ARTICLE III
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
3.1. The Bank or any Noteholder shall have the right, power and authority to do all things
deemed necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement and protect
their interest in the Collateral Documents and, in the event of default in the timely or complete
performance or payment of any Guaranteed Obligation, the Bank or the Noteholder may institute or
appear in such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Bank or such Noteholder shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any of their rights hereunder, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Guaranty Agreement or in aid of the exercise of
any power granted herein or in any Collateral Document, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a default in payment of any
Guaranteed Obligation when due, the Bank or the Noteholder may institute a judicial proceeding for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Guarantor and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the
property of the Guarantor, wherever situated.

3.2. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Bank or any Noteholder herein is intended to
be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
3.3. Each and every default in the payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation shall
give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as
each cause of action arises. In the event of such a default, the Bank or any Noteholder shall have
the right to proceed first and directly against the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement without
proceeding against any other person, without exhausting any other remedies which it may have and
without resorting to any other security held by the Bank or the Noteholder.
3.4. The Guarantor agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable
attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the Bank or any Noteholder in enforcing or attempting to
enforce this Guaranty Agreement or protecting the rights of the Bank or the Noteholder hereunder
following any default on the part of the Guarantor hereunder, whether the same shall be enforced by
suit or otherwise and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding
brought by the Bank or any Noteholder under this Guaranty Agreement, any and every right the
Guarantor may have to (i) injunctive relief, (ii) a trial by jury, (iii) interpose any counterclaim
therein and (iv) have the same consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
3.5. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission
or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to
be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient.
3.6. This Guaranty Agreement is entered into by the Guarantor with the Bank for the benefit of
the Bank and any Noteholder each of whom shall be entitled to enforce performance and observance of
this Guaranty Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
GENERAL
4.1. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement shall arise absolutely and
unconditionally upon the execution, issue and delivery of the Notes. This Guaranty Agreement is
separate and independent of the Loan Documents. Any modification, limitation or discharge of the

whatsoever.

deemed to create any right in, or to be in whole or in part for the benefit of, any person other
than the Bank, Noteholder, the Guarantor, and its permitted successors and assigns.

agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof; (b) may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument; and (c) may be
modified only by an instrument signed by the duly authorized representatives of the parties and
only if the modification is made for the purpose of curing any ambiguities or formal defects or
making any other change which, in the opinion of the Bank or any Noteholder, does not adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholder.

TO BANK TO ENTER INTO THIS TRANSACTION, THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY AND ALL ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT, MAY BE LITIGATED IN COURTS WITHIN: (A) MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN WHERE THE BANK’S PRINCIPAL
PLACE OF BUSINESS IS LOCATED; OR (B) THE APPLICABLE COUNTY IN WISCONSIN, IOWA OR INDIANA WHERE THE
APPLICABLE FACILITY IS LOCATED. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF

AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE BANK TO ENTER INTO THIS
TRANSACTION.
