Ladies and Gentlemen:

County Bancorp, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), and certain shareholders of the Company (the “Selling Shareholders”) named in Schedule I hereto severally propose to sell to the several Underwriters, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, an aggregate of [—] shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 of the Company (the “Firm Shares”), of which [—] shares are to be issued and sold by the Company and [—] shares are to be sold by the Selling Shareholders, each Selling Shareholder selling the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Selling Shareholder’s name in Schedule I hereto. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”) and Sterne, Agee & Xxxxx, Inc. (“Sterne”) are acting as joint book-running managers of the Offering.

The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, up to an additional [—] shares of common stock, of the Company (the “Additional Shares”), of which up to [—] shares are to be issued and sold by the Company, if and to the extent that Baird, as representative of the Underwriters (the “Representative”), shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of common stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 3 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The shares of common stock of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.” The Company and the Selling Shareholders are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Sellers.”

The Company has prepared and filed, in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (registration no. 333-200081), including a form of prospectus, relating to the public offering of the Shares (the “Offering”). The registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the exhibits and documents filed as part thereof and the information contained in the prospectus filed as part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act or otherwise deemed to be part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430A or 430C under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” If the Company files an abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include the Rule 462 Registration Statement. The

Company has also filed with, or transmitted for filing to, or shall promptly after the date of this Agreement file with or transmit for filing to, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a final prospectus (in the form first used to confirm sales of the Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act)) that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”). The term “Preliminary Prospectus,” as of any time, means any preliminary form of prospectus included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to such time, or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act at such time, that omits certain information as permitted by Rule 430A(a) under the Securities Act. The “Preliminary Prospectus” without reference to a time means the Preliminary Prospectus included in the Registration Statement or deemed a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act immediately prior to the Time of Sale (as defined below). The “Prospectus” shall be deemed to include the “electronic Prospectus” provided for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares as contemplated by Section 7(b) of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; “issuer free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 433 under the Securities Act; “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule III hereto (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”), and other information conveyed to purchasers of the Shares at or prior to the Time of Sale as set forth in Schedule III hereto; “Time of Sale” means [—] p.m. (Central Time) on the date of this Agreement; “road show” has the meaning set forth in Rule 433(h)(4) under the Securities Act, and “bona fide electronic road show” has the meaning set forth in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act.

The Company has also prepared and filed, in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a registration statement on Form 8-A (file no. [—]) to register the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act, as applicable.

(f) To advise the Representative promptly (i) when the Registration Statement has become effective, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective, (iii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed or distributed, (iv) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or for additional information with respect thereto, or (v) of notice of institution of proceedings for, or the entry of a stop order, suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus; and if the Commission should enter such a stop order, to use its best efforts to obtain the lifting or removal of such order as soon as possible.

(h) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(i) If, during such period after the first date of the Offering as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representative will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(j) If, at or after the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is necessary or appropriate for a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, or a Rule 462 Registration Statement, to be filed with the Commission and become effective before the Shares may be sold, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment or such Registration Statement to be filed and become effective, and will pay any applicable fees in accordance with the Securities Act, as soon as possible; and the Company will advise the Representative promptly and, if requested by the Representative, will confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such post-effective amendment or such Registration Statement has become effective, and (ii) if Rule 430A or 430C under the Securities Act is used, when the Prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (which the Company agrees to file in a timely manner in accordance with such Rules).

8. Covenants of the Selling Shareholders. Each Selling Shareholder covenants to each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Such Selling Shareholder has or shall furnish to the Representative on or prior to the date hereof, a “lock-up” agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, which lock-up agreement shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Selling Shareholder.

(b) Each Selling Shareholder agrees to advise the Representative promptly, and if requested by the Representative, confirm such advice in writing, so long as delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares by an underwriter or dealer may be required under the Securities Act, any change in information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus that relates to such Selling Shareholder.

(c) Such Selling Shareholder will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares or any other reference security, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Shares or otherwise, and such Selling Shareholder will, and shall cause each of its affiliates to, comply with all applicable provisions of Regulation M. If the limitations of Rule 102 do not apply with respect to the Offered Shares or any other reference security pursuant to any exception set forth in Section (d) of Rule 102, then promptly upon notice from the Representatives (or, if later, at the time stated in the notice), such Selling Shareholder will, and shall cause each of its affiliates to, comply with Rule 102 as though such exception were not available but the other provisions of Rule 102 (as interpreted by the Commission) did apply.

9. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its and the Selling Shareholders’ obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel, the Company’s accountants and counsel for the Selling Shareholders in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in

connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any securities or blue sky memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares under the securities laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares may be offered or sold and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under such securities laws as provided in Section 7(k) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with a “blue sky” memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Shares by FINRA, (v) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Common Stock and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the Exchange, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Offering, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel, food and lodging expenses of representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show (of which one-half of the expense of any chartered aircraft shall be paid by the Underwriters), (ix) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement, (x) all expenses in connection with any offer and sale of the Shares outside of the United States, including filing fees and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with offers and sales outside of the United States and the preparation of any prospectus wrappers or disclosures deemed advisable or necessary to comply with foreign securities laws, and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.

Whether or not the sale of the Shares provided for herein is consummated, the Selling Shareholders will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the Selling Shareholders’ obligations hereunder that are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 9, including (i) any fees and expenses of counsel for and other advisors to the Selling Shareholders and (ii) all expenses and taxes incident to the sale and delivery of the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders to the Underwriters hereunder.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. Notwithstanding the above, if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6

is not satisfied, because of any termination of this Agreement by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any obligation or covenant hereunder or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, then the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, through Baird on demand for all documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or in furtherance of the Offering.

The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.

10. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including actions and other proceedings in respect thereof and including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such claim, action or other proceeding (any of the foregoing being a “Loss”), caused by, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 10(a) to the extent that such Losses are caused by, arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(b) Each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all Losses caused by, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or

necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading , in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholder Information relating to such Selling Shareholder. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under this Section 10(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all Losses caused by, arising from or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show or the Prospectus or any amendment, supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(d) In case any claim, action or other proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company,

its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such law firm shall be designated in writing by Baird. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such law firm shall be designated in writing by the persons named as attorneys in fact for the Selling Shareholders under the Powers of Attorney. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, then the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on Losses that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the Offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or

alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sellers or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.

(f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

11. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representative to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (b) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, LLC, or the NASDAQ Global Market, or by order of the Commission or FINRA or any other governmental authority, (c) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended or materially limited on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (d) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (e) any moratorium or material limitation on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or Wisconsin state authorities, (f) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, act of terrorism involving the United States or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (g) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or

elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (f) or (g), makes it, in the Representative’s judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

12. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. (a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

(b) If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date (the “Defaulted Shares”), then the Representative shall have right in its discretion to arrange for the purchase by one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, of all but not less than all of the Defaulted Shares in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If within 36 hours after such default by any Underwriter, the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Defaulted Shares, then the Sellers shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours (which may be waived by the Sellers) within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representative to purchase the Defaulted Shares on such terms as are acceptable to the Sellers. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representative notifies the Company that it has so arranged for the purchase of the Defaulted Shares, or the Sellers notify the Representative that they have so arranged for the purchase of the Defaulted Shares, the Representative or the Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to the Defaulted Shares.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of Defaulted Shares by the Representative or the Sellers as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of Defaulted Shares that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, then the Sellers shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under this Agreement at the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata shares (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Defaulted Shares for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(d) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of Defaulted Shares by the Representative or the Sellers as provided above, the aggregate number of Defaulted Shares that remains unpurchased [does not exceed] one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, or if the Sellers shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require the non-

defaulting Underwriters to purchase the Defaulted Shares, then this Agreement (or, with respect to an Option Closing Date, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Sellers, except for expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 9 and the indemnification and contribution agreements in Section 10 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

13. Default by the Selling Shareholders. If one or more of the Selling Shareholders shall fail or refuse on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date to sell and deliver the number of Shares that the Selling Shareholder is obligated to sell hereunder, then the Underwriters may, at the option of the Representative, by notice from the Representative to the Company, terminate this Agreement without liability on the fault of any non-defaulting party. In any such case the Representative, the Company or the Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus and in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section shall not relieve the defaulting Selling Shareholder from liability in respect of any default of the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.

14. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters set forth or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. The provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

15. Entire Agreement; No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

(b) The Company and the Selling Shareholders acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, any Selling Shareholder or any other person; (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the Selling Shareholders only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any; (iii) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering and each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders has consulted its or his respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it or he deemed appropriate; and (iv) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholders. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholders waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Offering.

16. Intended Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors. No purchaser of Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any individual or entity, other than the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors, and the controlling persons, affiliates, officers and directors referred to in Sections 9 and 10 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement is intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors, and said controlling persons, affiliates, officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no one else.

17. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or other provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or other provision hereof. If any Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or other provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make the remainder of this Agreement valid and enforceable.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

19. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin.

20. TRIAL BY JURY. THE COMPANY (ON ITS BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES), EACH OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND EACH OF THE UNDERWRITERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
