to those persons listed under "TI Partners, L.P.'s Distributees."
(2) These restricted shares were distributed as described above to

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The general and limited partners of TI Partners, L.P. and GKB LBO,
L.P. have agreed with each other to retain some of their Shares for
a period of time which is sufficient to satisfy the "continuity
of interest" requirements under Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, Talbco, Inc., Nick
T. Encke and certain of the limited partners have agreed with
the Company not to sell their Shares until on or about February
15, 1995.
Subject to the foregoing, the Shares may be sold on one or more
exchanges or in negotiated transactions not on an exchange at prices
and on terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then
current market price or at negotiated prices. The Shares may be sold
by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the
broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; and (b) ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. In effecting
sales, brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts
in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale which
amounts will not be greater than that normally paid in connection with
ordinary trading transactions.
In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify
for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this Prospectus.

liabilities and has insurance against certain payments which it
may be obliged to make to such persons under the indemnification
provisions of its Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)
(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or
cause to be delivered with the Prospectus, to each person to whom the
Prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders
that is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and furnished pursuant
to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information
required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth
in the Prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person
to whom the Prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that
is specifically incorporated by reference in the Prospectus to provide such
interim financial information.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described
under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly
caused this Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Carthage, State
of Missouri, on the 13th day of October, 1994.
