<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">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (&#147;WBCL&#148;). Under
Section&nbsp;180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the Registrant is required 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 because he or she was
a director or officer of the Registrant. In all other cases, the Registrant is required by Section
180.0851(2) of the WBCL to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a
proceeding to which such person was a party because he or she was an officer or director of the
Registrant, unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the
Registrant and the 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 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. Section&nbsp;180.0858(1) 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 Registrant&#146;s articles of incorporation, bylaws, a written agreement or a
resolution of the board of directors or shareholders.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain exceptions, a director is not
liable to a corporation, its shareholders, or any person asserting rights on behalf of the
corporation or its shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other monetary
liabilities arising from a breach of, or failure to perform, any duty resulting solely from his or
her status as a director, unless the person asserting liability proves that the breach or failure
to perform constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under
Section&nbsp;180.0851(2) referred to above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Registrant against whom claims are
asserted with respect to the declaration of an improper dividend or other distribution to
shareholders to which the directors assented are entitled to contribution from other directors who
assented to such distribution and from shareholders who knowingly accepted the improper
distribution, as provided therein.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws contain provisions that generally parallel the indemnification
provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the WBCL. Directors
and officers of the Registrant are also covered by directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified in the
policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to which they are parties by
reason of being or having been directors or officers.

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 Act 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ("WBCL"). Under
Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the Registrant is required 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 because he or she was
a director or officer of the Registrant. In all other cases, the Registrant is required by Section
180.0851(2) of the WBCL to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a
proceeding to which such person was a party because he or she was an officer or director of the
Registrant, unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the
Registrant and the 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 his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the director or officer
derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. Section 180.0858(1) 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 Registrant's articles of incorporation, bylaws, a written agreement or a
resolution of the board of directors or shareholders.
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.
Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain exceptions, a director is not
liable to a corporation, its shareholders, or any person asserting rights on behalf of the
corporation or its shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other monetary
liabilities arising from a breach of, or failure to perform, any duty resulting solely from his or
her status as a director, unless the person asserting liability proves that the breach or failure
to perform constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under
Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.
Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Registrant against whom claims are
asserted with respect to the declaration of an improper dividend or other distribution to
shareholders to which the directors assented are entitled to contribution from other directors who
assented to such distribution and from shareholders who knowingly accepted the improper
distribution, as provided therein.
The Registrant's Bylaws contain provisions that generally parallel the indemnification
provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the WBCL. Directors
and officers of the Registrant are also covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance
under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified in the
policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to which they are parties by
reason of being or having been directors or officers.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index following the Signatures page in this registration statement, which Exhibit
Index is incorporated herein by reference.

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
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(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) of this section do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in 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 any 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.
*****
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of
the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2),
(b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule
430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a)
of the
- 3 -
Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in
the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of
prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the
issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall
be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Provided,
however
, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective
date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii)
If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule
430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided,
however
, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of
any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred
to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about the
undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(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
- 4 -
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.
*****
(h) Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 6 of this
registration statement.
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 Act 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
