reliance upon this exemption, the cooperative has filed with the administrator a consent to
service of process under section 80A.88 (or has previously filed such a consent), and has
furnished the administrator with a written general description of the transaction and any
other information that the administrator requires by rule or otherwise; and
(C) a cooperative may, at or about the same time as offers or sales are being
completed in reliance upon the exemptions from registration found in this subpart and as

reliance upon the exemptions found in this subpart will not be considered or deemed a part
of or be integrated with any offer or sale of securities conducted by the cooperative in
reliance upon any other exemption from registration available under this chapter, nor will
offers or sales of securities by the cooperative in reliance upon any other exemption from
registration available under this chapter be considered or deemed a part of or be integrated
