QBMKE\5979563.1
from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of December 19, 2002 by and between M&I and the Borrower to which Loan Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the Revolving Credit Loans evidenced hereby may be made and a description of the terms
