REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
LOAN AGREEMENT
(ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND INVENTORY)
This agreement is entered into by and between Schuff Steel Company, an Arizona
corporation ('Borrower') and Bank One, Arizona, NA ('Bank').
RECITALS:
Borrower desires to obtain from Bank a revolving line of credit ('Loan') and
Bank is willing to make the Loan, but only on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. LOAN.
1.1 REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT. Subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein and in the other documents, instruments and agreements executed in
connection with the Loan and the security therefor ('Loan Documents'), Bank will
establish for Borrower the Loan as a revolving line of credit against which Bank
will make advances ('Advances') from time to time for the purpose of providing
working capital to Borrower. Subject to the terms hereof, Borrower shall have
the right to obtain Advances, repay Advances and obtain additional Advances;
however, all of the Advances hereunder shall be viewed as a single loan. At no
time shall the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceed the amount set forth
in Section 13 hereof ('Maximum Amount') and all Advances of the Loan shall be
made on or before the date set forth in Section 13 hereof.
1.2 ADVANCES. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Advances of the Loan
will be made in amounts not to exceed the amount ('Borrowing Base') calculated
in accordance with the formula set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate,
attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference incorporated herein. In
calculating the Borrowing Base, the percentage set forth in Section 13 hereof of
the amount of Total Eligible Accounts Receivable and the percentage set forth in
Section 13 hereof of the amount (determined on the basis of the lower of cost or
market value) of Total Eligible Inventory shall be used. 'Eligible Account
Receivable' is an amount owing to Borrower, as determined by Bank in its sole
and absolute discretion, which has arisen from the delivery and/or shipment of
products previously made and from services rendered for which an invoice has
been issued by Borrower to its customer ('Customer') (a) which amount is not
subject to any offset, counterclaim or defense asserted by the Customer, (b)
which amount is subject to a perfected security interest in favor of Bank and is
not subject to any other security interest, lien, claim or encumbrances, (c)
which amount has not remained unpaid for more than the number of days set forth
in Section 13 after the date due under the terms of the related invoice, (d)
where not more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount owing from the
Customer has remained unpaid for more than the number of days set forth in
Section 13 after the date due under the terms of the related invoice, (e) which
amount is not an uninsured amount owing from Customer located in a foreign
country and (f) which amount is not owing from the United States of America or
any agency, department or subdivision thereof, unless a properly executed
assignment of claims has been received by Bank. 'Eligible Inventory' is the
inventory of Borrower (consisting of those items within the categories set forth
in Section 13), as determined by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion, to be
(a) in good condition and salable in the ordinary course of Borrower's business,
(b) owned by Borrower free and clear of any mortgages, liens, security
interests, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, excepting only the security
interests in favor of Bank, (c) located at a location identified in a Security
Agreement (hereinafter defined), (d) subject to a perfected security interest in
favor of Bank, (e) not subject to any consignment to any Customer and (f) not
acquired by Borrower in or as part of a bulk transfer of sale or assets unless
Borrower has complied with all applicable bulk sales or bulk transfer laws.
1.3 NOTE. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note ('Note') of even date
herewith in a form prepared and approved by Bank in the Maximum Amount, payable
in accordance with the terms thereof. Interest on the principal amount
outstanding from time to time shall be charged as provided in the Note and
should such rate of interest as calculated thereunder exceed that allowed by
law, the applicable rate of interest will be the maximum rate of interest
allowed by applicable law.
1.4 PREPAYMENTS. If for any reason the aggregate principal amount of the Loan
outstanding at any time shall exceed the maximum amount permitted to be borrowed
in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof, Borrower, without notice or demand, shall
immediately make a principal payment to Bank in an amount equal to such excess
plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon. Borrower may from time to time, prepay
all or part of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
1.5 REMITTANCE ACCOUNT. If so indicated in Section 13 hereof, the proceeds
received by Borrower from its inventory and collection of accounts receivable,
which, pursuant to the Security Agreements (hereinafter defined), are required
to be transmitted to Bank, shall be handled and administered by Bank in and
through a remittance account in accordance with the provisions of the Security
Agreements.
2. SECURITY.
2.1 SECURITY AGREEMENTS. As security for the payment of the Note, the Loan, and
all other liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank, now existing or
hereafter created, Borrower shall grant to Bank a security interest in all of
Borrower's inventory, accounts receivable, rights to payment and such other
property ('Property'), as more particularly described in one or more security
agreements ('Security Agreements') executed by Borrower and delivered to Bank in
form and substance satisfactory to Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion.
The Security Agreements shall grant to Bank a first and prior security interest
in and to the Property, except as otherwise expressly provided therein.
1
2.2 ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute from time to time upon the
request of Bank, such financing statements or other documents reasonably
required by Bank to perfect or continue Bank's security interests described
herein.
2
3. ADVANCES.
3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ADVANCES. Bank shall have no obligation to make any
Advance until the conditions set forth in the following subparagraphs and
elsewhere herein have been satisfied at the expense of Borrower, as determined

to Bank, this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreements and such other
documents, instruments, financing statements, certificates and agreements as
Bank may reasonably request;
(b) If Borrower is a corporation or a partnership, Borrower shall have
delivered to Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole and
absolute discretion certified copies of resolutions of Borrower's board of
directors or partners, as the case may be, authorizing Borrower to execute,

interest in the Property as provided in the Security Agreements and

may be, of Borrower authorized to sign the Loan Documents;
(c) All of Bank's liens and security interests securing the Loan, shall have

Documents shall be true and correct as of the date of each Advance; and
(f) Borrower shall have kept and performed the various covenants, obligations
and agreements on its part to be kept and performed under the Loan Documents
and no Event of Default, or act or event which with the giving of notice or
the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, shall have occurred and be
continuing.
3.2 REQUEST FOR ADVANCES. Advances may be made by Bank at the oral or written
request of the persons named in Section 13 hereof, either one acting alone, who
are authorized to request Advances and direct disposition of any such Advances
until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received from

reaffirmation, as of the date of such request, of all of the representations and
warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan
Documents.
3.3 NO WAIVER. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to
any further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such
condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Bank from
thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined).
4. FEES.

Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the following fees, which shall be non-refundable
