figures for the corresponding quarter and the corresponding portion of the
previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and certified (subject to normal
year-end adjustments) as to fairness of presentation, in accordance with GAAP,
by the principal financial officer or manager as applicable, and (ii) as soon as
available and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal
year of Guarantor, a balance sheet and the related statements of net earnings
and stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows of Guarantor as of the end
of such fiscal year, fairly and accurately presenting the financial condition of

figures for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year, all in
reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and
audited by Ernst & Young or such other independent certified public accountants

accountants;

(c) In the event of any proceeding to enforce the collection
of the Obligations, or any of them, after default, the reasonable expenses of
collecting or enforcing payment of the Obligations, including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs related to any of the foregoing.
(d) If interest on any portion of the indebtedness of Borrower
to Bank ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of a
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, the Obligations shall include such interest
as would have accrued on any such portion of such indebtedness if such
proceeding had not commenced at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan
Agreement).
3. Security Interest. To secure timely payment of the Obligations and
performance in full of the other obligations related thereto, Guarantor hereby
grants to the Bank a continuing lien upon and security interest in and to all

or lease of inventory or other goods or out of the rendering of services,
whether or not specifically assigned to the Bank;

The terms used herein to identify the assets described above shall have
the respective meanings assigned to such terms as of the date hereof in the
Illinois Uniform Commercial Code.
If in the reasonable judgment of Bank said security or any additions
thereto or substitutes therefor or any part thereof, shall have depreciated in
value, or if Borrower shall have failed or refused to make full and prompt
payments, when due, of any Obligations of Borrower, the payment of which is
guaranteed hereunder, after the expiration of all cure and grace periods, the
Bank, at its option, shall have full power at any time and from time to time to
sell, assign and deliver the whole of said property and all additions thereto
and substitutes therefor, or any part of said property, additions and
substitutes at any public or private sale, and without advertising the same and
without notice to Guarantor, and with the right of the Bank to be a purchaser at
any such sale or sales, and in the event of any sale or purchase hereunder no
matter by or to whom made, all notice thereof, and any and all equity or right
of redemption, whether before or after sale hereunder is hereby expressly
waived; and, after deducting all legal and other costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, from the proceeds of such sale or sales, to apply
the remainder on any Obligations of Borrower, or of Guarantor covered hereby
whether due or not, as the Bank shall deem proper, and return the surplus, if
any, to Guarantor.
4. Representations, Warranties and Promises. Guarantor represents,
warrants and promises as follows:
(a) Guarantor is a duly organized and validly existing
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has and
will continue to have all requisite power and authority to enter into, deliver
and be bound by this Guaranty and has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty.
(b) The execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Guaranty,
Guarantor's performance of all of its obligations hereunder and consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby do not conflict with or violate any
applicable law or any ruling, judgment or order of any court or other
governmental authority, and do not and will not conflict with or result in or
constitute any breach or default under or result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement, indenture or undertaking
to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of its property is
bound.
(c) There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court or other governmental
authority, pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against or
affecting Guarantor or any of its property, which has, or would have, a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition of Guarantor.
(d) No approval, consent or authorization of any governmental
authority is required in connection with Guarantor's entering into or performing
its obligations under this Guaranty.
(e) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
terms.
5. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute and be defined as an "Event of Default"
hereunder:
(a) Any failure by Guarantor to observe or perform any
covenant, agreement, or condition under, contained in or referred to in this
Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof, after any cure or grace period has
expired.
(b) Any failure of a representation or warranty of Guarantor
contained or referred to in this Guaranty to be true and correct as of the date
hereof in all material respects.
(c) Any material misrepresentation made by Guarantor in this
Guaranty or in any document furnished by Guarantor to Bank in connection with
this Guaranty.
(d) An "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement shall have
occurred.
(e) The cessation to do business as a going concern, the
liquidation or the dissolution, of Guarantor.
(f) The appointment of a receiver for any part of the property
of Guarantor, the making by Guarantor of any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any composition of creditors or the initiation by or against
Guarantor of any proceeding under the Code or any state insolvency law and such
proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the commencement
thereof.
6. Rights of Parties Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, all Obligations shall, at the election of Bank, become
immediately due and payable, without notice to Guarantor, together with interest
thereon as provided in the instruments representing such Obligations and, in
addition, Bank shall have all the rights and remedies provided under the Notes,
the Loan Agreement, the Other Agreements, other provisions hereof and any other
applicable law. No remedy of Bank herein is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Guaranty or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or under any other
agreement. Bank, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to proceed first
and directly against Guarantor under this Guaranty without proceeding against
Borrower or any other person or any property, without exhausting any other
remedies which it may have and without resorting to any other security held by
or otherwise available to Bank. Each and every Event of Default shall give rise
to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought
hereunder as each cause of action arises, but it shall not be necessary for Bank
to xxx on each and every cause. No delay or omission to exercise any right or
power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. No course
of dealing between Guarantor and Bank nor any delay in exercising any rights
hereunder or under the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements shall
operate as a waiver of any rights of Bank. In the event any provision contained
in this Guaranty should be breached by Guarantor and thereafter duly waived by
Bank such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall
not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver, amendment, release
or modification of this Guaranty shall be established by conduct, custom or
course of dealing, but solely by an instrument in writing duly executed by the
parties thereto. In the event any payment by Borrower to Bank is held to be a
preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason Bank is
required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other person,
firm or corporation, such payment by Borrower to Bank shall not constitute a
release of Guarantor from any liability respecting payment of the Obligations
guaranteed hereby, and Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to Bank upon demand.
7. Waiver.
(a) Waiver by Bank of any Event of Default hereunder, or of
any breach of the provisions of this Guaranty by Guarantor, shall not constitute
a waiver of any other Event of Default or breach, nor of the same Event of
Default or breach on a future occasion. No delay or omission on the part of Bank
in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or remedy, nor shall the exercise of any right or remedy preclude
later or further exercise thereof. All rights or remedies of Bank on account of
the Collateral or on account of any of the Obligations, whether arising under
this Guaranty or otherwise, shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of each other,
and may be exercised by Bank at such times and in such order as Bank may
determine.
(b) Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand, diligence,
protest and notice of dishonor and protest and any other notice with respect to
any and all of the Obligations and waives acceptance of this Guaranty by Bank
and waives notice of and consent to and agrees that its obligations hereunder
and Bank's rights hereunder shall not be affected by one or more extensions or
renewals or modifications of any of the Obligations or the exercise of any and
all rights, powers, options, privileges and authorities granted to Bank by law
or by the terms of any instruments evidencing such obligations or otherwise. No
waiver or modification or amendment to the terms of this Guaranty shall be
effective as against Bank unless the same is in writing and signed by Bank.
8. GUARANTOR WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAW THAT WOULD OTHERWISE
RESTRICT OR LIMIT BANK IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS, WHICH ARE HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGED, TO APPROPRIATE WITHOUT NOTICE, AT ANY TIME HEREAFTER, ANY
INDEBTEDNESS MATURED OR UNMATURED, OWING FROM BANK TO GUARANTOR AFTER EXPIRATION
OF ALL CURE PERIODS. BANK MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, WITHOUT DEMAND OR NOTICE OF
ANY KIND, APPROPRIATE AND APPLY TOWARD THE PAYMENT OF SUCH OF THE OBLIGATIONS,
AND IN SUCH ORDER OF APPLICATION AS THE BANK MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, ELECT ANY
AND ALL SUCH BALANCES, CREDITS, DEPOSITS, ACCOUNTS, MONEYS, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND
OTHER ASSETS, IN THE NAME OF GUARANTOR, THEN OR THEREAFTER WITH BANK. GUARANTOR
HEREBY ASSIGNS AND TRANSFERS TO BANK ANY AND ALL CASH, NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS,
DOCUMENTS OF TITLE, CHATTEL PAPER, SECURITIES, CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT, DEPOSIT
ACCOUNTS, OTHER CASH EQUIVALENTS AND OTHER ASSETS OF GUARANTOR, IN THE
POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF BANK FOR ANY PURPOSE.
9. GUARANTOR WAIVES THE FILING OF A CLAIM WITH A COURT IN THE EVENT OF
RECEIVERSHIP OR BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER, AND WAIVES EVERY DEFENSE, CAUSE OF
ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH GUARANTOR MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY
HAVE TO ANY ACTION BY BANK IN ENFORCING THIS GUARANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, EVERY DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH GUARANTOR MAY NOW HAVE,
OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE, AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PARTY LIABLE TO BANK IN ANY
MANNER. GUARANTOR RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS WHATEVER BANK MAY DO PURSUANT TO THE
TERMS HEREOF AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, AND AGREES
THAT BANK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR IN JUDGMENT OR MISTAKES OF FACT OR
LAW. GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT IT MAY BE JOINED AS A PARTY DEFENDANT IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A FORECLOSURE PROCEEDING)
INSTITUTED BY BANK AGAINST BORROWER. GUARANTOR AND BANK IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH
GUARANTOR AND BANK ARE ADVERSE PARTIES. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT
TO BANK GRANTING BORROWER ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS AND ACCEPTING THIS
GUARANTY.
10. Repayment Claim. Should a claim be made upon Bank at any time for
repayment of any amount received by Bank in payment of the Obligations, or any
part thereof, whether received from Borrower, Guarantor pursuant hereto, or
otherwise from Borrower, or received by Bank as the proceeds of collateral, by
reason of: (1) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over Bank or any of its property, or (2) any settlement or
compromise of any such repayment claim effected by Bank, in its sole discretion,
with the claimant (including Borrower), Guarantor shall remain liable to Bank
for the amount so repaid to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been received by Bank, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the
cancellation of any of the Notes or other instruments evidencing any of the
Obligations.
TO INDUCE BANK TO GRANT FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO BORROWER, GUARANTOR
IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AS A RESULT
OR IN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS GUARANTY, SHALL BE INSTITUTED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN
COURTS HAVING SITUS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY
CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT
LOCATED AND HAVING ITS SITUS IN SAID CITY, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON
FORUM NONCONVENIENS, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL
PROCESS, AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED
MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO GUARANTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED
IN THE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH ABOVE OR IN BANK'S RECORDS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED
BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE. FURTHERMORE, GUARANTOR
WAIVES ALL NOTICES AND DEMANDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF BANK'S
RIGHTS HEREUNDER, AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO, AND WAIVES NOTICE OF THE RELEASE WITH
OR WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT
OF THE OBLIGATIONS, OR OF ANY COLLATERAL THEREFOR.
