revised from time to time solely by Lender in its exclusive judgment. In
determining eligibility, Lender may, but need not, rely on agings, reports and
schedules of Accounts furnished to Lender by such Borrower, but reliance by

percentage with respect thereto set forth on Schedule 1.29 hereto (but
-6-
the portion of the Accounts not in excess of the applicable percentage may be
deemed Eligible Accounts); or

(f) the payment terms with respect to such Account are greater than
sixty (60) days from the date of the original invoice;
(g) the Account Debtor for the Account is a creditor of such
Borrower or any Obligor, has or has asserted a right of setoff, has disputed its
liability or has made any claim with respect to the Account or any other Account
which has not been resolved, to the extent of the amount owed by such Borrower
or such Obligor to the Account Debtor, the amount of such actual or asserted
right of setoff (whichever is greater), or the amount of such dispute or claim,
as the case may be; or
(h) the Account Debtor is (or its assets are) the subject of a
proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or statute of any
other Governmental Authority or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

appointed a receiver or trustee for it or a substantial portion of its assets or

for the Account is either not incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction of
the United States of America or any State thereof or Canada or any Province
thereof, or is located outside or has its principal place of business or
substantially all of its assets outside the continental United States or Canada,
except to the extent the Account is supported by an irrevocable letter of credit
that shall be (i) satisfactory to the Lender (as to form, substance and issuer),
(ii) assigned to Lender and directly drawable by Lender and (iii) in the
possession of Lender, provided, that, if the Account Debtor is incorporated in
Canada or any Province thereof, or is located or has its principal place of
business or substantially all of its assets in Canada, such Accounts may only be
Eligible Accounts if such Borrower shall have executed and delivered, or caused
to be executed and delivered, such agreements, documents and instruments as may
be required by Lender to perfect the security interests of Lender in the
Accounts owing by such Account Debtor in accordance with the applicable laws of
Canada or any Province thereof (as determined by Lender) and taken or caused to
be taken such other further actions as Lender may request to
-7-
enable Lender as secured party with respect thereto to collect such Accounts
under the applicable laws of Canada and any Province thereof; or
(j) the sale to the Account Debtor is on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold guaranteed
sale (except as otherwise provided below), sale-and-return, ship-and-return,
sale on approval or consignment or other similar basis or made pursuant to any
other written agreement providing for repurchase or return of any merchandise
which has been claimed to be defective or otherwise unsatisfactory; or
(k) the Account Debtor is any Governmental Authority; or
(l) the goods giving rise to such Account have not been shipped and
delivered to the Account Debtor, or the Account otherwise does not represent a
final sale (subject only to the Account Debtor's right to reject non-conforming
goods) except that if the goods giving rise to such Account have not been
shipped and delivered to the Account Debtor, if Lender shall have received a
written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, evidencing the
Account Debtor's unconditional obligation to take and pay for such goods; or
(m) the Account does not comply with all applicable law; or
(n) (i) either the perfection, enforceability or validity of
Lender's security interest or Lender's right or ability to receive direct
payments as to such Account is governed by any statutory requirement of any
Governmental Authority other than those of the Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) the
Account Debtor has not waived counterclaims or setoffs as to such Account, (iii)
it is not subject to a valid and perfected first priority security interest,
lien or other encumbrance in favor of the Lender, subject to no security

conform to the representations and warranties contained herein or in the other
Financing Agreements; or

received, presented for payment and returned uncollected for any reason; or
(p) the Account is not payable directly to a lockbox that is subject
to a blocked account arrangement as provided in Section 8.1 hereof; or
(q) Lender in the exercise of its good faith judgment determines it
to be ineligible.
Any Accounts which Lender determines to be ineligible or unacceptable for
purposes of the Borrowing Base at any time shall nevertheless be and remain at
all times part of the Collateral.
-8-
1.30 "Eligible Inventory" shall mean Inventory consisting of finished
goods held for sale in the ordinary course of the business of a Borrower and raw
materials and work-in-process for such finished goods, in each case to the
extent acceptable to Lender in all respects. Standards of eligibility may be
fixed and revised from time to time solely by Lender in its exclusive judgment.
In determining eligibility Lender may, but need not, rely on reports and
schedules of such Inventory furnished to Lender by such Borrower, but reliance
thereon by Lender from time to time shall not be deemed to limit Lender's right
to revise standards of eligibility at any time. In general, except in Lender's
discretion, Inventory shall not be deemed Eligible Inventory if:
(a) it is not owned solely by such Borrower or such Borrower does
not have sole and good, valid and marketable title thereto; or
(b) it is not either (i) located in the continental United States or
(ii) loaded, freight charges and insurance premiums paid, upon a vessel bound
for a port in the continental United States and covered by bills of lading or
other shipping documents, originals of which are in the possession of Lender; or
(c) it is not located at premises owned and operated by such
Borrower or it is on consignment to a third party, provided, that, any Inventory
which would otherwise be deemed Eligible Inventory at locations which are not
owned and operated by such Borrower may nevertheless be considered Eligible
Inventory: (i) if Lender shall have received a Collateral Access Agreement from
the holder of such Inventory or the owner and/or operator of such location, as
the case may be, and (ii) in addition to the agreement described above, if the
Inventory is delivered to the holder, owner and/or operator on consignment and
if required by Lender: (A) the holder, owner and/or operator executes
appropriate UCC-1 financing statements in favor of such Borrower, which are duly
assigned to Lender and (B) any lender to the holder, owner and/or operator with
any interest in Inventory is properly notified of the first priority security
interest in and lien on such Inventory of Lender; or
(d) it is packing or shipping materials or maintenance supplies; or
(e) it is not subject to a valid and perfected first priority
security interest and Lender, except, with respect to Inventory stored at sites
described in clause (c) above, for liens for unpaid rent or normal and customary
warehousing charges, in each case, not yet due; or
(f) it is goods returned or rejected by such Borrower's customers or
goods in transit to third parties (other than to warehouse sites covered by a

contingencies or risks which are also considered in determining Eligible
Accounts, Eligible Inventory or in establishing reserves as provided in Section
2.4. Borrowers may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Loans made to it
in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.2 Letter of Credit Accommodations
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein,
at the request of a Borrower, Lender agrees to provide or arrange for Letter of
Credit Accommodations to be issued for the account of Borrowers containing terms
and conditions acceptable to Lender and the issuer thereof. Any payments made by
Lender to any issuer thereof and/or related parties in connection with the
Letter of Credit Accommodations shall constitute additional Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.
(b) In addition to any customary charges, fees or expenses charged
by any bank or issuer in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations,
Borrowers shall pay to Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to one and
one-half (1 1/2%) percent per annum on the daily outstanding balance of the
Letter of Credit Accommodations for the immediately preceding month (or part
thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month,
except that Lender may require Borrowers to pay to Lender such letter of credit
fee, without notice, at a rate equal to three and one-half (3 1/2%) percent per
annum on such daily outstanding balance for: (i) the period on and after the
date of termination or non-renewal hereof until such time as all Obligations are
indefeasibly paid in full (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against such
Borrower) and (ii) the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an
Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, as
determined by Lender. Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis
of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the
obligation of Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive the termination or
non-renewal of this Agreement. Borrowers shall not be required to pay such
letter of credit fee to Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit Accommodation
unless Lender has duly executed and delivered to
-21-
the issuer of such Letter of Credit Accommodation the application or a guarantee
or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit
Accommodation.
(c) No Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be available unless on
the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit Accommodations, the
Loans available to Borrowers (subject to the Borrowing Base, the Maximum Credit
and any reserves) are equal to or greater than one hundred (100%) percent of the
face amount thereof and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred
by Lender with respect thereto. Effective on the issuance of each Letter of
Credit Accommodation and for so long as such Letter of Credit Accommodation is
outstanding, the amount of Loans which might otherwise be available to Borrowers
shall be reduced by such amount.
(d) Except in Lender's discretion, the aggregate amount of all
outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other commitments and
obligations made or incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall not at any
time exceed $10,000,000. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, the Lender may require each Borrower to either furnish cash
collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection
with any or all Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to
Lender for the Letter of Credit Accommodations, and in either case, the Loans
otherwise available to Borrowers shall not be reduced as provided in Section
2.2(c) to the extent of such cash collateral.
(e) Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
which Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodations and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto,
including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect
to any Letter of Credit Accommodation except resulting from the gross negligence
or wilful misconduct of Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable
order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower assumes all risks with
respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary
shall be deemed such Borrower's agent. Each Borrower assumes all risks for, and
agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies
relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any
documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder except resulting from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender as determined pursuant to a final
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby
releases and holds Lender harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors,
delays or omissions, whether caused by such Borrower, by any issuer or
correspondent or otherwise with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation except resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the
payment of Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
-22-
(f) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant
Borrowers any right or authority to pledge the credit of Lender in any manner.
Lender shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Lender, unless Lender has duly
executed and delivered to such issuer the application or a guarantee or
indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation.
Borrowers shall be bound by any interpretation made in good faith by Lender, or
any other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder,
notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any
instructions of Borrowers. At any time an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to, and Borrowers shall not, (i) approve or resolve any questions of
non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions as to acceptance or
rejection of any documents or goods or (iii) execute any and all applications
for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders. Lender may
take such actions either in its own name or in a Borrower's name. At all times,
Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, grant any
extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of,
any drafts, acceptances, or documents or agree to any amendments, renewals,
extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or
conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or
documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in
the Collateral.
(g) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or
undertaken by each Borrower to any issuer or correspondent in any application
for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any
issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be
deemed to have been granted or undertaken by such Borrower to Lender. Any
rights, remedies, duties or obligations undertaken by Lender to any issuer or
correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any
other agreement by Lender in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to
any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or
undertaken by the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit Accommodation to
Lender and to apply in all respects to such Borrower.
2.3. Maximum Credit. Except in Lender's discretion, the aggregate
amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any
time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit.
2.4. Reserves. Without limiting any other rights and remedies of
Lender hereunder or under the other Financing Agreements, all Loans otherwise
available to Borrowers shall be subject to Lender's continuing right in its
discretion, to establish a reserve reducing the amounts of Loans otherwise
available to Borrowers and to increase and decrease such reserve from time to
time, if and to the extent that, in Lender's judgment, such reserve is necessary
to protect Lender against possible non-payment for any reason by Account Debtors
or possible non-payment of any of the Obligations, or in respect of any state of
facts which does or would,
-23-
with notice or passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default hereunder
or for any other reason.
2.5 Mandatory Prepayments
(a) In the event that the outstanding amount of the Loans to
Borrowers exceed the Borrowing Base, or any component of the Loans exceed the
sublimits set forth in Section 2.1(b), or the aggregate amount of the
outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations exceed the sublimit for Letter of
Credit Accommodations set forth in Section 2.2(d), or the aggregate amount of
the Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time shall
exceed the Maximum Credit, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect
any rights of Lender in that circumstance or on any future occasions and
Borrowers shall, upon demand by Lender, which may be made at any time or from
time to time, immediately repay to Lender, the entire amount of any such
excess(es) for which payment is demanded.
(b) Subject to Section 9.1(e) hereof, all such payments in respect
of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be without premium or penalty.
All interest accrued on the principal amount of the Loans paid pursuant to this
Section 2.5 shall be paid, or may be charged by Lender to the loan account(s) of
Borrowers, at Lender's option, on the date of such payment.
2.6 Interest.
(a) Interest on all of the Loans and other non-contingent
Obligations shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender at the Interest Rate.
(b) In no event shall the Interest Rate and other charges hereunder
exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the
event that a court determines that Lender has received interest and other
charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess
shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to
reduce, the Obligations other than interest in the inverse order of maturity,
and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest
permissible rate.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, all interest charges hereunder or in
connection herewith shall be (i) computed as provided herein and in the other
Financing Agreements and (ii) paid monthly to Lender on the first day of each
calendar month, or, at Lender's option, charged to a Borrower's account(s)
maintained by Lender as of the first day of each calendar month and deemed paid
by the first amounts subsequently credited thereto.
(d) Without limiting the continuing right of Lender to demand
payment of the Loans and other Obligations, or any portion thereof, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or any of the other Financing
Agreements, all interest accruing hereunder on and
-24-
after the date of any Event of Default or termination or non-renewal hereof,
shall be payable on demand.
2.7 Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a closing fee of $500,000,
which fee is fully earned and payable on the date hereof.
2.8 Servicing Fee. Borrowers shall pay monthly to Lender a servicing fee
in an amount equal to $10,000 for each month or part thereof during the term of
this Agreement and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are
outstanding, which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable in advance on the
first day of each month.
2.9 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender an unused line fee at a
rate equal to one-quarter (1/4%) percent per annum calculated upon the amount
(if any) by which (a) the Maximum Credit exceeds (b) the average aggregate daily
principal balance of the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding
during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is
in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding,
which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears.
2.10 Authorization to Make Loans. Lender is authorized to make the Loans
and provide the Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon telephonic or other
instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of a Borrower or
other authorized person or, at the discretion of Lender, if such Loans are
necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letter of Credit
Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested Loan is
to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodation established (which day shall be a
Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan and Letter of Credit
Accommodation. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any day
shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the
immediately following Business Day. All Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been
made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrowers when deposited
to the credit of a Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance
with the instructions of a Borrower or in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
2.11 Use of Proceeds. All Loans made by Lender to or for the account of
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall be
used by Borrowers for general operating and working capital purposes of
Borrowers and such other purposes as permitted by the terms hereof. In no event
shall any of the proceeds of the Loans be used to repay the existing
Indebtedness of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to the Existing Lenders.
-25-
2.12 Joint and Several Liability. Borrowers shall be liable for all
amounts due to Lender under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower
actually receives the Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the
amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Lender accounts for such
Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other extensions of credit on its
books and records. The Obligations with respect to Loans made to a Borrower, and
the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a
Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans made to the other Borrower hereunder,
shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations shall
be primary obligations of both Borrowers. The Obligations arising as a result of
the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans,
Letter of Credit Accommodations or other extensions of credit made to the other
Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
unconditional irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or
subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrower or of any promissory note
or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other
Borrower, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the
other Borrower or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other
action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or
granting of any indulgence by Lender with respect to any provisions of any
instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrower, or any part
thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrower
and delivered to Lender, (d) the failure by Lender to take any steps to perfect
and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights and maintain
its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrower, (e) the
election of Lender in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of
the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (f) any borrowings
or grant or a security interest by the other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (g) the disallowance of all or any
portion of the claim(s) of Lender for the repayment of the Obligations of the
other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (h) any other
circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a guarantor or of the other Borrower. With respect to the Obligations arising
as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with
respect to Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other extensions of credit
made to the other Borrower hereunder, each Borrower waives, until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been
terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which
Lender now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any
guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any
right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender. Upon any
Event of Default, Lender may proceed directly and at once, without notice
(except as otherwise specifically provided for herein), against either Borrower
to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations,
without first proceeding against the other Borrower or any other Person, or
against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents
and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any assets in
favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

WARRANTIES
Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants to
Lender as follows, which representations and warranties are continuing and shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof, and the truth and accuracy of each,
together with the representations and warranties in the other Financing
Agreements, being a continuing condition of each Loan and Letter of Credit
Accommodations:
5.1 Organization and Qualification.
(a) Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a duly organized and
validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of its state or
jurisdiction of incorporation, with perpetual corporate existence, and has the
corporate power and authority to own its properties and to transact the business
in which it is engaged or presently proposes to engage. Each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the states
and other jurisdictions listed on Schedule 5.1(a) hereto, which constitute all
states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business or the ownership
or use of property requires such qualification.
(b) Each Borrower does not have any Subsidiaries as of the date
hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(b) hereto.
5.2 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Borrower has the corporate power
and authority to borrow and to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and all other
agreements, instruments and documents delivered by such Borrower and its
Subsidiaries pursuant hereto and thereto applicable to it, and each Borrower and
its Subsidiaries has taken or caused to be taken all
-31-
necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the other agreements
relating hereto or thereto to which it is a party, the present and future
borrowings by such Borrower hereunder and thereunder and the execution, delivery
and performance of the instruments and documents delivered and to be delivered
by it pursuant hereto and thereto. This Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements to which it is a party constitute and will constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of each Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms.
5.3 Issuance of Senior Notes; Disposition of Proceeds.
(a) The Senior Notes have been duly authorized, issued and delivered
by Doe Run and all agreements, documents and instruments related thereto,
including, but not limited to, the Senior Note Indenture, have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered and the transactions contemplated thereunder
performed in accordance with their terms by the respective parties thereto in
all respects, including the fulfillment (not merely the waiver) of all
conditions precedent set forth herein. All actions and proceedings required by
the Senior Note Agreements and the agreements, documents and instruments related
thereto, applicable law or regulation have been taken and the transactions
required thereunder have been duly and validly taken and consummated. Neither
the execution and delivery of the Senior Notes, any of the other Senior Note
Agreements or any of the instruments and documents to be delivered pursuant
thereto, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor
compliance with the provisions therein contemplated, has violated or will
violate any law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or other
Governmental Authority in any respect or does or will conflict with or result in
the breach of, or constitute a default in any respect under, any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or instrument to which each Borrower or its
Subsidiaries (including for this purpose, Doe Run Cayman and its Subsidiaries)
is a party or may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of a Borrower (except as
specifically contemplated hereunder or under the other Financing Agreements) or
violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of a
Borrower.
(b) No court of competent jurisdiction has issued any injunction,
restraining order or other order which prohibits consummation of the issuance of
the Senior Notes and the transactions described therein and no governmental or
other action or proceeding has been threatened or commenced, seeking any
injunction, restraining order or other order which seeks to void or otherwise
modify the issuance of the Senior Notes.
(c) Borrowers have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Lender
true, correct and complete copies of the Senior Note Agreements. Set forth in
Schedule 5.3 hereto is a correct and complete list of the Senior Note Agreements
and all other agreements, documents and instruments existing as of the date

(d) Doe Run has deposited with Banco de Credito $125,000,000 of the
proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes, and Banco de Credito has made a
loan to Doe Run Mining in the original principal amount of $125,000,000, the
proceeds of which have been used to repay all of the outstanding Indebtedness of
Doe Run Mining to Bankers Trust Company, Union Bank of Switzerland, New York
Branch and DLJ Capital Funding, Inc. (and any successors or assigns of any of
them) and to repay the Indebtedness of Doe Run Mining to Doe Run arising
pursuant to the $23,000,000 loan made by Doe Run to Doe Run Mining on or about

equal to the payments of interest on $125,000,000 of the Fixed Rate Notes at the
times that Doe Run is required to make payments of interest under the Fixed Rate
Notes. Doe Run has received on the date hereof not less than $23,000,000 in cash

5.4 Capitalization.
(a) All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of
Fabricated Products are directly and beneficially owned and held by Doe Run and
have been duly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear
of all claims, liens, pledges and encumbrances of any kind. All of the issued
and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of Doe Run are directly and beneficially
owned and held by DRA and have been duly authorized and are fully paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of all claims, liens, pledges and encumbrances of
any kind. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of DRA are

Lender and the other transactions contemplated hereunder, each Borrower shall
continue to be able to pay its debts as they mature and has (and has reason to
believe it will continue to have) sufficient capital (and not unreasonably small
capital) to carry on its business and all businesses in which it is about to
engage. The assets and properties of each Borrower at a fair valuation and at
their present fair salable value are, and will be, greater than the Indebtedness
and other liabilities of such Borrower, and including subordinated and
contingent liabilities computed in the amount which, to the best of Borrowers'
knowledge, represents an amount which can reasonably be expected to become an
actual or matured liability. Each Borrower has sufficient capital to carry on
all businesses and transactions in which it now engages or proposes to engage
in, is solvent and will, in the reasonable, good faith determination of such
Borrower as of the date hereof, continue to be solvent after the creation of the
Obligations and the security interests in favor of Lender, and is able to pay
its debts as they mature.

business of such Borrower which has been finally accepted by the Account Debtor
and for which the Account Debtor is unconditionally liable to make payment of
the amount stated in each invoice, document or instrument evidencing the
Eligible Account in accordance with the terms thereof, without offset, defense
or counterclaim (except that for sales of By-Products by Doe Run, the amount of
the Account may be subject to adjustment based on the results of the assay (and
final prices and weights) with respect to the By-Products sold giving rise to
such Account). All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in the
invoices, documents and instruments evidencing each Eligible Account are true
and correct and are in all respects what they purport to be and all signatures
and endorsements that appear thereon are genuine and all signatories and
endorsers have full capacity to contract and each Account Debtor is solvent and
financially able to pay in full the Eligible Account when it matures. None of
the transactions underlying or giving rise to any Account violates any Federal,
State or foreign laws or regulations, and all documents relating to the Accounts

enforceable in accordance with their terms and all recording, filing and other
requirements of giving public notice under any applicable law have been duly
complied with.

pension benefit plan.

purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a "purpose credit"
within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board, as amended. Neither Borrower
will take or permit any agent acting in its behalf to take, any action which
might cause this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, or instruments
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, to violate any regulation of the Board or

Subsidiary to keep its properties, in good repair, working order and condition

Subsidiary to make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements,
additions and improvements thereto, so that the business carried on may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times in accordance with prudent
business management. The Inventory shall only be used in each Borrower's
business and not for personal, family, household or farming use.
(b) All of the Inventory of each Borrower is and will be held for
sale or lease, or to be furnished in connection with the rendition of services,
in the ordinary course of such Borrower's business, and is and will be fit for
such purposes. Each Borrower shall keep the Inventory of such Borrower in good
and marketable condition, at its own expense. Each Borrower will not acquire or
accept any Inventory on consignment or approval, except if such Inventory is at
all times clearly identified on the books and records of such Borrower as
Inventory held on consignment or approval and such Inventory is separately
reported to Lender and not included in the Inventory of such Borrower as
reported to Lender in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Each Borrower agrees that

including the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, the Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as

any time on or after an Event of Default and so long as the same is continuing,
at such other times as Lender reasonably requests, and in each case shall
promptly supply Lender with a copy of such count accompanied by a report of the
Value of such Inventory. Borrowers shall not, without Lender's prior written
consent, sell any Inventory on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold (except if reported to Lender as

other repurchase or return basis.

against claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in,
about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or
controlled by Borrowers and occurring in connection with the use (or otherwise)
of any products manufactured or sold by Borrowers, and workmen's compensation
insurance (except as to workmen's compensation insurance to the extent a
Borrower is self-insured with respect thereto). Said policies of insurance shall
be satisfactory to Lender as to form, amount and insurer. Borrowers shall
furnish certificates, policies or endorsements to Lender as proof of such
insurance, and, if a Borrower fails to do so, Lender is authorized, but not
required, to obtain such insurance at the expense of Borrowers. All policies
shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice
-59-
to Lender of any cancellation or reduction of coverage and that Lender may act
as attorney for each Borrower in obtaining, and at any time on or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, adjusting, settling and amending such
insurance. Borrowers shall obtain non-contributory lender's loss payable
endorsements to all insurance policies with respect to the Collateral in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender specifying that the proceeds of
such insurance shall be payable to Lender as its interests may appear and
further specifying that Lender shall be paid regardless of any act or omission
by Borrowers. At its option, Lender may apply any insurance proceeds with
respect to the Collateral received by Lender at any time to the cost of
replacement of Collateral and/or to payment of the Obligations, whether or not
then due, in any order and in such manner as Lender may determine or Lender may
hold such insurance proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations as Lender
may determine.

such employee pension benefit plans or any trust created thereunder which would

which it is obligated to pay under Section 302 of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code

plan that is a single employer plan, which termination could result in any
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or (vi) incur any
withdrawal liability with respect to any multiemployer pension plan, except as
set forth on Schedule 5.13 hereto.

specifying the nature of such condition or event.

(a) Without limiting Lender's rights to demand payment sooner as
provided in this Agreement, upon or at any time after the occurrence or
existence of any one or more of such Events of Default, upon termination of this
Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, or if this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements are not renewed, in addition to any other rights Lender may

other or further notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers;
or
(ii) Lender may declare any or all of the Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, together with interest at the highest rate of
interest hereunder until fully and indefeasibly paid, without presentment for
payment, demand, notice of dishonor or protest or any
-69-
or other further notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers
(provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Events of Default described in
Sections 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), all Obligations shall automatically become
immediately due and payable); and
(iii) each Participant, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, shall have the right to (A) set off against the Obligations any
and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), credits, balances, accounts, monies or other assets which are the
property of Borrowers and held by such Participant or owed by such Participant
to such Borrower and (B) remit the same to Lender for application to the
Obligations;
(iv) without further notice to Borrowers, Lender may
appropriate, set off and apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations,
any or all Collateral, in such manner as Lender shall determine, enforce payment
of any Collateral, settle, compromise or release in whole or in part, any
amounts owing on the Collateral, make allowances and adjustments with respect
thereto, issue credits in Lender's or either Borrower's name, sell, assign and
deliver the Collateral (or any part thereof), at public or private sale, at
broker's board, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at Lender's option and
discretion, and Lender may bid or become purchaser at any such sale, if public,
free from any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived;
(v) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the
credit or the account of Borrowers against any and all of the Obligations,
whether or not then due and payable;
(vi) Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrowers
(except as otherwise expressly provided herein), at any time and from time to
time in its discretion, with or without judicial process or the aid or
assistance of others and without cost to Lender (A) to enter upon any premises
on or in which any of the Inventory may be located and, without resistance or
interference by Borrowers, take possession of the Inventory, (B) to complete
processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Inventory, (C)
to sell, foreclose or otherwise dispose of any part or all of the Inventory on
or in any premises of Borrower or premises of any other party, (D) to require
each Borrower, at its expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part
or all of the Inventory at any reasonable place and time designated by Lender,
and (E) to remove any or all of the Inventory from any premises on or in which
the same may be located, for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or
other disposition thereof or for any other purpose.
(b) Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC or applicable law of any State in which any Collateral may
be situated, in addition to all of the rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, and in
-70-
any instrument or document referred to herein or therein, and/or under any other
applicable law relating to this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the
Obligations or the Collateral.
(c) Each Borrower agrees that the giving of ten (10) days notice to
Doe Run by Lender at Doe Run's address set forth below, designating the place
and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other
intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof and each Borrower waives any other notice with respect
thereto.
(d) The proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of the foregoing
rights or remedies shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations
in such order as Lender may elect, and each Borrower shall remain liable to
Lender for any deficiency. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Lender enters into any credit transaction, directly or indirectly, in connection
with the disposition of any Collateral, it shall have the option, at any time,
in its discretion, to reduce the Obligations by the principal amount of such
credit transaction or to defer the reduction thereof until actual receipt by
Lender of cash or other immediately available funds in connection therewith.
(e) In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any
Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy or
otherwise, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives (i) the posting of any bond,
surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required, (ii)
any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to
recover the Collateral, and (iii) any requirement that Lender retain possession
and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.

any agreement with any Person, which constitutes, or with notice or passage of
time or both would constitute, an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the
other Financing Agreements, or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered
against a Borrower (irrespective of the amount of said judgment or the time
elapsed since entry thereof), and charge such Borrower's account(s) therefor,
such amounts to be repayable by such Borrower on demand, together with interest
thereon at the highest rate of interest payable hereunder; provided, however,
Lender shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and
shall not, by making any payment for such Borrower's account(s), be deemed to
have assumed any obligation or liability of such Borrower.
(g) The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not
intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and
not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies Lender may have under
the UCC or other applicable law. Lender shall have the right to determine which
rights and remedies, and in which order any of the same, are to be exercised,
and to determine which Collateral is to be proceeded against and in which order,
-71-
and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any
others, all of which shall be cumulative.
(h) No act, failure or delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver of
any of the rights and remedies of Lender. No single or partial waiver by Lender
of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, or
breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy which Lender may have
shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right or
remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right or remedy on a future
occasion.
(i) Each Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest
and notice of protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the
Obligations or the Collateral and any and all notices or demands whatsoever
(except as expressly provided herein). Lender may, at all times, proceed
directly against either or both of Borrowers to enforce payment of the
Obligations and shall not be required to take any action of any kind to
preserve, collect or protect any rights in the Collateral.
SECTION 8. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION
8.1 Collections; Management of Collateral.
(a) Each Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense,
blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case,
"Blocked Accounts"), as Lender may specify, with such banks as are acceptable to
Lender into which such Borrower shall promptly deposit and direct its account
debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting
proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such
payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. The banks at which
the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, providing that all items received or deposited
in the Blocked Accounts are subject to the security interests and rights of
Lender, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to setoff against,
the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from
time to time on deposit therein and that the depository bank will wire, or
otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, at such
time as Lender shall direct, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked
Accounts to such bank account of Lender as Lender may from time to time
designate for such purpose ("Payment Account"). Borrowers agree that all
payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by
Lender, whether on the Accounts or as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral
or otherwise shall be subject to the security interests and rights of Lender.
(b) For purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, such
payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional upon final
collection) to the Obligations one (1)
-72-
Business Day following the date of receipt of immediately available funds by
Lender in the Payment Account (the "Collection Period"). In the event that as of
any day there are no Loans outstanding, Lender shall be entitled to charge
Borrowers an administrative fee equivalent to the interest Lender would have
received for the Collection Period had there been Loans outstanding on such day,
in the amount of the payments and other funds received pursuant to the preceding
sentence by Lender in the Payment Account on such day. For purposes of
calculating the amount of the Loans available to each Borrower such payments
will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the
Business Day of receipt by Lender in the Payment Account, if such payments are
received within sufficient time (in accordance with Lender's usual and customary
practices as in effect from time to time) to credit such Borrower's loan account
on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. To the extent Lender may
hold cash collateral to secure all of the Obligations on terms and conditions
determined by Lender, so long as no Event of Default shall exist or have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower providing such cash collateral shall
receive a credit to its loan account maintained by Lender at a rate equal to
three (3%) percent per annum less than the Prime Rate. Such credit shall be
applied to the loan account of such Borrower as of the first day of each month.
(c) Each Borrower and all of its Subsidiaries, shareholders,
directors, employees, agents and other Affiliates shall, acting as trustee for
Lender, receive, as the property of Lender according to its interest hereunder,
any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or
proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into their possession or
under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause
the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the
same to be remitted, in kind, to Lender. In no event shall the same be
commingled with such Borrower's own funds. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse
Lender on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked
Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of
funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Lender's payments to or
indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse
Lender for such amounts pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall survive the
termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
-73-
8.2 Payments.
(a) All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as
designated under Section 8.1 or such other place as Lender may designate from
time to time. The Obligations shall be payable upon the effective date of
termination or non-renewal or maturity of the Credit Facility, or earlier upon
an Event of Default, or otherwise as provided elsewhere herein or in the other
Financing Agreements. Lender may apply payments received or collected from a
Borrower or for the account of a Borrower (including, without limitation, the
monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) to such
of the Obligations, whether or not then due, and to such other Obligations then
due, in each case in such order and manner as Lender determines. Lender shall
have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and
all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. Upon the
request of Lender, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender one or more
promissory notes, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, to evidence
further the Loans, or any portion thereof.
(b) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds applied to the
payment of, all or any part of the Obligations, Lender is for any reason
required to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person, because such
payment or proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined
to be void or voidable as a preference, or a diversion of trust funds, or for
any other reason, then the Obligations or any part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue and this Agreement shall continue in
full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Lender
and Borrowers shall be liable to pay to Lender, and hereby does indemnify Lender
and hold Lender harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered.
The provisions of this Section 8.2(b) shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by Lender in
reliance upon such payment or proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken
shall be without prejudice to the rights of Lender under this Agreement and
shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or proceeds having
become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 8.2(b) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
(c) At Lender's option, all principal, interest, fees, commissions,
costs, expenses, or other charges hereunder, under the other Financing
Agreements or in connection herewith or therewith, and any and all Loans, may be
charged directly to any account(s) of Borrowers maintained by Lender.
(d) Each Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the
Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts,
fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any kind or nature
whatsoever.
-74-
8.3 Borrowers' Loan Account. Lender shall maintain one or more loan
account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letter of
Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments
made by or on behalf of a Borrower and (c) all other appropriate debits and
credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees,
charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall
be made in accordance with Lender's customary practices as in effect from time
to time. All Collateral or other collateral security held by or granted to
Lender by a Borrower or any third persons shall be security for the payment and
performance of any and all Obligations to Lender (including, but not limited to,
the Loans), notwithstanding the maintenance of separate accounts for Borrowers
or third persons or the existence of any notes.
8.4 Statements. Lender shall render to Doe Run each month a statement
setting forth the balance in each Borrower's loan account(s) maintained by
Lender for such Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including
principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be
subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest errors or
omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and
conclusively binding upon Borrowers as an account stated except to the extent
that Lender receives a written notice from Borrowers of any specific exceptions
of Borrowers thereto within thirty (30) days after the date such statement has
been mailed by Lender. Until such time as Lender shall have rendered to Doe Run
a written statement as provided above, the balance in such Borrower's loan
account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing by such
Borrower to Lender.
8.5 Right of Inspection; Access. Lender and its representatives shall, at
all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior written notice prior to an Event
of Default and at any time and without notice at any time on or after an Event
of Default, have free access to and right of inspection of the Collateral and
have full access to and the right to examine and make copies of the books and
records of Borrowers to confirm and verify all Accounts, to perform general
audits and to do whatever else Lender deems necessary to protect the interests
of Lender. Lender may at any time remove from the premises of Borrowers or
require Borrower or any accountants and auditors employed by Borrowers to
deliver any books and records and Lender may, without cost or expense to any of
it, use such of Borrowers' personnel, supplies, computer equipment and space at
its places of business as may be reasonably necessary for the handling of
collections.
8.6 Accounts Documentation. Each Borrower shall maintain its shipping
forms, invoices and other related documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Lender and each Borrower shall maintain its books, records and accounts in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Each Borrower shall keep and
maintain, at its cost and expense, satisfactory and complete books and records
of all Accounts, all payments received or credits granted thereon, and all other
dealings therewith. At such times as Lender may reasonably request, each
Borrower shall deliver to Lender, all original documents evidencing the sale and
delivery of
-75-
goods or the performance of services which created any Accounts, including, but
not limited to, all contracts, orders, invoices, bills of lading, warehouse
receipts, delivery tickets and shipping receipts, together with schedules
describing the Accounts and/or written confirmatory assignments to Lender of
each Account, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and duly executed by
such Borrower, together with such other information as Lender may request. In no
event shall the making or the failure to make or the content of any schedule or
assignment or such Borrower's failure to comply with the provisions hereof be
deemed or construed as a waiver, limitation or modification of the security
interest in, lien upon and assignment of the Collateral or the representations,
warranties or covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements.
Any documents, schedules, invoices or other papers delivered to Lender, pursuant
to this Section or otherwise, may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by it
one (1) year after the same are delivered, unless Borrowers make written request
therefor and pay all expenses attendant to their return, in which event Lender
shall return same when its actual or anticipated need therefor has ceased.
8.7 Specific Powers. Each Borrower hereby constitutes Lender and its
designees, as such Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, at
the cost and expense of Borrowers, to exercise at any time all or any of the
following powers which appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full: (a) to
receive, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept and deposit, in the name of
Lender or such Borrower, any and all checks, notes, drafts, remittances and
other instruments and documents or chattel paper, in each case to the extent
relating to the Collateral; (b) to transmit to Account Debtors notice of
Lender's interest therein and to request from such Account Debtors at any time,
in the name of Lender or such Borrower or that of Lender's designee, information
concerning the Collateral and the amounts owing thereon; (d) on or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with notice, passage of
time or both would constitute an Event of Default, to notify Account Debtors to
make payment directly to Lender; (e) on or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or an event which with notice, passage of time or both would constitute
an Event of Default, to take or bring, in the name of Lender or such Borrower,
all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Lender necessary or desirable
to effect collection of the Collateral; and (f) to execute in such Borrower's
name and on its behalf any UCC financing statements relating to the Collateral
or amendments thereto. Each Borrower hereby releases Lender and its officers,
employees and designees, from any liability arising from any act or acts under
this Agreement or in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, and
whether based upon any error of judgment or mistake of law or fact, except for
acts of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender as determined pursuant
to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
-76-
SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION; COSTS
9.1 Term.
(a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become
effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for
a term ending on the date three (3) years from the date hereof (the "Renewal
Date") and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to
the terms hereof; provided, that, Lender or Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements effective on the Renewal Date or on
the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any subsequent year by giving to the
other parties hereto at least sixty (60) days prior written notice. This
Agreement and all other Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously.
(b) In addition, Lender may terminate this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements, or terminate only the provisions of this Agreement as to
future Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations, immediately at any time upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default or an act, condition or event which with
notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Upon the effective date of termination or non-renewal of the
Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to Lender in full, all outstanding and
unpaid Obligations (including, but not limited to, the Loans and all interest,
fees (including the early termination fees provided herein, if applicable),
charges, expenses and other amounts provided for hereunder, under the other
Financing Agreements or otherwise) and shall furnish cash collateral to Lender
in such amounts as Lender determines are reasonably necessary to secure Lender
from loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including Letter
of Credit Accommodations and any checks or other payments provisionally credited
to the Obligations and/or as to which Lender has not yet received final and
indefeasible payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash
collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to such bank
account of Lender, as Lender may, in its discretion, designate in writing to
Borrowers for such purpose. Interest at the Interest Rate shall be due until and
including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrower to the bank
account designated by Lender are received in such bank account later than 12:00
noon, New York, New York time.
(d) No termination of all or any part of the Financing Agreements
shall relieve or discharge either Borrower of its duties, obligations and
covenants under the Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully
indefeasibly discharged and paid, and the continuing security interests of
Lender in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have
been fully and indefeasibly discharged and paid.
-77-
(e) If this Agreement terminates upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default or at the request of either Borrower prior to the Renewal Date, in view
of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and
by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the lost
profits of Lender as a result thereof, Borrowers hereby agree to pay to Lender,
upon the effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in an
amount equal to:
(i) two (2%) percent of the Maximum Credit, if such
termination is effective on or prior to the first
anniversary of this Agreement; or
(ii) one (1%) percent of the Maximum Credit, if such
termination is effective after the first anniversary of
this Agreement but on or prior to the second anniversary
of this Agreement; or
(iii) one-half (1/2%) percent of the Maximum Credit, if such
termination is effective after the second anniversary of
this Agreement but prior to the third anniversary of
this Agreement, or if the Agreement continues for any
renewal term thereafter, if such termination is
effective prior to the last day of such renewal term.
Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages
sustained by said early termination and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable
under the circumstances currently existing. The early termination fee provided
for in this Section 9.1 shall be deemed included in the Obligations.
-78-
9.2 Expenses and Additional Fees.
(a) Each Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand all reasonable costs
and expenses that Lender may pay or incur in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, consummation, administration, enforcement, and termination of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, including, without limitation: (i)
reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and disbursements of counsel to
Lender and any Participant (including allocated costs of in-house counsel); (ii)
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and
disbursements, and allocated costs of in-house counsel) for any amendment,
supplement, waiver, consent, or subsequent closing in connection with the
Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) costs and
expenses of lien and title searches and title insurance; (iv) taxes, fees and
other charges for recording any agreements or documents with the Office of
Patents and Trademarks, the Copyright Office or any other governmental
authority, and the filing of UCC financing statements and continuations, and
other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the security interests and liens
of Lender in the Collateral; (v) sums paid or incurred to pay any amount or take
any action required of Borrowers under the Financing Agreements that Borrowers
fail to pay or take; (vi) with respect to the Collateral, costs of appraisals,
inspections and verifications thereof (including, without limitation, travel,
lodging, and meals) and inspections of each Borrower's operations by Lender,
Participants or their agents, plus a charge of $650 per person per day for the
field examiners of Lender and any Participant; (vii) costs and expenses of
forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and
establishing and maintaining payment accounts and lock boxes; (viii) costs and
expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; and (ix) costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and disbursements
and allocated costs of in-house counsel) paid or incurred to obtain payment of
the Obligations, enforce the security interests and liens of Lender, sell or
otherwise realize upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforce the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, or to defend any claims made
or threatened against Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, preparations for and consultations concerning
any such matters). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other
provisions of the Financing Agreements regarding costs and expenses to be paid
by Borrowers.
(b) Borrowers shall pay to Lender all of its customary charges and
fees in connection with (i) any payment, claim or refund relating to the
dishonor of any checks or other items of Borrowers or Account Debtors, and (ii)
wire transfers to Borrowers.
(c) All sums provided for in this Section 9.2 shall be part of the
Obligations, shall be payable on demand, and shall accrue interest after demand
for payment thereof at the applicable rate of interest then payable hereunder.
Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to charge any amounts payable hereunder
directly to any of the account(s) maintained by Lender with respect to
Borrowers.
-79-
9.3 Survival of Agreement. All agreements, representations and warranties
contained herein or made in writing by the parties hereto in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein or therein regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of Lender.
9.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise, and no delay
in exercising on the part of Lender any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement or under any of the other Financing Agreements or other documents
referred to herein or therein shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or
thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power and privilege. No notice to or demand on a Borrower not
required hereunder or any of the other Financing Agreements shall entitle a
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The rights and
remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any
other present and future agreements between Lender and a Borrower are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or under any of the
Financing Agreements or such other agreements and all such rights and remedies
may be exercised successively or concurrently.
9.5 Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
writing and (a) made to the applicable party at its address set forth on the
signature page hereof, or to such other address as either party may designate by
written notice to the other in accordance with this provision, and (b) deemed to
have been given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if
by telex, telegram or facsimile transmission, immediately upon sending and upon
confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service
with instructions to deliver the next Business Day, one (1) Business Day after
sending; and if by certified mail, return receipt requested, ten (10) days after
mailing.
9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, any
supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to
be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represent the entire agreement
and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the
parties hereto, and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties,
commitments, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof and
thereof, whether oral or written.
9.7 Confidentiality.
(a) Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in
accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information
and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information supplied to it
by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement
-80-
which is clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such
information is furnished by Borrowers to Lender, provided, that, nothing
contained herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the
extent required by statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to
bank examiners and other regulators, auditors and/or accountants, (iii) in
connection with any litigation to which Lender is a party, (iv) to any Affiliate
of Lender, (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
participant) shall have first agreed in writing to treat such information as
confidential in accordance with this Section 9.7, or (vi) to counsel for Lender
or any participant or assignee (or prospective participant or assignee).
(b) In no event shall this Section 9.7 or any other provision of
this Agreement or applicable law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict
disclosure of information that has been or is made public by Borrowers or any
third party without breach of this Section 9.7 or otherwise becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation
hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was or
becomes available to Lender on a non-confidential basis from a person other than
Borrowers, (iii) require Lender to return any materials furnished by Borrowers
to Lender or (iv) prevent Lender from responding to routine informational
requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the Exchange of Credit
Information promulgated by The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Associates or other applicable
industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information. The
obligations of Lender under this Section 9.7 shall supersede and replace the
obligations of Lender under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the date
hereof.
9.8 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Financing Agreements is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements as a whole but this Agreement or the particular Financing Agreement,
as the case may be, shall be construed as though it did not contain the
particular provision or provisions held to be invalid or unenforceable and the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to
such extent as shall be permitted by law.
9.9 Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience only and do not
constitute matters to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.
9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by Lender and Borrowers in separate counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and
the same agreement.
-81-
SECTION 10. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW
10.1 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial
Waiver.
(a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the
relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
(without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).
(b) Borrowers and Lender irrevocably consent and submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York in New
York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with
respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of
the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or
incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or
any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or
thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in
contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to
any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above. Lender shall
have the right to bring any action or proceeding against either or both of
Borrowers or its or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which
Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or
to otherwise enforce its rights against Borrower or its or their property).
(c) Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
registered mail, postage prepaid, directed to its address set forth on the
signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed ten
(10) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails,
registered mail, postage prepaid, or, at Lender's option, by service upon
Borrower in any other manner provided under the rules of any of the foregoing
courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, such Borrower shall appear
in answer to such process, failing which such Borrower shall be deemed in
default and judgment may be entered by Lender against such Borrower for the
amount of the claim and other relief requested.
(d) BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY
-82-
OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY AND THAT BORROWERS OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY
OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE
PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(e) Lender shall not have any liability to Borrowers (whether in
tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrowers in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or
relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that the losses
were the result of such party's own acts or omissions constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Lender shall be
entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good
faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the
terms of this Agreement.
10.2 Waiver of Notices. Borrowers hereby expressly waive demand,
presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect
to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any
of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral
and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice
to or demand on a Borrower which Lender may elect to give shall entitle
Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers waive
(a) notice prior to Lender's taking possession or control of any of the
collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to
allowing Lender to exercise any of Lender's remedies, including the issuance of
an immediate writ of possession and (b) the benefit of all valuation,
appraisement and exemption laws.
10.3 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision
hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of
conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of
Lender, and as to amendments, as also signed by authorized officers of
Borrowers. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed
to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies
unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of
Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set
forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power
and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether
similar in kind or otherwise.
-83-
10.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower waives all rights to interpose
any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other than
compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or
relating hereto or thereto.
10.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and
its respective officers, directors, agents, employees and counsel, harmless from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any
litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related
to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance
or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any
undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto,
including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the
fees and expenses of counsel except to the extent resulting directly from the
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender as determined pursuant to a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent
that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy,
Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under
applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this
Section. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations
and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
10.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, the other Financing
Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender, Borrowers, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrowers may not assign
its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other
document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of
Lender. Lender may, after prior notice to Doe Run, assign its rights and
delegate its obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements
and further may assign, or, after prior notice to Doe Run, sell participations
in, all or any part of the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations or any
other interest herein to another financial institution or other person, in which
event, the assignee or participant shall have, to the extent of such assignment
or participation, the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were the
Lender hereunder, except as otherwise provided by the terms of such assignment
or participation. Upon the request of Doe Run, Lender shall identify any
Participants to Doe Run.
-84-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lender and Borrowers have caused these presents to be
duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Environmental Matters
1. Matters with respect to The Doe Run Resources Corporation set forth in the
"Environmental Assessment of the La Oroya Metallurgical Complex and The
Doe Run Company" dated October 1997 prepared for BT Securities Corporation
by Environ International Corporation, a division of APBI's Environmental
Sciences Group, Inc.
2. Matters disclosed on Schedule 5.10 hereto.
3. All active and inactive mine and smelter sites are on the Environmental
Protection Agency CERCLA list. Information requested and submitted on old
Viburnum tailings facility.
4. Primary smelter slag produced by and stored at the Herculaneum smelter is
currently exempt from hazardous waste regulation under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1973, as amended ("RCRA"). However, the
Environmental Protection Agency recently published a proposed rule which,
if adopted, would require this slag to be managed as a hazardous waste.
Certain other waste materials, including baghouse dust, generated at the
smelter now recycled in the smelter may also become regulated as hazardous
wastes. If the slag or other wastes at the smelter are regulated as
hazardous waste, the Company may be required to take corrective action
under RCRA at the smelter, as well as to adopt stricter management
practices for these wastes.
5. The Herculaneum smelter, currently has not attained the ambient air
quality standard for lead promulgated under the federal Clean Air Act. The
Company is working with regulators to develop a new three-year compliance
plan to begin after fiscal 1998 to implement identified control measures.
6. The Buick smelter area is designated non-attainment for the air lead
standard. The last 5 years of monitoring demonstrates the smelter is in
compliance and an application has been made to certify the area in
compliance.
7. Doe Run's recycling facility is subject to corrective action requirements
under RCRA, as a result of a storage permit for certain wastes issued in
1989. This has required and may involve future remediation of solid waste
management units at the site.
8. The Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing Maximum Achievable
Control Technology ("MACT") for primary smelters but has not at this time
proposed a MACT rule. In the event a MACT rule for primary smelters is
proposed and adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency, the rule
could increase compliance costs at the Herculaneum smelter.
9. The Company's operating facilities have waste water discharge permits
issued under the federal Clean Water Act, as amended. It is expected that
stricter discharge limits than previously in effect will be included in
permits now subject to renewal. As a result, there will be additional
treatment facilities required.
10. The Company's mining and milling operations include five mine waste
disposal facilities that are subject to Missouri mine closure permit
requirements.
11. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources ("MDNR") by letter dated
April 11, 1997 issued Notice of Excess Emissions observed on August 1,
1997, at the Herculaneum smelter. After response in writing by Doe Run,
MDNR issued a letter dated September 12, 1997 that they will not take
additional action.
12. The MDNR issued an air inspection report dated May 13, 1997 of potential
Notice of Excess Emissions of an opacity excursion at the Buick facility.
After response by Doe Run, an MDNR official gave verbal response that MDNR
will probably not issue a NOEE.
13. The NDNR, by letter of February 4, 1997, noticed exceedences of water
discharge limits for zinc at the Buick Mine/mill facility. A compliance
agreement was entered into in May, 1997, whereby Doe Run paid a $25,000
penalty and constructed a pump-back basin. Compliance with the zinc
discharge limit was demonstrated within 30 days of construction as
required in the agreement.
