-3- 

        5.    Exclusivity.  

	 	
a.              The
benefits provided for herein are intended to constitute a minimum, but
          noncumulative, benefit package for Executive in the event of a Covered
          Termination. If Executive has or claims to have any Claims (as defined below),
          Executive may elect to assert such Claims. If, however, Executive does formally
          assert one or more Claims in a writing submitted to Employer, or an appropriate
          body to determine such Claims, for the legal enforcement of such Claims, such
          writing shall constitute an irrevocable waiver and disclaimer of
          Executive’s benefits and rights under this Agreement.  

	 	
b.              As
a condition of receiving the benefits provided for herein, Executive shall be
          required to execute, prior to receiving any benefits hereunder, a release in a
          form reasonably satisfactory to Employer, of all other claims against Employer
          arising out of such Covered Termination (the “Claims”), including but
          not limited to any and all claims arising out of contract (written, oral, or
          implied in law or in fact), tort (including negligent and intentional acts), or
          state, federal or local law (including discrimination on any basis whatsoever);
          a reaffirmation of the Executive’s confidentiality agreement; a
          non-solicitation of other employees; and a non-compete agreement effective
          during the Benefit Period.  

	 	
c.              If
Executive has received benefits under this Agreement for a Covered           Termination
and thereafter asserts any Claims, Executive shall, notwithstanding           any other
agreement to the contrary, return to Employer all benefits received           hereunder
as a condition of being allowed to assert any such Claims. If for any           reason
Executive cannot legally be compelled to return such benefits, Employer           shall
be given, to the extent allowed by law, credit for all amounts received by
          Executive under this Agreement against any other amounts otherwise due to
          Executive arising out of any such Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
          Section 5(c) shall not be construed to limit or otherwise modify the terms of
          any release executed by Executive pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof or otherwise.  

        6.    Other
Termination. In the event Executive’s employment with Employer
          terminates other than pursuant to a Covered Termination, including without
          limitation, a termination for Cause, termination by reason of Executive’s
          death, Disability or retirement or a voluntary termination by Executive,
          Executive shall be entitled to no benefits or rights under this Agreement.  

        7.    Amendment,
Termination and Assignment. This Agreement may be amended,           terminated or
superseded only by a written instrument signed by Executive and           Employer. This
Agreement may not be assigned by Executive. Notwithstanding           anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Employer may unilaterally amend this           Agreement to
make changes that Employer reasonably determines are necessary or           appropriate
for purposes of causing this Agreement to comply with the           requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations           proposed or
promulgated thereunder, so long as Employer makes the same changes           to
corresponding agreements to which other Employer executives are parties.  

-4- 

        8.    Transfer
of Employment. If Executive’s employment is transferred to           any
Affiliate, such Affiliate shall assume Employer’s obligations hereunder
          and following such transfer such Affiliate shall be deemed the           “Employer” for
purposes of this Agreement.  

        9.    Headings. Headings
used herein are for convenience only and shall not           constitute a part of or
affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  

        10.    Governing
Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made           and executed
in the State of Wisconsin and the validity, interpretation and           enforcement
hereof shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of           Wisconsin. In the
event of any dispute arising from or in connection with this           Agreement,
Executive consents and agrees to in personam          jurisdiction
and to venue exclusively in either the Circuit Court for Milwaukee           County,
Wisconsin, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District           of
Wisconsin, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement at Milwaukee, Wisconsin as of
the date first above written.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any of the events described below in this SECTION 6.1 (each an “Event of Default”), the Lender may at its option (1) make all sums of Basic Interest and principal, all Terminal Payments, and any other amounts owing under any Loan Documents immediately due and payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor or any other notices or demands, and (2) give Lender the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law:

 

(A) Borrower shall fail to make any payment of Basic Interest or Terminal Payment when due under this Agreement and the Note, or fail to pay any fees or other charges when due under any Loan Document, and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days or more after the same first becomes due; or an Event of Default as defined in any other Loan Document shall have occurred;

(C) Borrower shall fail to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall commence any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to itself; an involuntary Insolvency Proceeding shall be filed against Borrower, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other similar official, shall be appointed to take possession, custody or control of the properties of Borrower, and such involuntary Insolvency Proceeding, petition or appointment is acquiesced to by Borrower or is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or the dissolution or termination of the business of Borrower;

 

(D) Borrower shall be in default beyond any applicable period of grace or cure under any other agreement involving the borrowing of money, the purchase of property, the advance of credit or any other monetary liability of any kind to Lender or to any Person which results in the acceleration of payment of such obligation in an amount in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000);

 

(E) Any governmental or regulatory authority shall take any judicial or administrative action, that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and which cannot be cured by Borrower within thirty (30) days of such action;

 

(F) Any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or a substantial or material part of the assets of Borrower, including without limitation to any trust or similar entity, shall occur where such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets would constitute a Material Adverse Change;

 

(G) Any judgment(s) singly or in the aggregate in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) shall be entered against Borrower which remain unsatisfied, unvacated or unstayed pending appeal for thirty (30) or more days after entry thereof; or

 

(H) Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the covenant contained in Section 6.1(A)) and the breach of such covenant is not cured within thirty (30) days after the sooner to occur of Borrower’s receipt of notice of such breach from Lender or the date on which such breach first becomes known to any officer of Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such 30 day period and Borrower timely notifies Lender of such fact and Borrower diligently pursues such cure, then the cure period shall be extended to the date requested in Borrower’s notice, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days from the initial breach. 

 

ARTICLE 7 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

7.1 NOTICES. Any notice given by any party under any Loan Document shall be in writing and personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or United States mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, to be promptly confirmed in writing, or other authenticated message, charges prepaid, to the other party’s or parties’ addresses shown on the signature pages hereto. Each party may change the address or facsimile number to which notices, requests and other communications are to be sent by giving written notice of such change to each other party. Notice given by hand delivery shall be deemed received on the date delivered; if sent by overnight courier, on the next business day after delivery to the courier service; if by first class mail, on the third business day after deposit in the U.S. Mail; and if by telecopy, on the date of transmission.

 

7.2 BINDING EFFECT. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer Borrower’s rights or obligations under any Loan Document without Lender’s prior written consent. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with any of the foregoing, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to the Loans, Borrower, or its business; provided that any person who receives such information shall have agreed in writing in advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms reasonably acceptable to Borrower.

 

7.3 NO WAIVER. Any waiver, consent or approval by Lender of any Event of Default or breach of any provision, condition, or covenant of any Loan Document must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent expressly set forth in writing. No waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any later breach or default of the same or any other provision of any Loan Document. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any power, right, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege. Lender has the right at its sole option to continue to accept payments of Basic Interest, Default Interest and/or all or part of the Terminal Payment due under the Loan Documents after
Default, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of said Default or an extension of the Maturity Date unless Lender expressly agrees in writing to such waiver or extension.

 

7.4 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies available under contract or applicable law. 

 

7.5 UNENFORCEABLE PROVISIONS. Any provision of any Loan Document executed by Borrower which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be so only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of any such Loan Document shall remain valid and enforceable. 

 

7.6 ACCOUNTING TERMS. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accounting terms and financial covenants and information shall be determined and prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

 

7.7 INDEMNIFICATION; EXCULPATION. Borrower shall pay and protect, defend and indemnify Lender and Lender’s employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, correspondents, agents and representatives (other than Lender, collectively “Agents”) against, and hold Lender and each such Agent harmless from, all claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) and other amounts incurred by Lender and each such Agent, arising from (i) the matters contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) financing statement of record outstanding at the time of this Agreement, or (iii) any contention that Borrower has failed to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or directive applicable to Borrower’s business; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnification shall not apply to
any of the foregoing incurred solely as the result of Lender’s or any Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all of Borrower’s Obligations to Lender.

 

7.8 REIMBURSEMENT. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements expended or incurred by Lender in any arbitration, mediation, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection with (a) the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, (b) the amendment, interpretation and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) collecting any sum which becomes due Lender under any Loan Document, (d) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (e) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Lender. For the purposes of this section,
attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) contempt proceedings; (2) discovery; (3) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding; (4) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (5) post judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment or appeals. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be payable upon demand by Lender, and if not paid within thirty (30) days of presentation of invoices shall bear interest at the highest applicable Default Rate.

 

7.9 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which, when taken together, shall constitute but one agreement.

 

7.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents are intended by the parties as the final expression of their agreement and therefore contain the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings or agreements concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by Borrower and Lender.

 

7.11 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

7.12 USA PATRIOT ACT. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

7.13 GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.

 

(A) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

 

(B) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF HENNEPIN COUNTY OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY MINNESOTA LAW.

 

7.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION , COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEMS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
 DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
