($500,000.00) together with interest thereon on the Due Date of May 1, 2011.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding

at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined below) plus 2.0% per annum
measured on the date the Note is issued with such rate changing as and when the
Prime Rate changes. The initial interest rate on this Note is 9.5%. The interest
rate will be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note for the actual
number of days that there is an outstanding balance based on a 365 day year.
As used herein, Prime Rate means the rate of interest announced by
Firstar Bank, N.A. from time to time as its Prime Rate.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower may not prepay any portion of the principal amount
owed under this Note prior to maturity without the prior written consent of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens:
(a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due; (b) Borrower fails to comply
with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition
contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other
agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender; (c) any representation or statement
made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or
misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished;
(d) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of
Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws; (e) any material adverse change occurs in
Borrower's financial condition or Lender reasonably believes that the prospect
of payment or performance for the indebtedness is impaired.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. This Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by
Lender in the State of Wisconsin. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon
Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Waukesha County
in the State of Wisconsin. This Note should be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
SUBORDINATION.
(A) The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is unsecured and is
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt (as defined below)
of the Borrower to the extent provided in this Section, and Lender agrees to
this subordination and shall be bound by its provisions.
(B) In the event of the occurrence of an event of default with respect
to any Senior Debt, as defined in the instrument under which the same is
outstanding, permitting the holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its
maturity; then in any such event all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full
before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, shall be made to the Lender. Upon the occurrence of any such event,
any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which
would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be payable or
deliverable in respect of this Note shall be paid or delivered directly to the
holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among
such holders until all Senior Debt has been paid in full. Amounts paid to the
holders of Senior Debt pertaining to this Note may be applied by the holders of
such Senior Debt to any such Senior Debt held at the discretion of such holder
and such payments shall not extinguish the obligation of Borrower to Lender
under this Note.
(C) If any payment or distribution of any character or any security,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by Lender under
this Note in contravention of any of the terms of this Note and before all the
Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or
security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over
or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time
outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders
for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the
extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full. Any amounts received by
Lender under this Note and turned over to holders of Senior Debt under this
Section shall be reinstated as owing to Lender.

(D) Except to the extent provided in this Section, nothing contained in
this Note shall impair, as between the Borrower and the Lender, the obligation
of the Borrower to pay to Lender the principal amount of this Note, interest on
such amount and collection costs, if any, as and when the same shall become due
and payable in accordance with the terms of this Note, or prevent Lender from
exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
or under this Note, all subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt
under this Section.
(E) The term "Senior Debt" as used herein shall mean (I) the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on any indebtedness of Borrower, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, other that the indebtedness incurred under this
Note or any indebtedness which, by its terms, is expressly made not senior to
this Note, and (II) Borrower's obligations to its depositors.
GENERAL PROVISIONS. Borrower agrees to pay Lender's cost and expenses
of enforcing this Note, including without limitation court costs and reasonable
attorney's fees. This Note benefits the Lender and its successors and assigns
and binds Borrower and Borrower's successors, assigns and representatives.
Lender may delay or forego enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this
Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or
endorses this Note to the extent allowed by law, waives presentment, demand for
payment, protest and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this
Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this
Note, whether as maker, guarantor, combination maker or endorser, shall be
released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend
repeatedly and for any length of time this loan, or release any party or
guarantor, or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest
in any collateral, and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without
the consent or notice to anyone. This Note is ineligible to be used as
collateral for a loan made by the Borrower.
