        5.         Events of Default; Acceleration of Payments. Under certain
circumstances described in Article 7 of the Loan Agreement, the occurrence of an

conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Illinois.

          (f)         The liability of each Loan Party under this Note in
general shall be joint and several, and each reference herein to the Loan
Parties shall be deemed to refer to each such Loan Party. In furtherance and not

and severally, hereby promise to pay to the order of THOMAS WALLACE (“Lender”),
the principal sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth herein (the “Principal Balance”),
together with interest thereon, which shall be due and payable as provided

        This promissory note is a “First Amendment Senior Subordinated Note”
referred to in, and Lender is entitled to the benefits of, that certain Senior
Subordinated Loan Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2000 as amended by that
certain Waiver, Consent and First Amendment to Senior Subordinated Loan

Subordinated Note shall be subject in all respects to the terms and provisions
of the Loan Agreement, as the same may be hereafter amended from time to time.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        1.         Payment of Interest.

          (a)         So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, interest shall accrue from the date hereof on the Principal Balance
from time to time outstanding until paid, computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed, initially at a fixed annual rate of
12.00%.

          (b)         During the Deferred Interest Period, accrued interest on
the Principal Balance shall be added to the Principal Balance as of the close of
business on the Quarterly Payment Date. Thereafter, accrued interest shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. The
Principal amount of the First Amendment Loans, including all amounts added
thereto pursuant to this Section 1(b), shall be payable in accordance with
Section 3 hereof. In addition, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid
upon the payment in full of the Principal Balance and, if payment in full is not
made when due, thereafter on demand. For illustration purposes only, an interest
calculation reflecting the application of this Section 1(b) to the First
Amendment Loans is set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(ii) of the Loan Agreement.

        2.         Additional Interest. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Obligations shall bear interest from
the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, payable on demand, at a
fixed annual rate of 15.00%.

        3.         Payment of Principal. The aggregate Principal Balance shall
be paid in full on June 30, 2007, subject to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement concerning mandatory and optional prepayments.

        4.         Payment Instructions. All payments of principal, interest,
and any other amounts due and payable hereunder shall be made prior to 12:00
p.m., Chicago, Illinois, time, on the due date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to Lender’s account as specified in Schedule 2.5 to the Loan
Agreement (or at any other payment office in the United States previously
designated to the Loan Parties by Lender in writing), in lawful money of the
United States of America.

        5.         Events of Default; Acceleration of Payments. Under certain
circumstances described in Article 7 of the Loan Agreement, the occurrence of an
Event of Default may result in the acceleration of any and all Obligations of
the Loan Parties hereunder and the same may thereupon become immediately due and
payable.

        6.         Miscellaneous.

          (a)         Pursuant to 26 C.F.R. §1.1275-3, the Company states that
its President or Chief Executive Officer, as representative of the Loan Parties,

amount of original issue discount, issue date and yield to maturity.

          (b)         Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan
Agreement, the Loan Parties whether as makers, endorsers or otherwise, severally
waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of
this First Amendment Senior Subordinated Note.

          (c)         The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, expended or incurred by Lender in connection with

the Loan Agreement.

          (e)         This First Amendment Senior Subordinated Note shall be
deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of Illinois and for all
purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Illinois.

          (f)         The liability of each Loan Party under this Note in
general shall be joint and several, and each reference herein to the Loan
Parties shall be deemed to refer to each such Loan Party. In furtherance and not
in limitation of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or at law, Lender may
proceed under this Note against any one or more of the Loan Parties in its
absolute and sole discretion for any Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan
Agreement or any other liability or obligation of the Loan Parties arising
