          3.   Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower and Guarantor

on the part of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors which is a party hereto and
thereto and, if necessary, their respective stockholders and is in full force
and effect as of the date hereof, as the case may be, and the agreements and
obligations of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors, as the case may be,
contained herein and therein, constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of each of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively, enforceable
against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability is limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to
or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and except to the
extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive
relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought.

                    3.2   The execution, delivery and performance of this
Amendment No. 7 are all within each Borrower's and Guarantor's corporate or
limited liability company powers and are not in contravention of law or the

by laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture,

                    3.3   No Default or Event of Default exists or has occurred

          4.   Condition Precedent. The effectiveness of the amendments

deliver such additional documents and take such additional action as may be

this Amendment No. 7 and the other Financing Agreements (except as otherwise
provided therein) and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the
parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be
governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois but excluding any
principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the
application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of
Illinois.

          8.   Binding Effect. This Amendment No. 7 shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective

          10.   Counterparts. This Amendment No. 7 may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment No. 7 by telefacsimile shall have the same force
and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment
No. 7. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment No. 7 by
telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the
failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect
of such agreement.
