2. REVOLVING LOANS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Other Agreements, during the Original Term and any Renewal
Term:
(a) LaSalle shall make revolving loans and advances (the

accordance with the terms of paragraph 2(b) hereof. The aggregate unpaid

term, and (B) the acceleration of the Liabilities pursuant to paragraph 17 of
this Agreement. If at any time the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans made to Omni exceeds Omni's Borrowing Base, or if at any time
the amount of all Revolving Loans exceeds the Revolving Loan Facility, Omni
shall immediately, and without the necessity of a demand by LaSalle, pay to
LaSalle such amounts as may be necessary to eliminate such excess, and LaSalle
shall apply such payments against the outstanding principal balance of the

"Borrowing Base" for Omni):
(i) the applicable A/R Advance Rate applied to the face
amount of Omni's Eligible Accounts plus,
(ii) the lesser of $1,250,000 or the Inventory Advance Rate
applied to the value of Omni's Eligible Inventory calculated on
the lower of cost or market value on a first-in, first-out basis;
less
(iii) such reserves as LaSalle in its reasonable judgment
may from time to time establish in determining the Borrowing Base
to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks which may
adversely affect the Collateral, the business, business prospects
or financial condition of Borrowers, the security interests of
LaSalle, or the security of the Loans.
3. TERM LOANS
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Agreements, on the Closing Date LaSalle will make a Term Loan to Omni in
the original principal amount of Eight Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand and No/100

account of the Omni Real Estate Term Loan shall be payable in successive monthly
installments of $7,191.67 payable on the first day of each month, the first of
which installments shall be due and payable on the first day of the month
immediately following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the entire
unpaid principal balance of the Omni Real Estate Term Loan shall be due and
payable in full upon the expiration of the Original Term of this Agreement.
Provided, further, that in the event the Original Term of this Agreement is
initially or subsequently renewed in accordance with paragraph 12 hereof, then
Omni shall continue to make such equal and level monthly payments, and a final
installment equal to the unpaid principal balance and any other amounts
outstanding shall be due and payable upon expiration of the Renewal Term.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Agreements, on the Closing Date LaSalle will make a Term Loan to Rail in
the original principal amount of Seven Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($737,000) (the "Rail Real Estate Term Loan"). Principal payable on
account of the Rail Real Estate Term Loan shall be payable in successive monthly
installments of $6,141.67 payable on the first day of each month, the first of
which installments shall be due and payable on the first day of the month
immediately following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the entire
unpaid principal balance of the Rail Real Estate Term Loan shall be due and
payable in full upon the expiration of the Original Term of this Agreement.
Provided, further, that in the event that the Original Term of this Agreement is
initially or subsequently renewed in accordance with paragraph 12 hereof, then
8
Rail shall continue to make such equal and level monthly payments, and a final
installment equal to the unpaid principal balance and any other amounts
outstanding shall be due and payable upon the expiration of the Renewal Term.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Agreements, on the Closing Date LaSalle will make an additional Term Loan
to Omni in the original principal amount of One Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($124,000), (the "M & E Term Loan"). Principal payable on account
of the M & E Term Loan shall be payable in successive monthly installments of
$2,066.67 payable on the first day of each month, the first of which
installments shall be due and payable on the first day of the month immediately
following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal
balance of the M & E Term Loan shall be due and payable in full upon the
expiration of the Original Term of this Agreement. Provided, further, that in
the event that the Original Term of this Agreement is initially or subsequently
renewed in accordance with paragraph 12 hereof, then Omni shall continue to make
such equal and level monthly payments, and a final installment equal to the
unpaid principal balance and any other amounts outstanding shall be due and
payable upon the expiration of the Renewal Term.
(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Agreements, LaSalle may make advances to Omni from time to time upon
Omni's request to fund the purchase of new machinery and equipment, provided
that the aggregate amount of such advances will not exceed the Capital
Expenditure Facility. Each advance under the Capital Expenditure Facility (a
"Capital Expenditure Advance") must be requested by Borrower in writing with
supporting documentation acceptable to LaSalle and may not exceed the lesser of
(i) eighty percent (80%) of Omni's actual cost (excluding delivery, tax, service
contracts and extended warranties, installation, engineering and similar costs)
of machinery and equipment acceptable to LaSalle in its reasonable discretion or
(ii) the Capital Expenditure Facility minus the aggregate amount of all prior
Capital Expenditure Advances. LaSalle will have a first priority security
interest in such machinery and equipment, and it will otherwise be free of liens
and encumbrances. No principal payments will be required on any Capital
Expenditure Advance in the Contract Year in which it is made. At the end of each
Contract Year, all Capital Expenditure Advances advanced during the Contract
Year will be aggregated (each such aggregate amount being referred to in this
Agreement as a "Capital Expenditure Loan"). Principal payable on account of each
Capital Expenditure Loan shall be payable in sixty (60) equal successive monthly
installments, the first of which installments shall be due and payable on the
first day of the first month of the Contract Year following the year of advance;
provided, however, that the entire unpaid balance of each Capital Expenditure
Loan, and all Capital Expenditure Advances not yet aggregated into a Capital
Expenditure Loan, shall be due and payable in full upon the expiration of the
Original Term of this Agreement; and, provided, further, that in the event that
the Original Term of this Agreement is initially or subsequently renewed in
accordance with paragraph 12 hereof, then Omni shall continue to make such equal
and level monthly payments, and a final installment equal to the unpaid
principal balance and any other amounts outstanding shall be due and payable
upon the expiration of the Renewal Term.
(e) Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the
entire unpaid principal balance of all the Term Loans, and any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the last day of the Original Term or the last day of any Renewal
Term, if either LaSalle or Borrower elects to terminate this Agreement as of the
end of any such Original or Renewal Term as provided in paragraph 12 hereof and
(ii) the acceleration of the Liabilities pursuant to paragraph 16 of this
Agreement. Interest shall accrue on the Term Loans at the rates provided in, and
shall be payable in accordance with, paragraph 5 below. The Term Loans shall, in
LaSalle's reasonable discretion, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes
(the "Term Notes") in form and substance satisfactory to LaSalle. However, if
the Term Loans are not so evidenced, they may be evidenced solely by entries
upon the books and records maintained by LaSalle. The outstanding principal
balance of the Term Loans and all interest accruing thereon will be included in
the Liabilities.
(f) If either Borrower sells any Equipment or any real property
subject to a Mortgage or if any of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or taken
by condemnation, Borrowers shall pay to LaSalle, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein or otherwise agreed to by LaSalle, as and when received by
Borrowers and as a mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan, to be applied against
the last maturing installments of principal thereof, in the inverse order
thereof (or, at LaSalle's option, such of the other Liabilities of Borrowers as
LaSalle may elect), a sum equal to the proceeds received by Borrowers from (i)
such sale or (ii) such damage, destruction or condemnation.

4. ACQUISITION FACILITY. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Agreements, LaSalle will make available to Borrowers in
accordance with this paragraph 4 additional revolving and term loans to finance
future business acquisitions by Borrowers, provided that the aggregate amount of
all such revolving loans at any time outstanding, together with the original
principal amounts of all term loans, will not exceed the Acquisition Facility.
Loans under this paragraph 4 will be conditioned upon due diligence and field
examinations satisfactory to LaSalle; LaSalle's satisfaction with the terms and
conditions and documentation of the proposed acquisition; LaSalle's satisfaction
with the proposed collateral and all appraisals and examinations which LaSalle
requires in relation thereto; LaSalle's satisfaction with Borrower's pro forma
debt service coverage after giving effect to the proposed transaction; and the
execution and delivery of all such documents, including amendments to this
Agreement and the Other Documents, and the fulfillment of all such other
conditions, as LaSalle may require. It is anticipated that Loans under this
paragraph 4 will generally be structured and documented in the same manner as
the Revolving Loans and Term Loans provided for in this Agreement, with such
modifications as LaSalle considers appropriate under the circumstances.
5. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES.
(a) Rate of Interest. Interest accrued on all Loans shall be due
on the earliest of: (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately
preceding month), computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month;
(ii) acceleration of the maturity and payment of the Liabilities pursuant to
paragraph 17(a) hereof; or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to
paragraph 12 hereof. Except as provided in paragraph 5(b) hereof, interest shall
accrue on the principal amount of all Loans made to Borrowers outstanding at the
end of each day at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus one
percent (1.00%). The rate of interest payable on all Loans shall increase or
decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate,
effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the
Prime Rate occurs.
(b) Default Rate of Interest. UPON AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN
EVENT OF DEFAULT, AND DURING THE CONTINUATION THEREOF, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF
ALL LOANS SHALL BEAR INTEREST ON DEMAND AT A RATE PER ANNUM EQUAL TO THE RATE OF
INTEREST THEN OTHERWISE IN EFFECT UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 5 PLUS TWO PERCENT (2%).
(c) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and collection
charges hereunder shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual
number of days elapsed over a year consisting of three hundred and sixty (360)
days. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder, all items of payment
received by LaSalle shall be deemed applied by LaSalle on account of the
Liabilities (subject to final payment of such items) on the first Business Day
after receipt by LaSalle of collected funds in LaSalle's account located in
Chicago, Illinois.
(d) Maximum Interest. It is the intent of the parties that the
rate of interest and the other charges to Borrowers under this Agreement shall
be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable
under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final
determination, to exceed the limit which LaSalle may lawfully charge Borrowers,
then the obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be
reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been
paid, then such amount shall be refunded to Borrowers.
(e) Facility Fee. Borrowers shall pay to LaSalle a facility fee
of one percent (1.0%) of the Revolving Loan Facility, plus one percent (1.0%) of
the aggregate amount of the initial Term Loans, plus one-half of one percent
(0.5%) of the Acquisition Facility which shall be fully earned, nonrefundable
and due on the Closing Date.
(f) Unused Facility Fee. Borrowers shall pay to LaSalle monthly,
in arrears on the first day of each month, an unused line fee at a rate equal to
one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum calculated upon the daily average
amount by which the Revolving Loan Facility plus the Acquisition Facility
exceeds (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans plus (ii)
the outstanding Loans under the Acquisition Facility. The Unused Line Fee shall
accrue from the Closing Date until the last day of the Original Term, and if
applicable, from the first day to the last day of each Renewal Term.
(g) Collateral Maintenance Fee. Borrowers shall pay to LaSalle a
Collateral Maintenance Fee of $7,500 per year. The Collateral Maintenance Fee
for the first year shall be fully earned on the Closing Date and the Collateral
10
Maintenance Fee for each subsequent year shall be fully earned on each
anniversary of the Closing Date. The Collateral Maintenance Fee shall be payable
in monthly installments of $625 each, the first installment to be paid on the
Closing Date and subsequent installments to be made on the first day of each
month; provided, however, that any portion of the Collateral Maintenance Fee
which has been earned but is then unpaid shall be payable immediately upon
termination of this Agreement.
6. LOAN ADMINISTRATION.
(a) Loan Requests. A request for a Revolving Loan shall be made
or shall be deemed to be made, each in the following manner: (i) Omni shall give
LaSalle same day notice, no later than 10:30 A.M. (Portland time) of such day,
of its intention to borrow a Revolving Loan, in which notice Omni shall specify
the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date; provided,
however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists a Default
or an Event of Default; (ii) if Omni is using the cash management services of
LaSalle National Bank, Omni will be deemed to have requested Revolving Loans at
such times and in such amounts as are required to cover drafts and other charges
clearing Omni's account each day in accordance with the cash management
procedures approved by Omni; and (iii) the coming due of any amount required to
be paid under this Agreement or any Note, whether on account of interest or for
any other Liability, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving
Loan on the due date thereof in the amount required to pay such interest or
other Liability. As an accommodation to Borrowers, LaSalle may permit telephone
requests for Revolving Loans and electronic transmittal of instructions,
authorizations, agreements or reports to LaSalle by Borrowers. LaSalle shall
have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by either
Borrower as a result of LaSalle's honoring of any requests, execution of any
instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports
communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been
sent to LaSalle by Borrowers, or either of them, and LaSalle shall have no duty
to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the Person
sending it. Each notice of borrowing shall be irrevocable by and binding on
Borrowers.
(b) Disbursement. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize LaSalle
to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by Borrowers, or
deemed to be requested by Borrowers, as follows: (i) the proceeds of each
Revolving Loan requested under paragraph 6(a)(i) shall be disbursed by LaSalle
in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds,
in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the
written disbursement letter from Borrowers, and in the case of each subsequent
borrowing, by wire transfer or interbank transfer to such bank account or
accounts as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and LaSalle from time to time, or
elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from a Borrower; (ii) the proceeds
of each Revolving Loan requested under paragraph 6(a)(ii) shall be disbursed by
LaSalle to Borrower's account in accordance with the cash management procedures
referred to above; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under
paragraph 6(a)(iii) shall be disbursed by LaSalle by way of direct payment of
the relevant interest or other Liability.
7. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST TO LASALLE. As security for the
payment of all Loans now or in the future made by LaSalle to Borrowers hereunder
and for the payment or other satisfaction of all other Liabilities, Borrowers,
and each of them, hereby assigns to LaSalle and grants to LaSalle a continuing
security interest in the following property of each Borrower, whether now or
hereafter owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter
located: (a) all Accounts (whether or not Eligible Accounts) and all Goods whose
sale, lease or other disposition by such Borrower has given rise to Accounts and
have been returned to or repossessed or stopped in transit by such Borrower; (b)
all Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents and General Intangibles (including,
without limitation, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, trade names, trade secrets, goodwill, copyrights, registrations,
licenses, franchises, customer lists, tax refund claims, claims against carriers
and shippers, guarantee claims, contracts rights, security interests, security
deposits and any rights to indemnification); (c) all Inventory; (d) all Goods
(other than Inventory) including, without limitation, Equipment, vehicles and
fixtures; (e) all Deposit Accounts; (f) all Investment Property; (g) all
deposits and cash and any other property of the Borrower now or hereafter in the
possession, custody or control of LaSalle or any agent or any Parent, Affiliate
or Subsidiary of LaSalle or any participant with LaSalle in the Loans for any
purpose (whether for safekeeping, deposit, collection, custody, pledge,
transmission or otherwise); and (h) all additions and accessions to,
substitutions for, and replacements, products and proceeds of the foregoing
property, including, without limitation, proceeds of all insurance policies
insuring the foregoing property, and all of Borrowers' books and records
relating to any of the foregoing and to Borrowers' business. In addition,
Borrowers shall grant Mortgages to LaSalle with respect to Borrowers' real
property and fixtures in Ennis, Texas, McHenry, Illinois, and Nevada City,
11
California. Each Borrower agrees that its property as described above shall
secure payment and performance of its Liabilities and the Liabilities of the
other Borrower.
8. PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL AND PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS
THEREIN. Borrowers, and each of them, shall, at LaSalle's request, at any time
and from time to time, execute and deliver to LaSalle such financing statements,
documents and other agreements and instruments (and pay the cost of filing or
recording the same in all public offices deemed reasonably necessary or
reasonably desirable by LaSalle) and do such other acts and things as LaSalle
may deem necessary or desirable in order to establish and maintain a valid,
attached and perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of LaSalle
(free and clear of all other liens, claims and rights of third parties
whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily created, except Permitted
Liens) to secure payment of the Liabilities, and in order to facilitate the
collection of the Collateral. Borrowers, and each of them, irrevocably hereby
make, constitute and appoint LaSalle (and all Persons designated by LaSalle for
that purpose) as each Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to
execute such financing statements, documents and other agreements and
instruments and do such other acts and things as may be necessary to preserve
and perfect LaSalle's security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers further
agree that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this
Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing
statement.
9. POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL AND RELATED MATTERS. Until an Event of
Default has occurred, Borrowers shall have the right, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, in the ordinary course of Borrowers' businesses, to
(a) sell,lease or furnish under contracts of service any of Borrowers' Inventory
normally held by Borrowers for any such purpose, and (b) use and consume any raw
materials, work in process or other materials normally held by Borrowers for
such purpose; provided, however, that a sale in the ordinary course of business
shall not include any transfer or sale in satisfaction, partial or complete, of
a debt owed by either Borrower, but shall include replacement of goods sold by
Omni if such replacement is made pursuant to Omni's standard written warranties.
-------- -------
10. COLLECTIONS.
(a) Borrowers shall, at LaSalle's request, direct all of their
Account Debtors to make all payments on the Accounts directly to one or more
post office boxes (each a "Lock Box") with a financial institution acceptable
to, and in the name and under exclusive control of, LaSalle. Borrowers shall
establish one or more accounts (each a "Blocked Account") in LaSalle's name for
the benefit of Borrowers with a financial institution acceptable to LaSalle,
into which all payments received in the Lock Box shall be deposited, and into
which Borrowers will immediately deposit all payments made for Inventory or
services sold or rendered by Borrowers and received by Borrowers, or either of
them, in the identical form in which such payments were made, whether by cash or
check. If a Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower, or any
shareholder, officer, director, employee or agent of a Borrower or any Affiliate
or Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert with a Borrower,
shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or
as proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, such Borrower and each such Person
shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive
property of, LaSalle and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same
(or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the appropriate Blocked Account.
Each financial institution with which a Lock Box and Blocked Account are
established shall acknowledge and agree, in a manner satisfactory to LaSalle,
that the amounts on deposit in such Lock Box and Blocked Account are the sole
and exclusive property of LaSalle, that such financial institution has no right
to setoff against such Lock Box or Blocked Account or against any other account
maintained by such financial institution into which the contents of such Blocked
Account are transferred, and that such financial institution shall wire, or
otherwise transfer in immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to
LaSalle, funds deposited in the Blocked Account on a daily basis as such funds
are collected. Borrowers agree that all payments made to the Blocked Accounts
established by Borrowers or otherwise received by LaSalle, whether in respect of
the Accounts of Borrowers or as proceeds of other Collateral of Borrowers or
otherwise, will be applied on account of the Liabilities of Borrowers in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowers agree to pay all fees,
costs and expenses which Borrowers incur or LaSalle incurs in connection with
opening and maintaining a Lock Box and Blocked Account. All of such fees, costs
and expenses which remain unpaid by Borrowers pursuant to any Lock Box or
Blocked Account Agreement with Borrowers, to the extent same shall have been
paid by LaSalle hereunder, shall constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall be
payable to LaSalle by Borrowers upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear
interest at the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder. All
checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral
delivered to LaSalle in kind shall be endorsed by Borrowers to LaSalle, and, if
endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, LaSalle is hereby
12
irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrowers behalf. For the purpose
of this paragraph, Borrowers irrevocably hereby make, constitute and appoint
LaSalle (and all Persons designated by LaSalle for that purpose) as each
Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse each
Borrower's name upon said items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral of
Borrowers and upon any Chattel Paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar
document or agreement relating to any Account of Borrowers or goods pertaining
thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds
thereof; (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of
Borrowers' mail is deposited; and (iv) to open and process all mail addressed to
either Borrower and deposited therein; provided, however, that LaSalle shall not
exercise any such powers described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) (except for
routine Lock Box payments/proceeds) and (iv) unless and until an Event of
Default has occurred.
(b) LaSalle may, at any time and from time to time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to any
Account Debtor and whether before or after the maturity of any of the
Liabilities, (i) enforce collection of any of Borrowers' Accounts or contract
rights by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of Borrowers' rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts; (iii) surrender,
release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts of Borrowers, or compromise
or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original
period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any Account of either
Borrower upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as LaSalle
deems advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign each Borrower's name on any proof of
claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor
indebted on an Account of either Borrower; and (vi) do all other acts and things
which are necessary, in LaSalle's sole discretion, to fulfill Borrowers'
obligations under this Agreement and to allow LaSalle to collect the Accounts.
LaSalle, through its officers, employees or agents, shall have the right, at any
time and from time to time in LaSalle's name, in the name of a nominee of
LaSalle or in each Borrower's name, to verify the validity, amount or any other
matter relating to any of Borrowers' Accounts, by mail, telephone, telegraph or
otherwise. Borrowers shall reimburse LaSalle, on demand, for all reasonable
costs, fees and expenses incurred by LaSalle in this regard after the occurrence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default. In addition to any other
provision hereof, LaSalle may at any time on or after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, at Borrowers' expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the
Accounts of Borrowers to make payment directly to LaSalle of any amounts due or
to become due thereunder.
(c) For the purpose of determining the Borrowing Base of Omni
hereunder, LaSalle shall, upon receipt by LaSalle at its office in Chicago,
Illinois, of cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items
of payment and proceeds of any Collateral, apply the whole or any part of such
collections or proceeds against the Liabilities in such order as LaSalle shall
determine in its sole discretion.
(d) In its reasonable credit judgment, without waiving or
releasing any obligation, liability or duty of Borrowers under this Agreement or
the Other Agreements or any Event of Default, at any time or times hereafter,
LaSalle may (but shall not be obligated to) pay, acquire or accept an assignment
of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or claim asserted by any Person in,
upon or against the Collateral. All sums paid by LaSalle in respect thereof and
all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney
fees for both inside and outside counsel, all court costs and all other charges
relating thereto) incurred by LaSalle shall constitute Revolving Loans, payable
by Borrowers to LaSalle on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the
highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder.
(e) Immediately upon either Borrower's receipt of any portion of
the Collateral evidenced by an agreement, Instrument or Document including,
without limitation, any Chattel Paper, such Borrower shall deliver the original
thereof to LaSalle together with an appropriate endorsement or other specific
evidence of assignment thereof to LaSalle (in form and substance acceptable to
LaSalle). If an endorsement or assignment of any such item shall not be made for
any reason, LaSalle is hereby irrevocably authorized, as such Borrower's
attorney and agent-in-fact, to endorse or assign the same on such Borrower's
behalf.
11. SCHEDULES AND REPORTS.
(a) Borrowers shall provide to LaSalle compliance certificates in
the form attached as Exhibit D and the periodic reports and other information
and schedules described on Exhibit E at the times specified on Exhibit E. In
addition, Borrowers shall furnish LaSalle with such other statements and reports
as LaSalle may request from time to time, including, without limitation,
providing the reports, information, and schedules listed on Exhibit E on a more
frequent basis than specified on Exhibit E.
13
(b) Borrowers shall immediately notify LaSalle of any event
causing material loss or depreciation in value of the Collateral (other than
normal depreciation occurring in the ordinary course of business).
(c) All schedules, certificates, reports and assignments and
other items delivered by Borrowers to LaSalle hereunder shall be executed by an
authorized representative of Borrowers and shall be in such form and contain
such information as LaSalle shall reasonably request.
12. TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement shall be in effect from the date hereof until
the third anniversary of the Closing Date ("Original Term") and shall
automatically renew itself from year to year thereafter (each such one year
renewal being referred to herein as a "Renewal Term") unless (i) the due date of
the Liabilities is accelerated pursuant to paragraph 17 hereof; or (ii)
Borrowers elect or LaSalle elects to terminate this Agreement at the end of the
Original Term or at the end of any Renewal Term by giving the other party
written notice of such election at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of
the Original Term or the then current Renewal Term, in which case Borrowers
shall pay all of the Liabilities in full on the last day of such term. If one or
more of the events specified in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) occurs, this Agreement
shall terminate on the date thereafter that the Liabilities are paid in full;
and the security interests and liens created under this Agreement and the Other
Agreements shall survive such termination until the date upon which payment and
satisfaction in full of the Liabilities shall have occurred. At such time as
Borrowers have repaid all of the Liabilities and this Agreement has terminated,
(A) Borrowers shall deliver to LaSalle a release, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle, of all obligations and liabilities of
LaSalle and its officers, directors, employees, agents, Parents, Subsidiaries
and Affiliates to Borrowers, and if Borrowers, or either of them, is obtaining
new financing from another lender, Borrowers shall deliver such lender's
indemnification of LaSalle, in form and substance satisfactory to LaSalle, for
checks which LaSalle has credited to Borrowers' accounts, but which subsequently
are dishonored for any reason and (B) upon Borrowers' request, LaSalle shall
deliver to Borrowers a release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Borrowers.
(b) Except as provided below, if, during the term of this
Agreement, (including any Renewal Term) Borrowers prepay all or any portion of
the Liabilities, Borrowers agree to pay to LaSalle, as a prepayment fee, in
addition to the payment of all other Liabilities owing by Borrowers, an amount
equal to one percent (1.00%) of the portion of the Liabilities prepaid (if less
than all the Liabilities) or one percent (1.00%) of the Total Facility if all
Liabilities are prepaid. Provided, however, that Rail may prepay the Rail Real
Estate Term Loan without prepayment fee from the proceeds of the sale of Rail's
real property in Nevada City, California. In light of the extreme difficulty of
accurately calculating actual damages arising out of any prepayment, LaSalle and
Borrower have agreed that the prepayment fee provided for above is a reasonable
estimate of actual damages that would be incurred.
13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrowers, and each of them,
hereby make the following representations, warranties and covenants:
(a) the financial statements delivered or to be delivered by
Borrowers to LaSalle at or prior to the date of this Agreement and at all times

ordinance or rule of law, or any agreement, contract or other document which may
now or hereafter be binding on such Borrower, and each Borrower's execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Other Agreements shall not

which is material to the continued financial success and well-being of such

14. COVENANTS. Until payment or satisfaction in full of all
Liabilities and termination of this Agreement, unless Borrowers obtain LaSalle's
prior written consent waiving or modifying any of Borrowers' covenants hereunder
in any specific instance, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
Borrowers, and each of them, agree as follows:
(a) Borrowers shall at all times keep accurate and complete
books, records and accounts with respect to all of Borrowers' business
activities, in accordance with sound accounting practices and using the
accounting terms and definitions specified in paragraph 1(b) and shall keep such
books, records and accounts, and any copies thereof, only at the addresses
indicated for such purpose on Exhibit B;
(b) Borrowers agree to deliver to LaSalle the following financial
information, all of which shall be prepared in accordance with accounting terms
and definitions specified in paragraph 1(b): (i) no later than thirty (30) days
after each calendar month, copies of internally prepared financial statements of
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated, monthly and year-to-date
basis including, without limitation, balance sheets and statements of income and
cash flows of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, certified by an officer of Omni
on behalf of Borrowers and accompanied by an officer's certificate in the form
of Exhibit D attached hereto; (ii) no later than ninety (90) days after the end
of each of Borrowers' fiscal years, annual financial statements of Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis audited by independent certified
public accountants selected by Borrowers and reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle,
together with such accountants' "management letter," if any; and (iii) no later
than 30 days after the end of each of Omni's fiscal years, projected balance
sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows for each month of the
following year; (iv) promptly as filed all 10KSB's, 10Q's and other reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; and (v) promptly as transmitted all proxy materials and
other reports and information transmitted to Borrowers' shareholders;
(c) LaSalle, or any Persons designated by it, shall have the
right in the exercise of its commercially reasonable credit judgment, to call at
Borrowers' places of business at any reasonable times, and, without hindrance or
delay, to inspect the Collateral and to inspect, audit, check and make extracts
from Borrowers' books, records, journals, orders, receipts and any
correspondence and other data relating to Borrowers' businesses, the Collateral
or any transactions between the parties hereto, and shall have the right to make
such verification concerning Borrowers' businesses as LaSalle may consider
reasonable under the circumstances. Borrowers shall furnish to LaSalle such
information relevant to LaSalle's rights under this Agreement as LaSalle shall
at any time and from time to time reasonably request. Borrowers authorize
LaSalle to discuss the affairs, finances and business of Borrowers with any
officers or directors of each Borrower or any Affiliate, or with those employees
of each Borrower with whom LaSalle has determined in its commercially reasonable
judgment to be necessary or desirable to converse, and to discuss the financial
condition of Borrowers with Borrowers' independent public accountants. Any such
discussions shall be without liability to LaSalle or to such accountants.
LaSalle, through its officers, employees or agents, shall have the right, at any
time and from time to time in LaSalle's name, in the name of a nominee of
LaSalle or in either Borrower's name, to verify the validity, amount or any
17
other matter relating to any of Borrowers' Accounts, by mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall pay to or reimburse LaSalle for all
reasonable fees, costs, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LaSalle in the
exercise of its rights under the immediately preceding sentence (in addition to
the fees payable by Borrowers pursuant to paragraph 14(o) hereof) and all of
such costs, fees and expenses shall constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall
be payable on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate
then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder;
(d) (i) Borrowers shall keep the Collateral properly housed and
shall keep the Collateral insured against such risks and in such amounts as are
customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of
Borrowers with such companies, in such amounts and under policies in such form
as shall be reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle. Originals or certified copies of
such policies of insurance have been, or within fifteen (15) days after the
Closing Date, shall be, delivered to LaSalle together with evidence of payment
of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and
substance acceptable to LaSalle, showing loss under such insurance policies
payable to LaSalle. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to
LaSalle, shall provide that the insurance company shall give LaSalle at least
thirty (30) days' written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered
or cancelled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of either
Borrower or any other Person shall affect the right of LaSalle to recover under
such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. Borrowers shall also obtain
an endorsement designating LaSalle as a loss payee with respect to all policies
of credit insurance maintained by Borrowers, or either of them. Borrowers hereby
direct all insurers under such policies of insurance described above to pay all
proceeds payable thereunder directly to LaSalle (subject, however, to the rights
of holders of Permitted Liens with priority over LaSalle's security interest).
Borrowers irrevocably make, constitute and appoint LaSalle (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by LaSalle) as each Borrower's true and lawful
attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting
claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the names of Borrowers on any
check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such
policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect
to such policies of insurance; provided, however, that LaSalle shall exercise
such rights only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default;
(ii) Borrowers shall maintain, at their expense, such public
liability and third party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons
engaged in businesses similar to that of Borrowers with such companies and in
such amounts, with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle, and originals or certified copies of such
policies have been, or within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date shall be,
delivered to LaSalle together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor;
each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing LaSalle as additional
insured thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give LaSalle
at least thirty (30) days' written notice before any such policy shall be
altered or cancelled; and
(iii) If Borrowers at any time or times hereafter shall fail
to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay
any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then LaSalle, without waiving
or releasing any obligation or default by Borrowers hereunder, may (but shall be
under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay
such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as LaSalle deems
advisable. All sums disbursed by LaSalle in connection with any such actions,
including, without limitation, court costs, expenses, other charges relating
thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall constitute Revolving Loans
hereunder and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then
applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder.
WARNING
UNLESS BORROWERS PROVIDE LASALLE WITH EVIDENCE OF
THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY THIS
AGREEMENT, LASALLE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT
BORROWERS' EXPENSE TO PROTECT LASALLE'S INTEREST.
THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT
BORROWERS' INTEREST. IF THE COLLATERAL BECOMES
DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE LASALLE PURCHASES MAY NOT
PAY ANY CLAIM BORROWERS MAKE OR ANY CLAIM MADE
AGAINST BORROWERS. BORROWERS MAY LATER CANCEL THIS
COVERAGE BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT BORROWERS HAVE
OBTAINED THE REQUIRED COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.
18
BORROWERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY
INSURANCE PURCHASED BY LASALLE. THE COST OF THIS
INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO BORROWERS' LIABILITIES.
IF THE COST IS ADDED TO BORROWERS' LIABILITIES,
THE INTEREST RATE APPLICABLE TO THE REVOLVING
LOANS WILL APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT. THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE
BORROWERS' PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE
BORROWERS FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COVERAGE.
THE COVERAGE LASALLE PURCHASES MAY BE CONSIDERABLY
MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE BORROWERS CAN OBTAIN
ON THEIR OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR
PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY
LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY
APPLICABLE LAW.
(e) Borrowers shall not use the Collateral, or any part thereof,
in any unlawful business or for any unlawful purpose or use or maintain any of
the Collateral in any manner that does or could result in material damage to the
environment or a violation of any applicable environmental laws, rules or
regulations; Borrowers shall keep the Collateral in good condition, repair and
order, ordinary wear and tear excepted; Borrowers shall not permit the
Collateral, or any part thereof, to be levied upon under execution, attachment,
distraint or other legal process; Borrowers shall not sell, lease, grant a
security interest in or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral except as
expressly permitted by this Agreement; and Borrowers shall not secrete or
abandon any of the Collateral, or remove or permit removal of any of the
Collateral from any of the locations listed on Exhibit B or in any written
notice to LaSalle pursuant to paragraph 13(c) hereof, except for the removal of
Inventory sold in the ordinary course of Borrowers' businesses as permitted
herein;
(f) all monies and other property obtained by Borrowers from
LaSalle pursuant to this Agreement will be used solely for business purposes of
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries;
(g) Borrowers shall, at the request of LaSalle, indicate on their
records concerning the Collateral a notation, in form satisfactory to LaSalle,
of the security interest of LaSalle hereunder, and Borrowers shall not maintain
duplicates or copies of such records at any address other than Borrowers'
principal places of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement;
provided, however, that Borrowers, in the ordinary course of their businesses,
may furnish copies of such records to their accountants, attorneys and other
agents or advisors as they may determine to be necessary or desirable in the
exercise of their commercially reasonable judgment;
(h) Borrowers shall file all required tax returns and pay all of
their taxes when due, including, without limitation, taxes imposed by federal,
state or municipal agencies, and shall cause any liens for taxes to be promptly
released; provided, that Borrowers shall have the right to contest the payment
of such taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as (i) the amount
so contested is shown on Borrowers' financial statements, (ii) the contesting of
any such payment does not give rise to a lien for taxes, (iii) upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers keep on deposit with LaSalle (such
deposit to be held without interest) an amount of money which, in the reasonable
judgment of LaSalle, is sufficient to pay such taxes and any interest or
penalties that may accrue thereon, and (iv) if Borrowers fail to prosecute such
contest with reasonable diligence, LaSalle may apply the money so deposited in
payment of such taxes. If Borrowers fail to pay any such taxes and in the
absence of any such contest by Borrowers, LaSalle may (but shall be under no
obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to
secure the release of any lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by LaSalle
shall constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall be payable by Borrowers to
LaSalle on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then
applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder;
(i) Borrowers shall not (i) incur, create, assume or suffer to
exist any indebtedness other than (A) indebtedness arising under this Agreement,
(B) unsecured indebtedness owing in the ordinary course of business to trade
suppliers, (C) any other indebtedness described on Schedule 13(q), (D) purchase
money security interests incurred to finance Capital Expenditures after the
Closing Date, and (E) indebtedness to any shareholder of Omni provided such
indebtedness is fully subordinated to the Liabilities on such terms and
conditions and by such documentation as is approved in writing by LaSalle in its
19
sole discretion; or (ii) assume, guarantee or endorse, or otherwise become
liable in connection with, the obligations of any Person, except by endorsement
of instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary
course of business;
(j) Neither Borrower shall enter into any merger or
consolidation, or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its assets; neither Borrower shall create any new Subsidiary or Affiliate or
issue any shares of, or warrants or other rights to receive or purchase any
shares of, any class of its stock except shares issued upon exercise of stock
options or upon the conversion of, or exchange for, subordinated indebtedness;
neither Borrower shall enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of
such Borrower's business;
(k) Borrower shall not (i) declare or pay any dividend or other
distribution (whether in cash or in kind) on, purchase, redeem or retire any
shares of any class of its stock (except dividends and distributions by Omni to
Rail), or make any payment on account of, or set apart assets for the
repurchase, redemption, defeasance or retirement of, any class of its stock; or
(ii) make any optional payment or prepayment on or redemption (including without
limitation by making payments to a sinking fund or analogous fund) or repurchase
of any indebtedness for borrowed money other than indebtedness pursuant to this
Agreement;
(l) Neither Borrower shall make any loans to, or investment in,
any Person, whether in cash, securities or other property of any kind, other
than investments that are direct obligations of the United States or other
overnight investment options offered by Bank;
(m) Neither Borrower shall amend its organizational documents or
change its fiscal year without LaSalle's prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(n) Borrowers shall maintain and keep in full force and effect
each of the financial covenants set forth below. The calculation and
determination of each such financial covenant, and all accounting terms
contained therein, shall be calculated and construed in accordance with GAAP,
applied on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements of Borrowers
delivered on or before the Closing Date:
(i) Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, shall maintain as of the
end of each month a Tangible Net Worth of not less than the sum
of (1) the "Base Tangible Net Worth" (as defined below), plus (2)
an aggregate amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the net
income after taxes of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, for each fiscal quarter ending subsequent to
the Closing Date less any payments made on the Subordinated Debt
during such quarter as authorized under paragraph 14(s)
(provided, however, that such aggregate amount shall not be
reduced by the amount of any net loss after taxes of Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for any fiscal
quarter). For purposes of this paragraph 14(n), the "Base
Tangible Net Worth" shall initially be equal to the Tangible Net
Worth of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as determined by
LaSalle on the basis of Borrower's interim financial statement
for the month ending January 31, 2000, minus $300,000. Upon
receipt of Borrowers' audited financial statement for the fiscal
year ending April 30, 2000, Base Tangible Net Worth will be
adjusted to be equal to the Tangible Net Worth of Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries as determined by LaSalle on the basis of such
audited statement, minus $300,000; and
(ii) Consolidated Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Commencing as
of the end of Borrowers' first fiscal quarter ending after the
Closing Date, Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated
basis, shall maintain as of each fiscal quarter for the twelve
(12) month period ending with such fiscal quarter, a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0.
(o) Borrowers shall reimburse LaSalle for all costs and expenses
including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees
(both in-house and outside counsel), incurred by LaSalle in connection with the
documentation and consummation of this transaction, including, without
limitation, Uniform Commercial Code and other public record searches, lien
filings, Federal Express or similar express or messenger delivery, appraisal
20
costs, surveys, title insurance and environmental audit or review costs.
Borrowers shall reimburse LaSalle for all legal expenses and reasonable
attorney's fees (both in-house and outside counsel) incurred by LaSalle in
connection with any amendments or modifications of this Agreement or the Other
Agreements or other transactions among Borrowers, or either of them, and
LaSalle, including without limitation, in seeking to collect, protect or enforce
any rights in or to the Collateral or incurred by LaSalle in seeking to collect
any Liabilities and to administer and enforce any of LaSalle's rights under this
Agreement. Borrowers shall also pay all normal service charges with respect to
accounts maintained by LaSalle for the benefit of Borrowers. Borrowers shall pay
to LaSalle all airfare, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by LaSalle for each examination performed at any time by or at
LaSalle's direction of Borrowers' books and records and Collateral and such
other matters as LaSalle shall deem appropriate in its commercially reasonable
judgment. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as
the Event of Default continues, Borrowers shall reimburse LaSalle for all costs
and expenses incurred by LaSalle including without limitation, legal expenses
and reasonable attorneys' fees (both in-house and outside counsel), appraisal
costs, surveys, title insurance, environmental audits or reviews, Uniform
Commercial Code or other public record searches, and lien filings. At any time
after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as the Event of Default
continues, Borrowers shall pay to LaSalle an examination fee of $600 per person
per day, plus costs and expenses, for each examination performed by or at
LaSalle's direction of Borrowers' books and records and Collateral and such
other matters as LaSalle shall deem appropriate in its commercially reasonable
judgment. In conjunction with the utilization of the Acquisition Facility,
Borrowers shall reimburse LaSalle for all costs and expenses incurred by LaSalle
including without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees
(both in-house and outside counsel), appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance,
environmental audits or reviews, Uniform Commercial Code or other public record
searches, and lien filings. All such fees, costs and expenses shall be paid upon
demand by LaSalle. All such costs, expenses and charges shall constitute
Revolving Loans hereunder, shall be payable by Borrowers to LaSalle on demand,
and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to
Revolving Loans hereunder;
(p) Neither Borrower shall make loans to the other Borrower or to
any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Neither Borrower shall enter
into or be a party to, or permit any Subsidiary to enter into or be a party to,
any transaction with the other Borrower or any of its own or the other
Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates except transactions which are in the
ordinary course of business, are consistent with past practices of such
Borrower, are necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business,
are entered into for fair consideration and are on terms no less favorable to
such Borrower or its Subsidiary than are generally available from unaffiliated
third parties;
(q) Borrowers shall promptly advise LaSalle in writing of any
Material Adverse Effect or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
(r) With respect to Environmental Laws and Hazardous Materials:
(i) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their
expense, a system to assure and monitor their compliance with all
Environmental Laws in all of their operations. Copies of all
environmental surveys, audits, assessments, feasibility studies
and results of remedial investigations shall be promptly
furnished by Borrowers to LaSalle upon request. Borrowers shall
take prompt and appropriate action to respond to any
non-compliance with any of the Environmental Laws;
(ii) Borrowers shall give written notice to LaSalle
immediately upon either Borrower's receipt of any notice of, or
either Borrower's otherwise obtaining knowledge of, (i) the
occurrence of any event involving the release, spill or
discharge, threatened or actual, of any Hazardous Material
(unless the release, spill or discharge is fully remediated
within 30 days after the Borrower first obtains knowledge of it
and the Borrower has no liability or potential liability
resulting from the release, spill or discharge other than
remediation costs not exceeding $10,000) or (ii) any
investigation, proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claim,
citation or notice with respect to: (A) any non-compliance with
or violation of any Environmental Law by either Borrower; or (B)
the release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any
Hazardous Material except in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws; or (C) the generation, use, storage,
treatment, transportation, manufacture, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials except in compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws; or (D) any other environmental,
21
health or safety matter which affects either Borrower or its
business, operations or assets or any properties at which either
Borrower transported, stored or disposed of any Hazardous
Materials (unless, in any such case the investigation,
proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claim, citation or
notice is terminated, dismissed or withdrawn within 30 days and
Borrowers have no liability or potential liability resulting
therefrom in excess of $10,000); and
(iii) Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless LaSalle,
its Affiliates, Parents and Subsidiaries, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, insurers,
representatives, successors and assigns, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses
(including attorneys' fees and legal expenses) directly or
indirectly arising out of or attributable to any violation of any
Environmental Law or the use, generation, manufacture,
reproduction, storage, release, threatened release, spill,
discharge, disposal or presence of a Hazardous Material,
including the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup
or other remedial work with respect to any property of either
Borrower, and the preparation and implementation of any closure,
remedial or other required plans. All covenants and
indemnifications in this subsection 14(s) shall survive the
payment of the Liabilities and the termination or nonrenewal of
this Agreement;
(s) So long as this Agreement is in effect or any portion of the
Liabilities remain outstanding, Borrower shall not make any payments on any
indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Liabilities ("Subordinated
Debt") except as specifically authorized in this paragraph 14(s). Upon funding
of the initial Loans, Borrower may make principal payments on the Subordinated
Debt provided that the remaining balance of the Subordinated Debt after such
payments is no less than $750,000; Borrower would continue to have a minimum of
$400,000 in Excess Availability as provided in this Agreement after giving
effect to such payments; and such payments would not otherwise cause a Default
or Event of Default. Thereafter, Borrower will be permitted to make regularly
scheduled quarterly principal and interest payments on the Subordinated Debt in
amounts and at rates not exceeding those currently provided in the instruments
evidencing the Subordinated Debt, so long as:
(i) Borrower is in compliance with all covenants in this
Agreement, and Borrower will continue to be in compliance with
all covenants in this Agreement after giving effect to such
payments;
(ii) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, and no Default or Event of Default would be caused by
such payments; and
(iii) Borrower will, after giving effect to such payments,
have Excess Availability of at least $250,000 as determined by
LaSalle, and Borrower, on a pro forma basis as determined by
LaSalle, would have had Excess Availability averaging at least
$250,000 during the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding
such payments, assuming for such calculation that the payments
had been made at the beginning of such period.

the covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of such Obligor
under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements; provided, however, that
Borrower's failure to deliver monthly or annual financial statements under

be an Event of Default unless Borrower does not cure such failure within five
days after written notice of such failure from LaSalle;
(c) the making or furnishing by any Obligor to LaSalle of any
representation, warranty, certificate, schedule, report or other communication
within or in connection with this Agreement or the Other Agreements or in

(f) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for any Obligor, for
any of the Collateral or for any substantial part of any Obligor's assets or the
institution of any proceedings for the dissolution, or the full or partial
liquidation, of any Obligor which is a corporation or a partnership; provided,
however, that if such appointment or commencement of proceedings against such
Obligor is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default
unless such appointment is not revoked or such proceedings are not dismissed
within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such proceedings;
(g) the entry of any judgment or order in excess of $10,000
against any Obligor which remains unsatisfied or undischarged and in effect for
thirty (30) days after such entry without a stay of enforcement or execution;
(h) the occurrence of an event of default under, or the

personal property to secure the payment of all or any of the Liabilities, or the
death of any such Person;
(i) the occurrence of an event of default under any agreement or

Borrower's business, assets, prospects or financial condition, or the occurrence

24
Borrowers agree that any Event of Default with respect to either
Borrower shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to the other
Borrower, too. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 16 or
contained in any other provision of this Agreement or Other Agreements to the
contrary, in the event of the institution of any proceedings described in
paragraphs 16(e) or 16(f) hereof against either Borrower, LaSalle may cease to
make advances to Borrowers during the thirty (30) day grace periods provided in
paragraphs 16(e) and 16(f).
17. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
paragraphs 16(e) or 16(f) hereof, all of the Liabilities shall immediately and
automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand of any kind. Upon
the occurrence of any other Event of Default, all of the Liabilities may, at the
option of LaSalle, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be
declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, LaSalle may
exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the
Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in
lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any
of the Other Agreements and all of LaSalle's rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law. In particular, but
not by way of limitation of the foregoing, LaSalle may, without notice, demand
or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral
(in addition to Collateral of which it already has possession), wherever it may
be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and
may enter into any of Borrowers' premises where any of the Collateral may be,
and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral
until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of, and LaSalle shall have
the right to store the same at any of Borrowers' premises without cost to
LaSalle. At LaSalle's request, Borrowers shall, at Borrowers' expense, assemble
the Collateral and make it available to LaSalle at one or more places to be
designated by LaSalle and reasonably convenient to LaSalle and Borrowers.
Borrowers recognize that if either Borrower fails to perform, observe or
discharge any of its Liabilities under this Agreement or the Other Agreements,
no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to LaSalle, and Borrowers agree
that LaSalle shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in
any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Any notification
of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law will be deemed
reasonably and properly given if given at least ten (10) calendar days before
such disposition. Any proceeds of any disposition by LaSalle of any of the
Collateral may be applied by LaSalle to the payment of expenses in connection
with the Collateral including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable
attorneys' fees (both in-house and outside counsel) and any balance of such
proceeds may be applied by LaSalle toward the payment of such of the
Liabilities, and in such order of application, as LaSalle may from time to time
elect.
18. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to
defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle), protect, indemnify and
hold harmless LaSalle, each Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of LaSalle, and each
of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each
an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses
and disbursements of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the
disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding,
whether or not the Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party
(whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal,
state or local laws or regulations including, without limitation, securities,
environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in
equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any act, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto, the Collateral, the making and the management of
the Loans or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans; provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused solely by or resulting solely
from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To
the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence
may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
Borrowers shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or
expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on
demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at
the highest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder from the date
incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Borrowers, be added to the
25
Liabilities of Borrowers and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of
this paragraph 18 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other
Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.
19. NOTICES. All written notices and other written communications
with respect to this Agreement shall be sent by ordinary, certified or overnight
mail, by telecopy or delivered in person, and in the case of LaSalle shall be

provided in this paragraph.
20. CHOICE OF GOVERNING LAW AND CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the
Other Agreements are submitted by Borrowers to LaSalle for LaSalle's acceptance
or rejection as an offer by Borrowers to borrow monies from LaSalle now and from
time to time hereafter, and shall not be binding upon LaSalle or become
effective until accepted by LaSalle, in writing. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE,
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER AGREEMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF OREGON AS TO INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT,
VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT, AND IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE LEGALITY OF THE INTEREST RATE AND OTHER CHARGES. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under

prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or remaining provisions of this Agreement.
21. FORUM SELECTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. To induce LaSalle to

reasonable and absolute election, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER
OR RESPECT, ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER
AGREEMENTS OR THE COLLATERAL SHALL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN
CLACKAMAS OR MULTNOMAH COUNTIES, STATE OF OREGON. BORROWERS HEREBY CONSENT AND
SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN
SAID COUNTIES AND STATE. Borrowers waive personal service of any process and
consent that all such service of process may be made by certified mail, return
receipt requested, directed to Borrowers at the address indicated in LaSalle's
records; and service so made shall be complete upon receipt by Borrowers.
BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE
OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWERS, OR EITHER OF THEM, BY LASALLE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PARAGRAPH.
22. MODIFICATION AND BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the
Other Agreements may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement
in writing signed by Borrowers and LaSalle. Borrowers may not sell, assign or
transfer this Agreement, or the Other Agreements or any portion thereof
including, without limitation, Borrowers' rights, titles, interest, remedies,
powers or duties thereunder. Borrowers hereby consent to LaSalle's sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time and from time to time
hereafter, of this Agreement, or the Other Agreements, or of any portion
thereof, or participations therein including, without limitation, LaSalle's
rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers and/or duties thereunder. Borrowers
agree that they shall execute and deliver such documents as LaSalle may request,
including amendments to this Agreement, in connection with any such sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition.
23. HEADINGS OF SUBDIVISIONS. The headings of subdivisions in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
24. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its
appointment of LaSalle as its attorney and agent-in-fact for the purposes
specified in this Agreement is an appointment coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable until all of the Liabilities are paid in full and this Agreement
is terminated.
25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; OTHER WAIVERS.
(a) LASALLE, BORROWERS, AND EACH OF THEM, HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH PERTAINS DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS, THE LIABILITIES, THE
26
COLLATERAL, ANY ALLEGED TORTIOUS CONDUCT OF BORROWERS OR LASALLE OR WHICH, IN

presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment with respect to any promissory
note or other instrument, and further waive the benefit of all valuation,
appraisal and exemption laws.
(d) LaSalle's failure, at any time or times hereafter, to
exercise any of its rights or remedies (including the right to establish
reserves or adjust advance rates) or to require strict performance by Borrowers,
or either of them, of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Other
Agreements shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of LaSalle thereafter
to exercise such rights or remedies or to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by LaSalle of an Event of
Default under this Agreement or any default under any of the Other Agreements
shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this
Agreement or any other default under any of the Other Agreements, whether the
same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different
kind or character. No delay on the part of LaSalle in the exercise of any right
or remedy under this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. None of
the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of
Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements and no
Event of Default under this Agreement or default under any of the Other
Agreements shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by LaSalle unless
such suspension or waiver is in writing, signed by a duly authorized officer of
LaSalle and directed to Borrowers specifying such suspension or waiver.
26. ADVERTISING. Borrowers hereby authorize LaSalle to use Borrowers'
names and trade names, together with variants of such names and related

direct the manner of disbursement of loans; to execute and deliver certificates,
instructions, agreements and other documents; to furnish information; and to
take any and all other actions of every nature in connection with this Agreement
and the Other Agreements, the Loans, and the Liabilities. LaSalle may rely on
any such actions of Omni and its officers as fully as if such actions had been
taken directly by Rail, and LaSalle shall be fully protected in doing so.
30. CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a) LaSalle 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 confidential,

this Agreement or applicable law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict
disclosure of information that has been or is made public by Borrower or any
third party without breach of this paragraph 30 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 LaSalle on a non-confidential basis from a person other

Borrower to LaSalle or (iv) to prevent LaSalle 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
