For purposes hereof, the “Senior Debt” shall mean the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the indebtedness of Buyer, regardless of whether incurred on, before or after the date hereof, for money borrowed from Fifth Third Bank (“Senior Lender”), and all renewals, extensions, modifications and refinancings of any such indebtedness (but excluding indebtedness of others guaranteed by Buyer and obligations of Buyer under capital leases). “Senior Debt” shall include the amount of any payments made to any holder of any Senior Debt or another by or on behalf of Buyer which are recovered from any holder of any Senior Debt by a trustee, receiver, creditor or other party pursuant to applicable federal or state law. Company hereby agrees to sign any subordination agreements or file any UCC amendments requested by any holder of Senior Debt, and if Company refuses to sign such agreements or file such amendments upon request by such a holder of Senior Debt, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate Section 3.6 and Section 3.7 of this Agreement and any payment obligations of Buyer under Section 3.6 and Section 3.7 shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) so long as Buyer has not received from Senior Lender a written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such capitalized term is defined in the Credit Agreement) under Section 11.1 (Nonpayment of Obligations), Section 11.3 (Nonperformance), Section 11.7 (Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc.), Section 11.9 (Change in Control) or Section 11.11 (Rate Management Obligation) of that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 27, 2011 by and between Buyer and Senior Lender, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Other Loan Documents dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”), Buyer may make, and Company may receive, payment of the Contingent Hold Back Purchase Price as and when due pursuant to Section 3.6, above, and payment of the Earn-Out Amounts as and when due pursuant to Section 3.7(e), Section 3.7(f) and/or Section 3.7(g), above, and (ii) in the event that Buyer receives from Senior Lender a written notice of the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Company’s right to receive payment of the Contingent Hold Back Purchase Price and the Earn-Out Amounts pursuant to clause (i), above, shall be reinstated if and when Buyer cures or

Senior Lender waives such Event of Default in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

Resolution by CPA Firm.

(a)

Resolution by CPA Firm. If Buyer and Company are unable to resolve a dispute over an Earn-Out Notice of Objection within twenty (20) calendar days after Company’s delivery of such Earn-Out Notice of Objection to Buyer, then at any time thereafter Buyer or Company may elect to have the disputed matter resolved by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which Buyer and Company mutually agree (the “CPA Firm”), who shall, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, determine on the basis of the standards set forth in Section 3.7, and only with respect to the remaining accounting-related differences so submitted to the CPA Firm (and not by independent review), whether and to what extent, if any, an Earn-Out Amount as derived from an Earn-Out Statement requires adjustment, or what portion of the Purchase Price should be allocated to each of the Purchased Assets. In connection with the engagement of the CPA Firm, each of Buyer and Company shall execute reasonable engagement letters and supply such other documents and information as the CPA Firm reasonably requires. Without limiting the Parties’ obligations under this Section 3.10, each of Buyer and Company may submit such data and information to the CPA Firm as such Party deems appropriate. The CPA Firm shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission of the dispute to it and, in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. In resolving a dispute over an Earn-Out Notice of Objection, the CPA Firm shall utilize the criteria set forth in Section 3.7.

Payroll Tax. The Parties agree that, with respect to Active Transferred Employees who accept employment with Buyer as of the Closing Date, they respectively meet the definition of “predecessor” and “successor” as defined in Revenue Procedure 2004 53.

Each Party shall cooperate in good faith to adopt similar procedures under applicable state, municipal, county, local, foreign or other Laws.

(c)

Termination Benefits. Buyer shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay or cause to be paid, severance payments and other employment or engagement termination benefits, if any, to Active Transferred Employees who become employees of Buyer and become entitled to such payments or benefits by reason of any events occurring after the Closing Date. If any action on the part of Company or any Shareholder on or prior to the Closing Date, or if the sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or if the failure by Buyer to hire as an employee of Buyer any employee or independent contractor of Company, shall directly or indirectly result in any Liability (other than an Assumed Liability) (i) for severance payments or other employment or engagement termination benefits, or (ii) by virtue of the WARN Act, any “plant closing” or other Law, then such Liability shall be the sole responsibility of, and shall be paid by, Company and Shareholders.

(d)

Consent to Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company releases, waives and discharges, and agrees not to sue or otherwise pursue, any and all Claims, known or unknown, that Company may have against Buyer (or any of Buyer’s Affiliates) and/or any Active Transferred Employee arising out of or relating to any such Active Transferred Employee’s employment with Buyer post-Closing, including all Claims arising under any Contract containing any non-competition,

confidentiality or similar provisions, except to the extent such Claims do not relate to the Business in any manner whatsoever.

6.3.

6.5.

Bulk Sales Compliance. Unless compliance with this Section 6.5 is waived by Buyer, Company and Shareholders shall cooperate with Buyer in complying with all provisions of the bulk sales or bulk transfer Laws of all states having jurisdiction, in such a way as to provide Buyer the greatest measure of protection against the creditors of Company allowable under all such Laws.

Noncompetition. Subject to the Closing, and as an inducement to Buyer to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and to preserve the goodwill associated with the Business, Company and each Shareholder agrees that, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, neither Company nor such Shareholder will, directly or indirectly:

separated from his or her employment or other relationship with Buyer and each of its Affiliates for a period of six (6) consecutive months; or

(d)

Engage in any practice the purpose of which is to evade the provisions of this covenant not to compete; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the securities of any Person that is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market. The geographic scope of this covenant not to compete shall extend throughout the United States and to any foreign countries that Buyer markets the Business during the five (5) years following the Closing Date. Buyer may sell, assign or otherwise transfer this covenant not to compete, in whole or in part, to any Person that purchases all or any portion of the Business, Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities.

Nothing in this Agreement reduces any obligation of Company or any Shareholder to comply with applicable Laws or Orders relating to trade secrets, confidential information and unfair competition.

(b)

Legal Obligation to Disclose. If Company or any Shareholder is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in legal proceedings, interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information at any time after the Closing, then such disclosing Party shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such request or requirement to enable Buyer (i) to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, (ii) to consult with the disclosing Party with respect to steps by the disclosing Party to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, and/or (iii) to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 6.7. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver under this Section 6.7, the disclosing Party is nonetheless, in the reasonable written opinion of its, his or her counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, then the disclosing Party may disclose such Confidential Information to the tribunal, provided that the disclosing Party shall use its, his or her best efforts to obtain an Order, or such other reasonable assurance as Buyer may designate, that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such

portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed. The disclosing Party shall not be liable under this Section 6.7 for the disclosure to such tribunal to the extent such disclosure is compelled (it being understood, however, that if such disclosure was caused or resulted from a previous disclosure by the disclosing Party not permitted under this Section 6.7, then the other terms and provisions of this Section 6.7 shall continue in full force and effect and shall be enforceable by Buyer as to such disclosure or disclosures not permitted under this Section 6.7 that resulted in the compelled disclosure).

(c)

If, at any time after the Closing, Company or any Shareholder discovers that it, he or she is in possession of any records containing any Confidential Information, then the discovering Party shall immediately deliver such records to Buyer.

Company shall provide Buyer with not less than three (3) months’ prior written notice of any such transaction involving Company.

6.9.

(a)

Use of Company Accounts; Excluded Liabilities. Company shall leave an aggregate amount of cash in Company’s operating account equal to the sum of (i) an amount sufficient to cover all outstanding, un-cleared checks or drafts from such account as of the Closing Date, plus (ii) an amount sufficient to cover all Excluded Liabilities that are liquidated in amount as of the Closing Date (including, without limitation, all outstanding accounts payable of Company incurred prior to the Closing Date for which Company has been invoiced prior to the Closing Date), as such liquidated Excluded Liabilities are reflected on Exhibit 6.9(a). Except with respect to wages, payroll taxes, salaries, accrued vacation and earned incentive bonuses, the payment schedule for which shall be governed by Section 6.2(a), above, Company shall, on or before the third (3^rd) business day after the Closing Date, pay in full all such liquidated Excluded Liabilities.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that Buyer shall make any payments pursuant to the foregoing clause (B), Buyer shall make such payments on behalf of Company for administrative purposes only, and Buyer shall not in any way be deemed to be assuming, or to be an obligor of, any of such Excluded Liabilities. In the event that any such invoice or other request for payment relates to both pre-Closing and post-Closing periods, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Company shall be responsible for the pre-Closing

periods and Buyer shall be responsible for the post-Closing periods and that Company and Buyer shall pay the applicable portion of such invoice or other request for payment on a pro rata basis.

During such ninety (90) day period, (i) Buyer shall not be obligated to use any extraordinary efforts to assist in the collection of the Excluded Receivables but shall handle the collection of such Excluded Receivables in a manner that is consistent with the way in which Buyer handles the collection of its own accounts receivable, and (ii) Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Company, Shareholders and their respective legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors reasonable access, during normal business hours, to Buyer’s books and records relating to Buyer’s collection of the Excluded Receivables.

INDEMNIFICATION.

7.1.

By Company and Shareholders. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 7, Shareholders, jointly and severally, and Company, jointly and severally with Shareholders, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from: (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Company or any Shareholder contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant of Company or any Shareholder contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement (regardless of whether such breach is deemed “material”); (c) any of the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities; (d) any Liability for Taxes of or against Company for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for that portion of all tax periods that include the Closing Date up to and including the Closing Date, in each case, other than the Assumed Liabilities; (e) any Environmental Liabilities; or (f) any Successor Liabilities.

7.2.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 7, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders (including Shareholders) directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any Company Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any covenant of Buyer to make any payment to Company contained herein (regardless of whether such breach is deemed “material”); or (c) any of the Assumed Liabilities.

7.3.

Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The following provisions shall apply to any Claim subject to indemnification that is Litigation filed or instituted by, or the making of any

claim or demand by, any third party, including any Governmental Entity (a “Third Party Claim”):

(a)

Notice and Defense. The Party or Parties seeking to be indemnified (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Party or Parties from whom indemnification is sought (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (and in any event written notice delivered within sixty (60) calendar days after the receipt of service or other notice of the commencement of any suit, action or arbitration proceeding) of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may undertake and control the defense and/or settlement of the Third Party Claim, by representatives chosen by it, if the Indemnifying Party admits that it has an indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to the Third Party Claim, in which case such assumption shall constitute the Indemnifying Party’s undertaking to pay directly all costs, expenses, damages, judgments, awards, penalties and assessments incurred in connection therewith. With the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim without admitting that it has an indemnification obligation hereunder. Failure to give, or unreasonable delay in giving, notice of the Third Party Claim shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duties or obligations under this Article 7, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending the Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any the Third Party Claim, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(b)

Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of the Third Party Claim, fails to defend the Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to the Third Party Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party’s defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment.

(c)

Indemnified Party’s Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that the Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to the Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written prior consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to the Third Party, that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.

7.4.

Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the Indemnified Party any amount due under this Article 7. Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and/or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination, settlement or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment. If the Indemnifying Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of any required security or bond to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement, against the Person that made the Third Party Claim.

7.5.

Limitations on Indemnification. Except for any fraud or willful or knowing breach or misrepresentation, as to which claims may be brought without limitation as to time or amount:

(a)

Time Limitation. No claim or action shall be brought under this Article 7 for breach of a representation or warranty after the lapse of two (2) years after the Closing Date. Regardless of the foregoing, however, or any other provision of this Agreement:

(ii)

Any claim or action brought for breach of any representation or warranty made in or pursuant to Section 4.6 (Tax Matters) and Section 4.17 (Employee Benefit Plans) may be brought at any time until the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the underlying obligation is barred by the applicable period of limitation under federal and state Laws relating thereto (as such period may be extended by waiver).

(iii)

Any claim or action made by a Party by delivering notice to the other Party requesting resolution of a Dispute relating to a breach of a representation or warranty under Article 9 prior to the termination of the survival period for such claim or action shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of such survival period.

(iv)

If any act, omission, disclosure or failure to disclose shall form the basis for a claim or action for breach of more than one representation or warranty, and such claims have different periods of survival hereunder, then the termination

of the survival period of one claim or action shall not affect a Party’s right to make a claim or action based on the breach of representation or warranty still surviving.

(b)

Basket. Except with respect to Claims (i) for breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Corporate Matters), Section 4.2 (Shareholders), Section 4.3 (Authority), Section 4.6 (Tax Matters), Section 4.12(a) (Marketable Title), Section 4.17 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 4.19 (Trade Rights) and Section 4.24 (No Brokers or Finders) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), and (ii) for fraud or willful or knowing breaches of representations or warranties (as to which the limitations in this Section 7.5(b) shall not apply), a Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 for breaches of representations and/or warranties, Environmental Liabilities and/or Successor Liabilities unless the aggregate of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Article 7 for breaches of representations and/or warranties, Environmental Liabilities and/or Successor Liabilities exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Indemnification Threshold”), and then only for the amount by which such aggregate indemnification obligations exceed such Indemnification Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5(b) shall not apply to any indemnification obligations arising under clauses (b)-(d) of Section 7.1.

(c)

Caps.

(i)

Except with respect to Claims (A) for breaches of Fundamental Representations, and (B) for fraud or willful or knowing breaches of representations of warranties (as to which the limitations in this Section 7.5(c)(i) shall not apply), the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Claims for breaches of representations or warranties under this Article 7 for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties collectively can recover shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

(ii)

Except with respect to Claims for fraud (as to which the limitations in this Section 7.5(c)(ii) shall not apply), the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Claims for breaches of representations or warranties (whether Fundamental Representations or otherwise) under this Article 7 for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties collectively can recover shall not exceed the total Purchase Price paid by Buyer under Article 3.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth above in this Section 7.5(c) shall not apply to any indemnification obligations arising under clauses (b)-(f) of Section 7.1.

(d)

General. The limitations set forth in this Section 7.5 do not in any way limit the obligation of any Party to indemnify the other Party or Parties from and against any Claim arising from any breach of a covenant, even if such breach also constitutes a breach of a representation or warranty. Without limitation, the obligations of Company

and Shareholders to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Excluded Liability shall be unaffected by the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5.

7.6.

No Waiver. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not constitute a waiver by any Party of its rights to indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has knowledge of the basis of the Claim at or prior to the Closing, and regardless of whether such breach, violation or failure is deemed to be “material.” No representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or in any schedule or exhibit attached hereto or any document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto shall merge into the deeds, bill of sale, assignments, documents, agreements and instruments to be delivered at the Closing.

7.7.

Set-Off. If Company or Shareholders shall fail to pay any amounts that they are obligated to pay to Buyer under this Agreement, including any amounts that they are obligated to pay pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 7, then Buyer may, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to it, upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Company, set-off all or any portion of such amounts against any amounts due and owing from Buyer to Company or any Shareholder under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section 3.6 and Section 3.7). Any amounts so set-off shall be deemed to have been paid to Company and/or such Shareholder as of the date on which written demand for payment of the amount in question was given to Company. Buyer shall only exercise its rights of set-off hereunder in good faith.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

9.1.

Enforcement. This Article 9 shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement.

9.2.

Negotiation. Subject to Section 9.6(c), if there is any dispute or disagreement between or among any of the Parties as to the interpretation of any provision of, or the performance of obligations under, this Agreement (except for such disputes or disagreements regarding the Purchase Price Allocation or the calculation of any Earn-Out Amount, which shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to Section 3.10) (a “Dispute”), then the Dispute, upon the written request of Buyer or Company, shall be referred to representatives of the Parties for decision, each Party being represented by a senior executive officer who has no direct operational responsibility for the transactions contemplated hereby and who has the authority to resolve the Dispute (collectively, the “Representatives”). The Representatives shall promptly meet in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be considered confidential settlement discussions, and none of the Parties may offer into evidence, mention or otherwise use statements made in connection with such negotiations in any subsequent alternative dispute resolution proceeding or Litigation. No arbitrator, including the Tribunal, shall have the authority to consider any such statements. If, after the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after Buyer or Company delivered the above-described written request for referral, either Buyer or Company believes that the Dispute cannot be resolved by the Representatives through negotiation, then such Party may submit the Dispute to arbitration under Section 9.3 by filing a demand for arbitration with any nationally recognized dispute resolution firm upon which Buyer and Company mutually agree in writing (or, if agreement cannot be reached, with JAMS or the American Arbitration Association, at the election of the Party that delivered the above-described written request for referral) and delivery a copy of such demand for arbitration to the other, or such other nationally recognized alternative dispute resolution firm upon which Buyer and Company mutually agree in writing (the “ADR Firm”), and delivering a copy of such demand for arbitration to the other.

9.3.

Arbitration.

(a)

Rules. Any Dispute submitted to arbitration under this Section 9.3 shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the ADR Firm under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the ADR Firm in effect as of the date the demand for

arbitration is made, or such other alternative rules upon which Buyer and Company mutually agree in writing (the “Arbitration Rules”). Service of any matters in reference to such arbitration shall be given in the manner described in Section 10.9. All proceedings related to such arbitration shall be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.

(b)

Arbitrators. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Tribunal”), each of whom shall have sufficient technical background (whether gained through education, work experience or otherwise) to enable the arbitrator to comprehend any technical material that is relevant to the subject of the arbitration. If the Parties cannot agree upon the identity of the arbitrators within ten (10) business days after the date on which a demand for arbitration is filed with the ADR Firm, then any remaining arbitrators shall be selected by the ADR Firm in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. If the Parties disagree as to whether an arbitrator meets the criteria for arbitrators under this Section 9.3, then the ADR Firm shall determine whether such criteria are met.

(c)

Procedures; No Appeal. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Arbitration Rules, the following procedural rules shall apply to any arbitration proceeding hereunder, unless the parties agree in writing to waive or alter the procedural rules. The Tribunal shall allow such discovery as it determines appropriate under the circumstances and shall resolve the Dispute as expeditiously as practicable, and if reasonably practicable, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the selection of the arbitrators. The Tribunal shall give the Parties written notice of the decision, with the legal and factual reasons therefor set out, and shall have thirty (30) calendar days thereafter to reconsider and modify such decision if any Party so requests within ten (10) calendar days after the decision. Thereafter, the decision of the Tribunal shall be final, binding and nonappealable with respect to all Parties, including Parties who failed or refused to participate in the arbitration process.

(d)

Authority. The Tribunal shall have authority to award relief under legal or equitable principles, including interim or preliminary relief.

(e)

Entry of Judgment. Judgment upon the decision and award rendered by the Tribunal may be entered in the courts described in Section 10.5. Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to implement the decision and award rendered by the Tribunal.

(f)

Confidentiality. All proceedings under this Section 9.3, and all evidence given or discovered pursuant hereto, shall be maintained in confidence by all Parties and by the Tribunal.

9.4.

Continued Performance. The fact that the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Article 9 shall have been or may be invoked shall not excuse any Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement, and during the pendency of any such procedures, all Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other documents and instruments entered into by the Parties pursuant hereto in good faith.

9.5.

Tolling. All applicable periods of limitation shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Article 9 are pending. The Parties shall take such action, if any, required to effect such tolling.

9.6.

Other Proceedings Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9:

(a)

Equitable Relief. Buyer may, in its discretion, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable relief as provided in Section 10.11. Such an application shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to compel negotiation or arbitration pursuant to this Article 9.

(b)

Necessary Parties. No Party shall be required to submit to arbitration hereunder unless all Persons who are not Parties, but who are necessary parties to a complete resolution of the controversy, submit to the arbitration process on the same terms as the Parties.

(c)

Exclusivity; Significant Claims. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in a written agreement between Buyer and Company, this Article 9 sets forth the exclusive method of resolving any Dispute; provided, however, that this Article 9 shall not apply with respect to any Dispute where a reasonable, good faith estimate of the amount in controversy, excluding attorneys’ fees and expenses and punitive damages, exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

10.

MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1.

Disclosure Schedule. Company and Shareholders have prepared the disclosure schedules attached to this Agreement (individually, a “Schedule” and collectively, the “Disclosure Schedule”) and delivered them to Buyer on the date hereof. No representation or warranty shall be qualified or otherwise affected by any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule unless such representation or warranty is expressly qualified by reference to a Schedule, and any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to which such fact or item may reasonably apply so long as such disclosure is in sufficient detail to enable a reasonable Person to identify the other article or section of this Agreement to which such information is responsive. Any statement or information disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by Company or Shareholders, nor shall they imply, that any such matter, alone or in combination, is material for purposes of this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedule shall not vary, change or alter the language of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, other than creating exceptions thereto which are directly responsive to the language of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

10.2.

Publicity. Each Shareholder and Company agrees that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by such Party without the prior consent of Buyer, except as such release or announcement may, in the judgment of the releasing Party, be required by Law or Order or the rules or regulations of any U.S. securities exchange, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement shall allow Buyer reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, Company and Shareholders shall provide Buyer access to, and facilitate meetings with, the Active Transferred Employees for the purpose of making announcements relating to, and preparing for the consummation of, the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Shareholder and Company agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential, except to the extent required by applicable Law or Order or for financial reporting purposes and except that such Parties may disclose such terms to their respective accountants and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses.

10.3.

Assignment. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 6.6, none of the Parties may assign, transfer or otherwise encumber this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without the prior written consent of the other Party or Parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and without legal effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to assign, transfer and pledge this Agreement and its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its financing sources (including, without limitation, Fifth Third Bank) as collateral without the consent of any other Party; provided, however, that any such assignment, transfer or pledge shall be made subject to Company’s rights of reinstatement provided for in clause (ii) of Section 3.7(h), above.

10.4.

Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, permitted successors and permitted assigns. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any Person any right relating in any way to employment or terms of employment with Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

10.5.

Law Governing Agreement; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Wisconsin, excluding any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Article 9, each Party stipulates that any Dispute shall be commenced and prosecuted in its entirety in, and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and proper venue of, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, or, if and only if no basis exists for the assertion of federal subject matter jurisdiction, and each Party consents to personal and jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waives and relinquishes all right to attack the suitability or convenience of such venue or forum by reason of their present or future domiciles, or by any other reason. The Parties acknowledge that all directions issued by the forum court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. Each Party waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any Dispute.

10.6.

Severability. If the Tribunal or any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Section 6.6 and Section 6.7, are illegal or excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, then such provisions shall be construed so that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such illegal or overly broad provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of any person or entity, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in the applicable jurisdiction.

10.7.

Amendment and Modification. Buyer and the Company may amend, modify and supplement this Agreement in such manner as may be agreed upon by them in writing; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its discretion, require the execution of any such amendment, modification or supplement by Company and all Shareholders.

10.8.

Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless expressly set forth in writing and executed by the Party so waiving. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and in any documents delivered or to be delivered pursuant hereto and in connection with the Closing hereunder. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

10.9.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by telecopier or facsimile transmission, or sent to the applicable Parties at their respective addresses indicated in this Section 10.9 by registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail courier service, as follows:
