Exhibit 4(a)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made as of this 30th day of November, 1993, by
and among INTER-REGIONAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), the financial institutions that
have executed this Amendment (the "Banks") and Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association, a national banking association,
as agent for the Banks (the "Agent").
The Borrower, the Banks and the Agent have entered into a Credit
Agreement dated as of June 23, 1993 (the "Credit Agreement"),
which Credit Agreement amended and restated the Credit Agreement
dated as of June 27, 1991, by and among the Borrower, the Banks
and the Agent, as amended from time to time. The Banks have
agreed, severally but not jointly, to make loans to the Borrower
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Loans made by the Banks under the Credit Agreement are evidenced
by promissory notes dated as of June 23, 1993 executed by the
Borrower in favor of each Bank (each, a "Note"). The Notes
mature on June 30, 1995.
At the Borrower's request, the Agent has agreed to issue
irrevocable standby letters of credit for the account of the
Borrower, and each of the Banks has agreed to participate in each
of such letters of credit, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement.
ACCORDINGLY, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Credit
Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless
otherwise defined herein.
2. The Recitals to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by
deleting the third paragraph thereof and by substituting the
following new paragraph in its place:
"At the Borrower's request, the Banks have agreed to
continue to make loans to the Borrower, the Agent has agreed to
issue certain irrevocable standby letters of credit for the
account of the Borrower, and the Agent has agreed to continue to
serve as Agent in the making of such loans and the issuance of
such letters of credit, on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement."
3. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the definition of "Loan Documents" as it appears on page
5 of the Credit Agreement and by substituting the following new
definition in its place:
"'Loan Documents' means this Agreement, the Notes and
the Standby Letter of Credit Applications."
4. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further
amended by adding to Section 1.01, in alphabetical order, the
following new definitions:
"'L/C Amount' means the sum of (i) the aggregate face
amount of any issued and outstanding Standby Letters of Credit
and (ii) the unpaid amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement.
'Obligation of Reimbursement' has the meaning
specified in Section 2.17 hereof.
'Special Account' means a cash collateral account
maintained by the Agent in connection with Standby Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by Section 2.17.
'Standby Letter of Credit' has the meaning specified
in Section 2.17 hereof.
'Standby Letter of Credit Application' has the meaning
specified in Section 2.17 hereof."
5. Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the first sentence thereof and by substituting the
following new sentence in its place:
"Each Bank agrees, severally but not jointly, on the
terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to
make the Bank's Percentage of the Advances requested by the
Borrower from time to time during the period from the date hereof
to and including the Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding that Bank's
respective Commitment less that Bank's Percentage of the L/C
Amount."
6. Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following new Section 2.08 is substituted in
its place:
"Section 2.08 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.
The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time upon five Domestic Business Days' prior notice to the Agent
permanently to terminate in whole or permanently to reduce in
part the Commitments, pro rata as to each Bank based on its
Percentage, without penalty or premium, provided that each
partial reduction shall be in the amount of $3,000,000 or an
integral multiple thereof, and provided further that no reduction
shall reduce the sum of the Commitments to an amount less than
(i) the aggregate amount of the Advances outstanding under the
Revolving Notes at the time plus (ii) the L/C Amount."
7. The following new Section 2.17 is hereby added to the Credit
Agreement immediately after Section 2.16 thereof:
"Section 2.17 Standby Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 2.17 and in Article III, the Agent shall issue one or
more irrevocable standby letters of credit for the account of the
Borrower (each a 'Standby Letter of Credit') from time to time
during the period from the date hereof to and including the
Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the sum of the Commitments of the Banks
less the sum of (i) all outstanding Advances hereunder and (ii)
the unpaid amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement.
(b) Each Bank hereby unconditionally and irrevocably accepts
for its account and risk an undivided participating interest in
the obligations of the Agent with respect to each Standby Letter
of Credit. Each Bank's participation in a Standby Letter of
Credit shall be that Bank's Percentage of the face amount of such
Standby Letter of Credit.
(c) No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date
later than the Commitment Termination Date in effect as of the
date of issuance.
(d) Whenever the Borrower desires to obtain issuance of a
Standby Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall request the same by
written notice to the Agent or telephonic request to the Agent
from any person purporting to be authorized to request issuance
of a Standby Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower, which
notice or request shall specify the date of the requested
issuance (which date shall be a Domestic Business Day). Prior to
the requested date of issuance, the Borrower shall provide the
Agent with an application for Standby Letter of Credit (each a
'Standby Letter of Credit Application') duly executed in the form
of Exhibit H hereto. The terms and conditions set forth in each
such Standby Letter of Credit Application shall supplement the
terms and conditions hereof, but in the event of inconsistency
between the terms of any such Standby Letter of Credit
Application and the terms hereof, the terms hereof shall control.
Any request for the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit under
this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to be a representation by the
Borrower that (i) the conditions set forth in this Section 2.17
have been met, and (ii) the statements set forth in Section 3.02
hereof are correct as of the time of the request.
(e) The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the
issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit and of the face amount of
such Standby Letter of Credit.
(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of
the Banks a Standby Letter of Credit fee (i) with respect to
Standby Letters of Credit issued with an expiration date less
than sixty (60) days after the date of issuance, equal to three
quarters of one percent (.75%) per annum of the face amount of
each such Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder and (ii) with
respect to Standby Letter of Credit issued with an expiration
date sixty (60) or more days after the date of issuance, equal to
one and one-eighth percent (1.125%) per annum of the face amount
of each such Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder. Such
Standby Letter of Credit fee shall be computed for the period
commencing on the date of issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit
and ending on the expiration date thereof, and shall be payable
quarterly in arrears or in full upon the earlier expiration of
such Standby Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower agrees
to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent, on written
demand by the Agent, the administrative fees charged by the Agent
in the ordinary course of business in connection with the
honoring of drafts under any Standby Letter of Credit, and all
other activity with respect to the Standby Letters of Credit at
the then-current rates published by the Agent generally.
(g) Draws under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed to
the Agent in accordance with the applicable Standby Letter of
Credit Application and as follows:
(i) Whenever a draft under a Standby Letter of Credit
is presented to the Agent for payment, the Borrower hereby agrees
to immediately reimburse the Agent for the amount paid by the
Agent under the Standby Letter of Credit, plus any and all
reasonable charges and expenses that the Agent may pay or incur
relative to such draw, plus interest on all such amounts, charges
and expenses as set forth below (all such amounts are hereinafter
referred to, collectively, as the "Obligation of Reimbursement").
(ii) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Agent on
demand interest on all amounts, charges and expenses payable by
the Borrower to the Agent under this Section 2.17, accrued from
the date any such draft, charge or expense is paid by the Agent
until payment in full by the Borrower at the Floating Rate.
(iii) If the Borrower fails to pay to the Agent
promptly the amount of its Obligation of Reimbursement in
accordance with the terms hereof and the Standby Letter of Credit
Application pursuant to which such Standby Letter of Credit was
issued, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed,
in its sole discretion, to make a Floating Rate Advance under
Section 2.01 hereof in an amount sufficient to discharge the
Obligation of Reimbursement, including all interest accrued
thereon but unpaid at the time of such Advance, and each Bank's
Percentage of such Advance shall be added to the outstanding
principal balance of such Bank's Revolving Note.
(iv) The obligations of the Borrower arising under
this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including (without
limitation) the following circumstances: (A) payment by or on
behalf of the Agent under any Standby Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with
the terms of such Standby Letter of Credit; (B) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Standby Letter of Credit or any
other agreement or instrument relating to any Standby Letter of
Credit (collectively the 'Related Documents'); (C) any amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
Related Documents; (D) the existence of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time,
against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Standby Letter
of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), or other
person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated herein or in the Related Documents or
any unrelated transactions; or (E) any statement or any other
document presented under any Standby Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
whatsoever; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a
claim against the Agent and the Banks, and the Agent and the
Banks shall be liable to the Borrower to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages
suffered by the Borrower which were caused by:
(i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
the Agent, the Banks, or any of them, in determining whether
documents presented under any Standby Letter of Credit comply
with the terms of such Standby Letter of Credit; or
(ii) the willful or grossly negligent failure of
the Agent, the Banks, or any of them, to pay under any Standby
Letter of Credit after the presentation to the Agent of a draft
and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of such Standby Letter of Credit.
(h) The Agent will endeavor to promptly notify each Bank
whenever a draft under a Standby Letter of Credit is presented to
the Agent for payment. If the Agent makes any payment pursuant
to the terms of any Standby Letter of Credit and is not
immediately reimbursed by the Borrower, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Bank of such payment and shall direct each Bank to
pay such Bank's Percentage of the unreimbursed amount. Upon
receipt of any such notification prior to 1:00 p.m. (Minneapolis
time) on a Domestic Business Day, the recipient Bank shall be
unconditionally and irrevocably obligated to pay its Percentage
of the unreimbursed amount to the Agent in immediately available
funds prior to the close of business on such date. Notices
received after 1:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Domestic Business Day. If
payment is not made by a Bank when due hereunder, interest on the
unpaid amount shall accrue from the date of the Agent's
notification through the date of payment at the Federal Funds
Rate. After making payment to the Agent under this subsection in
connection with a Standby Letter of Credit, a Bank shall be
entitled to participate to the extent of its Percentage in any
reimbursement obtained from the Borrower in respect of such
Standby Letter of Credit or in any amount added to the
outstanding principal balance of such Bank's Revolving Note
pursuant to Section 2.17(g) above.
(i) On the Commitment Termination Date or earlier termination
of the Commitments, the Borrower shall pay the Agent in
immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an
amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount available to be
drawn under all Standby Letters of Credit then outstanding,
assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing thereunder.
Amounts on deposit in the Special Account may be applied by the
Agent at any time or from time to time to the Borrower's
Obligation of Reimbursement or any other obligations of the
Borrower to the Banks arising under this Agreement, in the
Agent's sole discretion, and shall not be subject to withdrawal
by the Borrower so long as the Agent maintains a security
interest therein. The Agent agrees to transfer any balance in
the Special Account to the Borrower at such time as the Agent is
required to release its security interest in the Special Account
under applicable law.
(j) The Borrower hereby pledges, and grants to the Agent, as
agent for itself and for the other Banks, a security interest in,
all funds held in the Special Account from time to time and all
proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all present and
future Obligations of Reimbursement and all other amounts due and
to become due from the Borrower to any Bank pursuant to this
Agreement. The Agent shall have full ownership and control of the
Special Account, and the Borrower shall have no right to withdraw
the funds maintained in the Special Account.

INTER-REGIONAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NEWS RELEASE
JOHN C. APPEL NAMED DAIN BOSWORTH
PRESIDENT, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
MINNEAPOLIS, February 3, 1994 -- Inter-Regional Financial Group
(NYSE: IFG) today named John C. Appel president and chief
operating officer of its Minneapolis-based subsidiary, Dain
Bosworth Incorporated, a full-service regional brokerage and
investment banking firm which does business in 16 states and had
revenues of $301.8 million in 1993. Appel, 45, formerly served
as executive vice president and chief financial officer of both
IFG and Dain Bosworth Incorporated.
According to Irving Weiser, IFG's president and chief executive
officer, all Dain Bosworth business units now report to Appel,
including the heads of Dain Bosworth's retail sales, corporate
capital and fixed income groups. Appel will remain an executive
vice president of IFG, but the company expects to fill both CFO
positions at some point in the future. Weiser, who similarly
holds positions at both IFG and Dain Bosworth, will remain as
chairman and chief executive officer of Dain Bosworth.
"In almost eight years with our company, John Appel has had a
major impact on the success of IFG and Dain Bosworth, and he has
a deep understanding of every aspect of our business," Weiser
commented. "His financial disciplines were instrumental in IFG's
turnaround and he played a key role in our development of a more
'planful' approach to managing a cyclical business." Weiser
called Appel "an outstanding business leader and one of the
architects of our growth strategy."
Appel joined IFG in 1986 as senior vice president and CFO and was
promoted to executive vice president in 1990. That same year, he
also became executive vice president and CFO of Dain Bosworth.
Before joining IFG, Appel was a partner with the accounting firm
of Deloitte Haskins & Sells (now Deloitte Touche), having joined
the firm in 1970. He earned a bachelor's degree from the
University of Michigan in 1970 and an MBA from Harvard in 1975.
Appel serves as a director of Smith Breeden Associates, Inc., a
money management and banking firm based in North Carolina.
Active in the community, Appel serves on the boards of Minnesota
DARE, the Minnesota Zoo and Minneapolis Athletic Club. In
addition, he was a section chair of the Minneapolis United Way
1993 campaign. His professional affiliations include the
Financial Executives Institute and the Securities Industry
Association's Clearance and Settlement Committee.
Inter-Regional Financial Group is, through Dain Bosworth
Incorporated and Rauscher Pierce Refsnes, Inc., one of the
nation's largest full-service regional brokerage and investment
banking companies. IFG's two broker-dealers serve individual,
institutional, corporate and governmental clients in 22
predominantly western states. IFG also is the parent company of
Insight Investment Management, Inc., adviser for the Great Hall
Funds, and Regional Operations Group, Inc., a brokerage
operations and technology services subsidiary. The company's
common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol IFG.
