Each such request by the Borrower must specify the amount of the requested Loan, whether such Loan is to be a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and, if the Borrower requests a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable Loan Period. The aggregate amount of Loans made on each Borrowing Date shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. In the event of any inconsistency between the telephonic notice and the written confirmation thereof, the telephonic notice shall control. Each request for Loans shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the borrowing conditions specified in sections 3.1(b)(ii) and 3.1(b)(iii) will be satisfied on the specified Borrowing Date. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the requested Loan. On or before 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on the specified Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Percentage of the requested Loan with the Agent in immediately available funds. Upon fulfillment of the applicable borrowing conditions, the Agent shall deposit the Loans in the Borrower’s account maintained with the Agent or as the Borrower may otherwise direct in writing.

     (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, by a Lender not later than 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Percentage of the requested Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Agent, then upon notice from the Agent, the Borrower agrees to repay the amount advanced by the Agent on behalf of such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the interest rate applicable to such Loan.

     (c) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the applicable Borrowing Date.

In the event after the date of initial funding any governmental authority subjects a Lender to any new or additional charge, fee, withholding or tax of any kind with respect to any Loans hereunder or changes the method of taxation of such Loans or changes the reserve or deposit requirements applicable to such Loans, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such costs or lost income resulting therefrom as reasonably determined by such Lender. !

          (d) Default Rate . Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2.3(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, bear interest at an annual rate equal to the rate announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime rate plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”), payable upon demand. On and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance of the Notes and all accrued interest thereon shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable upon demand.

The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement, to convert all or a portion (in an minimum amount of $1,000,000) of the outstanding Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans.

          (b) In the event the Borrower does not timely elect to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan at least two Business Days before the end of the Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan to a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan, but until such conversion the LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period.

          (c) The Borrower will give the Bank irrevocable notice of each conversion of a Daily Reset LIBOR Rate Loan or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, two Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying (i) the requested date of such conversion or continuation, (ii) the amount to be converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan and (iii) the Loan Period applicable thereto.

Nonusage fees shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.

     2.6 Reduction or Termination of Total Revolving Loan Commitments .

          (a) Mandatory . The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of Net Proceeds of Additional Capital received by the Borrower after the Effective Date, effective on the date(s) of receipt, to an amount not less than $70,000,000.

          (b) Optional . The Borrower may, on any interest payment date commencing June 30, 2008, and upon five days’ prior written notice to the Agent, permanently reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Notes on the date of such reduction. Each optional reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such minimum.

          (c) Effect of Reduction . Each reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall ratably reduce each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.

All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and of all fees due hereunder shall be made at the office of the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in lawful currency of the United States, in immediately available funds not later than 2 p.m., Milwaukee time, on the date due; funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent may charge any account of the Borrower at the Agent for any payment due under the Notes, or any fee or expense payable hereunder, on or after the date due. Except as otherwise provided in section 2.9(b), the Agent shall forward to each Lender, promptly after receipt, such Lender’s Percentage of such payments received by the Agent. The Borrower will maintain a demand deposit account at the Agent to facilitate borrowings and repayments hereunder. All payments may be applied by a Lender to principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in any order which such Lender elects.

     2.8 Prepayments .

          (a) Mandatory . The Borrower shall make such prepayments of the Notes on such dates and in such amounts as may be necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes does not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment.

9


 

          (b) Optional . The Borrower may at any time repay, without premium or penalty, Daily LIBOR Rate Loans in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or, if less, all outstanding Daily LIBOR Rate Loans). LIBOR Rate Loans may not be prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Loan Period unless such prepayment is accompanied by any sums, including Interest Differential, required by subsection (c) below; provided, however, that if the Borrower repays the entire principal balances of the Revolving Notes and all interest and fees accrued through the prepayment date and terminates the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders in accordance with section 2.6, such prepayment need not be on the last day of the applicable Loan Periods for the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans and no Interest Differential shall be due. The Borrower will give the Agent notice of any optional prepayment of the Notes not later than 11 a.m., Milwaukee time, (i) in the case of a prepayment of Daily Rate LIBOR Rate Loans, on the prepayment date, or (ii) in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the Business Day prior to the prepayment date, specifying the prepayment date (which must be a Business Day) and the amount to be prepaid. The amount of such prepayment shall become due and payable by the Borrower on the specified prepayment date.

          (c) Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans . Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2.8(b) above, if a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of its Loan Period, whether by the Borrower, as a result of acceleration upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender all of such Lender’s costs, expenses and the Interest Differential incurred as a result of such prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Except for a mandatory prepayment required under section 2.8(a), any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such LIBOR Rate Loan.

     2.9 Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments .

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments of principal, interest and fees made by the Borrower shall be distributed pro rata to the Lenders according to their respective Percentages. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall immediately purchase, without recourse and for cash, from the other Lenders, such participations in the Notes of such other Lenders so that each Lender shall thereafter have a percentage interest in all of such obligations equal to such Lender’s Percentage; provided, however, that if any payment so received shall be recovered in whole or in part from such purchasing

10


 

Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of any such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including its right of setoff) with respect to such participation as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender that fails to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower to the Agent and the nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to (i) retain such payments to the extent the Agent funded such delinquency or (ii) distribute such payments to the nondeliquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans to the extent the nondelinquent Lenders funded such delinquency. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of the application of the assigned payments to the Agent and/or the nondelinquent Lenders, all advances funded by the Agent have been repaid in full and the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to their respective Percentages.

     2.10 Additional LIBOR Rate Loan Provisions .

          (a) If any Lender determines that the making or maintaining of a LIBOR Rate Loan would violate any applicable law, rule regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, then the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or to convert Daily LIBOR Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. During any such period, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Daily LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of the applicable loan period or sooner if required by law.

          (b) If the Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR rate in respect of a requested LIBOR Rate Loan or the Lenders are unable to obtain deposits of United States dollars in the London interbank market in the applicable amounts and for the requested Loan Period, then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or to convert Daily LIBOR Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until the

11


 

Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
