         3.       Repayment, Interest Rate, Selection of Interest Rate,

         A.       Repayment

                  December 31, 2000 and on the last day of each quarterly period
                  thereafter.

B. Interest Rate

The outstanding principal hereunder shall bear interest at either of the
following rates as selected by Maker (see Selection of Interest Rate) from time
to time (the "Interest Rate"):

         (a)      Prime Rate. The outstanding principal hereunder may bear
                  interest at the Prime Rate per annum, floating. As used
                  herein, the phrase "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate in effect
                  from time to time as fixed by the management of the Bank for
                  the guidance of its loan officers and called its Prime Rate,
                  whether or not such rate is otherwise published. The effective
                  date of any change in the Prime Rate shall for purposes hereof
                  be the date the rate is changed by the Bank. The Bank shall
                  not be obligated to give notice of any change in the Prime
                  Rate. The use of the term "Prime Rate" herein is not intended
                  nor does it imply that said rate of interest is a preferred
                  rate of interest or one which is offered by the Bank to its
                  most creditworthy customers.

         (b)      LIBOR. The outstanding principal hereunder may bear interest
                  at LIBOR (as defined below) per annum plus one and thirty-five
                  one hundredths percent (1.35%) (the "LIBOR Rate"). For
                  purposes hereof, LIBOR means, for each Interest Period, a rate
                  of interest equal to the rate per annum as conclusively
                  determined by the Bank in good faith (rounded upward, if
                  necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) at which United
                  States dollar deposits in an amount equal to the principal
                  amount of the applicable LIBOR Loan (as defined below)
                  outstanding hereunder and for a period equal to the relevant
                  "Interest Period" are offered generally to the Bank in the
                  London Interbank Market quoted at 11:00 a.m., London time, two
                  banking days prior to the commencement of each Interest
                  Period, such rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period.
                  "INTEREST PERIOD" shall mean a period (i) commencing (A) with
                  respect to the conversion of all or a portion of a Prime Loan
                  to a LIBOR Loan, on the business day specified by Borrower in
                  writing to the Bank or (B) with respect to the continuation as
                  a LIBOR Loan of all or a portion of a then existing LIBOR Loan
                  after the expiration of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable
                  to such existing LIBOR Loan, and (ii) ending 30, 60 or 90 days
                  thereafter as selected by the Borrower pursuant to a written
                  notice to the Bank; provided, however, that

                  (1) if any LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise end on a day
                  that is not a business day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall
                  end on the next succeeding business day, unless the result of
                  such extension would be to carry such LIBOR Interest Period
                  into another calendar month, in which event such LIBOR
                  Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding
                  business day; and

                  (2) any LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan
                  that would otherwise extend beyond the Maturity Date shall end
                  on the Maturity Date; and

                  (3) any LIBOR Interest Period which begins on the last
                  business day of the calendar month (or on a day for which
                  there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar
                  month at the end of such LIBOR Interest Period) shall, subject
                  to Paragraph 2 above end on the last business day of a
                  calendar month; and

                  (4) if for any reason the Maker shall fail to timely select an
                  Interest Rate in the manner described below, then it shall be
                  deemed to have selected the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR
                  Loans shall be payable on the last day of each quarterly
                  period commencing on the 31st day of December, 2000, and
                  continuing on the last day of each quarterly period
                  thereafter, at maturity, after maturity on demand, and on the
                  date of any principal payment herein on the amount paid. Maker
                  further hereby promises to pay to the order of Bank, on
                  demand, interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof after
                  maturity (whether by acceleration, or otherwise) at the rate
                  set forth below under "Default Interest".


<PAGE>   4




                  "Prime Loan(s)" means, at any time, that portion of the
                  principal which Maker selects with proper notice to Bank to
                  bear interest at the Prime Rate.

                  "LIBOR Loan(s)" means, at any time, that portion of the
                  principal which Maker selects with proper notice to Bank to
                  bear interest at the LIBOR Rate.

                  The Bank's determination of LIBOR as provided above shall be
                  conclusive, absent manifest error. Furthermore, if the Bank
                  determines in good faith (which determination shall be
                  presumed to be in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall
                  be conclusive), prior to the commencement of any Interest
                  Period that (a) U.S. dollar deposits of sufficient amount and
                  maturity for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available to the
                  Bank in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary
                  course of business, or (b) by reason of circumstances
                  affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and
                  fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest
                  to be applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, the Bank shall
                  promptly notify the Maker and such LIBOR Loan shall
                  automatically convert on the last day of the then-current
                  Interest Period to a loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate.

                  If, for any reason, any LIBOR Loan is paid prior to the last
                  business day of its then current Interest Period, the Maker
                  agrees to indemnify the Bank against any loss (including any
                  loss on redeployment of the funds repaid), cost or expense
                  incurred by the Bank as a result of such prepayment.

C. Selection of Interest Rate. An authorized officer of Maker shall give bank
irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed in writing no later than 11:00 a.m.
Chicago time on the business day prior to the expiration of the then current
Interest Period of its selection of an Interest Rate. In the event Bank does not
receive such notice in a timely fashion, then the Maker shall be deemed to have
selected the LIBOR Rate for the next succeeding Interest Period.

D. Application of Payments. All payments received on account of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note shall be applied to the payment of the following
obligations in the order set forth (a) to indebtedness (including accrued and
unpaid interest due thereon) secured by any collateral or security agreement
entered into in connection with this Note other than the principal balance
evidenced hereby and the interest due thereon; (b) to interest at the rate set
forth above; (c) to payment of late charges, enforcement costs and other
expenses; (d) to interest at the Default Rate; and (e) the remainder, if any,
shall be applied to the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder.

1.3 Section 6E. Section 6E of the Loan Agreement as amended is hereby deleted
and amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
