holder on the attached schedule to this Note. The unpaid principal balance of this promissory note (“Note”) shall bear interest (the “Effective Interest Rate”) computed upon the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number
of days elapsed in a quarter, which is equal to 4.800 percent (4.800%) (480 basis points) in excess of the LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”). For the purposes of this Note, LIBOR shall mean the rate (rounded upward to the nearest thousand) indicated by
Telerate (or if Telerate shall cease displaying such rates, such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers Association for the purpose of displaying London Interbank Offered Rates for U.S. Dollar deposits) as having been
quoted by the British Bankers Association at 11:00 a.m. London time on the first Banking Day of each month for the offering of U.S. dollar deposits in the London interbank market for a one month period. The LIBOR rate determined pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be used to determine the LIBOR rate for all amounts advanced or outstanding during such month. LIBOR rate shall be fixed on the first Banking Day within such month based on the one month LIBOR rate for that day but shall
vary from month to month. “Banking Day” shall mean the first day of each month on which Lender is open for business, dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are being carried out in the London interbank market, and banks are open for business in
New York City and London, England. 
  
 This Note evidences indebtedness incurred
under a Revolving Subordinated Loan Agreement dated November 21, 2002, and if amended, all amendments thereto) between the Borrower and Lender, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and provisions, including those under
which this Note may be paid prior to its due date or its due date accelerated. As provided in said Agreement, the payment of principal of and interest on this Note is expressly subordinated to the payment of all other claims on Borrower which are
not similarly subordinated.

fund regulatory capital requirements as required by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. This note shall be unsecured. 
  
 Payments shall be paid to Lender as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Borrower shall make quarterly payments of interest only on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during the term of the Note;

Such fee shall be payable for each quarter (or portion thereof) occurring during the original or any extended term of the
loan commitment. 
  
 Borrower expressly assumes all risks of loss
or delay in the delivery of any payments made by mail and no course of conduct or dealing shall affect Borrower’s assumption of these risks. This Note may be prepaid, in full or in part at any time without penalty. All payments shall be applied
first to late charges, then to interest and finally to principal.

shall be deemed to be a “Note” within the meaning of the Agreement. If any payment under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days after the date due, then, at the option of the Lender, a late charge of not more than five cents ($0.05)
for each dollar of the installment past due may be charged by Lender. 
  
 Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and Borrower’s failure to pay the entire amount due shall be and continue to be an event of default. The
liability of the Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party. The laws of the State of Iowa hereunder shall govern all rights and obligations.
