(c) Section 2.4.3 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
2.4.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree that
the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Assets in
accordance with an appraisal prepared by a firm selected by Buyer,

prepared pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of

(e) The last sentence at the end of Section 15.3 of the Purchase
Agreement (as added by the first amendment to the Purchase Agreement) is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees and acknowledges
that Buyer shall not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the
December 2 Payment or any of the March 14 Payment.
(f) Section 16.5 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
16.5 Benefit and Assignment. Neither party may assign its
right or obligations hereunder to another party without the
advance written consent of the other party provided, however, that
(i) Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to one or
more affiliates or subsidiaries of Buyer, provided each such
affiliate or subsidiary is controlled by or under common control
with Buyer, and so long as Buyer unconditionally guarantees all of
each such affiliate's or subsidiary's obligations under this
Agreement and other Documents, (ii) Seller may assign all or part
of its rights hereunder to a "qualified intermediary" as provided
in Section 16.17 hereof, but no such assignment shall relieve
Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and other Documents
and (iii) any party's rights to indemnification under Article XII
hereof will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any
successor-in-interest by merger or consolidation or by any lender
secured by a security interest in such rights to indemnification.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns.
(g) Section 6.17 is hereby added to the Purchase Agreement to
read as follows:
16.17 Like-Kind Exchange. Seller may elect to effect the
-3-
transfer and conveyance of the Assets as part of an exchange under
Section 1031 of the Code. If Seller so elects, it shall provide written
notice to Buyer of its election, and thereafter (i) may at any time at or
prior to Closing assign its right under this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement to a "qualified intermediary" as defined in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4), subject to all of Buyer's rights and obligations
hereunder and (ii) shall promptly provide written notice of such
assignment to all parties hereto. Buyer shall execute all documents
needed to give effect to Seller's election to effect the transfer and
conveyance of the Assets as part of an exchange under Section 1031 of the
Code, provided the execution of such documents does not obligate the Buyer
to expend any funds that Buyer would not otherwise expend or incur any
liabilities that Buyer would not otherwise incur. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Seller has given notice of its intention
to effect the disposition of the Assets as part of a tax-deferred
exchange, Buyer shall (i) promptly provide Seller with written
acknowledgment of such notice and (ii) at Closing, pay the Purchase
Price for the Assets to the "qualified intermediary" rather than to Seller
(which payment shall discharge the obligation of Buyer to make payment for
the Assets hereunder). Buyer also agrees that if Seller assigns its
rights under the Escrow Agreement to a "qualified intermediary" as defined
in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) prior to the Closing, such
qualified intermediary shall execute the joint written instructions
(referred in paragraph 5(a) of the Escrow Agreement) as the Seller's
assignee.
2. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
-4-
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall in all respects be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Missouri, including all matters of construction, validity and performance,
without regard to its principle of conflicts of laws.
4. Reference to Purchase Agreement. Except as amended hereby, the
Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects.
-5-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto have executed this Second
Amendment to the Purchase Agreement as of the date and year first above
written.
