Section 1 - Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the fourth (4th) Wednesday in the month of April of each year at 11:00 a.m., or at such other time and date as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting subject to Sections 6 and 7 below. Every election of directors shall be managed by an inspector of election. The inspector of election shall hold and conduct the election and shall, after the election has been held, notify under his, her or its hand the Secretary of the Corporation of the results thereof and the names of the directors elected. If the day fixed for the annual meeting is a legal holiday in the State of Wisconsin, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. If the election of directors shall not be held at the annual meeting of the shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as convenient. Failure to hold an annual meeting in one (1) or more years does not affect the validity of any corporate action.

Section 2 - Special Meetings

Special meetings of the shareholders may be called for any proper purpose or purposes, and may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Wisconsin, as shall be stated in a notice of special meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Such

The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to request a special meeting is the date that the first shareholder signs the request. No business may be transacted at a special meeting other than the business specified in the notice to the shareholders of such meeting.

(b)

Any request by the shareholders to call a special meeting shall (i) be in writing; (ii) specify the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted at the special meeting; and (iii) be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by facsimile transmission to the Secretary of the Corporation. Upon receipt of such a request, the Board of Directors shall determine the date, time and place of such special meeting, which must be scheduled to be held on a date that is within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Secretary of the request therefor, and the Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare a proper notice thereof.

(c)

The Corporation shall not be required to call a special meeting upon shareholder demand unless, in addition to the documents required above by paragraph (b) of this Section 2, the Secretary of the Corporation receives a written agreement signed by each Soliciting Shareholder (as defined below), pursuant to which each Soliciting Shareholder, jointly and severally, agrees to pay the Corporation's costs of holding the special meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing proxy materials for the Corporation's own solicitation, provided that if each of the resolutions introduced by a Soliciting Shareholder at such meeting is adopted, and each of the individuals nominated by or on behalf of any Soliciting Shareholder for election as director at such meeting is elected, then the Soliciting Shareholders shall not be required to pay such costs. For purposes of this paragraph (c), the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

"Participant" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

"Proxy" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

"Solicitation" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

"Soliciting Shareholder" shall mean, with respect to any special meeting requested by a shareholder or shareholders, any of the following Persons: (i) if the number of shareholders signing the request or requests for the meeting delivered to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2 is 10 or fewer, each shareholder signing any such demand; (ii) if the number of shareholders signing the request or requests for the meeting delivered to the Corporation

Section 3 - Place of Meeting

The Board of Directors may designate any place, within or without the State of Wisconsin, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Wisconsin, but any meeting may be adjourned to reconvene at any place designated by vote of a majority of the shares represented thereat.

Section 4 - Notice of Meeting

Notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, such notice to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV below. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5 – Conduct of Meetings

Meetings of the shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence, one of the following persons in the following order, if present and acting: the Lead Director, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, an Executive Vice President, a Senior Vice President, or a Vice President (in the event there be more than one Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President, in the order designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of any designation, then in the order of their election) or if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a chairman chosen by the shareholders present. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, or if none be present, any person appointed by the presiding officer shall act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 6 - Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposed Business at Annual Meeting

At any annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders must be made (a) pursuant to the

Page 3

60815118_3

notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in these Bylaws and at the date of the meeting, is entitled to vote at the meeting and complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.

In addition to any other applicable requirements for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation and such business must be a proper matter for shareholder action under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than seventy-five (75) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the Corporation's annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after the anniversary date of the previous year's annual meeting, to be timely, notice by the shareholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

The Secretary of the Corporation shall determine whether a notice delivered pursuant to this Section 6 complies with the requirements of this Section 6 so as to be considered properly delivered to the Corporation. If the Secretary shall determine that such notice has not been properly delivered to the Corporation, the Secretary shall notify the shareholder in writing within five (5) days from the date such notice was received by the Corporation of such determination.

A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall be signed by the shareholder of record who intends to make the proposal (or such shareholder's duly authorized proxy or other representative), shall bear the date of signature of such shareholder (or proxy or other representative) and shall set forth (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (b) the name and address of the shareholder proposing such business; (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder and any other ownership interest in the shares of the Corporation, whether economic or otherwise, including derivatives and hedges; (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such business; (e) a representation that the person sending the notice is a shareholder of record on the record date and shall remain such through the meeting date; and (f) a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to move the consideration of the business set forth in the notice.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedures.

Page 4

60815118_3

The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 7 - Nomination of Directors

Only persons nominated in accordance with the following procedures in this Section 7 shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at any meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 7. Nominations by shareholders shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, such notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than seventy-five (75) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary of the date of the Corporation's annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after the anniversary date of the previous year's annual meeting, to be timely, notice by the shareholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

The Secretary of the Corporation shall determine whether a notice delivered pursuant to this Section 7 complies with the requirements of this Section so as to be considered properly delivered to the Corporation and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with this Section 7, to notify such proponent that such proposed nomination shall be disregarded.

A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person proposed to be nominated (i) the name, age, address (business and residence), principal occupation or employment of such person (present and for the past five (5) years), (ii) the number of shares of the Corporation such person beneficially owns (as such term is defined by Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act); and any other ownership interest in the shares of the Corporation, whether economic or otherwise, including derivatives and hedges and (iii) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a definitive proxy statement to shareholders prepared in connection with an election of directors pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; and (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and address (business and residential) of the shareholder, and (ii) the number of shares of the Corporation the shareholder beneficially owns (as such term is defined by Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) and any other ownership interest in the shares of the Corporation, whether economic or otherwise, including derivatives and hedges. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish additional information as may be reasonably required to determine the qualifications of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.

Page 5

60815118_3

Nothing in these Bylaws shall require the Corporation to include in any notice, proxy statement or other mailing to shareholders any information regarding nominees or proposals made by shareholders except as otherwise required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Sections 6 and 7, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Sections 6 and 7. The procedures set forth in this Sections 6 and 7 shall apply to all proposals of business to be considered by the shareholders at any annual meeting and is not limited to proposals for business brought pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Nothing in these Sections 6 and 7 shall be deemed to limit the Corporation's obligation to include shareholder proposals in its proxy statement if such inclusion is required by Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. For purposes of Sections 6 and 7, "public disclosure" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by PR Newswire, the Business Wire, the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 8 - Record Date for Notice, Voting and Distributions

For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof or to take any other action, the record date shall be at least thirty (30) days before such meeting or action is scheduled or at such other date fixed in advance by the Board of Directors which in no event shall be set more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 8, such determination shall be applied to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to a distribution, other than a distribution involving a purchase, redemption, or other acquisition of the Corporation's shares, is the date on which the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution, unless the Board of Directors fixes a different record date in advance.

Section 9 - Shareholders' List for Meeting

Once a record date has been fixed for a meeting, the Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare a list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting. Such list shall be arranged by class or series of shares and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. The shareholders' list will be available for inspection by any shareholder or his/her agent or attorney beginning two (2) business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing up to and through the time for the meeting or any adjournment thereof at the Corporation's principal offices, or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. A shareholder or his/her agent or attorney may, on written demand, subject to applicable Wisconsin statutes, copy the list, during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period that it is available for inspection under this Section. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders' list does not affect the validity of action taken at the meeting.

Page 6

60815118_3

Section 10 - Quorum and Voting Requirements for Voting Groups

Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares, represented in person or by proxy, exists with respect to that matter. Unless the Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting in which a quorum is present. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation or applicable statutes require a greater number of affirmative votes.

Section 11 - Proxies

At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy appointed, in writing, by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of shareholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the shareholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the Secretary or a person designated by the Secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid.

Without limiting the manner in which a shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy pursuant to this Section, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a shareholder may grant such authority:

(a)

A shareholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the shareholder or such shareholder's authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person's signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to facsimile signature; and

Page 7

60815118_3

(b)

A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder as proxy by authorizing such person or persons over the Internet, by telephone or by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, electronic mail or email, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such authorization and/or transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that such authorization and/or transmission was authorized by the shareholder. If it is determined that such authorization and/or transmission is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

Section 12 - Voting of Shares

Each outstanding shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 13 - Voting Company's Shares

Shares of the Corporation belonging to it shall not be voted directly or indirectly at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time, but shares held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after written notice, properly given, is mailed to the holders and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank named by the Board of Directors of the Corporation under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares.

Section 14 - Acceptance of Instruments Showing Shareholder Action

If the name signed on a vote, waiver or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the Corporation may accept the vote, waiver or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if any of the following apply:

(a)

The shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity.

(b)

The name purports to be that of a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests in its sole discretion, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the Corporation is presented with respect to the vote, waiver or proxy appointment.

(c)

The name signed purports to be that of a receive or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests in its sole discretion, evidence of this

Page 8

60815118_3

status acceptable to the Corporation is presented with respect to the vote, waiver or proxy appointment.

(d)

The name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests in its sole discretion, evidence acceptable to the Corporation of the signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder is presented with respect to the vote, waiver or proxy appointment.

(e)

Two or more persons are the shareholder as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-tenants or fiduciaries and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-tenants or fiduciaries.

Section 15 - Adjournment

An annual or special meeting of shareholders may be adjourned by a majority of shares represented, even if less than a quorum, or by the chairman of the annual or special meeting of shareholders. Upon being reconvened, the adjourned meeting shall be deemed to be a continuation of the initial meeting; a quorum will be deemed present if a quorum of shares was represented at the initial meeting, and any business that could be conducted at the initial meeting may be considered at the adjourned meeting. If a quorum was not present at the initial meeting but is present at the adjourned meeting, then any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting. A meeting may be adjourned at any time, including after action on one (1) or more matters, and for any purpose including, but not limited to, allowing additional time to solicit votes on one (1) or more matters, to disseminate additional information to shareholders, or to count votes. No new notice need be given for an adjourned meeting if the time and place of the adjournment are announced at the initial meeting and no new record date for the adjourned meeting is required unless otherwise required by law.

Section 16 - Waiver of Notice

A shareholder may waive any notice required by these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or under the provisions of any applicable statute, before or after the date and time stated in the notice, provided such waiver is in writing and signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, contains the same information that would have been required in the notice under any applicable provisions under any statute, except that the time and place of the meeting need not be stated. Such waiver must be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the corporate records.

A shareholder's attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, waives objection to (a) lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (b) consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

Once a director has attained the age of 72, the Board of Directors may waive the retirement age for such director on an annual basis thereafter.

(b)

Nomination of Directors to the Board of Directors - The Board of Directors may appoint a committee consisting solely of independent directors, as defined pursuant to NASDAQ Corporate Governance Rule 5605 and otherwise in compliance with the rules of NASDAQ or the rules of such securities exchange on which the Corporation’s common stock is then listed, to review candidates for membership on the Board of Directors and recommend individuals for nomination to the Board. Such candidates shall meet the criteria established for nominees to the Board of Directors as may be adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time.

In order to be considered for renomination to an additional term on the Board of Directors, the individual should continue to meet the criteria established for nominees to the Board of Directors.

The Secretary, upon receiving the certificate of the inspector of election of the result of any election, shall notify the directors-elect of their election and the Board of Directors shall meet at the main office of the Corporation for the purpose of organizing the new Board and electing and appointing officers of the Corporation for the succeeding year. Such meeting shall be held immediately after the annual meeting of the shareholders or as soon thereafter as practicable, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days thereof.

The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting and objects thereat to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

The shares of the Corporation's stock, or any class or series thereof, may be certificated and/or uncertificated, as provided under Wisconsin law, and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation and registered as they are issued, including in book entry form if uncertificated. Each certificate shall be signed either manually or by facsimile by (i) the Chief Executive Officer, the President or an Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President and (ii) the

Page 17

60815118_3

Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Any certificates representing shares of the Corporation's stock shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. Certificates representing shares of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, certifying the number and class of shares of the stock of the Corporation owned by the shareholder. Any certificate issued to any shareholder shall state on its face the name of the Corporation, that the Corporation is organized under the laws of Wisconsin, the name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number and class of shares and date of issue. If the person who signed a share certificate, either manually or in facsimile, no longer holds office when the certificate is issued, then the certificate is nonetheless valid.

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of any shares of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the holder thereof a written notice that shall set forth (a) the name of the Corporation, (b) that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, (c) the name of the shareholder, (d) the number and class (and the designation of the series, if any) of the shares represented, (e) any restrictions on the transfer or registration of such shares of stock imposed by the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement among shareholders, any agreement between shareholders and the Corporation or any applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act (f) any other information required by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.

Section 2 - Transfer of Shares

Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate or evidence of the issuance of uncertificated shares to the shareholder entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon the Corporation's books. Upon surrender of any certificate for transfer of stock, such certificate shall at once be conspicuously marked on its face "Cancelled" and filed with the permanent stock records of the Corporation. Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the holder of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the shareholder entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Corporation. If the Corporation has a transfer agent or registrar acting on its behalf, the signature of any officer or representative thereof may be in facsimile. The person in whose name shares stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed by the Corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes. The Board of Directors may appoint a transfer agent and one or more co-transfer agents and registrar and one or more co-registrars and may make or authorize such agent to make all such rules and regulations deemed expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock.

Section 3 - Restrictions on Transfer

The face or reverse side of each certificate representing shares shall bear a conspicuous notation of any restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer of such shares.

Page 18

60815118_3

Section 4 - Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates

Any person claiming a share certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed shall make an affidavit or affirmation of the fact in such manner as the Board of Directors may require and shall, if the Board of Directors so requires, give the Corporation a bond of indemnity in form and amount, and with one or more sureties satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as the Board of Directors may require, whereupon the Corporation may issue (i) a new certificate or certificates of stock or (ii) uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 5 - Registered Shareholders

Prior to the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 6 - Consideration for Shares

The shares of the Corporation may be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, provided that any shares having a par value shall not be issued for a consideration less than the par value thereof. The consideration to be paid for shares may be paid in whole or in part, in money, in other property, tangible or intangible, or in labor or services actually performed for the Corporation. The determination of the Board of Directors is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation may place in escrow shares issued in whole or in part for a contract for future services or benefits, a promissory note, or otherwise for property to be received in the future, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the benefits or property are received or the promissory note is paid. If the services are not performed, the benefits or property are not received or the promissory note is not paid, the Corporation may cancel, in whole or in part, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited.

Section 7 - Stock Regulations

The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such further rules and regulations not inconsistent with the statutes of the State of Wisconsin as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of shares of the Corporation.

Before making any distribution of profits, there may be set aside out of the net profits of the Corporation such sum or sums as the directors may from time to time, in their absolute discretion, deem expedient as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends, or for maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for any other purpose, and profits of any year not distributed as dividends shall be deemed to have been thus set apart until otherwise disposed of by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IX

BOOKS AND RECORDS

No shareholder shall have any right to inspect any account or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by law or by resolution of the shareholders or directors; provided, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as changing in any way the duty of the Treasurer or Secretary to make proper reports to the shareholders at the annual meeting.

ARTICLE X

VOTING OF SECURITIES OWNED BY CORPORATION

Unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or his or her delegate shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Corporation to attend and to act and to vote at any meeting of the shareholders or members of any corporation, limited liability company or other entity in which this Corporation may hold securities, and at any such meeting shall possess and may exercise all of the rights and power incident to the ownership of such stock, and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have possessed and exercised if present.

Page 20

In the event of an emergency declared by the President of the United States, or the person performing his functions, or an emergency that is potentially dangerous to corporate personnel, the officers and employees of Corporation will continue to conduct the affairs of the Corporation under such guidance from the directors as may be available, except as to matters that by statute require specific approval of the Board of Directors, and subject to conformance with any governmental directives during the emergency.

Section 2 - Officers Pro Tempore and Disaster

The Board of Directors shall have the power, in the absence or disability of any officer, or upon the refusal of any officer to act, to delegate and prescribe such officer's powers and duties to any other officer, or to any director, for the time being.
