Unless otherwise defined or the context otherwise requires, terms for which meanings are provided in this Agreement shall have such meanings when used in the Disclosure Schedule and in each Note, Borrowing Request, Conversion Notice, notice and other communication delivered from time to time in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. SECTION 1.3. Cross-References. Unless otherwise specified, references in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document to any Article or Section are references to such Article or Section of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and, unless otherwise specified, references in any Article, Section or definition to any clause are references to such clause of such Article, Section or definition. SECTION 1.4. Accounting and Financial Determinations. Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein or in any other Loan Document shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Section 7.2.3) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared in accordance with, those generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 6.5. ARTICLE II COMMITMENT, BORROWING PROCEDURES AND NOTE SECTION 2.1. Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article V), the Lender severally agrees to make Loans pursuant to the Commitment described in this Section 2.1. SECTION 2.1.1. Commitment of the Lender. From time to time on any Business Day occurring prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Lender will make loans (of any type, the "Loans") to the Borrower equal to the aggregate amount of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower to be made on such day. The commitment of the Lender described in this Section 2.1.1 is herein referred to as the "Commitment". On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. SECTION 2.1.2. Lender Not Permitted or Required To Make Loans. The Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans of the Lender would exceed the Commitment Amount. SECTION 2.1.3. Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment shall terminate and the Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to make any Loan on the Commitment Termination Date. SECTION 2.2. Reduction of Commitment Amount. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily reduce the Commitment Amount; provided, however, that all such reductions shall require at least five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Lender and be permanent, and any partial reduction of the Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $5,000,000. SECTION 2.3. Borrowing Procedure. By delivering a Borrowing Request to the Lender on or before 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request, in the case of LIBOR Loans, on not less than three Business Days' notice, and, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, on the same Business Day, that a Borrowing be made in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, or in the unused amount of the Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be comprised of the type of Loans, and shall be made on the Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request. SECTION 2.4. Conversion Elections. By delivering a Conversion Notice to the Lender on or before 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, of any Loans be, in the case of Reference Rate Loans, converted into LIBOR Loans on three Business Day's prior notice or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, converted into a Reference Rate Loan on the same Business Day; provided, however, that (i) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be converted into, LIBOR Loans when any Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no conversion of less than all of any Loan shall be effective if the remaining balance of such Loan not so converted or continued is less than $5,000,000. SECTION 2.5. Funding. The Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by the Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by the Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBOR Loan shall nevertheless be to the Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, the Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that the Lender elected to fund all LIBOR Loans by purchasing, as the case may be, Dollar certificates of deposit in the U.S. or Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office's interbank eurodollar market. SECTION 2.6. Note. The Lender's Loans under its Commitment shall be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of the Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the Commitment Amount. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower. ARTICLE III REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES SECTION 3.1. Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each Loan upon the Commitment Termination Date therefor. Prior thereto, the Borrower (a) may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans; provided, however, that (i) any such prepayment shall be made pro rata among Loans of the same type and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period; (ii) no such prepayment of any LIBOR Loan may be made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; (iii) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one but no more than five Business Days' prior written notice to the Lender; and (iv) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000; (b) shall, on each date when any reduction in the Commitment Amount shall become effective, including pursuant to Section 2.2, make a mandatory prepayment of all Loans equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans over the Commitment Amount as so reduced; and (c) shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Commitment Termination Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, repay all Loans, unless, pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all Loans is so accelerated. Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4. No voluntary prepayment of principal of any Loans shall cause a reduction in the Commitment Amount. SECTION 3.2. Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.2. SECTION 3.2.1. Rates. Pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or Conversion Notice, the Borrower may elect that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum: (a) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Reference Rate Loan, equal to the Alternate Reference Rate from time to time in effect; and (b) on that portion maintained from time to time as a LIBOR Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (Reserve Adjusted) plus a margin of 0.5625%. SECTION 3.2.2. Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether on the Commitment Termination Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Alternate Reference Rate plus a margin of 2% and (ii) 2% in excess of the rate applicable to such amounts immediately before they became due. SECTION 3.2.3. Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication: (a) on the Commitment Termination Date therefor; (b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan; (c) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, on each Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the Effective Date; (d) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the last day of each applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed 90 days, on the 90th day of such Interest Period); (e) with respect to any Reference Rate Loans converted into LIBOR Loans on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to clause (c), on the date of such conversion; and (f) on that portion of any Loans the Commitment Termination Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration. Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Commitment Termination Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand. SECTION 3.3. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 3.3. All such fees shall be non- refundable. SECTION 3.3.1. Non-use Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender, for the period (including any portion thereof when its Commitment is suspended by reason of the Borrower's inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on and including the date hereof and continuing through the final Commitment Termination Date, a non-use fee at the rate of 1/8 of 1% per annum on the daily average of the unused amount of the Lender's Commitment. Such non-use fee shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first such day following the date hereof, and on the Commitment Termination Date. SECTION 3.3.2. Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a fee of $40,000 payable on the date hereof. ARTICLE IV CERTAIN LIBOR RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS SECTION 4.1. LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful. If the Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, be conclusive (absent manifest error) and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan of a certain type, the obligation of the Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert any such Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. SECTION 4.2. Deposits Unavailable. If the Lender shall have determined that (a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to the Lender in its relevant market; or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Loans of such type, then, upon notice from the Lender to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lender under Section 2.3 to make as, or under Section 2.4 to continue any Loans as or convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans of such type shall forthwith be suspended until the Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBOR Loan Costs, etc. If, as a result of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any court, central bank, governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, or comparable agency: (a) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, any Note or the Lender's obligation to make any LIBOR Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable, or the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of the principal of, or interest on, any LIBOR Loan (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction in which the Lender has its principal office) is changed; (b) any reserve, special deposit, special assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (c) any other condition affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan is imposed on the Lender or its relevant market; and the Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan is increased, or the amount of any sum receivable by the Lender hereunder or under any Note in respect of any LIBOR Loan is reduced; then, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduction (provided that the Lender has not been compensated for such additional cost or reduction in the calculation of the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage). Determinations by the Lender for purposes of this Section 4.3 of the additional amounts required to compensate the Lender in respect of the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging, attribution and allocation methods. SECTION 4.4. Funding Losses. In the event the Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan) as a result of (a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise; (b) any Loans not being made as LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or (c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Conversion Notice therefor, (excluding in any case any loss or expense resulting from the Lender's breach of its obligations hereunder) then, upon the written notice of the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to the Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of the Lender) reimburse the Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender, and the Lender determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loans made by the Lender is reduced to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable. SECTION 4.6. Taxes. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the Lender's net income or receipts (such non- excluded items being called "Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will (a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (b) promptly forward to the Lender an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and (c) pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Lender will equal the full amount the Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Lender with respect to any payment received by the Lender hereunder, the Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Lender to or for the account of the Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower. SECTION 4.7. Payments, Computations, etc. All payments by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the Note shall be made to the Lender, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Lender shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender on the next succeeding Business Day. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Loans) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. SECTION 4.8. Setoff. The Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.8 with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or, any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with the Lender. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have. SECTION 4.9. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the third recital; without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of any Loan will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any "margin stock", as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U. ARTICLE V CONDITIONS TO BORROWING SECTION 5.1. Initial Borrowing.

FOURTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION By:_______________________________ Name:__________________________ Title:_________________________ EXHIBIT D Form of Opinion of Counsel to Borrower July 1, 1994 Continental Bank 231 South LaSalle Street Chicago, Illinois 60697 Re: Fourth Financial Corporation ---------------------------- Ladies/Gentlemen: I am General Counsel to Fourth Financial Corporation, a Kansas corporation (the "Borrower") and I am delivering this opinion to you pursuant to Section 5.1.3 of the Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 1994 (the "Credit Agreement"), between the Borrower and Continental Bank (the "Lender"). Terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein. In connection with this opinion, I have examined executed copies of the Credit Agreement and the Note, executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and such corporate documents and records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and officers of the Borrower and other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. In stating this opinion, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing the Credit Agreement on behalf of parties thereto other than the Borrower, the authenticity of all documents submitted as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that: 1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas, and each Subsidiary of the Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged and is duly qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the failure to qualify would have a material adverse effect upon the condition, financial or otherwise of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrower is a bank holding company duly registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. 2. The Borrower has the corporate power to execute, deliver and carry out its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Note and to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The Borrower has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the borrowings under the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Agreement and the Note. No consent of any other party (including stockholders of the Borrower), and no consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any governmental body, authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Agreement and the Note. 3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Agreement and the Note, and the use of the proceeds of the borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation, or of any order, judgment, award or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or of the Certificate of Incorporation or By- Laws of the Borrower, or, to the best of my knowledge, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any mortgage, partnership agreement, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which the Borrower is a party or which purports to be binding upon the Borrower or any of its assets, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the assets of the Borrower. 4. To the best of my knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or revenues, at law or in equity or before any governmental body, which (i) would materially adversely affect the financial condition, operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the Borrower or such Subsidiary or (ii) relate to any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. 5. The Credit Agreement has been, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, the Note will be, duly executed and delivered by the Borrower. The Credit Agreement constitutes, and, when executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Note will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms. 6. The Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 7. To the best of my knowledge, the Borrower is not under investigation by, or operating under any restrictions (applicable specifically to the Borrower) imposed by, any regulatory authority. 8. To the best of my knowledge, the Borrower is in compliance with all material requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and with existing regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System relating to bank holding companies. The opinions expressed above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions: a. The legality, validity and enforceability of any rights and remedies provided in the Credit Agreement and the Note are subject to exceptions provided by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, assignment for the benefit of creditors' laws or similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the validity, legality and binding effect and enforceability of creditors' rights generally, including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers; and b. Specific performance, injunctive relief or other traditional equitable remedies may not be available as being subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. I am a member of the Bar of the State of Kansas, and express no opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Kansas and the federal laws of the United States of America. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, insofar as the opinions expressed herein relate to matters which are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, I have assumed, without independent investigation, that such laws are identical to the laws of the State of Kansas. This opinion is rendered to you and is solely for the benefit of you and your counsel in connection with the above transaction. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or furnished to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose without my prior written consent. Very truly yours, William Rainey, Esq.
