THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this "First Amendment"),
executed this 14th day of June, 2000, is by and between DYNAMIC MATERIALS

agreed to issue a letter of credit in favor of the Trustee (defined therein) in
an amount not to exceed $6,997,135.00 to secure payment of certain Fayette
County Industrial Development Authority Multi-Mode Variable Rate Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 (Dynamic Materials Corporation Project)
in the aggregate principal amount of $6,850,000 (the "Bonds").
B. In addition to the Agreement, the Borrower and the Bank entered into the
Credit Facility Agreements (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement), which
Credit Facility Agreements were amended by that certain Amended and Restated
Credit Facility and Security Agreement dated as of November 30, 1998 which, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Facility
and Security Agreement (the "First Amendment") dated December 31, 1998, provided
for loans up to Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) (the "Credit Facility
Loans"). The obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Agreement are
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the obligations of Borrower
pursuant to the Credit Facility Loans.
C. On or about January 20, 2000, the Borrower and SNPE, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("SNPE"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which SNPE will purchase (i) approximately
2,100,000 shares of the stock of the Company for approximately Five Million
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,800,000), resulting in SNPE having a fifty
and eight-tenths percent (50.8%) ownership interest in the Company and (ii) a
One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollar ($1,200,000) subordinated note
convertible into Company stock (collectively, the "Acquisition").
D. The Borrower has agreed to use the majority of the proceeds from the
Acquisition, together with such other loan proceeds in an amount not to exceed
$3,500,000 from SNPE to the Borrower (the "SNPE Intercompany Debt"), which
amount may be increased to not more than $4,500,000 upon the written request of
Borrower to SNPE and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit
Facility and Security Agreement evidencing the SNPE Intercompany Debt dated as
of the date hereof, to pay in full the Credit Facility Loans and in connection
therewith, the Bank has agreed to release and/or modify certain of the
collateral securing such Credit Facility Loans, provided that certain of the
covenants and conditions set forth in the Agreement are modified as set forth
herein.

of Colorado or elsewhere and Forms 4, 5, 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This appointment is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable and will not be affected by the dissolution
or bankruptcy of the Company nor by the lapse of time. If the Company fails to
perform any act required by this Agreement, the Bank may perform such act in the
name of and on behalf of the Company and at its expense which shall be
chargeable to Company as provided herein and in the Reimbursement Agreement. The
Company hereby consents and agrees that the issuers of or obligors of the
Investment Collateral or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any of
the Investment Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof as
conclusive evidence of the rights of the Bank to effect any transfer pursuant to
this Agreement and the authority granted to the Bank herein, notwithstanding any
other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by the
Company, or any other person, to any of such issuers, obligors, registrars,
transfer agents, or trustees.
11. IMPACT OF REGULATION
The Company acknowledges that compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and any relevant state
securities laws and other applicable
C-15
laws may impose limitations on the right of Bank to sell or otherwise dispose of
securities included in the Investment Collateral. For this reason, the Company
hereby authorizes the Bank to sell any securities included in the Investment
Collateral in such manner and to such persons as would, in the judgment of the
Bank, help to ensure that the transfer of such securities will be given prompt
and effective approval by any relevant regulatory authorities will not require
any of the securities to be registered or qualified under any applicable
securities laws. The Company understands that a sale under the foregoing
circumstances may yield a substantially lower price for such Investment
Collateral than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and
sold in the open market, and the Company agrees that the Bank shall not be held
responsible for selling any of the Investment Collateral at an inadequate price
even if the Bank accepts the first offer received or if only one possible
purchaser appears or bids at any such sale. If the Bank shall sell any
securities included in the Investment Collateral at such sale, the Bank shall
have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any qualified appraiser or
investment banker as to the commercially reasonable price obtainable on the sale
thereof but shall not be obligated to obtain such advice or opinion. The Company
hereby assigns to the Bank any registration rights or similar rights the Company
may have from time to time with respect to any of the Investment Collateral.
