and assigns as follows:
2
A. All capitalized terms used herein, except as modified hereby shall
have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Documents.

1999, to April 15, 1999, at which time the Note shall mature and be payable
without notice or demand.
C. Prior to maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower waives,
releases and forever discharges Lender and Lender's employees, agents, officers
and directors from and against any and all rights, claims, action, causes of

original form as heretofore amended.

date hereof is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

future obligations pursuant to Section 443.055 RSMo. and which is a lien on the
Property (and which may be secured by other property).
N. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure
therefrom, will in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and is
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the same is sought. Any waiver
of any provision of this Agreement and any consent to any departure from the
terms of any provision of this Agreement is to be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
O. Captions contained in this Agreement have been inserted herein
only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, extend or describe
the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provisions hereof.
P. For purposes of executing this Agreement, a document (or signature
page thereto) signed and transmitted by facsimile machine or telecopier is to be
treated as an original document. The signature of any party thereon, for
purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the document
transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original
signature on an original document. At the request of any party, any
4
facsimile or telecopy document is to be reexecuted in original form by the
parties who executed the facsimile or telecopy document. No party may raise the
use of a facsimile machine or telecopier or the fact that any signature was
transmitted through the use of a facsimile or telecopier machine as a defense to
the enforcement of this Agreement or any amendment or other document executed in
compliance with this Paragraph.
Q. This Agreement may be executed by the parties on any number of
separate counterparts, and all such counterparts so executed constitute one
agreement binding on all the parties notwithstanding that all the parties are
not signatories to the same counterpart.

pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
letters of intent, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties,
whether oral or written.

hereunder are to be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of Missouri applicable to contracts made and to be
performed wholly within Missouri, without regard to choice or conflict of laws
rules.
T. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable
or not authorized in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective
to the extent of any such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization
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 such a material change as
to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable.
U. All provisions of this Agreement are binding upon, inure to the
benefit of, and are enforceable by or against, the parties and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives and permitted
successors and assigns.

(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.
