3. REVOLVING LOANS. Borrower requests that Bank lend to Borrower from time to time such amounts as Borrower may request in accordance with this Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”), and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank agrees to lend such amounts up to the aggregate principal amount of forty million and no/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00) at any time outstanding (the “Credit Limit”). Upon the first calendar quarter end to occur during the term of this Agreement, Bank will adjust the Credit Limit to the Adjusted Credit Limit, and the Adjusted Credit Limit will be further adjusted quarterly, as follows:
  (a)  
Following the end of each calendar quarter, Bank will determine the Adjusted Credit Limit as set forth in the Adjusted Credit Limit Table, above, based on Borrower’s Tangible Net Worth and EBITDA as of such calendar quarter end, which Adjusted Credit Limit shall become effective sixty (60) days after the end of such calendar quarter end.
 
  (b)  
The Adjusted Credit Limit shall become effective without notice to Borrower, but Bank will give Borrower notice of the Adjusted Credit Limit.
The Credit Limit and the Adjusted Credit Limit, as applicable, are evidenced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated December 1, 2009, and any renewals, extensions or modifications (the “Promissory Note”). Within the Credit Limit or the Adjusted Credit Limit, as applicable, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Agreement. Bank is not obligated to, but may make Revolving Loans in excess of the Credit Limit or the Adjusted Credit Limit, as applicable, and in any event, Borrower is liable for and agrees to pay all Revolving Loans.
4. LETTERS OF CREDIT. Borrower may request that Bank issue letters of credit from time to time during the term of this Agreement in amounts, in aggregate, up to the unused portion of the Credit Limit or the Adjusted Credit Limit, as applicable, and Bank agrees to issue such letters of credit. Bank shall charge an issuance fee for each such letter of credit equal to a rate of 1.60% per annum multiplied by the amount of each letter of credit, which shall be payable upon issuance. The availability to Borrower of the Credit Limit, or the Adjusted Credit Limit, as applicable, for cash borrowing hereunder shall be reduced by the amounts, in aggregate, of such letters of credit from time to time outstanding.
5. CONDITIONS FOR LOANS. Bank’s obligation to make the initial Revolving Loan is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
  (a)  
Bank shall have received copies, certified by the Secretary of Borrower, of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Borrower, resolutions of the Board of Directors of Borrower, authorizing the issuance, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Promissory Note, and a certification of the names and titles of the representatives of Borrower authorized to sign this Agreement and the Promissory Note and to request Revolving Loans under this Agreement, together with true signatures of such representatives. Borrower shall also provide Bank with evidence that Borrower is current in regard to all annual report filing with the Secretary of State of the state of its incorporation and any other state in which it does business.
 
  (b)  
Borrower shall not be in default under this Agreement or any other obligation to Bank or to any other creditor of Borrower.
 
  (c)  
Borrower shall provide Bank with current financial statements, balance sheets, profit and loss statements of Borrower in a form and content satisfactory to Bank, and Borrower’s financial condition, as reflected on said financial statements, shall be satisfactory to Bank.
 
  (d)

6. LOAN PROCEDURES. Borrower may only obtain Revolving Loans under this Agreement as follows:
Borrower shall give Bank notice of any Revolving Loan requested under this Agreement, specifying the date of the Revolving Loan request and the amount of the Revolving Loan request. All such requests shall be in writing unless Bank agrees to accept telephonic requests as provided in the Promissory Note. Written requests shall be on forms approved by Bank. If notice of a Revolving Loan request is made telephonically and accepted in such form by Bank, such request shall be confirmed in writing by Borrower within five (5) banking business days of such request on the same forms as are required to be used by Borrower when making the request in writing. If Borrower’s then-outstanding Revolving Loans balances, plus the amount of the request, are within the Credit Limit then applicable and Borrower is not in default under this Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note delivered pursuant hereto, or any other loan agreement with Bank or promissory note held by Bank, then within two banking business days of receipt of the request, Bank will make the Revolving Loan available to Borrower by crediting the amount of the Revolving Loans to Borrower’s account (Account No. [ * ]) with Bank. Each Revolving Loan which does not utilize the full amount available to Borrower under this Agreement shall be in an amount not less than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00).
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that on the date of each Revolving Loan:
  (a)  
Neither the making of this Agreement nor the execution of the Promissory Note or other documents provided for hereunder will violate any provision of any other agreement, indenture, note, Article of Incorporation or Bylaw or other instrument which is binding upon the Borrower, nor give cause for acceleration of any indebtedness of the Borrower.
 
  (b)  
All Revolving Loans are and will be used solely for business purposes and are not and will not be used for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
 
  (c)  
No portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used directly or indirectly in violation of any provision of any statute, regulation, order or restriction applicable to the Bank or the Borrower, including, without limitation, Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
  (d)  
The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement, are within its power, have been duly authorized by proper action on the part of Borrower, are not in violation of any existing law, rule or regulation, any order or decision of any court, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or other governing documents of Borrower, as applicable, or the terms of any agreement or restriction to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound and do not require the approval or consent of any person or entity. This Agreement and the Promissory Note, when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their terms.
 
  (e)  
Borrower is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and is duly qualified to do business and is current with its annual report filing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification.
 
  (f)  
All financial statements, balance sheets and profit and loss statements of Borrower furnished to Bank were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved and are correct and complete as of their dates.

  (h)  
Borrower has no notice or knowledge of any substance which has been, is, or will be present, used, stored, deposited, treated, or disposed of on, under or about any real estate now or at any time owned or occupied by the Borrower which would require clean up, removal or some other remedial action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations, ordinances, codes or rules. In the event any such substance is present on such real estate, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its directors, officers, employees and agents from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), and liability of every kind and nature resulting from or arising out of or based upon such substance. Borrower shall immediately notify bank in writing of any governmental or regulatory action or third party claim instituted or threatened in connection with any such substance.
 
  (i)  
Borrower has paid all federal and state income taxes or other taxes of any kind or material owed by it for all past years and no claim is being asserted against it with respect to any federal or state income taxes for any past years or with respect to any other federal, state, or other taxes of any kind or nature for any past years.

11. ADDITIONAL SECURITY. Except as hereinafter provided, this Agreement is unsecured.

Unless a lien would be prohibited by law or would render a nontaxable account taxable, Borrower also grants to Bank a security interest and lien in any deposit account Borrower may at any time have with Bank to secure all debts, obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Agreement. Bank may at any time after the occurrence of an event of default set-off any amount under this Agreement against any deposit balances or other money now or hereafter owed to Borrower by Bank.

Borrower fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement or the Promissory Note delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement;
 
  (b)  
Any representation or warranty made under this Agreement or information provided by Borrower in connection with this Agreement is or was false or fraudulent in any material respect;
 
  (c)  
A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition;

The occurrence of any other event which causes the Bank, in good faith, to deem itself insecure.

Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the total unpaid balance of the Promissory Note shall automatically become due and payable in the event Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings.

13. CROSS DEFAULT OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER WITH BANK. As an inducement to Bank to extend the credit referenced herein, Borrower agrees that in the event it is in default with respect to this Agreement or the Promissory Note delivered pursuant hereto, it shall also be in default with respect to all other agreements, notes, or other documents evidencing Borrower’s other indebtedness to Bank. Conversely, if any payment is not made when due under any other note, agreement, assignment or mortgage in favor of the Bank, or if any event of default should occur as defined in any such note, agreement, assignment or mortgage, the unpaid balance of the Promissory Note shall at the option of the holder and without notice, mature and become immediately due and payable.
14. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all loss, cost, expense, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim, counterclaim or proceeding brought as a result of, arising out of or relating to any transaction financed or to be financed, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Revolving Loan or the entering into and performance of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to the Agreement by Bank. This indemnity will survive termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Revolving Loans.

The Borrower may terminate Borrower’s right to obtain loans under this Agreement at any time and for any reason by written notice to Bank. Such notice of termination signed by Borrower shall be binding on each Borrower who signs this Agreement.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is intended by Borrower and Bank as a final expression of this Agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of its terms, there being no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Agreement except as set forth in this Agreement.
19. NO WAIVER; REMEDIES. No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
20. HEDGING INSTRUMENTS. Borrower’s obligations and Indebtedness hereunder includes, without limitation all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities arising pursuant to or in connection with any interest rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, interest rate option, price risk hedging transaction or any similar transaction between the Borrower and Bank.
