|-------------------------------- |  | --------------------
|Maturity Date: December 31, 2010 |  | Date: March 25, 2005



For Value Received,
the undersigned promises to pay on or before December 31, 2010 (the Maturity Date), to the order of First National Bank of Omaha, at its headquarters office located at 1620 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE 68197 (the Bank), or at such
other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000). The principal sum shall become due and payable in forty equal quarterly installments of $2,000,000 with the first such
installment due on June 30, 2005 and subsequent installments due on the last day of the month of September, December, March and June thereafter, with the balance of the principal amount of this Term Credit Business Promissory Note (Note)
due and payable on the Maturity Date. TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN TERM AND REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 30, 2002, AS AMENDED AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK ON DECEMBER 29, 2003,
DECEMBER 30, 2004 AND MARCH 25, 2005 (as Amended, the Credit Agreement). Amounts available to be drawn under this Note shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.



The unpaid balance of this Note at any time shall be the total amount
advanced, plus interest accrued thereon and costs, expenses, and fees chargeable hereunder, less the amount of payments made hereon by or for the undersigned, which balance may be indorsed hereon from time to time by the holder hereof.



Interest shall be charged on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to
the date of maturity on a daily basis for the actual number of days any portion of the principal is outstanding, computed on the basis of a 360-day year, at the floating rate announced from time to time by the Bank as its National Base
Rate minus one percent (1%) (the Note Rate). The National Bar Rate is set by the Bank, solely in its discretion, to reflect generally the rates charged by money center banks as their reference rates. Rates charged by the
Bank may be at above or below the National Base Rate, as determined by the Bank as to each respective customer. Each change in the National Base Rate (or any component thereof) shall become effective, without notice to the undersigned (which notice
is hereby expressly waived by the undersigned), on the effective date of each such change. Should Bank, during the term of this Note, abolish or abandon the practice of establishing a National Base Rate, then the National Base Rate used during the
remaining term of this Note shall be that interest rate then the effect at Bank, which, from time to time, in the reasonable judgment of Bank, most effectively approximates the original definition of the National Base Rate. The
undersigned acknowledges that Bank may, from time to time, extend credit to other persons at rates of interest varying from, and having no relationship to, the National Base Rate. A certificate signed by an officer of Bank shall be conclusive
evidence of the National Base Rate at any given time.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360day year and shall be payable quarterly commencing
with the 30th day of June, 2005, and on the last day of September, December, March and June thereafter, with all unpaid interest due on the Maturity Date.



The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has agreed to the rate of interest represented by (1) the Note Rate; (2) any compensating balance
requirement of Bank; and (3) any additional charges, costs, and fees arising out of or related to the transaction of which this Note is a part, to the extent deemed to be interest under applicable law.



Upon default, all obligations under this Note (including principal, interest,
costs, and fees) shall bear interest, until paid in full at the Note Rate plus a per annum rate equal to three and one half percent (3.5%).



Each and every payment due under this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, and when made shall be
first applied to accrued costs, expenses, and fees, if any, then to interest due, and then to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note.



No provision of this Note or any other aspect of the transaction of which this Note is a part is intended to or shall require or permit the holder,
directly or indirectly, to take, receive, contract for, or reserve, in money, goods, or things in action, or in any other way, any interest (including amounts deemed by law to be interest, such amounts to then be deemed to be an addition to the rate
of interest agreed upon) in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law in the state of Nebraska as of the date hereof. If any such excess shall nevertheless be provided for, or be adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be provided for, the undersigned shall not be obligated to pay such excess but, if paid, then such excess shall be applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Note or, to the extent that the principal balance has been paid
in full by reason of such application or otherwise, such excess shall be remitted to the undersigned.



The undersigned hereby agrees (1) to any and all extensions (including extensions beyond the original term hereof) and renewals hereof, from time to time,
without notice, and that no such extension or renewal shall constitute or be deemed a release of any obligation of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (2) that any written modification, extension, or renewal hereof executed by the undersigned
shall constitute a representation and warranty of the undersigned that the unpaid balance of principal, interest, and other sums owing hereunder at the time of such modification, renewal, or extension are owed without adjustment for any offset,
counterclaim, or other defense of any kind by the undersigned against Bank; (3) that the acceptance by the holder hereof of any performance that does not comply strictly with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be neither a waiver or bar of any
right of said holder, nor a release of any obligation of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (4) to offsets of any sums or property owed to the undersigned by the holder hereof at any time; (5) that the undersigned is and shall remain subject to
the in personam, in rem, and subject matter jurisdiction of the courts of Nebraska (including the Federal District Court for the district of Nebraska for all purposes pertaining to this instrument and all documents and instruments executed in
connection herewith, securing the same, or in any



Page 2 of 7

way pertaining hereto; (6) that no surety or guarantor hereof shall be required to be joined in any action brought to
enforce this Note, and that the undersigned waives the right to require the joinder of the undersigned in any action to enforce the liability of a surety or guarantor hereof; (7) that this Note shall be governed by the laws of the state of Nebraska
applicable to the holder hereof upon demand any and all costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred in enforcing or attempting to recover payment of the amounts due under this Note, including negotiating, documenting, and
otherwise pursuing or consummating modifications, extensions, compositions, renewals, or other similar transactions pertaining to this Note, irrespective of the existence of an event of default, and including costs, expenses, and fees incurred
before, after, or irrespective of whether suit is commenced, and in the event suit is brought to enforce payment hereof, such costs, expenses, and fees and all other issues in such suit shall be determined by a court sitting without a jury.



The undersigned authorizes Bank to furnish any information in
its possession, however acquired, concerning the undersigned (or any affiliate) to any person or entity, for the purpose that Bank, in good faith and in its sole discretion, believes to be proper, including without limitation, the disclosure of
information to an actual or prospective lender to the undersigned, any actual or prospective participant in a loan between the undersigned and Bank, any prospective purchaser of securities issued or to be issued by Bank, and, to the extent permitted
by law, any governmental body or regulatory agency, or in connection with the actual or prospective transfer of all or a portion of this Note to another financial institution.



The undersigned represents and warrants that the indebtedness represented by this Note is for commercial purposes only.

TERM CREDIT BUSINESS
PROMISSORY NOTE



|            |  |                        
|----------- |  | -----------------------
|$94,000,000 |  | Date: December 30, 2002



For Value Received,
the undersigned promises to pay on or before December 31, 2007, to the order of First National Bank of Omaha, at its headquarters office located at 1601 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE 68197 (the Bank), or at such other place as the holder
hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Ninety-Four Million Dollars ($94,000,000). The principal sum shall become due and payable in twenty equal quarterly installments of $2,350,000 with the first such installment due on March
31, 2003 and subsequent installments due on the last day of the month of June, September, December and March thereafter, with the balance of the principal amount of the term note due and payable on the maturity date. TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL
HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN TERM AND REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 30, 2002 AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK (the Credit Agreement). Amounts available to be drawn under this Term Credit Business
Promissory Note shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement.



The unpaid balance of this Note at any time shall be the total amount advanced, plus interest accrued thereon and costs, expenses, and fees chargeable hereunder, less the amount of payments made hereon by or for the
undersigned, which balance may be indorsed hereon from time to time by the holder hereof.



Interest shall be charged on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of maturity on a daily basis for the actual number of days any portion of the principal is outstanding, computed on the basis of a
360-day year, at the floating rate announced from time to time by the Bank as its National Base Rate minus one percent (1%) (the Note Rate). The National Bar Rate is set by the Bank, solely in its discretion, to reflect
generally the rates charged by money center banks as their reference rates. Rates charged by the Bank may be at above or below the National Base Rate, as determined by the Bank as to each respective customer. Each change in the National Base Rate
(or any component thereof) shall become effective, without notice to the undersigned (which notice is hereby expressly waived by the undersigned), on the effective date of each such change. Should Bank, during the term of this Note, abolish or
abandon the practice of establishing a National Base Rate, then the National Base Rate used during the remaining term of this Note shall be that interest rate then the effect at Bank, which, from time to time, in the reasonable judgment of Bank,
most effectively approximates the original definition of the National Base Rate. The undersigned acknowledges that Bank may, from time to time, extend credit to other persons at rates of interest varying from, and having no relationship
to, the National Base Rate. A certificate signed by an officer of Bank shall be conclusive evidence of the National Base Rate at any given time.



Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360day year and shall be payable on the due date of this Note quarterly commencing with the
31stday of March, 2003, until all principal and interest hereunder have been fully paid.





---

The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has agreed to the rate of interest represented by (1)
the Note Rate; (2) any compensating balance requirement of Bank; and (3) any additional charges, costs, and fees arising out of or related to the transaction of which this Note is a part, to the extent deemed to be interest under applicable law.



Upon default, all obligations under this Note (including
principal, interest, costs, and fees) shall bear interest, until paid in full at the Note Rate plus a per annum rate equal to three and one half percent (3.5%).



Each and every payment due under this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, and when made shall
be first applied to accrued costs, expenses, and fees, if any, then to interest due, and then to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note.



No provision of this Note or any other aspect of the transaction of which this Note is a part is intended to or shall require or permit the holder,
directly or indirectly, to take, receive, contract for, or reserve, in money, goods, or things in action, or in any other way, any interest (including amounts deemed by law to be interest, such amounts to then be deemed to be an addition to the rate
of interest agreed upon) in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law in the state of Nebraska as of the date hereof. If any such excess shall nevertheless be provided for, or be adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be provided for, the undersigned shall not be obligated to pay such excess but, if paid, then such excess shall be applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Note or, to the extent that the principal balance has been paid
in full by reason of such application or otherwise, such excess shall be remitted to the undersigned.



The undersigned hereby agrees (1) to any and all extensions (including extensions beyond the original term hereof) and renewals hereof, from time to time,
without notice, and that no such extension or renewal shall constitute or be deemed a release of any obligation of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (2) that any written modification, extension, or renewal hereof executed by the undersigned
shall constitute a representation and warranty of the undersigned that the unpaid balance of principal, interest, and other sums owing hereunder at the time of such modification, renewal, or extension are owed without adjustment for any offset,
counterclaim, or other defense of any kind by the undersigned against Bank; (3) that the acceptance by the holder hereof of any performance that does not comply strictly with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be neither a waiver or bar of any
right of said holder, nor a release of any obligation of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (4) to offsets of any sums or property owed to the undersigned by the holder hereof at any time; (5) that the undersigned is and shall remain subject to
the in personam, in rem, and subject matter jurisdiction of the courts of Nebraska (including the Federal District Court for the district of Nebraska for all purposes pertaining to this instrument and all documents and instruments executed in
connection herewith, securing the same, or in any way pertaining hereto; (6) that no surety or guarantor hereof shall be required to be joined in any action brought to enforce this Note, and that the undersigned waives the right to require the
joinder of the undersigned in any action to enforce the liability of a surety or guarantor hereof; (7) that this Note shall be governed by the laws of the state of Nebraska applicable to the holder hereof upon demand any and all costs, expenses, and
fees (including reasonable attorney fees)





---

incurred in enforcing or attempting to recover payment of the amounts due under this Note, including negotiating, documenting, and otherwise pursuing or
consummating modifications, extensions, compositions, renewals, or other similar transactions pertaining to this Note, irrespective of the existence of an event of default, and including costs, expenses, and fees incurred before, after, or
irrespective of whether suit is commenced, and in the event suit is brought to enforce payment hereof, such costs, expenses, and fees and all other issues in such suit shall be determined by a court sitting without a jury.



The undersigned authorizes Bank to furnish any information in its possession,
however acquired, concerning the undersigned (or any affiliate) to any person or entity, for the purpose that Bank, in good faith and in its sole discretion, believes to be proper, including without limitation, the disclosure of information to an
actual or prospective lender to the undersigned, any actual or prospective participant in a loan between the undersigned and Bank, any prospective purchaser of securities issued or to be issued by Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, any
governmental body or regulatory agency, or in connection with the actual or prospective transfer of all or a portion of this Note to another financial institution.
