FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made as of
the 30th day of September 2000, by and among FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION
("Lender"), a Rhode Island corporation with an office at Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx,
Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000; and D & K HEALTHCARE RESOURCES, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("D&K") and JARON, INC., a Florida corporation
("Jaron"), and each of which with its chief executive office and principal
place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000; and
XXXXXX DRUG CO. ("Xxxxxx"), a South Dakota corporation with an office at
___________________________________________. (D&K, Jaron and Xxxxxx are
sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Borrowers" and
individually as a "Borrower"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have
the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A, General Definitions. Accounting
terms not otherwise specifically defined herein shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
---------------------
A. D&K, Jaron and Lender entered into that certain Fourth Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 7, 1998 (as amended
from time to time, the "Fourth Restated Loan Agreement").
B. D&K acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of
Xxxxxx, and now D&K, Jaron and Xxxxxx wish to provide for a credit facility
for their respective working capital needs.
C. Borrowers and Lender now mutually desire to amend certain of the
terms and provisions of the Fourth Restated Loan Agreement in accordance with
the terms and conditions stated herein; and in connection therewith Lender
and Borrowers now desire to amend and restate the Fourth Restated Loan
Agreement in its entirety.
SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITY
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender agrees to make a Total Credit Facility of up to
$130,000,000 available upon Borrower's request therefor, as follows:
1.1. Revolving Credit Loans.
----------------------
1.1.1. Loans and Reserves. Lender agrees, for so long as no Default
------------------
or Event of Default exists, to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers from
time to time, as requested by D&K for itself or as agent for the Borrowers in
the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.1 hereof, up to a maximum principal
amount at any time outstanding equal to the Borrowing Base at such time minus
-----
reserves, if any. Lender shall have the right to establish reserves in such
amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Lender shall deem necessary or
appropriate, against the amount of Revolving Credit Loans which Borrowers may
otherwise request under this subsection, including, without limitation, with
respect to (i) price adjustments, damages, unearned discounts, returned
products or other matters for which credit memoranda are issued in the
ordinary course of Borrowers' business; (ii) shrinkage, spoilage and
obsolescence of Inventory; (iii) slow moving Inventory; (iv) other sums
chargeable against Borrowers' Loan Account as Revolving Credit Loans under
any section of this Agreement; (v) amounts owing by any Borrower to any
Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any Property of
such Borrower; and (vi) such other matters, events, conditions or
contingencies as to which Lender, in its sole credit judgment, determines
reserves should be established from time to time hereunder. Borrowers may,
from time to time, enter into contracts or hedging programs, which provide
certain protections with respect to interest rate fluctuations. Lender may,
from time to time (but has no obligation to), provide certain limited
financial assurance to the provider of such products. In addition to the
foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Lender
provides any such assurances, Lender may, in its sole discretion, establish
reserves for any and all obligations, direct or indirect,
5
liquidated or contingent, incurred by Lender in connection with Borrowers, or
either of them obtaining or Lender guaranteeing any interest rate protection
or hedging products (such obligations of Lender are sometimes herein
collectively referred to as "Interest Rate Protection Obligations"), and (x)
------------------------------------
without, in any way limiting any liability or other obligations which
Borrowers shall have to Lender under any other document, instrument or
agreement, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to Lender to
reimburse Lender for all Interest Rate Protection Obligations incurred by
Lender in connection with such products and Lender may reimburse itself for
any Interest Rate Protection Obligations by making a Revolving Credit Loan
without request, approval or consent of Borrowers, and (y) the obligations of
Borrowers to reimburse Lender for Interest Rate Protection Obligations are,
without limitation, "Obligations", as defined in this Agreement, and (z) no
Interest Rate Protection Obligations shall extend beyond the Original Term.
1.1.2. Use of Proceeds. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be used
---------------
solely for the expenses incurred in connection with closing this loan
transaction and for Borrowers' general operating capital needs in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and all applicable law.
1.2. Letters of Credit; LC Guaranties. Lender agrees, for so long as no
--------------------------------
Default or Event of Default exists and if requested by D&K on its own behalf
or as agent for any Borrower, to (i) issue its, or cause to be issued its
Affiliate's, Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower, or (ii)
execute LC Guaranties by which Lender or its Affiliate shall guaranty the
payment or performance by any Borrower of its reimbursement obligations with
respect to Letters of Credit and letters of credit issued for Borrower's
account by any other Persons in support of such Borrower's obligations (other
than obligations for the repayment of Money Borrowed), provided that the LC
--------
Amount at any time shall not exceed $25,000,000. No Letter of Credit or LC
Guaranty may have an expiration date that is after the last day of the
Original Term. Any amounts paid by Lender under any LC Guaranty or in
connection with any Letter of Credit shall be treated as Revolving Credit
Loans, shall be secured by all of the Collateral, and shall bear interest and
be payable at the same rate and in the same manner as Revolving Credit Loans.
1.3. All Loans to Constitute One Obligation; Joint and Several Liability.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
All Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall constitute
one general obligation of Borrowers, and shall be secured by Lender's security
interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral, and by all other security
interests and Liens heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter granted
by any Borrower to Lender. The Borrowers shall be primarily and jointly and
severally liable for all Obligations hereunder. If and to the extent a
Borrower shall be deemed a guarantor of the other Borrowers hereunder, such
Borrower's joint liability for any Loans made to the other Borrowers shall be
deemed to be a guaranty of payment and performance, and not of collection. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notices of any nature whatsoever
with respect to any of the Obligations, and any requirement that the Lender
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the
other Borrowers or any other Person or entity or any Collateral. Each Borrower
hereby agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way
of subrogation hereunder, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all
of the Obligations shall have been paid in full and Lender shall be under no
duty to extend credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower. If any amount
shall be paid to a Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time
when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount(s)
shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be
paid to Lender to be applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If (i) any Borrower shall make
payment to Lender of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all the
Obligations shall be paid in full and Lender shall be under no duty to extend
credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower, then Lender will, at such
Borrower's request, execute and deliver to such Borrower appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence
the transfer by subrogation to such Borrower of an interest in the Obligations
resulting from such payment by such Borrower. The liability of each Borrower
under this Section shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
2
6
(i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of,
or in any other term of, any of the Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this
Agreement;
(ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Collateral or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;
and
(iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or discharge of, a Borrower or a guarantor of
the Obligations.
1.4. Appointment of D&K as Agent.
---------------------------
1.4.1. Appointment of Agent Borrowers hereby appoint their parent
--------------------
corporation, D&K, as their agent and attorney-in-fact to take any action,
execute any document or instrument, consent or agree to any modification or
amendment hereto or waiver of or departure from any of the terms hereof, to
perform any Obligation of any Borrower hereunder, and to give or receive any
notice by or to any Borrower hereunder. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, D&K may request Loans or incur any other Obligation for the
account of any Borrower, may elect on behalf of the Borrowers to have
interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.1.3 hereof, shall prepare and deliver
to Lender all reports concerning the Collateral and all financial statements
required by this Agreement, and each Borrower shall be fully bound by the
statements and actions of D&K acting as agent hereunder. Lender shall be
entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon
any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by D&K hereunder.
Any notice given by Lender to D&K shall be deemed given to all Borrowers,
whether or not this Agreement specifically so provides. This appointment of
D&K as agent shall be irrevocable, and Lender shall have no duty to act in
accordance with any direction given by any other Borrower. This provision is
intended, among other things, to protect Lender against inconsistent
directions given by individual Borrowers. It shall be a condition to
Lender's obligations hereunder that each Borrower shall at all times have
appointed a single entity as its agent, which agent shall be acceptable to
Lender in its sole discretion.
1.4.2. Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers direct the Lender to
----------------------
disburse the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans to or at the direction of
D&K as its agent, as specifically set forth in Section 1.4.1 above.
SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES.
2.1. Interest.
--------
2.1.1. Interest Rate. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the
-------------
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and any other
Obligation for payment of money from the due date at the applicable interest
rates set forth below.
2.1.2. LIBO Rate Loans. So long as no Default or Event of Default
---------------
exists hereunder, and except to the extent that D&K, on its own behalf and as
agent for the Borrowers, shall elect to pay interest on any Revolving Credit
Loan pursuant to Section 2.1.3 below, the Borrowers shall pay interest on (i)
each Revolving Credit Loan, from and including the date of such Loan and (ii)
any other Obligation under the Loan Documents for the payment of money from
the due date thereof, in either case at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
in effect from time to time equal to the LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin
with respect to the LIBO Rate. The foregoing rate of interest shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any
increase or decrease in the LIBO Rate, with such adjustments to be effective
as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the LIBO
Rate becomes effective. The LIBO Rate in effect on the Closing Date shall be
the LIBO Rate effective as of the opening of business on the Closing Date.
2.1.3. Base Rate Loans D&K, on its own behalf and as agent for the
---------------
Borrowers, may from time to time elect to have the interest on all (but not a
portion of) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
3
7
determined and payable at a floating rate equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin with respect to the Base Rate by written notice to the
Lender, such notice to be received by the Lender before 10:00 a.m.
(Milwaukee, Wisconsin time) on the day on which such conversion is to take
effect. Notwithstanding any election by Borrowers, upon and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof,
Lender may at its sole option elect to have the interest of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans determined and payable at the Default Rate. After the
date hereof, the foregoing rate of interest shall be increased or decreased,
as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the
Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of
business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective.
The Base Rate in effect on the date of the election to have the Revolving
Credit Loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall
be the Base Rate effective as of the opening of business on such date.
2.1.4. Illegality; Impracticality. If it shall become unlawful for
--------------------------
Bank, Lender or any Participating Lender to obtain funds in the London
interbank market in order to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Loans or otherwise to
perform its obligations hereunder with respect to any such Loans, upon at
least five (5) Business Days' notice by Lender to D&K the rate of interest on
all such LIBO Rate Loans shall thereupon be determined under Section 2.1.3,
and the right of D&K, on its own behalf and as agent for the Borrowers, to
have interest accrue on any Loan at the LIBO Rate plus the percentage set
forth herein shall thereupon terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, if, during any period in which interest at
the LIBO Rate plus a percentage is to be charged on any Loan, (i) deposits in
U.S. dollars for thirty-day periods are not available to the Bank in the
London interbank market, or (ii) the LIBO Rate plus the percentage set forth
herein will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender or any
Participating Lender of making or maintaining the related LIBO Rate Loan, or
(iii) by reason of national or international financial, political or economic
conditions or by reason of any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation
(whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, or
compliance by the Bank, Lender or any Participating Lender with any request
or directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law),
including without limitation exchange controls, it is impracticable, unlawful
or impossible for Bank, Lender or any Participating Lender to make or
continue the relevant LIBO Rate Loan, then D&K, on its own behalf and as
agent for the Borrowers, shall not be entitled, so long as such circumstances
continue, to continue to have interest accrue on any Loan be at the LIBO Rate
plus the Applicable Margin with respect to the LIBO Rate.
2.1.5. Increased Costs. If, on or after the date hereof, the
---------------
introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or
regulation or the compliance by Lender or any Participating Lender with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority
(whether or not having the force of law) shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against all or any assets held by,
deposits or accounts with, or credit extended by or to, Lender or any
Participating Lender, or impose on Bank, Lender, any Participating
Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
the LIBO Rate Loans, or its obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans; or
(ii) subject Bank, Lender or any Participating Lender to, or
cause the termination or reduction of a previously granted exemption
with respect to, any tax, levy, impost, deduction, charge or
withholding with respect to the LIBO Rate Loans, the Note or Lender's
obligation to make LIBO Rate Loans, or change the basis of taxation
of payment to Lender or any Participating Lender of the principal of
or interest on its Loans or any other amounts under this Agreement
(except for a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
Lender or any Participating Lender imposed by any applicable
jurisdiction),
and the result of any of the foregoing events is to increase the cost to
Bank, Lender or any Participating Lender of agreeing to make or making,
funding, or maintaining its LIBO Rate Loans, or to reduce the amount of any
sums received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or the Note, then,
the Borrowers shall from time to time, not later than thirty (30) days after
Lender's demand therefor, pay such additional amounts as will compensate
Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A certificate of Lender
submitted to D&K, setting forth the amounts of
4
8
such increased costs or reduced amount and the additional amounts to be paid
to Lender or any Participating Lender (as applicable) under this Section
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
2.1.6. Minimum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
---------------------
event shall the per annum rate of interest on any Revolving Credit Loan be
less than five percent (5.0%). Interest in all cases shall be calculated on
a daily basis (computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of
360 days), commencing on the date hereof.
2.1.7. Default Rate. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of
------------
Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount of the
Obligations under this Loan Agreement shall bear interest, calculated daily
(computed on the actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days), at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to three and one-quarter percent (3.25%)
above the interest rate that would otherwise apply under Sections 2.1.2 and
2.1.3 hereof (the "Default Rate").
2.1.8. Usury. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
-----
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible
under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court
determines that Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess
of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply any such excess to any
Obligation hereunder then due and payable and shall promptly refund amounts
not so applied to Borrowers and such rate shall automatically be reduced to
the maximum rate permitted by such law.
2.2. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest, Letter of Credit and
--------------------------------
LC Guaranty fees, unused line fees and collection charges hereunder shall be
calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days. For the purpose of computing interest hereunder,
all items of payment received by Lender shall be deemed applied by Lender on
account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the
same Business Day as receipt by Lender of such items in Lender's account
located in Chicago, Illinois.
2.3. Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty Fees. Borrowers shall pay to
-------------------------------------
Lender:
(i) for standby Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties of
standby Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time during the
term of this Agreement, a per annum fee equal to the product of (i)
the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans in effect on the date of
issuance of the Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty times (ii) the
aggregate face amount of each such Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty,
which fee shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of each such
Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty and shall be due and payable upon the
issuance of such Letter of Credit or execution of such LC Guaranty,
plus all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance
----
thereof, which charges shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of
each such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty, shall be due and payable
on the first Business Day of each month and shall not be subject to
rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any
reason; and
(ii) for documentary Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties of
documentary Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time during
the term of this Agreement, a per annum fee equal to the product of
(i) the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans in effect on the date
of issuance of the Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty times (ii) the
aggregate face amount of each such Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty,
and an additional per annum fee equal to the product of (x) the
Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans in effect on the date of
issuance of the Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty times (y) the
aggregate face amount of each such Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty
for each renewal and each extension thereof plus the normal and
----
customary charges associated with the issuance and administration of
each such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty (which fees and
5
9
charges shall be fully earned upon issuance, renewal or extension
(as the case may be) of each such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty,
shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each month, and
shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of
this Agreement for any reason).
2.4. Reimbursement of Expenses. If, at any time or times regardless of
-------------------------
whether or not an Event of Default then exists, Lender incurs legal or
accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with (i) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, any amendment of or modification of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) the administration of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; (iii) any litigation, contest, dispute,
suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Lender, any Borrower or any
other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents or Borrowers' affairs; (iv) any attempt to enforce
any rights of Lender against any Borrower or any other Person which may be
obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (v) any
attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral; then all
such legal and accounting expenses, other costs and out of pocket expenses of
Lender shall be charged to Borrowers. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers
under this Section shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral,
shall be payable on demand to Lender or to such Participating Lender, as the
case may be, and shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until
paid in full at the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans from time to
time. Borrowers shall also reimburse Lender for expenses incurred by Lender
in its administration of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner
provided in Section 6 hereof.
SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION.
3.1. Manner of Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans. Borrowings under the
------------------------------------------
credit facility established pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be as follows:
3.1.1. Loan Requests. A request for a Revolving Credit Loan shall
-------------
be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner: (i) D&K on
its own behalf or as agent for any Borrower may give Lender notice of its
intention to borrow, in which notice D&K shall specify the amount of the
proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date, no later than 11:00 a.m.
central time on 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; and (ii) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under
this Agreement, whether as interest or for any other Obligation, shall be
deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due
date in the amount required to pay such interest or other Obligation. As an
accommodation to D&K, Lender may permit telephonic requests for loans and
electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports
to Lender by D&K. Unless D&K specifically directs Lender in writing not to
accept or act upon telephonic or electronic communications from any Borrower,
Lender shall have no liability to any Borrower for any loss or damage
suffered by such Borrower as a result of Lender'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 Lender by D&K, for itself or as agent for any
Borrower, and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such
communication or the authority of the person sending it.
3.1.2. Disbursement. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Lender
------------
to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested, or deemed
to be requested, pursuant to this subsection as follows: (i) the proceeds of
each Revolving Credit Loan requested under subsection 3.1.1(i) shall be
disbursed by Lender 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 D&K, for
itself and as agent for the Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent
borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by
D&K, for itself or as agent for any Borrower and Lender from time to time or
elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from D&K, for itself or as agent
for any Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan
requested under
6
10
subsection 3.1.1(ii) shall be disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of
the relevant interest or other Obligation.
3.1.3. Authorization. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize
-------------
Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and to charge
to Borrowers' Loan Account hereunder as a Revolving Credit Loan, a sum
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on the Obligations during the
immediately preceding month and to pay all costs, fees and expenses at any
time owed by any Borrower to Lender hereunder.
3.2. Payments. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments
--------
issued or made by any Borrower to Lender specifically containing payment
provisions which are in conflict with this Section (in which event the
conflicting provisions of said notes or other instruments shall govern and
control), the Obligations shall be payable as follows:
3.2.1. Principal. Principal payable on account of Revolving Credit
---------
Loans shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender immediately upon the earliest
of (i) the receipt by Lender or Borrower of any proceeds of any of the
Collateral (after any prior liens thereon are paid in full), to the extent of
said proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of
which Lender elects to accelerate the maturity and payment of the
Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4
hereof; provided, however, that if an Overadvance shall exist at any time,
-------- -------
Borrowers shall, on demand, repay the Overadvance.
3.2.2. Interest. Interest accrued on account of Revolving Credit
--------
Loans shall be due on the earliest of (1) the first calendar day of each
month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last
calendar day of the preceding month, (2) the occurrence of an Event of
Default in consequence of which Lender elects to accelerate the maturity and
payment of the Obligations or (3) termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 4 hereof.
3.2.3. Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable
-----------------------
pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers as and when provided
in Section 2 hereof, to Lender or to any other Person designated by Lender in
writing.

of Lender, be moved therefrom except, prior to an Event of Default and
Lender's acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence
thereof, for (i) sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; and
(ii) the storage of Inventory at locations within the continental United
States other than those shown on EXHIBIT B if (A) Borrowers give Lender
written notice of the new storage location at least thirty (30) days prior to
storing Inventory at such location, (B) Lender's security interest in such
Inventory is and continues to be a duly perfected, first priority Lien
thereon (subject only to Permitted Liens), (C) neither Borrowers' nor
Lender's right of entry upon the premises where such Inventory is stored, or
its right to remove the Inventory therefrom, in any way is restricted, (D)
the owner of such premises agrees in writing pursuant to a waiver agreement,
in form and substance acceptable to Lender, among other things, not to assert
any landlord's, bailee's or other Lien in respect of the Inventory for unpaid
rent or storage charges, and (E) all negotiable documents and receipts in
respect of any Collateral maintained at such premises are delivered promptly
to Lender.
6.1.2. Insurance of Collateral. Borrowers shall maintain and pay
-----------------------
for insurance upon all Collateral wherever located and with respect to
Borrowers' business, covering casualty, hazard, public liability and such
other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers shall deliver the originals of
such policies to Lender with satisfactory lender's loss payable endorsements,
naming Lender as sole loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as
appropriate. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause
requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to
Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever
and a clause specifying that the interest of Lender shall not be impaired or
invalidated by any act or neglect of Borrowers or the owner of the Property
or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are
permitted by said policy.
In the event Borrowers, at any time, fail to provide Lender with evidence of
the insurance coverage as required by this Agreement, Lender may, but shall
not be obligated to, purchase the insurance coverage at Borrowers' expense to
protect Lender's interests in the Collateral. Such insurance may, but need
not, protect Borrowers' interests. The insurance coverage that Lender
purchases on behalf of Borrowers may not pay any claim that Borrowers make or
any claim that is made against Borrowers in connection with the Collateral.
Borrowers may later cancel any insurance coverage purchased by Lender, but
only after providing Lender with evidence that insurance coverage has been
obtained as provided for in this Agreement. In the event Lender purchases
all or any portion of the insurance coverage for the Collateral or as
otherwise required hereunder, Borrowers will be responsible for all costs and
expenses of such insurance coverage, with the purchase of the insurance
coverage including, but not limited to interest and any other charges imposed
by Lender in connection with the purchase of the insurance coverage until the
effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance coverage.
The costs and expenses of any insurance coverage purchased by Lender shall be
added to the Obligations. Borrowers acknowledge that the costs and expenses
of the insurance coverage purchased by Lender pursuant hereto may be more
than the cost of insurance Borrowers may be able to obtain on their own.
Borrowers shall deliver to Lender in kind, all instruments representing
proceeds of insurance received by Borrowers. Borrowers agree to deliver to
Lender, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any
reporting forms to insurance companies.

following notice:
"Unless you [Borrower] provide evidence of the insurance coverage required by
your agreement with us [Lender], we may purchase insurance at you expense to
protect our interests in your collateral. This insurance may, but need not,
protect your interests. The coverage that we purchase may not pay any claim
that you make or any claim that is made against you in connection with the
collateral. You may later cancel any insurance purchased by us, but only
after providing evidence that you have obtained insurance as required by our
agreement. If we purchase insurance for the collateral, you will be
responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premium,
interest and any other charges we may impose in connection with the placement
of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration
of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to your total
outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more
than the cost of insurance you may be able to obtain on your own."

storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the

of the sale thereof shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. If Borrowers fail
to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, Lender may, at its option, but
shall not be required to, pay the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Lender
shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of
the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care
in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Lender's actual possession)
or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any
warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the
same shall be at Borrowers' sole risk.

than annually and shall provide to Lender a report based on each such
physical inventory promptly thereafter, together with such supporting

dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for cash, credit or any
combination thereof, and Lender may purchase all or any part of the
Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of
actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price
against the Obligations. The proceeds realized from the sale of any
Collateral may be applied, after allowing 1 Business Day for collection,
first to the costs, expenses and
23
27
attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in collecting the Obligations, in
enforcing the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents and in collecting,
retaking, completing, protecting, removing, storing, advertising for sale,
selling and delivering any Collateral, second to the interest due upon any of
the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations. If any
deficiency shall arise, Borrowers shall remain jointly and severally liable
to Lender therefor. In the event of a sale of Collateral on credit terms,
the Borrowers' Obligations shall be reduced only to the extent that Lender
receives cash payment in respect of such credit sale.
10.3.4. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
without charge, Borrowers' labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, tradenames, trademarks and advertising matter, or any
Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in
advertising for sale and selling any Collateral and Borrowers' rights under
all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender's benefit.
10.3.5. Lender may, at its option, require Borrowers to deposit with
Lender funds equal to the LC Amount and, if Borrowers fail to promptly make
such deposit, Lender may advance such amount as a Revolving Credit Loan
(whether or not an Overadvance is created thereby). Any such deposit or
advance shall be held by Lender as a reserve to fund future payments on such
LC Guaranties and future drawings against such Letters of Credit. At such
time as all LC Guaranties have been paid or terminated and all Letters of
Credit have been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in such reserve
shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, if all Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full, returned to Borrowers.
10.4. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All covenants, conditions,
------------------------------
provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of
Borrowers contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any
document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary
hereto or in any schedule or in any guaranty given to Lender or contained in
any other agreement between Lender and any Borrower, heretofore,
concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and
not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions,
or agreements of Borrowers herein contained. The failure or delay of Lender
to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this
Agreement or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies
hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or
security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance,
Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights,
powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans
and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Lender
shall have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements,
warranties, covenants and representations of Borrowers contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Event of Default by any
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is
by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is
signed by a duly authorized representative of Lender and directed to D&K, as
agent for the Borrowers.

Borrower's or Lender's name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:

---------
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any
liability, loss, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or incurred
by such Indemnified Party (including reasonable attorneys fees and legal
expenses) arising out of or in connection with the Securitization Documents
or the closing of the transaction described therein, or as a result of any
Borrower's failure to observe, perform or discharge Borrower's duties
hereunder. In addition, Borrowers shall jointly and severally be obligated
to defend each Indemnified Party against and save it harmless from all claims
of any Person with respect to the Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, these indemnities shall extend to any claims
asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person under any Environmental
Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower's or any other Person's
failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials
or other toxic substances. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this

payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were "Lender"
hereunder and in the case of a total assignment Lender shall be relieved of
all obligations hereunder upon any such assignments. Each Borrower agrees
that it will use its best efforts to assist and cooperate with Lender in any

-------------------------
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate

ANY OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL BE LOCATED IN ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN
ILLINOIS, THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION SHALL GOVERN THE METHOD, MANNER AND
PROCEDURE FOR FORECLOSURE OF LENDER'S LIEN UPON SUCH COLLATERAL AND THE
ENFORCEMENT OF LENDER'S OTHER REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF SUCH COLLATERAL TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION ARE DIFFERENT FROM OR INCONSISTENT
WITH THE LAWS OF ILLINOIS. AS PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR NEW VALUE
RECEIVED, AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE OR PRINCIPAL PLACE
OF BUSINESS OF ANY BORROWER OR LENDER, EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND
AGREES THAT ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OR COUNTY OF ST.
LOUIS, MISSOURI, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY
CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN ANY BORROWER AND LENDER PERTAINING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH
BORROWER EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN
ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO
--------------------
THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY

SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO ANY BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET

31
DEEMED OR OPERATE TO AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY LENDER OF
ANY JUDGMENT OR ORDER OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM OR THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ENFORCE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM OR
JURISDICTION.
11.12. WAIVERS BY BORROWERS. EACH BORROWER WAIVES (i) THE RIGHT TO

PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS OR THE COLLATERAL: (ii) PRESENTMENT,

INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT LENDER IS
RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH BORROWER.
EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING
WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY
THE COURT.
11.13. Private Sale; Commercial Reasonableness. The Borrowers
---------------------------------------
acknowledge that a significant portion of the Collateral consists of
prescription drugs and controlled substances that are subject to applicable
federal and state regulations which, among other things, restrict the right
to sell and purchase such drugs and controlled substances to certain licensed
or otherwise authorized Persons. In view of these restrictions on the
ability to sell and purchase such Collateral, the Borrowers acknowledge that
a public sale of such Collateral under the UCC would be legally impossible or
otherwise impractical. Accordingly, the Borrowers agree that a private sale
of any such Collateral, and any other Collateral sold in connection
therewith, shall not be deemed a commercially unreasonable sale under the UCC
by virtue of the Lender selling, or offering to sell, such Collateral only to
Persons who are licensed or otherwise authorized to purchase such Collateral.
The Borrowers further recognize that, in connection with the disposition of
such Collateral subject to federal and state regulations, the Lender may
incur additional costs and expenses such as, by way of example and not as a
limitation, obtaining certain federal and state licenses or other
authorizations to permit the Lender to sell or purchase such Collateral,
retaining the services of auctioneers or other persons licensed or otherwise
authorized to dispose of such Collateral, retaining legal counsel and experts
in the area of prescription drugs and controlled substances to advise Lender
on the disposition of such Collateral, and verifying that any purchasers of
such Collateral are licensed or otherwise authorized to acquire such
Collateral. Any such reasonable additional costs and expenses incurred by
the Lender shall be added to the Obligations and be payable on demand and
shall not affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale. Borrowers
hereby agree to cooperate with any such sale to the extent reasonably
requested by Lender.
11.14. Confidentiality. Lender agrees to take and to cause its
---------------
Affiliates to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to
maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as "confidential"
or "secret" by Borrowers and provided to it by the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither such
Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in
28
32
connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or
contemplated with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than
as a result of disclosure by Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, provided that
such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrowers or
any Subsidiary known to Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may
-------- -------
disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement
of any governmental authority to which Lender is subject or in connection
with an examination of Lender by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena
or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable requirement of law; (D) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Lender
or any of their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent
reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder
or under any other Loan Document; (F) to Lender's independent auditors and
other professional advisors; (G) to any participant or assignee, actual or
potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such
information confidential to the same extent required of the Lender hereunder;
(H) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms
of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary is party or is deemed party with Lender or Such
Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates.
