WHEREAS, LaSalle, Bank One and the Company desire to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, as hereinafter described in this Amendment;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the following term shall have the meaning indicated:

“Sixth Amendment Effective Date” means the date upon which this Amendment is executed by the Company, LaSalle, and Bank One, and the Guarantor Consent and Reaffirmation hereto is executed by each Guarantor, and each other condition to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 hereof has been fulfilled to the reasonable satisfaction of LaSalle and Bank One.

2. Amendment of Credit Agreement. Effective on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(A) Section 3.1(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) Unless earlier payment is permitted or required under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances, (ii) on or before June 30, 2003, $5,000,000 of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, and (iii) on the

Term Loan Termination Date, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. If the Revolving Credit Advances at any time exceed the amount allowed pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the Company shall prepay the Revolving Credit Advances by an amount equal to or, at its option, greater than such excess.

(B) Section 3.2(c) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(i) for the period from the Closing Date to but excluding March 1, 2003, (x) at the rate of 9½% per annum, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, plus (y) 3½% per annum, which shall not be compounded and which shall be payable only on the Term Loan Termination Date or earlier maturity, whether pursuant to permitted prepayment, acceleration or otherwise; and

(ii) for the period including and after March 1, 2003 to but excluding May 1, 2003, (x) at the rate of 11½% per annum, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, plus (y) 3½% per annum, which shall not be compounded and which shall be payable only on the Term Loan Termination Date or earlier maturity, whether pursuant to permitted prepayment, acceleration or otherwise; and

(iii) for the period including and after May 1, 2003, (x) at the rate of 13½% per annum, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, plus (y) 3½% per annum, which shall not be compounded and which shall be payable only on the Term Loan Termination Date or earlier maturity, whether pursuant to permitted prepayment, acceleration or otherwise.

The interest in respect of the Term Loan applicable under clause (i)(x) or (ii)(x) or (iii)(x) preceding (as applicable) is referred to herein as the “Payable Interest Rate” and the interest in respect of the Term Loan applicable under clause (i)(y) or (ii)(y) or (iii)(y) preceding (as applicable) is referred to herein as the “Accruing Interest Rate”. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(c), if Bank One is replaced in full as the holder of the Term Loan on or after May 1, 2003 and prior to July 1, 2003 and all Lender Indebtedness owing to Bank One by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is paid in full in cash by such date (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnity obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents are stated to survive), then the interest provisions applicable to interest on the Term Loan described in clause (iii) shall not apply with respect to any period after Bank One has been replaced in full as the holder of the Term Loan and its Lender Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash as described above.

(C) When executed and delivered, this Amendment and each other instrument, document or agreement to be executed and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto, and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles.

(D) No Unmatured Event or Event of Default exists, taking into account the changes to the Credit Agreement contemplated by this Amendment, and the representations and warranties made by the Company and the Continuing Guarantors in the Loan Documents to which each is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this Amendment and each other instrument, document or agreement to be executed and delivered by any of them pursuant thereto, as if made on and as of this date, other than those that relate to an earlier or specific date.

This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same document. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile signature, and any such facsimile signature by any party hereto shall be deemed to be an original signature and shall be binding on such party to the same extent as if such facsimile signature were an original signature.

(E) Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(F) References.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.
