PROMISE TO PAY, MEDICAL CV, INC. FKA CV DYNAMICS, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO
PAY TO ASSOCIATED BANK MINNESOTA ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00) 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 IN ONE PAYMENT OF ALL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL
PLUS ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST ON NOVEMBER 23, 2002. IN ADDITION, BORROWER
WILL PAY REGULAR MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST BEGINNING DECEMBER
23, 2000, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH
MONTH AFTER THAT. The annual interest rate for this Agreement 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. 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 Agreement is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the PRIME
RATE OF INTEREST AS PUBLISHED EACH BUSINESS DAY IN THE MONEY RATES SECTION OF
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest
rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the
term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to
Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's
request. Borrower understands that Lender
Page 2
may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will
not occur more often than each DAY. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS 9.500% PER ANNUM.
THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE
OF 9.500% PER ANNUM. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on
this Agreement 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 payment will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower or 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 UNPAID PORTION OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULE PAYMENT.
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
Agreement or any agreement related to this Agreement, 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 Agreement. (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) Failure to meet the deadlines required in the Year 2000
Compliance Agreement to be Year 2000 Compliant or a reasonable likelihood
that Borrower cannot be Year 2000 Compliant on or before December 31, 1999.
(j) 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
Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement to 2.000 percentage points over the Index. The interest
rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Lender may
hire or pay someone else to help collect this Agreement if Borrower does not
pay. Borrower also 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 and
legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or
vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated
post-judgment collection services. If not prohibited by applicable law,
Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums
provided by law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO LENDER AND ACCEPTED BY
LENDER IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT, BORROWER AGREES UPON
LENDER'S REQUEST TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF HENNEPIN

limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however, all XXX and Xxxxx
accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest
would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this
Agreement against any and all such accounts.

balance owing on this Agreement at any time may be evidenced by endorsements
on this Agreement or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer
print-outs. Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this
Agreement if: (a) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of
this Agreement or any agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with
Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the signing of this
Agreement; (b) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is

liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s),
including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by
Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers,
will not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed

changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by
it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or
release, but also to all such subsequent actions.

stated in writing, no party who signs this Agreement, whether as maker,
guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.
All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any
