“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to the relevant Interest Period, the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, divided by (b) one minus the Reserve Requirement (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Interest Period.
"Applicable Margin" means 0.40% per annum.
“Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks generally are open in Wisconsin and/or New York for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial lending activities and on which dealings in United States dollars are carried on in the London interbank market.
"Interest Period" means each consecutive one month period, the first of which shall commence on the date of this Note, ending on the day which corresponds numerically to such date one (1) month thereafter, provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such first succeeding month, such Interest Period shall end on the last Eurodollar Day of such first succeeding month. If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that if said next succeeding Business Day falls in a new calendar month, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day.
"LIBOR Rate" means, with respect to any LIBOR advance for any Interest Period, the interest rate determined by the Bank by reference to Page 3756 of the Moneyline Telerate Service (“MTS”) (or on any successor or substitute page of the MTS, or any successor to or substitute for the MTS, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on Page 3756 of the MTS, as determined by the Bank from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) to be the rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for the offering by the Bank’s London office, of dollar deposits in an amount comparable to such LIBOR advance with a maturity equal to such Interest Period. If no LIBOR Rate is available to the Bank, the applicable LIBOR Rate for the relevant interest per iod shall instead be the rate determined by the Bank to be the rate at which the Bank offers to place deposits in U.S. dollars with first-class banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period, in the approximate amount of the principal amount outstanding on such date and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period.
"Reserve Requirement" means, with respect to an Interest Period, the maximum aggregate reserve requirement (including all basic, supplemental, marginal and other reserves), which is imposed under Regulation D.
"Regulation D" means Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as from time to time in effect and any successor thereto or other regulation or official interpretation of said Board of Governors relating to reserve requirements applicable to member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain or fund the advances evidenced by this Note, then, upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Note or the Related Documents shall be repaid (a) immediately upon the Bank's demand if such change or compliance with such requests, in the Bank's judgment, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any suc h change or request.
If the Bank determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the interest rate as provided in this Note, then the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower, whereupon (i) the obligation of the Bank to make advances evidenced by this Note shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension no longer exists, and (ii) the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each advance evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
In no event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Any interest payment that would for any reason be unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.
Interest will be computed on unpaid principal balance from the date of each borrowing.
Until maturity, the Borrower will pay consecutive monthly installments of interest only commencing December 30, 2005.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Note, the maximum principal amount available under this Note shall reduce to the following amount(s) on and after the following date(s): Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) on December 31, 2005.

The Borrower will pay, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, the Bank at the Bank's address above or at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing.

The term "Business Day" in this Note means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banking associations are authorized to be closed. Payments shall be allocated among principal, interest and fees at the discretion of the Bank unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law.
