2.       Miscellaneous.

         (a)      Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the
                  corporate laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect
                  to any choice of law provisions that might otherwise refer
                  construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive
                  law of another jurisdiction.

         (b)      Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
                  Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
                  effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
                  of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under
                  applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
                  the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
                  invalidating the remainder of this Amendment.

         (c)      Effect on the Employment Agreement. Except as it is expressly
                  modified by this Amendment, the Employment Agreement remains
                  in full force and effect.
