UNIVERSAL NOTE

 

    	(Page 1 of 2)

    	 

    

 

DEFINITIONS:
As used on page 1, “x”means
the terms that apply to this loan. "I", "me" or “my" means each Borrower who signs this note and
each other person or legal entity (including guarantors, endorsers, and sureties) who agrees to pay this note (together referred.
to as "us"). You or your means the Lender and Its successors and assigns.

APPLlCABLE
LAW: Minnesota law controls this note. Any term of this note which violates Minnesota law is not
effective unless the law permits you and me to agree to a variation.

If any provision of this agreement IS unenforceable,
the rest of the agreement remains in force. I may not change this agreement without your express written consent. Time IS of the
essence in this agreement.

COMMISSIONS
OR OTHER REMUNERATION: I understand and agree that any insurance premiums paid to insurance companies as part of this
note will Involve money retained by you or paid back to you as commissions
or other remuneration.

In addition, I understand and agree that
some other payments to third parties as part of this note may also Involve money retained by you or paid back to you as commissions
or other remuneration.

PAYMENTS: You will apply each payment I make on this
note first to any amount l owe you for charges which are neither interest nor principal. You will apply the rest of each payment
to any unpaid interest, and then to the unpaid principal. If you and I agree to a different application of payments, we will describe
our agreement on this note.

I may prepay all or part of this loan without
penalty unless we agree to something different on this note. Any partial prepayment I make will not excuse or reduce any later
scheduled payment until this note is paid in full (unless, when I make the prepayment, you and I agree in writing to the contrary).

INTEREST: Interest accrues on the principal remaining
unpaid from time to time, until paid in full. If you give me my loan money in more than one advance, each advance will start to
earn interest only when I receive it.

The interest rate in effect on this note
at any time will apply to all the money you advance at that time. Regardless of anything in this document that might imply otherwise,
I will not pay and you will not charge a rate of interest that is higher than the maximum rate of interest you could charge under
applicable law for the credit you give me (before or after maturity).

If you send any erroneous notice of interest,
we mutually agree to correct it. If you collect more interest than the law and this agreement allow, you agree to refund it to
me.

INDEX RATE: The index will serve only as a device for
setting the rate on this note. You do not guarantee by selecting this index, or the margin, that the rate on this note will be
the same rate you charge on any other loans or class of loans to me or other borrowers.

ACCRUAL
METHOD: You will calculate the amount of interest I will pay on this loan using the interest rate and accrual method on page
1 of this note. When calculating interest, you will use the accrual
method to determine the number of days in a "year." If you do not state an accrual method, you may use any reasonable
accrual method to calculate interest.

POST
MATURITY RATE: In deciding when the "Post Maturity Rate" (on page 1) applies, "maturity" means: 1.) The
date of the last scheduled payment indicated on page 1 of this
note, or; 2.) The date you accelerate payment on the note, whichever is earlier.

SINGLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a single advance loan,
you and I expect that you will make only one advance of principal. However, you may add other amounts to the principal if you make
any payments described in the" PAYMENTS BY LENDER" paragraph below.

MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOANS: If this is a multiple advance
loan, you and I expect that you will make more than one advance of principal. If this is closed-end credit, I am not entitled to
additional credit if I repay a part of the principal.

PAYMENTS BY LENDER: If you are authorized to pay, on
my behalf, charges I am obligated to pay (such as property insurance premiums), then you may treat those payments made by you as
advances and add them to the unpaid principal under this note. Or, you may demand immediate payment of the charges.

SET-OFF: You may set off any amount due and payable under
this note against any right I have to receive money from you.

"Right to receive money from you"
means:

(1) any deposit account balance
I have with you;

(2) any money owed to me on an
item presented to you or in your possession for collection or exchange; and

(3) any repurchase agreement
or other nondeposit obligation.

"Any amount due and payable under this
note" means the total amount of which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of this note at the time you set
off. This total includes any balance the due date for which you properly accelerate under this note.

If someone who has not agreed to pay this
note also owns my right to receive money from you, your set-off right will apply to my interest in the obligation, and to any other
amounts I could withdraw on my sole request or endorsement.

Your set-off right does not apply to an
account or other obligation where my rights are only as a representative. It also does not apply to any Individual Retirement Account
or other tax-deferred retirement account.

You will not be liable for the dishonor
of any check when the dishonor occurs because you set off this debt against one of my accounts. I will assume the liability and
relieve you of all responsibility for any such claim that occurs if you set off this debt against one of my accounts.

REAL ESTATE OR RESIDENCE SECURITY: If I am giving you
any real estate or a residence that is personal property, as security for this note, I have signed a separate security agreement.
Default and your remedies for default are determined by applicable law and by the security agreement. Default and your remedies
may also be determined by the "Default" and paragraphs below, to the extent they are not prohibited by law or contrary
to the security agreement.

DEFAULT: l will be in default if any of the following
happen:

		(1)	I fail to make a payment on time or in the amount due;

		(2)	I fail to keep the property insured, if required;

		(3)	I fail to pay, or keep any promise, on any debt or agreement I have with you;

		(4)	any other creditors of mine try to collect any debt l owe them through court proceedings;

		(5)	I die, am declared incompetent, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or become insolvent (either because my liabilities
exceed my assets or I am unable to pay my debts as they become due);

		(6)	I make any written statement or provide any financial information that is untrue or inaccurate when it was provided;

		(7)	I do or fail to do something which causes you to believe that you will have difficulty collecting the amount l owe you;

		(8)	any collateral securing this note is used in a manner or for a purpose which threatens confiscation by a legal authority;

		(9)	I change my name or assume an additional name without first notifying you;

		(10)	I
fail to plant, cultivate and harvest crops in due season;

		(11)	any
loan proceeds are used for a purpose that will contribute to excessive erosion of highly erodible land, or to the conversion of
wetlands to produce an agricultural commodity, as explained in 7 C.F.R. Part 1940, Subpart G, Exhibit M.

REMEDIES: If I am in default on this note, you have,
but are not limited to, the following remedies:

		(1)	You may demand immediate payment of everything l owe under this note;

		(2)	You may set off this debt against any right I have to the payment of money from you, subject to the terms of the " SET-OFF"
paragraph;

		(3)	You may demand security, additional security, or additional parties to be obligated to pay this note as a condition for not
using any other remedy;

		(4)	You may refuse to make advances to me or allow me to make credit purchases;

		(5)	You may use any remedy you have under state or federal law. If you choose one of these remedies, you do not give up your right
to use any other remedy later. By waiving your right to declare an event to be a default, you do not waive your right to later
consider the event as a default if it continues or happens again.

COLLECTION COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES: I will pay all
costs of collection, replevin (an action for the recovery of property wrongfully taken or detained), or any other or similar type
of cost if I am in default. In addition, if you hire an attorney to collect this note, I will pay attorney's fees plus court costs
(except where prohibited by law). To the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I will also pay the reasonable
attorney's fees and costs you are charged to collect this debt as awarded by any court under the Bankruptcy Code's jurisdiction.

WAIVER: I give up my rights to require you to:

		(1)	demand payment of amounts due (presentment);

		(2)	obtain official certification of nonpayment (protest);

		(3)	give notice that amounts due have not been paid (notice of dishonor).

I waive any defenses I have based on suretyship
or impairment of collateral.

OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT: I must pay this note even if
someone else has also agreed to pay it (by, for example, signing this form or a separate guarantee or endorsement).

You may sue me alone, anyone else obligated
on this note, or any number of us together, to collect this note. You may do so without any notice that it has not been paid (notice
of dishonor).

You may, without notice, release any party
to the agreement without releasing any other party.

If you give up any of your rights, with
or without notice, it will not affect my duty to pay this note.

Any extension of new credit to any of us,
or renewal of this note by all or less than all of us, will not release me from my duty to pay it. (Of course, you are entitled
to only one payment in full.) You may extend this note or the debt represented by this note, or any portion of the note or debt,
from time to time without limit or notice. You may do this without affecting my liability for payment of the note.

I will not assign my obligation under this
agreement without your prior written approval.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION: I will provide you, at your request,
accurate, correct and complete financial statements or information you need.

NOTICE: Unless otherwise required by law, you will give
any notice to me by delivering it or mailing it by first class mail to my last known address. My current address is on page 1.
I will inform you in writing of any change in my address. I will give any notice to you by mailing it first class to your address
stated on page 1 of this agreement, or to any other address you give me.Exhibit 10.1

3.10Taxes.

 

(a)Any
and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Borrower shall be required
by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable

would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrowers shall make such deduction, and (iii) such Borrower
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, the applicable Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(c)Each
Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender, Issuer and any Participant, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent, such Lender, Issuer, or such Participant, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowing Agent by any Lender, Participant, or the Issuer (with a copy to Agent),
or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Body, the Borrowing Agent shall
deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

(e)Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder
or under any Other Document shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable
Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission
of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United
States federal income taxes at the full statutory withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under
the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations
or other Applicable Law. Further, Agent is indemnified under §1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against
any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuer for the amount of any tax it deducts
and withholds in accordance with regulations under §1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowing
Agent or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent
or Agent as will enable the Borrowing Agent or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender (or other Lender) shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent and
Agent (in such number of copies specified below or as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender (or other Lender) becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
Borrowing Agent or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

 

    	- 4 -
