 ________________ or by other means acceptable to Lender.

 Interest is payable on JANUARY 1, 2002, and on the same day of each
 CONSECUTIVE month thereafter and at maturity.

 Principal is payable FEBRUARY 1, 2003.

 the unpaid balance shall, at the option of Lender, and without notice
 mature and become immediately payable. The unpaid balance shall
 automatically mature and become immediately payable in the event any
 Customer, surety, or guarantor becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other
 insolvency proceedings. Lender's receipt of any payment on this Note after
 the occurrence of an event of default shall not constitute a waiver of the
 default or Lender's rights and remedies upon such default.

 This Note may be prepaid in full or in part without penalty.

                           ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

 This Note is secured by all existing and future security agreements,
 assignments and mortgages between Lender and Customer, between Lender and
 any guarantor of this Note, and between Lender and any other person
 providing collateral security for Customer's obligations, and payment may
 be accelerated according to any of them. Unless a lien would be prohibited
 by law or would render a nontaxable account taxable, Customer grants to
 Lender a security interest and lien in any deposit account Customer may at
 any time have with Lender. Lender may, at any time after an occurrence of
 an event of default, without notice or demand, setoff against any deposit
 balances or other money now or hereafter owed any Customer by Lender any
 amount unpaid under this Note.

 Lender is authorized to make book entries evidencing loans and payments
 and the aggregate of all loans as evidenced by those entries is
 presumptive evidence that those amounts are outstanding and unpaid to
 Lender. Customer covenants that all loans shall be used solely for
 business and not personal purposes.

 Customer agrees to pay all costs of administration and collection before
 and after judgment, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including those
 incurred in successful defense or settlement of any counterclaim brought
 by Customer or incident to any action or proceeding involving Customer
 brought pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code) and waives
 presentment, protest, demand and notice of dishonor. Customer agrees to
 indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors, officers, employees and
 agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, judgments,
 penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising
 directly or indirectly from credit extended under this Note or the
 activities of Customer. This indemnity shall survive payment of this Note.
<PAGE>
 Customer acknowledges that Lender has not made any representations or
 warranties with respect to, and that Lender does not assume any
 responsibility to Customer for, the collectability or enforceability of
 this Note or the financial condition of any Customer. Customer authorizes
 Lender to disclose financial and other information about Customer to
 others. Each Customer has independently determined the collectability and
 enforceability of this Note.

 Without affecting the liability of any Customer, surety, or guarantor,
 Lender may, without notice, accept partial payments, release or impair any
 collateral security for the payment of this Note or agree not to sue any
 party liable on it. Without affecting the liability of any surety or
 guarantor, Lender may from time to time, without notice, renew or extend
 the time for payment. The obligations of all Customers under this Note are
 joint and several.
                                  -8-
 To the extent not prohibited by law, Customer consents that venue for any
 legal proceeding relating to collection of this Note shall be, at Lender's
 option, the county in which Lender has its principal office in this state,
 the county in which any Customer resides or the county in which this Note
 was executed. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
 the internal laws of Wisconsin.

 This Note is intended by Customer and Lender as a final expression of this
 Note and as a complete and exclusive statement of its terms, there being
 no conditions to the enforceability of this Note. This Note may not be
 supplemented or modified except in writing, except as set forth in Exhibit
 A attached hereto.

                     PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFER DISCLOSURE

 When Customer authorizes Lender to obtain payment of amounts becoming due
 Lender by. initiating charges to Customer's account, Customer also
 requests and authorizes remitting financial institution to alert and honor
 same and to charge same to Customer's account. This authorization will
 remain in effect until Customer notifies Lender and the remitting
 financial institution in writing to terminate this authorization and
 Lender and remitting financial institution have a reasonable time to act
 on the termination. NOTICE OF TRANSFERS VARYING IN AMOUNT: If Lender and
 remitting financial institution are not the same, Customer is an
 individual, the account was established primarily for personal, family or
 household purposes and the regular payments may vary in amount, Customer
 has the right to receive a notice from Lender 10 days before each payment
 of how much the payment will be; however, by signing this Note, Customer
 elects to receive notice only when current payment would differ by more
 than 100% from previous payment.
                                  -9-
                    EXHIBIT A TO REVOLVING BUSINESS NOTE

 This Note bears interest on the unpaid principal balance before maturity
 (whether upon demand, acceleration or otherwise) at an annual rate equal
 to the adjusted Interbank Rate (as defined below) plus 275 basis points,
 which rate will change as of the first day of each third calendar month.
 If the first day of any third calendar month is not a regular Business
 Day, the Adjusted Interbank Rate shall be established on the preceding
 Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday,
 Sunday, public holiday or other day when commercial banks in Wisconsin are
 authorized or required by law to close.
<PAGE>
 Customer may, from time to time and without premium or penalty, borrow and
 repay the Loans in whole or in part PROVIDED requests for advances or
 repayments occur prior to 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day.

 "Adjusted Interbank Rate" means an annual rate for all loans evidenced by
 this Note (the "Loans") (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
 1/100 of 1%), determined pursuant to the following formula:

                    Adjusted Interbank Rate   = INTERBANK RATE
                                                1 - Interbank Reserve
                                                Requirement

 "Interbank Rate" means with respect to any Loan, the rate per annum equal
 to the rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%)
 quoted as the rate at which dollar deposits in immediately available funds
 are offered on the first day of each third calendar month in the interbank
 Eurodollar market on or about 9:00 A.M., Milwaukee time, for a period of
 one (1) calendar month. If the first day of any third calendar month is
 not a regular Business Day, the Interbank Rate shall be established on the
 preceding Business Day. Lender currently uses the Knight Ridder
 Information Service to provide information with respect to the interbank
 Eurodollar market, but Lender may change the service providing such
 information at any time. Each such determination shall be conclusive and
 binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of demonstrable error.

 "Interbank Reserve Requirement" means a percentage (expressed as a
 decimal) equal to the aggregate reserve requirements in effect on the
 first day of each calendar month (including all basic, supplemental,
 marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional
 adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements during each
 calendar month) specified for "Eurocurrency Liabilities" under Regulation
 D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any other
 regulation of the Board of Governors which prescribes reserve requirements
 applicable to "Eurocurrency Liabilities" as presently defined in
 Regulation D, as then in effect, as applicable to the class or classes of
 banks of which Lender is a member. As of the date of this Note, the
 Interbank Reserve Requirement is 0%.
                                  -10-
 INCREASED COSTS.  If, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the
 Federal Reserve System, or the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
 regulation of general application, or any change therein, or any
 interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
 central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
 administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or
 directive of general application (whether or not having the force of law)
 of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

          (a)  shall subject Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with
 respect to the Loans, the Note or its obligation to make Loans, or shall
 change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of the principal of or
 interest on the Loans or any other amounts due under this Note in respect
 of the Loans or its obligation to make Loans (except for changes in the
 rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender); or
<PAGE>
          (b)  shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
 (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of
 Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve
 included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to this Note),
 special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
 for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender, or

          (c)  shall affect the amount of capital required or expected to
 be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender, or

          (d)  shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting the
 Loam, the Note or its obligation to make Loans;

 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in
 the case of Regulation D referred to above, to impose a cost on) Lender of
 making or maintaining any Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum
 received or receivable by Lender under this Note with respect thereto,
 then within ten (10) days after demand by Lender (which demand shall be
 accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand),
 Customer shall pay directly to Lender such additional amount or amounts as
 will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.
 Determinations by Lender for purposes of this section of the effect of any
 change in applicable laws or regulations or of any interpretations,
 directives or requests thereunder on its costs of making or maintaining
 Loans or sums receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional
 amounts required to compensate Lender in respect thereof, shall be
 conclusive, absent manifest error.

 DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE OR INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE.

          (a)  If Lender is advised that deposits in dollars (in the
 applicable amount) are not being offered to banks in the relevant market
 for a period of (90) ninety days, or Lender otherwise determines (which
 determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that by
                                  -11-
 reason of circumstances affecting to interbank Eurodollar market adequate
 and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable
 Interbank Rate; or

          (b)  If lenders similar to Lender have determined that the
 Interbank Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
 lenders of maintaining or funding loans based on the Interbank Rate, or
 that the making or funding of such Interbank Rate loans has become
 impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of the Note
 which in the opinion of Lender materially affects such Interbank Rate
 loans;

 then so long as such circumstances shall continue, Lender shall not be
 under any obligation to make or continue Loans based an the Interbank Rate
 and on the first Business Day of the next calendar month, such Loans shall
 bear interest at the prime rate of Interest adopted by Lender as its base
 rate for interest rate determinations from time to time which may or may
 not be the lowest rate charged by Lender ("Prime Rate") (with the rate
 changing as and when that Prime Rate changes) plus 0%. If such an

 CHANGE IN LAW RENDERING INTERBANK RATE LOANS UNLAWFUL.  In the event that
 any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or
 regulations, or any change in the interpretation of applicable laws or
 regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the
 administration thereof, should make it unlawful for any lender to make,
 maintain or fund Loans based on the Interbank Rate, then: (a) Lender shall
 promptly notify Customer, (b) the obligation of Lender to make or continue
 Loans based on the Interbank Rate shall be suspended for the duration of
 such unlawfulness, and (c) on the first Business Day of the following
 calendar month, such Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 0%,
 with the interest rate to change on each day that the Prime Rate changes.

                             STOCK OPTION PLAN
                         ADOPTED DECEMBER 31, 2001

     1.   PURPOSE.  This Plan, which shall be known as the"Plastics Mfg.
 Company Stock Option Plan" and is hereinafter referred to as "the Plan",
 is intended as an incentive and to encourage stock ownership by certain
 key employees of Plastics Mfg. Company ("the Company") and employees of
 affiliated companies known as the MGS Manufacturing Group in order to
 provide such employees with a proprietary interest or to increase their
 proprietary interest in the Company's success and to encourage them to
 remain in the employ of the Company or affiliated companies. It is
 intended that this purpose be effected through the granting of stock
 options as provided herein.

     2.   ADMINISTRATION.

          (a)  The Plan shall be administered by a committee appointed by
 the Board of Directors of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the
 "Committee'). The Committee shall consist of not less than three members
 of the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, from time
 to time, remove members from, or add members to, the Committee. Vacancies
 on the Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by the Board of
 Directors. The Committee shall select one of its members as chairman and
 shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. A
 majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. All
 determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its
 members. Any decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by
 all of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had
 been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held.

          (b)  The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of
 the Plan, from time to time to establish such rules an regulations as it
 may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, and to
 make such determinations under, and such interpretations of, and to take
 such steps in connection with, the Plan or the stock options granted
 thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Any recommendation,
 nomination or report by the Committee to the Board of Directors under the
 Plan shall be in writing.

     3.   ELIGIBILITY. Options may be granted to such key executive
 employees of the Company and employees of affiliated companies known as
 the MGS Manufacturing Group as the Board of Directors shall select from
 time to time among those nominated by the Committee. No director who is
 not an officer or employee of the Company or an affiliated company shall
 be eligible to receive Options under the Plan. Any individual may hold
 more than one Option.

     4.   STOCK. The stock to be subject to Options under the Plan shall be
 shares of the Company's common stock ("stock"), and may be either
 authorized and unissued or held in the treasury of the Company. The
                                  -1-
 aggregate number of shares of stock for which Options may be granted under
<PAGE>
 the Plan shall not exceed 500,000 shares. Such number of shares is subject
 to adjustment in accordance with the terms of paragraph 7 hereof. The shares
 involved in the unexercised portion of any terminated or expired Options
 under the Plan may again be subjected to Options under the Plan.

     5.   PRICE. In the case of each Option granted under the Plan, the
 Option price shall be the fair market value of stock as determined by the
 Committee on the date of grant of such Option.

     6.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  All Options granted pursuant to
 the Plan shall be authorized by the Board of Directors and shall be
 evidenced by Stock Option Agreements in writing ("Stock Option
 Agreements") in such form as from time to time the Committee shall
 determine. Each Stock Option Agreement shall be subject to the Plan and,
 in addition to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may deem
 advisable, shall provide in substance as follows:

          (a)  NUMBER AND PRICE OF SHARES.  Each Stock Option Agreement
 shall specify the number of shares of stock as to which the Option is
 granted and the price per share thereof.

          (b)  OPTION PERIOD.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth
 the period for which such Option is granted, which shall not exceed 5
 years from the date such Option is granted (the "Option Period") and shall
 provide that such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of
 the Option Period.

          (c)  MANNER OF EXERCISE.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall
 provide that any Option therein granted shall be exercisable during the
 Option Period, in whole or from time to time in part, but that it shall be
 exercisable only by giving in each case written notice of exercise
 accompanied by tender of full payment of the purchase price.

          (d)  NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  No Option shall be
 transferable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
 and distribution. During the lifetime of an Optionee, the Option shall be
 exercisable only by such Optionee.

          (e)  WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.  It shall be a condition to the
 obligation of the Company to issue or transfer shares of stock upon
 exercise of the Option that the Optionee pay to the Company, upon demand,
 such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of
 satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state or local income taxes
 incurred by reason of the exercise of such Option or the transfer of
 shares thereon. If the amount requested is not paid, the Company may
 refuse to issue or transfer shares of stock upon exercise of the Option.
                                  -2-
          (f)  INVESTMENT PURPOSE.  Upon issuance of stock, the recipient
 of such stock shall represent that the shares of stock are taken for
 investment and not resale and make such other representations as may be
 necessary to qualify the issuance of the shares as exempt from the
 Securities Act of 1933 or to permit registration of the shares and shall
 represent that the participant shall not dispose of such shares in
 violation of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company reserves the right to
 place a legend on any stock certificate issued pursuant to the Plan to
 assure compliance with this subparagraph (h). No shares of stock shall be
<PAGE>
 required to be distributed until the Company shall have taken such action,
 if any, as is then required to comply with the provisions of the
 Securities Act of 1933 or any other then applicable securities law.

          (g)  ADJUSTMENTS.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall provide for
 adjustment of the number and kind of shares under option and the purchase
 price per share in the manner provided in paragraph 7 of the Plan.

     7.   ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF CHANGE IN STOCK.  In the event of any
 change in the outstanding stock of the Company by reason of stock
 dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations,
 split-ups, combinations or exchanges of shares and the like, the number
 and kind of shares which thereafter may be Optionee and sold under the
 Plan, the number and kind of shares under option in outstanding Stock
 Option Agreements pursuant to the Plan and the purchase price per share
 thereof shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change. The
 determination of the Committee as to any adjustment shall be final and
 conclusive.

     8.   GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.  The Plan, and the grant and exercise of
 Options thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver
 shares of stock under such Options, shall be subject to all applicable
 federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by
 any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Company
 shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates
 for shares of stock prior to (a) the admission of such shares to listing
 on any stock exchange on which the stock may then be listed, and (b) the
 completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under
 any state or federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental
 body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be
 necessary or advisable.

     9.   RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.  An Optionee or a transferee of any
 Option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any share
 covered by the Option until the Optionee or transferee shall have become
 the holder of record of such share, and no adjustment shall be made for
 dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
 property) or distributions or other rights in respect of such share for
 which the record date is prior to the date on which the Optionee or
 transferee shall have become the holder of record thereof.

     10.  AMENDMENTS.  The Board of Directors, without further approval of
 the stockholders, may, from time to time, amend the Plan in such respects
 as the board may deem advisable; provided, however, that no amendment
                                  -3-
 shall become effective without prior approval of the stockholders which
 would increase the maximum number of shares for which Options may be
 granted in the aggregate under the Plan. No amendment shall, without the
 participant's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations
 under any Option theretofore granted to him under the Plan.

     11.  TERM OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall become effective on the date of
 its approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the
 Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the
 shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall terminate on December 31,
 2011, or on such earlier date as may be determined by the Board of
<PAGE>
 Directors. In any case, termination shall be deemed to be effective as of
 the close of business on the day of termination. Termination of the Plan,
 however, shall not affect the rights of Optionees under Options
 theretofore granted to them, and all unexpired Options and stock
 appreciation rights shall continue in force and operation after
 termination of the Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their
 own terms and conditions.

     12.  FINALITY OF DETERMINATIONS.  Each determination, interpretation,
 or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan by
 the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be final and shall be
 binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons, including,
 but without limitation thereto, the Company, the stockholders, the
 Committee and each of the members thereof and the Directors, officers, and
 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Optioneeus, and their
 respective successors in interest.
