time beginning on the date hereof and ending on July 1, 2001, such amount or
amounts as the Borrower may from time to time request to borrow up to an
aggregate outstanding principal amount owing to UMB of, but not exceeding at
any time, $35,000,000 through June 30, 2001 (the "Revolving Credit"). The
Borrower may prepay all or any part of the outstanding obligations hereunder
at any time on one (1) business day's prior notice and without penalty on a
FIFO basis. Any prepayment of the outstanding amount of all Loans under the
Revolving Credit shall include accrued interest thereon. Upon any payment
prior to June 30, 2001 of Loans under the Revolving Credit, UMB agrees to
lend to the Borrower from time to time during the period beginning upon the
date of this Agreement and ending on June 30, 2001, an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed the difference between (i) the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Borrower's aggregate indebtedness under the
Revolving Credit, and (ii) the amount of
4
the Revolving Credit; provided, however, that UMB shall have no obligation to
make any such Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, regardless of whether any required notice has been given.
At the time of execution hereof, an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower shall execute promissory note in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Revolving Credit Note"
which shall include all extensions and renewals thereof and replacements
therefor, if any). The Revolving Credit Note shall be due and payable to UMB
in full on June 30, 2001. As the Borrower desires to obtain Loans pursuant to
the Revolving Credit hereunder, it shall verbally give UMB notice of the
Borrower's intention to borrow pursuant to the Revolving Credit as early as
possible on or before the proposed date of borrowing. UMB may conclusively
rely on any such verbal request which shall have been received by it in good
faith from a Person reasonably believed to be an Authorized Officer. Upon
compliance with all conditions of lending stated in this Agreement applicable
to the Revolving Credit, UMB shall disburse the amount of the requested Loan
to the Borrower by causing the same to be deposited in the Borrower's main
operating account at UMB, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the disbursement
of borrowings under the Revolving Credit in such manner. All borrowings and
payments by the Borrower under the Revolving Credit shall be recorded by UMB
on its books and records and the principal amount outstanding from time to
time, plus interest payable thereon, shall be determined by reference to the
books and records of UMB. Such books and records shall be rebuttably presumed
to be correct as to such matters. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Revolving Credit Note executed hereunder and the terms of this
Agreement, the terms of the Revolving Credit Note shall control. All Loans of
the Borrower under the Revolving Credit shall be reduced to zero by June 30,
2001.
5
2.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT. In the event
that the maximum principal amount of Loans which is outstanding under the
Revolving Credit is at any time greater than the maximum amount which is then
authorized to be outstanding thereunder, the Borrower will immediately, upon
written notice from UMB, pay to UMB the difference between the outstanding
principal amount and the principal amount then authorized to be outstanding
thereunder plus all accrued interest thereon.
3. INTEREST/FEES.
3.1 INTEREST RATE. Each Loan under the Revolving Credit and
shall bear interest, on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each
day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate equal to
the 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR, at the Company's request at the time the advance
is made, plus 200 basis points. The LIBOR shall be initially determined for
all Loans under the Revolving Credit, as of the Business Day immediately
preceding the initial Loan under the Revolving Credit, as the case may be,
and thereafter for all loans under the Revolving Credit, such rate so
determined to be fixed for the 30, 60 of 90 day period. Interest on the
Revolving Credit Note shall be payable monthly on the first (1st) business
day of each calendar month.
3.2 CALCULATION OF INTEREST. Interest shall be computed on
the basis of days elapsed and assuming a 360-day year.
3.3 CREDIT COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrower shall pay to UMB
commencing on December 31, 1999, and continuing on the last day of each
March, June, September and December thereafter, so long as the Revolving
Credit is available, a commitment fee equal to .225%, on an annualized basis,
of the average daily unused portion of the first Twenty Million and no/100
Dollars ($20,000,000) of the Revolving Credit during the immediately
preceding three (3) month period
6
ending March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 or any shorter period
in the case of the first period or in the event of the full termination of
the Revolving Credit (the "Commitment Fee Periods"). Effective as of the
relevant payment date, the obligation to pay the commitment fee shall be an
absolute obligation of the Borrower, not subject to cancellation or reduction
for any reason, including, without limitation, termination, in whole or in
part, of the Revolving Credit, and, once paid, the commitment fee shall be
non-refundable; provided, however, to the extent the Revolving Credit is
reduced or terminated, then the fee payable by the Borrower for the next
succeeding Commitment Fee Periods shall be accordingly reduced. UMB is hereby
authorized by the Borrower to automatically debit any of the Borrower's
accounts with UMB for the payment of any commitment fee due and payable
hereunder. UMB shall give notice of any such debit to the Borrower when any
such debit is made. The Revolving Credit commitment fee shall be computed on
the basis of days elapsed and assuming a 360-day year.
3.4 BUSINESS DAY. If any installment of principal or
interest on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, the maturity of the installment of principal or interest shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable
during such extension of maturity.
4. CONDITIONS TO MAKING LOANS. UMB's obligation to make any Loan

UMB pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
4.3 REQUIRED CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. All approvals required
from the Board of Directors of the Borrower for the execution of this
Agreement, the borrowings contemplated hereunder and the execution of all
