CREDIT RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT
This CREDIT RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT ( the "AGREEMENT") is entered into by
and between PACCAR Financial Corp., a Washington corporation ("PFC"),
and OTR Express, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("OTR"). This AGREEMENT is
entered into with respect to the following agreed upon facts:
RECITALS
A. PFC has from time to time extended credit accommodations to OTR as
evidenced by the documents and instruments set forth on Exhibit "A"
attached hereto (collectively, the "EXISTING DOCUMENTS"). The
credit accommodations consist of thirty-three (33) Security
Agreement Retail Installment Contracts (collectively, the
"CONTRACTS") with an aggregate payoff of $6,840,363.78 (Six Million
Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Three Hundred Sixty Three and 78/100
Dollars) as of October 1, 2000 ("EXISTING DEBT").
B. As of October 1, 2000, OTR was in violation of certain terms of the
CONTRACTS, including but not limited to failure to pay monthly
installment payments when due. By reason of the foregoing default,
all sums due PFC under the CONTRACTS described in Recital A are now
due and owing.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing default, OTR has requested that PFC:
(i) forebear from exercising its rights and remedies against OTR;
and (ii) restructure the terms of the CONTRACTS described in Recital
A.
D. PFC, without waiving any rights it may have, is willing to accede to
OTR's request to restructure the EXISTING DEBT, on the terms
described in this AGREEMENT and the documents executed in connection
herewith (collectively, the "NEW LOAN DOCUMENTS"). The NEW LOAN
DOCUMENTS and the EXISTING DOCUMENTS delineate all of the terms and
conditions of the relationship between the parties hereto and are
collectively referred to herein as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS."
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing agreed upon facts and
recitals, which are incorporated herein, and the terms and conditions
hereof, the parties agree as follows:
1.0 PARTIES
1.1 OTR is a corporation organized and existing under and
by virtue of the laws of the State of Kansas.
1.2 PFC is a secured equipment lender organized and
existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State
of Washington.
2.0 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS; CLAIMS
2.1 OTR acknowledges that it is indebted to PFC for all of
the following debts (collectively, the "INDEBTEDNESS"):
(i) repayment of the EXISTING DEBT described in Recital
A hereof; (ii) all costs, fees (including, without
limitation, reasonable and customary attorneys' fees)
and expenses incurred by PFC under or in connection with
the LOAN DOCUMENTS, whether now existing or hereafter
incurred by PFC; and (iii) all accrued and accruing
interest and late charges on the foregoing sums.
2.2 OTR acknowledges that it has no defense, counterclaim,
offset, cross-complaint, claim or demand of any kind or
nature whatsoever (collectively, "CLAIMS") that can be
asserted to reduce or eliminate all or any part of their
liability to repay the INDEBTEDNESS which is now due and
owing, or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any
kind or nature from PFC. To the extent that any such
CLAIM exists, it is fully, forever and irrevocably
released as provided in Section 7.0 hereof.
3.0 RESTRUCTURE OF THE INDEBTEDNESS. Provided no additional
default or event of default occurs under the EXISTING
DOCUMENTS before the CLOSING DATE and all conditions precedent
to the CLOSING are satisfied (as the terms CLOSING DATE and
CLOSING are defined in Section 6.0 hereof), including, without
limitation, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.0
hereof), unless waived by PFC in its sole and absolute
discretion, PFC agrees to: (i) forebear from exercising (but
is not waiving) any of its rights or remedies arising by
virtue of the existing defaults until an EVENT OF DEFAULT
occurs (other than existing defaults), and (ii) restructure
the INDEBTEDNESS as follows:
3.1 Restructuring of CONTRACTS.
3.1.1 Payment Modification.
a. OTR will make regular monthly interest
payments, at the contractual rate of interest,
on all INDEBTEDNESS during the months of
October and November 2000; and January,
February, March 2001.
b. OTR will make principal payments relating to
the INDEBTEDNESS during the months of October
and November 2000; and January, February, March
2001, as follows:
October 2000 $53,385
November 2000 $50,370
January 2001 $50,516
February 2001 $61,731

months; and will be reduced on a
pro-rata basis as equipment is returned to PFC
for liquidation.
c. OTR will be required to make additional
principal payments to PFC, Associates,
International Finance and Mercedes-Benz Credit
Corporation when OTR's availability under its
working capital line with HSBC exceeds $700,000
as an average for any period of ten business
days. Such payment would be paid by OTR within
10 days of the corresponding month end. OTR
will pay an amount equal to 100% of the
availability on said working capital line in
excess of $700,000. PFC and the other lenders
will share in the additional principal payment
on a pro rata basis, in accordance with any
agreement made by and between PFC and the other
lenders.
d. No principal or interest payment will be due
during the month of December 2000 in
consideration of the cash flow requirements
associated with baseplate renewal.

April 2001 and continue with those payments
until the principal, interest, fees and other
charges are paid in full at the contractual

trucks per month during the months of January,
February and March 2001. PFC may exercise said
option by providing written notice to OTR.
3.1.3 Deficiency.
a. In the event a truck is sold for less
than full payoff, a deficiency note will be
created of even date with the sale.
b. OTR will make monthly interest only

day of each month. The notes will accrue
interest at the rate of 10% (ten percent) per
annum.

into a single, fully amortized 48-month note on
April 1, 2001. The first payment under the
fully amortized note will be due on May 1,
2001.

notes are, and will continue to be, cross-
collateralized with all remaining COLLATERAL

to share equitably in the second lien position.

reasonably necessary or convenient to perfect,
maintain, evidence, or continue PFC's security
interest in the COLLATERAL (and its first

hereto is a complete listing of all locations

expenses, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, of every kind and nature whatsoever which

facts in addition to, or different from, those which it
now knows or believes to be true with respect to the
subject matter of this AGREEMENT and the RELEASED
CLAIMS, but that notwithstanding the foregoing, it is

without limitation, fraudulent conveyances, preferences or
other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers
of property, in whole or in part, for any reason

or restore any such VOIDABLE TRANSFER or the amount or any
portion thereof, or upon the advice of its counsel is advised
to do so, then, as to any such VOIDABLE TRANSFER or the amount
repaid or restored (including all reasonable costs, expenses
and attorneys' fees of PFC related thereto), the liability of
OTR shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored

been made.

the following items (in form and substance satisfactory to PFC in
PFC's sole discretion), the failure of which shall constitute a

11.2 Failure by OTR to comply with or perform any of the
other terms, covenants or conditions of the LOAN
DOCUMENTS or any other agreements evidencing the
INDEBTEDNESS (including, but not limited to, any default
or EVENT OF DEFAULT under the LOAN DOCUMENTS); provided,
however, that any defaults existing as of the date of
this AGREEMENT under the EXISTING DOCUMENTS shall not be
an EVENT OF DEFAULT under this AGREEMENT unless and
until another EVENT OF DEFAULT occurs;
11.3 Any representation, warranty or other statement is
false or misleading in any respect when made or
furnished or which subsequently becomes false or
misleading in any material respect;

12.1 Accelerate and declare immediately due and payable
all remaining balance(s) of the INDEBTEDNESS due PFC.
12.2 Notify any or all of OTR's buyers or transferees of

12.3 OTR hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints PFC
as its attorney-in-fact to: (i) endorse OTR's name on
any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or
other evidence of payment that may come into PFC's
possession; (ii) sign OTR's name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇
of lading relating to any of the COLLATERAL and(iii)
demand, receive and enforce payment and give receipts,
releases and satisfactions for and ▇▇▇ for all money
payable to OTR. All of the preceding may be done either
in the name of PFC or in the name of OTR with the same

provided for under this AGREEMENT or any other document
relating to the COLLATERAL, in such manner and such
order, as to all or any part of the COLLATERAL, as PFC,

appropriate; and OTR hereby waives any and all rights,
obligations or defenses now or hereafter established by
law relating to the foregoing. In the enforcement of
its security interest in the COLLATERAL, PFC is
authorized to enter upon the premises where any
COLLATERAL is located and take possession of the
COLLATERAL or any part thereof, together with OTR's
records pertaining thereto and PFC may sell the
COLLATERAL or any portions thereof, together with all
additions, accessions and accessories thereto, giving
only such notices and following only such procedures as
are required by law, at either public or private sale,
or both, with or without having the COLLATERAL present
at the time of sale, which sale shall be on such terms
and conditions and conducted in such manner as PFC
determines in its sole judgment to be commercially
reasonable. Any deficiency arising from an EVENT OF
DEFAULT which exists after disposition or liquidation of
the COLLATERAL shall be a continuing liability of OTR
and shall be immediately payable to PFC.
12.5 Exercise any and all legal or equitable remedies
afforded to PFC as provided in the other LOAN DOCUMENTS,
any agreement or other documents heretofore or hereafter
entered into between PFC and OTR, or as provided for
under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other
applicable law;
12.6 Require OTR, at their sole cost and expense, to
assemble the COLLATERAL and records pertaining to the
COLLATERAL and make them available to PFC at a place
designated by PFC; and/or
12.7 The rights and remedies granted to PFC in this
Section 12 are cumulative, and PFC shall have the right
to exercise any one or more of such rights and remedies
alternatively, successively or concurrently as PFC may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, deem advisable.
13.0 ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES. OTR shall be responsible for
payment of all reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by PFC in negotiating, preparing and
documenting the transactions contemplated herein, and all
costs and expenses with respect thereto and shall promptly pay
same prior to or at the CLOSING. Whether or not litigation is
necessary to enforce any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT
(including, without limitation, the securing of any relief
from any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or incurred in any
manner in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding of OTR), the
prevailing party shall receive from the non-prevailing
party(ies) all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees
incurred in connection with pursuing any rights under the LOAN
