and reports as to financial matters required to be delivered to the Agent, the

annual or quarterly financial statements, as the case may be.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any changes in accounting
principles from those used in the preparation of the audited financial
statements referred to in Subsection 5.2 hereof are hereafter required or
permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the

such Marketing Vehicle in determining such Borrower's financial condition or

specified in the relevant notice of borrowing referred to in Subsection 2.2(a)
hereof; provided that (i) no more than four Loans constituting Eurodollar Loans
may be outstanding from each Bank at any one time and (ii) subject to clause
(i) above, the Borrowers may Convert Loans of one type into Loans of the other
type or Continue Loans of one type as Loans of the same type, all as hereinafter
provided.

2.2. BORROWINGS.

the Banks by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing) of each borrowing
hereunder as provided in Subsection 2.15 hereof.

(b) Not later than 2:00 p.m. Kansas City time on the date specified for
each borrowing hereunder, each Bank shall make available to the Agent the amount
of the Loan to be made by it on such date, at such account maintained by the
Agent as the Agent shall specify, in immediately available funds, for the
account of the Borrowers. The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, promptly be made available to the
Borrowers by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in one or more

(b) The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused
amount of the Reducing Revolving Credit Commitments on the yearly anniversary of
the date of this Agreement provided that each partial reduction of the Reducing
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to

to $536,000.

(d) The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the
unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments on the yearly anniversary
of the date of this Agreement, provided that each partial reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal
to $536,000.

(e) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically be reduced in
the aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Banks' LC Exposure,

Commitments upon the request of the Borrowers; provided, however, that any
Bank may decline any such request for reinstatement, in its sole discretion.

2.4. LENDING OFFICES. The Loans of each type made by each Bank shall be
made and maintained at such Bank's applicable lending office for Loans of
such type.

2.5. SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; REMEDIES INDEPENDENT. The failure of any Bank
to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not
relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, and
neither any Bank nor the Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Bank to make a Loan to be made by such other Bank. In the event any
Bank so fails to make a Loan when required to do so under this Agreement,
then the Borrowers may request the other Banks hereunder to assume in full
the Commitments of such Bank (the "REPLACEABLE BANK") then in effect and to
purchase the Notes issued to the Replaceable Bank at a price equal to the
outstanding principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid
interest on such Notes, and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses owed to such
Replaceable Bank. If any Bank or Banks in their sole discretion agree to so
assume in full the Commitments of the Replaceable Bank (each an "ASSUMING
BANK"), then such assumption shall take place on a date acceptable to the
Borrowers, the Replaceable Bank, and the Assuming Bank, and such assumption
shall take place through the execution of such instruments and documents as
shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be reasonably necessary or appropriate
for the Assuming Bank to assume in full the Commitments of the Replaceable
Bank (including, without limitation, the issuance of new or replacement
Notes) and through the execution by the Assuming Bank and the Replaceable
Bank of such agreements or instruments of assignments between themselves as
they deem necessary, provided that such assignment is made without recourse
and without any representation or warranty with respect to the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of
this Agreement or any other instrument or documents furnished pursuant hereto
or with respect to the financial condition of the Borrowers or the
performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of their obligations under
this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto
or of any collateral security or guaranties for the Obligations or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

The amounts payable by the Borrowers at any time hereunder and under the
Notes to each Bank shall be a separate and independent debt and each Bank
shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this
Agreement and its Notes, and it shall not be necessary for any other Bank or
the Agent to consent to, or be joined as an additional party in, any
proceedings for such purposes; provided, however, that this Subsection 2.5
shall not be construed to permit acceleration of any obligation hereunder, or
cancellation by any Bank of its Commitments hereunder, other than in
accordance with Section 7 hereof or as otherwise expressly permitted by the
terms of this Agreement.

2.6. NOTES. The Reducing Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under
its Reducing Revolving Credit Commitment shall be evidenced by a single
promissory note of the Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereof, and the Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under its Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the
Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto. Each Note shall be
dated the initial Borrowing Date, payable to the order of such Bank in a
principal amount equal to the amount of such Commitment as then in effect and
otherwise duly completed. Each Loan made by each Bank under its Commitments,
and all payments and prepayments made on account of the principal thereof,
shall be recorded by such Bank on its books and records.

2.7. CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION OF LOANS. Subject to Section 4 hereof,
the Borrowers shall have the right to Convert Loans of one type into Loans of
the other type or Continue Loans of one type as Loans of the same type, at
any time or from time to time, provided that Eurodollar Loans may be
Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans.

2.8. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF MATURITY OF REVOLVING
CREDIT LOANS.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of
the Banks the full outstanding principal amount of such Bank's Reducing
Revolving Credit Loans made under its Reducing Revolving Credit Commitment
(and all accrued interest thereon in accordance with Subsection 2.9) on the
Reducing Revolving Credit Termination Date, or such earlier date as may be
herein provided.

(b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank
the full outstanding principal amount of such Bank's Revolving Credit Loans
made under its Revolving Credit Commitment (and all accrued interest thereon
in accordance with Subsection 2.9) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
or such earlier date as may be herein provided.

(c) The Borrowers may, but shall have no obligation to, request a
maximum of two, separate one-year extensions of the Revolving Credit
Termination Date by giving written notice to the Agent, requesting a one-year
extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, at least 60 days but no
more than 120 days prior to the date that is one year before the then current
Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks
of such request. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, consent to
such request, or may make any such consent subject to such terms and
conditions as the Banks may, in their sole discretion, require. If the
Borrowers make any such request, the Banks agree to notify the Borrowers
within 30 days of their response to such request, whether declining such
request, consenting to such request, or consenting to such request

subject to specified terms and conditions, but if the Banks fail to give such
notification they shall be deemed to have declined such request. Under no
circumstances shall the Revolving Credit Termination Date, if extended, be
later than the Reducing Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.9. INTEREST.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of
each Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Reducing Revolving
Credit Loan of such Bank for the period commencing on and including the date
of such Reducing Revolving Credit Loan to but excluding the date such
Reducing Revolving Credit Loan is paid in full, at the following rates per
annum:

(i) during any period while such Reducing Revolving Credit Loan is a
Corporate Base Rate Loan, the Corporate Base Rate (as in effect from time
to time) plus the Reducing Revolving Credit Applicable Margin in effect on
the Borrowing Date, the date of Conversion or Continuation, as adjusted as
provided in this Agreement; and

(ii) during any period while such Reducing Revolving Credit Loan is a
Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBOR
Reserve Adjusted Rate for such Reducing Revolving Credit Loan for such
Interest Period plus the Reducing Revolving Credit Applicable Margin in
effect on the Borrowing Date, the date of Conversion or Continuation, as
adjusted as provided in this Agreement.

The Reducing Revolving Credit Applicable Margin may change (upward or
downward) at the end of each fiscal quarter as provided herein, and the
interest payable with respect to each outstanding Reducing Revolving Credit
Loan shall change effective as of the third day following the next
Certification Date.

(b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such
Bank for the period commencing on and including the date of such Revolving
Credit Loan to but excluding the date such Revolving Credit Loan is paid in
full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) during any period while such Revolving Credit Loan is a Corporate
Base Rate Loan, the Corporate Base Rate (as in effect from time to time)
plus the Revolving Credit Applicable Margin in effect on the Borrowing
Date, the date of Conversion or Continuation, as adjusted as provided in
this Agreement, and

(ii) during any period while such Revolving Credit Loan is a
Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBOR
Reserve Adjusted Rate for such Revolving Credit Loan for such Interest
Period plus the Revolving Credit Applicable Margin in effect on the

provided in this Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Applicable Margin may change (upward or downward)
at the end of each fiscal quarter as provided herein, and the interest
payable with respect to each outstanding Revolving Credit Loan shall change
effective as of the third day following the next Certification Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank interest at the
applicable Default Rate on any principal of any Loan of such Bank, and on any
interest or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any Note
held by such Bank, which is not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on and
including the due date thereof until the same is paid in full.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a
Corporate Base Rate Loan, on each Quarterly Date, and (ii) in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if
such Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals
following the first day of such Interest Period; provided that interest
payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of
the Agent.

(e) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for
herein or any change therein, the Agent shall notify the Banks and the
Borrowers thereof.

2.10. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay
the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject
to giving the Agent prior notice in accordance with the provisions of
Subsection 2.15 hereof, provided that (i) each such partial prepayment shall
be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $100, 000, and (ii) any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan may be made only on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor. Amounts prepaid in respect of Loans under this
Subsection 2.10 may be reborrowed on and subject to the terms and conditions
hereof.

2.11. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

(a) In the event of the receipt by any Borrower or its Subsidiary of
the proceeds of any property or casualty insurance in connection with damage
to or a loss of the Collateral (excluding, however, any business interruption
insurance), the Borrowers shall prepay the principal of the Loans in an
amount equal to such proceeds, if at the time such proceeds are received by
such Borrower or Subsidiary a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) On each Quarterly Reduction Date, the Borrowers shall repay (which,
for purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a prepayment) the
principal of the Reducing Revolving Credit Loans to the extent the then
outstanding principal balance thereof exceeds the Reducing Revolving Credit
Commitments as so reduced on such Quarterly Reduction Date.

2.12. PAYMENTS.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the Notes shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, to the Agent at such account maintained by the Agent with Boatmen's
First National Bank of Kansas City not later than 1:00 p.m. Kansas City time
on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made
after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day).

(b) The Borrowers shall, at the time of making each payment under this
Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the Loans or other amounts
payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied
(and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if any Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Agent may distribute such payment to the Bank in such
manner as it may determine to be appropriate, subject to Subsection 2.13
hereof).

(c) Each payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any Note
for the account of a Bank shall be paid by the Agent promptly to such Bank,
in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank's applicable
lending office for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made; and the
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the Agent's receipt of such
payments.

(d) All payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made without
deduction, set-off or counterclaim.

(e) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note
would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such date shall
(unless otherwise expressly provided herein) be extended to the immediately
succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so
extended for the period of such extension.

2.13. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise expressly
provided herein:

(a) Each borrowing hereunder shall be made from the Banks, each payment
of commitment fee shall be made for the account of the Banks, and each
termination or reduction of the amount of the Reducing Revolving Credit
Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to such
Commitments of the Banks, pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective unused Commitments;

(b) The making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular
type (except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof) shall be pro rata
among the Banks according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; and

(c) Each payment and prepayment by the Borrowers of principal of or
interest on the Loans of a particular type shall be made to the Agent for the
account of the Banks holding Loans of such type pro rata in accordance with
the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

2.14. MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Each borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of
Corporate Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount of at least $100,000 and each
borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an
amount of $1,000,000 or a multiple of $100,000, in excess thereof
(borrowings, Conversions or Continuations of or into Loans of different types
or, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, having different Interest Periods at the
same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings or Conversions for
purposes of the foregoing, one for each type or Interest Period). Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal
amount of Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least
equal to $1,000,000 and, if any Eurodollar Loans would otherwise be in a
lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Corporate Base
Rate Loans during such period.

2.15. CERTAIN NOTICES. The Borrowers shall give notices to the Agent of
all borrowings, terminations, or reductions of Commitments, Conversions,
Continuations or prepayments of Loans, and of the duration of Interest
periods, such notices to be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received
by the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Kansas City time on the number of
Business Days prior to the value date of the relevant termination, reduction,
Conversion, Continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest
Period specified below:

Number of Business
Notice Days Prior
------ ------------------
Termination or reduction of
Commitments 1

Borrowing or prepayments of,
or Conversion into, Corporate Same Day
Base Rate Loans

Borrowing or prepayment of,
Conversion into, Continuation 3
as, or duration of Interest
Period for, Eurodollar Loans

For purposes of calculating the number of Business Days in the foregoing
table, the date the notice is received shall be included if received not
later than 1:00 p.m. Kansas City time, and excluded if received after 1:00
p.m. Kansas City time. Each such notice of termination or reduction shall
specify whether it relates to the Reducing Revolving Credit Commitments or
the Revolving Credit Commitments and the aggregate amount of the relevant
Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing,
Conversion, Continuation or prepayment shall specify the aggregate amount of
Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount, the
type of Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid (and, in the
case of a Conversion, the type of Loans to result from such Conversion) and
the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment (which shall be
a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall
specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice. In the event
that the Borrowers fail to select the type of Loan, or the duration of any
Interest Period, for any Eurodollar Loan within the time period and otherwise
as provided in this Subsection 2.15, such Loan (if outstanding as a
Eurodollar Loan) will be automatically Converted into a Corporate Base Rate
Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if
outstanding as a Corporate Base Rate Loan) will remain as, or (if not then
outstanding) will be made as, a Corporate Base Rate Loan.

2.16. NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT. Unless the Agent shall have been
notified by a Bank or the Borrowers prior to the date on which it is scheduled
to make payment to the Agent of (in the case of a Bank) the proceeds of a Loan
to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Borrowers) a payment to the
Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks hereunder (such payment being
herein called the "REQUIRED PAYMENT"), which notice shall be effective upon
receipt by the Agent, that it does not intend to make the Required Payment to
the Agent, the Agent may;

assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance on such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available
to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Bank has not, or the
Borrowers (as the case may be) have not, in fact made the Required Payment to
the Agent by the close of business on the date due, the recipient(s) of such
payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period
commencing on and including the date such amount was so made available by the
Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the Corporate Base Rate, and (ii) in the
case of a Bank, the Agent's cost of overnight funds, in each case for each
day such amount was made available by the Agent.

2.17. BALANCES; SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

(a) The Borrowers agree that, in addition to (and without limitation
of) any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim a Bank may otherwise
have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to set off and apply
balances held by it for the account of any of the Borrowers at any of its
offices or affiliates, in Dollars or in any other currency, whether or not
matured, against any principal of or interest on any of such Bank's Loans, or
any other amount payable to such Bank hereunder, which is not paid when due
in accordance with the terms hereof (regardless of whether such balances are
then due to any of the Borrowers), in which case it shall promptly notify the
Borrowers and the Agent thereof, provided that such Bank's failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set off.

(b) If any Bank shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on
any Loan through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien or
counterclaim or similar right or otherwise, and, as a result of such payment,
such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal or
interest then due hereunder by the Borrowers to such Bank than its pro rata
share thereof, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks
participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct
interests in) the Loans made by such other Banks (or in interest due thereon,
as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from
time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share
the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred
by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in
accordance with the unpaid principal and/or interest on the Loans held by
each of the Banks. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or
otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The
Borrowers agree that any Bank so purchasing a participation (or direct
interest) in the Loans made by other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as
the case may be) may exercise any and all rights of set-off, bankers' lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such
participation. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Bank to exercise
any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain
the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
indebtedness or obligation of any of the Borrowers. If under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured
claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Subsection 2.17 applies, such Bank
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such
secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled
under this Subsection 2.17 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such
secured claim.

2.18. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the principal amount of the
Loans from time to time outstanding, the fees payable under Subsection 3.1,
and any other amount due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Each payment of
interest shall be computed on the basis of the principal amount outstanding
during each day of the term of each Loan and the interest rate applicable to
each such day.

2.19. SECURITY. Payment and/or performance of the Obligations shall be
secured, directly or indirectly, by a first priority perfected security
interest, mortgage, pledge, assignment or Lien, as the case may be, in and on
the property and assets described in the Security Documents to the extent set
forth therein.

2.20. ADVANCES AFTER DEFAULT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, but subject, nevertheless, to Subsection 9.4 hereof, the Majority
Banks may, but shall have no obligation of any kind whatsoever to, extend any
credit or make any loan or advance to the Borrowers under this Agreement, the
Notes or any of the other Credit Documents so long as any Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

2.21. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

(a) From time to time after the date hereof, until the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, the Borrowers may apply to the Issuing Bank for the Issuing
Bank to issue and deliver or to extend the expiry date of one or more letters
of credit for the account of any Borrower ("LETTERS OF CREDIT"), each of
which (i) is to be for an aggregate, undrawn amount at any one time
outstanding which, together with the aggregate undrawn amount at such time
outstanding of all Letters of Credit, does not exceed $5,000,000 (ii) is to
be in a form approved in writing by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, (iii)
is to be issued pursuant to the Issuing Bank's then-current standard form of
application and reimbursement agreement, for the purpose of funding the self
insured portion of worker's compensation, property and casualty insurance,
bonds required in connection with lawsuits, environmental matters or other
purposes that are, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and
approved by the Issuing Bank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
(iv) shall, by its terms, expire not later than the earlier of (A) the first
anniversary of the date of issuance or extension (subject to extension for
additional one-year periods by the Issuing Bank, in its discretion, and any
automatic renewal clause requested in such Letter of Credit shall require
notice of non-renewal to be given no more than 90 days from the stated expiry
date), and (B) the Revolving Credit Termination Date; (v) shall require
payment by the Borrowers of an issuance fee of 1% per annum of the maximum
face amount of the Letter of Credit (with a minimum of $250), payable in
advance, annually and (vi) shall conform to all terms and conditions required
by the Issuing Bank as set forth in the applicable Reimbursement Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the condition that the Letter of Credit shall
be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), ICC Publication No. 500, as amended.

(b) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit for which an application is made pursuant to Subsection 2.21(a)
above, but in the event that the Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion,
complies with such Borrower's request and issues a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall give notice thereof to the Agent, which shall in turn give
to each Bank, prompt written or telecopy advice of the issuance of such
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank

shall not issue or extend the expiry of any Letter of Credit if, immediately
after giving effect to such issuance or extension, the Banks' aggregate LC
Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans then
outstanding at such time would exceed the Banks' aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments.

(c) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and without any further
action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks in respect thereof, the
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from
the Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such
Bank's pro rata percentage, based on the Revolving Credit Commitments in
effect at the time of any issuance of such Letter of Credit, of the maximum
face amount of such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such
Letter of Credit and pursuant to any other terms and conditions as the
Issuing Bank and the Banks may hereafter mutually agree in writing with
respect to such participations. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
the Issuing Bank, in accordance with Subsection 2.21(d) below, such Bank's
pro rata percentage, based on its Revolving Credit Commitment, of each
un-reimbursed disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in connection with each
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to
make any such payment with respect to any disbursement made under any Letter
of Credit as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Issuing Bank. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its acquisition of
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever.

(d) Promptly after it shall have ascertained that any draft and any
accompanying documents presented under a Letter of Credit appear to be in
conformity with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall give written or telecopy notice to the Borrower, the
Agent, and the Banks of the receipt and amount of such draft and the date on
which payment thereon will be made. If the Issuing Bank shall not have
received from the Borrower the payment required pursuant to Subsection 2.21
(e) below by 12:00 noon, Kansas City time, one Business Day after the date on
which payment of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit has been made,
the Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Agent and each Bank, specifying
in the notice to each Bank such Bank's pro rata percentage, based on the
Revolving Credit Commitments on the date of issuance, of such disbursement.
Each Bank shall pay to the Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. Kansas City time,
on such date, such Bank's percentage of such disbursement, which the Agent
shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank shall promptly remit
to each Bank such Bank's percentage of any amount subsequently received by
the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in respect of any such disbursement.

(e) If the Issuing Bank shall pay any draft presented under a Letter of
Credit under circumstances entitling it to reimbursement under the applicable
Reimbursement Agreement, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank
the amount of any such draft, and shall make all other payments required by,
and comply with all other terms and conditions of, the applicable
Reimbursement Agreement. With respect to any such payment which becomes due
under the terms of this Subsection 2.21(e), the Borrowers authorize the
Agent, at its option and upon the request of

the Issuing Bank and the Majority Banks, to cause such payment to be made
when due by charging such payment as an advance under the Revolving Credit
Loans.

(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or the occurrence of
any Default described in Subsections 7(f), 7(g) or 7(h), an amount equal to
the amount of the then aggregate LC Exposure shall without demand upon or
notice to any Borrower or any other Person, be deemed (as between the Issuing
Bank and each Borrower) to have been paid by the Issuing Bank under the then
outstanding Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in
fact have been so paid), and each Borrower shall be immediately obligated to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount deemed to have been so paid. Any
amounts so received by the Issuing Bank pursuant to the provisions of the
foregoing sentence shall be deposited to a restricted deposit account (the
"ASSIGNEE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") maintained by the Agent as collateral security
for the repayment of the Obligations. Neither any Borrower nor any other
Person shall have any right to withdraw funds deposited in the Assignee
Deposit Account, which right shall be vested solely in the Agent, on behalf
of the Banks. The funds deposited in the Assignee Deposit Account pursuant to
this Subsection 2.21(f) shall be applied at any time to the Obligations
whether or not then due in such order of application as the Majority Banks
may determine in their sole and absolute discretion.

SECTION 3. FEES; YIELD PROTECTION

3.1. FACILITY FEES. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
of each Bank a facility fee at a rate equal to (i) 1/10 of 1% per annum on
such Bank's proportionate share of the daily average amount of all of the
Banks' Reducing Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in EXHIBIT A, for
the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier of
the date the Reducing Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated or the
Reducing Revolving Credit Termination Date; and (ii) 1/10 of 1% per annum on
the daily average amount of such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment as set
forth in EXHIBIT A, for the period from and including the date hereof to but
excluding the earlier of the date Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated
or the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Accrued facility fees shall be
payable on each Quarterly Date and on the dates referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence.

3.2. ADDITIONAL EURODOLLAR LOAN COSTS.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank
from time to time such amounts as such Bank may determine to be necessary to
compensate it for any Additional Eurodollar Loan Costs.

(b) Each Bank will notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after
the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation
pursuant to this Subsection 3.2 as promptly as practicable after it obtains
knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation (which
determination such Bank will endeavor to make with reasonable promptness).
Each Bank will furnish the Borrowers with a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Bank for
compensation under this Subsection 3.2.

(c) Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this
Subsection 3.2 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs or rate of
return of maintaining the Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make
Eurodollar Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Eurodollar
Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Bank under this
Subsection 3.2, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and
allocations are made on a reasonable basis and are set forth in reasonable
detail in the certificates referred to herein.

3.3. LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Eurodollar Rate
for any Interest Period the Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" in Subsection 1.1 hereof are not
being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for
purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided
herein, then the Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice
thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be
under no obligation to make additional Loans of such type, to Continue Loans
of such type or to Convert Loans of any other type into Loans of such type
and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest
Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of such type, either prepay such Loans or
Convert such Loans into another type of Loan.

3.4. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank to honor its obligation to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly
notify the Borrowers thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Bank's
obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or Convert Loans into
Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again
make and maintain Eurodollar Loans and such Bank's outstanding Eurodollar
Loans shall be Converted into Corporate Base Rate Loans in accordance with
Subsection 3.5 hereof.

3.5. CERTAIN CONVERSIONS PURSUANT TO SUBSECTIONS 3.3 AND 3.4. If the
Eurodollar Loans of any Bank (such Loans being herein called "AFFECTED
LOANS") are to be Converted pursuant to Subsection 3.3 or 3.4 hereof, such
Bank's Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Corporate Base
Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
Affected Loans (or on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the
Borrowers with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Bank gives
notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Subsection 3.3
or 3.4 hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Bank's Affected Loans have been so
Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be
applied to such Bank's Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its
Corporate Base Rate Loans; and

the circumstances specified in Subsection 3.3 or 3.4 hereof which gave rise
to the Conversion or non-Continuation of

such Bank's Affected Loans pursuant to this Subsection 3.5 no longer exist
(which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to
exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans are outstanding, such Bank's Corporate
Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the
next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to

Commitments.

of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits, but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) and determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by
such Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, pursuant to
Subsection 2.11 hereof or by reason of the acceleration of the Loans pursuant
to Section 7 hereof) on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period
for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrowers for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in

Documents, nor any certificate or statement furnished to the Agent or any
Bank in connection herewith or otherwise, at the time it was executed,
delivered and/or furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material

5.23. BENEFIT TO ALL BORROWERS. Because the operations and business
activities of the Borrowers are highly integrated and interdependent, at any
particular time it is impractical to determine which of the Borrowers will
directly receive the proceeds of a specific advance under the Loans. From time
to time, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally receive the proceeds of the
Loans and the Borrowers represent and warrant that the subsequent receipt and
use of such proceeds by any particular Borrower inures to the economic benefit
directly or indirectly of all other Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby designates,
appoints, authorizes and directs each of the officers designated in the
certified resolution of the board of directors of that Borrower delivered to the

Borrower for purposes of giving notice to the Agent of requests for Loans under
Subsection 2.2 hereof and for otherwise giving notices under this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents. The Agent and the Banks are entitled to rely and act
on the instructions of the Authorized Officer on behalf of each Borrower. Each
Borrower covenants and agrees to assume liability for and to protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Agent and the Banks from any and all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, causes of action, costs, charges and
expenses (including without limitation, attorneys' fees), which may be incurred
by, imposed or asserted against the Agent or any Bank howsoever arising or
incurred because of, out of or in connection with the Agent or any Bank dealing
with the Authorized Officer on behalf of such

claims, causes of action, costs, charges and expenses incurred by reason of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or Bank, as the case

Default referred to in clause (f), (g), or (h) of this Section 7, the Agent
shall, upon request of the Majority Banks, cancel the Commitments and/or declare
the principal amount then outstanding of, and all accrued unpaid interest on,
the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such
amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, or other notice or formality of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; and (ii) in
the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in clause (f),
(g), or (h) of this Section 7, the Commitments forthwith shall be automatically
canceled and the principal amount then outstanding of, and all accrued unpaid
interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall become automatically immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice
of dishonor, or other notice or formality of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrowers.

SECTION 8. THE AGENT

8.1. APPOINTMENT. POWERS AND IMMUNITIES. Each Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent (which term as used in this sentence
and in Subsection 8.5 hereof shall include reference to its Affiliates and
its own and its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a)
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement or in any of the Credit Documents, and shall not by reason of
this Agreement be a trustee for any Bank; (b) shall not be responsible to the
Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained
in this Agreement or any of the other documents in any certificate or any of
the other Credit Documents or received by any of them under, this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents, or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement,
any Note or any of the other Credit Documents or for any failure by the
Borrowers or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or
thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition precedent specified in
Section 4 hereof; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any
litigation or collection proceedings hereunder; and (d) shall not be
responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or
under any of the other Credit Documents, except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume that the conditions precedent
set forth in Subsection 4.1 hereof have been satisfied unless the Agent has
received notice from a Bank referring to the relevant Section and stating
that the

relevant condition has not been satisfied or unless the certificate furnished
by the Borrowers pursuant thereto so indicates. The Agent may employ agents
and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good
faith. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent.

8.2. RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by
telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy (fax) or cable) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and on advice and statements of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the Credit
Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder (as the case may be) in
accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Banks, and such
instructions of the Majority Banks and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks. If the Agent shall
seek the consent or approval of the Majority Banks to the taking or
refraining from taking of any action hereunder or under any of the Credit
Documents, the Agent shall give notice thereof to each Bank and as soon as
practicable notify each Bank at any time that the Majority Banks have
instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting hereunder or thereunder
(as the case may be).

8.3. DEFAULTS. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of
principal of or interest on Loans or of commitment fees) unless the Agent has
received notice from a Bank or the Borrowers specifying such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the
event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks
(and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such nonpayment). The Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by
the Majority Banks, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have
received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such default
as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks.

8.4. RIGHTS AS A BANK. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made
by it, Boatmen's First National Bank of Kansas City (and any successor acting
as Agent), in its capacity as a Bank hereunder, shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as the Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. Boatmen's First National Bank of Kansas City (and any successor
acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor
to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrowers (and any of their
respective Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Agent, and Boatmen's
First National Bank of Kansas City and its Affiliates may accept fees and
other consideration from the Borrowers and their Affiliates for services in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Banks.

8.5. INDEMNIFICATION. The Banks indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed under Subsection 9.3 hereof, but without limiting the obligations
of the Borrowers under said Subsection 9.3), ratably in accordance with the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans
are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments in effect from time to time), for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs
and expenses which the Borrowers are obligated to pay under Subsection 9.3
hereof but excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the
performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or of any such other Credit Documents, provided that no Bank
shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

8.6. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER BANKS. Each Bank agrees that it
has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and evaluation of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it
will, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other
Person of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in respect of the
properties or books of the Borrowers or any other their respective
Subsidiaries or any other Person. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by
the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrowers (or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the
Agent or any of its Affiliates.

8.7. FAILURE TO ACT. Except for action expressly required of the Agent
hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, the Agent shall in all cases
be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder (as
the case may be) unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

8.8. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENT. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at
any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers and the
Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks.
Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or
the Majority Banks' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent
may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance
or any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and

become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Subsection 8.8 shall continue in
effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was acting as the Agent.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. WAIVER. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank to exercise
and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein
and in the other Credit Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided at law or in equity.

9.2. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein
(including, without limitation, any waivers or consents under this Agreement)
shall be given or made by telex, telecopy, telegraph, cable or otherwise in
writing (each communication given by any of such means to be deemed to be "in
writing" for purposes of this Agreement) and telexed, telecopied,
telegraphed, cabled, mailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the
"Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof,
or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given when transmitted by telex or telecopier, delivered to the
telegraph or cable office or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed
notice, upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, certified mail,
return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, in each case given or
addressed as aforesaid, and in the case of notices to any Borrower, with a
copy given in any such manner to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Telephone No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.

9.3. EXPENSES, INDEMNIFICATION, ETC. The Borrowers agree (a) to pay or
reimburse the Agent and the Banks on demand for their reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including without limitation the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel to the Banks, and other counsel to the Agent and the Banks),
in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the making of the Loans
hereunder, provided, however, that the counsel fees charged to Borrowers
pursuant to this Subsection 9.3(a)(i) shall not exceed $10,000, plus out of
pocket expenses, without the prior approval of Borrowers, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld and (ii) any amendment, modification, waiver or
extension of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent and the Banks for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the Banks (including
reasonable counsels' fees and expenses) in connection with (i) the enforcement
of this Agreement and any of the other Credit Documents and (ii) all transfer,
stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any
Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement, any of the Notes, or any of
the other Credit Documents, and (c) to pay filing and recording fees relating
to, and taxes and other charges incurred in connection with, perfecting,

maintaining and protecting, the Liens created or contemplated to be created
pursuant to the Security Documents. The Borrowers hereby indemnify the Agent
and each Bank and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
Affiliates (each of which is sometimes referred to herein as an "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless against, any and
all out of pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions or other
proceedings commenced or threatened in respect hereof, and all reasonable
expenses (including but not limited to expenses that appear on any service
charge schedule maintained from time to time by the Agent or any Bank) that
arise out of or in any way relate to or result from the making of Loans
hereunder or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without
limitation, any investigation or litigation or other proceedings (whether or
not such Indemnified Party is a party to any action or proceeding out of
which any of the foregoing arise), other than any of the foregoing to the
extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party. Neither the Agent nor any Bank nor any other
Indemnified Party shall be responsible or liable to any Borrower for any
consequential damages which may be alleged.

9.4. AMENDMENTS, ETC. This Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents,
or any provision hereof or thereof may be amended only by an instrument in
writing signed by each Borrower, the Agent, and the Majority Banks, and any
provisions of this Agreement may be waived by the Agent and the Majority
Banks; provided that (i) any amendment or waiver extending the date fixed for
the payment of principal or interest on the Loans or any fee or reimbursement
obligation, (ii) reducing the amount of any such payment or any commitment
fee, (iii) changing the definition of "Revolving Credit Termination Date,"
"Reducing Revolving Credit Termination Date," "Majority Banks," "Fixed
Charges," "Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio" or "Interest Coverage Ratio," (iv)
reducing the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio below 1.1 to 1.0, (v) reducing the
Interest Coverage Ratio below 1.25 to 1.0, (vi) amending this Subsection 9.4,
(vii) increasing the amount of any Bank's Commitment, or (viii) releasing all
or substantially all of the Collateral, shall require an instrument in
writing signed by, or the consent of, all of the Banks.

9.5. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding on and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

9.6. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

(a) No Borrower may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or
under any of the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of
the Majority Banks. The Banks may assign all or any part of the Loans, the
Notes or any of the other Credit Documents to another Bank or, with the
Borrowers' consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to
another financial institution. Upon such assignment, the assignee shall
succeed to the obligations, rights and benefits of the Bank to the extent
provided in such assignment, and the Bank shall be released to the extent of
such assignment.

(b) The Borrowers expressly recognize and agree that the Banks may
sell to other financial institutions participations in the Loans incurred by
the Borrowers pursuant hereto (the "PARTICIPANTS"), and, therefore, as
security for the due payment and performance of all indebtedness and other
liabilities of the Borrowers to the Banks under this Agreement, the Notes,
the Security Documents, the other Credit Documents and any other obligation
of the Borrowers to the Banks,

whether now existing or hereafter arising, and to the Participants by reason
of such participation, the Borrowers hereby grant to the Banks and to the
Participants, a lien on and security interest in any and all deposits or
other sums at any time credited by or due from the Banks and the
Participants, or either or any of them, to the Borrowers, whether in regular
or special depository accounts or otherwise, and any and all money,
securities and other property of the Borrowers and the proceeds thereof now
or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Banks and the
Participants, or either or any of them, from or for the Borrowers, whether
for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise and
any such deposits, sums, money, securities and other property at any time may
be set off, appropriated and applied by the Bank and by the Participants, or
either or any of them, against any indebtedness, liabilities or other
obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising of the Borrowers to
the Banks and to the Participants, or either or any of them, against any
indebtedness, liabilities or other obligations whether now existing or
hereafter arising of the Borrowers to the Banks and to the Participants, or
either or any of them, under this Agreement, the Note, the Security
Documents, the other Credit Documents or otherwise, whether or not such
indebtedness, liabilities or other obligations are then due or secured by any
collateral or if such is so secured, whether or not such collateral held by
the Banks or the Participants is considered to be adequate.

(c) The Banks may furnish, from time to time, any information
concerning the Borrowers to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants).

9.7. SURVIVAL. The obligations of the Borrowers under Subsections 3.5,
6.22 and 9.3 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the
termination of the Commitments.

9.8. CAPTIONS. Captions and section headings appearing herein are
included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect
the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

9.9. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.

9.10. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS. All agreements, covenants,
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Notes, the other Credit Documents, the making of
the Loans, and any and all renewals, extensions, modifications and
rearrangements thereof.

9.11. INTEREST. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with
applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement
Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, in no event shall any such
agreement or instrument, require the payment or permit the collection of
interest, as defined under applicable usury laws, in excess of the maximum
amount permitted by such laws. If any such excess of interest is contracted
for, charged or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement
Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, or if the maturity of the
Loans is accelerated in whole or in part, or in the event that all or part of
the principal of or interest on the Loans shall be prepaid, so that under any
of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for,

charged or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement
Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, on the amount of principal
actually outstanding from time to time under the Notes shall exceed the
maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, then in any
such event (i) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (ii)
neither the Borrowers nor any other Person now or hereafter liable under this
Agreement or the Credit Documents for the payment of all or any part of the
Loans shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent
that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be
contracted for by, charged to or received from the Person obligated thereon
under applicable usury laws, (iii) any such excess which may have been
collected either shall be applied as a credit against the then unpaid
principal amount of such Loans or refunded to the Person paying the same, at
the Borrowers' option, and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted under
applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having
jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged
or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement Agreements or
any of the other Credit Documents which are made for the purpose of
determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest
shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable usury laws, by
amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the
period of the full stated term of the Loans, all interest at any time
contracted for, charged or received from the Borrowers, or otherwise by any
Bank in connection with the Notes, this Agreement, the Reimbursement
Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents.

9.12 INTEGRATION; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement, together with all the
other Credit Documents, represents the entire agreement of the parties
thereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral. There are no contemporaneous oral agreements or understandings of
the parties hereto or to the other Credit Documents. No course of dealing
between the parties, no course of performance, no usage of trade, and no
parol evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement or modify any of the
terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents shall be held illegal or invalid by any court having
jurisdiction, the illegality or invalidity of such provision shall not affect
any of the other provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents. The illegal or invalid provision shall be modified to the maximum
extent possible to confer on the Bank the rights, powers, remedies or other
privileges intended thereby, and such provision as modified, together with
the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents, shall be construed and enforced to such effect as if the illegal
or invalid provision or portion thereof had not been contained herein or in
any of the other Credit Documents, to the maximum extent possible.

9.13. CONTROLLING DOCUMENT. In the event of actual conflict in the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit
Documents, the terms and provisions of this Agreement will control.

9.14. JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE OR UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND EACH
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL

CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
SUCH MISSOURI STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO SERVICE,
EACH BORROWER ALSO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS
IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO
EACH BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH BENEATH ITS SIGNATURE HERETO. EACH
BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL
BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE
JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. EACH BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN MISSOURI AND ANY OBJECTION TO ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN MISSOURI ON THE BASIS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. NOTHING IN THIS
SECTION 9.14 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO SERVE LEGAL
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT
OR ANY BANK TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS
PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

9.15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF MISSOURI, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF
LAW PRINCIPLES.

9.16. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH BORROWER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING, LAWSUIT, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

9.17. UNENFORCEABILITY OF ORAL AGREEMENTS: FINAL WRITTEN AGREEMENT.
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COVENANTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM
ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT
ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (THE AGENT AND THE
BANKS) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH
COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH, TOGETHER WITH ALL
OTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US, IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT
OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO
MODIFY IT.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

LITIGATION

I. PRODUCT LIABILITY

A. PENDING

The current product liability insurance coverage is limited to $1
million for each occurrence and annual aggregate in coverage with $10
million for each occurrence and annual aggregate in excess coverage, and a
$250,000 deductible on each occurrence.

1. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ CASE

During the fourth quarter, 1992, the Company was named as Defendant in
▇▇▇▇▇▇. ET AL. V. NORFORK SOUTHERN CORPORATION. ET AL., Civil Action No.
CV92-G-1894-S (N.D. Alabama). This lawsuit relates to a railroad crossing
accident involving an auto-train collision between a Norfork Southern Train
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was killed in the accident. Plaintiffs seek
judgment against Defendants in the amount of $5,000,000. Defendants include
owners and operators of the train and equipment vendor at the railroad
crossing. Equipment design, manufactured and sold by the Company was
alleged to have been involved. The Company has answered the complaint but
has not completed its preliminary investigation into the matter. To date,
limited discovery in the case has been undertaken by the Company.
Management intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. The lawsuit has been
reported to the appropriate product liability insurers, who are expected to
undertake the defense on behalf of the Company.

▇▇▇▇▇ O'Dear at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ is ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ counsel in this matter. ▇▇▇▇▇
indicated that preliminary investigation indicates that car driven by the
17/18 year old driver was hit by a Norfolk Southern train; and the driver
was killed. State police report indicates 40 feet of skid marks into the
crossing by the victim's car. Plaintiff's counsel contends that this is a
"false activation" case and also contends that the lights and crossing
protection had been continuously activated for a period of between 24 hours
and 48 hours prior to the accident.

2. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND VIRGIN CASES

On April 19, 1993, the Company received service of process in ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. et al. v. Kansas City Southern Railway Company, Civil Action No.
A-142387 in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, 58th Judicial
District. Plaintiff's Second Amended Original Petition names ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Electronics, Inc. in connection with a railroad crossing accident in
Greenville, ▇▇▇▇ County, Texas, on March 27, 1991. The allegations against
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics involve negligence and strict liability claims in the
design and manufacture of signals and protective devices at the subject
crossing. The Petition also includes an allegation based in strict tort
liability alleging that HEI knew or should have known that "the warning
system in question was antiquated and subject to failure." On May 26, 1993,
the Company received service of process in ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ VIRGIN ET AL. V.
KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILWAY

COMPANY ET AL; Case No. B-142, 099 in the District Court of Jefferson
County, Texas, 60th District. This case arises from the same accident as
the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ case and has substantially similar allegations.

The lawsuit has been reported to the appropriate liability insurer.
Management intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. It appears that HEI
may have been added late in the proceeding as a settlement strategy.
Preliminary investigation indicates that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received no notice from
the railroad of the March 27, 1991 accident and no request has been made of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ to investigate or repair any alleged defect in the signaling or
warning devices. Accordingly, it would appear that the signaling and
warning devices present at the accident site remain in service at the
location. Additionally, preliminary investigation indicates that the driver
of the vehicle, in which two passengers were killed was intoxicated and
drove his vehicle into the side of the second locomotive.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL

A. PENDING

1. GRAIN VALLEY MATTER

During the first quarter of 1988, officials of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics,
Inc. discovered ground contamination for solvents classified as hazardous
materials at the Grain Valley, Missouri production facility. A voluntary
report was made to the Department of Natural Resources of the State of
Missouri ("MDNR"), and negotiations are underway regarding the extent of
remedial or cleanup actions and monitoring requirements. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Electronics, Inc. and MDNR have entered into a Closure/Post Closure Plan
which sets forth the remediation obligations and long-term care obligations
at this Site. To date, the exact extent of and cost of the remedial action
or monitoring which may be mandated by the Department of Natural Resources
have not been finally determined. Management has reserved $376,000
($195,000 in Trust Fund established by agreement with MDNR) for a portion
of the remaining estimated costs to the Company of implementing the
corrective action plan. Management intends to continue its attempt to
negotiate full resolution of its corrective action obligations.

On September 30, 1991, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") issued a Complaint against the Company alleging violations
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and RCRA regulations
in the disposal of solvents at the Company's Grain Valley, Missouri plant.
The Complaint seeks penalties in the amount of $2,777,000 and proposes
certain compliance actions.

The Company is vigorously defending the EPA Complaint and related
proposed penalties under RCRA. Management believes that all of the
allegations are for technical violations. Legal counsel has advised that
the penalties sought by EPA in this case are consistent with its applicable
penalty guidelines which were adopted by the EPA in October, 1990. Based on
the Company's cooperation with MDNR (which has original jurisdiction in the
matters covered by the EPA Complaint), in voluntary disclosing the alleged
violations, and in promptly undertaking all remedial actions specified by
the MDNR, the penalties appear to

the Company's legal counsel to be excessive. However, because so few
cases have been disposed of by settlement, or by administrative or
judicial proceedings since the new penalty guidelines were adopted,
legal counsel cannot express an opinion as to the ultimate amount, if
any, of the Company's liability. Since the amount of the Company's
exposure for these penalties cannot be reasonably determined at this
time, no estimate is included in this section or in the financial
statements.

2. ▇▇▇▇ MATTER

During the third quarter of 1988, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc. was
notified of a threatened claim of environmental cleanup costs relating to
the Diaz Refinery in Diaz, Arkansas. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc. and its
predecessor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Industries, Inc., have in the past entered into
transactions involving the disposal of hazardous materials with the ▇▇▇▇
Refinery, as a licensed, regulated waste disposal facility. The threatened
claim results from potential actions by federal, state and local
environmental agencies for the cleanup of the ▇▇▇▇ Refinery site resulting
from improper waste management practices of the operator of the site. Since
the operator of the site is now defunct, it is believed likely that the
remedial costs will be borne by all waste generators including ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Electronics, Inc. and/or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Industries, Inc. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc.
has joined a group of generators (the "PRP Group") who is negotiating a
remediation plan for the site with governmental authorities. The PRP Group
will also allocate financial responsibility for the costs associated with
the remediation plan and will seek contribution from other waste generators
who have not joined the PRP Group. To date, the exact extent and cost of
the Company's portion of the remediation costs are unknown since neither
the cost of the remediation plan, the allocation among members of the PRP
Group nor the contribution of non-member generators have been identified.
To date, no litigation or court action has been filed against any ▇▇▇▇▇▇
affiliate with respect to the ▇▇▇▇ Refinery, although the PRP Group has
entered into an Administrative Order on Consent relative to the ▇▇▇▇ site.

B. THREATENED

III. MISCELLANEOUS PROCEEDINGS

A. PENDING

1. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

On November 17, 1987, the Company filed a claim for damages against
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, one of the sellers of Modern Industries, Inc. The lawsuit
was filed in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Missouri, Western
Division, Case No. 87-0999-CV-W6. The jury returned a verdict in favor of
the Company for $500,000 on one of the theories during the fourth quarter
of 1989. Through his counsel, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ filed an additional lawsuit
against ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ wholly-owned subsidiary, Modern Industries, Inc., seeking
indemnification for the damages awarded the Company in the original lawsuit
filed by the

Company. This case was filed in Circuit Court 10, Jefferson County,
Kentucky, on February 6, 1990 and is identified as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ V. MODERN
INDUSTRIES INC., Case No. 90 CI 00672. On December 31, 1990, Modern
Industries, Inc. was merged into ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc., and
consequently, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc. assumed the position of Modern
Industries, Inc. in this case by operation of law. During the fourth
quarter of 1991, this lawsuit was dismissed by the Court on motion by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc. for summary judgment. On April 16, 1993, the
Court of Appeals of the Commonwealth of Kentucky reversed and remanded
the summary judgment dismissal of this case. The Appellate Court
overruled the District Court finding that facts were in dispute and
ordered that the matter be reset for trial.

2. ▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇ CASE

In ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ELECTRO PNEUMATIC
CORPORATION, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, is a lawsuit alleging wrongful
discharge claims against the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Electro
Pneumatic Corporation, and certain of its officers. The case is brought in
State Court in California. Recovery is sought on four causes of action,
including the following: breach of implied contract; breach of good faith
and fair dealing; employment discrimination based on gender and age
discrimination. These causes of action are all predicated on wrongful
discharge in connection with the reduction in force effected on April 30,
1991. Claims include back pay and reinstatement, attorneys' fees,
compensatory damages and punitive damages, but in unspecified amounts.
Although an answer has been filed, there has been little discovery to date
in this case which was filed on July 2, 1992. Depositions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ have been very favorable to defendants on the gender and
age discrimination counts of the case. Defendants intend to file a motion
for summary judgment upon completion of discovery. Management intends to
vigorously defend these claims.

3. ZAMAITIS EEOC CLAIM

Zamaitis was an employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Industries, Inc. who has ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ was discharged from his job in the accounting department of ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Industries as a result of poor performance and his inability to complete
his work assignments. He has filed separate claims with the Department of
Labor and the Missouri Commission of Human Rights. The claims allege
discriminatory discharge. He seeks reinstatement, back pay and benefits.

B. THREATENED

1. LODIGIANI CLAIM

In April 1992, Cedrite Technologies, Inc. was negotiating with the
Oxford Group for the sale of the Cedrite assets. The price was based on
estimated liquidation value and was structured to include a cash payment
plus assumption of Cedrite lease and real estate obligations. While Cedrite
attempted to finalize its negotiations with the Oxford Group, a new
purchaser emerged, Lodigiani USA, Ltd., the American subsidiary of an
Italian construction conglomerate. In April 1992, Lodigiani tendered an
offer for the Cedrite assets which included a $250,000 non-refundable
deposit and written confirmation of its willingness to

assume Cedrite's lease and real estate obligations with 45 days. The
offer appeared to be designed to supersede an outstanding offer by the
Oxford Group which had not been accepted by Cedrite. Cedrite accepted
the Lodigiani offer. Lodigiani failed to assume the lease within the
agreed upon period and Cedrite notified Lodigiani of its breach.
Lodigiani has threatened litigation to recover its $250,000 deposit for
the equipment which was later sold to a liquidator for $100,000. To
date, no litigation has been filed.

SCHEDULE 5.8

TAXES

Cedrite Technologies, Inc. ("Cedrite") has been notified of a potential
personal property tax liability of approximately $460,000 (exclusive of interest
and penalties) by representatives of taxing authorities in Wyandotte County,
Kansas and Kansas City, Kansas. No assessment or formal notification of
underpayment has been delivered to Cedrite. More than a year and a half has
passed since the investigative meeting between representatives of Cedrite and
representatives of the taxing authorities.

SCHEDULE 5.11

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

1. See disclosure on SCHEDULE 5.3 under the subheading "Environmental".

2. Cedrite Technologies, Inc. ("Cedrite") utilized Hazardous Materials in its
reprocessing of used railroad ties (previously treated with creosote
compounds). Additionally, prior owners of the Cedrite manufacturing site
(10 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas) apparently illegally disposed of
Hazardous Materials on the site prior to occupancy by Cedrite. Cedrite was
an equitable owner of a portion of the site and lessee on another portion.
Cedrite and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are obligated to the landlord on certain environmental
indemnities for potential claims for contamination by Hazardous Materials
attributable to Cedrite's operations on the leased site. To date, no claims
have been made to Cedrite or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ regarding the indemnity obligations.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Cedrite have an indemnification agreement from Union Pacific
Corporation (a prior owner) as to contamination prior to Cedrite's
ownership or lease interests on both sites. No claims or notices have been
received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Cedrite as to alleged liability for contamination
from Hazardous Materials attributable to Cedrite's operations.

3. During 1990, 1991 and 1992 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics, Inc. ("HEI") has received
notices from the local POTW that wastewater discharges from HEI's plant in
Warrensburg, Missouri may have exceeded permissible discharge limits and
may have violated its permit (NPDES) limits. The dispute relates to
concentrations of heavy metals, particularly copper, which might have
remained in the wastewater after treatment at HEI's facility. No formal
claim or notice of assessed penalty has to date been received and none is
currently expected. The POTW has alleged that wastewater concentrations of
contaminant at levels in excess of HEI's discharge limits may have resulted
in a bacterial kill at the POTW treatment facility. The POTW may also be
exposed for EPA or MDNR fines for its improper treatment and discharges
following the bacterial kill. HEI does not believe that its discharges were
above its permissible discharge limits or were responsible for the
bacterial kill. Throughout the period from initial notification to date,
HEI has cooperated with the POTW in investigating and implementing
solutions to the alleged problem. HEI has in 1992 installed additional
wastewater treatment equipment to minimize the likelihood of future
incidents.
