Clark President Tecla Company, inc. 2455 E. West Maple Road P.O. Box 9027 Walled Lake, Michigan 48390-9027 Dear Dick: On behalf of NBD Bank, we are pleased to provide the following proposal and commitment for your consideration with regard to the capital expansion plan for Tecla Company, Inc. FACILITY A: PROPOSED PARTIES: Proposed irrevocable letter of credit ("L/C") to be issued by NBD Bank ("NI3D") in favor of a trustee to be named ("Trustee") for the account of Tecla Company, Inc. ("the Company"). PURPOSE : To insure the payment of industrial revenue bonds C'Bonds") to be issued for the benefit of the Company for a project located in Walled Lake, Michigan. AMOUNT: NBD's aggregate liability under the L/C will not exceed $1,985,890.41, which includes required interest coverage and principal, for a Bond issue of up to $1,900,000.00. The interest coverage represents 110 days of interest at a maximum rate of 15% per annum based on a 365-day year. BOW FORMAT The bonds would initially be marketed on a lower-floater" basis, i.e. interest rate re- set weekly to reflect the then current market rate for equivalent tax-exempt securities. Bondholders would have the right to tender their Bonds to the Trustee for purchase by the Company on seven days notice. The Placement Agent would endeavor to sell any Bonds tendered by the tender date. Any Bonds not remarketed could be held by the Company pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement until a remarketing opportunity arose (as detailed in Reimbursement Agreement paragraph below) or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Subsidiary of NBD Bancorp, Inc. -2- August 2, 1995 Mr, Richard N. Clark BOND FORMAT: (Cont'd.) Bond documentation would provide the Company an option to convert the Bonds to a. fixed rate if buyers could be found at mutually acceptable rates and terms. In the event of such conversion, the NTBD L/C would be amended to accommodate the fixed rate option or terminated. Prior to such conversion, the Bonds would be prepayable in multiples of $100,000, without premium at the option of the Company upon 45- days notice. BOND MATURITIES: Final maturity not to exceed 20 years. Annual principal payments must be in multiples of $100,000, paid in years 2-20. Interest is paid quarterly. LETTER OF CREDIT COMMISSION: E25% per annum, payable annually in advance, based upon NBD's liability under the L/C (including any liability subject to reinstatement). The commission rate may be subject to annual adjustment as provided in the paragraph entitled "Yield Protection" below. LETTER OF CREDIT REDUCTIONS: Reductions in the L/C will be automatically instituted with each scheduled principal payment and will be permitted by written authorization of the Trustee based on principal prepayments on the Bonds. REDUCTIONS ARV EARLY TERMINATION: Prepaid commissions will be refunded on a pro-rata basis after the first year as L/C reductions are authorized by the Trustee as a result of scheduled Bond principal payments or pre-payments. In the event that NBD is replaced by another bank as letter of credit issuer for the Bonds, or the Bonds are refunded through another issue prior to an expiry date, a premium will be due equal to the commissions that would accrue over the remaining scheduled maturities at the then existing commission rate discounted to the L/C scheduled expiry date at the U.S. Treasury rate with maturity equal to the remaining term of the L/C plus 50 basis points. No such premium will be payable, however, if NBD's credit rating by a major credit rating agency declines below single A and the replacement bank's equivalent rating is single A or higher. LETTER OF CREDIT EXPIRY: Not later than 15 days following the fifth anniversary of the Bonds' issuance date unless extended at the sole discretion of NBD. Upon the Company's request (received within 6 months of the original expiry date or any subsequent extension thereof) NBD will, within 30 days, advise the Company of the terms by which it is willing to extend the existing expiry date. YIELD PROTECTION: The Company would be required to reimburse the Bank for any increased cost in the issuing or maintaining the L/C imposed by a change in any law, rule, regulation, or circumstance affecting the Bank's yield. This would include any change to the capital adequacy requirements. Subsidiary of NBD Bancorp, lac. -3- August 2, 1995 Mr. Richard N.
