2 COMMITMENTS. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance

2.1 REVOLVING COMMITMENT. Lender commits to make advances to Borrower
(each a "Revolving Advance") from time to time during the period commencing on
the Effective Date and ending at the close of business on the day preceding
December 1, 1999 (the "Ultimate Revolving Maturity Date"). (The from time to
time outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Advances from the Lender is
referred to herein as the "Revolving Loan".) The obligation of Borrower to
repay the Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the
order of Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the Revolving Commitment
(the "Revolving Note") satisfactory to Lender. Amounts applied to reduce the
Revolving Loan may be reborrowed as Revolving Advances as provided herein. At
any time after an Event of Default occurs that is not waived in writing by
Lender, Lender may cancel the Revolving Commitment as provided in Section 18.3.
2.1.1 LIMITATION ON REVOLVING ADVANCES. No Revolving Advance will
be made which would result in the Revolving Loan exceeding the Revolving
Commitment. Lender may, however, in its sole discretion make such
Revolving Advances, but shall not be deemed by doing so to have increased
the Revolving Commitment and shall not be obligated to make any such
Revolving Advances thereafter. No Revolving Advance will be made on or
after the Ultimate Revolving Maturity Date.
2.1.2 DEFINITION OF REVOLVING COMMITMENT. The "Revolving
Commitment" on any date shall be $6,500,000, or such lesser Dollar amount
to which it may have been reduced as provided herein.
2.2 TERM COMMITMENT. Lender commits to make a term loan to Borrower of
$12,000,000 (the "Term Commitment"). The Term Loan will be made in a single
advance on the Effective Date (the "Term Advance"). (The from time to time
outstanding principal amount of the Term Advance is referred to herein as the
"Term Loan".) The obligation of Borrower to repay the Term Loan shall be
evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of Lender satisfactory to
Lender (the "Term Note"). Amounts applied to reduce the Term Loan may not be
reborrowed.
3 INTEREST.
3.1 RATES.
3.1.1 REVOLVING LOAN. The Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a
per annum rate equal to the CBR minus 0.5%.
2
4
3.1.2 TERM LOAN. The Term Loan shall bear interest per annum rate
equal to the CBR plus the CBR Increment. The "CBR Increment" shall be
equal to 0.25%; provided, however, if Borrower enters into a Rate
Agreement acceptable to Lender, the CBR Increment shall be equal to 0.0%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may elect to convert the rate per
annum at which all or a portion of the Term Loan bears interest to the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The "Adjusted LIBOR Rate" shall be an annual rate of
two and one-half percent (2.50%) plus an interest rate equal to the
quotient (rounded to the nearest 0.001%) of the interest rate at which
Dollar deposits in immediately available funds and for a maturity nearest
in duration to the applicable Interest Period are offered or available in
the London Interbank Market for Eurodollars as of 11:00 a.m. (St. Louis
time) two Business Days before the applicable adjustment date, as reported
on Telerate Screen LIBO page 3750 (rounded to the nearest 1/16%). The
"Interest Period" shall, at Borrower's option, be no less than 30 days nor
more than 180 days.
3.2 RATE AFTER MATURITY. Borrower shall pay interest on a Loan after its
Maturity, and (at the option of Lender) upon all the Loans and other amounts
that are owing with respect thereto after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, at a per annum rate equal to CBR plus 3.0%.
3.3 TIME OF ACCRUAL. Interest shall accrue on all principal amounts
outstanding from and including the date when first outstanding to but excluding
the date when no longer outstanding. Amounts shall be deemed outstanding until
payments are applied thereto as provided herein.
3.4 COMPUTATION. Interest shall be computed for the actual days
elapsed over a year deemed to consist of 360 days. Interest rates that are
based on the CBR shall change simultaneously with any change in the CBR and
such rates shall be effective for the entire day on which such CBR change
becomes effective.
3.5 USURY. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in Section
3 or elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law. If,
but for this Section 3.5, Borrower would be deemed obligated to pay interest at
a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law, or if any of the Loan
Obligations is paid or becomes payable before its originally scheduled Maturity
and as a result Borrower has paid or would be obligated to pay interest at such
an excessive rate, then (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest to
the extent it exceeds the interest that would be payable at the maximum rate
permitted by Law; (ii) any such excess interest that has been paid by Borrower
shall be refunded; and (iii) the effective rate of interest shall be deemed
automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Law.
4 FEES.
4.1 REVOLVING COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower shall pay to lender a
"Revolving Commitment Fee" calculated by applying the daily equivalent of an
annual rate of 0.125% to the Unused Revolving Commitment on each day during the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Ultimate
Revolving Maturity Date. The "Unused Revolving
3
5
Commitment" on any day shall be the difference between (i) the amount of the
Revolving Commitment and (ii) the Revolving Loan as of the close of business on
such day. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly, in arrears,
commencing on the first day of October, 1996 and continuing on the first day of
each January, April, July and October thereafter and upon the Ultimate
Revolving Maturity Date.
4.2 CALCULATION OF FEES. All of the foregoing fees that are based on
an annual percentage shall be calculated on the basis of a year deemed to
consist of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed.
5 PAYMENTS.
5.1 SCHEDULED PAYMENTS ON REVOLVING LOAN.
5.1.1 INTEREST. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the
Revolving Loan monthly in arrears, beginning on the first day of the first
full calendar month following the Effective Date, and continuing on the
first day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the Ultimate Revolving
Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the Revolving Loan
after the Ultimate Revolving Maturity Date on demand.
5.1.2 PRINCIPAL.
5.1.2.1 DAILY PAYMENTS. Borrowers shall maintain one or
more lockboxes with Lender under its standard lockbox agreements (the
"Lockboxes"). Borrower shall also maintain one or more accounts

Lender will also establish on its books an account in the name of
Borrower designated as the "Cash Collateral Account". Borrower shall
direct all Account Debtors to remit payments on their Accounts to
one or another of the Lockboxes. If sales of Inventory are made for
cash, Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender or deposit into
the Cash Collateral Account the identical checks, cash or other
forms of payment which Borrower receives. All proceeds of Collateral
and all funds Borrower receives directly (other than Revolving
Advances) shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account.
Deposits in the Cash Collateral Account each day will be applied by
Lender to the Revolving Loan in accordance with Section 5.4 until the
Revolving Loan has been reduced to zero.
5.1.2.2 ULTIMATE REVOLVING MATURITY DATE. Borrower shall
repay the entire Revolving Loan on the Ultimate Revolving Maturity
Date.
5.2 SCHEDULED PAYMENTS ON TERM LOAN.

Borrower shall make a final installment equal to the remaining outstanding

5.3 PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.
5.3.1 VOLUNTARY.
5.3.1.1 REVOLVING LOAN. Borrower may reduce the Revolving
Commitment in whole multiples of $500,000 at any time and from time
to time, but only if (i) Borrower gives Lender written notice of
Borrower's intention to make such reduction at least one Business
Day prior to the effective date of the reduction, and (ii) Borrower
makes on the effective date of the reduction any payment on the
Revolving Loan required under Section 5.3.2.1 as a consequence of the
reduction. Any such reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be
permanent.
5.3.1.2 TERM LOAN. Borrower may wholly prepay the Term Loan
at any time, and may make partial prepayments on the Term Loan in
amounts equal to up to the next two following scheduled payments of
principal from time to time, but only if (i) Borrower gives Lender
written notice of Borrower's intention to make such prepayment at
least one Business Day prior to tendering the prepayment, and (ii)
Borrower pays any accrued interest on the amount prepaid at the time
of such prepayment. Each partial prepayment on the Term Loan shall
be applied to the next principal installment due hereunder.
5.3.1.3 PREMIUMS. No penalty or premium shall be payable
upon any reduction by Borrower in the Revolving Commitment. No
penalty or premium shall be payable upon any prepayment of the Term
Loan.
5.3.2 MANDATORY.
5
7
5.3.2.1 OVER-ADVANCES. If at any time the Revolving Loan
exceeds the Revolving Commitment, whether as a result of an optional
Revolving Advance by Lender as contemplated by Section 2.1.1 or
otherwise, Borrower shall on demand make a payment to Lender in the
amount of the excess. Each such prepayment shall be applied to
reduce the Revolving Loan.
5.3.2.2 PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF ASSETS. If Borrower sells any
of its assets in a single transaction or related series of
transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business,
Borrower shall make a prepayment on the Term Loan in the amount of
the gross proceeds therefrom less reasonable selling expenses and
the increment in federal, state and local income taxes, if any,
payable as a consequence of any taxable gain from such sale. If,
however, Borrower expends the net proceeds of any such sale of a
capital asset within 90 days of completion of the sale for
replacement of such asset by another asset of comparable type and
utility; and provided that such expenditure will not result in
Borrower exceeding the limits for Capital Expenditures set forth in
Section 17.1 of this Agreement, then Borrower shall not be required
to make such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the net
proceeds from Lorvic's sale of the Real Property Collateral situated
at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ("Lorvic Property"),
Dental's sale of the Real Property Collateral situated at ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Heights, Missouri ("Maryland Heights
Facility") and the redemption of Borrower's interest in that certain
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Airport Revenue Bond, Due 2019, in
the original principal amount of $100,000 and that certain Lower
Colorado River Authority Texas Revenue Bond, Due 2009, in the
original principal amount of $100,000 shall be applied to the
Revolving Loan. The Revolving Commitment shall be automatically and
permanently reduced by an amount equivalent to the net proceeds
arising from the sale of the Lorvic Property. Borrower shall be
permitted to finance the sale of its assets by accepting notes for
such Indebtedness; provided, however, that such financing from time
to time does not exceed $150,000 in the aggregate and that the
proceeds of such notes shall be paid to Lender if not expended to
replace the asset sold.
5.3.2.3 PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SECURITIES. If after the
Execution Date Borrower issues any equity or debt securities, or
warrants or options therefor ("Securities"), Borrower shall make a
prepayment on the Term Loan promptly after such sale in an amount
equal to the gross proceeds therefrom less reasonable brokers' and
underwriters' fees and commissions and other reasonable issuing
expenses ("Securities Proceeds"). Subject to Section 5.3.1.2,
Securities Proceeds not in excess of $2,000,000, in the aggregate,
resulting from the sale of Securities to Persons which are employees
of Borrower shall be applied to the next scheduled payments on the
Term Loan.
5.3.2.4 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE/CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS.
Immediately upon receipt by Borrower of any Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds, Borrower shall make a prepayment on the Revolving Loan in
the amount of such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. On the 90th day
after
6
8
receipt by Borrower of any Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower
shall make a prepayment on the Term Loan in the amount of such
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds that have not, within the 90 day
period following Borrower's receipt of such Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds, been either expended, or committed to be expended, by
Borrower for the purpose of rebuilding, repairing or replacing the
property for which such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were paid.
Except as otherwise provided above, each prepayment under this Section
5.3.2 that is required to be applied to reduce the Term Loan shall be
applied to the scheduled principal installments in the inverse order of
their due dates, except that the net proceeds from the sale of any Real
Property Collateral (not including the Lorvic Property and the Maryland
Heights Facility) shall be applied to the next scheduled principal
payments on the Term Loan, subject to Section 5.3.1.2. If application to
the Term Loan of any prepayment required under this Section 5.3.2 reduces
the Term Loan to zero, the remaining amount of such prepayment shall be
applied to reduce the Revolving Loan and the Revolving Commitment shall be
automatically and permanently reduced by an equivalent amount.
5.4 MANNER OF PAYMENTS AND TIMING OF APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.
5.4.1 PAYMENT REQUIREMENT. Unless expressly provided to the
contrary elsewhere herein, Borrower shall make each payment on the Loan
Obligations to Lender as required under the Loan Documents in Dollars at
the Applicable Lending Office on the date when due, without deduction,
set-off or counterclaim.
5.4.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments received by Lender
in immediately available funds at or before 2:00 p.m., St. Louis time, on
a Business Day will be applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the same
day. Such payments received on a day that is not a Business Day or after
2:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be applied to the relevant Loan
Obligation on the next Business Day.
5.4.3 INTEREST CALCULATION. Section notwithstanding, for purposes
of interest calculation only, any payment received by Lender (whether by
cash, check, draft, wire transfer or other instrument) shall be deemed to
have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day such
funds are deemed collected at or before 2:00 p.m., St. Louis time.
5.4.4 RETURNED CHECKS. If a payment is made by check, draft or
other instrument and the check, draft or other instrument is returned to
Lender unpaid, the application of the payment to the Loan Obligation will
be reversed and will be treated as never having been made.
5.5 DUE DATES NOT ON BUSINESS DAYS. If any payment required hereunder
becomes due on a date that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be
deemed automatically extended to the next Business Day.

6 BORROWING PROCEDURE AND LIMITS.
6.1 INITIAL ADVANCES.
6.1.1 REVOLVING ADVANCES. Lender will make the initial Revolving
Advance on the Effective Date as directed by Borrower in a written
direction delivered to Lender. The manner of disbursement shall be subject
to Lender's approval.
6.1.2 TERM ADVANCE. Lender will make the Term Advance on the
Effective Date as directed by Borrower in a written direction delivered to
Lender. The manner of disbursement shall be subject to Lender's approval.
6.2 SUBSEQUENT ADVANCES.
6.2.1 REVOLVING ADVANCES. Subsequent Revolving Advances will be
made only as follows:
6.2.1.1 ADVANCES TO CONTROLLED DISBURSEMENT ACCOUNT. Subject
to the limitations in Section 2.1.1, on each Business Day a Revolving
Advance will be made automatically by Lender to fund the total
Dollar amount of checks and drafts presented to Lender for payment
from the Controlled Disbursement Account.
6.2.1.2 REVOLVING ADVANCE REQUESTS BY BORROWER. Subject to
the limitations in Section 2.1.1, Borrower may also request a
Revolving Advance by submitting a Revolving Advance Request to
Lender. Only a written request (which may be mailed, personally
delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 19.1) from a
Borrowing Officer to Lender that specifies the amount of the
Revolving Advance to be made and the date the proceeds of the
Revolving Advance are requested to be made available to Borrower
(the "Revolving Advance Date") shall be treated as a "Revolving
Advance Request". A Revolving Advance Request received by Lender
on a day that is not a Business Day or that is received by Lender
after 2:00 p.m., St. Louis time, on a Business Day shall be treated
as having been received by Lender at 2:00 p.m., St. Louis time, on
the next Business Day. A Revolving Advance Request shall become
irrevocable a 2:00 p.m., St. Louis time, on the Revolving Advance
Date unless it is sooner revoked by a Borrowing Officer. Lender
shall incur no liability to Borrower for treating any such request
as a Revolving Advance Request or for treating a revocation thereof
as such if Lender believes in good faith that the Person making the
request or revocation is a Borrowing Officer. Lender shall also
incur no liability to Borrower for failing to treat any such request
as Revolving Advance Request or for treating a revocation thereof
as such if Lender believes in good faith that the Person making the
request or revocation is not a Borrowing Officer. Each Revolving
Advance Request by a borrowing officer shall constitute a
certification by Borrower (i) no Default has occurred that is
continuing and not waived in writing by Lender, (ii) all
representations and warranties of Borrower in this Agreement are
then true,
8
10
and will be true on the Revolving Advance Date, as if then
made, and (iii) all conditions precedent hereunder to the making of
the requested Revolving Advance have been satisfied. Provided that
all conditions precedent herein to a requested Revolving Advance
have been satisfied, Lender will make the amount of such requested
Revolving Advance available to Borrower on the Revolving Advance
Date in immediately available funds in Dollars at the Applicable
Lending Office.
6.2.1.3. LENDER'S RIGHT TO MAKE OTHER REVOLVING ADVANCES.
Lender shall have the right to make Revolving Advances at any time
and from time to time to cause timely payment of any of the Loan
Obligations. Lender will give notice to Borrower after making any
such Revolving Advance.
7 APPORTIONMENT, APPLICATION AND REVERSAL OF PAYMENTS. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall determine in its
discretion the order and manner in which proceeds and other payments that Lender
receives are applied to the Loan Obligations, and Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of any payment or proceeds. 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 Loan Obligations.
8 INDEMNITY FOR RETURNED PAYMENTS. If after receipt of any payment
of, or proceeds applied to the payment of, all or any part of the Loan
Obligations, Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or
proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable
as a preference, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for
any other reason, then the Loan Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and this Agreement shall continue in full force and
Borrower 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 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding
any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance upon any such
payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall
be without prejudice to Lender's rights under this Agreement and shall be
deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds
having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall
survive termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the any letters of
credit issued by Lender for the account of Borrower and the payment and
satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations.
9 CAPITAL ADEQUACY REIMBURSEMENT. If there is any change of Law after the
Execution Date regarding the capital that financial institutions
in a class that includes Lender are required to maintain and which has the
effect of reducing the rate of return on, or increasing the cost of
maintaining, Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder,
then Lender may from time to time demand, and Borrower shall pay to Lender
within sixty days after each demand, such additional amount as will compensate
Lender for such reduction or increase. If Lender claims compensation under
this Section, Lender shall furnish a certificate to Borrower that states the
additional amount to be paid to it hereunder and includes a description of the
method used by Lender in calculating such amount. Borrower shall have the
burden of proving that any such certificate is not correct. If there is any
change of Law after the Execution Date regarding the capital that financial
institutions in a class that includes
9
11
Lender are required to maintain and which has the effect of increasing the
rate of return on, or decreasing the cost of maintaining, Lender's capital
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower may from time to
time demand, and Lender shall pay to Borrower within sixty days after each
demand, such additional amount as will compensate Borrower for such reduction or
increase. In addition, if Borrower shall fully satisfy the Loan Obligations
within sixty days of receiving the notice referred to above, Lender shall waive
the additional amount payable.

Borrower shall on the Execution Date execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to Lender the following documents:

appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any
adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under

diligently pursue such right and report to Lender on all further developments
with respect thereto. Borrower shall remit directly to Lender, for application
to the Revolving Loan in such order as Lender determines, all amounts received
by Borrower as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to the Acquisition
Agreement. If Borrower fails after Lender's demand to pursue diligently any
right under the Acquisition Agreement, or if an Event of Default exists, then
Lender may directly enforce such right in its own or Borrower's name and may
enter into such
33
35
settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as Lender determines.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall at all times remain liable to
observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under the Acquisition
Agreement, and Lender's exercise of any of its rights with respect to the
Collateral shall not release Borrower from any of such duties or obligations.
Lender shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill any of Borrower's duties or
obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to make any payment thereunder,
or to make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment or property
received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party
thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect

waived by Borrower), to set off and apply against the Loan Obligations any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held, or any other Indebtedness at any time owing by
Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, irrespective of
whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
the Notes
43
45
and although such Loan Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Lender may otherwise have.
18.3.4 NOTICE TO ACCOUNT DEBTORS. During the continuance of any
Default that is not waived in writing by Lender and after the occurrence
of any Event of Default that is not waived in writing by Lender, Lender
may, without prior notice to Borrower, notify any or all Account Debtors
that the Accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a
security interest therein, and Bank may direct, or Borrower, at Bank's
request, shall direct, any or all Account Debtors to make all payments
upon the Accounts directly to Bank. Bank shall furnish Borrower with a
copy of any such notice issued by Bank promptly after notifying such
Account Debtors.
18.3.5 ENTRY UPON PREMISES AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Upon an
Event of Default and acceleration of the Loan Obligations as provided
herein, and at any time thereafter: Lender may (i) enter upon the
premises leased or owned by Borrower where Collateral is located (or is
believed to be located) without any obligation to pay rent to Borrower, or
any other place or places where Collateral is believed to be located, (ii)
render Collateral usable or saleable, (iii) remove Collateral therefrom to
the premises of Lender or any agent of Lender for such time as Lender may
desire in order effectively to collect or liquidate Collateral; (iv) take
possession of, and make copies and abstracts of, Borrower's original books
and records, obtain access to Borrower's data processing equipment,
computer hardware and software relating to any of the Collateral and use
all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner
Lender deems appropriate in connection with the exercise of Lender's
rights; and (v) notify postal authorities to change the address for
delivery of Borrower's mail to an address designated by Lender and to
receive, open and process all mail addressed to Borrower.
18.3.6 SECURED PARTY RIGHTS. Upon an Event of Default and
acceleration of the Loan Obligations as provided herein, and at any time
and from time to time thereafter:
18.3.6.1 Lender may exercise any or all of its rights under
the Security Documents, as a secured party under the UCC and any
other applicable Law; and
18.3.6.2 Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral
at public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner (ten
days notice of a public or private sale being deemed and agreed by
Borrower to be reasonable), which sale Lender may postpone from time
to time by announcement at the time and place of sale stated in the
notice of sale or by announcement at any adjourned sale without
being required to give a new notice of sale, all as Lender deems
advisable, for cash or credit; provided, however, that Lender may
become the purchaser at any such sale if permissible under
applicable Law and Lender may, in lieu of actual payment of the
purchase price, offset the amount thereof against Borrower's
obligations owing to Lender; and Borrower agrees that
44
46
Lender has no obligation to preserve rights to Collateral against
prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any
Person;
In connection with the advertising for sale, selling or otherwise
realizing upon any of the Collateral securing the obligations of Borrower
to Lender, Lender may use and is hereby granted a license to use, without
charge or liability to Lender therefor, any of Borrower's labels, trade
names, trademarks, trade secrets, service marks, patents, patent
applications, licenses, certificates of authority, advertising materials,
or any of Borrower's other properties or interests in properties of
similar nature, to the extent that such use thereof is not prohibited by
agreements under which Borrower has rights therein, and all of Borrower's
rights under license, franchise and similar agreements shall inure to
Lender's benefit.
18.3.7 MISCELLANEOUS. After the occurrence of an Event of Default
and at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any other rights and
remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or otherwise
available to Lender at law or in equity.
18.3.8 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any funds received by Lender with
respect to the Loan Obligations after any acceleration, including but not
limited to proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows: (i)
first, to reimburse Lender for any amounts due to Lender under Sections
19.8 and 19.9; (ii) second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid fees due
hereunder and all other amounts due hereunder (other than the Loans and
interest accrued thereon); (iii) third, to the payment of interest accrued
on the Loans; (iv) fourth, to the payment of the Loans, in such order as
Lender determines in its sole discretion; and (v) fifth, to the payment of
the other Loan Obligations. Any remaining amounts shall be paid to
Borrower or such other Persons as shall be legally entitled thereto.
18.4 BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower shall, if Lender so requests, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Lender at a place or places to be designated by Lender, reasonably
convenient to Borrower.
18.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; WAIVER. Lender shall not be liable to
Borrower as a result of any commercially reasonable possession, repossession,
collection or sale by Lender of Collateral; and Borrower hereby waives all
rights of redemption from any such sale and the benefit of all valuation,
appraisal and exemption laws. If Lender seeks to take possession of any of the
Collateral by replevin or other court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives (i) the posting of any bonds, surety and security relating thereto
required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such
possession, (ii) any demand for possession of the Collateral prior to the
commencement of any suit or action to recover possession thereof, (iii) any
requirement that Lender retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral
until after trial or final judgment, and (iv) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by
Lender of Lender's right to repossess the Collateral without judicial process
or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.
Lender shall have no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or to
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.
45
47
18.6 NOTICE. Any notice of intended action required to be given by
Lender, if given as provided in Section 19.1 at least 10 days prior to such
proposed action, shall be effective and constitute reasonable and fair notice
to Borrower.
19 MISCELLANEOUS.
19.1 NOTICES. All notices, consents, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been
given or made when delivered in person to those Persons listed on the signature
pages hereof or when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or,
in the case of telegraphic notice, or the overnight courier services, when
delivered to the telegraph company or overnight courier service, or in the case
of telex or telecopy notice, when sent, verification received, in each case
addressed as set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address as
either party may designate by notice to the other in accordance with the terms
of this paragraph. No notice given to or demand made on Borrower by Lender in
any instance shall entitle Borrower to notice or demand in any other instance.
19.2 RIGHT TO CURE. Lender may from time to time, in its sole discretion
(but shall have no obligation to do so), for Borrower's account and at
Borrower's expense, pay (or make a Revolving Advance to pay) any amount or do
any act required of Borrower hereunder or requested by Lender to preserve,
protect, maintain or enforce the Loan Obligations, the Collateral or Lender's
Security Interests thereon, and which Borrower fails to pay or do, including,
without limitation, payment of any judgment against Borrower, insurance
premium, taxes or assessments, warehouse charge, finishing or processing
charge, landlord's claim, and any other Security Interest upon or with respect
to the Collateral. All payments that Lender makes pursuant to this Section and
all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Lender pays or incurs in connection
with any action taken by it hereunder shall be a part of the Loan Obligations,
the repayment of which shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payment made or
other action taken by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue
Lender's other rights and remedies with respect thereto.
19.3 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS. No amendment to, waiver of, or
departure from full compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or of any
of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower herefrom
or therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
authorized officers of Borrower and the Lender; provided, however, that any
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay by
Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender
of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other exercise
thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
19.4 RIGHTS NOT EXCLUSIVE. Every right granted to Lender hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or allowed to it at law or in equity shall be
deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.
46
48
19.5 SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS. All covenants and agreements made herein
and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents and the making of every
Advance. All agreements, obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this
Agreement concerning the payment of money to Lender, including but not limited
to Borrower's obligations under Sections 19.8 and 19.9, but excluding the
obligation to repay the Loans and interest accrued thereon, shall survive the
repayment in full of the Loans and interest accrued thereon, the return of the
Notes to Borrower and the termination of the Commitments. Subject to Section 8
of this Agreement, upon the payment in full of all Loan Obligations and the
termination of the Commitments, all Security Documents shall be deemed
terminated and shall be released of record by Lender.
19.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and all future holders of the Notes
and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not
assign, delegate or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. With respect to
Borrower's successors and assigns, such successors and assigns shall include,
without limitation, any receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for
Borrower. Lender shall have the right to assign its rights and to delegate its
obligations under the Loan Documents to any affiliate of such Lender that
assumes its obligations to make Loans to Borrower subject to the terms and
conditions herein, but such assignment and delegation should not relieve the
assigning and delegating Lender from its obligations hereunder. Lender shall
have the right to assign its rights under the Loan Documents to any Federal
Reserve Bank, but without delegation of such Lender's obligations thereunder.
19.7 PARTICIPATIONS. Lender may in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking business and in accordance with applicable law grant participations to
one or more banks or other financial institutions in any of the Loans. For
this purpose, the Lender may disclose to a potential or actual participant any
information supplied to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower. Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that every such participant has the same right of
set-off as does Lender under Section 18.3.3; provided, however, that all amounts
received by any such participant through the exercise of the right of set-off
in excess of its share of Loans as a participant shall be remitted to Lender.
19.8 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for
its costs and expenses incurred in connection with Lender's due diligence
review, the negotiation and preparation of the Commitment Letter and the Loan
Documents, and the perfection of Lender's liens and security interests in the
Collateral, including but not limited to mortgagee's title insurance premiums,
recording and filing fees, appraisal fees, environmental consultant fees,
Lender's customary fees for honoring drawings on letters of credit, and all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all actual attorney's expenses advanced
(including but not limited to expenses for lien searches and filing charges,
facsimile and other electronic data transmissions, long-distance telephone
charges, courier and delivery charges and photocopying charges).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay the first $25,000 of all such
costs and expenses, Lender shall pay the next $10,000 and Borrower and Lender
shall share equally all such costs thereafter. Further, if at any time or times
hereafter Lender engages legal counsel for advice or other representation to
enforce the rights of Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or in
connection with amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or subsequent closing
relating to any of the Loan Documents at the request
47
49
of Borrower or as a consequence of a Default or Event or Default, then all
reasonable fees and all expenses advanced of such legal counsel and all
litigation costs, including costs incurred as a consequence of any proceedings
involving Borrower under the federal bankruptcy Code (if any) shall constitute
a part of the Loan Obligations and be payable by Borrower on demand.
19.9 INDEMNITY. Borrower shall pay, indemnify and hold harmless Lender
and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (the
"Indemnified Parties") for, from and against, and promptly to reimburse the
Indemnified Parties for, any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses,
costs and expenses (including, without limitations, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses and amounts paid in settlement) (the "Indemnified Liabilities")
incurred, paid or sustained by the Indemnified Parties in connection with,
arising out of, based upon or otherwise involving or resulting from any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or other
proceeding by, against or otherwise involving the Indemnified Parties and in
any way dealing with, relating to or otherwise involving this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby
(each a "Triggering Event"); provided, however, that Borrower shall have no
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified parties hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties. Borrower shall pay, indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnified Parties for, from and against, and promptly
reimburse the Indemnified Parties for, any and all claims, damages,
liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitations,
reasonable attorneys' and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and
laboratory fees, removal, remedial, response and corrective action costs, and
amounts paid in settlement) incurred, paid or sustained by the Indemnified
Parties as a result of the manufacture, storage, transportation, release or
disposal of any Hazardous Waste on, from, over or affecting any of the
Collateral or any of the assets, properties, or operations of any Covered
Person or any predecessor in interest, directly or indirectly. Borrower shall
pay, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties for, from and against,
and shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Parties for, any and all claims,
damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without
limitations, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and amounts paid in
settlement) incurred, paid or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, arising out
of or relating to the Acquisition Agreement or Lender's enforcement of any of
its rights with respect thereto. The obligations of Borrower under this
Section 19.9 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the expiration of
letters of credit issued by Lender for the account of Borrower, the payment and
satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations, and the release of the Collateral.
To the extent that any of the indemnities set forth in this Section may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower
shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable
law.
19.10 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. If Borrower, at the end of its
Fiscal Year and with the concurrence of its independent certified public
accountants, changes the method of valuing the Inventory of Borrower, or if any
other changes in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of
any of the Financial Statements are required by or result from the promulgation
of principles, rules, regulations, guidelines, pronouncements or opinions by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (or successors thereto or bodies with similar functions),
and any of such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of, or
affect the results of such calculation of, any of the financial covenants,
standards or terms found herein, then the parties hereto agree
48
50
to enter into and diligently pursue negotiations in order to amend such
financial covenants, standards or terms so as to equitably reflect such
changes, with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial
condition and results of operations of Borrower shall be the same after such
changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that until
such changes are made, all financial covenants herein and all the provisions
hereof which contemplate financial calculation hereunder shall remain in full
force and effect.
19.11 LOAN RECORDS. The date and amount of all Advances to Borrower and
payments of amounts due from Borrower under the Loan Documents will be recorded
in the records that Lender normally maintains for such types of transactions.
The failure to record, or any error in recording, any of the foregoing shall
not, however, affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans and other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the burden of
proving that Lender's records are not correct. Borrower agrees that Lender's
books and records showing the Loan Obligations and the transactions pursuant to
this Agreement shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising
therefrom, and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof, irrespective of
whether any Loan Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument. Lender will provide to Borrower a monthly statement of Advances,
payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement
shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an account stated
(except for reversals and reapplications of payments as provided in Sections 7
and 8 and corrections of errors discovered by Lender), unless Borrower notifies
Lender in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement
is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by
Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be
considered to be disputed by Borrower.
19.12 DRAFTING/NEGOTIATION. Borrower and Lender represent one to the
other that in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement they have been
represented by and have relied upon the advice of counsel of their choice.
Borrower and Lender affirm that their counsel have both had substantial roles
in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and, therefore, this
Agreement shall be deemed drafted by both Borrower and Lender, and the rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafter shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
19.13 OTHER SECURITY AND GUARANTIES. Lender may, without notice or demand
and without affecting Borrower's obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a)
take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral) for the
payment of all or any part of the Loan Obligations and exchange, enforce and
release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any
endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Loan Obligations
and release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has
given any Security Interest in any other collateral as security for the payment
of all or any part of the Loan Obligations, or any other Person in any way
obligated to pay all or any part of the Loan Obligations.
19.14 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited,
unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or lack of authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction unless the ineffectiveness of such
provision would result in
49
51
such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions
contemplated hereby to be unreasonable.
19.15 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto
on any number of separate counterparts, and all such counterparts taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be
necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than
one counterpart signed by the party to be charged.
19.16 GOVERNING LAW; NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and
no other Person shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or
because of the existence of, this Agreement.
19.17 CHOICE OF FORUM. SUBJECT ONLY TO THE EXCEPTION IN THE NEXT
SENTENCE, BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
FEDERAL COURT OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI AND THE STATE COURTS OF
MISSOURI LOCATED IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION
BASED ON VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION INSTITUTED
THEREIN, AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LENDER
AND BORROWER OR THE CONDUCT OF EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT
OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE HEARD ONLY IN THE COURTS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN ANY COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION LENDER DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON
THE COLLATERAL, REAL ESTATE OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE LOAN OBLIGATIONS, AND (2)
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS
DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT
LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.
19.18 SERVICE OF PROCESS. 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 (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT ITS
ADDRESS SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO
DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS, OR, AT LENDER'S OPTION, BY SERVICE UPON ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ WHICH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS AS BORROWER'S AGENT FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ACCEPTING SERVICE OF PROCESS WITHIN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. LENDER
SHALL PROMPTLY FORWARD BY REGISTERED MAIL ANY PROCESS SO SERVED UPON SAID AGENT
TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF. BORROWER
HEREBY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS AS AFORESAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW.
50
52
19.19 CAPTIONS. Section captions and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
19.20 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All of the terms of the other Loan
Documents are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement by this
reference.
19.21 STATUTORY NOTICE. The following notice is given pursuant to Section
432.045 of the Missouri Revised Statutes; nothing contained in such notice
shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of the Loan Documents:
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO
FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR
RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER) AND US
(CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE
REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE
COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE
MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.

ATTACHMENT TO DOCUMENTS AND REQUIREMENTS LIST
OPINION SPECIFICATION
Legal opinion of corporate and local counsel to Borrower must be on firm
letterhead and together meet these requirements:
1. Address to The Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
2. Refer to Loan Agreement and use its definitions.
3. Give opinions on the subjects covered in all of the following example
paragraphs:
a. Borrowers are corporations duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the Laws of the State of their organization
and are duly qualified and authorized to do business and are in
good standing as foreign corporation in all states where the
nature and extent of the business transacted by them or the
ownership of their assets makes such qualification necessary,
except where the failure to so qualify will not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
b. Each Borrower has all requisite corporate power, authority and
legal capacity and legal rights (a) to own, lease and operate
its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now
being conducted and (b) to execute, deliver and perform the
terms of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.
c. All action on the part of each Borrower requisite for the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party has been duly taken.
d. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by
each Borrower will not (a) violate, be in conflict with, result
in the breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of
time, or both) a default under (i) Borrowers' Charter Documents,
or (ii) any franchise, agreement, indenture, or other instrument
to which a Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its
property is bound or affected or (iii) any Law or other legal
requirement applicable to a Borrower, or (b) result in the
creation or imposition of a Security Interest of any nature
whatsoever upon Borrowers' property or assets other than
pursuant to the Loan Documents.
e. Each Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and each such Loan Document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding
xi
77
obligation of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower
in accordance with its terms.
f. Each Person who signed any Loan Document as an officer of a
Borrower is duly authorized on behalf of a Borrower to execute,
deliver and perform such document on behalf of such Borrower and
is duly authorized to perform its obligations thereunder and to
incur the obligations and make the representations, warranties and
covenants made by it in such Loan Document.
g. Each Borrower has all certificates of authority, licenses,
permits, qualifications and documentation to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted, and is in compliance with all Laws applicable to the
conduct of its business.
h. No consent, approval or other authorization of or by, or
registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other
Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party that has not already been obtained and a copy thereof
delivered to Lender.
i. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or
threatened against any Borrower which might adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, the
ability of each Borrower to perform its obligations thereunder or
which might adversely affect the business, operations, revenues,
financial condition, property or business prospects of any
Borrower.
j. The use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate Regulations
G, T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.
k. The Security Documents will create in favor of Lender, a legal,
valid, and enforceable Security Interest in the personal property
described therein as security for the Loan Obligations. The
Financing Statements are in proper form for recording or filing, as
the case may be, in the public offices identified on Exhibit A to
this letter and when the Financing Statements are filed in those
public offices, the Security Interests of Lender or Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, in the personal property described
therein will be perfected to the extent such Security Interests
may be perfected by filing. To our best knowledge, Borrowers have
no places of business other than as disclosed in the Loan
Agreement.
xii
78
l. The Missouri Deed of Trust and the Texas Deed of Trust are in proper
form for recording and contains the terms and provisions necessary to
enable Lender, following a default under such Deed of Trust, to
exercise all of the remedies which are customarily available to a real
estate lienholder under the Laws of the States of Missouri and Texas.
Assuming the proper recording of the Deed of Trust, the Deed of Trust
will be a legal, valid and enforceable mortgage Security Interest on
the Real Property Collateral in favor of Lender, to secure all of the
Loan Obligations.
m. Upon delivery to Lender of certificates identified in each Stock Pledge
Agreement, Lender will have a valid, perfected and first priority
security interest in and to all authorized and issued shares of each
Borrower to secure payment of all of the Loan Obligations. All of the
shares of the pledged stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
n. Neither the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Rents nor the Financing
Statements require the payment of any stamp tax or intangible tax or any
recording, filing, privilege or other similar tax, fee or charge in
connection with the execution, delivery, recordation or enforcement
thereof, or any other state or local tax, fee or charge, except for
customary recording fees in connection with the indebtedness or
transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents (other than income,
franchise, excess profits or capital stock taxes).
o. If a court were to find that the Loan Documents are governed by, or are
to be construed or interpreted in accordance with, the Laws of the
State of Texas or California, the provisions of the Loan Documents
regarding interest required to be paid by Borrower will not violate any
Law of the State of Texas or California that limits the amount of
interest that may be charged or collected on a loan of money or the
method by which such interest is computed.
p. A Texas/California court of competent jurisdiction with the issues
properly before it will honor the choice of law provisions included
in the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents except that a
Texas/California court will apply Missouri law to questions regarding
perfection by filing in the State of Texas/California of the Security
Interest granted to Lender, in Personal Property Collateral pursuant to
the Security Documents and the exercise in Texas/California of Bank's
remedies thereunder.
xiii
79
4. Add appropriate exceptions limitations, all of which must be acceptable
to Lender.
5. Signature by a partner of the firm in his individual name or in the
name of the firm.

C. Provide that there shall be no recourse against Lender for the
payment of premiums or commissions or (if such policies or binders provide for
the payment thereof) additional premiums or assessments;
D. Provide that in respect of the respective interests of Lender
in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
inaction of Borrower, any subsidiary or any third party and shall insure Lender
for the benefit of the Lenders regardless of and any losses shall be payable
notwithstanding:
1. Any act or negligence, including any breach of any
condition, declaration or warranty contained in any such policy of
insurance by Borrower, any subsidiary or any third party;

4. Any change in the title to or ownership of all or any
portion of the Property.

contingent and/or excess liability insurance with respect to its respective
interest as such in the Property, and shall expressly provide that all
provisions thereof, except the limits of liability (which shall be applicable
to all insureds as a group) and liability for premiums (which shall be solely a
liability of Borrower) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a
separate policy covering such insured;

reason whatsoever, or the same is allowed to lapse or expire, or there be any
reduction in amount, or any material change is made in the coverage, such
