Mrs. Sylvia Machulak as an
Individual and for her Rollover
Individual Retirement Account
903 West Green Tree Road
River Hills, Wisconsin  53217

Dear Mrs. Machulak:

At today's Commerce Group Corp. (Commerce) Directors' meeting, the
Directors were informed about the annual confirmation, disclosure and
status letter that you requested from Commerce, its subsidiaries, its
affiliates, and the Joint Venture, and to establish and confirm the
amount due and the collateral pledged along with any other Commerce
obligations or agreements made to the Sylvia Machulak Rollover Retirement
Account (SM RIRA) and to Sylvia Machulak as an individual/consultant
(SM), both referred to as Lenders, as of Commerce's fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009.  Today, Commerce's Directors, by unanimous consent,
approved, ratified and confirmed the contents of this letter and
authorized me to submit its understanding of your status with Commerce,
which is as follows:

1.   Promissory Notes

     The total amount of all of the open-ended, secured, on-demand
     promissory notes (Notes) together with interest due to the SM RIRA
     is $1,168,811.34 as of March 31, 2009.  Commerce has renewed this
     promissory note as of March 31, 2009 and a copy is attached (Exhibit
     A).  A schedule including all of the transactions pertaining to the
     activities relating to this Note during this fiscal year ended March
     31, 2009 is also attached (Exhibit A-1).  These Note(s) bear
     interest, payable monthly, at the rate of 3% over the prime rate
     established from time to time by the First National Bank of Chicago,
     Chicago, Illinois, (then Bank One; now the prime rate published in
     the Wall Street Journal), but not less than 16% per annum.  Commerce
     is no longer issuing monthly Notes for the payment of interest,
     etc., but pursuant to our understanding, Commerce is augmenting all
     additions and advances made by the SM RIRA, and it will deduct any
     payments or credits made by Commerce to the current open-ended,
     secured, on-demand, outstanding Notes issued or

     obligations owed to the SM RIRA and Commerce will provide an annual
     accounting and confirmation letter.

     On May 9, 2005, Commerce's Directors authorized its Officers to
     issue renewed annual note(s) (Exhibit B of the May 9, 2005
     confirmation letter) so that the Lender will have a current
     substituted dated debt instrument.  The Directors acknowledged that
     the issuance of note(s) for each transaction are too cumbersome and
     are not practicable to manage.  Also, the length of time involved
     and the number of transactions make it impractical to devote the
     time and effort to issue a note for each transaction.  However,
     beginning with the fiscal year which ended March 31, 2007, the
     Directors are including the following as Lender(s):  John E.
     Machulak and Susan R. Robertson, husband and wife (M&R), the
     Machulak, Robertson & Sodos, S.C. Law Firm (Law Firm), Circular
     Marketing, Inc.  (CMI) and Edward A. Machulak as an individual
     (EAM).  Therefore, the Directors have unanimously agreed to continue
     to embrace this resolution which was adopted on May 9, 2005:

          WHEREAS, in the past 20 years or more the following parties:
     General Lumber & Supply Co., Inc. (GLSCO); Edward L. Machulak  as an
     individual and not as a Director or Officer of Commerce (ELM); the
     Edward L. Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account (ELM
     RIRA), the Sylvia Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account
     (SM RIRA), and Sylvia Machulak, as a consultant and as an individual
     (SM), hereafter collectively and individually identified as the
     Lender(s), have accounted for advancing cash funds, earning accrued
     interest, and for appropriate credit which was reconciled to the
     open-ended, secured, on-demand notes(s); and

          WHEREAS, the Directors desire to minimize the record keeping in
     these transactions without jeopardizing, diminishing, altering,
     changing or losing any rights that the Lenders have by changing the
     procedures in handling the recording of any notes(s) issued or to be
     issued; and

          WHEREAS, in order to provide an easier accounting facility by
     renewing the notes(s) on an annual basis to coincide with the
     Company's fiscal year (which presently ends on March 31) and to
     incorporate said renewed note(s) with the annual confirmation
     agreement(s); and

          WHEREAS, prior to the change to issue substituted renewed
     note(s), the initial promissory note(s) were considered to be
     open-ended, secured, on-demand and the additions and deductions were
     recognized by separate accounting records; therefore, be it

          RESOLVED, That the Directors authorize and empower the Officers
     to substitute and issue renewed consolidated promissory note(s) at
     the end of each fiscal year beginning with the Company's fiscal year
     ended March 31, 2005 to the following: General Lumber & Supply Co.,
     Inc. (GLSCO); Edward L. Machulak  as an individual and not as a
     Director or Officer of Commerce (ELM); the Edward L. Machulak
     Rollover Individual Retirement Account (ELM RIRA), the Sylvia
     Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account (SM RIRA), and
     Sylvia Machulak, as a consultant and as an individual (SM),
     hereafter collectively and individually identified as the Lender(s);
     and

          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Officers of the Company are
     authorized and empowered to assure the Lender(s) that by
     substituting and consolidating the existing note(s) and issuing the
     renewed note(s) on the last day of the Company's fiscal year
     beginning with March 31, 2005 with the understanding that the
     intention is that the Lender(s) will not jeopardize, lose, diminish,
     risk, alter or change any rights, including the pledge of
     collateral, that are inherent with the initial note(s) by the
     issuance of annual renewed open-ended, secured, on-demand promissory
     note(s); and

          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Directors acknowledge that the
     only purpose of the change and substitution to issue annual renewed
     notes(s) is for the convenience, reduced accounting and reducing the
     paperwork involved; and

          BE IT FURTHER RESOVED, That the Officers are authorized and
     empowered to perform any act that they deem necessary to accommodate
     the purpose of issuing annual renewed note(s).

As of March 31, 2009, the following parties are collectively and
individually identified as the Lender(s): General Lumber & Supply Co.,
Inc. (GLSCO); Edward L. Machulak  as an individual and not as a Director
or Officer of Commerce (ELM); the Edward L. Machulak Rollover Individual
Retirement Account (ELM RIRA), the Sylvia Machulak Rollover Individual
Retirement Account (SM RIRA), Sylvia Machulak, as a consultant and as an
individual (SM), John E. Machulak and Susan R. Robertson, husband and
wife (M&R), the Machulak, Robertson & Sodos, S.C. Law Firm (Law Firm),
Circular Marketing, Inc. (CMI) and Edward A. Machulak as an individual
(EAM).

         The following collateral has been previously assigned to the
         Lenders pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Directors:

         (1) Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (Joint Venture)

             Both Commerce and San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc. have
             assigned all of the rights, title, claims, remedies and
             interest that each has in the Joint Venture to the Lenders.
             Reference is made to Historical information - San Sebastian

         (2) New SSGM Exploration Concession/License (New SSGM) -
             approximately 40.7694 square kilometers (10,070 acres)
             Government of El Salvador Resolution No. 27.

             On October 20, 2002, the Company applied for the New SSGM,
             which covers an area of 42 square kilometers and includes
             approximately 1.2306 square kilometers of the Renewed SSGM.
             The New SSGM is in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa
             Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union and in the Nueva
             Esparta in the Department of Morazan, Republic of El
             Salvador, Central America.  On February 24, 2003, the El
             Salvador Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM) issued
             the New SSGM for a period of four years starting from the
             date following the notification of this resolution which was
             received on March 3, 2003.  The New SSGM may be extended for
             two two-year periods, or for a total of eight years.
             Besides the San Sebastian Gold Mine,  three other formerly
             operative gold and silver mines known as the La Lola Mine,

             surface tax.  This concession had been assigned collectively
             to all of the Lenders named herein on May 12, 2003 and the
             assignment was included in the May 12, 2003 confirmation
             agreement as Exhibit B.

         (3) Lease agreement by and between Mineral San Sebastian
             Sociedad Anomina de Capital Variable (Misanse) and Commerce
             dated January 14, 2003

             The term of this lease agreement coincides with the term of
             the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession
             and consists of 1,470 acres owned by Misanse.  This lease
             agreement has been assigned to all of the Lenders named
             herein on May 12, 2003 and the assignment was included in
             the May 12, 2003 confirmation agreement as Exhibit B.

         (4) Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation
             Concession/License (Renewed SSGM) - approximately 1.2306
             square kilometers (304 acres), Department of La Union, El
             Salvador, Central America (pledged and assigned as
             collateral on May 10, 2004) Government of El Salvador
             Agreement No. 591.

             On September 6, 2002, at a meeting held with the El
             Salvadoran Minister of Economy and the DHM, it was agreed to
             submit an application for the Renewed SSGM for a 30-year
             term and to simultaneously cancel the concession obtained on
             July 23, 1987.  On September 26, 2002, the Company filed
             this application.  On February 28, 2003 (received March 3,
             2003) the DHM admitted to the receipt of the application and
             the Company proceeded to file public notices as required by
             Article 40 of the El Salvadoran Mining Law and its Reform
             (MLIR).  On April 16, 2003, the Company's El Salvadoran
             legal counsel filed with the DHM notice that it believed
             that it complied with the requirements of Article 40, and
             that there were no objections; and requested that the DHM
             make its inspection as required by MLIR Article 42.  The
             Company then provided a bond which was required by the DHM
             to protect third parties against any damage caused from the
             mining operations, and it simultaneously paid the annual
             surface tax.  On August 29, 2003 the Office of the Ministry
             of Economy formally presented the Company with the
             twenty-year Renewed SSGM which was dated August 18, 2003.
             This Renewed SSGM replaces the collateral that the same
             parties held with the previous concession.  On May 20, 2004
             (delivered June 4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador,
             under their Agreement Number 591, extended the exploitation
             concession for a period of 30 years.  A copy of the
             assignment dated May 10, 2004, is attached to the May 10,
             2004 confirmation letter as Exhibit B and the

             Renewed SSGM agreement is attached to Exhibit B and referred
             to as Exhibit 1.


         (5) San Cristobal Mill and Plant (SCMP) three-year lease by and
             between Commerce and Corporacion Salvadorena de Inversiones
             (Corsain), an El Salvadoran governmental agency, executed on
             Monday, April 26, 2004, retroactive to November 13, 2003.
             Pledged and assigned as collateral on May 10, 2004.

             The renewed three-year SCMP lease for the property located
             near the City of El Divisadero was finalized and executed on
             Monday, April 26, 2004, and is retroactive to November 13,
             2003.  This May 10, 2004 assignment is included in the May
             10, 2004 confirmation letter as Exhibit B and the lease
             agreement is attached to Exhibit B and referred to as
             Exhibit 2.

             On March 25, 2008 a nineteen-month lease retroactive to
             November 12, 2006 was executed by and between Corsain and
             Commerce.  The lease was renewed on June 12, 2008 for a
             six-month period to expire on December 11, 2008 with an
             option to subsequently renew it for additional three-month
             periods.  The Company has chosen to exercise this option and
             has renewed the lease through June of 2009.  Reference is
             made to Exhibit 10.16 of Commerce's Form 10-K for its fiscal
             year ended March 31, 2008 for a copy of this lease.

         (6) Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License (Nueva Esparta)
             - 45 square kilometers (11,115 acres) Resolution No. 271

             On or about October 20, 2002, the Company filed an
             application with the DHM for the Nueva Esparta Exploration
             Concession/License which consists of 45 square kilometers
             and is located north and adjacent to the New SSGM.  On May
             25, 2004 the Government of El Salvador, under their
             Resolution No. 271, issued the Nueva Esparta Exploration
             Concession/License for a period of four years starting from
             the date following the notification of this resolution which
             was received on June 4, 2004.  This concession/license may
             be extended for two two-year periods or for a total of eight
             years.  This rectangular area is in the Departments of La
             Union (east) and Morazan (west) and in the jurisdiction of
             the City of Santa Rosa de Lima, El Salvador, Central
             America.  Included in the Nueva Esparta are eight other
             formerly operated gold and silver mines known as:  the
             Banadero Mine, the Carrizal Mine, the Copetillo Mine, the

             Mine, the La Joya Mine, the Las Pinas Mine, the Montemayor
             Mine, and the Oro Mine.  A copy of the assignment dated May
             9, 2005 was attached to the May 9, 2005 confirmation letter
             as Exhibit C and the Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession is
             attached to Exhibit C and referred to as Exhibit 1.


         (7) Acknowledgment of collateral provided through March 31, 2009

             Commerce's Directors have on April 8, 2009 authorized and
             directed Commerce's Officers to assign all of the rights,
             titles, claims, remedies and interest in all of its assets
             that it has, including any assets owned by the Joint
             Venture, to GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM, and
             from March 31, 2007 to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and
             EAM, collectively and individually referred to as Lenders,
             as additional collateral for all of the outstanding loans
             and obligations as of March 31, 2009, including all future
             advances of any kind.

5.   Cross Pledge Collateral Agreement

     GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM individually are
     entitled to specific collateral that has been pledged to them by
     Commerce, its subsidiaries, affiliates and the Joint Venture.  Upon
     default by Commerce, or its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Joint
     Venture, then GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM have the
     first right to the proceeds from the specific collateral pledged to
     each of them.  Commerce, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and the Joint
     Venture also have cross-pledged the collateral without diminishing
     the rights of the specific collateral pledged to each of the
     following:  GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA and SM.  The
     purpose and the intent of the cross pledge of collateral is to
     assure GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, and SM, that each of
     them would be paid in full; thus, any excess collateral that would
     be available is for the purpose of satisfying any debts and
     obligations due to each of the named parties.  The formula to be
     used (after deducting the payments made from the specific
     collateral) is to total all of the debts due to GLSCO, ELM, the ELM
     RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM, and from March 31, 2007 to include M&R, the
     Law Firm, CMI and EAM, and then to divide this total debt into each
     individual debt to establish each individual's percentage of the
     outstanding debt due.  This percentage then will be multiplied by
     the total of the excess collateral to determine the amount of
     proceeds each party should receive from the excess collateral.  Then
     the amount due to each of them would be distributed accordingly.

6.   Cancellation of Inter-Company Debts Upon Default

     Since certain of the collateral specifically or collectively pledged
     to GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA, SM and from March 31, 2007
     to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and EAM, consists of the common
     stock of Homespan, Ecomm, Sanseb, SLE, Misanse, UDI and the interest
     in the ownership of the Joint Venture, Commerce agreed, upon default
     of the payment of principal or interest to any of the individual
     Lender(s) mentioned herein, that it will automatically cancel any
     inter-company debts owed to Commerce by any of its wholly-owned
     subsidiaries or affiliates or the Joint Venture at such time as any
     of the stock or Joint Venture ownership is transferred to the
     collateral holders as a result of default of any promissory note.

7.   Guarantors

     This agreement further confirms that Commerce and all of the
     following are guarantors to the obligations due to SM and to the
     loans made by the SM RIRA to Commerce:  Joint Venture, Homespan,
     Ecomm, SLE, Sanseb and UDI.  They jointly and severally guarantee
     payment of the note(s) that they caused to be issued and also agree
     that these note(s) may be accelerated in accordance with the
     provisions contained in the agreement and/or any collateral or
     mortgages securing these notes.  Also, Commerce, all of its
     subsidiaries and the Joint Venture agree to the cross pledge of
     collateral for the benefit of GLSCO, ELM, the ELM RIRA, the SM RIRA,
     SM, and from March 31, 2007 to include M&R, the Law Firm, CMI and
     EAM.  Reference is made to Exhibit 5 included in the April 9, 1990
     confirmation letter.

8.   Re-Execution Agreement(s)

     In the event the SM RIRA and/or SM deems that it is necessary or
     advisable for the SM RIRA and/or SM to have Commerce re-execute any
     document(s) entered into, including, but not limited to the
     promissory note(s) or collateral agreement(s), Commerce will
     re-execute such document(s) reasonably required by the SM RIRA
     and/or SM.  Commerce also acknowledges that Commerce may be liable
     to pay certain costs related to any of the transactions entered into
     with the SM RIRA and/or SM.  If at a later date the SM RIRA and/or
     SM determines that an error has been made in the payment of such
     costs to the SM RIRA and/or SM, then the SM RIRA and/or SM may
     demand payment and Commerce does hereby agree to make such payment
     forthwith.  All requests for corrections of any errors and/or
     payment of costs shall be complied with by Commerce within seven (7)
     days of the SM RIRA's and/or SM's written request.   The failure of
     Commerce to comply with Commerce's obligation(s) hereunder shall
     constitute a default and shall entitle the

     SM RIRA and/or SM to the remedies available for default under any
     provisions of the agreements including, but not limited to the
     promissory note(s) and/or the collateral pledge agreement(s) and/or
     any other Commerce obligation(s).

9.   Omissions

     Commerce believes that it has included all of its obligations,
     monies due and has listed all of the collateral due to the SM RIRA
     and/or SM, however, since these transactions have taken place over
     a long period of time in which changes could have taken place, it is
     possible that inadvertently some item(s), particularly collateral,
     could have been omitted.  If that should prove to be a fact, then
     Commerce, the Joint Venture, Homespan, Ecomm, SLE, Sanseb, and UDI
     agree that those omissions of collateral, if any, are meant to be
     included as collateral under this confirmation agreement.

If you are in agreement with the contents of this letter, please sign

Very truly yours,

                           RENEWED PROMISSORY NOTE


Borrower: Commerce Group Corp.            Lender:  Sylvia Machulak RIRA
          6001 North 91st Street                   903 West Green Tree Rd.
          Milwaukee, WI  53225                     Milwaukee, WI  53217

Principal Amount:      $1,168,811.34
Initial Rate:          3.000% + prime rate, but not less than 16.000%
Date of Renewed Note:  March 31, 2009

PROMISE TO PAY.  COMMERCE GROUP CORP. ("Borrower") promises to pay to the
SYLVIA  MACHULAK ROLLOVER INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT ("Lender"), or
order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal
amount of One Million One Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand Eight Hundred
Eleven and 34/100 Dollars ($1,168,811.34), together with interest, paid
monthly, on the unpaid principal balance from March 31, 2009, until paid
in full.

PAYMENT.  This is an open-ended, secured, on-demand payment, renewed
promissory note.  Interest is to be paid monthly.  The Lender, at its
discretion, can add the monthly interest due to the principal balance.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be
applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal.  The
annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that
is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360
days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding and the
interest is payable monthly.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to
change from time to time based on changes in the prime rate as quoted in
the Wall Street Journal plus three percent, but not less than sixteen
percent per annum.  Borrower understands that Lender may make loans to
the Borrower based on other rates as well. The prime rate as of this date
is 3.250% per annum.  The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 3.000 percentage
points over the prime rate, but not less than 16.000% per annum.  NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than
16.000% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable
law.

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the
amount owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless
agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation
to pay on demand, the entire amount due.  Rather, any payment will reduce
the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments
marked "paid in full," "without recourse," or similar language.  If
Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of
Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to
pay any further amount owed to Lender.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay on
demand, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,
increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000 percentage
points over the prime rate or over the 16.000% rate, whichever is higher.
The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an event of default
("Event of Default") under this Note:

     Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when demand is
     made under this Note.

     Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any
     other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note
     or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform
     any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other
     agreement between Lender and Borrower.


<PAGE>


     Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor defaults
     under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
     sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
     creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's
     property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform
     Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related
     documents.

     False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or
     furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this
     Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material
     respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
     false or misleading at any time thereafter.

     Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence
     as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of
     a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for
     the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the
     commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency
     laws by or against Borrower.

     Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or
     forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
     repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by
     any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan.
     However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good
     faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of
     the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture
     proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the
     creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or
     a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an
     amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an
     adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

     Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with
     respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor
     disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the
     indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

     Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
     financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or
     performance of this Note is impaired.

     Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS.  Upon default or upon demand, the Lender may declare the
entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid
interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

COLLATERAL.  Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by all security
agreements, guarantees, mortgages, and other security instruments
previously granted, contemporaneously granted, and granted in the future,
and it has the collateral and other rights all as contained in a certain
confirmation agreement dated May 10, 2004 between all parties contained
therein, and as subsequently amended and updated from time to time.

ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower will pay Lender
that amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law,
Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not
there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
injunction), and appeals.  If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower
also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by
law.

GOVERNING LAW.  This Note will be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.  This Note has been
accepted by Lender in the State of Wisconsin.

contemporaneously entered into a Loan or Confirmation Agreements, it is

or Confirmation Agreements.  For purpose of this provision, Loan or
