reason of the happening of any contingency).

SECTION 3. THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

     3.1 Revolving Credit Commitment of Lenders; Swing Line Commitment of First Bank.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing (provided, however, that Agent shall have no liability to any other
Lender for making a Revolving Credit Loan to Borrowers after the occurrence or during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default unless Agent has previously received notice in
writing from a Borrower or any other Lender of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default),
during the Term of this Agreement, each Lender hereby severally agrees to make such loans
(individually, a “Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”), to each
Borrower as such Borrower may from time to time request pursuant to Section 3.2(a). The Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base; or (ii)
Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the “Total Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the amount
each Lender shall be required to have outstanding hereunder as Revolving Credit Loans plus their
Pro Rata Share of any then outstanding Swing Line Loans made by First Bank under Section 3.1(e)
plus their undivided Pro Rata Share participation interest in the Stated Amount of each Letter of
Credit issued by First Bank under Section 3.3 shall not exceed, in the aggregate at any one time
outstanding, the lesser of (x) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the then current Borrowing Base. Each Revolving Credit Loan under this
Section 3.1(a) shall be made from the several Lenders rateably in proportion to their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments. The Revolving Credit Loans from Lenders to the Borrowers shall be
evidenced by the joint and several Revolving Credit Notes of the Borrowers dated the date hereof
and payable to the order of each of the Lenders in the respective original principal amounts of
each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
and incorporated herein by reference (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified,
extended or renewed, the “Revolving Credit Notes”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow such sums from Lenders.

- 18 -

 

          (b) Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent and each of the Lenders on or before the date
of execution hereof (with respect to the fiscal month ended April 30, 2006), and on or before the
last day of each month thereafter (with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal month-end) (or
more often if requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders) the Borrowers shall deliver to each
of the Lenders, a borrowing base certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (a “Borrowing Base Certificate”) setting forth:

     (i) the Borrowing Base and its components as of the end of the immediately
preceding fiscal month;

     (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding,
the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding, and the Stated
Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of any of the Borrowers which
are then outstanding; and

     (iii) the difference, if any, between the Borrowing Base and the Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings.

The Borrowing Base shown in each such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be and remain the Borrowing
Base under this Agreement until the next Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered to each of the
Lenders, at which time the Borrowing Base shall be the amount shown in such subsequent Borrowing
Base Certificate. Each Borrowing Base Certificate shall be certified as to truth and accuracy by
the President or principal financial officer of each of the Borrowers.

          (c) If the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings are at any time greater than the Borrowing Base
at such time, the Borrowers shall (without demand or notice of any kind by Agent or any of the
Lenders, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower) immediately repay the Revolving
Credit Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or to cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of
Credit in the manner set forth in Section 3.3(e) herein, in any such case in an aggregate amount
sufficient to reduce the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings to the amount of the
Borrowing Base. If the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings are at any time greater than the amount
of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at such time (whether as a result of a scheduled reduction
in the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or otherwise), the Borrowers shall (without
demand or notice of any kind by Agent or any of the Lenders, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by each Borrower) immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans
and/or cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section
3.3(e) herein, in any such case in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings to the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. 

          (d) Each Lender shall record in its books and records, and prior to any transfer of its
Revolving Credit Note shall endorse on the schedules forming a part thereof, appropriate notations
to evidence the date and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by it during the Term hereof,
and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by Borrowers with respect thereto. Each
Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by Borrowers so to endorse its Revolving Credit Note and to
attach to and make a part of any such Revolving Credit Note a continuation of any such schedule as
and when required; provided, however that the obligation of Borrowers to repay each Revolving
Credit Loan made hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding any failure of any
Lender to endorse or any mistake by any Lender in connection with endorsement on the schedules
attached to their respective Revolving Credit Notes. The books and records of each Lender
(including, without limitation, the schedules

- 19 -

 

attached to the Revolving Credit Notes) showing the
account between such Lender and Borrowers shall be admissible in evidence in any action or
proceeding and shall constitute prima facie proof of the items therein set forth.

          (e) First Bank’s Swing Line Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (provided, however,
that First Bank shall have no liability to any other Lender for making a Swing Line Loan to any
Borrower after the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default unless
First Bank has previously received notice in writing from a Borrower or any other Lender of the
occurrence of such Default or Event of Default), during the Term of this Agreement, First Bank
agrees to make such loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan” and collectively, the “Swing Line
Loans”), to each Borrower as the Borrower Representative may from time to time request pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) or as the same may
from time to time be deemed requested by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 3.2(b).
The aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans which First Bank shall be required to have
outstanding under this Agreement as of any date shall not exceed the amount of the Swing Line
Commitment; provided, however, that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings on
any given day exceed the lesser of (a) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the
Lender(s) on such day or (b) the amount of the Borrowing Base on such day. Within the foregoing
limits, Borrowers may borrow under this Section 3.1(e), prepay under Section 3.10 and reborrow at
any time during the Term hereof under this Section 3.1(e). All Swing Line Loans not paid prior to
the last day of the Term hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees
and other amounts owing by Borrowers to First Bank with respect thereto, shall be due and payable
on the last day of the Term hereof. The Swing Line Loans from First Bank to the Borrowers shall be
evidenced by the joint and several Swing Line Note of the Borrowers dated the date hereof and
payable to the order of First Bank in the original principal amount of Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000.00) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by
reference (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended or renewed, the “Swing
Line Note”). On Tuesday of each week (or if any such Tuesday is not a Business Day, then on the
next succeeding Business Day) (each a “Settlement Date”), the Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders in writing of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans then outstanding from
First Bank, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably agrees on each such Settlement Date to make
a Revolving Credit Loan to Borrowers on such date in the amount of such Lender’s ratable share of
the amount of all such then outstanding Swing Line Loans (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Revolving Credit Commitments). Each Lender shall pay such amount to the Agent in immediately
available funds on such Settlement Date, and Agent shall pay such amounts to First Bank in
immediately available funds on such Settlement Date. If such amount is not in fact made available
to the Agent by any such Lender on a Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to receive such
amount from such Lender forthwith upon its demand, together with interest thereon in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the Settlement Date such amount was due and ending on but
excluding the date the Agent recovers such amount from the Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
effective rate charged to the Agent for overnight federal funds transactions with member banks of
the Federal Reserve System for each day as determined by the Agent (or in the case of a day which
is not a Business Day, then for the preceding day). Following such advance by each Lender of its
Pro Rata Share of any such Swing Line Loans as a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to this Section,
each such Lender shall thereafter receive its Pro Rata Share of all principal payments, interest
payments, fees and other amounts due with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans as and when paid
by Borrowers to Agent hereunder. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter be evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Notes of each of the Lenders.

- 20 -

 

     3.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

          (a) Revolving Credit Loan Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
Lenders shall cause the Revolving Credit Loans to be made to the Borrowers at any time and from
time to time during the Term hereof upon timely notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) to Agent, in writing
signed by the Borrower Representative (which notice may be given by facsimile transmission) or such
Borrowing Notice may be oral provided it is promptly confirmed in writing signed by the Borrower
Representative to Agent, specifying: (1) the desired amount of the new Revolving Credit Loan(s),
and (2) the date on which the Loan proceeds are to be made available to the applicable Borrower(s),
which shall be a Business Day. Each Borrowing Notice must be received by Agent not later than
10:00 a.m. (St. Louis time) on the Business Day on which a Revolving Credit Loan being borrowed is
to be made. The Agent shall notify each Lender by 11:00 a.m. (St. Louis time) on the date of its
receipt of a Borrowing Notice of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such
new Revolving Credit Loan. A Borrowing Notice, once issued, shall not be revocable by the
Borrowers. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the date of each new Revolving Credit
Loan, each Lender shall make available its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan, in federal
or other funds immediately available in St. Louis, Missouri, to the Agent at its address
specified in or pursuant to Section 9.7. Agent shall not be required to make any amount available
to Borrowers hereunder except to the extent it shall have received such amounts from the Lenders as
set forth herein, provided, however, that unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Lender
prior to the date a Revolving Credit Loan is to be made hereunder that such Lender does not intend
to make its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Agent, the Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Agent on such date, and the
Agent may in reliance upon such assumption make available to the applicable Borrower(s) a
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by
such Lender and the Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower(s), the Agent shall be
entitled to receive such amount from such Lender forthwith upon its demand, together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made
available to the Borrower(s) and ending on but excluding the date the Agent recovers such amount
from the Lender at a rate per annum equal to the effective rate charged to the Agent for overnight
federal funds transactions with member banks of the Federal Reserve System for each day as
determined by the Agent (or in the case of a day which is not a Business Day, then for the
preceding day). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, provided that Agent has received a
timely Borrowing Notice, Agent shall (unless Agent determines that any applicable condition
specified in Section 4 has not been satisfied) make the funds so received from the Lenders
available to the applicable Borrower(s) by wiring or otherwise transferring the proceeds of such
Loan not later than 3:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the Business Day specified in said Borrowing
Notice in accordance with any instructions for such disbursement received from such Borrower(s).
Each of the Borrowers hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders to rely on telephonic, facsimile or
written instructions of any Person identifying himself or herself as a Person authorized to request
a Revolving Credit Loan or to make a repayment hereunder, and on any signature which Agent or any
of the Lenders believes to be genuine, and the Borrowers shall be bound thereby in the same manner
as if such Person were actually authorized or such signature were genuine. Each of the Borrowers
also hereby agrees to indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance of instructions for making Revolving Credit Loans or making repayments
hereunder unless such acceptance results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent or a Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. A Borrowing Notice shall
not be required in connection with a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 3.3(c).

- 21 -

 

          (b) Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, First Bank shall
cause the Swing Line Loans to be made to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time during the
Term hereof upon timely notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) to First Bank, either in writing
signed by the Borrower Representative (including any such notice by facsimile transmission) or
orally, provided it is promptly confirmed in writing signed by the Borrower Representative to First
Bank, specifying: (1) the desired principal amount of the Swing Line Loan(s), (2) the Borrower(s)
to whom such Swing Line Loan(s) are to be made, and (3) the date on which the Loan proceeds are to
be made available to the applicable Borrower(s), which shall be a Business Day. Each Swing Line
Borrowing Notice must be received by First Bank not later than 10:00 a.m. (St. Louis time) on the
Business Day on which a Swing Line Loan is to be made. A Borrowing Notice shall not be required in
connection with a Loan made to cover any overdraft in Virbac’s operating account on a day-to-day
basis as set forth herein. A Borrowing Notice shall not be revocable by Borrowers. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, provided that First Bank has received the Borrowing Notice, First Bank
shall (unless First Bank determines that any applicable condition specified in Section 4 has not
been satisfied) pay to Borrowers, or any of them, the Loan proceeds of any new Swing Line Loan in
immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (St. Louis time) on the Business Day specified
in said Borrowing Notice. Each of the Borrowers hereby authorizes First Bank to reasonably rely on
telephonic, telegraphic, telecopy, telex or written instructions of any person identifying himself
as a person authorized to request a Swing Line Loan or make a repayment hereunder, and on any
signature which First Bank believes to be genuine, and Borrowers shall be bound thereby in the same
manner as if such person were actually
authorized or such signature were genuine. Borrowers further request and authorize First Bank, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to make a Swing Line Loan to Borrowers hereunder at the end of
each day in which Borrowers shall have an overdraft (negative ledger balance) in Virbac’s operating
account (Account No. 9800801785) with First Bank after crediting all deposits received in
immediately available funds and debiting all withdrawals made and checks presented against such
account and honored by First Bank as of such date and after funding any advances to or receiving
any collected balances on such day from the “zero balance” operating accounts of PM Resources
(Account No. 9800802535), and Virbac AH (Account No. 9821908926) with First Bank to cover
withdrawals made and checks presented on such date and after crediting all deposits received in
immediately available funds on such date, which Swing Line Loan shall be in the amount of such
overdraft without any other request or authorization therefor from Borrowers and without notice to
Borrowers. Similarly, Borrowers request that First Bank apply any collected balances (after
funding advances to or receiving collections from the “zero balance” accounts of PM Resources and
Virbac AH) in excess of a mutually predetermined amount remaining at the end of any day in Virbac’s
operating account to the repayment of the principal balance of Borrowers’ Obligations outstanding,
first as Swing Line Loans, and second, as Revolving Credit Loans, under the Notes. Borrowers also
hereby agree jointly and severally to indemnify First Bank and hold First Bank harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, Attorneys’ Fees) relating to or arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance of instructions for making Swing Line Loans or repayments hereunder.

     3.3 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement,
and so long as no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing
(provided, however, that First Bank shall have no liability to any of the Lenders for issuing a
Letter of Credit after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement
unless First Bank has previously received notice in writing to First Bank by Borrowers or any of
the other Lenders of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default), First Bank hereby agrees
to issue irrevocable standby and commercial letters of credit for the account of any of the
Borrowers (individually, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) in an
amount and for the term specifically requested by any such

- 22 -

 

Borrower by application in writing to
First Bank in the form of Exhibit E in the case of a standby Letter of Credit or in the
form of Exhibit F in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, each as attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (a “Letter of Credit Application”) at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the requested issuance thereof; provided, however, that:

     (i) the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered to First Bank a
Letter of Credit Application with respect to such Letter of Credit, which Letter of
Credit Application shall be countersigned by each of the other Borrowers as
guarantors;

     (ii) the term of any such Letter of Credit shall not extend beyond the earlier
of (A) the last day of the Term hereof, or (B) three hundred sixty-five (365) days
from the issuance thereof, provided, however, that any such Letter of Credit may be
renewable on terms satisfactory to First Bank and the Required Lenders; and

     (iii) the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any
one time exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and the Total Revolving Credit
Outstandings shall not at any one time exceed the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base
or (b) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00); and

     (iv) the text of any such Letter of Credit is provided to First Bank no less
than three (3) Business Days prior to the requested issuance date, which text must
be acceptable to First Bank and the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute
discretions.

          (b) The payment of drafts under each Letter of Credit shall be made in accordance with the
terms thereof and, in that connection, First Bank 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 believed by First Bank to be genuine. First Bank 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. If First Bank shall have received documents that in its judgment constitute all of
the documents that are required to be presented before payment or acceptance of a draft under a
Letter of Credit, it shall be entitled to pay such draft provided such documents conform on their
face to the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

          (c) In the event of any payment by First Bank of a draft presented or accepted under a Letter
of Credit, Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the account of First Bank in immediately available
funds at the time of such drawing an amount equal to the sum of such drawing plus First
Bank’s negotiation, processing and other fees related thereto. Borrowers hereby authorize First
Bank to charge or cause to be charged to any of the Borrowers’ bank accounts at First Bank to the
extent there are balances of immediately available funds therein, in an amount equal to the sum of
such drawing plus First Bank’s negotiation, processing and other fees related thereto, and
Borrowers agree to pay the amount of any such drawing (and/or First Bank’s negotiation, processing
and other fees related thereto) not so charged prior to the close of business of First Bank on the
day of such drawing. In the event any payment under a Letter of Credit is made by First Bank prior
to receipt of payment from Borrowers, such payment by First Bank shall constitute a request by the
applicable Borrower for a Revolving Credit Loan under Section 3.1(a) above.

     (i) Borrowers shall also pay to Agent, for First Bank’s account, with respect
to each a Letter of Credit, First Bank’s standard issuance fees (unless a different
issuance fee is agreed to between Borrowers and First Bank with respect to any such
Letter of Credit), confirmation fees, wire transfer fees, processing fees and other
fees as First Bank

- 23 -

 

may from time to time customarily charge, which fees shall be due and payable on
demand by First Bank; and

     (ii) Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders with
respect to each Letter of Credit for the period during which such Letter of Credit
is outstanding, a nonrefundable Letter of Credit Commitment Fee in an amount equal
to the Applicable Letter of Credit Commitment Fee Rate (calculated on an actual day,
360-day year basis) on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit issued
hereunder (“Letter of Credit Commitment Fee”), which Letter of Credit Commitment Fee
shall be due and payable annually in advance on the date of issuance of each such
Letter of Credit and on each anniversary date of such Letter of Credit during the
Term hereof.

          (d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by First Bank, an undivided participation interest
therein (including, without limitation, an undivided participation interest in the reimbursement
risk relating to such Letter of Credit and in all payments and Revolving Credit Loans made in
connection with such Letter of Credit) shall automatically be granted by First Bank to and accepted
by each of the other Lenders in an amount based on each such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
face amount of such Letter of Credit. Agent agrees to provide each Lender with a copy of each
Letter of Credit issued hereunder. If First Bank shall make payment on any draft presented or
accepted under a Letter of Credit, Agent shall give notice of such payment to the other Lenders,
and each of the other Lenders hereby authorizes and requests Agent to advance for their respective
accounts, pursuant to the terms hereof, their respective shares of any such payment based upon
their respective Pro Rata Shares. If a Default has occurred hereunder and if such drawing is not
paid by the Borrowers in immediately available funds prior to the close of business of First Bank
on the date of such drawing, Agent shall promptly so notify the
other Lenders and each of the other Lenders agrees to immediately reimburse First Bank and/or Agent
in immediately available funds for its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such drawing, plus interest
calculated on its Pro Rata Share of such amount at a rate per annum equal to the effective rate
charged to the Agent for overnight federal funds transactions with member banks of the Federal
Reserve System calculated from the date of such payment by First Bank to but excluding the date of
reimbursement by such other Lender and on an actual-day, 360-day year basis. Each of the other
Lenders will be entitled to its Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Commitment Fees paid by any
of the Borrowers, but such other Lenders shall have no right to share in any issuance fees or any
other fees paid by any of the Borrowers to Agent in connection with any of the Letters of Credit.

          (e) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any of the Letter of Credit
Applications to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default under this Agreement (or upon any of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.1(c) above to
the extent required therein), at the election of the Required Lenders, Borrowers shall, upon the
Required Lenders’ demand, deliver to Agent cash, or other collateral acceptable to the Required
Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion, having a value, as determined by the Required
Lenders, at least equal to aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Any
such collateral and/or any amounts received by Agent for such Letters of Credit shall be held by
Agent in a separate account at Agent appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in
relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by Agent as collateral security
for the payment of Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder. Cash amounts delivered to Agent pursuant to
the foregoing requirements of this Section shall be invested, at the request and for the account of
Borrowers, in investments of a type and nature and with a term acceptable to the Required Lenders.
Such amounts, including, in the case of cash, amounts invested in the manner set forth above, any
interest realized thereon, may be applied to reimburse Agent, First Bank and/or any of the other
Lenders for drawings or payments under or pursuant to the Letters of Credit which First Bank or
Agent has paid, or if no such reimbursement is required to the payment of

- 24 -

 

such other of Borrowers’ Obligations as the Required Lenders shall determine. Any amounts
remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section after the payment in
full of all of Borrowers’ Obligations and the expiration or cancellation of all of the Letters of
Credit, or upon the waiver of such Event of Default by the Agent and the Lenders, shall be returned
to the applicable Borrower (after deduction of First Bank’s and Agent’s expenses, if any).

     3.4 Interest Rates and Payments.

          (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Revolving Credit Loan
shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus Applicable
Margin, which rate shall fluctuate as and when said Prime Rate or said Applicable Margin shall
change. Accrued interest on all Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the
tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such date after such Loan is made.
In addition, all accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on the last day of the Term
hereof, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise.

          (b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Swing Line Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swing
Line Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus Applicable
Margin, which rate shall fluctuate as and when said Prime Rate or said Applicable Margin shall
change. Accrued interest on all Swing Line Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the tenth
(10th) day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such date after such Swing Line Loan is
made. In addition, all accrued interest on all Swing Line Loans shall be payable on the last day
of the Term hereof, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise.

          (c) At the option of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the principal balance of and, to the extent permitted by law, any overdue
interest on any Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until
paid, at a rate per annum equal to Three and Three-Fourths Percent (3.75%) over and above the Prime
Rate, fluctuating as and when said Prime Rate shall change, and (ii) any Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid, at a rate per annum equal to Three and
Three-Fourths Percent (3.75%) over and above the Prime Rate, fluctuating as and when said Prime
Rate shall change. From and after the maturity of the Notes, whether by reason of acceleration or
otherwise, the unpaid principal balance of each Loan shall bear interest until paid, payable on
demand, at a rate per annum equal to Three and Three-Fourths Percent (3.75%) over and above the
Prime Rate, fluctuating as aforesaid.

          (d) Interest with respect to all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).

          (e) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder as selected
by Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.2. The Agent shall give prompt notice to Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone, telecopy, telex or cable of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (f) Regardless of any provision contained in any Transaction Document, neither Agent nor any
Lender shall ever be entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as
interest on all or any part of the Borrowers’ Obligations, any amount in excess of the Maximum
Rate, and, if Agent or Lenders ever do so, then such excess shall be deemed a partial prepayment of
principal and treated hereunder as such and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrowers.
In determining if

- 25 -

 

the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall, to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) treat all Loans as but a single extension of
credit (and Agent, Lenders and Borrowers agree that such is the case), (b) characterize any
nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof and any funding loss, make-whole amount, prepayment premium or
fee payable as a result thereof, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount
of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Borrowers’ Obligations. However, if the
Borrowers’ Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated
term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
amount of interest payable at the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall refund such excess in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof, and, in such event, Lenders shall not, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be subject to any penalties provided by any applicable usury or other
laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate. For purposes of this Section 3.4(f) “Maximum Rate” shall mean, for each Lender, the
maximum non-usurious rate of interest which, under applicable law, such Lender is permitted to
contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive on the Borrower’s Obligations.

     3.5 Place and Manner of Payment. Both principal and interest on the Loans and all
fees due hereunder and under any of the other Transaction Documents payable to any Lender shall be
paid in lawful currency of the United States, in federal or other immediately available funds, at
Agent’s banking office at 560 Anglum Road, Hazelwood, Missouri 63042. The Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender in immediately available funds its ratable share of each such payment
received by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for the account of such Lenders.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or of fees shall be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or
otherwise, interest thereon, at the then applicable rate, shall be payable for such extended time.

     3.6 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers may, upon
one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to Agent, terminate entirely at any time, or
proportionately reduce from time to time on a pro rata basis among the Lenders based on their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments, by an aggregate amount of $2,500,000.00 or any larger
multiple of $500,000.00, the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Commitments as specified by
Borrowers in such notice to Agent; provided, however, that (i) at no time shall the Revolving
Credit Commitments be reduced to a figure less than the total of the outstanding principal amount
of all Revolving Credit Loans plus the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) at
no time shall the Revolving Credit Commitments be reduced to a figure greater than zero but less
than $10,000,000.00, and (iii) any such termination or reduction shall be permanent and the
Borrowers shall have no right to thereafter reinstate or increase, as the case may be, the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender.

     3.7 Unused Fees. From the date hereof to but excluding the last day of the Term
hereof, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to the Agent, for distribution to the
Lenders, a quarterly nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on the unused portion of
the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Lender (determined by subtracting (A) such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings (excluding the Swing Line Loans, except
that the outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be included in the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings
in calculating the fee due First Bank hereunder) determined for each day during such fiscal quarter
or portion there of, from (B) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and dividing the sum of
such amounts by 90, or by such lesser number of days in any partial fiscal quarter) at the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate. Said Commitment Fee shall be (i) calculated on a daily basis, (ii)
payable
quarterly in arrears on each July 15, October 15, January 15 and April 15 following any such fiscal
quarter-end during the Term hereof, commencing July

- 26 -

 

15, 2006, and on the last day of the Term
hereof and (iii) calculated on an actual day, 360-day year basis. Payment of the Commitment Fee is
a condition precedent to the Lenders’ obligations to make any new Loans hereunder.

     3.8 Method of Making Interest and Other Payments. Each of the Borrowers hereby
authorizes Agent, without prior demand upon Borrowers, to charge or cause to be charged any
Borrower’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ bank accounts at First Bank to the extent there are
balances of immediately available funds therein, in an amount equal to the amount of accrued
interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable by Borrowers under this Agreement (other than
the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans), or the Agent may, at
its option, deem interest and other amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement (other than
the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans) to be paid by causing
the Lenders to make a Loan to Borrowers in such amount(s) under Section 3.1(a) or (e), provided
that in the event Borrowers’ account balances of immediately available funds and any amounts then
available to be advanced to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 are insufficient to pay
all accrued interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable by Borrowers shall not relieve
Borrowers of their joint and several obligations to pay such amount on the dates when due. The
Agent agrees to give Borrowers prompt written notice of any amount so charged to any bank account
of any Borrower or any such Subsidiary with First Bank or any Revolving Credit Loans made by the
Lenders or Swing Line Loans made by First Bank under this Section 3.8.

     3.9 Maturity. All principal, interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to
the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans which are not paid prior thereto shall be due
and payable on the last day of the Term hereof, whether by reason of the expiration thereof,
acceleration or otherwise.

     3.10 Voluntary Prepayments.

          (a) Borrowers may, upon notice to First Bank specifying that they are paying a portion of
their Swing Line Loans, pay without penalty or premium such Swing Line Loans in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, by paying the principal amount to be paid.

          (b) Borrowers may, upon notice to Agent specifying that they are paying a portion of their
Revolving Credit Loans, pay such Revolving Credit Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time
in part, by paying the principal amount to be paid.

          (c) Upon receipt of a notice of payment pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment and
such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrowers.

     3.11 Swing Line Loan Settlement After Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, unless otherwise requested by First Bank, the Agent shall promptly notify the other
Lender(s) in writing of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans from First Bank then
outstanding, and each of the other Lender(s) hereby irrevocably agrees to immediately purchase from
First Bank with immediately available funds its ratable share of the amount of all such Swing Line
Loans (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments), plus accrued and
unpaid interest calculated on such Pro Rata Share of such principal amount at a rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate plus Applicable Margin. Following such advance by each Lender to First
Bank of its Pro Rata Share of any such Swing Line Loans pursuant to the preceding sentence, each
such Lender shall thereafter receive its Pro Rata Share of all principal payments, interest
payments, fees and other amounts due with respect to such Swing Line Loans as and when paid by
Borrowers to First Bank hereunder. Such Swing Line Loans shall thereafter be evidenced

- 27 -

 

by the
Revolving Credit Notes of each of the Lender(s). First Bank agrees that, during the continuance of
any Default, it will not make any Swing Line Loan to any of the Borrowers (provided First Bank has
received notice in writing of such Event of Default from any Borrower, any other Lender or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

     3.12 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that
any Lender shall directly or indirectly obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, through the realization,
collection, sale or liquidation of any collateral or otherwise) on account of or in respect of any
of the Loans or any of the other Borrowers’ Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share of all such
payments, such Lenders shall immediately purchase from the other Lenders participations in the
Loans or other Borrowers’ Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such
other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that the Lenders share such
payment rateably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the outstanding Loans and
other Borrowers’ Obligations. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if any such excess
payment to a Lender shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, the other Lenders which shall
have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of participation theretofore sold, or
otherwise, return its share of that benefit to the Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded
or otherwise restored. Borrowers agree that any Lenders so purchasing a participation in the Loans
or other Borrowers’ Obligations to the other Lenders may exercise all rights of setoff, banker’s
lien and/or counterclaim as fully as if such Lenders were a holder of such Loan or other Borrowers’
Obligations in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section
3.12 would apply, such Lenders shall, to the extent practicable, exercise their rights in respect
of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this
Section 3.12 to share in the benefits of any recovery of such secured claim.

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation; (b) has all
requisite corporate power and all governmental and regulatory licenses, authorizations, consents
and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted except such licenses,

Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents to which they are parties are within the
corporate powers of each of the Borrowers, and have been duly authorized by all necessary action of

     5.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents to
which they are parties have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other

following financial statements, certified by an Authorized Officer of each of the Borrowers: (1)

governmental, regulatory or administrative body, agency or official as to which there exists a
reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination and which determination could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary of any of the
Borrowers is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decision or decree of any
court, arbitrator or any governmental, regulatory or administrative body, agency or official, a
default under which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

- 32 -

 

     5.6 Pension and Welfare Plans. Each Pension Plan complies in all material respects
with all applicable statutes and governmental rules and regulations; no Reportable Event has
occurred and is continuing with respect to any Pension Plan; none of the Borrowers nor any ERISA
Affiliate nor any Subsidiary of any of the Borrowers has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan in a
“complete withdrawal” or a “partial withdrawal” as defined in Sections 4203 or 4205 of ERISA,

Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any Subsidiary of Borrowers is a “contributing sponsor” as

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary of the

Borrowers, adequate.

     5.8 Subsidiaries. None of the Borrowers has any Subsidiaries other than as identified

Agreement, none of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary of any of the Borrowers is a party to any
contract or agreement or subject to any charter or other organizational restriction which could
reasonably be

- 33 -

 

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and which is not disclosed on Borrowers’
financial statements heretofore submitted to Agent and the Lenders. None of the execution and
delivery by Borrowers of the Transaction Documents, the consummation of the transactions therein
contemplated or the compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation,

Incorporation or Bylaws, PM Resources’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Virbac AH’s Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws, of Francodex’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or Delmarva’s

the creation or imposition of any Lien pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement,
document, instrument or undertaking (other than in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
pursuant to the Transaction Documents). No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental,
regulatory, administrative or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to
authorize, or is required in connection with, the execution, delivery or performance of, or the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Transaction Documents, except
for those which have been obtained prior to the date hereof.

charges imposed upon them or any of their Property; provided, however, that none of the Borrowers
nor any Subsidiary shall be

- 38 -

 

required to pay any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge

Property; provided, however, that none of the Borrowers nor any such Subsidiary shall be required
to pay any such trade account payable, accrual or claim the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Borrowers or such Subsidiaries, as
the case may be, shall pay or cause to be paid all such trade accounts payable, accruals and claims
forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any Lien which is attached as security
therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an appropriate bond in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Required Lenders.

          (f) Existence. Each of the Borrowers will, and they will cause each Subsidiary of any
such Borrower to, do all things necessary to (i) preserve and keep in full force and effect at all
times its corporate, limited liability company or other existence and all permits, licenses,
franchises and other rights material to its business and (ii) be duly qualified to do business and
be in good standing in all jurisdictions where the nature of its business or its ownership of
Property requires such qualification except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to qualify
or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (g) Maintenance of Property. Each of the Borrowers will, and they will cause each
Subsidiary of any such Borrower to, at all times, preserve and maintain all of the Property used or
useful in the conduct of its business in good condition, working order and repair, ordinary wear

the foregoing, Borrowers will not, and they will not cause or permit any Subsidiary
or any ERISA Affiliate to:

Section 4975 of the Code;

     (ii) permit any Pension Plan maintained by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA

     (iii) terminate any Pension Plan in a manner which could result in the imposition of a

     (iv) take any action which would constitute a complete or partial withdrawal from a
Multi-Employer Plan within the meaning of Sections 4203 or 4205 of Title IV of ERISA.

     Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 6.1(j) to the contrary, an act by any
Borrower or any Subsidiary shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 6.1(j)
unless the Required Lenders determine in good faith that said action, individually or cumulatively
with other acts of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, has or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     Borrowers shall have the affirmative obligation hereunder to report to Agent any of those acts
identified in subparagraphs (i) through (iv) hereof, regardless of whether said act does or is
likely to cause a significant adverse financial effect upon any of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
of any of the Borrowers, and failure by Borrowers to report such act promptly upon any such
Borrower’s becoming aware of the existence thereof shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

          (k) Maintenance of Books and Records. The Borrowers and each Subsidiary of the
Borrowers will maintain its books and records in accordance with GAAP and in which true, correct
and complete entries will be made of all of its dealings and transactions.

          (l) Further Assurances. Borrowers will execute and deliver to Agent, at any time and
from time to time, any and all further agreements, documents and instruments, and take any and all
further actions which may be required under applicable law, or which Agent or the Required Lenders
may from time to time reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

          (m) Environmental Matters. Borrowers shall give Agent and the Lenders prompt written
notice of (i) any Environmental Claim or any other action or investigation with respect to the
existence or potential existence of any Hazardous Substances instituted or threatened with respect
to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of the Properties or facilities owned, leased or operated
by any Borrower or any Subsidiary which, if determined adversely to any Borrower or any Subsidiary,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) any condition or occurrence
on any of the Properties or facilities owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary
which constitutes a violation of any Environmental Laws or which gives rise to a reporting
obligation or requires removal or remediation under any Environmental Laws. Within ninety (90)
days after the giving of any such notice, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent and each of the Lenders
Borrowers’ plan with respect to removal or remediation and Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
take all action which is reasonably necessary in connection with

- 40 -

 

such action, investigation,
condition or occurrence in accordance with such plan with due diligence and to complete such
removal or remediation as promptly as possible and in all events within the time required by any
Environmental Laws or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. Borrowers shall promptly
provide Agent and the Lenders with copies of all documentation relating thereto, and such other
information with respect to environmental matters as Agent or the Required Lenders may request from
time to time.

          (n) Insurance. Each of the Borrowers will, and they will cause each Subsidiary of any
such Borrower to, insure all of its Property of the character usually insured by Persons engaged in

insured against by such Persons, unless higher limits or coverage are reasonably required in
writing by the Required Lenders, and carry adequate liability insurance and other insurance of a
kind and in an amount generally carried by Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses
similarly situated, unless higher limits or coverage are reasonably required in writing by the
Required Lenders. All insurance required by this Section 6.1(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI
or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded a similar rating by another nationally or
internationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not
then in the business of rating insurers or rating foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may
from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders. All such insurance may be subject to reasonable deductible amounts. UNLESS BORROWERS PROVIDE
EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS, LENDER MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT BORROWERS’ EXPENSE TO PROTECT LENDER’S INTEREST IN THE
COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT BORROWERS’ INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT
LENDER PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT BORROWERS MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST
BORROWERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. BORROWERS MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY
LENDER, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT BORROWERS HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. IF LENDER PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE
COLLATERAL, BORROWERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE
PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES LENDER MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF
INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS
OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE BORROWERS’ OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE

be unreasonably withheld, and which successor Agent shall be a commercial bank organized under the
laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any such removal,
the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to such former Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 9. GENERAL.

     9.1 No Waiver. No failure or delay by Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The remedies
provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. Nothing herein contained shall in any way affect the right of Agent or
any of the Lenders to exercise any statutory or common law right of banker’s lien or setoff.

     9.2 Right of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each of the Lenders is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice
to the Borrowers (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers) and to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held by any such Lender and any and all other
indebtedness at any time owing by any such Lender to or for the credit or account of any of the
Borrowers against any and all of the Borrowers’ Obligations irrespective of whether or not Agent or
any such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or under any of the other Transaction
Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Such Lender agrees to
promptly notify Borrowers after
any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Lenders
under this Section 9.2 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of setoff) which Lenders may have. Nothing contained in this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document shall impair the right of each of the Lenders to exercise any right
of setoff or counterclaim they may have against any of the Borrowers and to apply the amount
subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any of the Borrowers unrelated to this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

     9.3 Cost and Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally agree, whether or not any Loan
is made hereunder, to pay Agent upon demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and
Attorneys’ Fees of Agent in connection with the preparation, documentation, negotiation and
execution of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) all reasonable
recording, filing, search, title insurance, surveying and appraisal fees incurred in connection
with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses and all Attorneys’ Fees of Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation of
any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Event of Default or alleged Event of
Default hereunder, (iv) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses and all
Attorneys’ Fees incurred by Agent and each of the Lenders in connection with such Event of Default
and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom and (v) all other Attorneys’
Fees incurred by Agent relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents subsequent to the date hereof. The Borrowers further jointly and
severally agree to pay or reimburse Agent and each of the Lenders for any stamp or other taxes
which may be payable with respect to the execution, delivery, recording and/or filing of this
Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreements, the Deeds of Trust, the Patent, Trademark and
License Security Agreements, the Pledge Agreements or any of the other Transaction Documents. All
of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.3 shall survive the satisfaction and
payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In the event Agent or
any Lender claims any amounts pursuant to this Section 9.3, Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, shall provide to Borrowers an itemized statement of amounts claimed.

     9.4 Environmental Indemnity. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to
indemnify Agent and each of the Lenders and hold Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and

- 53 -

 

against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses and claims of any and
every kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, court costs and Attorneys’ Fees and expenses)
which at any time or from time to time may be paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against,
Agent or any of the Lenders for, with respect to or as a direct or indirect result of the violation
by any of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of the Borrowers of any Environmental Laws; or with
respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage,
leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, properties utilized by any of the Borrowers
and/or any Subsidiary of the Borrowers in the conduct of its businesses into or upon any land, the
atmosphere or any watercourse, body of water or wetland, of any Hazardous Materials (including,
without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted
or arising under the Environmental Laws), except, in each case, for losses, liabilities, damages,
injuries, costs, expenses and claims of Agent or any Lender caused by Agent’s or such Lender’s (as
the case may be) gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction; and the provisions of and undertakings and indemnification set out in this Section
9.4 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.

     9.5 General Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section
9.3, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally agree to indemnify, pay and hold Agent,
each of the Lenders and any other holder(s) of the Notes, and the officers, directors, employees,
agents and affiliates of any of them (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against
any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection
with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or
not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Indemnitees, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any
of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreement, document or instrument executed and
delivered by any of the Borrowers or any other Obligor in connection herewith or therewith, the
statements contained in any commitment letters delivered by Agent or any of the Lenders, the
Lenders’ agreements to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds of any
Loan hereunder (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that the Borrowers
shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to indemnified liabilities, or for
expenses under Section 9.3 relating to any such indemnified liabilities, arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in
the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the
Indemnitees or any of them. The provisions of the undertakings and indemnification set out in this
Section 9.5 shall survive satisfaction and payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     9.6 Authority to Act. Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to act on any notices
and instructions (telephonic or written) believed by Agent or any such Lender to be genuine and to
have been delivered by any Person authorized to act on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant hereto,
regardless of whether such notice or instruction was in fact delivered by a Person authorized to
act on behalf of the Borrowers, and the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify
Agent and each of the Lenders and hold Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any
and all losses and expenses, if any, ensuing from any such action, other than for such losses or
expenses directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

- 54 -

THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE COURT OR ANY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COURT
SITTING IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI, AS AGENT MAY ELECT, IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO THE EXTENT
SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION EXISTS. THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT TO SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HELD AND DETERMINED IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS. EACH
OF THE BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH
EACH SUCH BORROWER MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND THE BORROWERS FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT

AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.7. EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION.

     9.9 Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records. Agent’s and Lenders’ books and records
showing the account between the Borrowers and Agent or any of the Lenders shall be admissible in
evidence in any action or proceeding and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof.

     9.10 Governing Law; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, the Notes, the Security
Agreements, the Deed of Trust executed by PM Resources, the Patent, Trademark and License Security

- 55 -

 

Agreements, the Pledge Agreements and all of the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Missouri. Any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreements, the Deeds of Trust, the Patent, Trademark and
License Security Agreements, the Pledge Agreements or any of the other Transaction Documents may be
amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by
Borrowers and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent in its capacity as
Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless
signed by all of the Lenders, (i) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, (ii)
increase the Swing Line Commitment of First Bank, (iii) reduce the principal amount of or rate of
interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iv) postpone the date fixed for any payment of
principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (v) release all or substantially all of
the collateral security or any guaranty for any Loan hereunder, (vi) change the definition of
Required Lenders, (vii) amend this Section 9.10, or (viii) reduce the minimum amount of an
assignment permitted under Section 9.12.

     9.11 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrowers may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or delegate any of their respective obligations
under this Agreement. Any of the Lenders may sell participations in its Notes and its rights under
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and in the Collateral in whole or in part to any
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof without the
prior consent of Borrowers so long as each agreement pursuant to which any such participation is
granted provides that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document (the participants’ rights against the Lender granting its participation to be
those set forth in the Participation Agreement between the participant and such Lender), and such
selling Lender shall retain the sole right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Each such
participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the yield protection provisions hereof to the
extent any Lender would have been so entitled had not such participation been sold, but only to the
extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrowers does not exceed the cost which Borrowers would
have incurred in respect of the applicable Lender absent such participation.

          (b) Any Lender which, in accordance with Section 9.11(a), grants a participation in any of its
rights under this Agreement or its Notes shall give prompt notice describing the details thereof to
the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers.

          (c) Unless otherwise agreed to by Borrowers in writing, no Lender shall, as between Borrowers
and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of such
Lender’s granting of a participation in all or any part of such Lender’s Notes or all or any part
of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement.

     9.12 Assignment Agreements. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Lenders
or other financial institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Notes in a minimum amount of at least
$5,000,000.00, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (an “Assignment
Agreement”) executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the
subscribed consent of Borrowers and the Agent; provided, however, that (i) if any Assignee is an
affiliate of such transferor Lender or, immediately prior to such assignment, a Lender, no consent
shall be required and (ii) if any Event of Default under this Agreement

- 56 -

 

has occurred and is
continuing no consent of the Borrowers to such assignment shall be required, which Assignment
Agreement shall specify in each instance the portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes
which is to be assigned to such Assignee and the portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the
assignor Lender and the credit risk incidental to the Letters of Credit (which portions shall be
equivalent) to be assumed by the Assignee, provided that nothing herein contained shall restrict,
or be deemed to require any consent as a condition to, or require payment of any fee in connection
with, any sale, discount or pledge by any Lender of any Note or other obligation hereunder to a
federal reserve bank. Upon the execution of each Assignment Agreement by the assignor Lender, the
Assignee and the Borrowers and consent thereto by the Agent (i) such Assignee shall thereupon
become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the
amount set forth in such Assignment Agreement and with all the rights, powers and obligations
afforded a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assignor Lender shall have no further liability for funding
the portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by such Assignee and (iii) the address for
notices to such Assignee shall be as specified in the Assignment Agreement, and the Borrowers
shall, in exchange for the cancellation of the Notes held by the assignor Lender, execute and deliver
Notes to the Assignee in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment and new Notes to the
assignor Lender in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the
reduction occasioned by such assignment, all such Notes to constitute “Notes” for all purposes of
this Agreement, and there shall be paid to the Agent, as a condition to such assignment, an
administration fee of $3,000.00 plus any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it in
effecting such assignment, such fee to be paid by the assignor Lender or the Assignee as they may
mutually agree, but under no circumstances shall any portion of such fee be payable by or charged
to the Borrowers.

     9.13 Confidential Information. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable precautions to
keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential
information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any nonpublic
information supplied to such Lender by Borrowers or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 9.13
shall prohibit or limit the disclosure by such Lender of any such information (a) to the extent
required by any statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or judicial process, (b) to any governmental or
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over such Lender as required by law, regulation or legal
process, (c) to any professional advisors, including counsel and accountants, for such Lender in
connection with the provision of advice or other services to such Lender with respect to any of the
Borrowers’ Obligations, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (d) to any bank
examiners or auditors, (e) in connection with any litigation to which such Lender is a party, (f)
in connection with the enforcement of such Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, any
of the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents or (g) to any assignee or participant (or
prospective assignee or participant) provided that such assignee or participant agrees in writing
to be bound by the terms hereof; and provided further, that in no event shall any Lender be
obligated or required to return any materials furnished to such Lender by Borrowers or any
Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Lender shall have any liability to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any shareholder, partner,
joint venturer, manager, member, director, officer, employee or agent of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary by reason of, or in any way claimed to be related to, any disclosure by such Lender of
any information with respect to any Borrower or any Subsidiary except as the same results from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order.

     9.14 References; Headings for Convenience. Unless otherwise specified herein, all
references herein to Section numbers refer to Section numbers of this Agreement, all references
herein to Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F and G refer to annexed Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F
and G which are hereby incorporated

- 57 -

 

herein by reference and all references herein to
Schedules 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 6.2(h) refer to annexed
Schedules 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 6.2(h) which are hereby
incorporated herein by reference. The Section headings are furnished for the convenience of the
parties and are not to be considered in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

     9.15 Subsidiary Reference. Any reference herein to a Subsidiary or Consolidated
Subsidiary of the Borrowers, and any financial definition, ratio, restriction or other provision of
this Agreement which is stated to be applicable to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or
Consolidated Subsidiaries or which is to be determined on a “consolidated” or “consolidating”
basis, shall apply only to the extent the Borrowers have any Subsidiaries or Consolidated
Subsidiaries and, where applicable, to the extent any such Subsidiaries are consolidated with the
Borrowers for financial reporting purposes.

     9.16 Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of each of the Borrowers and their respective successors and Agent and each of the Lenders and
their respective successors and assigns. The Borrowers may not assign or delegate any of their
rights or obligations under this Agreement.

     9.17 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This notice is provided pursuant to
Section 432.047, R.S.Mo. As used herein, “creditor” means Agent and each of the Lenders, the
“credit agreement” means this Agreement, and “this writing” means this Agreement, all guaranties
executed by any other Obligor, and any other agreement executed in connection herewith or
therewith. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM
ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE,
REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (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. This Agreement, as amended in writing from time to time, embodies the entire agreement
and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(oral or written) relating to the subject matter hereof.

     9.18 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein that may be given effect without the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     9.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

     9.20 Resurrection of the Borrowers’ Obligations. To the extent that Agent or any of
the Lenders receives any payment on account of any of the Borrowers’ Obligations, and any such
payment(s) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment(s) received, the Borrowers’ Obligations or part thereof intended to
be satisfied and any and all Liens upon or pertaining to any Property or assets of any of the
Borrowers and theretofore created and/or existing in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
as security for the payment of the Borrowers’ Obligations

- 58 -

 

shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by Agent or any such Lender and
applied on account of the Borrowers’ Obligations.

     9.21 U. S. Dollars. All currency references set forth herein, in any other
Transaction Documents and in any transactions referenced herein or therein shall be denominated in
Dollars of the United States of America.

     9.22 Miscellaneous. All references in the Transaction Documents to the Loan Agreement
and any other references of similar import shall henceforth mean this Agreement, as the same may
from time to time be amended, modified, extended,
renewed or restated. This Agreement is an amendment, restatement and continuation of, and not a
novation of, the Original Loan Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Loan Agreement this 29th day of June, 2006.

SCHEDULE 5.5

Litigation

1. A class action lawsuit filed in Delaware on Jan. 18, 2006 by Richard Abrons, Myron Cohn & Martin
Cohn on behalf of the public shareholders of Virbac Corporation. The defendants are Virbac S.A.
and its wholly owned subsidiary Interlab S.A.S, as well as Virbac Corporation and its entire board
of individually named directors (Eric Maree, Pierre Pages, Michel Garaudet, Alec L. Poitevint, II,
Jean N. Willk and Richard W. Pickert).

2. A lawsuit has been threatened for which Virbac has accrued $130M. No lawsuit has been filed yet
but a customer that Virbac has not done business with for 1.5 years, Pennfield, sent a letter to
say they were considering a lawsuit. It stems from PM Resources supplying the same product to two
different customers. Pennfield claims that they lost part of their market share due to PM
Resources not adequately supplying the product. PM Resources states the reason for the delay was
due to Pennfield’s slow payment history.

3. On February 19, 2004, Richard Hreniuk and Peter Lindell, both Virbac shareholders, filed
separate similar lawsuits in the Court, derivatively on behalf of Virbac against Thomas L. Bell,
Pascal Boissy, Eric Maree, Pierre A. Pages, Alec L. Poitevint, II, and Jean Noel Willk, all current
or former members of Virbac’s Board of Directors, and Joseph A. Rougraff, a former officer of
Virbac (collectively, the “Derivative Individual Defendants”) and Virbac, as a nominal defendant.
These two lawsuits have been consolidated (the “Shareholder Derivative Action”). On March 1, 2005,
the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended shareholder derivative complaint (the “Amended
Derivative Complaint”), asserting claims against: defendants Bell and Rougraff for improper
financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”); all Derivative Individual
Defendants for gross mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust
enrichment; and defendant Boissy for breach of fiduciary duties due to alleged insider selling and
misappropriation of information. Virbac named as a nominal defendant in the Amended Derivative
Complaint.

     On July 25, 2005, the Court’s previously entered stay expired without the parties reaching a
settlement. The nominal defendant Virbac and the Derivative Individual Defendants filed a motions
to dismiss the Amended Derivative Complaint on August 15, 2005. The plaintiffs’ opposition brief
was filed on September 29, 2005, and defendants’ reply briefs were filed on October 24, 2005.

     On November 7, 2005, the parties reached a settlement in principle with respect to plaintiffs’
substantive claims and filed a notice advising the Court of the settlement in principle and
requesting that the Court hold in abeyance any rulings on the pending motions to dismiss. The
settlement in principle was subject to the execution of a written settlement and court approval.
After further negotiations and an additional mediation session, the parties were unable to agree on
the definitive terms of the settlement. On December 8, 2005, the Court was notified that a
definitive settlement could not be reached and was requested to reinstate the Derivative Individual
Defendants’ motions to dismiss. On December 15, 2005, the Court issued an order reinstating the
defendants’ motion to dismiss.

     On December 20, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended
Complaint (the “Second Amended Derivative Complaint”). The plaintiffs proposed Second Amended
Derivative Complaint includes the derivative claims described above and seeks to add a cause of
action on behalf of the plaintiffs and a putative class of Virbac shareholders against Virbac’s
current board of directors (including Richard W. Pickert and Michel Garaudet, who were not named
defendants in the Amended Derivative Complaint) and VBSA for breach of fiduciary duties relating to
VBSA’s proposal to

- 62 -

 

acquire Virbac’s remaining outstanding shares for $4.15 per share. The proposed Second Amended
Derivative Complaint seeks various forms of relief, including preliminarily and permanently
enjoining the proposed sale of Virbac shares to VBSA unless and until Virbac adopts and implements
a procedure to obtain the highest possible price for Virbac shareholders, including the formation
of an independent special committee to evaluate the proposal, money damages, including rescissory
damages to the extent that the sale has taken place, and the awarding of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’
fees and costs.

     On January 12, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File a Second
Amended Compliant. On March 20, 2006, in light of the plaintiffs’ filing of the Second Amended
Derivative Complaint, the Court denied the defendants ‘ previously filed motions to dismiss as
moot. However, these motions to dismiss can be refiled as to the Second Amended Derivative
Complaint. On March 20, 2006, the Court also entered a scheduling order (the “Scheduling Order”)
under which the Court set forth various deadlines, including a deadline for the completion of
discovery by September 29, 2006. In the Scheduling Order, the Court noted that if the parties
believe that the case should not proceed at this time in light of the possibility of a tender
offer, it would entertain a motion for stay and administrators closure of the action, or similar
motion.

     While Virbac intends to vigorously defend itself, Virbac cannot predict the final outcome of the
Shareholder Derivative Action at this time. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse
effect on Virbac’s financial condition and liquidity in the event that final settlement amounts
and/or judgment exceeds the limits of Virbac’s insurance policies or the Insurers decline to fund
such final settlement/judgment. To date, Virbac’s Insurers have provided coverage for the
submitted expenses incurred in defending the Shareholder Derivative Action as a claim under the
relevant policies.

4. On December 13, 2005, Virbac S. A. made a proposal to acquire the 39.7% outstanding Common Stock
not already owned by Virbac S. A. or its subsidiaries for $.15 per share in cash, representing an
aggregate all-cash purchase price of approximately $37.0 million (the {“Tender Offer Proposal”).

     On January 18, 2006, Richard Abrons, Myron Cohn and Martin Cohn filed a lawsuit in the
Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County (the “Delaware Court”) in their individual
capacities and as a purported class action on behalf of Virbac’s public shareholders against Eric
Maree, Pierre A. Pages, Michael Garaudet, Alec L. Poitevint, II, Jean Noel Wilik, Richard W.
Pickett and Virbac Corporation, Virbac S. A. and Interlab. The lawsuit asserts claims against
defendants Virbac S. A., Interlab, Maree, Pages and Garaudet for breach of fiduciary duty of
loyalty and unfair dealing, and defendants Wilik, Poitevint, II and Pickert for breach of fiduciary
duties of care and good faith. The plaintiffs, seek certification of the purported class, a
preliminary and permanent injunction against the consummation of the Tender Offer Proposal, an
order declaring the Tender Offer Proposal void and rescinding the Tender Offer Proposal, if it is
consummated, disgorgement of any profits or property received by the defendants as a result of
their alleged wrongful conduct, unspecified money damages plus interest thereon against all
defendants (jointly and severally), attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
lawsuit, and such other and further relief that the Delaware Court may deem just and proper. The
defendants believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend this matter.

Other Loans and Guaranties

     1. On an annual basis, Borrowers enter into certain agreements to finance their annual
insurance premiums. Such agreements have a term of less than one year. At January 1, 2006,
approximately $218,000 was due under such agreements.

     2. During 2003, Virbac purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of
Delmarva Laboratories, Inc. (“Delmarva”) for a base purchase price of $2.5 million in cash and an
additional contingent purchase consideration of up to $2.5 million. In accordance with SFAS No.
141, Virbac accounted for this transaction under the purchase method and recorded a liability of
approximately $2.2 million which represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the acquired
net assets over the initial cash payment. The purchase agreement provides that the contingent
consideration will be paid in increments based upon the achievement of several performance
thresholds of the products purchased. The various stated performance thresholds include the
registration and revenue goals for one of the product rights purchased, and gross profit milestones
within a specified time period for the other product rights purchased.

     3. Borrowers lease certain machinery under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at
various dates through September 2011. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as
of December 31, 2005 are as follows: 2006 $59M; 2007 $53M; 2008 $42M; 2009 $34M; 2010 $32M;
thereafter $25M.

SCHEDULE 5.14

Environmental and Health and Safety Matters

     PM Resources, Inc. is the subject of a Consent Order dated November 22, 1999, issued by the
Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri (“Consent Order”), requiring investigation and
remediation of historical contamination at its Bridgeton, Missouri property. As of December 31,
2005, approximately $635,000 of investigative and remediation costs have been incurred for which
Borrowers have been or will be reimbursed pursuant to a third party indemnity obligation.
Borrowers estimate that future investigative and remediation costs are approximately $279,000
through December 31, 2007, which is when remediation is expected to be complete. Borrowers expect
substantially all of the remaining investigative and remediation costs will be reimbursed under the
terms of the indemnity agreement, which is a formal and legally enforceable agreement, except for
$22,000, which represents Borrowers’ estimated remaining portion of the liability and is included
in the Borrowers’ Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005. Management believes that PM
Resources, Inc. is currently in substantial compliance with all applicable local, state and federal
environmental laws and regulations and resolution of the environmental issues contained in the
Consent Order will have no material effect on the Borrowers’ financial position, cash flows, or
results of operations.

ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT dated as of                     ,                      among [ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”), [ASSIGNEE] (the
“Assignee”), VIRBAC CORPORATION, PM RESOURCES, INC., ST. JON LABORATORIES, INC., FRANCODEX
LABORATORIES, INC., VIRBAC AH, INC., and DELMARVA LABORATORIES, INC. (collectively, the
“Borrowers”), and FIRST BANK, as Agent (the “Agent”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, this Assignment Agreement (this “Agreement”) relates to the Loan Agreement dated as
of June 29, 2006 among the Borrowers, the Assignor and the other Lenders party thereto, as Lenders,
and the Agent (the “Loan Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, as provided under the Loan Agreement, the Assignor has a Revolving Credit Commitment
to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed $                     (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”);

     WHEREAS, Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrowers by the Assignor under the Loan Agreement
in the aggregate principal amount of $                     are outstanding as of the date hereof; and

     WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor
under the Loan Agreement in respect of a                      percent (                    %) portion of its Revolving
Credit Commitment in the amount of $                     (the “Assigned Commitment”), together with a
corresponding portion of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit risk
participations, and its interest in all Collateral and Guarantees therefor, and the Assignee
proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the
Assignor on such terms;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of
the rights of the Assignor under the Loan Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Commitment, and
the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of
the Assignor under the Loan Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Commitment, including the
purchase from the Assignor of the corresponding portion of the principal amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans and risk participations in any Letters of Credit outstanding at the date hereof. Upon
the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee, the Borrowers and the Agent and
the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the
Assignee shall, as of the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the
obligations of a Lender under the Loan Agreement with a Revolving Credit Commitment of
$                    , and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date
hereof, each be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor released from

- 98 -

 

 

its obligations under the
Loan Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the Assignee. The assignment
provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.

     SECTION 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in
Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in federal funds the
amount heretofore agreed between them.1 It is understood that commitment and/or facility
fees accrued to the date hereof with respect to the Assigned Commitment, are for the account of the
Assignor and such fees accruing from and including the date hereof are for the account of the
Assignee. Each of the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under
the Loan Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same
for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s interest therein and shall
promptly pay the same to such other party.

     SECTION 4. Consent of the Borrowers and the Agent. This Agreement is conditioned
upon the consent of the Borrowers and the Agent pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Loan Agreement.
The execution of this Agreement by the Borrowers and the Agent is evidence of this consent.
Pursuant to, and subject to the requirements of, Section 9.12 the Borrowers agrees to execute and
deliver a Note payable to the order of the Assignee to evidence the assignment and assumption
provided for herein.

     SECTION 5. Nonreliance on Assignor. The Assignor makes no representation or warranty
in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect to, the solvency, financial
condition, or statements of the Borrowers, or the validity and enforceability of the obligations of
the Borrowers in respect of the Loan Agreement or any Note. The Assignee acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement
and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the business,
affairs and financial condition of the Borrowers.

     SECTION 6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri.

     SECTION 7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto
were upon the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by
their duly authorized officers or other representatives or agents as of the date first above
written.

BYLAWS

OF

VIRBAC CORPORATION

(Amended and Restated as of January 27, 2004)

ARTICLE
I — OFFICES

     Section 1. Business Offices. Virbac Corporation (the “Company”), may have such
offices and branch offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) may designate from time to time.

     Section 2. Registered Office. The Company shall maintain a registered office in the
State of Delaware, which may be changed from time to time by the Board.

ARTICLE
II — STOCKHOLDERS

     Section 1. Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the
“Annual Meeting”) shall be held subsequent to the end of each fiscal year of the Company, on such
date and at such hour as the Board shall annually determine. At each Annual Meeting, the
stockholders entitled to vote shall elect a Board of Directors, or class thereof, and they may
transact any such other corporate business as shall be stated in the notice of the Annual Meeting.

     Section 2. Special Meetings. Special Meetings of the Stockholders of the Company
(each, a “Special Meeting”) may be called by the Board or the President of the Company or by the
holders of not less than one-half of all the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting.
No business shall be transacted at any Special Meeting unless such business is stated in the
notice of the meeting as one of the purposes of that Special Meeting.

     Section 3. Place and Time of Meeting. The Board shall designate the place and time of
any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting. The place so designated may be either within or without the
State of Delaware, as the Board may choose.

     Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Notice of a meeting, stating the place, day, and hour of
such meeting and, in the case of a Special Meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting
is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) calendar days nor more than sixty (60)
calendar days before the date of such meeting, by written, telegraphic, or any other means of
communication, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the other person(s)
calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed,
such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to
the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Company, with
postage thereon prepaid.

- 105 -

 

when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it
appears on the stock transfer books of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid.

     Section 5. Notice of Adjourned Meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time
or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and
place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment, a new
record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall then be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At an adjourned
meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of
the meeting.

     Section 6. Waiver of Notice of Meeting of Stockholders. Whenever any notice is
required to be given to any stockholder of the Company under the provisions of any statute, or
under the provisions of the By-Laws, a waiver thereof signed by the person(s) entitled to such
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such
notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when the person attends the meeting for the expressed purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transactions of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any Annual
Meeting or Special Meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

     Section 7. Fixing the Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders
entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or
stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of
stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board shall fix in advance a date as the record
date for any such determination of stockholders such date in any case to be not more than sixty
(60) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of
stockholders is to be taken and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10)
days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders
is to be taken.

     When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been
made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof,
unless the Board fixed a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

     All notice and record periods established herein shall be adjusted where required to conform
to any prescribed periods now or hereafter provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     Section 8. Stockholder Quorum and Action. A majority of the shares entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except
where these By-Laws require action to be taken by the holders of more than a majority of the shares
then entitled to vote. The stockholders present at a

- 106 -

 

duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

     If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless
otherwise provided by law or these By-Laws.

     Section 9. List of Stockholders. The Secretary of the Company shall prepare and make
available at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, as required by statute.

     Section 10. Voting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitled to vote shall be
entitled to one vote upon each manner submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Each
outstanding share of Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall be entitled to the number of votes as
provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or in any Designation of Rights and
Preferences applicable to the class or series of preferred stock and the matter to be voted upon.

     Section 11. Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders,
or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may authorize
any other person(s) to act for him by proxy. However, no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon
after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

     A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and
only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.
A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an
interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Company generally.

     Section 12. Organization. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the
Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, any Vice
President, or in their absence, by a chairman chosen by a majority of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy. The secretary, an Assistant Secretary,
or in their absence, any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of
the meeting.

     Section 13. Action by Stockholders Without a Meeting. Except as may otherwise be
limited by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken
at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting
forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than
the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt written notice shall be
given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. The notice shall fully summarize the
material features of the authorized action and, if the action be a merger, consolidation, or

- 107 -

 

sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters’ rights are provided by law, the notice
shall contain a clear statement of the rights of stockholders dissenting therefrom.

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

     Section 1. Powers. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the
authority of, and the property, business, and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the
direction of, the Board of Directors.

     Section 2. Number, Tenure, and Obligation. The number of directors of the Company
shall be not less than five (5) nor more than thirteen (13). From time to time, the number of
directors may be increased by stockholder action or by resolution of a majority of the directors
then in office.

     Section 3. Election of Directors. Except as may otherwise be provided in the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or in any Designation of Rights and Preferences of any
class or series of Preferred Stock, directors shall be elected at the Annual Meeting by the
affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote for
the election of directors. If the annual election of directors is not held on the day designated
by the Board for any Annual Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board may cause the
election to be held at a Special Meeting specifically called for that purpose.

     Section 4. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board shall be held without
other notice than this By-Law immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual election of
directors. The Board may, from time to time, by resolution appoint the time and place, either
within or without the State of Delaware, for holding other regular meetings of the Board, if by it
deemed advisable. Such regular meetings shall thereupon be held at the time and place so
appointed, without the giving of any notice with regard thereto.

     Section 5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board shall be held whenever
called by the Chairman, the President, or any two directors. The person(s) authorized to call
special meetings of the Board may fix any place, either within or without the State of Delaware,
and any tune, as the place and time for holding any special meeting of the Board, called by him,
her, or them.

     Section 6. Notice of Special Meeting. Notice to a director of any special meeting may
be given in writing by U.S. mail or facsimile transmission to the residence or place of business of
the director, as shown on the books of the Company, not less than five (5) calendar days before the
day on which the meeting is to be held. Alternatively, notice to a director of any special meeting
may be given by delivering the same to such director personally or by conveying the same
information to such director by way of telephone not later than two (2) days before the day of such
meeting. If mailed, such

- 108 -

 

notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to
the director at such director’s residence or place of business with postage thereon prepaid.
Except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws, or as may be indicated in the notice thereof, any and
all business may be conducted at any special meeting.

     When a special meeting of the Board is adjourned to another time and place, no notice of the
adjourned meeting need to be given if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

     Section 7. Waiver of Notice. A director may waive the requirement of notice of a
special meeting of the Board by signing a waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting.
The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and
a waiver of any and all objections to the place or time of such meeting or the manner in which it
has been called or convened, except when the director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any
objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of
the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

     Section 8. Quorum and Action. Except as otherwise provided by these By-Laws or the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors then in office
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, but if less
than such majority is present at the meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the
meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained.

     Directors shall be deemed present at a meeting of the Board if a conference telephone, or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can
hear each other, is used.

     The affirmative vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be the act of the Board, except as otherwise provided by these By-Laws or the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

     Section 9. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Company who is present at a
meeting of its Board at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have
asserted to the action taken unless he votes against such action, or abstains from voting in
respect thereto because of an asserted conflict of interest.

     Section 10. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by
the Board at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors then in office, and filed in the minutes
of the proceedings of the Board. Any action required or permitted to be taken by any Committee of
the Board at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if such a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, shall be signed by

- 109 -

 

all of the members of such Committee then in office, and filed in the minutes of the proceedings
of such Committee and the Board.

     Section 11. Interested Transactions. No contract or other transaction between the
Company and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Company and any other
corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors
or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable
solely for this reason, or solely because such director or officer is present at or participates
in the meeting of the Board or a committee thereof, which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such
contract or transaction or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

	 	(a)	 	The material facts as to such relationship or interest and as to the contract
or transaction are disclosed or known to the Board or committee, and the
Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by
the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even
though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or
transaction are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote
thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good
faith by vote of the stockholders; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	The contract or transaction is fair to the Company as of the time it is
authorized, approved, or ratified, by the Board, a committee, or the
stockholders.

     Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a
meeting of the Board or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such contract
or transaction.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction required to be publicly disclosed by the
Company pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K shall be void unless the audit committee of the
Board (or another independent body of the Board) reviews such transaction for potential conflict
of interest situations and expressly approves such transaction.

     Section 12. Compensation of Directors. The Board may pay each director a stated salary
as such, or a fixed sum for attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, or both,
and may reimburse each director for his expenses of attendance at each such meeting. The Board may
also pay to each director rendering services to the Company not ordinarily rendered by directors,
as such, special compensation appropriate to the value of such services, as determined by the Board
from time to time. None of these payments shall preclude any director from serving the Company in
any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. The Board shall

- 110 -

 

determine the compensation of a director who is also an officer, for service as an officer, as
well as for service as a director.

     Section 13. Resignations. Any director of the Company may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therefore,
and unless otherwise specified with respect thereto, the acceptance of such resignation shall not
be necessary to make it effective.

     Section 14. Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of
Preferred Stock, any director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only
by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent of the shares then entitled to vote at an
election of directors.

     Section 15. Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Board resulting from death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification, removal, or other cause, including any vacancy created by reason of
an increase in the number of directors or as a result of Board action, shall be filed exclusively
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office and not by
stockholders, even if such remaining directors constitute less than a quorum of the board of
directors, or by a sole remaining director. Any director so elected shall hold office for the
remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the
vacancy occurred and until the next Annual Meeting relating to the election of directors of such
class and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number
of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

     Section 16. Board Committees. The Board shall designate from among its members an
audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee, which committees shall be
formed in accordance with the rules promulgated by the exchange on which the Company’s shares are
listed. The Board may designate from among its members one or more other committees as the Board
deems appropriate. The Board shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, change the
membership of, designate one or more directors as alternate members of, or discharge any such
committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members
thereof present at any meeting who are not disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she, or
they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting
in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

     Section 17. Powers and Duties of Committees. Any committee shall have and may exercise
all of the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the
Company to the extent provided for in the resolution of the Board designating such committee and as
limited by these By-Laws, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers
which may require it, provided however, no such committee shall have power or authority to amend
the Certificate of Incorporation, adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommend to the
stockholders the sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and
assets, recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the Company or a

- 111 -

 

revocation of dissolution, or amend these By-Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, unless the
resolution or these By-Laws expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or
authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

     Section 18. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board shall be elected by the
directors at the regular meeting of the Board following the annual election of directors. The
Chairman shall hold office until the regular meeting of the Board following the annual election of
directors in the next subsequent year and until his successor shall have been duly elected and
shall have qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, or both. The Chairman
shall preside, when available, at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board. He shall have
the specific powers conferred by these By-Laws, and he shall also have and may exercise such
further powers and duties as from time to time may be conferred upon or assigned to him by the
Board. The Chairman of the Board shall not be an officer of the Company ex officio unless also
serving as the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to Article IV below.

ARTICLE IV — OFFICERS

     Section 1. Officers. The officers of the Company shall include a President, a
Secretary, and a Treasurer, each whom shall be elected by the Board. Such other officers,
assistant officers, and agents as may be deemed necessary may be elected or appointed by the Board
from time to time. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.

     Section 2. Election and Term of Office. The officers of the Company shall be elected
at the regular meeting of the Board following the annual election of directors. Each officer shall
thereafter hold office at the pleasure of the Board until the regular meeting of the Board
following the annual election of directors in the next subsequent year and until his successor
shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal
from office, or both.

     Section 3. Removal. Any officer may be removed by the Board at any time, with or
without cause. In the case of the offices of President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer and
Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the election or designation by the Board of a
successor to any such office shall be deemed to constitute the removal, without cause, of the
previous incumbent in such office without the need for separate action by the Board to effect such
removal.

     Section 4. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office arising from any cause may be filled by
the Board for the unexpired portion of the term.

     Section 5. President. The President, under the direction of the Board, shall have
general responsibility for the management and direction of the business, properties, and affairs
of the Company. He shall have general executive powers, including all

designated by the Board as the Chief Executive Officer.

     Section 6. Vice President. In the absence of the President, or in the event of his
death, inability, or refusal to act, the Vice President, if one has been appointed or elected by

designated at the time of their appointment or election, or in the absence of any designation,

and, when so acting, shall have all of the powers of, and be subject to all of the restrictions
upon, the President, Each Vice President shall have general executive powers to act on behalf of

adverse claims, or has discharged any such duty, (d) any applicable law relating to the collection

the new certificate(s). The person in whose name shares stand on the books of the Company to be
deemed by the Company to be the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be bound

person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided
by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     Section 3.
Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Stock Certificates; Issuance of New Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate
theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Company may
require the owner of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to
give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate, or the
issuance of such new certificate.

list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies of extracts therefrom.
A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a
stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the
right to inspection, the demand

- 115 -

 

under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes
the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be
directed to the Company at its registered office in the State of Delaware, or at its principal
place of business, if different.

ARTICLE VII — INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     Section 1. Indemnification.

          1.1 The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

          1.2 The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by
or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Company unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

          1.3 To the extent a present or former director or officer of the
Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or

- 116 -

 

proceeding referred to in paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

          1.4 Any indemnification under paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case
upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs 1.1 and 1.2 above. Such
determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the
time of such determination (a) by a majority vote of the members of the Board who are
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a
committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though
less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders.

          1.5 Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director
or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid
upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

          1.6 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may
be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.

          1.7 The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the
Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
provisions of this Article VII.

          1.8 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or

- 117 -

 

agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     Section 2. Limitation of Liability. No director of the Company shall be liable to the
Company or the stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability is not permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended.

     Section 3. Repeal. No amendment to, or repeal of, any of the provisions of this
By-Law shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing
hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment
or repeal of these provisions. Each right or protection arising or accruing hereunder with respect
to an act or omission of a director shall be deemed to arise or accrue as of the date that such
act or omission occurred.

ARTICLE VIII — MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall be the period
commencing January 1 each year and concluding the following December 31.

     Section 2. Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Company may
pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner, and upon the terms and conditions,
provided by law.

the payment of money, agreements, indenture, mortgages, deeds, conveyances, transfers,
certificates, declarations, receipts, discharges, releases, satisfactions, settlements, petitions,
schedules, accounts, affidavits, bonds, undertakings, proxies, and other instruments or documents
may be signed, executed, acknowledged, verified, delivered, or accepted on behalf of the Company by

otherwise required by law, any such instruments may also be signed, executed, acknowledged,
verified, delivered, or accepted on behalf of the Company in such other manner, and by such other
officer, employees, or agents of the Company as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer may from
time to time direct.

ARTICLE IX- AMENDMENTS

     2.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of Shareholders for any purpose(s) may be
called at any time upon written request to the Secretary by the President, the Chairman of the
Board, if any, a majority of the Board of Directors, or by not less than ten percent (10 %) of the
shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Upon receipt of such written
request, the Secretary shall, at the expense of the Corporation, call a special meeting of Shareholders by giving notice in the manner prescribed in these Bylaws. The special meeting shall

- 139 -

 

be held at such place, either within or without the State of California, and at such date and time,
as shall be specified in the notice of the meeting. No business shall be transacted at any special
meeting of Shareholders except that specifically designated in the notice of the meeting.

     2.3 Notice of Meetings. Not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before
the date of every Shareholders’ meeting, the Secretary shall give to each Shareholder of record on
the record date as determined in accordance with these Bylaws, written notice stating the time and
place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise required by statute, the
purpose(s) for which the meeting is called. Notice shall be deemed given when personally
delivered to the Shareholder or when deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage
prepaid, addressed to the Shareholder at his or her last known business or residence address as it
appears on the records of the Corporation.

     2.4 Record Date. So that the Corporation may determine the Shareholders entitled to
notice of and/or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders, or entitled to express consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or
other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of share, or for any other lawful purpose, the Board of Directors
may fix in advance a record date, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten
(10) days prior to the date of such meeting or the taking of such action. A determination of
Shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall apply to
any adjournment of the meeting, unless the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

     2.5 List of Shareholders of Record. Prior to each Shareholders’ meeting, the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall prepare an accurate and complete list in alphabetical
order of the Shareholders of record entitled to vote at the meeting, indicating the address of each
and the number of shares held by each. The list of Shareholders of record shall be open to
examination by any Shareholder during regular business hours upon prior written demand on the
Corporation on or before five (5) business days after the demand is received either at a place
within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of
the meeting, or at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and
kept open at the meeting for inspection by any Shareholder present.

     2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of shares entitled to
cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum at such
meeting. In case a quorum shall not be present at any meeting, a majority in interest of
Shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to
adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice, other than announcement at the meeting, until
the requisite amount of shares entitled to vote shall be present. At any adjourned meeting

- 140 -

 

at which the requisite amount of shares entitled to vote shall be represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

     2.7 Voting. Each outstanding share of common stock (unless restricted) shall be
entitled to one (1) vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Shareholders. A
majority of the votes cast at a meeting of Shareholders duly-called and at which a quorum is
present shall be sufficient to take or authorize action upon any matter which has properly come
before the meeting, unless more or less than a majority of votes cast is required by statute, the
Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Upon the demand of any Shareholder, the vote for
Directors and the vote upon any question before the meeting shall be by ballot.

     2.8 Proxies. At all meetings of Shareholders, a Shareholder may vote by written
proxy, dated and executed by the Shareholder or by his or her duly-authorized attorney-in-fact. No
proxy shall be valid for more than eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless
otherwise specifically stated in the proxy.

     2.9 Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name of another
corporation, if entitled to vote, may be voted by such Officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of the
corporate Shareholder shall prescribe or, in the absence of a controlling bylaw, as the board of
directors of the corporate Shareholder shall determine, provided that a certified copy of the bylaw
or board resolution is presented to the Secretary prior to the meeting. Any fiduciary may vote
shares standing in his name as a fiduciary, either in person or by proxy. Shares of its own stock
belonging to the Corporation shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall
not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time, but shares
of its own stock held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted
in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

     2.10 Action Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of
Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of
Shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent
in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares
having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting of Shareholders at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given to those Shareholders who have not consented in writing.

meeting date. At such meeting, directors shall be elected, reports of the affairs of the
corporation shall be considered, and any other business may be transacted which is within the power
of the shareholders.

     Written notice of each annual meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote,
either personally or by mail or other means of written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to
such shareholder at his address appearing on the books of the corporation or given by him to the
corporation for the purpose of notice. If a shareholder gives no address, notice shall be deemed
to have been given if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place
where the principal office of the corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some
newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located. All such notices
shall be sent to each shareholder entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than fifty
(50) days before each annual meeting, and shall specify the place, the day and the hour of such
meeting, and shall state such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute. If
this bylaw as to the time and place of election of directors is changed, such notice shall be given
to shareholders at least twenty (20) days prior to such meeting.

or purposes whatsoever, may be called at any time by the president or by the Board of Directors, or
by one or more shareholders holding not less than one-fifth of the voting power of the corporation.
Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special
meetings shall be given in the same manner as for annual meetings of shareholders. Notices of any
special meeting shall specify in addition to the place, day and hour of such meeting, the general
nature of the business to be transacted.

     Section 4. Adjourned Meetings and Notice Thereof. Any shareholders’ meeting, annual
or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a
majority of the shares, the holders of which are either present in person or represented by proxy
thereat, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.

     When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for thirty (30) days or
more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Except
as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to
be

meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

     Section 5. Voting. Unless the Board of Directors has fixed in advance (pursuant to
Article V, Section 1) a record date for purposes of determining entitlement to vote at the meeting,
the record date shall be as of the close of business on the day next preceding the date on which
the meeting shall be held. Such vote may be viva voce or by ballot; provided,
however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at
any election and before the voting begins. Every shareholder entitled to vote at any election for
directors shall have the right to cumulate his votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal
to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which his shares are
entitled, or to distribute his votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he shall
think fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes up to the number of directors to
be elected shall be elected.

     Section 6. Quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of persons entitled to vote a
majority of the voting shares at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present
may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

     Section 7. Consent of Absentees. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders,
either annual or special, however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting
duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and
if, either before or after the meeting, each of the shareholders entitled to vote, not present in
person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of such meeting,
or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with
the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

     Section 8. Action Without Meeting. Any action which under any provision of the
Kansas Corporation Code, may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, except approval of an
agreement for merger or consolidation of the corporation with other corporations, or a sale of all
or substantially all of the corporate property, may be taken without a meeting if authorized by a
writing signed by all of the persons who would be entitled to vote upon such action at a meeting,
and filed with the secretary of the corporation, or such other procedure followed as may be
prescribed by statute.

execution, unless the person executing it specified therein the length of time for which such proxy
is to continue in force.

demand during ordinary business hours if for a purpose reasonably related to his interests as a
shareholder, or as the holder of such voting trust certificate. A list of shareholders entitled to
vote shall be exhibited at any reasonable time and at meetings of the shareholders when required by
the demand of any shareholder at least twenty (20) days prior to the meeting. Such inspection may
be made in person or by an agent or attorney authorized in writing by a shareholder, and shall
include the right to make abstracts. Demand of inspection other than at a shareholders’ meeting
shall be made in writing upon the president, secretary, assistant secretary or general manager of
the corporation.

     Section 11. Inspection of Bylaws. The corporation shall keep in its principal office
for the transaction of business the original or a copy of these bylaws as amended or otherwise

guardian of a stockholder or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or
estate of a stockholder may call a special meeting of the stockholders in accordance with the
provisions of these bylaws, or may apply to the District Court for a decree summarily ordering
election as provided for by the Kansas Corporation Code. Each director so elected shall hold
office until his successor is elected at an annual or a special meeting of the shareholders.

     A vacancy or vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in case of the
death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the authorized number of directors be
increased, or if the shareholders fail at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which
any director or directors are elected to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted
for at the meeting, or if any director or directors elected shall refuse to serve.

     The shareholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding voting stock may call a
meeting at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors, or if the Board
of Directors filling a vacancy constitutes less than a majority of the whole Board, as constituted

written notice mailed at least three (3) days before the date of such meeting or be hand delivered
or notified by telegram at least two (2) days before the date such meeting is to be held. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with

corporation, or any committee designated by such Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board
of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment, by means of

directors’ meeting to meet again at a stated day and hour or until the time fixed for the next
regular meeting of the Board.

     Section 14. Fees and Compensation. Directors shall not receive any stated salary for

     The Board of Directors may close the books of the corporation against transfers of shares

     Section 2.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. When a person is sued, either

corporation serving at the request of this corporation, in any proceeding arising out of his
alleged misfeasance or nonfeasance in the performance of his duties or out of any alleged wrongful
act against the corporation or by the corporation, he shall be indemnified for his reasonable
expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in the defense of the proceeding, if both of the
following conditions exist:

	(a)	 	The person sued is successful in whole or in part, or the
proceeding against him is settled with the approval of the
court.
	 
	(b)	 	The court finds that his conduct fairly and equitably merits such indemnity.

The amount of such indemnity which may be assessed against the corporation, its receiver, or its
trustee, by the court in the same or in a separate proceeding shall be so much of the expenses,
including attorneys’ fees incurred in the defense of the proceeding, as the court determines and
finds to be reasonable. Application for such indemnity may be made either by the person sued or by
the attorney or other person rendering services to him in connection with the defense, and the
court may order the fees and expenses to be paid directly to the attorney or other person, although
he is not a party to the proceeding. Notice of the application for such indemnity shall be served
upon the corporation, its receiver, or its trustee, and upon the plaintiff and other parties to the
proceeding. The court may order notice to be given also to the shareholders in the manner provided

in these bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to
enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation,
and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and unless so authorized by
the Board of Directors, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the
corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any
purpose in any amount, provided, however, that any deeds or other instruments conveying lands or
any interest therein shall be executed on behalf of the corporation by the president or
vice-president, if there be one, or by any agent or attorney so authorized under letter of attorney
or other written power which was executed on behalf of the corporation by the president or
vice-president.

such certificate so issued prior to full payment shall state on its face or back the total amount
of the consideration to be paid, the amount paid thereon and the terms by which the amount
remaining unpaid is to be paid.

     Section 7. Representation of Securities of Other Corporations or Entities. The
president or any vice-president and the secretary or assistant secretary of this corporation are

Fiscal Year. The Board of Directors shall have the power to fix and from
time to time change the fiscal year of the corporation. In the absence of action by the Board of
Directors, however, the fiscal year of the corporation shall end each year on the date which the
corporation treated as the close of its first fiscal year, until such time, if any, as the fiscal
year shall be changed by the Board of Directors.

days before the date of the meeting, by written, telegraphic or any other means of communication,
by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting,
to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be

- 180 -

 

     Section 5. Notice of Adjourned Meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
place, it will not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place
to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.
If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment, a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall then be given to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At an adjourned meeting, any
business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.

     Section 6. Waiver of Notice of Meeting of Stockholders. Whenever any notice is required to
be given to any stockholder of the Company under the provisions of any statute or, under the
provisions of the Bylaws, a waiver thereof signed by the person(s) entitled to such notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.
Attendance of a person at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the
person attends the meeting for the expressed purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither
the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

     Section 7.
Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice
of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled
to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any
other proper purpose, the Board shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of stockholders such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days prior to
the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken
and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on
which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken.

     When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made
as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the
Board fixes a new record date of the adjourned meeting.

     All notice and record periods established herein will be adjusted where required to conform to any
prescribed periods now or hereafter provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     Section 8. Stockholder Quorum and Action. A majority of the shares entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except
where these Bylaws require action to be taken by the holders of more than a majority of the shares
then entitled to vote. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave
less than a quorum.

- 181 -

 

     If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders, unless
otherwise provided by the law or these Bylaws.

     Section 9. List of Stockholders. The Secretary of the Company shall prepare and make
available at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, as required by the General Corporation Laws of the
State of Delaware.

     Section 10. Voting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitled to vote will be
entitled to one vote upon each manner submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

     Section 11. Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to
express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize any other
person(s) to act for him by proxy. However, no such proxy will be voted or acted upon after three
(3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

     A duly executed proxy will be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if and only as
long as it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy
may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest
in the stock itself or an interest in the Company generally.

     Section 12. Organization. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the
Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, any Vice
President or, in their absence, by a chairman chosen by a majority of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy. The Secretary, an Assistant Secretary
or, in their absence, any person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, will act as secretary of
the meeting.

     Section 13. Action by Stockholders Without A Meeting. Except as may otherwise be limited by
the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at a
meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Within ten (10) days after obtaining such
authorization by written consent, written notice shall be given to those stockholders who have not
consented in writing. The notice shall fully summarize the material features of the authorized
action and, if the action is a merger, consolidation or sale or exchange of assets for which
dissenters rights are provided by law, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the rights of
stockholders dissenting therefrom.

- 182 -

 

ARTICLE III – DIRECTORS

     Section 1. Powers. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the
property, business, and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of, the Board
of Directors.

     Section 2. Number, Tenure, and Qualification. The number of directors of the Company will
not be less than two (2) nor more than thirteen (13). From time to time, the number of directors
may be increased by stockholder action or by resolution of a majority of the directors then in
office.

     Section 3. Election of Directors. Except as may otherwise by provided in the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by
the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote
for the election of directors. If the annual election of directors is not held on the day designed
by the Board for any Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board may
cause the election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders specifically called for that
purpose.

     Section 4. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board shall be held without other
notice than this Bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual election of
directors. The Board may, from time to time, by resolution appoint the time and place, either
within or without the State of Delaware, for holding other regular meetings of the Board, if it
deems advisable. Such regular meetings will thereupon be held at the time and place so appointed,
without the giving of any notice with regard thereto.

     Section 5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board shall be held whenever called by
the Chairman, the President or any two directors. The person(s) authorized to call special meetings
of the Board may fix any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and any time as the
place and time for holding any special meeting of the Board called by him, her or them.

     Section 6. Notice of Special Meeting. Notice to a director of any special meeting may be
given in writing by mailing the same to the residence or place of business of the director, as
shown on the books of the Company, not less than two (2) calendar days before the day on which the
meeting is to be held. Alternatively, notice to a director of any special meeting may be given by
(a) sending the same to him at his residence or place of business by telegraph, (b) transmitting
the same to him at such place by facsimile transmission, (c) delivering the same to him personally,
(d) leaving the same to him at his residence or place of business, or (e) giving the same to him by
telephone, any of these not later than the day before such day of meeting. If mailed, such notice
will be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the director
at his residence or his place of business with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by
telegram or cablegram, such notice will be deemed to be delivered when the telegram or cablegram is
delivered to the telegraph company. Except as otherwise provided in
the Bylaws or as may be indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at
any special meeting.

- 183 -

 

     When a special meeting of the Board is adjourned to another time and place, no notice of the
adjourned meeting need be given if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

     Section 7. Waiver of Notice. A director may waive the requirement of notice of a special
meeting of the Board by signing a waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting. The
attendance of a director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of such meeting and a waiver
of any and all objections to the place or time of such meeting or the manner in which it has been
called or convened, except when the director states, at the beginning of the meeting, any objection
to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the
business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need
to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

     Section 8. Quorum and Action. Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws or the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors then in office will
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, but if less than
such majority is present at the meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the
meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

     Directors shall be deemed present at a meeting of the Board if a conference telephone, or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other, is used.

     The affirmative vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the Board, except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws or the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

     Section 9. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Company who is present at a meeting of
its Board at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to
the action taken unless he votes against such action, or abstains from voting in respect thereto
because of an asserted conflict of interest.

     Section 10. Action Without A Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the
Board at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors then in office, and filed in the minutes of the
proceedings of the Board. Any action required or permitted to be taken by any Committee of the
Board at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if such a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by all of the members of such Committee then in office, and filed
in the minutes of the proceedings of such Committee and the Board.

     Section 11. Interested Directors. No contract or other transaction between the Company and
one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Company and any other corporation,
partnership, association, or other organization in which
one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest,
shall be void or voidable solely for the reason, or

- 184 -

 

solely because such director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board
or a committee thereof, which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such contract or transaction or
solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

	 	(a)	 	The material facts as to such relationship or interest and as to the contract or
transaction are disclosed or known to the Board or committee, and the Board or committee
in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a
majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less
than a quorum; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or
transaction are disclosed or known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the
stockholders; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	The contract or transaction is fair to the Company as of the time it is authorized,
approved, or ratified, by the Board, a committee, or the stockholders.

     Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting
of the Board or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves, or ratifies such contract or
transaction.

     Section 12. Compensation of Directors. The Board may pay each director a stated salary as
such, or a fixed sum for attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, or both, and
may reimburse each director for his expenses of attendance at each such meeting. The Board may also
pay to each director rendering services to the Company not ordinarily rendered by directors, as
such, special compensation appropriate to the value of such services, as determined by the Board
from time to time. None of these payments shall preclude any director from serving the Company in
any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. The Board shall determine the compensation
of a director who is also an officer, for service as an officer, as well as for service as a
director.

     Section 13. Resignations. Any director of the Company may resign at any time upon written
notice to the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therefor, and
unless otherwise specified with respect thereto, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective.

     Section 14. Removal. Any director may be removed from office at any time, but only for
cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent of the shares then entitled
to vote at an election of directors.

     Section 15. Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Board resulting from death, resignation,
retirement, disqualification, removal, or other cause, including any vacancy created by reason of
an increase in the number of directors or as a result of Board action, shall be filled exclusively
by the

- 185 -

 

affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office and not by stockholders,
even if such remaining directors constitute less than a quorum of the board of directors, or by a
sole remaining director. Any director so elected will hold office for the remainder of the term of
the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until
the next annual meeting of stockholders relating to the election of directors of such class and
until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of
directors will have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

     Section 16. Committees. The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board,
may designate from among its members one or more committees, each of which shall be comprised of
one or more members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any
committee, who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the Board, replace absent or disqualified
members, at any meeting of that committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in such
resolution or in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all
of the authority of the Board, except as otherwise provided by statute. The designation of such
committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board, or any
member thereof, of any responsibility imposed by law. Such committee or committees shall have such
name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board.

     Section 17. Powers and Duties of Committees. Any committee has and may exercise all of the
powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company to
the extent provided for in the resolution of the Board authorizing such committee and as limited by
these Bylaws, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may
require it; but such committee will not have the power or authority to amend the Certificate of
Incorporation, adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommend to the stockholders the
sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets,
recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the Company or a revocation of dissolution, or amend
these Bylaws; and, unless the resolution or these Bylaws expressly so provide, no such committee
will have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

     Section 18. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board shall be elected by the
directors at the regular meeting of the Board following the annual election of directors. The
Chairman will hold office until the regular meeting of the Board following the annual election of
directors in the next subsequent year and until his successors are duly elected and qualified, or
until his earlier resignation, removal from office, or both. The Chairman will preside, when
available, at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board. He will have the specific powers
conferred by these Bylaws and will also have and may exercise such further powers and duties as
from time to time may be conferred upon or assigned to him by the Board. The Chairman of the Board
will not be an officer of the Company unless he also serves as the President or Chief Executive
Officer of the Company pursuant to Article IV below.

Board for the unexpired portion of the term.

may be assigned to him or her by the President or the Board. If required by the Board, the

ARTICLE V. – CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

     Section 1. Certifications for Shares. Certificates representing shares of the Company will
be in such form as is determined by the Board. Every holder of stock in the Company will be
entitled to have a certificate bearing the signatures of the President and the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary or facsimiles thereof if authorized by the Board, and sealed with the corporate
seal or a facsimile thereof, certifying the number of shares owned by him, her, or it in the
Company. Each certificate shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and
address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares
and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the Company. No certificate will
be issued for any share until such share is fully paid. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, a certificate ceases
to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued
by the Company with the same effect as if the Company were such officer, transfer agent or
registrar at the date of issue.

     Section 2. Transfer of Shares. The Company or its duly authorized agent will register a
certificate for shares presented to it for transfer if (a) the certificate is endorsed by the
appropriate person(s), (b) reasonable assurance is given that those endorsements are genuine and
effective, (c) the Company or its duly authorized agent has no duty to inquire into adverse claims,
or has discharged any such duty, (d) any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has
been complied with, and (e) the transfer is in fact rightful, or is to a purchaser for value in
good faith, and without notice of any adverse claim. The new certificate(s) will be issued only
upon surrender of the old certificate, which will be canceled upon the issuance of the new
certificate(s). The person in whose name shares stand on the books of the Company will be deemed by
the Company to be the owner thereof for all purposes and the Company will not be bound to recognize
an equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such shares on the part of any other person whether
or not it has express written notice or another form of notice thereof, except as expressly
provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     Section 3. Lost Stolen, or Destroyed Stock Certificates; Issuance of New Certificates.
The Company may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued
by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Company may require the owner of
the

- 189 -

 

lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the Company a bond
sufficient to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against it on account of the
alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate, or the issuance of such new
certificate.

ARTICLE VI – BOOKS AND RECORDS

     Section 1. Books and Records. The Company shall keep correct and complete books and records
of account and shall keep minutes of the proceedings of its Board and stockholders. The Company
shall also keep, as its principal place of business or with its duly authorized agent, a record of

other agent, will, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right
during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the Company’s stock ledger, a
list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom.
A “proper purpose” means a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder,
In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection,
the demand under oath will be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which
authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under
oath will be directed to the Company at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its
principal place of business, if different.

ARTICLE VII – INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 1. Liabilities and Expenses in Actions. The Company shall indemnify, to the
full extent permitted by Section 145 of The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, all persons whom a corporation may indemnify pursuant to said Section
145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     Section 2. Breach of Fiduciary Duty. No director of the Company will be liable to the
Company or the stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
to the extent such exemption from liability is not permitted by Section 102 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time.

     Section 3. Repeal. No amendment to, or repeal of, any of the provisions of this Bylaw will
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing hereunder with
respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal of
these provisions.

     Section 4. Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of
this Article (unless ordered by a court), shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the

- 190 -

 

specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee of agent
is proper under the circumstances. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not party to such action, suit, or proceeding, or
(b) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors
so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders.

     Section 5. Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on
behalf of, such director or officer to repay such amount if it ultimately is determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such expenses incurred by other employees and
agents may be paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.

     Section 6. Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or
granted pursuant to the foregoing sections are not exclusively of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under Bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in their official
capacity, and as to action in any other capacity while holding such office.

     Section 7. Continuation. Indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article shall continue, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs executors, and administrators of such a person.

     Section 8. Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. The Company has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of this Article.

ARTICLE VIII – MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company will be the period commencing
January 1 each year and concluding the following December 31.

signed, executed, acknowledged, verified, delivered, or accepted on behalf of the Company by the
Chief Executive Officer, by the President, by any Vice President, by the Secretary, or by the Chief
Financial Officer or (if there is no Chief Financial Officer) the Treasurer. Any such events may
also be signed, executed, acknowledged, verified, delivered, or accepted on behalf of the Company
in such other manner, and by such other officers, employees, or agents of the Company as the Board
or the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time direct.

ARTICLE IX – AMENDMENTS

     These Bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed, and new Bylaws made, by a majority vote of the
whole Board; provided, however, that no Bylaw fixing or altering the quorum or voting required in
respect of action taken by stockholders will be effective unless approved by the stockholders.

     Stockholders may make additional Bylaws, and may alter or repeal any Bylaws, whether or not adopted
by them. Stockholder action to adopt, amend, or repeal any Bylaw requiring action by more than a
majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon will be approved only by the affirmative vote of
such number of all stockholders then entitled to vote which equals or exceeds such greater-
than-majority requirement.

inventory in partial or total satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other
dispositions expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement), and insurance proceeds, and all products,

to secure the payment of (i) any and all of the present and future Borrowers’ Obligations, (ii) any

obligations, letter of credit reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) of Debtor to the

Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, and (iii) any and all costs of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent

enforcing payment of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations or in preserving, protecting
or realizing on the Collateral under this Agreement or in representing the Agent and/or any Lender
in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Secured Obligations”).

     2. Representations and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to
the Agent and each Lender, and covenants and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

and delivers to the Agent and Lenders any and all additional financing statements and/or amendments
thereto and/or other agreements, documents or notices as may be required by the Agent and/or any
Lender;

          (b) Debtor has full corporate right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and to grant to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
the security interest in and lien on the Collateral hereby stated to be granted;

- 227 -

 

          (c) the officer of Debtor executing this Agreement has been duly elected and qualified and has
been duly authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform the terms of this Agreement on
behalf of Debtor;

          (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Debtor do not and will not
violate any of the terms or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Debtor;

          (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Debtor do not and will not
violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award presently in effect having applicability to Debtor or the terms of any indenture, agreement,
document, instrument or undertaking to which Debtor is a party or by which it or any of its
Property is bound;

          (f) Debtor’s chief executive office and the location of the only office where it keeps its
books and records respecting the Collateral is that given on the signature page(s) of this
Agreement and all other places of business of Debtor and locations of any of the Collateral are
listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference;

          (g) except to the extent permitted by Section 2(h) below, unless otherwise consented to in
writing by Agent, all of the Collateral (A) is and will be kept solely at Debtor’s chief executive
office or at one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (if mobile equipment or equipment of a type normally used in more
than one location, remaining there when not in use), (B) will not be attached or affixed in any
manner to or become a part of any real estate or other personal property apart from other items of
the Collateral and (C) is in the exclusive possession and control of Debtor;

          (h) Debtor will not (i) change the location of its chief executive office, (ii) change the
location of any of its other places of business, (iii) change the location of any of the Collateral
from Debtor’s chief executive office or one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A

business or additional locations at which any of the Collateral is stored, kept or processed,
unless (A) such office or Collateral location is located within the continental United States of
America, (B) Debtor gives the Agent and Lenders thirty (30) days prior written notice of the same,
and (C) prior to making any such change or establishing any such new location, Debtor executes (if
necessary) and/or obtains and delivers to the Agent and Lenders any and all additional financing
statements and/or amendments thereto, mortgagee waivers and acknowledgments, bailee waivers and
acknowledgments, landlord waivers and acknowledgments, warehousemen waivers and acknowledgments and
other agreements, documents or notices as may be reasonably required by the Agent or any Lender;

          (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and
absolute owner of all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, and Debtor will defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

          (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

          (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein (other than (i) sales of inventory by Debtor in the ordinary course of its
business (which does not

- 228 -

 

include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders));

          (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule,
regulation, ordinance or insurance policy;

          (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

          (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or if any Event of Default
under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) make,
adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance, (ii) endorse the name of
Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain

- 229 -

 

or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Debtor
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect
thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on demand. UNLESS DEBTOR
PROVIDES
EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE
AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED
NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE AGENT PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT
DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR
MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT
DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR
THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE
PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF
INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS
OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE
THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All insurance proceeds shall be
subject to the security interest and lien of the Agent under this Agreement;

          (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

          (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such other jurisdiction or (B) as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain any other information
required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of
real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish

- 230 -

 

any such information to
the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have
filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

          (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

          (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders
thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

          (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

          (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to
agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the
registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are
held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and

- 231 -

 

Lenders thereof in writing
and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at
the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
other instructions from the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
securities or other investment property, or to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of Debtor or
such nominee or (B) in the case of financial assets or other investment property
held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Agent, to
exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. Agent
agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such entitlement orders or
instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, and will not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or
dealing rights by Debtor, unless an Event of Default or an event which with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account
for which the Agent is the securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right, title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in
such jurisdiction, of such transferable record;

hereafter issued in favor of Debtor, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for

the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their
discretion, shall elect;

     (viii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders in a writing signed by Debtor of
the
brief details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition

Agent’s security interest in and lien on such Collateral and delivering the original
of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty

interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign
jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent is recognized by the account debtor to have
all of the rights of an assignee of such accounts;

- 233 -

 

          (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,
including search fees, filing and recording fees, fees for obtaining and transferring certificates
of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or incurred by
the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

          (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing
of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws of any
jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located” (as “located” is defined
in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

          (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules
of Inventory specifying Debtor’s cost of Inventory and of Eligible Inventory and such other matters
and information relating to Inventory and Eligible Inventory as the Required Lenders may from time
to time request. Debtor shall also furnish copies of any other reports or information, in a form
and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required Lenders, concerning accounts,
inventory and any other Collateral requested by the Required Lenders, including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, (i) schedules identifying
each account, (ii) copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts and (iii) such
additional schedules, certificates, test verifications, and reports respecting the Collateral and
the proceeds thereof as the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request. The
Borrowing Base Certificate shall include, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, information on all amounts collected by Debtor on accounts subsequent to the
immediately preceding Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base Certificate shall contain such
additional information as the Required Lenders may require;

          (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and
other documents related thereto; (iii) the

- 234 -

 

amounts thereof shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report are actually and absolutely owing to Debtor and are not contingent for
any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the
best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which could reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the validity or enforcement thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder from the amount thereof as shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report; (vii) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, all account debtors thereof
have the capacity to contract and are solvent; (viii) the goods sold and/or services furnished
giving rise thereto are not subject to any Lien or claim except that of the Agent; (ix) Debtor has
no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to impair in any
material respect the validity or collectibility thereof; (x) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge,
there are no bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending
against any account debtor thereof which could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in such account debtor’s financial
condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are subject to a first priority perfected security
interest in favor of the Agent;

          (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail,
telephone, telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any
Lender (or for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default
or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event
of Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to such Lender on demand;

          (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account
agings, all of which records shall be available during such Debtor’s usual business hours at the
request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.
Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

          (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or
counterclaims in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 by any account debtor with respect to any
Eligible Account and of any allowances, credits and/or other monies in an amount in excess of
$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s

- 235 -

 

receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account
debtor who in the aggregate owes Debtor more than $20,000.00; and (iv) promptly upon Debtor’s
learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

          (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

          (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

          (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations
listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference or another
location with respect to which Debtor has complied with all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of
this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and merchantable title to such inventory and
such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii)
such inventory is of good and merchantable quality, free from any material defects; (iv) such
inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent, royalty, trademark, trade name or copyright
agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion of manufacture and sale or other disposition
of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of Default will not require the consent of any
Person and will not constitute a breach or default under any contract or agreement to which Debtor
is a party or to which any of the inventory is subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced
in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and is not subject to the so-called “hot goods”
provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1); (vii) such inventory is not on consignment with
Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a first priority perfected security interest in
favor of the Agent;

          (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and agents
who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or times to
inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such physical
counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time reasonably
request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such specificity as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count of any or all
of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders or not); and

          (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor.

- 236 -

 

Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other
instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on
the accounts or as proceeds of any other Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and
exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a
daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into
Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit,
ACH debit, wire transfer or other means, as directed by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First
Bank or such other bank as the Agent may from time to time specify in writing to be applied by the
Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders,
in their discretion, shall elect. Debtor shall have no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock
Box and/or the Blocked Account. Debtor, and each of its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other
Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor, shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as
the sole and exclusive property of the Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other
payments relating to and/or proceeds of accounts and/or other Collateral which come into the
possession or under the control of Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agents or other Persons
acting for or in concert with Debtor, and immediately upon receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons
shall cause the same to be deposited into Debtor’s Lock Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other
action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of
the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or
Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance or the payment of
warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse
the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the foregoing,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four and One-Fourth
Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime Rate changes) and
(b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date incurred until reimbursed
by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name or that of Debtor and may
also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any policy of insurance on the
Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in payment of a loss or
otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its power of attorney,
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

- 237 -

 

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found,
take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral, or any part thereof; (b) the
Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect to any account to make all
payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect, receipt for, settle,
compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all amounts due under the
accounts as the Agent may determine; (c) the Agent shall have the right to exercise such of the
other rights and remedies accruing to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the
relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other applicable law upon default by a debtor as the
Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right to enter, with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, any premises where the books and records of Debtor pertaining to the
accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be located, and without charge or liability on
the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said books and records from said premises or remain
upon said premises and use the same for the purpose of collecting, preparing and disposing of the
Collateral and/or for the purpose of identifying and locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, remove and reappoint any Person or Persons,
including, without limitation, any employee or agent of the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver
(each, a “Receiver”), which term shall include a receiver and manager of, or agent for, all or any
part of the Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far as concerns responsibility for its acts,
be deemed to be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall in any way be responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any
such Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all
monies received by any Receiver shall be received in trust for and paid to the Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the
Agent or any Receiver, whether directly or for services rendered (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs, other legal expenses and Receiver
remuneration) in enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or any part of the Collateral and/or in
enforcing or collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such expenses shall be part of the Secured
Obligations and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor shall, upon the Agent’s request,
assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to the Agent at any place designated by
the Agent which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

- 238 -

 

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would
not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and
that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely
on account of not being indicated in this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose
any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or without the Collateral
being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine
from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be
adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a newspaper published in the
City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such publication being at least ten (10)
days before such sale and the last such publication being not more than three (3) days before such
sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be adequate and
reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last known address at least ten (10)
days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice shall not be deemed or construed
to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would otherwise be reasonable under the
circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection with any such sale, specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under

- 239 -

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the
Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall
the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant
to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by
any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to
enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to
the Agent or to which the Agent may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with
respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession,
under Section 9-207 of the Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner
as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any
income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the
preservation of any rights pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case

- 240 -

 

may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such

mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,

account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements
and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse
Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and (vii) do
any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to carry out
the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security interest
granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to the Agent
in respect to the Collateral and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor agrees
that neither the Agent nor any of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any
acts of commission or omission (other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final, nonappealable order), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in respect to
the exercise of the power of attorney granted under this Section. The power of attorney granted
under this Section shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment

- 241 -

 

thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return

Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of
the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of
the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully
operative until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent and/or any Lender with
any such claimant (including, without limitation, Debtor), then and in each such event Debtor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on Debtor,
notwithstanding any

cancellation of any note or other instrument or agreement evidencing such
Secured Obligations or of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and shall secure the payment of the amount so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent and/or any
Lender. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (a)
at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or (b) this Agreement is released in
consideration of a payment of money or transfer of Property or assets or grant of a Lien by Debtor
or any other Person and such payment, transfer or grant is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or
otherwise, all as though such payment, transfer or grant had not been made.

Property is bound;

writing by Agent, all of the Collateral (A) is and will be kept solely at Debtor’s chief executive

from Debtor’s chief executive office or one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A

and (C) prior to making any such change or establishing any such new location, Debtor executes (if
necessary) and/or obtains and delivers to the Agent and Lenders any and all additional financing

acknowledgments, landlord waivers and acknowledgments, warehousemen waivers and acknowledgments and
other agreements, documents or notices as may be reasonably required by the Agent or any Lender;

     (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and

claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

- 250 -

 

     (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

     (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein (other than (i) sales of inventory by Debtor in the ordinary course of its
business (which does not include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise

     (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule,
regulation, ordinance or insurance policy;

     (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the

- 251 -

 

Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true
and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or
if any Event of Default under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and
is continuing, (i) make, adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance,
(ii) endorse the name of Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect
to such policies of insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to
obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole
or in part relating thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default
by Debtor hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do
so) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action
with respect thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on
demand. UNLESS DEBTOR PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE
COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE
AGENT PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR
IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT,
BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
IF THE AGENT PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF
THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY
IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION
OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED
OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE
TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest and lien of
the Agent under this Agreement;

     (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope
of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such
other jurisdiction or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii)
contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
applicable jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement
or amendment, including (A) whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any
organization identification number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut,
a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to
furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its
authorization for the Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like
initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

     (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

     (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

     (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

     (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment

now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the
Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions
from the Agent as to such securities, without further consent of Debtor or such
nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the registered owner of the
securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other
investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are held by Debtor or its
nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as the
case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from
the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other investment
property, or to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as
directed by the Agent to such commodity intermediary, as the case may be, in each
case without further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) in the case of
financial assets or other investment property held through a securities
intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to
such investment property, with Debtor being permitted, only with the consent of the
Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment
property. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such entitlement
orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or
commodity intermediary, and will not withhold its consent to the exercise of any
withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor, unless an Event of Default or an event which
with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities
account for which the Agent is the securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right,

- 254 -

 

title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such
transferable record;

     (vii) if Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or
hereafter issued in favor of Debtor, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for
the Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the
proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit to be applied to the payment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their
discretion, shall elect;

     (viii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders in a writing signed by Debtor of
the brief details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition
to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the
Agent’s security interest in and lien on such Collateral and delivering the original
of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty
of any governmental body, entity, authority, agency or instrumentality as to any
Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment,
perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security
interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required

- 255 -

 

Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign
jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent
is recognized by the account debtor to have all of the rights of an assignee of such
accounts;

     (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,

of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,

the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

     (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable laws of any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located”
(as “located” is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

     (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules
of Inventory specifying Debtor’s cost of Inventory and of Eligible Inventory and such other matters
and information relating to Inventory and Eligible Inventory as the Required Lenders may from time
to time request. Debtor shall also furnish copies of any other reports or information, in a form
and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required

- 256 -

 

Lenders, concerning accounts,
inventory and any other Collateral requested by the Required Lenders, including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, (i) schedules identifying
each account, (ii) copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts and (iii) such
additional schedules, certificates, test verifications, and reports respecting the Collateral and
the proceeds thereof as the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request. The
Borrowing Base Certificate shall include, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, information on all amounts collected by Debtor on accounts subsequent to the
immediately preceding Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base Certificate shall contain such
additional information as the Required Lenders may require;

     (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and
other documents related thereto; (iii) the amounts thereof shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report are actually and absolutely owing to Debtor and are not contingent for
any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the
best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which could reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the validity or enforcement thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder from the amount thereof as shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report; (vii) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, all account debtors thereof
have the capacity to contract and are solvent; (viii) the goods sold and/or services furnished
giving rise thereto are not subject to any Lien or claim except that of the Agent; (ix) Debtor has

against any account debtor thereof which could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are
subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

     (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail,
telephone, telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any
Lender (or for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default
or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event
of Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to such Lender on demand;

     (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account
agings, all of which records shall be available during such Debtor’s usual business hours at the
request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.

- 257 -

 

Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

     (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or

$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account

learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

     (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

     (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

     (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference or another location with respect to which Debtor has complied with
all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to such inventory and such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim
whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii) such inventory is of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects; (iv) such inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent,
royalty, trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion
of manufacture and sale or other disposition of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of
Default will not require the consent of any Person and will not constitute a breach or default
under any contract or agreement to which Debtor is a party or to which any of the inventory is
subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act

- 258 -

 

and is not subject to the so-called “hot goods” provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1);
(vii) such inventory is not on consignment with Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a
first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

     (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and
agents who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or
times to inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such
physical counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time
reasonably request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such
specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count
of any or all of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders
or not); and

     (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor. Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked
Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on the accounts or as proceeds of any other
Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall
irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all
payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds
in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit, ACH debit, wire transfer or other means, as directed
by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First Bank or such other bank as the Agent

- 259 -

 

may from time to
time specify in writing to be applied by the Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations in
such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect. Debtor shall have
no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock Box and/or the Blocked Account. Debtor, and each of
its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor, shall,
acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of the Agent, any
monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other payments relating to and/or proceeds of accounts and/or
other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of Debtor or any Affiliates,
employees, agents or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor, and immediately upon
receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons shall cause the same to be deposited into Debtor’s Lock
Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to
perform and take any other action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance
or preservation of any of the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation,
the discharge of taxes or Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance
or the payment of warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to
forthwith reimburse the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with
the foregoing, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four
and One-Fourth Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime
Rate changes) and (b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date
incurred until reimbursed by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name
or that of Debtor and may also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any
policy of insurance on the Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in
payment of a loss or otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its
power of attorney, irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found, take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral,
or any part thereof; (b) the Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect
to any account to make all payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all
amounts due under the accounts as the Agent may determine;

- 260 -

 

(c) the Agent shall have the right to
exercise such of the other rights and remedies accruing to a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other applicable law upon
default by a debtor as the Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right to enter, with or
without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the books and records of
Debtor pertaining to the accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be located, and without
charge or liability on the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said books and records from
said premises or remain upon said premises and
use the same for the purpose of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral and/or for
the purpose of identifying and locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint, remove and reappoint any Person or Persons, including, without
limitation, any employee or agent of the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver (each, a “Receiver”),
which term shall include a receiver and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the
Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed to
be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall in any way be responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any such
Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all monies
received by any Receiver shall be received in trust for and paid to the Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent or
any Receiver, whether directly or for services rendered (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs, other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) in
enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or any part of the Collateral and/or in enforcing or
collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such expenses shall be part of the Secured Obligations
and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor shall, upon the Agent’s request, assemble the
Collateral and make the Collateral available to the Agent at any place designated by the Agent
which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on

- 261 -

 

account of not being indicated in
this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have
been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or
without the Collateral being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion shall determine from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be
deemed and held to be adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a
newspaper published in the City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such
publication being at least ten (10) days before such sale and the last such publication being not
more than three (3) days before such sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be
deemed and held to be adequate and reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last
known address at least ten (10) days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice
shall not be deemed or construed to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would
otherwise be reasonable under the circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection
with any such sale, specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all
or any portion of the Collateral being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the

- 262 -

 

Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not
have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor
shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or
pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
payment received by the Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to
take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have
been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s
sole duty with respect to the
custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section
9-207 of the Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent
deals with similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income
thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of
any rights pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew accounts, (vi) discharge and release accounts, (vii) prepare, file and
sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account
debtor, (viii) notify the postal authorities of any change of the address for delivery of Debtor’s
mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,
(ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Debtor’s mail is deposited, (iii) endorse
Debtor’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in the Agent’s
account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements

- 263 -

 

and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and
(vii) do any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to
carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to
the Agent in respect to the Collateral and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor
agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable
for any acts of commission or omission (other than for acts of commission or omission which
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or
law in respect to the exercise of the power of attorney granted under this Section. The power of
attorney granted under this Section shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to Debtor to the address or facsimile number of Debtor
listed on the signature page(s) of this Agreement, or if to Agent or any Lender, in care of the
Agent at 135 North Meramec, St. Louis, Missouri 63105, Attention: Traci Dodson, Telecopy No. (314)
854-5454, or at such other address or facsimile number as either party may from time to time
designate as its address or facsimile number for communications under this Agreement by notice so
given. Such notices shall be deemed effective on the day on which delivered or sent if delivered
in person or sent by facsimile (with answerback confirmation received), on the first (1st) Business
Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed,

- 264 -

 

applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of
the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of
the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully
operative until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent and/or any Lender with
any such claimant (including, without limitation, Debtor), then and in each such event Debtor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on Debtor,
notwithstanding any cancellation of any note or other instrument or agreement evidencing such
Secured Obligations or of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and shall secure the payment of the amount so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent and/or any
Lender. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (a)
at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or (b) this Agreement is released in
consideration of a payment of money or transfer of Property or assets or grant of a Lien by Debtor
or any other Person and such payment, transfer or grant is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or
otherwise, all as though such payment, transfer or grant had not been made.

     18. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (A)
SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF ST.
LOUIS, MISSOURI OR ANY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COURT SITTING IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI,

TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT TO SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE
HELD AND DETERMINED IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, (C) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
OBJECTION WHICH DEBTOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, (D) WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND (E) WAIVES ALL RIGHTS OF
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH DEBTOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BY REASON OF ITS PRESENT OR

- 265 -

RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION IN WHICH DEBTOR AND THE AGENT ARE PARTIES
RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, and (iii) any and all costs of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent

          (g) except to the extent permitted by Section 2(h) below, unless otherwise consented to in
writing by Agent, all of the Collateral (A) is and will be kept solely at Debtor’s chief executive

other agreements, documents or notices as may be reasonably required by the Agent or any Lender;

          (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and
absolute owner of all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, and Debtor will defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

          (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

          (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein (other than (i) sales of inventory by Debtor in the ordinary course of its
business (which does not

- 272 -

 

include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders));

          (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the
Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule, regulation,
ordinance or insurance policy;

          (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

          (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or if any Event of Default
under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) make,
adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance, (ii) endorse the name of
Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain

- 273 -

 

or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Debtor
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect
thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on demand. UNLESS DEBTOR
PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE
INSURANCE AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE
MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE AGENT PURCHASES MAY
NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER
PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT
PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE,
INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE
INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All
insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest and lien of the Agent under this
Agreement;

          (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

          (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such other jurisdiction or (B) as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain any other information
required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of
real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish

- 274 -

 

any such information to
the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have
filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

          (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

     (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

     (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

     (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to
agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the
registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are
held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and

- 275 -

 

Lenders thereof in writing
and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at
the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
other instructions from the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
securities or other investment property, or to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of Debtor or
such nominee or (B) in the case of financial assets or other investment property
held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
otherwise deal with such investment property. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent
will not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such
issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and will not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor,
unless an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has
occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Agent is the
securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right, title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in
such jurisdiction, of such transferable record;

- 276 -

 

     (vii) if Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or
hereafter issued in favor of Debtor, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for
the Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the
proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit to be applied to the payment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their
discretion, shall elect;

     (viii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders in a writing signed by Debtor of
the brief details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition
to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the
Agent’s security interest in and lien on such Collateral and delivering the original
of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty
of any governmental body, entity, authority, agency or instrumentality as to any
Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment,
perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security
interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign
jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent is recognized by the account debtor to have
all of the rights of an assignee of such accounts;

- 277 -

 

          (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,
including search fees, filing and recording fees, fees for obtaining and transferring certificates
of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or incurred by
the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

          (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable laws of any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located”
(as “located” is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

          (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules
of Inventory specifying Debtor’s cost of Inventory and of Eligible Inventory and such other matters
and information relating to Inventory and Eligible Inventory as the Required Lenders may from time
to time request. Debtor shall also furnish copies of any other reports or information, in a form
and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required Lenders, concerning accounts,
inventory and any other Collateral requested by the Required Lenders, including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, (i) schedules identifying
each account, (ii) copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts and (iii) such
additional schedules, certificates, test verifications, and reports respecting the Collateral and
the proceeds thereof as the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request. The
Borrowing Base Certificate shall include, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, information on all amounts collected by Debtor on accounts subsequent to the
immediately preceding Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base Certificate shall contain such
additional information as the Required Lenders may require;

          (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and
other documents related thereto; (iii) the

- 278 -

 

amounts thereof shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report are actually and absolutely owing to Debtor and are not contingent for
any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the
best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which could reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the validity or enforcement thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder from the amount thereof as shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report; (vii) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, all account debtors thereof
have the capacity to contract and are solvent; (viii) the goods sold and/or services furnished
giving rise thereto are not subject to any Lien or claim except that of the Agent; (ix) Debtor has
no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to impair in any
material respect the validity or collectibility thereof; (x) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge,
there are no bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending
against any account debtor thereof which could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are
subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender,
to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any Lender (or
for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default or any
event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event of
Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by Debtor
to such Lender on demand;

          (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account

request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.
Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

          (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or
counterclaims in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 by any account debtor with respect to any
Eligible Account and of any allowances, credits and/or other monies in an amount in excess of
$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s

- 279 -

 

receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account
debtor who in the aggregate owes Debtor more than $20,000.00; and (iv) promptly upon Debtor’s
learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

          (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

          (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

          (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference or another location with respect to which Debtor has complied with
all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to such inventory and such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim
whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii) such inventory is of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects; (iv) such inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent,
royalty,
trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion of
manufacture and sale or other disposition of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of
Default will not require the consent of any Person and will not constitute a breach or default
under any contract or agreement to which Debtor is a party or to which any of the inventory is
subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
is not subject to the so-called “hot goods” provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1);
(vii) such inventory is not on consignment with Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a
first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and agents
who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or times to
inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such physical
counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time reasonably
request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such specificity as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count of any or all
of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders or not); and

          (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor.

- 280 -

 

Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked
Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on the accounts or as proceeds of any other
Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall
irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all
payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds
in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit, ACH debit, wire transfer or other
means, as directed by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First Bank or such other bank as the
Agent may from time to time specify in writing to be applied by the Agent to the payment of the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall
elect. Debtor shall have no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock Box and/or the Blocked
Account. Debtor, and each of its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other Persons acting for or
in concert with Debtor, shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive
property of the Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other payments relating to and/or
proceeds of accounts and/or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of
Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agents or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor,
and immediately upon receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons shall cause the same to be deposited
into Debtor’s Lock Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other
action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of
the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or
Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance or the payment of
warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse
the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the foregoing,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four and One-Fourth
Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime Rate changes) and
(b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date incurred until reimbursed
by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name or that of Debtor and may
also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any policy of insurance on the
Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in payment of a loss or
otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its power of attorney,
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

- 281 -

 

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found, take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral,
or any part thereof; (b) the Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect
to any account to make all payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all
amounts due under the accounts as the Agent may determine; (c) the Agent shall have the right to
exercise such of the other rights and remedies accruing to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other
applicable law upon default by a debtor as the Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right
to enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the
books and records of Debtor pertaining to the accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be
located, and without charge or liability on the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said
books and records from said premises or remain upon said premises and use the same for the purpose
of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral and/or for the purpose of identifying and
locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint,
remove and reappoint any Person or Persons, including, without limitation, any employee or agent of
the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver (each, a “Receiver”), which term shall include a receiver
and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far
as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed to be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent
or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall in any way be responsible for any
misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any such Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as
otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all monies received by any Receiver shall be received in
trust for and paid to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Receiver, whether directly or for services
rendered (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs,
other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) in enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or
any part of the Collateral and/or in enforcing or collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such
expenses shall be part of the Secured Obligations and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor
shall, upon the Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to the
Agent at any place designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

- 282 -

 

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on the
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the
absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or without the Collateral
being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine
from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be
adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a newspaper published in the
City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such publication being at least ten (10)
days before such sale and the last such publication being not more than three (3) days before such
sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be adequate and
reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last known address at least ten (10)
days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice shall not be deemed or construed
to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would otherwise be reasonable under the
circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection with any such sale, specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under

- 283 -

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not
have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor
shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or
pursuant to any such contract or agreement,
to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of
the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent
may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe
keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case

- 284 -

 

may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew accounts, (vi) discharge and release accounts, (vii) prepare, file and
sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account
debtor, (viii) notify the postal authorities of any change of the address for delivery of Debtor’s
mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,
(ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Debtor’s mail is deposited, (iii) endorse
Debtor’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in the Agent’s
account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements
and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and
(vii) do any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to
carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to
the Agent in respect to the Collateral
and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor agrees that neither the Agent nor any
of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission
(other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in respect to the exercise of the power of
attorney granted under this Section. The power of attorney granted under this Section shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment

- 285 -

 

thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to Debtor to the address or facsimile number of Debtor
listed on the signature page(s) of this Agreement, or if to Agent or any Lender, in care of the
Agent at 135 North Meramec, St. Louis, Missouri 63105, Attention: Traci Dodson, Telecopy No. (314)
854-5454, or at such other address or facsimile number as either party may from time to time
designate as its address or facsimile number for communications under this Agreement by notice so
given. Such notices shall be deemed effective on the day on which delivered or sent if delivered
in person or sent by facsimile (with answerback confirmation received), on the first (1st) Business
Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and
the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative
until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent and/or any Lender with
any such claimant (including, without limitation, Debtor), then and in each such event Debtor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on Debtor,
notwithstanding any

- 286 -

 

cancellation of any note or other instrument or agreement evidencing such
Secured Obligations or of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and shall secure the payment of the amount so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent and/or any
Lender. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (a)
at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or (b) this Agreement is released in
consideration of a payment of money or transfer of Property or assets or grant of a Lien by Debtor
or any other Person and such payment, transfer or grant is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or
otherwise, all as though such payment, transfer or grant had not been made.

or total satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly
permitted by the Loan Agreement), and insurance proceeds, and all products, of (a), (b), (c), (d),

obligations, letter of credit reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) of Debtor to the

Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, and (iii) any and all costs of collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, in collecting or
enforcing payment of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations or in preserving, protecting
or realizing on the Collateral under this Agreement or in representing the Agent and/or any Lender
in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Secured Obligations”).

     2. Representations and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to
the Agent and each Lender, and covenants and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

Agent and/or any Lender;

          (b) Debtor has full corporate right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its

been duly authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform the terms of this Agreement on

          (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Debtor do not and will not
violate any of the terms or provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Debtor;

          (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Debtor do not and will not
violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award presently in effect having applicability to Debtor or the terms of any indenture, agreement,
document, instrument or undertaking to which Debtor is a party or by which it or any of its
Property is bound;

          (f) Debtor’s chief executive office and the location of the only office where it keeps its
books and records respecting the Collateral is that given on the signature page(s) of this
Agreement and all other places of business of Debtor and locations of any of the Collateral are
listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference;

          (g) except to the extent permitted by Section 2(h) below, unless otherwise consented to in
writing by Agent, all of the Collateral (A) is and will be kept solely at Debtor’s chief executive
office or at one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (if mobile equipment or equipment of a type normally used in more
than one location, remaining there when not in use), (B) will not be attached or affixed in any
manner to or become a part of any real estate or other personal property apart from other items of
the Collateral and (C) is in the exclusive possession and control of Debtor;

          (h) Debtor will not (i) change the location of its chief executive office, (ii) change the
location of any of its other places of business, (iii) change the location of any of the Collateral
from Debtor’s chief executive office or one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A

business or additional locations at which any of the Collateral is stored, kept or processed,
unless (A) such office or Collateral location is located within the continental United States of
America, (B) Debtor gives the Agent and Lenders thirty (30) days prior written notice of the same,
and (C) prior to making any such change or establishing any such new location, Debtor executes (if
necessary) and/or obtains and delivers to the Agent and Lenders any and all additional financing
statements and/or amendments thereto, mortgagee waivers and acknowledgments, bailee waivers and
acknowledgments, landlord waivers and acknowledgments, warehousemen waivers and acknowledgments and
other agreements, documents or notices as may be reasonably required by the Agent or any Lender;

          (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and
absolute owner of all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, and Debtor will defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

          (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

          (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein (other than (i) sales of inventory by Debtor in the ordinary course of its
business (which does not

- 294 -

 

include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders));

          (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the
Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule, regulation,
ordinance or insurance policy;

          (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

          (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or if any Event of Default
under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) make,
adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance, (ii) endorse the name of
Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain

- 295 -

 

or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Debtor
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect
thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on demand. UNLESS DEBTOR
PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE
INSURANCE AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE
MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE AGENT PURCHASES MAY
NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER
PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT
PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE,
INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE
INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All
insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest and lien of the Agent under this
Agreement;

          (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

          (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such other jurisdiction or (B) as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain any other information
required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of
real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish

- 296 -

 

any such information to
the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have
filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

          (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

     (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

     (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

     (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to
agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the
registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are
held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and

- 297 -

 

Lenders thereof in writing
and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at
the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
other instructions from the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
securities or other investment property, or to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of Debtor or
such nominee or (B) in the case of financial assets or other investment property
held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
otherwise deal with such investment property. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent
will not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such
issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and will not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor,
unless an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has
occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Agent is the
securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right, title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in

pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition

of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty

interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant

jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent is recognized by the account debtor to have
all of the rights of an assignee of such accounts;

- 299 -

 

          (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,
including search fees, filing and recording fees, fees for obtaining and transferring certificates
of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or incurred by
the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

          (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable laws of any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located”
(as “located” is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

          (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules
of Inventory specifying Debtor’s cost of Inventory and of Eligible Inventory and such other matters
and information relating to Inventory and Eligible Inventory as the Required Lenders may from time
to time request. Debtor shall also furnish copies of any other reports or information, in a form
and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required Lenders, concerning accounts,
inventory and any other Collateral requested by the Required Lenders, including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, (i) schedules identifying
each account, (ii) copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts and (iii) such
additional schedules, certificates, test verifications, and reports respecting the Collateral and
the proceeds thereof as the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request. The
Borrowing Base Certificate shall include, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, information on all amounts collected by Debtor on accounts subsequent to the
immediately preceding Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base Certificate shall contain such
additional information as the Required Lenders may require;

          (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and
other documents related thereto; (iii) the

- 300 -

 

amounts thereof shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report are actually and absolutely owing to Debtor and are not contingent for
any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the
best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which could reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the validity or enforcement thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder from the amount thereof as shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report; (vii) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, all account debtors thereof
have the capacity to contract and are solvent; (viii) the goods sold and/or services furnished
giving rise thereto are not subject to any Lien or claim except that of the Agent; (ix) Debtor has
no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to impair in any
material respect the validity or collectibility thereof; (x) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge,
there are no bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending
against any account debtor thereof which could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are
subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender,
to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any Lender (or
for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default or any
event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event of
Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by Debtor
to such Lender on demand;

          (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account
agings, all of which records shall be available during such Debtor’s usual business hours at the
request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.
Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

          (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or
counterclaims in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 by any account debtor with respect to any
Eligible Account and of any allowances, credits and/or other monies in an amount in excess of
$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s

- 301 -

 

receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account
debtor who in the aggregate owes Debtor more than $20,000.00; and (iv) promptly upon Debtor’s
learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

          (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

          (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

          (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference or another location with respect to which Debtor has complied with
all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to such inventory and such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim
whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii) such inventory is of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects; (iv) such inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent,
royalty,
trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion of
manufacture and sale or other disposition of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of
Default will not require the consent of any Person and will not constitute a breach or default
under any contract or agreement to which Debtor is a party or to which any of the inventory is
subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
is not subject to the so-called “hot goods” provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1);
(vii) such inventory is not on consignment with Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a
first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and agents
who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or times to
inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such physical
counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time reasonably
request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such specificity as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count of any or all
of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders or not); and

          (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor.

- 302 -

 

Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked
Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on the accounts or as proceeds of any other
Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall
irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all
payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds
in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit, ACH debit, wire transfer or other
means, as directed by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First Bank or such other bank as the
Agent may from time to time specify in writing to be applied by the Agent to the payment of the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall
elect. Debtor shall have no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock Box and/or the Blocked
Account. Debtor, and each of its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other Persons acting for or
in concert with Debtor, shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive
property of the Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other payments relating to and/or
proceeds of accounts and/or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of
Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agents or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor,
and immediately upon receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons shall cause the same to be deposited
into Debtor’s Lock Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other
action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of
the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or
Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance or the payment of
warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse
the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the foregoing,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four and One-Fourth
Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime Rate changes) and
(b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date incurred until reimbursed
by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name or that of Debtor and may
also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any policy of insurance on the
Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in payment of a loss or
otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its power of attorney,
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

- 303 -

 

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found, take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral,
or any part thereof; (b) the Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect
to any account to make all payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all
amounts due under the accounts as the Agent may determine; (c) the Agent shall have the right to
exercise such of the other rights and remedies accruing to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other
applicable law upon default by a debtor as the Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right
to enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the
books and records of Debtor pertaining to the accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be
located, and without charge or liability on the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said
books and records from said premises or remain upon said premises and use the same for the purpose
of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral and/or for the purpose of identifying and
locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint,
remove and reappoint any Person or Persons, including, without limitation, any employee or agent of
the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver (each, a “Receiver”), which term shall include a receiver
and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far
as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed to be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent
or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall in any way be responsible for any
misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any such Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as
otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all monies received by any Receiver shall be received in
trust for and paid to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Receiver, whether directly or for services
rendered (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs,
other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) in enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or
any part of the Collateral and/or in enforcing or collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such
expenses shall be part of the Secured Obligations and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor
shall, upon the Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to the
Agent at any place designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

- 304 -

 

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on the
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the
absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or without the Collateral
being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine
from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be
adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a newspaper published in the
City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such publication being at least ten (10)
days before such sale and the last such publication being not more than three (3) days before such
sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be adequate and
reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last known address at least ten (10)
days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice shall not be deemed or construed
to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would otherwise be reasonable under the
circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection with any such sale, specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under

- 305 -

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not
have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor
shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or
pursuant to any such contract or agreement,
to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of
the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent
may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe
keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case

- 306 -

 

may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew accounts, (vi) discharge and release accounts, (vii) prepare, file and
sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account

mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,
(ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Debtor’s mail is deposited, (iii) endorse
Debtor’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in the Agent’s
account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements
and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and
(vii) do any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to
carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to
the Agent in respect to the Collateral
and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor agrees that neither the Agent nor any
of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission
(other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in respect to the exercise of the power of
attorney granted under this Section. The power of attorney granted under this Section shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment

- 307 -

 

thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to Debtor to the address or facsimile number of Debtor

designate as its address or facsimile number for communications under this Agreement by notice so
given. Such notices shall be deemed effective on the day on which delivered or sent if delivered
in person or sent by facsimile (with answerback confirmation received), on the first (1st) Business
Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and
the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative
until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent and/or any Lender with
any such claimant (including, without limitation, Debtor), then and in each such event Debtor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on Debtor,
notwithstanding any

- 308 -

 

cancellation of any note or other instrument or agreement evidencing such
Secured Obligations or of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and shall secure the payment of the amount so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent and/or any
Lender. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (a)
at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or (b) this Agreement is released in
consideration of a payment of money or transfer of Property or assets or grant of a Lien by Debtor
or any other Person and such payment, transfer or grant is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or
otherwise, all as though such payment, transfer or grant had not been made.

     18. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (A)
SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF ST.

violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or

Property is bound;

manner to or become a part of any real estate or other personal property apart from other items of
the Collateral and (C) is in the exclusive possession and control of Debtor;

          (h) Debtor will not (i) change the location of its chief executive office, (ii) change the
location of any of its other places of business, (iii) change the location of any of the Collateral
from Debtor’s chief executive office or one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A

statements and/or amendments thereto, mortgagee waivers and acknowledgments, bailee waivers and
acknowledgments, landlord waivers and acknowledgments, warehousemen waivers and acknowledgments and
other agreements, documents or notices as may be reasonably required by the Agent or any Lender;

          (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and
absolute owner of all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, and Debtor will defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

          (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

          (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or

business (which does not

- 316 -

 

include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders));

          (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the
Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule, regulation,
ordinance or insurance policy;

          (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

          (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or if any Event of Default
under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) make,
adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance, (ii) endorse the name of
Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain

- 317 -

 

or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Debtor
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect
thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on demand. UNLESS DEBTOR
PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE
INSURANCE AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE
MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE AGENT PURCHASES MAY
NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER
PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT
PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE,
INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE
INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All
insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest and lien of the Agent under this
Agreement;

          (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

          (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such other jurisdiction or (B) as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain any other information
required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of
real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish

- 318 -

 

any such information to
the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have
filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

          (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

     (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

     (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

     (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to
agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the
registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are
held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and

- 319 -

 

Lenders thereof in writing
and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at
the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
other instructions from the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
securities or other investment property, or to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of Debtor or
such nominee or (B) in the case of financial assets or other investment property
held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
otherwise deal with such investment property. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent
will not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such
issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and will not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor,
unless an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has
occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Agent is the
securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right, title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in
such jurisdiction, of such transferable record;

- 320 -

 

     (vii) if Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or
hereafter issued in favor of Debtor, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for
the Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the
proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit to be applied to the payment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their
discretion, shall elect;

     (viii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders in a writing signed by Debtor of
the brief details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition
to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the
Agent’s security interest in and lien on such Collateral and delivering the original
of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty
of any governmental body, entity, authority, agency or instrumentality as to any
Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment,
perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security
interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign
jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent is recognized by the account debtor to have
all of the rights of an assignee of such accounts;

- 321 -

 

          (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,
including search fees, filing and recording fees, fees for obtaining and transferring certificates
of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Agent
and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or incurred by
the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

          (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable laws of any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located”
(as “located” is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

          (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules
of Inventory specifying Debtor’s cost of Inventory and of Eligible Inventory and such other matters
and information relating to Inventory and Eligible Inventory as the Required Lenders may from time
to time request. Debtor shall also furnish copies of any other reports or information, in a form
and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required Lenders, concerning accounts,
inventory and any other Collateral requested by the Required Lenders, including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, (i) schedules identifying
each account, (ii) copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts and (iii) such
additional schedules, certificates, test verifications, and reports respecting the Collateral and
the proceeds thereof as the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request. The
Borrowing Base Certificate shall include, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to
the Required Lenders, information on all amounts collected by Debtor on accounts subsequent to the
immediately preceding Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowing Base Certificate shall contain such
additional information as the Required Lenders may require;

          (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and
other documents related thereto; (iii) the

- 322 -

 

amounts thereof shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report are actually and absolutely owing to Debtor and are not contingent for
any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the
best of Debtor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which could reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the validity or enforcement thereof or tend to reduce
the amount payable thereunder from the amount thereof as shown on the applicable Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report; (vii) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, all account debtors thereof
have the capacity to contract and are solvent; (viii) the goods sold and/or services furnished
giving rise thereto are not subject to any Lien or claim except that of the Agent; (ix) Debtor has
no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to impair in any
material respect the validity or collectibility thereof; (x) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge,
there are no bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending
against any account debtor thereof which could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are
subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender,
to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any Lender (or
for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default or any
event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event of
Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by Debtor
to such Lender on demand;

          (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account
agings, all of which records shall be available during such Debtor’s usual business hours at the
request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.
Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

          (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or
counterclaims in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 by any account debtor with respect to any
Eligible Account and of any allowances, credits and/or other monies in an amount in excess of
$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s

- 323 -

 

receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account

learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

          (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

          (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

          (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference or another location with respect to which Debtor has complied with
all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to such inventory and such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim
whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii) such inventory is of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects; (iv) such inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent,
royalty,
trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion of
manufacture and sale or other disposition of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of
Default will not require the consent of any Person and will not constitute a breach or default
under any contract or agreement to which Debtor is a party or to which any of the inventory is
subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
is not subject to the so-called “hot goods” provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1);
(vii) such inventory is not on consignment with Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a
first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and agents
who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or times to
inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such physical
counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time reasonably
request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such specificity as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count of any or all
of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders or not); and

          (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor.

- 324 -

 

Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked
Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on the accounts or as proceeds of any other
Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall
irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all
payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds
in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit, ACH debit, wire transfer or other
means, as directed by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First Bank or such other bank as the
Agent may from time to time specify in writing to be applied by the Agent to the payment of the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall
elect. Debtor shall have no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock Box and/or the Blocked
Account. Debtor, and each of its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other Persons acting for or
in concert with Debtor, shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive
property of the Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other payments relating to and/or
proceeds of accounts and/or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of
Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agents or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor,
and immediately upon receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons shall cause the same to be deposited
into Debtor’s Lock Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other
action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of
the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or
Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance or the payment of
warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse
the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the foregoing,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four and One-Fourth
Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime Rate changes) and
(b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date incurred until reimbursed
by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name or that of Debtor and may
also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any policy of insurance on the
Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in payment of a loss or
otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its power of attorney,
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

- 325 -

 

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found, take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral,
or any part thereof; (b) the Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect
to any account to make all payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all
amounts due under the accounts as the Agent may determine; (c) the Agent shall have the right to
exercise such of the other rights and remedies accruing to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other
applicable law upon default by a debtor as the Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right
to enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the
books and records of Debtor pertaining to the accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be
located, and without charge or liability on the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said
books and records from said premises or remain upon said premises and use the same for the purpose
of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral and/or for the purpose of identifying and
locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint,
remove and reappoint any Person or Persons, including, without limitation, any employee or agent of
the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver (each, a “Receiver”), which term shall include a receiver
and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far
as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed to be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent
or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall in any way be responsible for any
misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any such Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as
otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all monies received by any Receiver shall be received in
trust for and paid to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Receiver, whether directly or for services
rendered (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs,
other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) in enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or
any part of the Collateral and/or in enforcing or collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such
expenses shall be part of the Secured Obligations and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor
shall, upon the Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to the
Agent at any place designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

- 326 -

 

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on the
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the
absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or without the Collateral
being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine
from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be
adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a newspaper published in the
City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such publication being at least ten (10)
days before such sale and the last such publication being not more than three (3) days before such
sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be adequate and
reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last known address at least ten (10)
days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice shall not be deemed or construed
to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would otherwise be reasonable under the
circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection with any such sale, specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under

- 327 -

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not
have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor
shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or
pursuant to any such contract or agreement,
to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of
the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent
may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe
keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case

- 328 -

 

may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew accounts, (vi) discharge and release accounts, (vii) prepare, file and
sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account
debtor, (viii) notify the postal authorities of any change of the address for delivery of Debtor’s
mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,
(ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Debtor’s mail is deposited, (iii) endorse
Debtor’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in the Agent’s
account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements
and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and
(vii) do any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to
carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to
the Agent in respect to the Collateral
and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor agrees that neither the Agent nor any
of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission
(other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in respect to the exercise of the power of
attorney granted under this Section. The power of attorney granted under this Section shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment

- 329 -

 

thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to Debtor to the address or facsimile number of Debtor
listed on the signature page(s) of this Agreement, or if to Agent or any Lender, in care of the
Agent at 135 North Meramec, St. Louis, Missouri 63105, Attention: Traci Dodson, Telecopy No. (314)
854-5454, or at such other address or facsimile number as either party may from time to time
designate as its address or facsimile number for communications under this Agreement by notice so
given. Such notices shall be deemed effective on the day on which delivered or sent if delivered
in person or sent by facsimile (with answerback confirmation received), on the first (1st) Business
Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and
the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative
until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent and/or any Lender with
any such claimant (including, without limitation, Debtor), then and in each such event Debtor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on Debtor,
notwithstanding any

- 330 -

 

cancellation of any note or other instrument or agreement evidencing such
Secured Obligations or of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, and shall secure the payment of the amount so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent and/or any
Lender. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (a)
at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or (b) this Agreement is released in
consideration of a payment of money or transfer of Property or assets or grant of a Lien by Debtor
or any other Person and such payment, transfer or grant is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Agent and/or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or
otherwise, all as though such payment, transfer or grant had not been made.

     18. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (A)
SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF ST.
LOUIS, MISSOURI OR ANY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COURT SITTING IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI,
EASTERN DIVISION, AS AGENT MAY ELECT, IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, (B) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT TO SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE
HELD AND DETERMINED IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, (C) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
OBJECTION WHICH DEBTOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, (D) WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND (E) WAIVES ALL RIGHTS OF
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH DEBTOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BY REASON OF ITS PRESENT OR
SUBSEQUENT DOMICILES. DEBTOR AUTHORIZES THE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON DEBTOR BY REGISTERED MAIL SENT
TO DEBTOR AT ITS ADDRESS REFERENCED IN SECTION 15. DEBTOR AND THE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION IN WHICH DEBTOR AND THE AGENT ARE PARTIES

          (i) Debtor is, or, as to Collateral acquired after the date hereof, will be, the sole and
absolute owner of all of the Collateral, free and clear of any and all Liens and claims of any kind
or nature whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, and Debtor will defend the Collateral against all
claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;

          (j) no financing statement (other than any filed with respect to Permitted Liens) covering any
of the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office at any time during the term of this
Agreement;

          (k) Debtor will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, sell,
transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or offer to dispose of any of the Collateral or
any interest therein (other than (i) sales of inventory by Debtor in the ordinary course of its
business (which does not

- 338 -

 

include any sale or other transfer of inventory in partial or total
satisfaction of any Indebtedness) and (ii) other sales and other dispositions expressly permitted
by the Loan Agreement (which other sales and other dispositions shall be made expressly subject to
the security interest and lien in favor of the Agent created by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders));

          (l) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral consisting of inventory, goods,
machinery, equipment and/or other tangible personal property used or useful in the conduct of its
business in good condition, working order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), excepting
any loss, damage or destruction which is fully covered by proceeds of insurance, and will not use
any of the
Collateral or permit any of the Collateral to be used in violation of any law, rule, regulation,
ordinance or insurance policy;

          (m) Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral or for its
use or operation or upon this Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations or with respect to the
perfection of any security interest or lien under this Agreement; provided, however, that Debtor
shall not be required to pay any such tax or assessment the payment of which is being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided, except that Debtor shall pay or cause to be
paid all such taxes and assessments forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any
Lien which is attached as security therefor, unless such foreclosure is stayed by the filing of an
appropriate bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

          (n) Debtor will at all times keep all of the Collateral of an insurable nature insured against
loss, damage, theft and other risks, in such amounts, with such companies and under policies in
such form, all as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. All insurance required
by this Section 2(n) shall be with insurers rated A-XI or better by A.M. Best Company (or accorded
a similar rating by another nationally or internationally recognized insurance rating agency of
similar standing if A.M. Best Company is not then in the business of rating insurers or rating
foreign insurers) or such other insurers as may from time to time be reasonably acceptable to the
Required Lenders. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement reasonably acceptable to
the Agent naming the Agent as loss payee as its interests may appear. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give
the Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance
shall be amended or cancelled and that no act or default of Debtor or any other Person shall affect
the right of the Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in the event of any
loss of or damage to any of the Collateral. Debtor hereby directs all insurers under such policies
of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent as its interests may
appear and Debtor hereby agrees to promptly forward to the Agent all such insurance proceeds
received directly by Debtor. All insurance proceeds received by the Agent on account of any loss of
or damage to any of the Collateral, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses
paid or incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of said proceeds, shall, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders, be applied to the payment or prepayment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion,
shall elect. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Agent) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) to, if Debtor fails to do upon the demand of the Agent or if any Event of Default
under this Agreement or any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) make,
adjust, compromise and settle claims under such policies of insurance, (ii) endorse the name of
Debtor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment of the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and (iii) make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance. In the event Debtor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain

- 339 -

 

or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Debtor
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain
and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect
thereto which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be part of the Secured Obligations, payable by Debtor to the Agent on demand. UNLESS DEBTOR
PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE
INSURANCE AT DEBTOR’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT’S INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE
MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT DEBTOR’S INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT THE AGENT PURCHASES MAY
NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT DEBTOR MAY MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE COLLATERAL. DEBTOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER
PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT DEBTOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT
PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, DEBTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE,
INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES THE AGENT MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS. THE COSTS OF THE
INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE DEBTOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN. All
insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest and lien of the Agent under this
Agreement;

          (o) Debtor will permit the Agent and each Lender (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any
Lender to whom Debtor does not reasonably object) to (i) examine and inspect any of all of the
Collateral, wherever located, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times and (ii)
enter upon its Properties for purposes of making such examinations and/or inspections. Debtor will
permit the Agent (and any Person appointed by the Agent or any Lender to whom Debtor does not
reasonably object) to conduct field audits of the Collateral, following reasonable prior notice, at
least twice each year and shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the costs of such field audits as
set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Loan Agreement. Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender
upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with any
such examination or inspection conducted by the Agent or such Lender while any Event of Default or
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event
of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

          (p) Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction initial financing statements and/or any amendments
thereto which (i) indicate the Collateral (A) as “all assets”, “all personal property” or “all
personal property and fixtures” of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any
particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Missouri (the “Missouri UCC”) or such other jurisdiction or (B) as
being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain any other information
required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification
number issued to Debtor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of
real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish

- 340 -

 

any such information to
the Agent promptly upon request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have
filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

          (q) Debtor hereby agrees, in each case at Debtor’s own expense, to take the following actions
with respect to the following Collateral:

     (i) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or other
instruments or tangible chattel paper, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Agent may from
time to time specify;

     (ii) if Debtor shall at any time open or maintain a deposit account, Debtor
will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of
the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’
option) (A) cause the depository bank to agree to comply at any time with
instructions from the Agent to such depository bank directing the disposition of
funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of
Debtor or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the customer of the depository bank
with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit
account. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions or
withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor unless an Event of Default or an event
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an
Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which
Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent have entered into a cash collateral
agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depository bank and the Agent for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) deposit accounts for which the Agent is
the depository and (C) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of
Debtor’s employees;

     (iii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or
its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent
and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor
will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause the issuer to
agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of Debtor or such nominee or (B) arrange for the Agent to become the
registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are
held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and

- 341 -

 

Lenders thereof in writing
and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will, pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, either (at
the Required Lenders’ option) (A) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
other instructions from the Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
securities or other investment property, or to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Agent to such commodity
intermediary, as the case may be, in each case without further consent of Debtor or
such nominee or (B) in the case of financial assets or other investment property
held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Agent to become the
entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
otherwise deal with such investment property. Agent agrees with Debtor that Agent
will not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such
issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and will not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor,
unless an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has
occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Agent is the
securities intermediary;

     (iv) if any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor will
promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the
Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that the bailee
holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Agent and shall act upon the
instructions of the Agent, without the further consent of Debtor. Agent agrees with
Debtor that Agent will not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default or
an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing;

     (v) if any of the Collateral is located on any premises not owned by Debtor,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof in writing and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will promptly cause each Person having any
right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such premises to enter into an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders whereby such
Person disclaims any right, title or interest in, and/or Lien on, the Collateral and
allows entry upon such premises and the removal of the Collateral from such premises
by the Agent or its agents or representatives;

     (vi) if Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201
of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders thereof and, at the
request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action as the Required
Lenders may reasonably request to vest in the Agent control, under Section 9-105 of
the Missouri UCC, of such electronic chattel paper and control under Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16
of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be, as so in effect in
such jurisdiction, of such transferable record;

- 342 -

 

     (vii) if Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or
hereafter issued in favor of Debtor, Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and
Lenders thereof in writing and, at the request of the Required Lenders, Debtor will,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Lenders, either (at the Required Lenders’ option) (A) arrange for the
issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the
Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for
the Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the
proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit to be applied to the payment of
the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their
discretion, shall elect;

     (viii) if Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim,
Debtor will promptly notify the Agent and Lenders in a writing signed by Debtor of
the brief details thereof and grant to the Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

     (ix) Debtor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the
ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security interest in and lien on any
and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering
and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto
under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature
thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured
party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition
to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the
Agent’s security interest in and lien on such Collateral and delivering the original
of such certificate of title (with the Agent’s security interest and lien so noted)
to the Agent, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty
of any governmental body, entity, authority, agency or instrumentality as to any
Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment,
perfection or priority of, or ability of the Agent to enforce, the Agent’s security
interest in and lien on such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental, regulatory and
other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent
of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining
waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Lenders and (f) taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or by other law, as applicable in any relevant
Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign
jurisdiction; and

     (x) with respect to accounts with respect to which the account debtor is the
United States of America, any state of the United States of America or any other
governmental body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, if requested by the Required Lenders, Debtor will take such action and
execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents and instruments as may be
necessary or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request to insure that such
accounts are duly assigned to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in
compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory requirements (including,
without limitation, to the extent applicable, the Federal Assignment of Claims Act
of 1940, as amended, so that the Agent is recognized by the account debtor to have
all of the rights of an assignee of such accounts;

- 343 -

 

          (r) Debtor will reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for (i) all costs and expenses
incident to perfecting, maintaining or terminating the security interest granted by this Agreement,
including search fees, filing and recording fees, fees for obtaining and transferring certificates
of title and all taxes and legal and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or incurred by the
Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any of the foregoing and (ii) all costs and expenses,

and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any rights under this Agreement or incurred by
the Agent and/or any Lender in seeking to collect or enforce any of the Secured Obligations, all of
which costs and expenses shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by
Debtor to the Agent and the Lenders on demand; and

          (s) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth a
complete list of all of the filing office(s) where financing statement(s) must be filed in order to
perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable laws of any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral is or may be “located”
(as “located” is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law).

     3. Representations and Covenants of Debtor re: Accounts, Inventory and Other
Collateral. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender, and covenants
and agrees with the Agent and each Lender, that:

          (a) Debtor will provide the Agent and Lenders with a written Borrowing Base Certificate on or
before the last day of each month as required under Section 3.1(b) of the Loan Agreement (or at
such other intervals as the Required Lenders shall require from time to time), reflecting activity
of Debtor up to and including the last day of the preceding month (each, a “Borrowing Base
Certificate”) describing, in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to the Required
Lenders, all Accounts created or acquired by Debtor subsequent to the immediately preceding
Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, Debtor, immediately upon demand by the Required Lenders,
now and from time to time hereafter, shall execute and deliver to the Agent and Lenders schedules

          (b) With respect to accounts scheduled, listed or referred to on any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed on the
applicable Borrowing Base Certificate or other report (i) they are genuine, in all respects what
they purport to be and are not evidenced by a judgment; (ii) they represent undisputed, bona fide
transactions completed in accordance with the terms and provisions contained in the invoices and

any reason; (iv) no payments have been or shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) there are no setoffs,
counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and Debtor has not made any
agreement with any account debtor thereof for any deduction therefrom except a discount or
allowance allowed by Debtor in the ordinary course of its business for prompt payment; (vi) to the

adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition; and (xi) all of such accounts are
subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (c) Any officers, employees or agents of the Lenders shall have the right, at any time or
times hereafter, in the name of such Lender and/or Debtor or in the name of a nominee of such
Lender,
to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any accounts by mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise. All costs, fees and expenses relating thereto incurred by any Lender (or
for which any Lender becomes obligated) during the continuation of any Event of Default or any
event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event of
Default under this Agreement shall become part of the Secured Obligations and be payable by Debtor
to such Lender on demand;

          (d) Debtor will at all times maintain a record of accounts at its chief executive office,
keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the names and addresses of account
debtors, relevant invoice numbers, shipping dates and due dates, collection histories and account
agings, all of which records shall be available during such Debtor’s usual business hours at the
request of the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents.
Debtor will cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees
and agents who shall have the right at any time or times to inspect the accounts and the records
with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct a review (or cause its independent certified public
accountants to conduct a review) of its bad debt reserves and collection histories at least once
each year and promptly following such review shall supply the Agent and each Lender with a report
in a form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders
concerning such review of the accounts (which report may consist of a management letter from
Debtor’s independent certified public accountants if such accountants conducted such bad debt
reserve review);

          (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, Debtor will: (i) promptly upon
Debtor’s learning thereof, inform the Agent and Lenders, in writing, of any material delay in
Debtor’s performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible
Account in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and of any assertion of any claims, offsets or
counterclaims in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 by any account debtor with respect to any
Eligible Account and of any allowances, credits and/or other monies in an amount in excess of
$10,000.00 granted by Debtor to any account debtor with respect to any Eligible Account; (ii) not
permit or agree to any extension, compromise or settlement or make any change or modification of
any kind or nature with respect to any Eligible Account, including any of the terms relating
thereto; (iii) promptly upon Debtor’s

- 345 -

 

receipt or learning thereof, furnish to and inform the
Lenders of all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account
debtor who in the aggregate owes Debtor more than $20,000.00; and (iv) promptly upon Debtor’s
learning thereof, notify the Lenders in writing which of its then existing accounts involving an
amount in excess of $20,000.00 are no longer Eligible Accounts;

          (f) The Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice
thereof to Debtor: (i) to notify any or all account debtors that the accounts have been assigned to
the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; (ii) to direct such account debtors
to make all payments due from them to Debtor upon the accounts directly to the Agent; and (iii) to
enforce payment of and collect, by legal proceedings or otherwise, the accounts in the name of the
Agent and/or Debtor;

          (g) Debtor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as and
when due, all amounts due with respect to accounts;

          (h) With respect to inventory scheduled, listed or referred to in any Borrowing Base
Certificate or other report submitted by Debtor or any other Obligor to the Lenders, Debtor
represents and warrants to the Agent and Lenders that, except as otherwise disclosed in such
Borrowing Base Certificate or other report: (i) such inventory is located at Debtor’s chief
executive office, one of the other locations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference or another location with respect to which Debtor has complied with
all of the requirements of Section 2(h) of this Agreement; (ii) Debtor has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to such inventory and such inventory is not subject to any Lien or claim
whatsoever except for Permitted Liens; (iii) such inventory is of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects; (iv) such inventory is not subject to any licensing, patent,
royalty,
trademark, trade name or copyright agreements with any third parties; (v) the completion of
manufacture and sale or other disposition of such inventory by the Agent following an Event of
Default will not require the consent of any Person and will not constitute a breach or default
under any contract or agreement to which Debtor is a party or to which any of the inventory is
subject; (vi) such inventory has not been produced in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
is not subject to the so-called “hot goods” provision contained in Title 29 U.S.C. §215(a)(1);
(vii) such inventory is not on consignment with Debtor and (viii) such inventory is subject to a
first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent;

          (i) Debtor will at all times maintain a perpetual inventory system keeping correct and
accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of inventory and of
Eligible Inventory, Debtor’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto,
all of which records shall be available during Debtor’s usual business hours at the request of the
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective officers, employees or agents. Debtor will
cooperate fully with the Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, employees and agents
who shall have the right during normal business hours and/or at other reasonable time or times to
inspect Debtor’s inventory and the records with respect thereto. Debtor will conduct such physical
counts of all or any portion of its inventory as any Lender may from time to time reasonably
request and will supply Agent and each Lender with a report in a form and with such specificity as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders concerning any physical count of any or all
of the inventory of Debtor (whether such count was requested by the Required Lenders or not); and

          (j) Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of any of
the inventory; (ii) any loss or damage to any of the inventory; (iii) any diminution in the value
of any of the inventory; or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or any other Person. As between Debtor, on the one hand, and the Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, all risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the
inventory shall be borne by Debtor.

- 346 -

 

Debtor will not sell any inventory to any customer on
consignment or on approval or on any other basis which entitles the customer to return, or which
may obligate Debtor to repurchase, such inventory. From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default under this Agreement and so long as any such Event of Default is continuing, the Required
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, may require that inventory be stored with a bailee,
warehouseman or similar party and warehouse receipts therefor be issued in the Agent’s name and be
delivered to the Agent. Debtor agrees to do whatever acts are required to effectuate the
foregoing.

     4. Lockbox and Blocked Account. Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain
throughout the term of this Agreement a lock box (the “Lock Box”) in Debtor’s name with a bank (the
“Collecting Bank”) which is acceptable to the Required Lenders (subject to irrevocable instructions
acceptable to the Required Lenders as hereinafter set forth) to which all account debtors shall
directly remit all payments on accounts and in which Debtor shall immediately deposit all cash
payments made for inventory and other cash payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the
identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash, check or otherwise. In addition,
Debtor hereby agrees to establish and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement a depository
account at the Collecting Bank (the “Blocked Account”). The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and
agree, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Lenders, that all payments made to the Lock Box and
the Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent and that the Collecting Bank
has no right of setoff against the Lock Box or the Blocked Account and that all such payments,
whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Lock Box or Blocked
Account or otherwise received by Debtor and whether on the accounts or as proceeds of any other
Collateral or otherwise are and will be the sole and exclusive property of the Agent. Debtor shall
irrevocably instruct the Collecting Bank to on a daily basis on each Business Day (a) transfer all
payments or deposits to Debtor’s Lock Box into Debtor’s Blocked Account and (b) transfer all funds
in Debtor’s Blocked Account (by way of debit, ACH debit, wire transfer or other
means, as directed by Agent) to an account of the Agent at First Bank or such other bank as the
Agent may from time to time specify in writing to be applied by the Agent to the payment of the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall
elect. Debtor shall have no right to withdraw any funds out of the Lock Box and/or the Blocked
Account. Debtor, and each of its Affiliates, employees, agents and/or other Persons acting for or
in concert with Debtor, shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive
property of the Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts and any other payments relating to and/or
proceeds of accounts and/or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of
Debtor or any Affiliates, employees, agents or other Persons acting for or in concert with Debtor,
and immediately upon receipt thereof, Debtor or such Persons shall cause the same to be deposited
into Debtor’s Lock Box.

     5. Additional Actions by the Agent. The Agent, at its option, may from time to time
perform any agreement of Debtor hereunder which Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other
action which the Agent in good faith deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of
the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or
Liens of any kind against the Collateral or the procurement of insurance or the payment of
warehousing charges, landlord’s bills or other charges), and Debtor agrees to forthwith reimburse
the Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the foregoing,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) Four and One-Fourth
Percent (4.25%) over and above the Prime Rate (fluctuating as and when the Prime Rate changes) and
(b) the highest rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date incurred until reimbursed
by Debtor. The Agent may for the foregoing purposes act in its own name or that of Debtor and may
also so act for the purposes of adjusting, settling or cancelling any policy of insurance on the
Collateral or endorsing any draft received in connection therewith, in payment of a loss or
otherwise, for all of which purposes Debtor hereby grants to the Agent its power of attorney,
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

- 347 -

 

     6. Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) Debtor shall fail to pay any of the
Secured Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by reason of demand,
maturity, acceleration or otherwise; (b) Debtor shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in Sections 2(a), 2(g), 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), 2(n),
2(o), 2(q), 3(a), 3(d), 3(e), 3(i) or 4 of this Agreement; (c) Debtor shall fail to perform or
observe of any of the other terms, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
and any such failure shall remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) written
notice of default is given to Debtor by the Agent or any Lender or (ii) any officer of Debtor
obtains knowledge of such default; (d) any representation or warranty made by Debtor in this
Agreement shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect; (e) any “Event of Default”
(as defined therein) shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement; or (f) any
default or event of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any other agreement,
document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Debtor with or in favor of the
Agent which is not cured or waived within any applicable cure or grace period (if any).

     7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default
under this Agreement: (a) whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations are declared to be
forthwith due and payable, the Agent shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral covered hereby, and, for that purpose may pursue the same wherever said Collateral may
be found, and may enter upon any of the premises of Debtor with or without process of law and
without breach of the peace, wherever said Collateral may be or may be supposed to be, and search
for the same, and, if found, take possession of and remove and sell and dispose of said Collateral,
or any part thereof; (b) the Agent shall have the right to notify any account debtor with respect
to any account to make all payments under the accounts directly to the Agent and demand, collect,
receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose and realize on the accounts and all
amounts due under the accounts as the Agent may determine; (c) the Agent shall have the right to
exercise such of the other rights and remedies accruing to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction or jurisdictions and any other
applicable law upon default by a debtor as the Agent may elect; (d) the Agent shall have the right
to enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premises where the
books and records of Debtor pertaining to the accounts or any of the other Collateral are or may be
located, and without charge or liability on the part of the Agent therefor seize and remove said
books and records from said premises or remain upon said premises and use the same for the purpose
of collecting, preparing and disposing of the Collateral and/or for the purpose of identifying and
locating any of the Collateral; and (e) the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint,
remove and reappoint any Person or Persons, including, without limitation, any employee or agent of
the Agent or any Lender to be a receiver (each, a “Receiver”), which term shall include a receiver
and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the Collateral. Any such Receiver shall, as far
as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed to be the agent of Debtor and not of the Agent
or any Lender, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall in any way be responsible for any
misconduct, negligence or non-feasance of any such Receiver, its employees or agents. Except as
otherwise directed by all of the Lenders, all monies received by any Receiver shall be received in
trust for and paid to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Debtor shall pay all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Receiver, whether directly or for services
rendered (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, auditor’s costs,
other legal expenses and Receiver remuneration) in enforcing this Agreement, realizing on all or
any part of the Collateral and/or in enforcing or collecting the Secured Obligations, and all such
expenses shall be part of the Secured Obligations and be payable on the demand of the Agent. Debtor
shall, upon the Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make the Collateral available to the
Agent at any place designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to Debtor.

- 348 -

 

     8. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties
on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental, regulatory or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether
or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in
the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the
Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8 is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section 8. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on the
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the
absence of this Section 8.

     9. Foreclosure. Foreclosure on the Collateral covered hereby may be had at public or
private sale or sales, disposing of such portion or portions of the Collateral at each such sale,
for cash or on credit, on such terms, at such place or places, and with or without the Collateral
being present at such sale, all as the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine
from time to time. In the case of public sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be
adequate and reasonable if such notice shall appear three (3) times in a newspaper published in the
City or County wherein the sale is to be held, the first such publication being at least ten (10)
days before such sale and the last such publication being not more than three (3) days before such
sale. In the case of a private sale, notice thereof shall be deemed and held to be adequate and
reasonable if such notice shall be mailed to Debtor at its last known address at least ten (10)
days before such sale. The enumeration of these methods of notice shall not be deemed or construed
to render unreasonable any other method of notice which would otherwise be reasonable under the
circumstances. Debtor agrees that the Agent may, in connection with any such sale, specifically
disclaim any warranties of title or the like with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
being sold.

     10. Application of Proceeds and Deficiency. The Agent may apply the net proceeds of
any sale, lease, license or other disposition of any of the Collateral or of any other collection
of any of the Collateral or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling, leasing, licensing or the like of the Collateral on Debtor’s premises, or elsewhere, or in
any way related to the Agent’s rights under

- 349 -

 

this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, bonds and other legal expenses, insurance,
security guard and alarm expenses incurred in connection with the holding of the Collateral,
advertisements of sale of the Collateral, and rental and utilities expense on the premises or
elsewhere in connection with storage and sale of the Collateral) to the payment, in whole or in
part, of the Secured Obligations, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, and only after
payment by the Agent of any other amounts required by any existing or future provision of law
(including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable statutory provision of
any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may at the time be located) need the Agent
account to Debtor for the surplus, if any. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit,
unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in writing, the Secured Obligations will be
credited only with payments actually received by the Agent from the purchaser with respect to such
credit obligation; and in the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Agent may
resell the Collateral and the Secured Obligations will be credited with the proceeds received from
such resale. The proceeds of any sale(s), lease(s), license(s) or other disposition(s) of any of
the Collateral and/or of any collection(s) of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent
in the following order: (a) first, to the payment of all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement
of the Secured Obligations and the sale or other realization upon the Collateral; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve Debtor of its obligation to pay such costs,
expenses, liabilities and advances; (b) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such
order and manner as the Required Lenders, in their discretion, shall elect; and (c) third, to the
payment of any surplus remaining after the payment of the amounts mentioned, to Debtor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the
Lenders for the payment of any deficiency, with interest.

     11. The Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, Debtor shall remain liable under each contract or agreement
comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Agent shall not
have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor
shall the Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or
pursuant to any such contract or agreement,
to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent in respect of
the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent
may be entitled at any time or times. The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe
keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Missouri UCC, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto.

     12. Amendments; Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No delay on the part of the Agent
and/or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Each and every right and remedy granted to the Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents, or at law or in
equity, shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement and no waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
and signed by the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case

- 350 -

 

may be, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by the Agent and/or any Lender of any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Agent and/or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. This Agreement may not be
amended except by a writing duly signed by Debtor and the Agent and consented to by the Required
Lenders. The headings of the paragraphs hereof shall not be considered in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     13. Irrevocable Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent) as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of Debtor with full power of substitution to: (a) if any Event of Default under
this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) demand payment of accounts, (ii) enforce payment
of accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Debtor’s rights and remedies
with respect to proceedings brought to collect accounts, (iv) sell or assign accounts upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust,
compromise, extend or renew accounts, (vi) discharge and release accounts, (vii) prepare, file and
sign Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account
debtor, (viii) notify the postal authorities of any change of the address for delivery of Debtor’s
mail to an address designated by the Agent, and open all mail addressed to Debtor for the purpose
of collecting accounts and the proceeds of any other Collateral (with all other mail to be promptly
returned to Debtor), and (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in the Agent’s good faith
discretion, to fulfill the Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) at any time, (i) take
control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds of any account or any other Collateral,
(ii) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which Debtor’s mail is deposited, (iii) endorse
Debtor’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in the Agent’s
account on account of the Secured Obligations, (iv) endorse Debtor’s name upon any chattel paper,
document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account or any goods
pertaining thereto, (v) execute in Debtor’s name and on Debtor’s behalf any financing statements
and/or continuations thereof and/or amendments thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in any jurisdiction where Debtor or any of the Collateral may be located, (vi)
endorse Debtor’s name on any verification of accounts and notices thereof to account debtors and
(vii) do any and all things necessary and take such actions in the name and on behalf of Debtor to
carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement and to perfect and protect the security interest granted to
the Agent in respect to the Collateral
and the Agent’s rights created under this Agreement. Debtor agrees that neither the Agent nor any
of its agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission
(other than for acts of commission or omission which constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order), or
for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law in respect to the exercise of the power of
attorney granted under this Section. The power of attorney granted under this Section shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement.

     14. Marshalling. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, any or all of the Secured Obligations or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all
of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and in respect of such collateral
security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any of the rights and/or remedies of the Agent and/or
any Lender under this Agreement or under any other agreement, document or instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment

- 351 -

 

thereof is otherwise
assured, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

     15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice, request,
demand, consent or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in
person or sent by facsimile, recognized overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to Debtor to the address or facsimile number of Debtor
listed on the signature page(s) of this Agreement, or if to Agent or any Lender, in care of the
Agent at 135 North Meramec, St. Louis, Missouri 63105, Attention: Traci Dodson, Telecopy No. (314)
854-5454, or at such other address or facsimile number as either party may from time to time
designate as its address or facsimile number for communications under this Agreement by notice so
given. Such notices shall be deemed effective on the day on which delivered or sent if delivered
in person or sent by facsimile (with answerback confirmation received), on the first (1st) Business
Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third (3rd)
Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     16. Applicable Law and Severability. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Missouri UCC. Any applicable
provisions of the Missouri UCC, not specifically included herein, shall be deemed a part of this
Agreement in the same manner as if set forth herein at length; and any provisions of this Agreement
that might in any manner be in conflict with any provision of the Missouri UCC shall be deemed to
be modified so as not to be inconsistent with the Missouri UCC. In all respects this Agreement and
all transactions hereunder, and all the rights of the parties, shall be governed as to validity,
construction, enforcement and in all other respects by the substantive laws of the State of
Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the perfection,
the effect of the perfection or non-perfection and the priority of the security interests and liens
created by this Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the applicable jurisdiction. To the extent any provision
of this Agreement is not enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be deemed null and
void and shall have no effect on the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     17. Successors and Assigns; Other Secured Obligations; Duration of Security Interest.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Debtor may not assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and
the security interest and lien granted by this Agreement and all of the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of Debtor under this Agreement and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto shall continue to be fully operative
until such time as (a) all of the Secured Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) there shall be no remaining commitment or obligation of the Agent
and/or any Lender to advance funds, make loans or extend credit to, and/or issue letters of credit
for the account of, any Obligor under the Loan Agreement, any other Transaction Document or
otherwise, (c) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding and (d) the Loan Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms. If claim is ever made on the Agent and/or
any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent and/or any
Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations (including payment under a
guaranty or from application of collateral) and the Agent and/or any Lender repays all or part of
said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over the Agent and/or any Lender or any Property of the Agent and/or any Lender

     The undersigned, VIRBAC AH, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Pledgor”) hereby pledges and
delivers and grants a security interest in and general lien upon and right of setoff to First Bank,
as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for itself and the other Lenders (as defined therein) from
time to time a party to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof made by and among
the Pledgor, Virbac Corporation, a Delaware corporation, PM Resources, Inc., a Missouri
corporation, St. JON Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, Francodex Laboratories, Inc., a
Kansas corporation, Delmarva Laboratories, Inc., a Virginia corporation (collectively, with the
Pledgor, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent, as the same
may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed or restated (the “Loan Agreement”;
all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Second Amended and Restated Agreement
of Pledge (this “Agreement of Pledge”) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
Loan Agreement), as collateral security for the payment of all of the Borrowers’ Obligations to
Agent and/or any of the Lenders, now existing or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, joint
or several or joint and several, otherwise secured or unsecured, due or not due, direct or
indirect, expressed or implied in law, contractual or tortious, liquidated or unliquidated, at law
or in equity, or otherwise, and whether heretofore or hereafter incurred by the Borrowers, or any
of them, and whether as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor or otherwise (collectively, the
“Secured Obligations”), the following stocks, bonds, notes, money, commercial paper, documents,
instruments, securities and other property belonging to the Pledgor:

One Thousand (1,000) shares of Francodex Laboratories, Inc. common stock
evidenced by certificate number 2, which constitutes all of the issued and
outstanding voting stock of Francodex Laboratories, Inc.

together with all rights, income, revenues and profits therefrom, including without limitation all
dividends, distributions (cash or stock, extraordinary as well as ordinary), interest and other
payments, also together with all money, instruments, commercial paper, documents, notes, stocks,
bonds, securities, credits, choses in action, claims, demands, and any interests therein, as well
as any other property, rights and interests, of the Pledgor which from time to time hereafter shall
be delivered to or come into the possession, custody or control of the Agent or any of the Lenders,
or any of their respective agents and for any purpose, including without limitation (i) items in
transit to or from or set apart for Agent, any such Lender or any of their respective agents or
correspondents, (ii) the balance of every deposit account of the Pledgor now or hereinafter
existing with the Agent or any of the Lenders, whether general, special or for any specific
purpose, which deposit accounts may be set off against any or all of said Secured Obligations at
any time, whether or not the same be then due, and (iii) any other property of the Pledgor from
whatever source derived, real and/or personal, in which the Pledgor hereafter grants to the Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance,
together with all additions to any of the foregoing, substitutions or replacements thereof, changes
in any of the foregoing, and all proceeds and products of any of the foregoing (collectively,
“collateral security”).

     The Agent shall have the right at any time after default of the Borrowers, or any of them,
with respect to the Secured Obligations, at the direction of the Required Lenders: (1) to transfer
or cause to be transferred to or registered in the name of the Agent, or its nominee or nominees,
all or any portion of the collateral security, and thereafter to exercise all rights with respect
thereto as the absolute owner thereof, all without notice to or liability to the Pledgor, except to
account for property actually received by Agent; provided, however, that Agent and the Lenders may
treat all cash proceeds as additional collateral security and such proceeds need not be applied to
the reduction of the Secured Obligations unless Agent and the Lenders so elect; (2) in Agent’s
name, or in the name of the Pledgor, demand, sue for, collect and receive money, securities and
other property which may at any time be payable or receivable on account

- 357 -

 

of or in exchange for any
collateral security, or make any compromise or settlement that Agent considers desirable with
respect thereto or renew or extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of
any obligation included in the collateral security; provided, however, it is expressly agreed that
neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be obligated to take any step to preserve rights against
prior parties on any of the collateral security, and that reasonable care of the collateral
security shall not include the taking of any such step; (3) foreclose the lien of any security
interest included in the collateral security and become the purchaser, or have any one or more of
the Lenders become the purchaser, of the property constituting any such collateral security without
thereby affecting the Secured Obligations or any liability of the Pledgor to Agent and/or the
Lenders; (4) transfer any of the Secured Obligations and any collateral security therefor, with
Agent and the Lenders being thereafter fully discharged from every claim and responsibility with
respect to any such Secured Obligations and collateral security so transferred; and (5) surrender
or deliver, without further liability on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders to account
therefor, all or any part of the collateral security to or upon the written order of the Pledgor,
permit substitutions therefor or additions thereto, and accept the receipt of the Pledgor for any
collateral security, which receipt shall be a full and complete discharge of Agent and each of the
Lenders as to the Pledgor with respect to the collateral security so delivered.

     The condition of this pledge is that if default be made by the Borrowers, or any of them, in
the payment of any of the Secured Obligations when due, whether by reason of demand, acceleration
or otherwise, Agent may: (1) appropriate and apply toward the payment and discharge of any such
Secured Obligations, moneys on deposit or otherwise held by Agent and/or any of the Lenders for the
account of, to the credit of, or belonging to the Pledgor; (2) sell or cause to be sold any
collateral security; and (3) exercise any or all the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code of Missouri (the “Code”).

     Any sale of collateral security may be made without demand of performance and any requirement
of the Code for reasonable notice to the Pledgor shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage
prepaid, to the Pledgor at its address as it appears herein or as last shown on the records of
Agent at least ten business days before the time of sale, disposition or other event giving rise to
the notice. The Pledgor agrees it shall be reasonable for the Agent to sell the collateral
security on credit for present or future delivery without any assumption of any credit risk. In
case of a public sale, notice published by Agent for ten days in a newspaper of general circulation
in the City of St. Louis shall be sufficient. The proceeds of any sale or sales of collateral
security shall be applied by Agent and the Lenders in the following order: (1) to expenses,
including without limitation legal fees and expenses, arising from any one or more of the
enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, the enforcement of any of the Secured Obligations, any
actual or attempted sale, or representation of Agent and the Lenders in connection with bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings; (2) to the payment or the reduction of any one or combination of the
Secured Obligations to Agent and the Lenders with the right of the Agent to distribute or allocate
such proceeds as Agent and the Required Lenders shall elect, and their determination with respect
to such allocation shall be conclusive; (3) to the payment of any surplus remaining after payment
of the amounts mentioned, to the Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

     The Pledgor hereby expressly waives: (a) any irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability of
any of the Secured Obligations hereby secured; (b) notice of the acceptance hereof by Agent or any
of the Lenders; (c) notice of the existence of or amendment or modification to or waiver or other
actions or inactions by Agent or any of the Lenders with respect to any of said Secured Obligations
of the Borrowers, or any of them, and any security or guaranties therefor; (d) notice of default by
the Borrowers, or any of them, in the payment of any of the Secured Obligations; (e) presentment,
demand for payment, protest, and notice of dishonor and of protest of any such Secured Obligations;
or (f) any other notice of any kind or character.

- 358 -

 

     The Pledgor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution and indemnity whatsoever with respect to each of the Borrowers and shall have no right
of recourse to or with respect to any assets or property of any of the Borrowers or to any
collateral owned by
any of the Borrowers for the Secured Obligations secured hereby unless and until all of said
Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit issued for the account of
any of the Borrowers remain outstanding and all commitments of Agent and the Lenders to make any
Loans or other advances to or for the benefit of any of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents have been terminated. The Pledgor shall have no right of
subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity whatsoever and no right of recourse to or
with respect to any assets or property of any guarantor or guarantors or to any collateral not
owned by the Borrowers for the Secured Obligations secured hereby unless and until all of said
Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit issued for the account of
any of the Borrowers remain outstanding and all commitments of Agent and the Lenders to make any
Loans or other advances to or for the benefit of any of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents have been terminated.

     The Pledgor hereby expressly consents: (a) to the terms and conditions of any present and
future agreements executed by the Borrowers, or any of them, evidencing, amending or modifying in
any way, the Secured Obligations or in connection therewith regarding disposition of any security
or guaranties for any of the Secured Obligations; (b) to the terms and conditions of any present
and future amendments, modifications, waivers or other actions or inactions by Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the Secured Obligations or any security or guaranties therefor; (c) that
Agent and the Lenders may deal with the collateral security hereby pledged as the absolute property
of the Borrowers, and, when deemed desirable by Agent and the Required Lenders, Agent may, for and
in the name, place and stead of the Pledgor, execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer without notice to the Pledgor; and (d) that Agent may deliver all such
collateral security to any of the Borrowers or make such disposition thereof as any of the
Borrowers may instruct.

     The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that the Pledgor is the
legal and equitable owner of the collateral security free and clear of any and all liens, security
interests, charges and encumbrances of every kind and nature, and that the Pledgor has full right,
power and authority to pledge, assign and deliver the collateral security hereunder.

     The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver such
additional assignments, agreements and instruments as Agent or any of the Lenders may at any time
reasonably request in order to better assure and confirm to Agent and the Lenders their respective
rights, powers and remedies hereunder. The Pledgor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the
Agent the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor with full power of substitution
to execute, endorse and deliver such agreements, documents and instruments and to take such other
action in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the
intent of this Agreement of Pledge, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement of Pledge, and to perfect and protect the security interest
granted to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in respect of the collateral security and
Agent’s rights created under this Agreement of Pledge, which power of attorney is irrevocable
during the term of this Agreement of Pledge. This power of attorney shall in all respects
constitute a durable power of attorney.

     The rights and power of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement of Pledge (1) are
cumulative and do not exclude any other right which the Agent or any such Lender may have
independent of this Agreement of Pledge; and (2) may be exercised or not exercised at the
discretion of Agent and/or the Lenders (i) without regard to any rights of the Pledgor, (ii)
without forfeiture or waiver because of any

- 359 -

 

delay in the exercise thereof, (iii) without imposing
any liability on Agent or any of the Lenders for so exercising or failing to exercise, and (iv) in
the event of a single or partial exercise thereof, without precluding further exercise thereof.

     No delay or omission on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder and no waiver
shall be construed as
a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy in the future. In case any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement of Pledge should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     This Agreement of Pledge shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns (including without limitation any assignees of any of the Secured
Obligations secured hereby). This Agreement of Pledge is binding upon the Pledgor and the
shareholders, directors, officers, administrators, agents, successors and assigns of the Pledgor.
All pronoun references to the neuter gender herein shall include their masculine and feminine
counterparts. The terms of this Agreement of Pledge, the pledge of the collateral security
hereunder, and the lien created hereby are continuing and shall apply to all existing transactions
and to all future transactions, although such transactions may not be continuous. Revocation or
termination of this Agreement of Pledge, whether by operation of law or otherwise, shall be
effective only when written notice thereof shall have been received by Agent and the Lenders, but
no such revocation or termination shall affect or impair the pledge of collateral security or the
lien hereby created as to any Secured Obligations secured hereby or any commitment by Agent and/or
any of the Lenders to extend credit at the time of receipt by Agent and the Lenders of such notice.

     This Agreement of Pledge shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Missouri.

     If at any time or times hereafter Agent or any of the Lenders: (a) employs counsel (including
attorneys who are employees of Agent or such Lender and/or any of their respective affiliates) for
advice or other representation (i) with respect to the collateral security, this Agreement of
Pledge or the administration thereof, (ii) to represent Agent or such Lender in any litigation,
contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend or intervene or to take any other
action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether
instituted by Agent, any Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other person) in any way or respect
relating to the collateral security or this Agreement of Pledge, and/or (iii) to enforce any rights
of Agent or such Lender against the Borrowers, or any of them, the Pledgor or any other person
which may be obligated to Agent and the Lenders by virtue of this Agreement of Pledge; (b) takes
any action with respect to the collateral security, or to protect, collect, sell, liquidate or
otherwise dispose of the collateral security; and/or (c) attempts to or enforces Agent’s interest
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the collateral security, or any of Agent’s or such
Lender’s rights and remedies against the Pledgor, the reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred
by Agent and/or any such Lender in any manner or way with respect to the foregoing shall be payable
by the Pledgor to Agent and/or such Lender on demand.

     THE PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT SUBJECT TO AGENT’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OF
PLEDGE OR THE COLLATERAL SECURITY SHALL BE LITIGATED ONLY IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE COUNTY
OF ST. LOUIS, STATE OF MISSOURI. THE PLEDGOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF
ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL

- 360 -

 

COURT LOCATED WITHIN SAID COUNTY AND STATE. THE PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE OR ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS SECTION. THE PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION IN WHICH THE PLEDGOR AND ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE AGENT AND/OR THE
LENDERS ARE PARTIES.

     IN THE EVENT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREBY ARE PAYABLE UPON DEMAND, NEITHER
THIS AGREEMENT OF PLEDGE NOR ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO ALTER OR IMPINGE UPON THE
DEMAND CHARACTER OF SUCH SECURED OBLIGATION.

unless and until all of said Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit
issued for the account of any of the Borrowers remain outstanding and all commitments of Agent and
the Lenders to make any Loans or other advances to or for the benefit of any of the Borrowers under
the Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents have been terminated.

     The Pledgor hereby expressly consents: (a) to the terms and conditions of any present and
future agreements executed by the Borrowers, or any of them, evidencing, amending or modifying in
any way, the Secured Obligations or in connection therewith regarding disposition of any security
or guaranties for any of the Secured Obligations; (b) to the terms and conditions of any present
and future amendments, modifications, waivers or other actions or inactions by Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the Secured Obligations or any security or guaranties therefor; (c) that
Agent and the Lenders may deal with the collateral security hereby pledged as the absolute property
of the Borrowers, and, when deemed desirable by Agent and the Required Lenders, Agent may, for and
in the name, place and stead of the Pledgor, execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer without notice to the Pledgor; and (d) that Agent may deliver all such
collateral security to any of the Borrowers or make such disposition thereof as any of the
Borrowers may instruct.

     The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that the Pledgor is the
legal and equitable owner of the collateral security free and clear of any and all liens, security
interests, charges and encumbrances of every kind and nature, and that the Pledgor has full right,
power and authority to pledge, assign and deliver the collateral security hereunder.

     The Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver such
additional assignments, agreements and instruments as Agent or any of the Lenders may at any time
reasonably request in order to better assure and confirm to Agent and the Lenders their respective
rights, powers and remedies hereunder. The Pledgor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the
Agent the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor with full power of substitution
to execute, endorse and deliver

- 364 -

 

such agreements, documents and instruments and to take such other
action in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the
intent of this Agreement of Pledge, including, without limitation, the grant of the security
interest granted under this Agreement of Pledge, and to perfect and protect the security interest
granted to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in respect of the collateral security and
Agent’s rights created under this Agreement of Pledge, which power of attorney is irrevocable
during the term of this Agreement of Pledge. This power of attorney shall in all respects
constitute a durable power of attorney.

     The rights and power of Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement of Pledge (1) are
cumulative and do not exclude any other right which the Agent or any such Lender may have
independent of this Agreement of Pledge; and (2) may be exercised or not exercised at the
discretion of Agent and/or the Lenders (i) without regard to any rights of the Pledgor, (ii)
without forfeiture or waiver because of any delay in the exercise
thereof, (iii) without imposing any liability on Agent or any of the Lenders for so exercising or
failing to exercise, and (iv) in the event of a single or partial exercise thereof, without
precluding further exercise thereof.

     No delay or omission on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder and no waiver
shall be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy in the future. In case any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Agreement of Pledge should be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     This Agreement of Pledge shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns (including without limitation any assignees of any of the Secured
Obligations secured hereby). This Agreement of Pledge is binding upon the Pledgor and the
shareholders, directors, officers, administrators, agents, successors and assigns of the Pledgor.
All pronoun references to the neuter gender herein shall include their masculine and feminine
counterparts. The terms of this Agreement of Pledge, the pledge of the collateral security
hereunder, and the lien created hereby are continuing and shall apply to all existing transactions
and to all future transactions, although such transactions may not be continuous. Revocation or
termination of this Agreement of Pledge, whether by operation of law or otherwise, shall be
effective only when written notice thereof shall have been received by Agent and the Lenders, but
no such revocation or termination shall affect or impair the pledge of collateral security or the
lien hereby created as to any Secured Obligations secured hereby or any commitment by Agent and/or
any of the Lenders to extend credit at the time of receipt by Agent and the Lenders of such notice.

     This Agreement of Pledge shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Missouri.

     If at any time or times hereafter Agent or any of the Lenders: (a) employs counsel (including
attorneys who are employees of Agent or such Lender and/or any of their respective affiliates) for
advice or other representation (i) with respect to the collateral security, this Agreement of
Pledge or the administration thereof, (ii) to represent Agent or such Lender in any litigation,
contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend or intervene or to take any other
action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether
instituted by Agent, any Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other person) in any way or respect
relating to the collateral security or this Agreement of Pledge, and/or (iii) to enforce any rights
of Agent or such Lender against the Borrowers, or any of them, the Pledgor or any other person
which may be obligated to Agent and the Lenders by virtue of this Agreement of Pledge; (b) takes
any action with respect to the collateral security, or to protect, collect,

- 365 -

 

sell, liquidate or
otherwise dispose of the collateral security; and/or (c) attempts to or enforces Agent’s interest
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in the collateral security, or any of Agent’s or such
Lender’s rights and remedies against the Pledgor, the reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred
by Agent and/or
any such Lender in any manner or way with respect to the foregoing shall be payable by the Pledgor
to Agent and/or such Lender on demand.

     THE PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT SUBJECT TO AGENT’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OF
PLEDGE OR THE COLLATERAL SECURITY SHALL BE LITIGATED ONLY IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE COUNTY
OF ST. LOUIS, STATE OF MISSOURI. THE PLEDGOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF
ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN SAID COUNTY AND STATE. THE PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE OR ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS SECTION. THE PLEDGOR, THE AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION IN WHICH THE PLEDGOR AND ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE AGENT AND/OR THE
LENDERS ARE PARTIES.

     IN THE EVENT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREBY ARE PAYABLE UPON DEMAND, NEITHER
THIS AGREEMENT OF PLEDGE NOR ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO ALTER OR IMPINGE UPON THE
DEMAND CHARACTER OF SUCH SECURED OBLIGATION.

“Secured Obligations”).

     2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby represents and
warrants to Agent and the Lenders, and covenants and agrees with Agent and the Lenders, that:

- 368 -

 

     (a) all of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses are subsisting and have not been
adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and are not at this time the subject
of any challenge to their validity or enforceability;

     (b) to the best of Debtor’s knowledge, each of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses is
valid and enforceable;

     (c) (i) no claim has been made that the use of any of the Patents, Trademarks or
Licenses does or may violate the rights of any third person, (ii) no claims for patent
infringement have been commenced in connection with any of the Patents and (iii) no claims
for trademark infringement have been commenced in connection with any of the Trademarks;

     (d) Debtor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title
and interest in and to each of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, free and clear of any
and all liens, charges and encumbrances, including, without limitation, any and all pledges,
assignments, licenses, registered user agreements, shop rights and covenants by Debtor not
to sue third persons;

     (e) Debtor has the unqualified right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and perform its terms;

     (f) Debtor has used, and will continue to use for the duration of this Agreement,
proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the registered Patents and Trademarks;

     (g) Debtor has the exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the Patents,
Trademarks and Licenses and agrees not to transfer any rights or interest in any of the
Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses during the term of this Agreement; and

     (h) Debtor has no notice of any suits or actions commenced or threatened with reference
to any of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses.

     3. Inspection Rights; Product Quality. Debtor will permit inspection of Debtor’s
facilities which manufacture, inspect or store products sold under any of the Patents, Trademarks
and/or Licenses and inspection of the products and records relating thereto by Agent or any of the
Lenders during normal business hours and at other reasonable times. Debtor will reimburse Agent
and the Lenders upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any of the Lenders in
connection with any such inspection conducted by Agent or any of the Lenders while any Default or
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing. A representative of
Debtor may be present during any such inspection, provided that a particular representative’s
availability or unavailability shall not inhibit or delay such inspection. Debtor agrees (a) to
maintain the quality of any and all products in connection with which the Trademarks are used,
consistent with commercially reasonable practices and (b) to provide Agent and the Lenders, upon
Agent’s or any Lender’s reasonable request from time to time, with a certificate of any officer of
Debtor certifying Debtor’s compliance with the forgoing.

     4. Further Assurances. Debtor hereby agrees that, until (a) all of the Secured
Obligations shall have been paid in full, (b) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding, (c)
Agent and the Lenders have no further commitment or obligation to make any loans or advances or
other extensions of credit to Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or otherwise and (d) the Loan
Agreement has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms, it will not, without the
prior written consent of Required Lenders,

- 369 -

 

enter into any agreement (for example, a license or
sublicense agreement) which is inconsistent with Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement or the
Loan Agreement, and Debtor agrees that it will not take
any action or permit any action to be taken by others subject to its control, including licensees,
or fail to take any action which would affect the validity or enforcement of the rights transferred
to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement. Debtor further agrees that
at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Debtor, Debtor will promptly execute and
deliver to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders any and all further instruments and
documents and take any and all further action that Agent or the Required Lenders may request in
good faith in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby with respect to the
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses or to enable Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this
Agreement with respect to the same.

     5. Additional Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. If Debtor (a) becomes aware of any
existing Patents, Trademarks or Licenses of which Debtor has not previously informed Agent and the
Lenders, (b) obtains rights to any new patentable inventions, Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses
or (c) becomes entitled to the benefit of any Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses which benefit is
not in existence on the date of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
automatically apply thereto and Debtor shall give Agent prompt written notice thereof.

     6. Modification by Lender. Debtor authorizes Agent and the Required Lenders to modify
this Agreement by amending Schedules A, B, C, D and/or
E to include any future patents and patent applications, any future trademarks, service
marks, trademark or service mark registrations, trade names, and trademark or service applications,
and any future licenses, covered by Paragraphs 1 and 5 hereof, without the signature of Debtor if
permitted by applicable law.

     7. Use of Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. So long as no Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, Debtor may use the Patents and Trademarks and
exercise its rights under the Licenses in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement on
and in connection with products sold by Debtor, for Debtor’s own benefit and account and for none
other.

     8. Default. If any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall have occurred and
be continuing, Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given it by this
Agreement, those allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which any of the Patents, Trademarks and/or
Licenses may be located and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may
immediately, without demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth next
below) or demand whatsoever to Debtor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without
advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon, all or from time to time
any of the Patents, Trademarks (together with the goodwill of Debtor associated therewith) and/or
Licenses, or any interest which Debtor may have therein, and after deducting from the proceeds of
sale or other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks or Licenses all expenses (including, without
limitation, all expenses for brokers’ fees and legal services), shall apply the residue of such
proceeds toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order and manner as Agent or the
Required Lenders may elect. Notice of any sale or other disposition of any of the Patents,
Trademarks and/or Licenses shall be given to Debtor at least five (5) Domestic Business Days before
the time of any intended public or private sale or other disposition of such Patents, Trademarks
and/or Licenses is to be made, which Debtor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale
or other disposition. At any such sale or other disposition, Agent, any Lender or Lenders or any
holder of any of the Secured Obligations may, to the extent permissible under applicable law,
purchase the whole or any part of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses sold, free from any right
of redemption on the part of Debtor, which right is hereby waived and released. Debtor agrees that
upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the use by Agent and/or any of the
Lenders of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

- 370 -

 

shall be worldwide, and without any liability for
royalties or other related charges from Agent or the Lenders to Debtor. If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to
bring suit in its own name (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) to
enforce any and all of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, and, if Agent shall commence any such
suit, Debtor shall, at the request of Agent or the Required Lenders, do any and all lawful acts and
execute any and all proper documents required by Agent or the Required Lenders in aid of such
enforcement and the Debtor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Agent and the
Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any of the Lenders in the exercise of its
rights under this Agreement. All of Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies with respect to
the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, whether established hereby, by the Security Agreement or by
any other agreement or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

     9. Termination of Agreement. At such time as (a) Borrowers shall pay all of the
Secured Obligations in full, (b) no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding, (c) Agent and the
Lenders shall have no further commitment or obligation to make any loans or advances or other
extensions of credit to Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or otherwise and (d) the Loan Agreement
shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall terminate
and Agent shall execute and deliver to Debtor all instruments as may be necessary or proper to
extinguish Agent’s security interest therein, subject to any disposition thereof which may have
been made by Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

     10. Expenses. Any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature,
including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent in
connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all other documents relating hereto and the
consummation of this transaction, the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in
connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, counsel fees,
maintenance fees, encumbrances or other amounts in connection with protecting, maintaining or
preserving the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses, or in defending or prosecuting any actions or
proceedings arising out of or related to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses, shall be borne
and paid by Debtor on demand by Agent and until so paid shall be added to the principal amount of
the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of Three
and Three-Fourths Percent (3.75%) over and above the Prime Rate (which interest rate shall
fluctuate as and when the Prime Rate shall change) or the highest rate of interest allowed by law
from the date incurred until reimbursed by Debtor.

     11. Preservation of Patents, Trademarks and Licenses. Debtor shall have the duty (a)
to file and prosecute diligently any patent, trademark or service mark applications pending as of
the date hereof or hereafter, (b) to make application on unpatented but patentable inventions and
on trademarks and service marks, as commercially reasonable and (c) to preserve and maintain all
rights in the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, as commercially reasonable. Any expenses incurred
in connection with Debtor’s obligations under this Section 11 shall be borne by Debtor.

     12. Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. If any Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor hereby authorizes and empowers Agent to
make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Agent as Agent or the Required Lenders may
select, in its or their sole discretion, as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the
power to endorse Debtor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for
Agent and/ or any of the Lenders to use the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, or to grant or issue
any exclusive or non-exclusive license under the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else,
or necessary for Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title to or dispose of the
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else. Debtor

- 371 -

 

hereby ratifies all that such attorney
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable for the duration of this Agreement.

     13. No Waiver. No course of dealing between Debtor, Agent and the Lenders, nor any
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders, any
right,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

     14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause
or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then
such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in
such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

     15. Amendments. This Agreement is subject to amendment or modification only by a
writing signed by Debtor, Agent and the Required Lenders, except as provided in Paragraph 6 above.

     16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that
Debtor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights, obligations or duties under this
Agreement.

     17. Governing Law. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the rights
and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws of the State of Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Agent have executed this Patent, Trademark and License Security
Agreement as of the date first written above.

Missouri state banking corporation, as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for First Bank, a
Missouri state banking corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a New York state banking
corporation, and any other entity which now or at any time hereafter shall execute the Amended Loan
Agreement (as herein defined) as a “Lender” (collectively, the “Lenders”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Debtor heretofore executed and delivered to First Bank, a certain Patent, Trademark
and License Security Agreement dated September 3, 2003 (as amended, the “Security Agreement”)
encumbering Debtor’s Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, and other Collateral (each as defined and more
fully described in such Security Agreement), which Security Agreement was recorded on October 13,
2003, in the Assignment Division of the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office at Reel/Frame
002731/0969, to secure the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) evidenced by,
inter alia, the Loan Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, Debtor has requested an amendment and restatement of the Loan Agreement (and of the
Notes described in the Loan Agreement) to make certain amendments thereto as more fully described
in that certain amended and restated Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith executed by and
among Debtor, Debtor’s subsidiaries, PM Resources, Inc., a Missouri corporation, St. JON

may from time to time be further amended, modified, extended, renewed or replaced, the “Amended
Loan Agreement”), and in those certain Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Line Note, as defined in
the Amended Loan Agreement (collectively, as the same may from time to time be further amended,
modified, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the “Amended Notes”); and

     WHEREAS, as one of the preconditions to the execution of the Amended Loan Agreement and
acceptance of the Amended Notes, Debtor has agreed to amend the Security Agreement as set forth
herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and for other valuable considerations,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Debtor and Agent do hereby agree as
follows:

     1. All references in the Security Agreement to the “Lender” are hereby amended and deemed to
refer to the Agent, in its capacity as Agent for each of the Lenders (as defined herein above),

     2. All references in the Security Agreement to the “Loan Agreement” and other references of
similar import are hereby amended and deemed to refer to the Amended Loan Agreement as described
hereinabove, and any amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, restatements or replacements
thereof. Capitalized terms used in the Security Agreement and not otherwise defined therein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Loan Agreement. All references in the
Security Agreement to the “Note” and other references of similar import are hereby amended and
deemed to refer

- 379 -

 

to the Amended Notes as described hereinabove, and any amendments, modifications,
extensions,
renewals, restatements or replacements thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Amended Loan Agreement, any of the Amended Notes or the Security Agreement, as hereby amended,

remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Amended Notes and the Security Agreement, as hereby
amended.

     3. The five recital paragraphs each beginning with the word “WHEREAS” on the first page of the

“Lenders”) and First Bank, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”)
have entered into that certain Loan Agreement dated as of June 29, 2006, as the same
may from time to time be amended, modified or restated (as so amended, modified or
restated, the “Loan Agreement,” all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement);
and

     WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to Agent and the Lenders entering into the
Loan Agreement, Agent and the Lenders have required that Debtor execute and deliver
this Agreement to the Agent for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders; and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Loan
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Debtor has agreed to execute and

and

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed in connection with and in addition to
the Security Agreement dated as of June 29, 2006 and executed by Debtor in favor of

to secure the payment of (i) any and all of the present and future Borrowers’

Transaction Document, and (iv) any and all costs of collection, legal expenses and
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent or any of

- 381 -

 

the Lenders upon the

preserving, protecting or realizing on the Collateral hereunder or in representing
Agent
and/or any of the Lenders in connection with bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Secured Obligations”).

     5. The first two lines of Section 2 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to
read as follows:

     2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby
represents and warrants to Agent and each of the Lenders, and covenants and agrees
with Agent and each of the Lenders, that:

     6. Clause (c) of the first sentence in Section 4 of the Security Agreement shall be amended
and restated to read as follows:

(c) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders has any further commitment or obligation to
make any loans or advances or other extensions of credit to Borrowers under the Loan
Agreement or otherwise,

     7. Section 8 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     8. Default. If any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall
have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights
and remedies given it by this Agreement, those allowed by law and the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any
jurisdiction in which any of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses may be located
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may immediately,
without demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth next
below) or demand whatsoever to Debtor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and
without advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon, all
or from time to time any of the Patents, Trademarks (together with the goodwill of
Debtor associated therewith) and/or Licenses, or any interest which Debtor may have
therein, and after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the
Patents, Trademarks or Licenses all expenses (including, without limitation, all
expenses for brokers’ fees and legal services), shall apply the residue of such
proceeds toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order and manner as
the Required Lenders may elect. Notice of any sale or other disposition of any of
the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses shall be given to Debtor at least five (5)
Domestic Business Days before the time of any intended public or private sale or
other disposition of such Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses is to be made, which
Debtor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition.
At any such sale or other disposition, Agent, Lenders or any other holders of any of
the Secured Obligations may, to the extent permissible under applicable law,
purchase the whole or any part of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses sold, free
from any right of redemption on the part of Debtor, which right is hereby waived and
released. Debtor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default, the use by Agent or any of the Lenders of the Patents, Trademarks and
Licenses shall be worldwide, and without any liability for royalties or other
related charges from Agent or any such Lender to Debtor. If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be
obligated, to bring suit in its own name (for the benefit of itself and the

- 382 -

 

Lenders)
to enforce any and all of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, and, if Agent shall
commence any such suit, Debtor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful
acts and execute any and all proper documents required by Agent in aid of such
enforcement and the Debtor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and each of the
Lenders in the exercise of their respective rights under this Agreement. All of
Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses,
whether established hereby, by the Security Agreement or by any other agreement or
by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

     8. Clause (c) of the first sentence in Section 9 of the Security Agreement shall be amended
and restated to read as follows:

(c) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any further commitment or
obligation to make any loans or advances or other extensions of credit to Borrowers
under the Loan Agreement or otherwise,

     9. Section 12 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     12. Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. If any Event of Default under
the Loan Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor hereby authorizes
and empowers Agent to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Agent as
Agent may select, in its sole discretion, as Debtor’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse Debtor’s name on all applications,
documents, papers and instruments necessary for Agent or any of the Lenders to use
the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, or to grant or issue any exclusive or
non-exclusive license under the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else, or
necessary for Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title to or
dispose of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else. Debtor hereby
ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
for the duration of this Agreement.

     10. Section 13 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     13. No Waiver. No course of dealing between Debtor, Agent and/or any
of the Lenders, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of Agent or any of the Lenders, any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

     11. In addition to securing the other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Debtor and
the other Borrowers to Lenders and Agent therein described, the Security Agreement shall henceforth
also secure the payment of any and all present and future indebtedness (principal, interest, fees,
collection costs and expenses and other amounts) of Debtor and the other Borrowers to Lenders and
Agent evidenced by or arising under the Amended Notes and the Amended Loan Agreement, or any
amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals or replacements thereof, and the performance and
observance by Debtor of every covenant and condition therein contained.

- 383 -

 

     12. The Amended Notes, the Amended Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement are and shall
remain the binding obligations of Debtor and each of the other Borrowers, and all of the
provisions, terms, stipulations, conditions, covenants and powers contained therein shall stand and
remain in full force and effect, except only as the same are herein and hereby specifically varied
or amended, and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed.

     13. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that:

          (a) The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Amendment are within the
corporate powers of Debtor, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and require
no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental or regulatory body, agency or
official. The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Amendment do not conflict
with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under or result in any violation of, and Debtor is not now in default under or in violation of, the
terms of the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Debtor, any applicable law, any
rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory agency
or instrumentality, or any agreement or instrument to which Debtor is a party or by which it is
bound or to which it is subject;

          (b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Debtor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

          (c) As of the date hereof, all of the covenants, representations and warranties of Debtor set
forth in the Security Agreement are true and correct and no “Event of Default” (as defined therein)
under or within the meaning of the Security Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

     14. All references in the Security Agreement to “this Security Agreement” and any other
references of similar import shall henceforth mean the Security Agreement as amended by this
Amendment.

     15. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns, except that Debtor may not assign, transfer or delegate
any of its rights or obligations hereunder.

     16. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Missouri, except to the extent pre-empted by federal law and excluding Missouri’s laws
relating to conflicts of laws.

     17. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this Amendment and the Security
Agreement, the terms, provisions and conditions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

Missouri state banking corporation, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a New York state banking
corporation, and any other entity which now or at any time hereafter shall execute the Amended Loan
Agreement (as herein defined) as a “Lender” (collectively, the “Lenders”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Debtor heretofore executed and delivered to First Bank, a certain Patent, Trademark
and License Security Agreement dated September 3, 2003 (as amended, the “Security Agreement”)
encumbering Debtor’s Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, and other Collateral (each as defined and more
fully described in such Security Agreement), which Security Agreement was recorded on October 13,
2003, in the Assignment Division of the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office at Reel/Frame
002732/0812, to secure the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) evidenced by,
inter alia, the Loan Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, Debtor has requested an amendment and restatement of the Loan Agreement (and of the
Notes described in the Loan Agreement) to make certain amendments thereto as more fully described
in that certain amended and restated Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith executed by and
among Debtor, Debtor’s affiliates, Virbac Corporation, a Delaware corporation, PM Resources, Inc.,
a Missouri corporation, St. JON Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, Francodex

may from time to time be further amended, modified, extended, renewed or replaced, the “Amended
Loan Agreement”), and in those certain Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Line Note, as defined in
the Amended Loan Agreement (collectively, as the same may from time to time be further amended,
modified, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the “Amended Notes”); and

     WHEREAS, as one of the preconditions to the execution of the Amended Loan Agreement and
acceptance of the Amended Notes, Debtor has agreed to amend the Security Agreement as set forth
herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and for other valuable considerations,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Debtor and Agent do hereby agree as
follows:

     1. All references in the Security Agreement to the “Lender” are hereby amended and deemed to
refer to the Agent, in its capacity as Agent for each of the Lenders (as defined herein above),
except to the extent any such references are otherwise specifically amended herein below.

     2. All references in the Security Agreement to the “Loan Agreement” and other references of
similar import are hereby amended and deemed to refer to the Amended Loan Agreement as described
hereinabove, and any amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, restatements or replacements
thereof. Capitalized terms used in the Security Agreement and not otherwise defined therein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Loan Agreement. All references in the
Security Agreement to the “Note” and other references of similar import are hereby amended and
deemed to refer

- 395 -

 

to the Amended Notes as described hereinabove, and any amendments, modifications,
extensions,
renewals, restatements or replacements thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Amended Loan Agreement, any of the Amended Notes or the Security Agreement, as hereby amended,

remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Amended Notes and the Security Agreement, as hereby
amended.

     3. The five recital paragraphs each beginning with the word “WHEREAS” on the first page of the
Security Agreement shall be amended and restated by the following four paragraphs to read as

(collectively, the “Lenders”) and First Bank, as agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity, the “Agent”) have entered into that certain Loan Agreement dated as of
June 29, 2006, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or restated
(as so amended, modified or restated, the “Loan Agreement,” all capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to
them in the Loan Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to Agent and the Lenders entering into the
Loan Agreement, Agent and the Lenders have required that Debtor execute and deliver
this Agreement to the Agent for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders; and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Loan
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Debtor has agreed to execute and
deliver this Agreement to the Agent for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders;
and

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed in connection with and in addition to
the Security Agreement dated as of June 29, 2006 and executed by Debtor in favor of
the Agent for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders pursuant to which Debtor

to secure the payment of (i) any and all of the present and future Borrowers’

under or in respect of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and/or any other
Transaction Document, and (iv) any and all costs of collection, legal expenses and
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent or any of

- 397 -

 

the Lenders upon the

preserving, protecting or realizing on the Collateral hereunder or in representing
Agent
and/or any of the Lenders in connection with bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Secured Obligations”).

     5. The first two lines of Section 2 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to
read as follows:

     2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby
represents and warrants to Agent and each of the Lenders, and covenants and agrees
with Agent and each of the Lenders, that:

     6. Clause (c) of the first sentence in Section 4 of the Security Agreement shall be amended
and restated to read as follows:

     (c) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders has any further commitment or obligation to
make any loans or advances or other extensions of credit to Borrowers under the Loan
Agreement or otherwise,

     7. Section 8 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     8. Default. If any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall
have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights
and remedies given it by this Agreement, those allowed by law and the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any
jurisdiction in which any of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses may be located
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may immediately,
without demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth next
below) or demand whatsoever to Debtor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and
without advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon, all
or from time to time any of the Patents, Trademarks (together with the goodwill of
Debtor associated therewith) and/or Licenses, or any interest which Debtor may have
therein, and after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the
Patents, Trademarks or Licenses all expenses (including, without limitation, all
expenses for brokers’ fees and legal services), shall apply the residue of such
proceeds toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the order and manner as
the Required Lenders may elect. Notice of any sale or other disposition of any of
the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses shall be given to Debtor at least five (5)
Domestic Business Days before the time of any intended public or private sale or
other disposition of such Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses is to be made, which
Debtor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition.
At any such sale or other disposition, Agent, Lenders or any other holders of any of
the Secured Obligations may, to the extent permissible under applicable law,
purchase the whole or any part of the Patents, Trademarks and/or Licenses sold, free
from any right of redemption on the part of Debtor, which right is hereby waived and
released. Debtor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default, the use by Agent or any of the Lenders of the Patents, Trademarks and
Licenses shall be worldwide, and without any liability for royalties or other
related charges from Agent or any such Lender to Debtor. If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be
obligated, to bring suit in its own name (for the benefit of itself and the

- 398 -

 

Lenders)
to enforce any and all of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, and, if Agent shall
commence any such suit, Debtor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful
acts and execute any and all proper documents required by Agent in aid of such
enforcement and the Debtor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and each of the
Lenders in the exercise of their respective rights under this Agreement. All of
Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses,
whether established hereby, by the Security Agreement or by any other agreement or
by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

     8. Clause (c) of the first sentence in Section 9 of the Security Agreement shall be amended
and restated to read as follows:

(c) neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any further commitment or
obligation to make any loans or advances or other extensions of credit to Borrowers
under the Loan Agreement or otherwise,

     9. Section 12 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     12. Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. If any Event of Default under
the Loan Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor hereby authorizes
and empowers Agent to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Agent as
Agent may select, in its sole discretion, as Debtor’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse Debtor’s name on all applications,
documents, papers and instruments necessary for Agent or any of the Lenders to use
the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, or to grant or issue any exclusive or
non-exclusive license under the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else, or
necessary for Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title to or
dispose of the Patents, Trademarks and Licenses to anyone else. Debtor hereby
ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
for the duration of this Agreement.

     10. Section 13 of the Security Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

     13. No Waiver. No course of dealing between Debtor, Agent and/or any
of the Lenders, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of Agent or any of the Lenders, any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

     11. In addition to securing the other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Debtor and
the other Borrowers to Lenders and Agent therein described, the Security Agreement shall henceforth
also secure the payment of any and all present and future indebtedness (principal, interest, fees,
collection costs and expenses and other amounts) of Debtor and the other Borrowers to Lenders and
Agent evidenced by or arising under the Amended Notes and the Amended Loan Agreement, or any
amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals or replacements thereof, and the performance and
observance by Debtor of every covenant and condition therein contained.

- 399 -

 

     12. The Amended Notes, the Amended Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement are and shall
remain the binding obligations of Debtor and each of the other Borrowers, and all of the
provisions, terms, stipulations, conditions, covenants and powers contained therein shall stand and
remain in full force and effect, except only as the same are herein and hereby specifically varied
or amended, and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed.

     13. Debtor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that:

          (a) The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Amendment are within the
corporate powers of Debtor, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and require
no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental or regulatory body, agency or
official. The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Amendment do not conflict
with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under or result in any violation of, and Debtor is not now in default under or in violation of, the
terms of the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Debtor, any applicable law, any
rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory agency
or instrumentality, or any agreement or instrument to which Debtor is a party or by which it is
bound or to which it is subject;

          (b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Debtor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

          (c) As of the date hereof, all of the covenants, representations and warranties of Debtor set
forth in the Security Agreement are true and correct and no “Event of Default” (as defined therein)
under or within the meaning of the Security Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

     14. All references in the Security Agreement to “this Security Agreement” and any other
references of similar import shall henceforth mean the Security Agreement as amended by this
Amendment.

     15. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns, except that Debtor may not assign, transfer or delegate
any of its rights or obligations hereunder.

     16. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Missouri, except to the extent pre-empted by federal law and excluding Missouri’s laws
relating to conflicts of laws.

     17. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this Amendment and the Security
Agreement, the terms, provisions and conditions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

Indebtedness). Any payments or other amounts received by the Subordinating Creditor which are
required to be turned over or otherwise remitted by the

interests of Agent or any of the Lenders in or on any or all of the property and/or assets of any
of the Borrowers, whether now existing and/or hereafter arising.

or all of the property or assets of any of the Borrowers which secure the payment of any or all of
the Senior Indebtedness (collectively, the “Senior Collateral”) by Agent or any of the Lenders
(whether pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise) shall be free and clear of any and
all security interests, liens, claims and/or rights of the Subordinating Creditor in such Senior
Collateral. At the request of the Agent or any Lender, the Subordinating Creditor shall promptly
provide the Agent with any necessary or appropriate releases to permit the collection, sale or

to the extent the same is secured by such Senior Collateral.

     In the event of the occurrence of any casualty with respect to any of the Senior Collateral,
the Subordinating Creditor agrees that the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust,

provisions of this paragraph.

     7. The Subordinating Creditor hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees

lender executes a subordination agreement in favor of the Agent and the Lenders in the same form as
this Agreement or another subordination or intercreditor agreement with terms deemed satisfactory
to the Agent and each of the Lenders in their sole discretion. Provided the Borrowers and the
lender providing any such replacement financing of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have
complied with the requirements of the preceding sentence, Agent and the Lenders agree that the
proceeds of such refinancing may be used to repay the Subordinated Indebtedness notwithstanding any
of the other terms of this Agreement.

     8. The Subordinating Creditor hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written
consent of Agent and the Required Lenders, agree to any amendment or modification of, or supplement
to, any of the agreements, documents or instruments evidencing, securing, guaranteeing the payment
of or otherwise relating to any of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

     9. The Subordinating Creditor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of the

the Lenders to Borrowers or the taking or releasing of guaranties, collateral or other security for
the payment thereof, and hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or default
and all other notices to which the Subordinating Creditor might otherwise be entitled.

any of the Lenders to enforce any guaranty or any security interest or lien given by any person or
entity other than any Borrower to secure the payment of any or all of the Senior Indebtedness as a
condition precedent or concurrent to taking any action against or with respect to any of the
Borrowers and/or any of the Senior Collateral and/or (c) bring any action to contest the validity,
legality, enforceability, perfection, priority or avoidability of any of the Senior Indebtedness,
any agreements, documents or instruments evidencing, securing, guaranteeing the payment of and/or
otherwise relating to any of the Senior Indebtedness and/or any of the security interests and/or
liens of Agent or any of the Lenders in or on any of the Senior Collateral.

     12. The Subordinating Creditor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and each of the Lenders
that: (a) the Subordinating Creditor is a company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the Republic of France; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by
the Subordinating Creditor of this Agreement are within the powers of the Subordinating Creditor,

recording with, any governmental or regulatory body, instrumentality, authority, agency or official
or any other person or entity; (c) the execution, delivery and performance by the Subordinating
Creditor of this Agreement do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a default under or result in any violation of, the terms of the
Certificate or Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other charter or organizational documents of
the Subordinating Creditor, any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree
of any court or governmental or regulatory body, instrumentality authority, agency or official or
any agreement, document or instrument to which the Subordinating Creditor is a party or by which
the Subordinating Creditor or any of its property or assets is bound or to which the Subordinating
Creditor or any of its property or assets is subject; and (d) this Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Subordinating Creditor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Subordinating Creditor enforceable against the Subordinating Creditor in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).

     13. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any term, provision, condition or
covenant contained in this Agreement and any term, provision, condition or covenant contained in
any agreement, document or instrument evidencing, securing, guaranteeing the payment of or
otherwise relating to any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, the terms, provisions, conditions and
covenants contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

     14. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the filing of a
petition for relief by or against any of the Borrowers under the United States Bankruptcy Code and
shall apply with full force and effect with respect to all of the Senior Collateral acquired by any
of the Borrowers, and to all additional Senior Indebtedness incurred by any of the Borrowers,
subsequent to the date of said petition.

     15. Agent and each of the Lenders may at any time and from time to time (a) enter into such
agreements with Borrowers, or any of them, as Agent or any such Lender may deem proper (i)
increasing or decreasing the principal amount of, extending the time of payment of and/or renewing
or otherwise amending or altering the terms (including, without limitation, the payment terms
and/or the interest rates) of any or all of the Senior Indebtedness and/or (ii) amending,
modifying, extending, renewing, restating or otherwise altering the terms of the Senior Loan
Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents and/or any other present or future agreement,
document or instrument evidencing, securing, guaranteeing the payment of or otherwise relating to
any of the Senior Indebtedness, (b) exchange, sell, release, surrender or otherwise deal with any
or all of the Senior Collateral and/or (c) release or otherwise deal with any guarantor(s) of any
or all of the Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or consent of the Subordinating Creditor
and without in any way compromising or affecting this Agreement.

     16. All of the Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance
upon this Agreement. The Subordinating Creditor hereby expressly waives notice of the acceptance by
Agent or any of the Lenders of the provisions of this Agreement and all other notices not
specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Subordinating Creditor hereby
agrees that neither Agent nor any of the Lenders has made any representation or warranty with
respect to (a) the due execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of the Senior
Loan Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents and/or any other present or future
agreement, document or instrument evidencing, securing, guaranteeing the payment of or otherwise
relating to any of the Senior Indebtedness, (b) the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of
any security interests or liens purporting to secure any or all of the Senior Indebtedness or (c)
the collectibility of any of the Senior Indebtedness. Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to
manage and supervise their credit facilities with Borrowers in accordance with applicable law and
its usual business practices, modified from time to time

- 433 -

 

as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, without regard to the existence of any rights that
the Subordinating Creditor may have now or hereafter in or to any of the property or assets of any
of the Borrowers.

     17. The Subordinating Creditor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of
the financial condition of each of the Borrowers and any guarantors of the Subordinated
Indebtedness and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Subordinated
Indebtedness that diligent inquiry would reveal and the Subordinating Creditor hereby agrees that
neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any duty to advise the Subordinating Creditor of
any information regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

     18. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until (a) all of the Senior
Indebtedness has been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash, (b) all financing arrangements
and commitments between Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other
hand, relating to the creation and/or incurrence of any of the Senior Indebtedness have been
terminated, (c) no letters of credit issued by Agent for the account of and/or upon the application
of any of the Borrowers remain outstanding and (d) the Senior Loan Agreement has expired or been
terminated in accordance with its terms. This is a continuing agreement of subordination, and Agent
and the Lenders may continue to extend credit or other financial accommodations and loan monies to
or for the benefit of Borrowers, or any of them, on the faith hereof, without notice to or the
consent of the Subordinating Creditor. To the extent that any Borrower, any guarantor of or
provider of collateral for any of the Senior Indebtedness or any other person or entity makes any
payment on or in respect of any of the Senior Indebtedness that is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other person or entity under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act,
state or federal law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise (such payment being hereinafter
referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the
Senior Indebtedness that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and
continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had never been made. In the event that
a Voided Payment is recovered from the Agent and/or any of the Lenders, an Event of Default under
the Senior Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the initial receipt of
such Voided Payment by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and to have continued until the
full amount of such Voided Payment is restored to the Agent and/or such Lender, as applicable.
During any continuance of any such Event of Default, this Agreement shall be in full force and
effect with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness. To the extent that the Subordinating
Creditor has received any payments on or with respect to any the Subordinated Indebtedness
subsequent to the date of the initial receipt of such Voided Payment by Agent and/or any of the
Lenders and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or
set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise, the Subordinating
Creditor hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been
received in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Subordinating Creditor hereby
agrees to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, upon demand, the full amount so
received by the Subordinating Creditor during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to
restore to Agent and the Lenders the amount of such Voided Payment.

     19. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver of or to any
provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Subordinating
Creditor, the Agent and the Required Lenders. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and
any consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

- 434 -

 

     20. No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders in the exercise of any
power, right, remedy or privilege under this Agreement shall impair such power, right, remedy or
privilege or shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other power,
right, remedy or privilege. The waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege with respect
to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed to be a waiver with respect to other
facts and circumstances.

     21. Any notice, request, demand, consent, confirmation or other communication under this
Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or sent by telecopy, recognized overnight
courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, if to the
Subordinating Creditor, to its address or telecopy number set forth on the signature page(s) of

Business Day after the day on which sent, if sent by recognized overnight courier or on the third
(3rd) Business Day after the day on which mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail.

     22. The Subordinating Creditor hereby agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute
and deliver such additional agreements, documents, instruments and consents as may be necessary or
as Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time reasonably request to effect the
subordinations contemplated by this Agreement.

     23. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Subordinating
Creditor, the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

     24. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     25. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws
of the State of Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles). THE SUBORDINATING
CREDITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE

BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND (E) WAIVES ALL RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH THE
SUBORDINATING CREDITOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BY REASON OF ITS PRESENT OR SUBSEQUENT DOMICILES.
THE SUBORDINATING CREDITOR (AND BY THE AGENT’S ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE AGENT AND EACH OF THE
LENDERS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION IN WHICH
THE SUBORDINATING CREDITOR, ON THE ONE HAND, AND

- 435 -

 

AGENT AND/OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE PARTIES RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

     26. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement is likely to cause irreparable damage to the other parties. Therefore, the
relief to which any party shall be entitled in the event of any such breach or threatened breach
shall include, but not be limited to, a mandatory injunction for specific performance, injunctive

     27. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including telecopy
counterparts) and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when

opportunity to cancel the policy in compliance with governmental requirements.

	D.	 	If the Company is required to accept an assigned risk which conflicts with one or more of the

forth in the Retention and Limit Article.

Article V — Special Acceptances

From time to time the Company may request a special acceptance of reinsurance falling outside
the scope of the provisions set forth in this Contract. If each Subscribing Reinsurer whose share
in the interests and liabilities of the Reinsurer is 20.0% or greater agrees to a special
acceptance, such special acceptance shall be binding on all Subscribing Reinsurers with respect to
their respective shares. If such agreement is not achieved, such special acceptance shall be made
to this Contract only with respect to the interests and liabilities of each Subscribing Reinsurer
who agrees to the special acceptance. In the event a reinsurer becomes a party to this Contract
subsequent to one or more special acceptances hereunder, the new reinsurer shall automatically
accept such special acceptance(s) as being covered hereunder.

Article VI — Retention and Limit

	A.	 	The Company shall retain and be liable for the first $1,000,000 of ultimate net loss
arising out of each occurrence. The Reinsurer shall then be liable (subject to the provisions
of paragraph B below) for the amount by which such ultimate net loss exceeds the Company’s
retention, but the liability of the Reinsurer shall not exceed $1,000,000 as respects any one
occurrence, nor shall it exceed an annual aggregate limit of 2.500% of net earned premium for
the contract year.

	B.	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph A above, no claim shall be made under this
Contract during any contract year unless and until cumulative subject excess losses paid from
losses arising out of occurrences commencing during the contract year (being losses which
would be recoverable from the Reinsurer under paragraph A above were it not for the

Page 7

 

	 	 	provisions of this paragraph) exceed an annual aggregate retention of 5.000% of net earned
premium. The Company shall retain and be liable for such annual aggregate retention in
addition to its initial loss retention stipulated in paragraph A above.

	C.	 	As respects any loss or losses arising out of terrorist activity, the liability of the
Reinsurer shall not exceed $1,000,000 each contract year. Terrorism losses that apply to the
annual aggregate deductible will also reduce the liability of the Reinsurer as respects the
aggregate terrorism limit.

	D.	 	The Company shall be permitted to carry quota share and excess reinsurance, recoveries under
which shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and be entirely disregarded in applying
all of the provisions of this Contract.

	E.	 	The Company shall purchase or be deemed to have purchased inuring excess facultative
reinsurance to limit its ultimate net loss under any one coverage, any one policy (exclusive
of loss in excess of policy limits or extra contractual obligations) to $2,000,000 each
occurrence as respects General Liability and Employers Liability business subject hereto.

	F.	 	The Company shall be permitted to carry excess of loss reinsurance applying to Workers’
Compensation risks in the State of Minnesota, recoveries under which shall inure to the
benefit of this Contract.
	 
	 	 	Such coverage shall be provided through the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Reinsurance
Association. It is understood that the liability of the Reinsurer for Minnesota Workers’
Compensation risks is not released.
	 
	 	 	In the event the Company accrues liability that is not provided by any inuring reinsurance, for
whatever reason, the Reinsurer agrees to reinsure such excess liability.

Article VII — Definitions

	A.	 	“Ultimate net loss” as used herein is defined as the sum or sums (including loss in excess
of policy limits, extra contractual obligations and any loss adjustment expense, as
hereinafter defined) paid or payable by the Company in settlement of claims and in
satisfaction of judgments rendered on account of such claims, after deduction of all salvage,
all recoveries and all claims on inuring insurance or reinsurance, whether collectible or not.
Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that losses under this Contract are not recoverable
until the Company’s ultimate net loss has been ascertained.

	B.	 	“Loss in excess of policy limits” and “extra contractual obligations” as used herein shall be
defined as follows:

	 	1.	 	“Loss in excess of policy limits” shall mean 90.0% of any amount paid or payable by
the Company in excess of its policy limits, but otherwise within the terms of its policy,
such loss in excess of the Company’s policy limits having been incurred because of, but
not limited to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of
the Company’s alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of
settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of an action against its
insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon
such an action.

Page 8

 

	 	2.	 	“Extra contractual obligations” shall mean 90.0% of any punitive, exemplary,
compensatory or consequential damages paid or payable by the Company, not covered by any
other provision of this Contract and which arise from the handling of any claim on
business subject to this Contract, such liabilities arising because of, but not limited
to, failure by the Company to settle within the policy limits or by reason of the
Company’s alleged or actual negligence, fraud or bad faith in rejecting an offer of
settlement or in the preparation of the defense or in the trial of any action against its
insured or reinsured or in the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon
such an action. An extra contractual obligation shall be deemed, in all circumstances,
to have occurred on the same date as the loss covered or alleged to be covered under the
policy.

	 	 	If any provision of this Article shall be rendered illegal or unenforceable by the laws,
regulations or public policy of any state, such provision shall be considered void in such
state, but this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Contract or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything stated herein, this Contract shall not apply to any loss in excess of
policy limits or any extra contractual obligation incurred by the Company as a result of any
fraudulent and/or criminal act by any officer or director of the Company acting individually or
collectively or in collusion with any individual or corporation or any other organization or
party involved in the presentation, defense or settlement of any claim covered hereunder.

	C.	 	“Occurrence” as used herein is defined as an accident or occurrence or a series of accidents
or occurrences arising out of or caused by one event, except that:

	 	1.	 	As respects General Liability policies where the Company’s limit of liability for
Products and Completed Operations coverages is determined on the basis of the insured’s
aggregate losses during a policy period, all such losses proceeding from or traceable to
the same causative agency shall, at the Company’s option, be deemed to have been caused
by one occurrence commencing at the beginning of the policy period, it being understood
and agreed that each renewal or annual anniversary date of the policy involved shall be
deemed the beginning of a new policy period;
	 
	 	2.	 	Each occupational or industrial disease case or cumulative trauma case contracted
by an employee of an insured shall be deemed to have been caused by a separate
occurrence, commencing on:

	 	a.	 	The date of disability for which compensation is payable if the case is
compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law;
	 
	 	b.	 	The date disability due to the disease actually began if the case is not
compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law;
	 
	 	c.	 	The date of cessation of employment if claim is made after employment has
ceased.

	 	3.	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 2 above, as respects losses
resulting from occupational or industrial disease or cumulative trauma suffered by
employees of

Page 9

 

	 	 	 	an insured for which the employer is liable, as a result of a sudden and accidental event
not exceeding 72 hours in duration, all such losses shall be considered one occurrence
and may be combined with losses classified as other than occupational or industrial
disease or cumulative trauma which arise out of the same event and the combination of
such losses shall be considered as one occurrence within the meaning hereof.

	D.	 	“Occupational or industrial disease” is any abnormal condition that fulfills all of the
following conditions:

	 	1.	 	It is not traceable to a definite compensable accident occurring during the
employee’s past or present employment.
	 
	 	2.	 	It has been caused by exposure to a disease producing agent or agents present in
the workers’ occupational environment.
	 
	 	3.	 	It has resulted in disability or death.

	E.	 	“Cumulative trauma” is an injury that fulfills all of the following conditions:

	 	1.	 	It is not traceable to a definite compensable accident occurring during the
employee’s past or present employment.
	 
	 	2.	 	It has occurred from and has been aggravated by a repetitive employment related
activity.
	 
	 	3.	 	It has resulted in disability or death.

	F.	 	“Loss adjustment expense” as used herein shall mean expenses allocable to the investigation,
defense and/or settlement of specific claims, including litigation expenses, interest on
judgments, declaratory judgment expenses or other legal expenses and costs incurred in
connection with coverage questions and legal actions connected thereto, and salaries and
expenses of salaried adjusters associated with claims covered under policies of the Company
reinsured hereunder but not including office expenses or salaries of the Company’s regular
employees.

	G.	 	“Contract year” as used in this Contract shall mean
the period from 12:01 a.m. Local Standard Time, January 1, 2006 to
12:01 a.m. Local Standard Time, January 1, 2007,  and each respective 12-month period thereafter that
this Contract continues in force. However, if this Contract is terminated, the final contract
year shall be from the beginning of the then current contract year through the date of
termination if this Contract is terminated on a “cutoff” basis, or the end of the runoff
period if this Contract is terminated on a “runoff” basis.

Article VIII — Annuities at Company’s Option

	A.	 	Whenever the Company is required, or elects, to purchase an annuity or to negotiate a
structured settlement, either in satisfaction of a judgment or in an out-of-court settlement
or otherwise, the cost of the annuity or the structured settlement, as the case may be, shall
be deemed part of the Company’s ultimate net loss.

Page 10

 

	B.	 	The terms “annuity” or “structured settlement” shall be understood to mean any insurance
policy, lump sum payment, agreement or device of whatever nature resulting in the payment of a
lump sum by the Company in settlement of any or all future liabilities which may attach to it
as a result of an occurrence.

	C.	 	In the event the Company purchases an annuity which inures in whole or in part to the benefit
of the Reinsurer, it is understood that the liability of the Reinsurer is not released
thereby. In the event the Company is required to provide benefits not provided by the annuity
for whatever reason, the Reinsurer shall pay its share of any loss.

Article IX — Claims

	A.	 	Whenever a claim is reserved by the Company for an amount greater than 50.0% of its
retention hereunder and/or whenever a claim appears likely to result in a claim under this
Contract, the Company shall notify the Reinsurer. Further, the Company shall notify the
Reinsurer whenever a claim involves a fatality, major limb amputation, spinal cord damage,
brain damage, blindness or extensive burns, regardless of liability, if the policy limits or
statutory benefits applicable to the claim are greater than the Company’s retention hereunder.
The Reinsurer shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any
claim or suit or proceeding involving this reinsurance.

	B.	 	All claim settlements made by the Company, provided they are within the terms of this
Contract (including but not limited to ex-gratia payments), shall be binding upon the
Reinsurer, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay all amounts for which it may be liable upon receipt
of satisfactory evidence of the amount paid by the Company.

Article X — Commutation

	A.	 	Upon mutual agreement, the Company may commute the contract year.

	B.	 	Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the calculation for the commutation shall be calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

	 	1.	 	The net reinsurance premium earned for the contract year; less
	 
	 	2.	 	The Reinsurer’s paid losses and loss adjustment expense on losses arising out of
occurrences commencing during the contract year; less
	 
	 	3.	 	The Reinsurer’s margin at 25.0% of the net reinsurance premium earned  for the contract
year; equals
	 
	 	4.	 	The Company’s net profit.

	C.	 	Payment to the Company of the Company’s net profit will result in a full and final
commutation of all known and unknown losses and shall constitute a complete and final release
of the Reinsurer and the Company in respect of any and all liabilities on business covered
under this Contract during the contract year commuted.

Page 11

 

	D.	 	Should the calculation be zero or negative, no payment shall be made and the Company shall
have the option to provide a full and final commutation of all known and unknown losses, which
shall constitute a complete and final release of the Reinsurer and the Company with respect to
any and all liabilities on business covered under this Contract during the contract year
commuted.

Article XI — Special Commutation

	A.	 	In the event a Subscribing Reinsurer meets the following conditions, the Company may
require a commutation of that portion of any excess loss hereunder represented by any
outstanding claim or claims, including any related loss adjustment expense.

	 	1.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer’s A.M. Best’s rating has been assigned or downgraded
below A- (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings) and/or Standard & Poor’s rating has been
assigned or downgraded below BBB+ (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings); or
	 
	 	2.	 	The Subscribing Reinsurer has ceased assuming new and renewal property and casualty
treaty reinsurance business.

	 	 	“Outstanding claim or claims” shall be defined as known or unknown claims, including any billed
yet unpaid claims. However, unless otherwise mutually agreed, this paragraph shall not apply
unless the outstanding claim or claims is for an amount not less than $5,000.

	B.	 	If the Company elects to require commutation as provided in paragraph A above, the Company
shall submit a Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of
the month immediately preceding the month in which the Company elects to require commutation,
as determined by the Company. Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements
considered reasonable to establish the excess loss and shall set forth or attach the
information relied upon by the Company and the methodology employed to calculate the excess
loss. The Subscribing Reinsurer shall then pay the amount requested within 30 calendar days
of receipt of such Statement of Valuation, unless the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional
information from the Company to assess the Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests such
amount.

	C.	 	If the Subscribing Reinsurer needs additional information from the Company to assess the
Company’s Statement of Valuation or contests the amount requested, the Subscribing Reinsurer
shall so notify the Company within 15 calendar days of receipt of the Company’s Statement of
Valuation. The Company shall supply any reasonably requested information to the Subscribing
Reinsurer within 15 calendar days of receipt of the notification. Within 30 calendar days of
the date of the notification or of the receipt of the information, whichever is later, the
Subscribing Reinsurer shall provide the Company with its Statement of Valuation of the
outstanding claim or claims as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in
which the Company elects to require commutation, as determined by the Subscribing Reinsurer.
Such Statement of Valuation shall include the elements considered reasonable to establish the
excess loss and shall set forth or attach the information relied upon by the Subscribing
Reinsurer and the methodology employed to calculate the excess loss.

Page 12

 

	D.	 	In the event the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation of the outstanding claim or
claims is viewed as unacceptable to the Company, the Company may either abandon the
commutation effort, or may seek to settle any difference by using an independent actuary
agreed to by the parties.

	E.	 	If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15 calendar days of
the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, then each party shall appoint
an actuary as party arbitrators for the limited and sole purpose of selecting an independent
actuary. If the actuaries cannot agree on an acceptable independent actuary within 15
calendar days of the date of the Subscribing Reinsurer’s Statement of Valuation, the Company
shall supply the Subscribing Reinsurer with a list of at least three proposed independent
actuaries, and the Subscribing Reinsurer shall select the independent actuary from that list.

	F.	 	Upon selection of the independent actuary, both parties shall present their respective
written submissions to the independent actuary. The independent actuary may, at his or her
discretion, request additional information. The independent actuary shall issue his or her
decision within 45 calendar days after the written submissions have been filed and any
additional information has been provided.

	G.	 	The decision of the independent actuary shall be final and binding. The expense of the
independent actuary shall be equally divided between the two parties. For the purposes of
this Article, unless mutually agreed otherwise, an “independent actuary” shall be an actuary
who satisfies each of the following criteria:

	 	1.	 	Is regularly engaged in the valuation of claims resulting from lines of business
subject to this Contract; and
	 
	 	2.	 	Is either a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society or of the American Academy of
Actuaries; and
	 
	 	3.	 	Is disinterested and impartial regarding this commutation.

	H.	 	Notwithstanding paragraph A, B and C above, in the event that the Subscribing Reinsurer no
longer meets the conditions set forth in subparagraph 1 or 2 in paragraph A above, this
commutation may continue on a mutually agreed basis.

	I.	 	Payment by the Subscribing Reinsurer of the amount requested in accordance with paragraph B,
C or F above, shall release the Subscribing Reinsurer from all further liability for
outstanding claim or claims, known or unknown, under this Contract, which shall release the
Company from all further liability for payments of salvage or subrogation amounts, known or
unknown, to the Subscribing Reinsurer under this Contract.

	J.	 	In the event of any conflict between this Article and any other Article of this Contract, the
terms of this Article shall control.

	K.	 	This Article shall survive the termination of this Contract.

Page 13

 

Article XII — Salvage and Subrogation

The Reinsurer shall be credited with salvage (i.e., reimbursement obtained or recovery made by
the Company, less the actual cost, excluding salaries of officials and employees of the Company and
sums paid to attorneys as retainer, of obtaining such reimbursement or making such recovery) or
subrogation on account of claims and settlements involving reinsurance hereunder. Salvage or
subrogation thereon shall always be used to reimburse the excess carriers in the reverse order of
their priority according to their participation before being used in any way to reimburse the
Company for its primary loss. The Company hereby agrees to enforce its rights to salvage or
subrogation where it is economically reasonable in the judgment of the Company, relating to any
loss, a part of which loss was sustained by the Reinsurer, and to prosecute all claims arising out
of such rights.

Article XIII — Reinsurance Premium

	A.	 	As premium for the reinsurance provided hereunder during each contract year, the Company
shall pay the Reinsurer 0.600% of its net earned premium.

	B.	 	Within 30 days after the end of each month, the Company shall report its net earned premium
for the month. The premium due the Reinsurer, at the rate shown in paragraph A, shall be paid
by the Company with its report. In the event this Contract is terminated in accordance with
paragraph C of the Commencement and Termination Article, no payments shall be due as respects
each Subscribing Reinsurer after the effective date of termination.

	C.	 	Within 60 days after the end of each contract year, the Company shall provide a report to the
Reinsurer setting forth the premium due hereunder for the contract year, computed in
accordance with paragraph A, and any additional premium due the Reinsurer or return premium
due the Company shall be remitted promptly.

	D.	 	“Net earned premium” as used herein is defined as the Company’s gross earned premium
collected on the classes of business subject to this Contract, less only the earned portion of
premiums, if any, ceded by the Company for reinsurance which inures to the benefit of this
Contract and less dividends incurred.

Article XIV — Late Payments

	A.	 	The provisions of this Article shall not be implemented unless specifically invoked, in
writing, by one of the parties to this Contract.

	B.	 	In the event any premium, loss or other payment due either party is not received by the
intermediary named in the Intermediary Article (BRMA 23A) (hereinafter referred to as the
“Intermediary”) by the payment due date, the party to whom payment is due, may, by notifying
the Intermediary in writing, require the debtor party to pay, and the debtor party agrees to
pay, an interest penalty on the amount past due calculated for each such payment on the last
business day of each month as follows:

	 	1.	 	The number of full days which have expired since the due date or the last monthly
calculation, whichever the lesser; times

Page 14

 

	 	2.	 	1/365ths of the sum of 400 basis points plus the six-month United States Treasury
Bill rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month for
which the calculation is made; times
	 
	 	3.	 	The amount past due, including accrued interest.

	 	 	It is agreed that interest shall accumulate until payment of the original amount due plus
interest penalties have been received by the Intermediary.

	C.	 	The establishment of the due date shall, for purposes of this Article, be determined as
follows:

	 	1.	 	As respects the payment of routine deposits and premiums due the Reinsurer, the due
date shall be as provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a
due date is not specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 30 days
after the date of transmittal by the Intermediary of the initial billing for each such
payment.
	 
	 	2.	 	Any claim or loss payment due the Company hereunder shall be deemed due 45 days
after the proof of loss or demand for payment is transmitted to the Reinsurer. If such
loss or claim payment is not received within the 45 days, interest will accrue on the
payment or amount overdue in accordance with paragraph B above, from the date the proof
of loss or demand for payment was transmitted to the Reinsurer.
	 
	 	3.	 	As respects any payment, adjustment or return due either party not otherwise
provided for in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of paragraph C above, the due date shall be as
provided for in the applicable section of this Contract. In the event a due date is not
specifically stated for a given payment, it shall be deemed due 10 days following
transmittal of written notification that the provisions of this Article have been
invoked.

	 	 	For purposes of interest calculations only, amounts due hereunder shall be deemed paid upon
receipt by the Intermediary.

	D.	 	Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting a Subscribing Reinsurer from
contesting the validity of any claim, or from participating in the defense of any claim or
suit, or prohibiting either party from contesting the validity of any payment or from
initiating any arbitration or other proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this
Contract. If the debtor party prevails in an arbitration or other proceeding, then any
interest penalties due hereunder on the amount in dispute shall be null and void. If the
debtor party loses in such proceeding, then the interest penalty on the amount determined to
be due hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth above unless
otherwise determined by such proceedings. If a debtor party advances payment of any amount it
is contesting, and proves to be correct in its contestation, either in whole or in part, the
other party shall reimburse the debtor party for any such excess payment made plus interest on
the excess amount calculated in accordance with this Article.

	E.	 	Interest penalties arising out of the application of this Article that are $100 or less from
any party shall be waived unless there is a pattern of late payments consisting of three or
more items over the course of any 12-month period.

Reinsurer in favor of any third party or any persons not parties to this Contract.

Article XVIII — Net Retained Lines (BRMA 32E)

	A.	 	This Contract applies only to that portion of any policy which the Company retains net for
its own account (prior to deduction of any underlying reinsurance specifically permitted in
this Contract), and in calculating the amount of any loss hereunder and also in computing the
amount or amounts in excess of which this Contract attaches, only loss or losses in respect of
that portion of any policy which the Company retains net for its own account shall be
included.

	B.	 	The amount of the Reinsurer’s liability hereunder in respect of any loss or losses shall not
be increased by reason of the inability of the Company to collect from any other reinsurer(s),
whether specific or general, any amounts which may have become due from such reinsurer(s),
whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other reinsurer(s) or otherwise.

Article XIX — Errors and Omissions (BRMA 14F)

Inadvertent delays, errors or omissions made in connection with this Contract or any
transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability which would have attached

Page 16

 

Article XX — Currency (BRMA 12A)

	A.	 	Whenever the word “Dollars” or the “$” sign appears in this Contract, they shall be

	A.	 	The Reinsurer has agreed to allow for the purpose of paying the Federal Excise Tax the
applicable percentage of the premium payable hereon (as imposed under Section 4371 of the
Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such premium is subject to the Federal Excise Tax.

	B.	 	In the event of any return of premium becoming due hereunder the Reinsurer will deduct the
applicable percentage from the return premium payable hereon and the Company or its agent
should take steps to recover the tax from the United States Government.

Article XXIII — Reserves and Letters of Credit

[Applies only to a reinsurer which does not qualify for full credit with any insurance
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves, which is or becomes rated
“B++” or lower by A.M. Best (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings) and/or Standard & Poor’s rating is
or becomes “BBB+” or lower (inclusive of “Not Rated” ratings).]

	A.	 	As regards policies or bonds issued by the Company coming within the scope of this Contract,
the Company agrees that when it shall file with the insurance regulatory authority or set up
on its books reserves for losses covered hereunder which it shall be required by law to set
up, it will forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves which
is applicable to the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer hereby agrees to fund such reserves in respect
of known outstanding losses that have been reported to the Reinsurer and allocated loss
adjustment expense relating thereto, losses and allocated loss adjustment expense paid by the
Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer, plus reserves for losses incurred but not
reported, as shown in the statement prepared by the Company (hereinafter referred to as
“Reinsurer’s Obligations”) by funds withheld, cash advances or a Letter of Credit. The
Reinsurer shall have the option of determining the method of funding provided it is acceptable
to the insurance regulatory authorities having

Page 17

 

	 	 	jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves with regards to unauthorized reinsurers; or, should
the Reinsurer be downgraded, the method of funding shall be mutually agreed.

	B.	 	When funding by a Letter of Credit, the Reinsurer agrees to apply for and secure timely
delivery to the Company of a clean, irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by a
bank meeting the NAIC Securities Valuation Office credit standards for issuers of Letters of
Credit and containing provisions acceptable to the insurance regulatory authorities having
jurisdiction over the Company’s reserves in an amount equal to the Reinsurer’s proportion of
said reserves. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued for a period of not less than one year,
and shall contain an “evergreen” clause, which automatically extends the term for one year
from its date of expiration or any future expiration date unless 30 days (60 days where
required by insurance regulatory authorities) prior to any expiration date the issuing bank
shall notify the Company by certified or registered mail that the issuing bank elects not to
consider the Letter of Credit extended for any additional period.

	C.	 	The Reinsurer and Company agree that the Letters of Credit provided by the Reinsurer pursuant
to the provisions of this Contract may be drawn upon at any time, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Contract, and be utilized by the Company or any successor, by operation of
law, of the Company including, without limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver or
conservator of the Company for the following purposes, unless otherwise provided for in a
separate Trust Agreement:

	 	1.	 	To reimburse the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations, the payment of which is
due under the terms of this Contract and which has not been otherwise paid;
	 
	 	2.	 	To make refund of any sum which is in excess of the actual amount required to pay
the Reinsurer’s Obligations under this Contract, if so requested by the Reinsurer;
	 
	 	3.	 	To fund an account with the Company for the Reinsurer’s Obligations. Such cash
deposit shall be held in an interest bearing account separate from the Company’s other
assets, and interest thereon not in excess of the prime rate shall accrue to the benefit
of the Reinsurer;
	 
	 	4.	 	To pay the Reinsurer’s share of any other amounts the Company claims are due under
this Contract.

	 	 	In the event the amount drawn by the Company on any Letter of Credit is in excess of the actual
amount required for subparagraphs 1 or 3, or in the case of subparagraph 4, the actual amount
determined to be due, the Company shall promptly return to the Reinsurer the excess amount so
drawn. All of the foregoing shall be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the
part of the Company or the Reinsurer.

	D.	 	The issuing bank shall have no responsibility whatsoever in connection with the propriety of
withdrawals made by the Company or the disposition of funds withdrawn, except to ensure that
withdrawals are made only upon the order of properly authorized representatives of the
Company.

	E.	 	At annual intervals, or more frequently as agreed but never more frequently than quarterly,
the Company shall prepare a specific statement of the Reinsurer’s Obligations, for the sole
purpose of amending the Letter of Credit, in the following manner:

Page 18

 

	 	1.	 	If the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations exceed the balance of
credit as of the statement date, the Reinsurer shall, within 30 days after receipt of
notice of such excess, secure delivery to the Company of an amendment to the Letter of
Credit increasing the amount of credit by the amount of such difference.
	 
	 	2.	 	If, however, the statement shows that the Reinsurer’s Obligations are less than the
balance of credit as of the statement date, the Company shall, within 30 days after
receipt of written request from the Reinsurer, release such excess credit by agreeing to
secure an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing the amount of credit available by
the amount of such excess credit.

Article XXIV — Insolvency

	A.	 	In the event of the insolvency of one or more of the reinsured companies, this reinsurance
shall be payable directly to the company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or
statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the company without diminution because of
the insolvency of the company or because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory
successor of the company has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed,
however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the company
shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the company
indicating the policy or bond reinsured which claim would involve a possible liability on the
part of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the conservation
or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim,
the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding
where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to
the company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus
incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the Court, against
the company as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata
share of the benefit which may accrue to the company solely as a result of the defense
undertaken by the Reinsurer.

	B.	 	Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect
to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the
terms of this Contract as though such expense had been incurred by the company.

	C.	 	It is further understood and agreed that, in the event of the insolvency of one or more of
the reinsured companies, the reinsurance under this Contract shall be payable directly by the
Reinsurer to the company or to its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor, except as
provided by Section 4118(a) of the New York Insurance Law or except (1) where this Contract
specifically provides another payee of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the
company or (2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has
assumed such policy obligations of the company as direct obligations of the Reinsurer to the
payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the company to such
payees.

Article XXV — Arbitration (BRMA 6J)

	A.	 	As a condition precedent to any right of action hereunder, in the event of any dispute or
difference of opinion hereafter arising with respect to this Contract, it is hereby mutually

Page 19

 

	 	 	agreed that such dispute or difference of opinion shall be submitted to arbitration. One
Arbiter shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and an Umpire shall be
chosen by the two Arbiters before they enter upon arbitration, all of whom shall be active or
retired disinterested executive officers of insurance or reinsurance companies or Lloyd’s
London Underwriters. In the event that either party should fail to choose an Arbiter within 30
days following a written request by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose
two Arbiters who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration. If the two
Arbiters fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within 30 days following their
appointment, each Arbiter shall nominate three candidates within 10 days thereafter, two of
whom the other shall decline, and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.

	B.	 	Each party shall present its case to the Arbiters within 30 days following the date of
appointment of the Umpire. The Arbiters shall consider this Contract as an honorable
engagement rather than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial
formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of law. The decision of the
Arbiters shall be final and binding on both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in
the Umpire and the decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties.
Judgment upon the final decision of the Arbiters may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

	C.	 	If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers shall
constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and communications shall be made
by the Company to each of the reinsurers constituting one party, provided, however, that
nothing herein shall impair the rights of such reinsurers to assert several, rather than
joint, defenses or claims, nor be construed as changing the liability of the reinsurers
participating under the terms of this Contract from several to joint.

	D.	 	Each party shall bear the expense of its own Arbiter, and shall jointly and equally bear with
the other the expense of the Umpire and of the arbitration. In the event that the two
Arbiters are chosen by one party, as above provided, the expense of the Arbiters, the Umpire
and the arbitration shall be equally divided between the two parties.

	E.	 	Any arbitration proceedings shall take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the
parties to this Contract, but notwithstanding the location of the arbitration, all proceedings
pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the state in which the Company has its
principal office.

Article XXVI — Service of Suit (BRMA 49C)

(Applicable if the Reinsurer is not domiciled in the United States of America, and/or is not
authorized in any State, Territory or District of the United States where authorization is required
by insurance regulatory authorities)

	A.	 	It is agreed that in the event the Reinsurer fails to pay any amount claimed to be due
hereunder, the Reinsurer, at the request of the Company, will submit to the jurisdiction of a
court of competent jurisdiction within the United States. Nothing in this Article constitutes
or should be understood to constitute a waiver of the Reinsurer’s rights to commence an action
in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action to a United
States District Court, or to seek a transfer of a case to another court as permitted by the
laws of the United States or of any state in the United States.

Page 20

 

	B.	 	Further, pursuant to any statute of any state, territory or district of the United States
which makes provision therefor, the Reinsurer hereby designates the party named in its
Interests and Liabilities Agreement, or if no party is named therein, the Superintendent,
Commissioner or Director of Insurance or other officer specified for that purpose in the
statute, or his successor or successors in office, as its true and lawful attorney upon whom
may be served any lawful process in any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf
of the Company or any beneficiary hereunder arising out of this Contract.

Article XXVII — Entire Agreement

This written Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect
to the business being reinsured hereunder, and there are no understandings between the parties
hereto other than as expressed in this Contract. Any change or modification to this Contract will
be made by amendment to this Contract and signed by the parties.

Article XXVIII — Governing Law (BRMA 71B)

This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Louisiana.

Article XXIX — Agency Agreement

If more than one reinsured company is named as a party to this Contract, the first named
company shall be deemed the agent of the other reinsured companies for purposes of sending or
receiving notices required by the terms and conditions of this Contract, and for purposes of
remitting or receiving any monies due any party.

Article XXX — Intermediary (BRMA 23A)

Benfield Inc. is hereby recognized as the Intermediary negotiating this Contract for all
business hereunder. All communications (including but not limited to notices, statements, premium,
return premium, commissions, taxes, losses, loss adjustment expense, salvages and loss settlements)
relating thereto shall be transmitted to the Company or the Reinsurer through Benfield Inc.
Payments by the Company to the Intermediary shall be deemed to constitute payment to the Reinsurer.
Payments by the Reinsurer to the Intermediary shall be deemed to

Louisiana, this 18th day of May in the year 2006.
