EXHIBIT 10.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
BETWEEN RADER AND FARI
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT is entered into effective
as of the 28th day of June, 1994 between Rader Railcar, Inc.
("Rader") and First American Railways, Inc. ("FARI").
RECITALS:
A. Rader and FARI entered into that certain agreement dated June 28,
1994 setting forth the terms and conditions under which Rader would construct a
single level domed railcar (the "Car") for FARI and sell such Car after
construction to FARI. The original agreement was supplemented by a letter
agreement dated June 29, 1994, and thereafter the parties entered an amended and
restated agreement effective June 28, 1994 (collectively, the "Composite
Agreement").
B. The parties now desire to restate their agreement with respect to
the Car in its entirety in order to more accurately reflect their respective
rights, duties and obligations as presently intended:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
A. Rader acknowledges the receipt from FARI of $350,000 under the
Composite Agreement as partial payment for the Car, and that this amount
represents a non-refundable deposit by FARI toward the purchase of the Car from
Rader.
B. FARI acknowledges that Rader experienced unforeseeable delays in
construction of the Car, but that the Car has been shipped to Florida and such
Car is currently in the possession of FARI.
C. The parties acknowledge that the total price of the Car is $830,000,
and that the remaining principal balance due is $480,000 which, along with
mutually-agreed interest of $20,000 (which is for the period commencing on the
date hereof to October 1, 1995), results in a total amount due of $500,000.
D. The parties acknowledge that title to the Car remains with Rader
until the entire unpaid balance of $500,000 is paid by FARI to Rader.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending legally to be bound
hereby agree as follows:
1. FARI will pay Rader the remaining $500,000 for the purchase of the
Car ($480,000 principal and $20,000 interest) on or before October 1, 1995, at
which time title to the Car will be conveyed to FARI, or redeliver the Car to
Rader (FOB: Denver, Colorado) free and clear of any and all liens.
2. Rader will not be obligated to repay any balances or deposits to
FARI. All deposits previously paid by FARI to Rader under the Composite
Agreement are the property of Rader.
3. FARI agrees to pay Rader the final payment of $500,000 on the
earlier of receipt of (i) funding from its proposed public offering, or (ii)
October 1, 1995. In the event FARI does not make this payment, FARI agrees to
redeliver and ship the Car to Rader on or before October 5, 1995.
4. For the period from delivery of the Car in Florida until (i) FARI
pays the remaining balance due to Rader as set forth in Section 3, above, or
(ii) FARI redelivery of the Car to Rader as described in Section 1, above, FARI
agrees to keep the Car insured against loss or damage due to fire and the risks
normally included in extended coverage, malicious mischief and vandalism, for
not less than $830,000, and FARI shall also carry public liability insurance,
both personal injury and property damage, covering the Car, with a combined
single limit of not less than Five Million dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence,
naming Rader and Thomas G. Rader as additional insureds on all such insurance
policies.
5. Until the full payment is made for the Car and title thereto is
conveyed to FARI, Rader shall be responsible for maintaining the Car in good
working order such that it is capable of being used for its intended purpose.
6. FARI is prohibited from transferring title to the car prior to full
payment transfer to Rader.
7. This Agreement replaces in its entirety the Composite Agreement.
