This agreement is dated as of April 25, 2006 (the “Agreement Date”), by and between ARI

WHEREAS, the Borrower executed a Line of Credit Note as evidence of indebtedness in the
original face amount of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), dated July 9,
2004 owing by the Borrower to the Bank, as same may have been amended or modified from time to
time (the “Note”), which Note has at all times been, and is now, continuously and without
interruption outstanding in favor of the Bank; and,
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested and the Bank has agreed that the Note be modified to the
limited extent as hereinafter set

2.2 Each of the Related Documents is modified to provide that it shall be a default or an
event of default thereunder if the Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the covenants of

that each of the following representations and warranties made in the Note and Related
Documents are true and will remain true until maturity of the Note, termination of the other

evidenced by the Note and other Related Documents:
4.1 No default or event of default under any of the Related Documents as modified hereby,
nor any event, that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would be a
default or an event of default under the Related Documents as modified herein has occurred and

documents, and instruments as reasonably required by the Bank to effectuate the intent of this
agreement.
5.2 The Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Bank and its
successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives from any and all
causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or
equity, of the Borrower, whether now known or unknown to the Borrower, (i) in respect of the loan
evidenced by the Note and the Related Documents, or of the actions or omissions of the Bank in any
manner related to the loan evidenced by the Note or the Related Documents and (ii) arising from
events occurring prior to the date of this agreement.
5.3 The Borrower shall pay to the Bank:
5.3.1 All the internal and external costs and expenses incurred (or charged by internal

and outside attorneys, appraisal, appraisal review, processing, title, filing, and recording
costs, expenses, and fees).
6. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AGREEMENT BY THE BANK. The Bank shall not be bound by this
agreement until (i) the Bank has executed this agreement and (ii) the Borrower performed all
of the obligations of the Borrower under this agreement to be performed contemporaneously with
the execution and delivery of this agreement.
7. INTEGRATION, ENTIRE AGREEMENT, CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, OR WAIVER. The Note and the

Borrower and the Bank in respect of the loan and supersede all prior representations,
warranties, agreements, arrangements, understandings, and negotiations. No provision of the
Note or the Related Documents as modified herein may be changed, discharged, supplemented,
terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom it is being
enforced.
8. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Wisconsin (without giving effect to its laws of conflicts). The
Borrower agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to any of its obligations
under the Note or this agreement may be brought by the Bank in any state or federal court
located in the State of Wisconsin, as the Bank in its sole discretion may elect. By the
execution and delivery of this agreement, the Borrower submits to and accepts, for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
those courts. The Borrower waives any claim that the State of Wisconsin is not a convenient
forum or the proper venue for any such suit, action or proceeding. This agreement binds the
Borrower and its successors, and benefits the Bank, its successors and assigns. The Borrower
shall not, however, have the right to assign the Borrower’s rights under this agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Bank.
9. COUNTERPART EXECUTION. This agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts, taken
together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
10. NOT A NOVATION. This agreement is a modification only and not a novation. In addition to all
amounts hereafter due under the Note and the Related Documents as they may be modified herein,
all accrued interest evidenced by the Note being modified by
2
this agreement and all accrued amounts due and payable under the Related Documents shall
continue to be due and payable until paid. Except for the above-quoted modification(s), the Note,
any Related Documents, and all the terms and conditions thereof, shall be and remain in full force
and effect with the changes herein deemed to be incorporated therein. This agreement is to be
considered attached to the Note and made a part thereof. This agreement shall not release or
affect the liability of any guarantor, surety or endorser of the Note or release any owner of
collateral securing the Note. The validity, priority and enforceability of the Note shall not be
impaired hereby. References to the Related Documents and to other agreements shall not affect or
impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal and interest
on the Note when due. The Bank reserves all rights against all parties to the Note.
