<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;180.0851 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (&#147;WBCL&#148;) requires the Registrant to
indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of a proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding, if such
person was a party to such proceeding because he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant
unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant
and such breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i)&nbsp;a willful failure to deal fairly with the
Registrant or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a
material conflict of interest; (ii)&nbsp;a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director or officer derived an
improper personal profit; or (iv)&nbsp;willful misconduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under Section&nbsp;180.0828 of the WBCL, the directors of the Registrant are not personally liable for
breach of any duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless it is proved that
the director&#146;s conduct constituted one of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification as
described above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;180.0858 of the WBCL provides that subject to certain limitations, the mandatory
indemnification provisions do not preclude any additional right to indemnification or allowance of
expenses that a director or officer may have under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
Registrant, a written agreement between the director or officer and the Registrant, or a resolution
of the Board of Directors or the shareholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Article&nbsp;VIII of the Registrant&#146;s By-Laws contains provisions that generally parallel the
indemnification provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the
WBCL. The Registrant&#146;s By-Laws provide that an officer or director seeking indemnification is
entitled to indemnification if the Registrant determines that he has met the applicable standard of
conduct under the By-Laws. Such determination shall be made: (a)&nbsp;by the Board of Directors by a

indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling

opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 180.0851 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ("WBCL") requires the Registrant to
indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of a proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding, if such
person was a party to such proceeding because he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant
unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant
and such breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with the
Registrant or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a
material conflict of interest; (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an
improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct.
Under Section 180.0828 of the WBCL, the directors of the Registrant are not personally liable for
breach of any duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless it is proved that
the director's conduct constituted one of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification as
described above.
Section 180.0858 of the WBCL provides that subject to certain limitations, the mandatory
indemnification provisions do not preclude any additional right to indemnification or allowance of
expenses that a director or officer may have under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
Registrant, a written agreement between the director or officer and the Registrant, or a resolution
of the Board of Directors or the shareholders.
Article VIII of the Registrant's By-Laws contains provisions that generally parallel the
indemnification provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the
WBCL. The Registrant's By-Laws provide that an officer or director seeking indemnification is
entitled to indemnification if the Registrant determines that he has met the applicable standard of
conduct under the By-Laws. Such determination shall be made: (a) by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c) by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon.
The Registrant's By-Laws also provide that expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a
director or officer in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in
a specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
Registrant as authorized in Article VIII of the By-Laws.
In addition, Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public policy of the State of
Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification, allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent
required or permitted under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the WBCL for any liability
incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state statute, rule or regulation
regulating the offer, sale or purchase of securities.
The officers and directors of the Registrant are also covered by directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy for acts or omissions related to the conduct of their duties, subject to certain
exceptions and limitations specified in the policy. The insurance covers certain liabilities which
may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
