower, determined in
accordance with Subsection 8(I)(1) of the MLA, on the last day of each fiscal
quarter of the Borrower, as set forth in the following table:

|                                                               |              |  |  |

The LIBOR
Margin shall be (i) increased, if warranted, beginning on the date which is the
fifth Business Day following CoBanks receipt of the financial statements
required pursuant to

First Supplement to the Master Loan Agreement/New Ulm
Telecom, Inc.
Loan No. RX0583-T1

Subsections
8(H)(1) and 8(H)(2) of the MLA, and the compliance certificate required
pursuant to Subsection 8(H)(9) of the MLA and (ii) decreased, if warranted, beginning
on the date which is the fifth Business Day following CoBanks receipt of such
financial statements and compliance certificate and the Borrowers written
request to decrease such margin (each such date described in (i) and (ii), an Adjustment Date). In the
event that
CoBank shall not receive when due such financial statements and compliance
certificate, then from such due date and until the fifth Business Day following
CoBanks receipt of such overdue financial statements and compliance certificate
(and in the event a decrease in the applicable margin is then warranted,
receipt of the Borrowers written request to decrease such margin), or upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of CoBank the LIBOR
Margin shall be 2.50%.

(C) Payment and Calculation. The Borrower
shall pay interest on the Loan monthly in arrears on the 20th day (or such
other day as CoBank shall elect in writing) of each month, upon any prepayment
of a fixed rate Portion (whether due to acceleration or otherwise) and on the
Maturity Date; provided, however, at the election of CoBank with
respect to the Portions accruing interest under the LIBOR option, rather than
on a monthly basis interest shall be payable at the maturity of an Interest
Period, or, if such Interest Period exceeds three months, in arrears on each
three-month anniversary of the beginning date of such Interest Period and at
the maturity of such Portion and upon any prepayment (whether due to
acceleration or otherwise). Interest shall be calculated on the actual number
of days the Loan, or any part thereof, is outstanding on the basis of a year
consisting of 360 days. In calculating accrued interest, the date the Loan is
made shall be included and the date any principal amount of the Loan is repaid
or prepaid shall be excluded as to such amount. If any date for the payment of
interest is not a Business Day, then the interest payment then due shall be
paid on the next Business Day.

SECTION 5. Repayment, Prepayment and Surcharge.
The Borrower may, (i) on any Business Day, prepay in full or in part any
Portion of the Loan accruing interest at the Variable Rate option, and (ii) on
three Business Days prior, irrevocable written notice, prepay in full or in
part any Portion of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to a fixed rate option.
All voluntary prepayments pursuant to this Section 5 shall be applied to
scheduled principal installments under Subsection 6(A) of this First Supplement
in the inverse order of their maturities and to such Portions of the Loan as
the Borrower specifies in writing, or in the absence of such direction, as
CoBank specifies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers right to prepay
any amount accruing interest pursuant to a fixed rate option shall be conditioned
upon the payment of a prepayment Surcharge as defined and calculated below. For
purposes of calculating the Surcharge provided for in this Section 5,
early conversion of a Portion of the Loan accruing interest pursuant to a fixed
rate option so that it accrues interest at a different rate pursuant to Subsection
4(A)(5) shall be deemed a prepayment in full of that Portion of the Loan.
Upon any such early conversion, any repayment required hereunder or under the
MLA, any prepayment of

6

Loan No. RX0583-T1

any Portion of
the Loan accruing interest pursuant to a fixed rate option, and as a condition
to any voluntary prepayment (whether such conversion, repayment, prepayment or
payment is made voluntarily, as a result of an acceleration, or otherwise), the
Borrower shall pay to CoBank, on the date of such repayment, prepayment,
payment or early conversion, a surcharge (Surcharge)
in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $300 and (ii) the present value of any
funding losses incurred or imputed by CoBank to have been incurred as a result
of such repayment, prepayment, payment or conversion for the period such amount
was scheduled to have been outstanding at such fixed rate (which, if less than
$0, shall be deemed to be $0), plus, in the case of the repayment,
prepayment, payment or conversion of any Portion of the Loan accruing interest
pursuant to the Quoted Rate option, an amount equal to 0.5% of the amount
repaid, prepaid or converted. Such Surcharge, including the amount of any
funding losses incurred by CoBank, shall be determined and calculated in
accordance with methodology established by CoBank.

SECTION 6. Repayment.

(A) Scheduled

balance of the Loan shall be repaid in twelve consecutive quarterly equal
principal payments of $125,000 on each such date, and, commencing on March 31,
2011, and on each Payment Date occurring thereafter, through and including
December 31, 2014 (the Maturity Date), the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall be repaid in sixteen consecutive quarterly equal
principal payments of $250,000 on each such date. On the Maturity Date, the
amount of the then unpaid principal balance of the Loan and any and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document relating to
this Loan shall be due and payable. If any Payment Date is not a Business Day,
then the installment then due shall be paid on the next Business Day and shall
continue to accrue interest until paid.

(B) Applications of Repayments; Related Interest and
Surcharge Payments. All repayments made pursuant to this Section
6 will be applied to such Portions of the Loan as the Borrower directs in
writing and, in the absence of such direction, as CoBank specifies. At the time
of each repayment pursuant to this Section 6, the Borrower must pay any

this First Supplement).
