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, any creditor of any Grantor
against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, or by any governmental agency.
This includes a garnishment, attachment, or levy on or of any of Borrowers
deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, as to
the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor
or forfeiture proceeding, and if Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice
of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond
for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under,
any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be
required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the
obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and,
in doing so, cure the Event of Default.
ADVERSE CHANGE. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
INSECURITY. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
RIGHT TO CURE. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a
notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be
cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or Grantor, as
the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of
such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure
requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender
deems in Lenders sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient
to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except
where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all
commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related
Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any
obligation to make Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any
kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit
of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's
right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:
AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the

Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation
interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation
interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation
interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the

agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further
waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later

provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation

this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right
otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision
of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between
Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a
waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any
Grantor as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is
required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any
instance shall not constitute continuing consent in subsequent instances where
such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
FINAL AGREEMENT. Borrower understands that this Agreement and the related
loan documents are the final expression of the agreement between Lender and
Borrower and may not be contradicted by evidence of any alleged oral agreement.

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $14,500,000.00 INITIAL RATE: 8.000%
DATE OF NOTE: APRIL 14, 2000
PROMISE TO PAY. UTAH MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO
KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF FOURTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($14,500,000.00) OR SO MUCH AS MAY BE OUTSTANDING,
TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ON THE UNPAID OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF EACH
ADVANCE. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF EACH ADVANCE UNTIL
REPAYMENT OF EACH ADVANCE.
PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN ON DEMAND, OR IF NO DEMAND IS MADE, IN ONE
PAYMENT OF ALL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL PLUS ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST ON APRIL
14, 2002. IN ADDITION, BORROWER WILL PAY REGULAR MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF ACCRUED
UNPAID INTEREST BEGINNING MAY 15, 2000, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PAYMENTS ARE
DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH AFTER THAT. Interest on this Note is computed
on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, times the outstanding principal balance,
times the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower
will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender
may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the Prime Rate announced
by Lender (the "Index'). The interest rate will change automatically and
correspondingly on the date of each announced change of the Index by Lender. The
Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is
set by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Index becomes unavailable during
the term of this loan, the Lender may designate a substitute index after
notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon
Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on
other rates as well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than
each day that the Index changes. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS 9.000% PER ANNUM. THE
INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE
AT A RATE OF 1.000 PERCENTAGE POINT UNDER THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL
RATE OF 8.000% PER ANNUM. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate
on this Note be 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 continue to make
payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the principal
balance due.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 DAYS OR MORE LATE, Borrower will be charged
5.000% OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENT OR $50.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower
has with Lender. (c) Borrower 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. (d) Any
representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on
Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now or
at the time made or furnished. (e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is
appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or
against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f) Any creditor tries
to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security
interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.
(g) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in this default
section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note. (h) A material
adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the
prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. (i) Lender
in good xxxxx xxxxx itself insecure.
If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has
not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within
the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of default will
have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding
cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if
the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which
Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default
and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps
sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default, including failure
to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note 3.000
percentage points. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note
if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's reasonable
attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy

injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. If

will apply:
"Business Day" means a day on which dealings are carried on in the
London interbank eurodollar market.
"LIBOR Interest Period" means the period commencing on the date an
advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate is made, continued, or converted and
continuing for one month, with successive periods commencing on the same day of
each month thereafter;
"LIBOR Rate" means the rate per annum calculated by the Lender in good
faith, which Lender determines with reference to the rate per annum (rounded
upwards to the next higher whole multiple of 1/16% if such rate is not such a
multiple) at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by prime banks
in the London interbank eurodollar market two Business Days prior to the day on
which such rate is calculated by Bank, in an amount comparable to the amount of
such advance and with a maturity equal to the LIBOR Interest Period;
"LIBOR Reserve Requirements" means, for any advance bearing interest
at the LIBOR Rate, the maximum reserves (whether basic, supplemental, marginal,
emergency, or otherwise) prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor) with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency liabilities" (as defined in Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) having a term equal to
the term of such advance.
"Margin' means ONE AND FORTY FIVE ONE-HUNDREDTHS percent (1.45 %).
Note Rate" means the interest rate provided for in the Note based on
the Lender's Prime Rate (as defined in the Note).
2. INTEREST RATE. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Note to the
contrary, advances under the Note shall bear interest at a fixed rate of
interest equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Margin for the duration of a LIBOR
Interest Period; provided that no such advance shall be in an amount of less
than $100,000.00, and provided further that no LIBOR Interest Period may extend
beyond the maturity date of the Note. Upon the expiration of the initial LIBOR
Interest Period, Borrower may elect a new LIBOR Rate or the Note Rate. If
Borrower fails to make an election, the advances will bear interest at the LIBOR
Rate plus the Margin for consecutive LIBOR Interest Periods until an election is
made. During any LIBOR Interest Period, Borrower shall continue to make interest
payments as required by the Note.
3. INCREASED COSTS. If, because of the introduction of or any change in, or
because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation
of, any law or regulation, there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of
making, funding, maintaining, or allocating capital to any advance bearing
interest at the LIBOR Rate, including a change in LIBOR Reserve Requirements,
then Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender
additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost.
4. ILLEGALITY. lf, because of the introduction of or any change in, or
because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation
of, any law or regulation, it becomes unlawful for Lender to make, fund, or
maintain any advance at the LIBOR Rate, then Lender's obligation to make, fund,
or maintain any such advance shall terminate and each affected outstanding
advance shall be converted to the Note Rate on the earlier of the termination
date for each LIBOR Interest Period or the date the making, funding, or
maintaining of each such advance becomes unlawful.
5. REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS. If Borrower repays any advance bearing interest
at the LIBOR Rate prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period,
including without limitation a prepayment under paragraphs 3 or 4 above,
Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for any resulting loss or expense
incurred by Lender, including without limitation any loss or expense incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or reemploying deposits from third parties. A statement
as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in
reasonable detail by Lender and submitted by Lender to the Borrower, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.
Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this paragraph shall be made
as though Lender shall have actually funded the relevant advance through
deposits or other funds acquired from third parties for such purpose; provided,
however, that Lender may fund any advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in
any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for
purposes of calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Lender will be
entitled to receive the reimbursement provided for herein regardless of whether
the prepayment is voluntary or involuntary (including demand or acceleration of
the Note upon Borrower's default).
THIS LIBOR ADDENDUM - 1 MONTH IS EXECUTED ON APRIL 14, 2000.
