FIRST MANITOWOC BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly First Manitowoc Bancorp, Inc.'s ("Corporation") financial position,
results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the periods presented. All adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year. This report should be read in
conjunction with the Corporation's 1999 annual report on Form 10-K.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
NOTE 2: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
subsidiaries. The Corporation is a bank holding company that engages in its
business through its sole subsidiary, First National Bank in Manitowoc ("Bank"),
a nationally chartered commercial bank. The Bank has a wholly owned investment
subsidiary, FNBM Investment Corp. All material intercompany transactions and
balances are eliminated. Certain items in the prior period consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the March 31, 2000
presentation.
The Corporation consummated the acquisition of Dairy State Financial Services,
Inc. ("Dairy"), a Wisconsin bank holding company, in December 1999. Dairy's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Dairy State Bank, (DSB), had two locations in Plymouth,
Wisconsin, which are now branch offices of the Bank. Dairy had approximately $66
million in assets at date of acquisition. Dairy and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
DSB, were merged into the Bank at date of acquisition. The transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and goodwill of
approximately $7.9 million was recorded. The Company's financial statements
reflect the accounts and operations of Dairy beginning on December 1, 1999. The
Corporation recorded all Dairy assets and liabilities at fair value at date of
acquisition.

All per share financial information has been adjusted to reflect the five for
four stock dividend declared on April 16, 1999. Weighted average shares
outstanding were 1,734,317 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,317,000 compared to
$1,341,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $24,000, or
1.79%. Interest income increased $1,664,000 primarily as a result of the
increase in loans from the Dairy acquisition and an increase in yields. Interest
expense increased $866,000 primarily as a result of the increase in deposits
from the Dairy acquisition. Other operating income increased $36,000 primarily
as a result of an increase in service charges from the additional deposit
accounts obtained in the Dairy acquisition and an increase in earnings by the
Bank's data processing center, which is a corporate joint venture. Other
operating expense increased $920,000. This is a result of increased salaries and
employee benefits expense due to the additional salaries and wages for employees
acquired as part of the Dairy acquisition, the new staff at the Bank's new
office in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, and annual merit increases in wages for
employees. In addition, there was one more pay period in the first quarter of
2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999. Occupancy expense increased as a
result of the new offices obtained in the Dairy acquisition and the new office
in Ashwaubenon. Amortization of goodwill increased as a result of the Dairy
acquisition. Other expenses increased due to increased printing and supplies
expense related to the Dairy acquisition. Earnings per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $0.76 compared to $0.77 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.
Return on average assets (ROA) on an annualized basis for the first quarter of
2000 was 1.15% compared to 1.48% for the first quarter in 1999. Return on
average equity (ROE) on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2000 was

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income is the principal source of earnings for a banking company.
It represents the differences between interest and fees earned on the loan and
investment portfolios offset by the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.
The three months ended March 31, 2000 has been characterized by generally
increasing interest rates. Because deposits and loans and other investments
reprice at different rates and as a result of changes in volume, the Bank's net
interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased in 2000 and 1999.
Net interest margin is calculated as tax equivalent net interest income divided
by average earning assets and represents the Bank's net yield on its earning
assets. The tax equivalent adjustment was calculated using the statutory federal
income tax rate of 34%.
FIRST QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1999:
Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) for the three months ended March
31, 2000 increased by $862,744 or 24.14% compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Interest income increased $1,726,635 primarily as a result of
the increase in loans from the Dairy acquisition and an increase in yields. For
the first quarter of 2000, the average balance for the loans acquired from Dairy
was $53,944,000. Total average loans increased from $228,414,000 for the first
quarter of 1999 to $302,855,000 for the first quarter of 2000 while interest
rates on loans increased from 8.89% for the first quarter of 1999 to 8.95% for
the first quarter of 2000. Interest expense increased $863,890 primarily as a
result of the increase in deposits from the Dairy acquisition. For the first
quarter of 2000, the average balance for the deposits acquired from Dairy was
$59,053,000. Total average interest-bearing deposits increased from $234,187,000
for the first quarter of 1999 to $294,527,000 for the first quarter of 2000
while interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 4.60% for
the first quarter of 1999 to 4.63% for the first quarter of 2000. The interest
rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield on interest
earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, was
3.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of 30 basis points
over the interest rate spread of 3.49% for the three months ended March 31,
1999.
Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 4.38% compared
with 4.24% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Bank charged $125,000 to expense
for the provision for loan loss compared to $150,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.

<PAGE> 13
The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans is
primarily a result of a lower allowance on the loans acquired from Dairy.
There are several factors that are included in the analysis of the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses. Management considers loan volume trends, levels
and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, current problem credits, national
and local economic trends and conditions, concentrations of credit by industry,
current and historical levels of charge-offs, the experience and ability of the
lending staff, and other miscellaneous factors. Management has determined the
allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses in its
loan portfolio as of March 31, 2000 based on its most recent evaluation of these
factors.
The factor of loan volume trends is based on actual lending activity. The loan
volume trends factor is for estimated losses that are believed to be inherently
part of the loan portfolio but that have not yet been identified as specific
problem credits. The factor current problem credits includes the exposure
believed to exist for specifically identified problem loans determined on a
loan-by-loan basis.
A table showing the allocation of allowance for loan losses is shown below.

</TABLE>
Specific problem loans includes the factor of current problem credits for the
exposure of specifically identified problem loans. Loan volume allocation
includes the factor of loan volume trends, with management's goal for this
factor to maintain an adequate loan loss reserve for outstanding loans less the
specifically identified current problem credits. The allocation of the allowance
among the various loan types is based on the average proportion of the loan
types that make up the specific problem loans. The unallocated portion of the
allowance consists of the other factors included in the analysis because those
factors cannot be identified to specific loans or loan categories.
The allocation and total for the allowance for loan losses is not to be
interpreted as a single year's exposure for loss nor the loss for any specified
time period.
NONPERFORMING LOANS
It is the policy of the Bank to place a loan in non-accrual status whenever
there is substantial doubt about the ability of a borrower to pay principal or
interest on any outstanding credit. Management considers such factors as payment
history, the nature and value of collateral securing the loan and the overall
economic situation of the borrower when making a non-accrual decision.
Non-accrual loans are closely monitored by management. A non-accruing loan is
restored to current status when the prospects of future contractual payments are
no longer in doubt.
Total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2000 were $1,620,000, a decrease of
$19,000 from December 31, 1999. The following table presents nonperforming and
nonaccrual loan information as of the dates indicated.

Other operating income for the first quarter of 2000 was $629,000 compared to
$593,000 for the first quarter of 1999, an increase of $36,000 or 6.07%. The
increase resulted primarily from increased service charges from the additional
deposit accounts obtained in the Dairy acquisition and an increase in earnings
by the Bank's data processing center, which is a corporate joint venture. The
decrease in gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale is a result of a
decrease in the number of new residential mortgage loans and refinancings
processed and sold to the FNMA secondary market during the first quarter 2000
due to interest rate increases.

FIRST QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1999:
Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2000 was $2,852,000 compared to
$1,932,000 for the first quarter of 1999, an increase of $920,000, or 47.62%.
The increase is a result of increased salaries and employee benefits expense due
to the additional salaries and wages for employees acquired as part of the Dairy
acquisition, the new staff at the Bank's new office in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin,
and annual merit increases in wages for employees. In addition, there was one
more pay period in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of
1999. Occupancy expense increased as a result of the new offices obtained in the
Dairy acquisition and the new office in Ashwaubenon. Amortization of goodwill
increased as a result of the Dairy acquisition. Other expenses increased due to
increased regulatory and professional fees, increased insurance expense,
increased collection and repossession expense, increased FDIC deposit insurance
expense resulting from increased deposits, increased telephone expense and the
expense related to a deferred compensation agreement the Corporation has with
one of its officers.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 18.65%
compared to 20.18% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in
effective tax rates in the period is a direct result of loans and securities
transferred from the Bank to the Bank's FNBM Investment Corp. subsidiary which
are not subject to state income tax.
BALANCE SHEET
MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1999
The Corporation's total assets decreased from $462.5 million at December 31,
1999 to $452.9 million at March 31, 2000. Cash and federal funds sold decreased
$19.4 million while loans increased $8.7 million. The decrease in cash and
federal funds sold is a result of lower cash balances being kept on hand after
the passing of the beginning of the Year 2000 and the payout to Dairy
stockholders relating to the Dairy acquisition. The increase in loans is a
result of customer demand for commercial and agricultural loans and commercial
real estate loans.
Deposits decreased $16.1 million to $347.2 million at March 31, 2000 from $363.3
million at December 31, 1999. Long-term borrowings increased $5.0 million from
$36.0 million at December 31, 1999 to $41.0 million at March 31, 2000. The
decrease in deposits was a result of the payout to Dairy stockholders relating
to the Dairy acquisition. The increase in long-term borrowings was a result of
the borrowing of funds in order to fund the increase in loans, as noted above.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity describes the ability of the Bank to meet financial obligations that
arise out of the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to
meet borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Bank
and to fund current and planned expenditures. The Bank maintains its asset
liquidity position internally through cash and cash equivalents, short term
investments, the maturity distribution of the investment portfolio, loan
repayments and income from earning assets. A substantial portion of the
investment portfolio contains readily marketable securities that could be
converted to cash immediately. On the liability side of the balance sheet,
liquidity is affected by the timing of maturing liabilities and the ability to
generate new deposits or borrowings as needed. Other sources are available
through borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank and
from lines of credit approved at correspondent banks. Management knows of no
trend or event which will have a material impact on the Bank's ability to
maintain liquidity at adequate levels.

Total stockholders' equity increased $1.3 million from $34.5 million at December
31, 1999 to $35.8 million at March 31, 2000. Net income for the three month
period ending March 31, 2000 was $1.3 million.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.
Management believes, as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from
the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized and adequately capitalized,
respectively, under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.
YEAR 2000
The Bank experienced no problems with hardware or software systems at the
beginning of the Year 2000 and continues to experience no problems or issues
related to the millennium issue. The Bank is not aware of any borrowers
incurring significant Year 2000 issues or any vendors used by the Bank which
have incurred significant Year 2000 issues.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 established accounting and reporting
standards requiring that all derivative financial instruments be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
statement further requires that changes in a derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges typically allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results in the hedged item in the income
statement and requires that the Corporation formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting
treatment.
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which extended the effective date of
SFAS 133 by one year to apply to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Corporation may implement the statement as of the beginning of any quarter after
issuance, however it cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS 133 must be applied
to derivative financial instruments that were issued, acquired or substantially
modified after December 31, 1997.
14
<PAGE> 17
In the opinion of management, the Corporation currently has no derivative
financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 133 and 137 is not expected to
have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 22, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted restated
and amended Bylaws of the Corporation, which are included in this Form 10-Q as
Exhibit 3.2.
On March 20, 2000, the Bank opened a new branch office located at 2865 South
Ridge Road, Green Bay, Wisconsin 54324 ("Ashwaubenon Branch Office").
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

<PAGE> 8
2.05 UNANIMOUS CONSENT WITHOUT MEETING. Any action that may be taken at
a meeting of the Shareholders may be taken without a meeting if: (a) a consent
in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all of the
Shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof; or (b)
if the Articles of Incorporation so provide, by Shareholders who would be
entitled to vote at a meeting of those shares with voting power to cast not less
than the minimum number or, in the case of voting by voting groups, numbers of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted.
2.06 CLOSING OF STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE. A
Shareholder shall mean the person in whose name shares are registered in the
stock transfer books of the Corporation or the beneficial owner of shares to the
extent of the rights granted by a nominee certificate on file with the
Corporation. Such nominee certificates, if any, shall be reflected in the stock
transfer books of the Corporation. For the purpose of determining Shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any
adjournment or postponement thereof, Shareholders entitled to demand a Special
Meeting, Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or in order to
make a determination of Shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of
Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated
period but not to exceed, in any case, 70 days. If the stock transfer books
shall be closed for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to the
notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, such books shall be closed
for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the
stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of Shareholders, such date in any case to
be not more than 70 days and, in the case of a meeting of Shareholders, not less
than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such
determination of Shareholders is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are
not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders or Shareholders
entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the close of business on the date on
which notice of the meeting is mailed or on the date on which the resolution of
the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be,
shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a
determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders
has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall be applied
to any adjournment or postponement thereof except when the Board of Directors
fixes a new record date or date for the closing of the stock transfer books,
which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned or postponed to a date more than
120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, or the determination has
been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and the stated period
of closing has expired.
2.07 VOTING RECORD. The Secretary shall, before each meeting of
Shareholders, make a complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, or any adjournment thereof, with the address of and the number of
shares held by each Shareholder. Such record shall be produced and kept open at
the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any
Shareholder during the whole time of the meeting or any adjournment thereof for
the purposes of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima
facie evidence as to who are the Shareholders entitled to examine such record or
transfer books or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders. Failure to comply with
the requirements of this section shall not affect
8
<PAGE> 9
the validity of any action taken at such meeting.
2.08 QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group as
defined in the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law may take action on a matter at
a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter.
Unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law
provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by
a voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that
matter. Once a share is represented for any purposes 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 or
postponed meeting. If a quorum exists, action on a matter by a voting group is
approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed
the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation or the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law require a greater number of affirmative
votes. "Voting group" means: (a) all shares of one or more classes or series
that under the Articles of Incorporation or the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law are entitled to vote and be counted together collectively on a matter at a
meeting of Shareholders; or (b) all shares that under the Articles of
Incorporation or the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law are entitled to vote
generally on a matter. Though less than a quorum of the outstanding shares are
represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn
the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting
at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.
2.09 PROXIES. At all meetings of Shareholders, a Shareholder entitled
to vote may vote in person or by proxy. A Shareholder may appoint a proxy to
vote or otherwise act for the Shareholder by signing an appointment form, either
personally or by his or her attorney-in-fact. Such proxy appointment is
effective when received by the Secretary before or at the time of the meeting.
Unless otherwise provided in the appointment form of proxy, a proxy appointment
may be revoked by the Shareholder at any time before it is voted, either by
written notice filed with the Secretary or the acting Secretary of the meeting
or by oral notice given by the Shareholder to the presiding officer during the
meeting. The presence of a Shareholder who has filed his or her proxy
appointment shall not of itself constitute a revocation. No proxy appointment
shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless
otherwise provided in the appointment form of proxy. The Board of Directors
shall have the power and authority to make rules establishing presumptions as to
the validity and sufficiency of proxy appointments.
2.10 VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share shall be entitled to one
vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of Shareholders, except
to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any voting group or groups
are enlarged, limited or denied by the Articles of Incorporation.
2.11 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS.
A. OTHER CORPORATIONS. Shares standing in the name of another
corporation may be voted either in person or by proxy, by the
president of such corporation or
9
<PAGE> 10
any other officer appointed by such president. An appointment form
of proxy executed by any principal officer of such other
corporation or assistant thereto shall be conclusive evidence of
the signer's authority to act, in the absence of express notice to
the Corporation, given in writing to the Secretary, or the
designation of some other person by the board of directors or by
the bylaws of such other corporation.
B. LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES AND FIDUCIARIES. Shares held by an
administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver or assignee for creditors may be voted by
him, her or it either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of
such shares into his, her or its name, provided that there is
filed with the Secretary before or at the time of meeting proper
evidence of his, her or its incumbency and the number of shares
held by him, her or it either in person or by proxy. An
appointment form of proxy executed by a fiduciary shall be
conclusive evidence of the signer's authority to act, in the
absence of express notice to the Corporation, given in writing to
the Secretary, that such manner of voting is expressly prohibited
or otherwise directed by the document creating the fiduciary
relationship.
C. PLEDGEES. A Shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be
entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been
transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the
pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred;
provided, however, a pledgee shall be entitled to vote shares held
of record by the pledgor if the Corporation receives acceptable
evidence of the pledgee's authority to sign.
D. TREASURY STOCK AND SUBSIDIARIES. Neither treasury shares, nor
shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares
entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other
corporation is held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any
meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding
shares entitled to vote, but shares of its own issue held by the
Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, or held by such other
corporation in a fiduciary capacity, may be voted and shall be
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares
entitled to vote.
E. MINORS. Shares held by a minor may be voted by such minor in
person or by proxy and no such vote shall be subject to
disaffirmance or avoidance, unless prior to such vote the
Secretary has received written notice or has actual knowledge that
such Shareholder is a minor. Shares held by a minor may be voted
by a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or
conservator representing the minor if evidence of such fiduciary
status, acceptable to the Corporation, is presented.
F. INCOMPETENTS AND SPENDTHRIFTS. Shares held by an incompetent or
spendthrift may be voted by such incompetent or spendthrift in
person or by proxy and no such vote shall be subject to
disaffirmance or avoidance, unless prior to
10
<PAGE> 11
such vote the Secretary has actual knowledge that such Shareholder
has been adjudicated an incompetent or spendthrift or actual
knowledge of judicial proceedings for appointment of a guardian.
Shares held by an incompetent or spendthrift may be voted by a
personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or
conservator representing the minor if evidence of such fiduciary
status, acceptable to the Corporation, is presented.
G. JOINT TENANTS. Shares registered in the names of two or more
individuals who are named in the registration as joint tenants may
be voted in person or by proxy signed by any one or more of such
individuals if either (i) no other such individual or his or her
legal representative is present and claims the right to
participate in the voting of such shares or prior to the vote
files with the Secretary a contrary written voting authorization
or direction or written denial of authority of the individual
present or signing the appointment form of proxy proposed to be
voted, or (ii) all such other individuals are deceased and the
Secretary has no actual knowledge that the survivor has been
adjudicated not to be the successor to the interests of those
deceased.
2.12 CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board, or in the
Chairman's absence, the President, or in their absence, such Vice President as
is designated by the Board of Directors, or in their absence, any person chosen
by the Shareholders, shall call the meeting to order and act as Chairperson of
the meeting. Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 2.04 shall be eligible to serve as Directors. Only such business as
shall have been brought before a meeting in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.04 shall be eligible to be conducted. The Chairperson of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether any nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 2.04, and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance therewith, to declare that such defective proposal
shall be disregarded. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as Secretary of
all meetings of the Shareholders, but in the absence of the Secretary, the
Chairperson of the meeting may appoint any other person to act as Secretary of
the meeting.
2.13 INVALIDITY. The Chairperson, upon recommendation of the Secretary,
may reject a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment, if the Secretary or
other Officer or agent of the Corporation who is authorized to tabulate votes,
acting in good faith, has reasonable doubt about the validity of the signature
on it or about the signatory's authority to sign for the Shareholder. The
Corporation and its Officer or agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent,
waiver or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law shall not be liable for damages to the Shareholders for
consequences of the acceptance or rejection.
2.14 WAIVER OF NOTICE. A Shareholder may waive any notice required by
the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these
Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver shall
be in writing and signed by the Shareholder entitled to the notice, contain the
same information that would have been required in the notice under the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law (except that the time and place of meeting need not be
stated), and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the corporate
11
<PAGE> 12
records. A Shareholder's attendance at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, in
person or by proxy, waives objection to all of the following: (a) lack of notice
or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Shareholder promptly upon arrival
or at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding 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.
2.15 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT. For purposes of this Article II, "public
announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by 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 Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
3.01 GENERAL POWERS. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or
under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors, subject to any
limitation set forth in the Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation.
3.02 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of Directors shall be as provided
in Section 0.03, all of whom shall be nominated and elected by the Shareholders
as provided herein.
3.03 TERM OF OFFICE AND QUALIFICATIONS. Elected Directors shall hold
office for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and
qualified, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, or until their death,
resignation or removal. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three
classes which are as equal in number as possible. The term of office of the
first class of Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting after their
initial election and when their successors are elected and qualified, the term
of office of the second class shall expire at the second annual meeting after
their initial election and when their successors are elected and qualified and
the terms of office of the third class shall expire at the third annual meeting
after their initial election and when their successors are elected and
qualified. At each annual meeting after the initial election and classification,
the class of Directors whose term expires at the time of such election shall be
elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting and until their
successors are elected and qualified. A person who has attained the age of 70
years may not be nominated for election to the Board of Directors; any Director
who attains the age of 70 years during the course of his or her term as
Director, shall serve up to the first Annual Meeting following such birthday, at
which time he or she shall be ineligible for re-election.
3.04 NOMINATIONS. Nominations for the election of directors shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04, which requirements are
hereby incorporated by reference in Section 3.04.
3.05 REGULAR MEETINGS. A Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors
shall be held without other notice than Section 3.05 immediately after, and at
the same place as, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, for election of corporate
officers and transaction of other business. The Board of Directors may provide
by resolution the time and place for holding additional meetings
12
<PAGE> 13
without other notice than such resolution.
3.06 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special Meetings of the Board of Directors shall
be held whenever called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the
Secretary upon written request of any two Directors. The Secretary shall give
sufficient notice of such meeting, to be not less than the number of hours prior
thereto as set forth in Section 0.04, in person or by mail, telephone,
telegraph, teletype, facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication
as to enable the Directors so notified to attend such meeting. The Chairman or
Secretary who calls the meeting may fix any place, within or without the State
of Wisconsin, as the place for holding any Special Meeting of the Board of
Directors.
3.07 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required to be given to
any Director under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any provisions of
law, a waiver thereof in writing, signed at any time, whether before or after
the time of meeting, by the Director entitled to such notice, shall be deemed
equivalent to the giving of such notice, and the Corporation shall retain copies
of such waivers in its corporate records. A Director's attendance at or
participation in a meeting waives any required notice to him or her of the
meeting unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his
or her arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the
meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the
meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
Regular or Special Meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the
notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
3.08 QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law or the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, a majority of the
Directors then in office, at a meeting convened according to the Bylaws, shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; but a majority of the
Directors present or participating (though less than a quorum) may adjourn the
meeting from time to time without further notice.
3.09 VACANCIES. Vacancies, including those created by an increase in
the number of Directors on the Board of Directors, may be filled by the
remaining Directors. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the
unexpired term of his or her predecessor. In the absence of action by the
remaining Directors, the Shareholders may fill such vacancy at a Special Meeting
or an Annual Meeting in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation or the
Bylaws.
3.10 REMOVAL. The Shareholders may remove one or more Directors, with
or without cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, the notice of which
reflects that purpose, in accordance with the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law.
3.11 COMPENSATION. A Director may receive such compensation for
services as is determined by resolution of the Board irrespective of any
personal interest of its members. A Director also may serve the Corporation in
any other capacity and receive compensation therefor. The Board of Directors
also shall have authority to provide for or to delegate authority to an
appropriate committee to provide for reasonable pensions, disability or death
benefits and other benefits or payments, to Directors, Officers and employees
and to their estates, families, dependents or beneficiaries on account of prior
services rendered to the Corporation by such
13
<PAGE> 14
Directors, Officers and employees.
3.12 CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board or, in the
Chairman's absence, the President, or in their absence, such Vice President as
is designated by the Board of Directors, shall call meetings of the Board of
Directors to order and shall act as Chairperson of the meeting. The Secretary
shall act as Secretary of all meetings of the Board of Directors, but in the
absence of the Secretary, the Chairperson of the meeting may appoint an
Assistant Secretary or any Director or other person present or participating to
act as Secretary of the meeting.
3.13 MANNER OF ACTING. If a quorum is present or participating when a
vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of Directors present or
participating is the act of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board
of Directors, unless the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law or the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws require the vote of a greater number of Directors.
3.14 PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT. A Director who is present at or
participates in a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof of
which he or she is a member, at which action on any corporate matter is taken,
shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent
shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he or she shall file
his or her written dissent to such action with the person acting as the
Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such
dissent by registered mail to the Secretary immediately after the adjournment of
the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in
favor of such action.
3.15 UNANIMOUS CONSENT WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or
permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any provision of law to
be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting or by resolution may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by all of the Directors then in office.
3.16 MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE OR BY OTHER COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY.
Meetings of the Board of Directors or committees may be conducted by telephone
or by other communication technology in accordance with Section 180.0820 of the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law or any successor statute.

Chairman of the Board, the President or a designated Vice
President of the Corporation in the order as provided in Paragraph
A of Section 5.06, without necessity of any authorization by the

persons designated in the manner above stated as the proxy or
proxies of the Corporation shall have full right, power and
authority to vote the shares or other securities issued by such
other corporation and owned by the Corporation the same as such
shares or other securities might be voted by the Corporation.
ARTICLE VI. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER
6.01 CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Certificates representing shares of the
Corporation shall be in such form, consistent with law, as shall be determined
by the Board of Directors. Such Certificates shall be signed by the Chairman of
the Board, the President or a Vice President and the Secretary or by another
Officer designed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Board of
Directors. All Certificates shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise
identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented
thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be
entered on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. All Certificates
surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new
Certificate shall be issued until the former Certificate for a like number of
shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except as provided in Section
6.06.
6.02 FACSIMILE SIGNATURES AND SEAL. The seal of the Corporation, if
any, on any Certificates may be a facsimile. The signature of the Chairman of
the Board, the President or other authorized Officer upon a Certificate may be a
facsimile if the Certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or
a registrar, other than the Corporation itself or an employee of the
19
<PAGE> 20
Corporation.
6.03 SIGNATURE BY FORMER OFFICER. If any Officer who has signed or
whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Certificate shall have ceased
to be an Officer before such Certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were an Officer at the date of
its issue.
6.04 TRANSFER OF SHARES. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for
registration of transfer, the Corporation may treat the Shareholder of such
shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and
otherwise to have and exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. Where a
Certificate is presented to the Corporation with a request to register for
transfer, the Corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person
suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if:
A. There were on or with the Certificate the necessary
endorsements; and
B. The Corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or
has discharged any such duty.
The Corporation may require reasonable assurance that said endorsements are
genuine and effective and in compliance with such other regulations as may be
prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.
6.05. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The face or reverse side of each
Certificate shall bear a conspicuous notation of any restriction imposed by the
Corporation upon the transfer of such shares represented by a Certificate.
6.06 LOST, DESTROYED OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. Where the owner claims
that his or her Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, no
Certificate shall be issued in place thereof unless the owner:
A. Files with the Corporation an affidavit stating that such
Certificate was lost, destroyed or stolen before the Corporation
has notice that such shares have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser;
B. Files with the Corporation a sufficient indemnity bond; and
C. Satisfies such other reasonable requirements as may be
prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.
6.07 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
received for shares may consist of any tangible or intangible property or
benefit to the Corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services
performed, contracts for services to be performed or other securities of the
Corporation. When the Corporation receives the consideration for which the Board
of Directors authorized the issuance of shares, the shares
20
<PAGE> 21
issued for that consideration are fully paid and nonassessable, except as
provided by Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, or
any successor statute, which may require further assessment for unpaid wages to
employees under certain circumstances. The Corporation may place in escrow
shares issued for a contract for future services or benefits or a promissory
note, 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 are received or the note is paid.
If the services are not performed, the benefits are not received or the note is
not paid, the Corporation may cancel, in whole or in part, the shares escrowed
or restricted and the distributions credited.
6.08 UNCERTIFICATED SHARES. In accordance with Section 180.0626 of the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, or any successor statute, the Board of
Directors may issue any shares of any of its classes or series without
Certificates. The authorization does not affect shares already represented by
Certificates unless the Certificates are surrendered to the Corporation. Within
a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of shares without Certificates,
the Corporation shall send the Shareholder a written statement of the
information required on share certificates by Sections 180.0625 and 180.0627, or
any successor statutes, if applicable, of the Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law, and by the Bylaws. The Corporation shall maintain at its offices or at the
office of its transfer agent, an original or duplicate stock transfer book
containing the names and addresses of all Shareholders and the number of shares
held by each Shareholder. If the shares are uncertificated, the Corporation
shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its
books as the owner of shares for all purposes and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part
of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
6.09 TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The Corporation may maintain one or
more transfer offices or agencies, each in charge of a transfer agent designated
by the Board of Directors, where the shares of stock of the Corporation shall be
transferable. The Corporation also may maintain one or more registry offices,
each in charge of a registrar designated by the Board of Directors, where such
shares of stock be registered. The same person or entity may be both a transfer
agent and registrar.
6.10 STOCK REGULATIONS. The Board of Directors shall have the power and
authority to make all such further rules and regulations not inconsistent with
the laws of the State of Wisconsin as it may deem expedient concerning the
issue, transfer and registration of certificates representing shares of the
Corporation.
ARTICLE VII.
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
7.01 INDEMNIFICATION.
A. Any person, or such person's estate or personal representative,
made or threatened with being made a party to any action, suit,
arbitration, or proceeding (civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, whether formal or informal), which
21
<PAGE> 22
involves foreign, federal, state or local law, by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a Director or Officer of the
Corporation or of any corporation or other enterprise for which he
or she served at the Corporation's request as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, member of any decision-making committee,
employee, or agent, shall be indemnified by the Corporation for
all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding to the extent
he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise.
B. In cases where a person described in Paragraph A of Section
7.01 is not successful on the merits or otherwise, the Corporation
shall indemnify such person against liability and reasonable
expenses incurred by him or her in any such proceeding, unless
liability was incurred because the person breached or failed to
perform a duty he or she owed to the Corporation and the breach or
failure to perform constituted any of the following:
1. A willful failure to deal fairly with the Corporation or its
Shareholders in connection with a matter in which the Director
or Officer had a material conflict of interest;
2. A violation of criminal law, unless the Director or Officer
had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful
or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful;
3. A transaction from which the Director or Officer derived an
improper personal profit; or
4. Willful misconduct.
C. The determination whether indemnification shall be required
under Paragraph B of Section 7.01 shall be made according to one
of the following methods selected by the Director or Officer:
1. By a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors
consisting of Directors who are not at the time parties to the
same or related proceedings. If a quorum of such disinterested
Directors cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee
duly appointed by the Board of Directors and consisting solely
of two or more Directors who are not at the time parties to the
same or related proceedings. Directors who are parties to the
same or related proceedings may participate in the designation
of members of the committee;
2. By independent legal counsel selected by a quorum of the
Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in
Clause 1 of this Paragraph C or, if unable to obtain such a
quorum or committee, by a majority vote of the Board of
Directors, including Directors who are parties to the same or
related proceedings; or
22
<PAGE> 23
3. By the court conducting the proceedings or another court of
competent jurisdiction, either on application by the Director
or Officer for an initial determination or on application for
review of an adverse determination under Clause 1 or 2 of this
Paragraph C.
D. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement
or conviction, or upon a plea of no contest or an equivalent plea,
does not, by itself, create a presumption that indemnification of
the Director or Officer is not required.
E. A Director or Officer who seeks indemnification under Section
7.01 shall make a written request to the Corporation.
F. Upon written request by a Director or Officer who is a party to
a proceeding described in Paragraph A of Section 7.01, the
Corporation may pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses as
incurred if the Director or Officer provides the Corporation with
all of the following:
1. A written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that
he or she has not breached or failed to perform his or her
duties to the Corporation; and
2. A written undertaking, executed personally or on his or her
behalf, to repay the allowance and reasonable interest thereon,
to the extent that it is ultimately determined under Clause 1
or 2 of Paragraph C of Section 7.01, that indemnification is
not required or to the extent that indemnification is not
ordered by a court under Clause 3 of Paragraph C of Section
7.01. The undertaking under this Clause 2 shall be an unlimited
general obligation of the Director or Officer, may be accepted
without reference to his or her ability to repay the allowance
and may be secured or unsecured.
G. Paragraphs A through F of Section 7.01 shall also apply where a
person or such person's estate or personal representative is made
or threatened with being made a party to any proceeding described
in Paragraph A of this by reason of the fact that such person is
or was an employee of the Corporation, except that in addition to
the categories of conduct set forth in Paragraph B of Section 7.01
in relation to which the Corporation has no duty to indemnify, the
Corporation also shall have no duty to indemnify the employee
against liability and reasonable expenses incurred by him or her
in any such proceeding if liability was incurred because the
person breached or failed to perform a duty he or she owed to the
Corporation and the breach or failure to perform constituted
material negligence or material misconduct in performance of the
employee's duties to the Corporation.
H. Unless a Director or Officer of the Corporation has knowledge
that makes reliance unwarranted, a Director or Officer, in
discharging his or her duties to the Corporation, may rely on
information, opinions, reports or statements, any of
23
<PAGE> 24
which may be written or oral, formal or informal, including
financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or
presented by any of the following:
1. An Officer or employee of the Corporation whom the Director
or Officer believes in good faith to be reliable and competent
in the matters presented;
2. Legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to
matters the Director or Officer believes in good faith are
within the person's professional or expert competence; or
3. In the case of reliance by a Director, a committee of the
Board of Directors of which the Director is not a member if the
Director believes in good faith that the committee merits
confidence.
This Paragraph H does not apply to the liability of a Director for
improper declaration of dividends, distribution of assets,
corporate purchase of its own shares, distribution of assets to
Shareholders during liquidation, corporate loans made to an
Officer or Director under Wisconsin Business Corporation Law
Section 180.0832(1) or the reliance of a Director on financial
information represented as correct by Officers or independent or
certified public accountants under Wisconsin Business Corporation
Law Section 180.0826.
I. In discharging his or her duties to the Corporation and in
determining what he or she believes to be in the best interest of
the Corporation, a Director or Officer may, in addition to
considering the effects of any action on Shareholders, consider
the following:
1. The effects of the action on employees, suppliers and
customers of the Corporation;
2. The effects of the action on communities in which the
Corporation operates; or
3. Any other factor the Director or Officer considers
pertinent.
7.02 LIMITED LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS TO THE CORPORATION AND
SHAREHOLDERS.
A. Except as provided in Paragraph B of Section 7.02, a Director
or Officer is not liable to the Corporation, its Shareholders or
any person asserting rights on behalf of the Corporation or
Shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or
other monetary liabilities arising from a breach of, or failure to
perform, any duty resulting solely from his or her status as a
Director, unless the person asserting liability proves that the
breach or failure to perform constitutes any of the following:
24
<PAGE> 25
1. A willful failure to deal with the Corporation or
Shareholders in connection with a matter in which the Director
or Officer had a material conflict of interest;
2. A violation of criminal law, unless the Director or Officer
had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful
or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful;
3. A transaction from which the Director or Officer derived an
improper personal profit; or
4. Willful misconduct.
B. Section 7.02 does not apply to the liability of a Director or
Officer for improper declaration of dividends, distribution of
assets, corporate purchase of its own shares, distribution of
assets to Shareholders during liquidation, or for corporate loans
made to an Officer or Director under Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law Section 180.0832(1).

less than a majority of the shares present or represented at an Annual or
Special Meeting of the Shareholders at which a quorum is in attendance.
11.02 BY DIRECTORS. The Bylaws also may be altered, amended or repealed
and new bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors by affirmative vote of a
majority of the number of Directors present at or participating in any meeting
at which a quorum is in attendance; but no bylaw adopted by the Shareholders
shall be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors if such
25
<PAGE> 26
bylaw so provides.
11.03 IMPLIED AMENDMENTS. Any action taken or authorized by the
Shareholders or by the Board of Directors, which would be inconsistent with the
Bylaws then in effect but is taken or authorized by affirmative vote of not less
than the number of shares or the number of Directors required to amend the
Bylaws so that the Bylaws would be consistent with such action, shall be given
the same effect as though the Bylaws had been temporarily amended or suspended
so far, but only so far, as is necessary to permit the specific action so taken
or authorized.
