(i)As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a closing balance sheet for the Company setting forth the book value of the Company's assets and liabilities as of immediately prior to the Closing, without taking into account any of the transactions occurring as part of the Closing (the "Closing Balance Sheet"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, as consistently applied by the Company and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. Buyer shall also prepare a calculation of the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing, without taking into account any of the transactions occurring as part of the Closing (the "Final Closing Net Working Capital"), the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents as of immediately prior to Closing, without taking into account any of the transactions occurring as part of the Closing, including the Transaction Expenses (the "Final Cash Amount"), and the amount of Debt as of immediately prior to Closing, without taking into account any of the transactions occurring as part of the Closing (the "Final Debt Amount"), which in each case shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied by the Company and, with respect to the Final Closing Net Working Capital, in a manner consistent with the determination of the Net Working Capital Target and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and with respect to the Final Cash Amount and the Final Debt Amount, in a manner consistent with the determination of the Estimated Cash Amount and the Estimated Debt Amount. If the Seller Representative disputes the Closing Balance Sheet, the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount and/or the Final Debt Amount determined by Buyer, then the Seller Representative shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the "Dispute Notice") describing with reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and Final Debt Amount. If the Seller Representative does not deliver the Dispute Notice to Buyer within such thirty (30) calendar day time period, then the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and Final Debt Amount shall be deemed final and accepted by the Seller Representative. Buyer and the Seller Representative will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute themselves. If such dispute is not finally resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer's receipt of the Dispute Notice, either Buyer or the Seller Representative may promptly thereafter cause BDO USA, LLP or another mutually acceptable third party accounting firm (the "Arbitrating Accountant") to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts in determining the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and/or Final Debt Amount. Within thirty (30) calendar days after submission to the Arbitrating Accountant for resolution, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each indicate in writing their position on each disputed matter and each such Party's determination of the amount of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and/or Final Debt Amount. The Arbitrating Accountant shall make a written determination on each disputed matter no later than sixty (60) calendar days after submission to the Arbitrating Accountant for resolution and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and the Sellers and Seller Representative with respect to that disputed matter. The proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and/or Final Debt Amount will be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any such Claims pursuant to this

Section 2.04(b)(i). The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant incurred in the resolution of such dispute shall be borne by the Buyer and the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Buyer and the Sellers from the resolution of the dispute, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Arbitrating Accountant at the time the determination of the Arbitrating Accountant is rendered on the merits. For example, if the Seller Representative challenges the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital on the Closing Balance Sheet by an amount of $100,000, but the Arbitrating Accountant determines that the Seller Representative has a valid Claim for only $40,000 (i.e., the Seller Representative prevails as to 40% of its Claim), then Buyer shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant and the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Buyer and Sellers will indemnify and hold each other harmless from the other party's failure to pay its portion of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant.

(ii)Buyer will provide the Seller Representative access to materials used in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and Final Debt Amount, and shall make its (and the Company's) financial staff and advisors available to the Seller Representative and his accountants and other representatives and to the Arbitrating Accountant at any reasonable time during [a] the review by the Seller Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Cash Amount and Final Debt Amount and [b] the resolution by Buyer and the Seller Representative and/or the Arbitrating Accountant of any objections thereto.

(iii)The Purchase Price will be adjusted if the Final Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined under this Section 2.04(b) is less than or greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the entire amount of the difference (the "Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment"). If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the entire amount of the excess (the "Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment"). Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted [a] upward by [i] the amount by which the Final Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Cash Amount and [ii] the amount by which the Final Debt Amount is less than the Estimated Debt Amount and [b] downward by [i] the amount by which the Final Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Cash Amount and [ii] the amount by which the Final Debt Amount is greater than the Estimated Debt Amount. The aggregate net amount of such adjustment for the Cash and Cash Equivalents and Debt as of the Closing, upwards or downwards, as the case may be, is referred to herein as the "Final Cash/Debt Adjustment".

(iv)The Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment or Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, shall be netted with the Final Cash/Debt Adjustment amount and in the event such netting results in a reduction to the Purchase Price (such amount, the "Final Deficiency"), then the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer the amount of the Final Deficiency no later than five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with this Section 2.04(b).

In the event the netting of the Final Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment or Final Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, with the Final Cash/Debt Adjustment amount results in an increase to the Purchase Price (such amount, the "Final Excess"), then Buyer shall pay to Sellers the entire amount of the Final Excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Sellers in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iii) and the Closing Statement, no later than five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with this Section 2.04(b).

The Company is not in default in any material respect under any Material Contract, nor has, to the Company's or Sellers' Knowledge, any event or omission occurred that, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be reasonably likely to constitute a default in any material respect thereunder or cause the acceleration of any of the Company's obligations thereunder or result in a creation of any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances. To the Company's and Sellers' Knowledge, no third party is in default in any material respect under any Material Contract to which the Company is a party, nor has any event or omission occurred that, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be reasonably likely to constitute a default in any material respect thereunder, or give rise to an automatic termination, or the right of discretionary termination thereof.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the execution of this Agreement and including any Company Ancillary Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) require any consent or approval of any party to any Material Contract or (ii) result in a

.Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a)Seller Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall timely file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Company required to be filed by the Company on or before the Closing Date (taking into account extensions) and all income Tax Returns for the Company with respect to any period ending on or before the Closing Date. Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns (i.e., other than Tax Returns which the Seller Representative is responsible for preparing under the first sentence of Section 7.01(a)) for the Company. To the extent consistent with applicable Law, the Tax Returns described above will be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Company. The Sellers shall pay or cause the Company to pay prior to the Closing Date all Taxes due and payable on the Tax Returns filed under the first sentence of this Section 7.01(a) (other than income Taxes of the Company with respect to any period ending on or before the Closing Date, which are the sole responsibility of the Sellers and which shall be timely filed and paid by Sellers when due). The Sellers shall reimburse Buyer with respect to Tax Returns filed under the second sentence of this Section 7.01(a), (i) in the case of Tax periods of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date, for all Taxes of the Company due and payable for such Tax periods, and (ii) in the case of Tax periods of the Company that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, an amount equal to that portion of Taxes of the Company due and payable as relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date (as determined under Section 7.01(c), below), within five (5) Business Days after payment by Buyer or the Company of such Taxes, in either case, only to the extent such Taxes are not included in the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital.

(b)With respect to the Tax Returns referred to in the second sentence of Section 7.01(a) which cover a period (or portion thereof) that begins before the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period Return"), Buyer shall provide Seller Representative with copies of all Straddle Period Returns for Seller Representative's review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing due date.

(c)For the sole purpose of apportioning any Taxes of the Company relating to a period that includes (but that would not end on) the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Governmental Authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Company.

number of days from the beginning of such taxable period to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such full taxable period, and (ii) in the case of a Tax that is based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property or any other specifically identifiable transaction or event, the Tax that would be due with respect to such partial period, if such partial period were a full taxable period, apportioning income, gain, expenses, loss, deductions and credits equitably based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practices of the Company.

(d)The Parties shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the furnishing of information relating to and the filing of Tax Returns of the Company and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, including with respect to any pre-Closing Tax period.

The Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by another Party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

(e)Any refund of income Taxes or IRS tax deposits of the Company or the Sellers (including any interest with respect thereto) attributable (or treated as attributable) to any period occurring on or before the Closing Date (including the $67,173 deposit projected to be refunded after the close on the date hereof of the Company's tax year) shall be the property of Sellers, shall be paid promptly to or at the direction of the Seller Representative for further payment to the Sellers and if received by Buyer or the Company or any other Affiliated entity of Buyer shall be payable promptly to or at the direction of the Seller Representative.

Seller Representative shall control all audits or proceedings with respect to income Tax matters involving the Company for periods that end on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller Representative in the conduct of any such audit or proceeding

amended Tax Return with respect to the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date which is reasonable under the circumstances.

.Tax Treatment and Allocation. The parties agree that the transaction contemplated hereby shall be reported for income Tax purposes in accordance with IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6 (a) as a sale of partnership interests with respect to Sellers, and (b) as a purchase of assets with respect to Buyer. The Purchase Price (and all capitalized costs and liabilities of the Company required to be treated as sale proceeds for federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company as set forth on Exhibit E.

(v)All other documents, instruments or writings required to be delivered to Sellers at or prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise necessary to effect the intent hereof and such other certificates of authority and documents as the Seller Representative may reasonably request.

.Appointment of Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Michael W. Altschaefl, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent (the "Seller Representative"), with full power of substitution or resubstitution, to act exclusively for and on behalf of such Seller with respect to all matters arising in connection with this Agreement, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including in connection with any amounts payable in connection with this Agreement and to act on behalf of such Seller in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents (including, without limitation, the Escrow Agreement) as the Seller Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:

(a)to act for such Seller with regard to matters pertaining to indemnification referred to in this Agreement, including the power to compromise any indemnity Claim on behalf of such Seller;

(b)to act for such Seller with regard to matters pertaining to litigation;

(c)to execute and deliver all documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or amendments thereto that the Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate;

(d)to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(e)to receive funds for the payment of expenses of such Seller and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

(f)to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Seller that the Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Seller could do if personally present; and

(g)to receive service of process in connection with any Claims under this Agreement.

.Irrevocable Appointment of Seller Representative. The appointment of the Seller Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Buyer and any other person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Seller Representative in all matters referred to herein. Any action taken by the Seller Representative must be in writing and must be signed by the Seller Representative then serving in such capacity. All notices required to be made or delivered by Buyer to the Sellers described above shall be made to the Seller Representative for the benefit of such Seller and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Buyer to such Seller with respect thereto. By their appointment of the Seller Representative, Sellers thereby confirm all that the Seller Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as the representative of Sellers hereunder. The Seller Representative shall act for Sellers on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Seller Representative believes to be in the best interest of Sellers and consistent with the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement, but the Seller Representative shall not be responsible to any Seller for any damages which Sellers may suffer by the performance of the Seller Representative's duties under this Agreement, other than damages arising from willful violation of applicable Law or willful misconduct in the performance of such duties under this Agreement. The Seller Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or Liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Seller Representative.

.Successor Seller Representative. In the event that the Seller Representative is unable to serve as the Seller Representative or resigns from his position as Seller Representative, the Sellers shall appoint a replacement Seller Representative by approval of the former holders of a majority of the outstanding Units as of immediately prior to the Closing, which replacement Seller Representative shall be deemed to be the Seller Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

.Reliance by Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any Seller, Buyer or any other

evidence deemed by the Seller Representative to be reliable, and the Seller Representative shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by them. The Seller Representative shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall have received such advice or concurrence of any Seller as it deems appropriate or it shall have been expressly indemnified to its satisfaction by Sellers (severally as to each Seller only and not jointly as to or with any other Seller) against any and all Liability and expense that the Seller Representative may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Seller Representative shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of Sellers, and such request, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all Sellers.

.Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations and expiration dates contained in this Section 10, if any, (specifically including the provisions of Section 10.05 and 10.06), from and after the Closing, each Seller shall, jointly and severally from the Escrow Amount, and after full distribution of the Escrow Amount, to the extent provided herein, each Seller shall jointly and severally (except for Michael T. Pepke, whose obligations shall be several, and not joint, up to his Pro Rata Share of any Losses), indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, employees, owners, agents, Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly:

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers or Company contained in or made pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, including in the Disclosure Schedule;

(b)any breach or nonperformance by any Seller of any covenant, undertaking, or agreement to be performed or observed by a Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)any Transaction Expenses incurred or payable by the Company that are not reflected on the Transaction Expense Certificate and that are payable or paid by Buyer or the Company on or after the Closing;

(d)any Debt in excess of the amount included in the Final Debt Amount;

(e)notwithstanding any Knowledge qualifiers contained in any representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company hereunder, any Liability or obligation for (i) any income Taxes imposed on the Company with respect to any pre-Closing Tax period and the portion of any Straddle Period through and ending on the Closing Date, (ii) any Taxes of any member of an Affiliated, consolidated combined or unitary group of which the Company was a member prior to the Closing, for which the Company is liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign law or regulation, (iii) any income Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee, successor or by Contract, when the events giving rise to such Taxes and to the Company's liability for such Taxes occurred prior to the Closing, (iv)  any Taxes imposed upon any income or gain recognized by the Sellers or the Company with respect to the sale and purchase of the Units pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and (v)  any Transfer Taxes under Wisconsin, federal or local Laws; and

(f)any brokerage or finders' fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any Person with a Seller or the Company (or any Person acting on their behalf), in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

.Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations and expiration dates contained in this Section 10 (specifically including the provisions of Section 10.05) from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and each of their officers, directors, employees, owners, agents, Affiliates and their successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by the Seller Indemnified Parties in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly:

(a)any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)any breach or nonperformance by Buyer (or the Company after the Closing) of any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer (or the Company after the Closing Date) contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement; and

(c)any brokerage or finders' fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

.Procedure.

(a)Claims Among the Parties. Following the discovery of any facts or conditions which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim for Losses hereunder, the party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party") shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"), specifying the factual basis of the Claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the party seeking indemnification.

(b)Third Party Claims. The following provisions shall apply to any Claim for Losses subject to indemnification under this Agreement that is a Proceeding filed or instituted by, or the making of any Claim or demand by, any third party, including any Governmental Authority (a "Third Party Claim"):

(i)The Indemnified Party or Parties shall give the Indemnifying Party or Parties prompt written notice of the Third Party Claim.

(ii)The Indemnifying Party may undertake and control the defense, compromise and/or settlement of the Third Party Claim, by representatives chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party's defense of the Third Party Claim shall not in and of itself constitute an admission that it has an indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending the Third Party Claim actively and in good faith pursuant to this Section 10.03(b)(ii), the Indemnified Party (A) shall not compromise or settle, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (B) shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party passes on the opportunity to control the defense of the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party undertakes and controls the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.03(c), it shall not compromise or settle, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c)Defense of Claim. 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 as described in Section 10.03(b)(ii), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of 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 or settlement.

(d)Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that any Third Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments or, with respect to Claims for Losses hereunder by a Buyer Indemnified Party, if any Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to result in an amount of Claims for Losses hereunder involving money damages or other money payments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account, then the Indemnified Party (and not the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to undertake and control the defense, compromise and/or settlement of such Third Party Claim and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In such circumstances, if the

Indemnified Party undertakes and controls the defense of the Third Party Claim, it shall not compromise or settle, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

.Payment. Subject to Section 10.06, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay (or cause the Escrow Agent to pay in connection with a Claim for Losses hereunder by a Buyer Indemnified Party that is to be satisfied from the Escrow Account) the Indemnified Party any amount finally determined to be due under this Section 10. Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay (or cause the Escrow Agent to pay in connection with a Claim for Losses hereunder by a Buyer Indemnified Party that is to be satisfied from the Escrow Account) 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 Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, unless, in the case of a judgment, a timely and valid appeal is made in good faith from the judgment, in each case subject to the limitations and conditions contained in this Section 10.

.Limitations on Indemnification. Except in the case of intentional fraud, as to which Claims may be brought without limitation as to time, amount, cap, deductible or Escrow Amount:

(a)Survival Period. No Claim or action shall be brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Section 10 for breach of a representation or warranty after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date of this Agreement (the "Survival Period Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement:

(i)Any Claim or action brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for breach of any representation of warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.12(a) (Title to Assets) or 4.03 (Title to Units) may be brought without limitation as to time.

(ii)To the extent a statute of limitations applies, a Claim or action brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for breach of any representation or warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) (Organization and Qualification - The Company), 3.01(b) (Organization and Qualification - Company Subsidiaries), 3.01(c) (Good Standing, Wisconsin), 3.01(e) (Authorization), 3.02 (Capitalization), 3.14 (Taxes), 4.01 (Power and Authority), 4.02 (Validity), (collectively with the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.12(a) (Title to Assets) and 4.03 (Title to Units), the "Fundamental Representations") or intentional fraud may be brought until the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation under federal or state Laws related thereto (including extensions or waivers thereof).

(iii)A Claim or action brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for breach of any representation or warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.11 (Employee Benefits) or 3.13 (Environmental Matters), may be brought until the date that is thirty-six (36) months after the date of this Agreement.

(iv)Any Claim or action brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties by providing the Indemnifying Party with written notice of an alleged breach of a representation or warranty prior to the expiration of the survival period for such Claim or action shall be preserved despite the subsequent expiration of such survival period.

(b)Deductible. Except with respect to Claims for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or any Claim pursuant to Sections 10.01(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) (as to which the limitations in this Section 10.05(b) shall not apply), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 for breaches of representations and/or warranties unless the aggregate amount of the Indemnifying Party's indemnification obligations under this Section 10 for breaches of representations and/or warranties (but for this Section 10.05(b)) exceeds $500,000 (the "Deductible"), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible only for Losses exceeding the Deductible.

(c)Cap. Except with respect to Claims for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or any Claim pursuant to Sections 10.01(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) (as to which the limitations in this Section 10.05(c) shall not apply), the aggregate amount of all Losses paid by the Indemnifying Parties under this Section 10 shall not exceed Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000).

(d)Escrow Amount. Subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 10, the Buyer Indemnified Parties' initial source of indemnification payments hereunder (except with respect to Section 10.06) shall be from the Escrow Amount (until the entire Escrow Amount has been made subject to a Claim or Claims in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or disbursed in accordance with Section 7.06 of this Agreement); provided, however, that, following the full Escrow Amount having been made subject to a good faith Claim or Claims or distributed in accordance with Section 7.06 of this Agreement or the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek recourse directly from any Seller, jointly and severally (except for Michael T. Pepke, who shall only be severally liable up to his Pro Rata Share of any Losses), such that each Seller (other than Michael T. Pepke) is liable for, subject to any limitations contained herein, if any, all Losses.

(e)Further Limitations. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

(i)in connection with any Losses related to a Claim for indemnification hereunder with respect to which the Buyer Indemnified Party has an uncontested Claim, right of indemnification or right of set off against any third party, unless the Buyer Indemnified Party assigns such Claim, right of indemnification or right of set off against such third party to the Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers;

(ii)to the extent of the value of any net Tax benefit actually realized by Buyer or the Company after the Closing in connection with the Loss which forms the basis of the Claim for indemnification hereunder by the Buyer Indemnified Party, as determined pursuant to Section 10.05(f);

(iii)to the extent of any net insurance proceeds actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to such indemnification, as determined pursuant to Section 10.05(g) below; and

(iv)to the extent amounts related to the Claims for Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties are included and taken into account in the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount or the Final Debt Amount.

(f)Tax Benefit. The amount of any indemnity provided in this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any reduction in Taxes paid or payable by any Buyer Indemnified Party or the Company (after the Closing) as a result of the Losses giving rise to such indemnity Claim. If the indemnity amount is paid prior to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Company (after the Closing) realizing a reduction in Taxes in connection with the Claims giving rise to such payment, and the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Company (after the Closing) subsequently realize such reduction in Taxes, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall pay to or at the direction of the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) the amount of such reduction in Taxes (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received with respect to such Claims). For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Company (after the Closing) shall be deemed to have realized a reduction in Taxes with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Buyer Indemnified Parties' or the Company's (after the Closing) cumulative liability for Taxes from the Closing Date through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Losses from all taxable years and excluding any amounts received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties from Sellers for indemnification for such Losses, exceeds the Buyer Indemnified Parties' or the Company's (after the Closing) actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the amount of the Losses for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any taxable year).

(g)Insurance Proceeds. The amount of any indemnity provided in this Agreement shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds actually received by a Buyer Indemnified Party in connection

with or as a result of any Claim giving rise to an indemnification Claim hereunder. If the indemnity amount is paid prior to the Buyer Indemnified Party's actual receipt of insurance proceeds related thereto, Buyer shall assign its right to such insurance and allow the Seller Representative to pursue collection of such insurance proceeds. In addition, if a Buyer Indemnified Party subsequently receives such insurance proceeds, then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to or at the direction of the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) the amount of insurance proceeds subsequently received (net of all related costs, expenses and other Losses), but not more, in the aggregate, than the indemnity amount paid by Sellers. Sellers' obligation to pay an indemnification Claim pursuant to this Agreement in any instance in which insurance is reasonably available to cover the events and circumstances giving rise to the indemnification Claim is subject to the Buyer Indemnified Party first filing a Claim under the applicable insurance policy(ies). Insurance proceeds or coverage are not limited by any cap under this Agreement.

(h)Certain Damages. Sellers shall not have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for, and the amount of the Losses shall not include, any consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or other similar damages, other than compensatory damages; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10.05(h) shall not prevent any Buyer Indemnified Party from being indemnified for all components of awards against such Buyer Indemnified Party in any Third Party Claims, including consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary and other similar damages.

.Indemnification by Sellers for Breaches of Representations and Warranties in Section 4. From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 10, each Seller (solely on such Seller's own behalf and not for or on behalf of any other Seller) shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent arising from any breach by such Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by such Seller in Section 4; provided, however, in no event shall a Seller be liable for indemnification under all provisions of this Section 10 in excess of the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid or that becomes payable to such Seller, except for any Claim or action brought by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for breach of any representation of warranty made in or pursuant to Sections 3.12(a) (Title to Assets) or 4.03 (Title to Units) for which liability shall not be limited. No Seller shall be liable, under this Section 10.06 or otherwise, for any breach by any other Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by any other Seller in Section 4. By way of clarification, the Escrow Amount may as reasonably determined by the Buyer, serve as the Buyer Indemnified Parties' source of indemnification payments hereunder for a breach of any of the representations and warranties of any Seller contained in Section 4, and also, the Buyer Indemnified Party(ies) may pursue indemnification directly against and from the applicable Seller.

.Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the event of intentional fraud, after the Closing, Sellers shall have no obligation or liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Company (after the Closing) shall have no Claim or recourse against Sellers arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood and agreed by the Parties that the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any such Claim for any such matters, whether such Claims are framed in contract, tort, violation of law (including securities laws) or otherwise.

.Disclosure Schedules. The Sellers have prepared the schedules attached to this Agreement (individually, a "Schedule" and collectively, the "Disclosure Schedule"), and delivered them to Buyer on the date hereof. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to which an appropriate cross reference is made or in all other Schedules where it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure applies to such other Schedules of the Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and/or set forth other information required by this Agreement but shall not otherwise vary, change or alter the language of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item on any Schedule shall not constitute an admission that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any

kind exists with respect to such item (except to the extent such item is specifically listed in response to a representation or warranty to such effect in this Agreement), but rather is intended only to qualify certain representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or to set forth other information required by this Agreement.

.Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered; sent by facsimile or e-mail transmission; or sent by registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid; or by private overnight mail courier service, as follows:
