form of Exhibit F attached to the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and incorporated herein by reference (a “Letter of Credit Request”) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested issuance thereof;
provided, however, that: 
  
 (i) Borrower shall
have executed and delivered to Lender a Letter of Credit Application with respect to such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (ii) the term of any such Letter of Credit shall not extend beyond the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year after the date of issuance
thereof or (B) the last day of the Revolving Credit Period; 
  

 - 3 - 

 (iii) any Letter of Credit may only be utilized to guaranty the payment of obligations of
Borrower or a Subsidiary to third parties; 
  
 (iv) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not as of any date exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of the Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as of such date or (B) the Borrowing Base as of such date; 
  
 (v) the sum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit plus all unreimbursed drawings with respect thereto shall not as of any date exceed the lesser of (A) the lesser of (1) the amount of Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as of such date or (2) the Borrowing
Base as of such date or (B) $5,000,000.00; and 
  
 (vi) the text of any such Letter of Credit is provided to Lender no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the requested issuance date, which text must be acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 (b) The payment of drafts under each Letter of Credit shall
be made in accordance with the terms thereof and, in that connection, Lender shall be entitled to honor any drafts and accept any documents presented to it by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit and the related Letter of Credit Application and believed in good faith by Lender to be genuine. Lender shall not have any duty to inquire as to the accuracy or authenticity of any draft or other drawing document that may be presented to it
other than the duties contemplated by the applicable Letter of Credit Application. 
  
 (c) In the event of any payment by Lender of a draft presented under a Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender in immediately
available funds at the time of such drawing an amount equal to the sum of such drawing plus Lender’s customary negotiation, processing and other fees related thereto. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to charge or cause to be charged one
or more of Borrower’s bank accounts at Lender to the extent there are balances of immediately available funds therein, in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of such drawing plus Lender’s customary negotiation, processing and other
fees related thereto, and Borrower agrees to pay the amount of any such drawing (and/or Lender’s customary negotiation, processing and other fees related thereto) not so charged prior to the close of business of Lender on the day of such
drawing. In the event any payment under a Letter of Credit is made by Lender prior to receipt of payment from Borrower, such payment by Lender shall constitute a request by Borrower for a Revolving Credit Prime Loan under Section 2.01 (and Lender
shall have the right to make such Revolving Credit Prime Loan to Borrower regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing and regardless of whether such Revolving Credit Prime Loan would
otherwise be permitted under the requirements of Sections 2.01 of this Agreement) and the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Prime Loan shall be paid directly to Lender and applied by Lender to the payment of any amounts owed by Borrower to Lender
under this Section 2.03. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (d) Borrower hereby further agrees to pay to the order of Lender: 
  
 (i) a nonrefundable commitment fee equal to One Percent
(1.0%) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit Commitment Fee”), which Letter of Credit Commitment Fee shall be due and payable in full upon issuance of each Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (ii) with respect to each Letter of Credit, such other fees
(other than additional commitment fees) as may be charged by Lender from time to time in accordance with Lender’s published schedule of fees in effect from time to time, which fees shall be due and payable on demand by Lender. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Letters of Credit remain outstanding on the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, Borrower shall, on or before 12:00 noon (St. Louis time) on the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, (a) surrender the
originals of the applicable Letter(s) or Credit to Lender for cancellation or (b) provide Lender with cash collateral (or other collateral acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) in an amount at least equal to the aggregate undrawn
face amount of all outstanding Letter(s) of Credit plus all unreimbursed drawings with respect thereto and execute and deliver to Lender such agreements as Lender may require to grant Lender a first priority perfected security interest in
such cash or other collateral. Any such cash collateral received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) shall be held by Lender in a separate account at U.S. Bank National Association appropriately designated as cash collateral accounts in
relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by Lender as collateral security for the payment of the Borrower’s Obligations. Cash amounts delivered to Lender pursuant to the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.03(e)
shall be invested, at the request and for the account of Borrower in investments of a type and nature and with a term acceptable to Lender. Such amounts, including in the case of cash amounts invested in the manner set forth above, shall not be used
by Lender to pay any amounts drawn or paid under or pursuant to any Letter of Credit, but may be applied to reimburse Lender for drawings or payments under or pursuant to such Letters of Credit which Lender has paid, or if no such reimbursement is
required to the payment of such of the other Borrower’s Obligations as Lender shall determine. Any amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) after the payment in full of all of the
Borrower’s Obligations and the expiration or cancellation of all of the Letters of Credit shall be returned to Borrower (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable expenses, if any). 
  
 4. Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to provide in its
entirety as follows: 
  
 2.07 Interest
Rates. 
  
 (a) So long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, interest on each advance hereunder shall accrue at one of the following per annum rates selected by Borrower (i) upon notice to Lender, the prime rate announced by Lender from time to time, as and when such rate
changes (a “Prime Rate Loan”); or (ii) upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, 2.5% plus the 1, 2 or 3 month LIBOR rate quoted by Lender from Telerate Page 3750 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR
rate in effect two 
  

 - 5 - 

 New York Banking Days prior to commencement of the advance), adjusted for any reserve requirement and any
subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “LIBOR Rate Loan”). So long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise
applicable to such advance plus 2%. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each
month and at the maturity of each Note. From and after the maturity of each Note, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the rate
otherwise applicable to such Loan plus 2%. 
  
 (b) In the event Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days before the end of the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan, Lender may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the
LIBOR Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, but until such conversion, the funds advanced under the LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan
Period. 
  
 (c) No LIBOR Rate Loan may extend
beyond the maturity of the applicable Note. In any event, if the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the maturity of the Note, such Loan must be prepaid at the time the Note matures. Lender’s internal records of
applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. The initial LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, and each subsequent LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$100,000. The aggregate number of LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any one time may not exceed four (4). 
  
 (d) If a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period, as defined above, for such Loan, whether voluntarily or because
prepayment is required due to the applicable Note maturing or due to acceleration of the Note upon default or otherwise, Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by Bank) incurred as a
result of such prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the
remaining entire principal balance of such Loan. 
  
 5. Section
2.09(e) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows: 
  
 (e) If the Lender, pursuant to Section 6, or the Borrower, for any reason, terminates this Agreement prior to April 1, 2006, the Borrower
shall pay the Lender a fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the average outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans during the 12-month period ending as of the most recent month-end preceding the termination date; provided, however,
that no such fee will be assessed if the termination results in connection with a refinancing by U.S. Bank National Association. 
  

 - 6 - 

 6. A new Section 3.03 is added to the Loan Agreement to provide in its entirety as follows: 

 
 3.03 All Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding any
provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit under this Agreement unless: 
  
 (a) Lender shall have received a current Borrowing Base Certificate as required by Section 2.01(b); 
  
 (b) Lender shall have received a Letter of Credit Request
for such Letter of Credit as required by Section 2.03(a); 
  
 (c) Lender shall have received a Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit as required by Section 2.03(a), duly executed by Borrower as account party and applicant; 
  
 (d) Borrower shall have complied with all of the procedures
and requirements set forth in Section 2.03; 
  
 (e) both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  
 (f) no material adverse change in the Properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations, income or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, any other Obligor and/or any Subsidiary shall have occurred since the date of this Agreement and be continuing; 
  

(g) all of the representations and warranties made by Borrower and/or any other Obligor in this Agreement and/or in any other
Transaction Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit as if made on and as of the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (and for purposes of this Section
3.03(g), the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 4.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements of Borrower delivered to the Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(a)); and 
  
 (h) Lender shall have received such other documents,
certificates and agreements as it may reasonably request. 
  
 Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit by Borrower under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit as to the facts
specified in clauses (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.03. 
  
 7.
A new Section 6.08 is added to the Loan Agreement to provide in its entirety as follows: 
  
 6.08 Any Letter of Credit Application shall at any time for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared to be
null and void by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Application shall be contested or denied by Borrower, or if Borrower shall deny that it has any further liability or obligation under
any Letter of Credit Application or if Borrower shall fail to comply with or observe any of the terms, provisions or conditions contained in any Letter of Credit Application; 
  

 - 7 - 

 8. The definitions of “Borrowing Base”, “Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment” and “Revolving Credit Period” in Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement are hereby amended to provide as follows: 
  
 Borrowing Base shall mean, as of the date of any determination thereof, the sum of: 
  
 (a) (i) Eighty-Five Percent (85%) if the Rate of Dilution of
