(a)In order to satisfy the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the “Business Subsidies Act”), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amount of the “Business Subsidy” granted to the Borrower under this Agreement is the amount of the loan, which is $200,000, and that the Business Subsidy is needed because the project is not sufficiently feasible for the Borrower to undertake without the Business Subsidy. The public purpose of the Business Subsidy is to develop manufacturing facilities, increase the tax base in the City and stimulate the creation and retention of jobs. In consideration of the Business Subsidy provided for the Borrower’s relocation to and purchase and renovation of an existing building located onthe Loan Property, the Borrower represents that pursuant to the terms of the Entity Guaranty, Entity Guarantor has agreed to meet following goals (the “Goals”): the Entity Guarantor shall relocate or create 12full-time equivalent jobs in Elk River, Minnesota(the “City”), 10 477330v1EL185-40 at the Loan Property at an hourly wage equal to the greater of $15.00 per hour or 150% of the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is greater(the “Jobs”), by the two (2) year anniversary of the date of closing on the Loan(the “Benefit Date”). (b)If none of the Goals are met, the Borrower agree to repay all of the Business Subsidy to the City, plus interest (“Interest”) set at the greater of 2.00% per annum or the implicit price deflator defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 275.70, subdivision 3, accruing from and after the date of closing on the Loan, compounded semiannually. If the Goals are met in part, the Borrower agrees to repay a portion of the Business Subsidy (plus Interest) determined by multiplying the Business Subsidy by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Jobs in the Goals which were not created at the wage level set forth above and the denominator of which is 12 (i.e. number of Jobs set forth in the Goals). (c)The Borrower agrees to: (i) report the Entity Guarantor’sprogress on achieving the Goals to the City until the later of the date the Goals are met or two years from the Benefit Date, or, if the Goals are not met, until the date the Business Subsidy is repaid, (ii) include in the report the information required in Section 116J.994, subdivision 7 of the Business Subsidies Act on forms developed by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and (iii) send completed reports to the City. The Borrower agrees to file these reports no later than March 1 of each year commencing March 1, 2017, and within 30 days after the deadline for meeting the Goals. The City agrees that if it does not receive the reports, it will mail the Entity Guarantor and the Borrower a warning within one week of the required filing date. If within 14 days of the post marked date of the warning the reports are not made, the Borrower agrees to pay to the City a penalty of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed up to a maximum of $1,000. (d)Pursuant to the terms of the Entity Guaranty, the Entity Guarantor has agreed that it will continue operations in the City and maintain the Jobs for at least 5 years after the Benefit Date. (e)Other than the loan provided pursuant to this Agreement, there are no other state or local government agencies providing financial assistance for the project. (f)There is no parent corporation ofthe Entity Guarantor or the Borrower.

In the event the deposits on hand shallnot be sufficient to pay all of the Charges when the same shall become due from time to time, or the prior deposits shall be less than the currently estimated monthly amounts, then Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any amount necessary to make upthe deficiency. The excess of any such deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor or credited towards subsequent Charges, at the discretion of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default shall occur under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, at its option, without being required so to do, apply any deposits on hand to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.When the Obligations havebeen fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor as its interest may appear.
