        correct.

        No Event of Default. There shall not exist at the time of any Advance a
        condition which would constitute an Event of Default under this
        Agreement or under any Related Document.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender, as
of the date of this Agreement, as of the date of each disbursement of loan
proceeds, as of the date of any renewal, extension or modification of any Loan,
and at all times any Indebtedness exists:

        Organization. Borrower is a corporation for profit which is, and at all
        times shall be, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
        under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower is
        duly authorized to transact business in the State of Illinois and all
        other states in which Borrower is doing business, having obtained all
        necessary filings, governmental licenses and approvals for each state in
        which Borrower is doing business. Specifically, Borrower is, and at all
        times shall be, duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all states in
        which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on
        its business or financial condition. Borrower has the full power and
        authority to own its properties and to transact the business in which it
        is presently engaged or presently proposes to engage. Borrower maintains
        an office at 310 S. Schuyler Avenue, Kankakee, IL 60901. Unless Borrower
        has designated otherwise in writing, the principal office is the office
        at which Borrower keeps its books and records including its records
        concerning the Collateral. Borrower will notify Lender prior to any
        change in the location of Borrower's state of organization or any change
        in Borrower's name. Borrower shall do all things necessary to preserve
        and to keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and
        privileges, and shall comply with all regulations, rules, ordinances,
        statutes, orders and decrees of any governmental or quasi-governmental
        authority or court applicable to Borrower and Borrower's business
        activities.

        Assumed Business Names. Borrower has filed or recorded all documents or
        filings required by law relating to all assumed business names used by
        Borrower. Excluding the name of Borrower, the following is a complete
        list of all assumed business names under which Borrower does business:
        None.

        Authorization. Borrower's execution, delivery, and performance of this
        Agreement and all the Related Documents have been duly authorized by all
        necessary action by Borrower and do not conflict with, result in a
        violation of, or constitute a default under (1) any provision of
        Borrower's articles of incorporation or organization, or bylaws, or any
        agreement or other instrument binding upon Borrower or (2) any law,
        governmental regulation, court decree, or order applicable to Borrower
        or to Borrower's properties.

        Financial Information. Each of Borrower's financial statements supplied
        to Lender truly and completely disclosed Borrower's financial condition
        as of the date of the statement, and there has been no material adverse
        change in Borrower's financial condition subsequent to the date of the
        most recent financial statement supplied to Lender. Borrower has no
        material contingent obligations except as disclosed in such financial
        statements.

        Legal Effect. This Agreement constitutes, and any instrument or
        agreement Borrower is required to give under this Agreement when
        delivered will constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of
        Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their
        respective terms.

        Properties. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as previously
        disclosed in Borrower's financial statements or in writing to Lender and
        as accepted by Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes not
        presently due and payable, Borrower owns and has good title to all of
        Borrower's properties free and clear of all Security Interests, and has
        not executed any security documents or financing statements relating to
        such properties. All of Borrower's properties are titled in Borrower's
        legal name, and Borrower has not used or filed a financing statement
        under any other name for at least the last five (5) years.

        Hazardous Substances. Except as disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender
        in writing, Borrower represents and warrants that: (1) During the period
        of Borrower's ownership of Borrower's Collateral, there has been no use,
        generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or
        threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any person on, under,
        about or from any of the Collateral. (2) Borrower has no knowledge of,
        or reason to believe that there has been (a) any breach or violation of
        any Environmental Laws; (b) any use, generation, manufacture, storage,
        treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
        Substance on, under, about or from the Collateral by any prior owners or
        occupants of any of the Collateral; or (c) any actual or threatened
        litigation or claims of any kind by any

Loan No: NEW                       (Continued)                            Page 2

        person relating to such matters. (3) Neither Borrower nor any tenant,
        contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the Collateral
        shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of or release
        any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from any of the Collateral;
        and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with all
        applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances,
        including without limitation all Environmental Laws. Borrower authorizes
        Lender and its agents to enter upon the Collateral to make such
        inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine
        compliance of the Collateral with this section of the Agreement. Any
        inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower's expense and
        for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any
        responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any
        other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are
        based on Borrower's due diligence in investigating the Collateral for
        hazardous waste and Hazardous Substances. Borrower hereby (1) releases
        and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or
        contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other
        costs under any such laws, and (2) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
        Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
        penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain
        or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as
        a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal,
        release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the
        Collateral. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including
        the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the
        Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or satisfaction of this
        Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any
        interest in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

        Litigation and Claims. No litigation, claim, investigation,
        administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid
        taxes) against Borrower is pending or threatened, and no other event has
        occurred which may materially adversely affect Borrower's financial
        condition or properties, other than litigation, claims, or other events,
        if any, that have been disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in
        writing.

        Taxes. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, all of Borrower's tax
        returns and reports that are or were required to be filed, have been
        filed, and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges have
        been paid in full, except those presently being or to be contested by
        Borrower in good faith in the ordinary course of business and for which
        adequate reserves have been provided.

        Lien Priority. Unless otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in
        writing, Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security
        Agreements, or permitted the filing or attachment of any Security
        Interests on or affecting any of the Collateral directly or indirectly
        securing repayment of Borrower's Loan and Note, that would be prior or
        that may in any way be superior to Lender's Security Interests and
        rights in and to such Collateral.

        Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements (if
        any), and all Related Documents are binding upon the signers thereof, as
        well as upon their successors, representatives and assigns, and are
        legally enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that, so long
as this Agreement remains in effect, Borrower will:

        Notices of Claims and Litigation. Promptly inform Lender in writing of
        (1) all material adverse changes in Borrower's financial condition, and
        (2) all existing and all threatened litigation, claims, investigations,
        administrative proceedings or similar actions affecting Borrower or any
        Guarantor which could materially affect the financial condition of
        Borrower or the financial condition of any Guarantor.

        Financial Records. Maintain its books and records in accordance with
        GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, and permit Lender to examine and
        audit Borrower's books and records at all reasonable times.

        Financial Statements. Furnish Lender with such financial statements and
        other related information at such frequencies and in such detail as
        Lender may reasonably request.

        Additional Information. Furnish such additional information and
        statements, as Lender may request from time to time.

        Insurance. Maintain fire and other risk insurance, public liability
        insurance, and such other insurance as Lender may require with respect
        to Borrower's properties and operations, in form, amounts, coverages and
        with insurance companies acceptable to Lender. Borrower, upon request of
        Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or
        certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
        stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without
        at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance
        policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in
        favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or
        default of Borrower or any other person. In connection with all policies
        covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest
        for the Loans, Borrower will provide Lender with such lender's loss
        payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.

        Insurance Reports. Furnish to Lender, upon request of Lender, reports on
        each existing insurance policy showing such information as Lender may
        reasonably request, including without limitation the following: (1) the
        name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the
        policy; (4) the properties insured; (5) the then current property values
        on the basis of which insurance has been obtained, and the manner of
        determining those values; and (6) the expiration date of the policy. In
        addition, upon request of Lender (however not more often than annually),
        Borrower will have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender
        determine, as applicable, the actual cash value or replacement cost of
        any Collateral. The cost of such appraisal shall be paid by Borrower.

        Other Agreements. Comply with all terms and conditions of all other
        agreements, whether now or hereafter existing, between Borrower and any
        other party and notify Lender immediately in writing of any default in
        connection with any other such agreements.

        Loan Proceeds. Use all Loan proceeds solely for Borrower's business
        operations, unless specifically consented to the contrary by Lender in
        writing.

        Taxes, Charges and Liens. Pay and discharge when due all of its
        indebtedness and obligations, including without limitation all
        assessments, taxes, governmental charges, levies and liens, of every
        kind and nature, imposed upon Borrower or its properties, income, or
        profits, prior to the date on which penalties would attach, and all
        lawful claims that, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of
        Borrower's properties, income, or profits.

        Performance. Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all terms,
        conditions, and provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Related
        Documents, and in all other instruments and agreements between Borrower
        and Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately in writing of any
        default in connection with any agreement.

        Operations. Maintain executive and management personnel with
        substantially the same qualifications and experience as the present
        executive and management personnel; provide written notice to Lender of
        any change in executive and management personnel; conduct its business
        affairs in a reasonable and prudent manner.

        Environmental Studies. Promptly conduct and complete, at Borrower's
        expense, all such investigations, studies, samplings and testings as may
        be requested by Lender or any governmental authority relative to any
        substance, or any waste or by-product of any substance defined as toxic
        or a hazardous substance under applicable federal, state, or local law,
        rule, regulation, order or directive, at or affecting any property or
        any facility owned, leased or used by Borrower.

        Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Comply with all laws,
        ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all
        governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower's
        properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of
        the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With
        Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law,
        ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding,
        including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender
        in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion,
        Lender's interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may
        require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
        satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

        Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time
        to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's
        other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and
        records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books, accounts,
        and records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any
        records (including without limitation computer generated records and
        computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the
        possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall
        notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all
        reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may
        request, all at Borrower's expense.

        Compliance Certificates. Unless waived in writing by Lender, provide
        Lender within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, with a
        certificate executed by Borrower's chief financial officer, or other
        officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the
        representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and
        correct as of the date of the certificate and further certifying that,
        as of the date of the certificate, no Event of Default exists under this
        Agreement.

        Environmental Compliance and Reports. Borrower shall comply in all
        respects with any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to
        exist, as a result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission
        on Borrower's part or on the part of any third party, on property owned
        and/or occupied by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may
        result to the environment, unless such environmental activity is
        pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by
        the appropriate federal, state or local governmental authorities; shall
        furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days
        after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation,
        directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or
        instrumentality concerning any intentional or unintentional action or
        omission on Borrower's part in connection with any environmental
        activity whether or not there is damage to the environment and/or other
        natural resources.

        Additional Assurances. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such
        promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements,
        assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents and other
        agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence
        and secure the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.

RECOVERY OF ADDITIONAL COSTS. If the imposition of or any change in any law,
rule, regulation or guideline, or the interpretation or application of any
thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority (including any
request or policy not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or make
applicable any taxes (except federal, state or local income or franchise taxes
imposed on Lender), reserve requirements, capital adequacy requirements or other
obligations which would (A) increase the cost to Lender for extending or
maintaining the credit facilities to which this Agreement relates, (B) reduce
the amounts payable to Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents, or
(C) reduce the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of Lender's
obligations with respect to the credit facilities to which this Agreement
relates, then Borrower agrees to pay Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate Lender therefor, within five (5) days after Lender's written demand
for such payment, which demand shall be accompanied by an explanation of such
imposition or charge and a calculation in reasonable detail of the additional
amounts payable by Borrower, which explanation and calculations shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a
part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand;
(B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable
with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:

        Indebtedness and Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal
        course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this
        Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money,
        including capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge,
        lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's
        assets (except as allowed as Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse
        any of Borrower's accounts, except to Lender.

        Continuity of Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities
        substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently
        engaged, (2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or
        consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer
        or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay
        any dividends on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable in its
        stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only
        so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
        result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a "Subchapter S
        Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
        amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its
        shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the
        shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments
        to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise
        solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation
        because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or purchase or
        retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend Borrower's
        capital structure.

        Loans, Acquisitions and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money
        or assets, (2) purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other
        enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any obligation as surety or guarantor
        other than in the ordinary course of business.

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes
incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar
proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any
Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any
Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such
Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in
good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:

        Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
        Loan.

        Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
        term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or
        in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any
        term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
        between Lender and Borrower.

        Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults
        under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
        sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
        or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's or any Grantor's
        property or Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or
        perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the
        Related Documents.

        False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
        furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this
        Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
        material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
        false or misleading at any time thereafter.

        Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
        going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a
        receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the
        benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
        of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
        Borrower.

        Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related
        Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
        any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security
        interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

        Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
        forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
        repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
        governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This
        includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit
        accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
        there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or
        reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
        forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the
        creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
        surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
        determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate
        reserve or bond for the dispute.

        Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
        respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
        dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
        liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

        Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
        (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

        Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
        condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
        the Loan is impaired.

        Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any
kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit
of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's
right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

NON-USE FEE. Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-use fee equal to .25% times the
maximum principal amount of this Note minus the daily average of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the loan. The non-use fee shall be calculated on
the basis of a year consisting of 360 days for actual days elapsed and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the 28th day of each May, August, November and
at maturity.

CONDITION SUBSEQUENT. In addition to the Events of Default set forth elsewhere
herein, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder if, within thirty days of the
date of this Agreement, Borrower shall have failed to deliver to Lender
corporate resolution(s) (i) empowering Larry D. Huffman, President and CEO, and
Ronald J. Walters, Treasurer and CFO, to execute and deliver this Agreement and
the Related Documents, and (ii) ratifying and confirming any and all actions
taken by Messrs. Huffman and Walters in furtherance of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:

        Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
        constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
        the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment
        to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
        by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
        or amendment.

        Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of
        Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's attorneys' fees and
        Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
        this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this
        Agreement, and Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of such
        enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and
        legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
        fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
        modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
        anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also shall pay
        all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the
        court.

        Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
        purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the
        provisions of this Agreement.

        Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
        sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
        interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or
        unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any

                             BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
Loan No: NEW                       (Continued)                            Page 5

        limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential
        purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower
        or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby
        waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such
        matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of
        participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of
        such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers
        of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute
        owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights
        granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the
        sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights
        of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender
        or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and
        unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce
        Borrower's obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or
        insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further
        agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may
        enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses
        that Borrower may have against Lender.

        Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed and
        enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of
        Illinois. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of
        Illinois.

        Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
        request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of COOK County,
        State of Illinois.

        No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
        rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and
        signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
        exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
        other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall
        not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to
        demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of
        this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
        between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall
        constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Borrower's or
        any Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the
        consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such
        consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
        consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in
        all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion
        of Lender.

        Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
        given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when
        actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law),
        when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
        mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class,
        certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses
        shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its
        address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice
        to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to
        change the party's address. For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep
        Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current address. Unless
        otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one
        Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be
        notice given to all Borrowers.

        Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
        of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
        circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision
        illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
        feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that
        it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
        cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
        Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
        or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
        the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
        Agreement.

        Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of
        any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
        limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower"
        as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's subsidiaries
        and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no
        circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to
        make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of Borrower's
        subsidiaries or affiliates.

        Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
        behalf of Borrower shall bind Borrower's successors and assigns and
        shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.
        Borrower shall not, however, have the right to assign Borrower's rights
        under this Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior written
        consent of Lender.

        Survival of Representations and Warranties. Borrower understands and
        agrees that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all
        representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this
        Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
        Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents.
        Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by
        Lender, all such representations, warranties and covenants will survive
        the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to Lender of the Related
        Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made and
        redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made, and shall
        remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower's
        Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall be
        terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.

        Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of
        this Agreement.

        Waive Jury. All parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any
        jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by any
        party against any other party.

Principal Amount: $1,500,000.00            Initial Rate: 4.250%                  Date of Note:  February 28, 2003
</TABLE>

PROMISE TO PAY. KANKAKEE BANCORP, INC. ("Borrower") promises to pay to LASALLE
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United
States of America, the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand &
00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with
interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest
shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on February 28, 2004. In addition, Borrower
will pay regular quarterly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of
each payment date, beginning May 28, 2003, with all subsequent interest payments
to be due on the same day of each quarter after that. Unless otherwise agreed or
required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid
interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection
costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis;
that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360
days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an index which is Lender's Prime Rate (the
"Index"). This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge, on 90-day unsecured
loans to the most creditworthy corporate customers. This rate may or may not be
the lowest rate available from Lender at any given time. Lender will tell
Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate
change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender
may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 4.250% per
annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this
Note will be at a rate equal to the Index, resulting in an initial rate of
4.250% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this
Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in
writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments
of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full",
"without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment,
Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and
Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All
written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other
payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full"
of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or
as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:
LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, MAIN OFFICE, 135 SOUTH LASALLE STREET,
CHICAGO, IL 60603.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,
increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 2.000 percentage points over
the Index. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note:

        Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this
        Note.

        Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
        term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any
        of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
        obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement
        between Lender and Borrower.

        Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults
        under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
        sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
        or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or
        Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations
        under this Note or any of the related documents.

        False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
        furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note
        or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect,
        either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or
        misleading at any time thereafter.

        Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
        going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a
        receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the
        benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
        of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
        Borrower.

        Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
        forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
        repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
        governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This
        includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit
        accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if
        there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or
        reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
        forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the
        creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
        surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
        determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate
        reserve or bond for the dispute.

        Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
        respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of
        any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or
        accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes
        the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness
        evidenced by this Note.

        Change In Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
        (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

        Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
        condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
        this Note is impaired.

        Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then
Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect
this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees
and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not
prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by

makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,

                               INTEREST RATE RIDER

Borrower:  KANKAKEE BANCORP, INC.     Lender:  LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
           310 S. Schuyler Avenue              MAIN OFFICE
           Kankakee, IL  60901                 135 SOUTH LASALLE STREET
                                               CHICAGO, IL 60603

This INTEREST RATE RIDER is attached to and by this reference is made a part of
the Promissory Note, dated February 28, 2003, and executed in connection with a
loan or other financial accommodations between LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
and KANKAKEE BANCORP, INC.

        Capitalized words used herein without definition have the respective
meanings assigned to such terms in the Note.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note, the following
provisions shall apply to the Note as of fully set forth therein. In the event
of a conflict between the Note provisions and the provisions of this Rider, the
provisions of this Rider shall prevail.

        The outstanding principal amount of the Note shall bear interest, at
Borrower's option, at the Index (as defined in the Note) or at "Adjusted LIBOR"
(as hereinafter defined). Payments of interest computed at the index shall be
payable in accordance with the Note. Prepayments of principal bearing interest
at the index may be made in accordance with the Note.

        Each portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Note which
bears interest at "Adjusted LIBOR" (hereinafter defined). "Adjusted LIBOR" means
a rate of interest equal to one and three fourths of one percent (1.75%) per
annum in excess of the per annum rate of interest at which U.S. dollar deposits
in an amount comparable to the amount of the relevant LIBOR Loan and for a
period equal to the relevant "Interest Period" (hereinafter defined) are offered
generally to Lender (rounded upward if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1.00%)
in the London Interbank Eurodollar market 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 successive
one, two or three month periods as selected from time to time by Borrower by
notice given to Lender not less than three banking days prior to the first day
of each respective Interest Period; provided that: (i) each such one, two or
three month period occurring after such initial period shall commence on the day
on which the next preceding period expires; (ii) the final Interest Period shall
be such that its expiration occurs on or before the stated maturity date of the
Note; and (iii) if for any reason Borrower shall fail to select timely a period,
then it shall be deemed to have selected the Index. Interest on each LIBOR Loan
shall be payable on the last banking day of each Interest Period with respect
thereto, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at
maturity, after maturity on demand, and on the date of any payment hereon on the
amount paid. Borrower hereby further promises to pay to the order of Lender, on
demand, interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof after maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) at the rate most recently borne by such LIBOR Loan
plus 2%.

        Lender's determination of Adjusted LIBOR as provided above shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. Furthermore, if Lender determines, in good
faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), 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
Lender 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, Lender shall
promptly notify Borrower and such LIBOR Loan shall automatically convert on the
last day of its then-current Interest Period to a loan bearing interest at the
Index.

        If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any
applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or
other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Lender or its
lending office (a "Regulatory Change"), shall, in the opinion of counsel to
Lender, makes it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan
evidenced hereby, then Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and such LIBOR Loan
shall automatically convert on the last day of its then-current Interest Period
to a loan bearing interest at the Index.

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

        If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall
(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit
or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account
of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, Lender;
(b) subject Lender or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or fee
or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal or interest
due from Borrower to Lender hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of
the overall net income of Lender); or (c) impose on Lender any other condition
regarding such LIBOR Loan or Lender's funding thereof, and Lender shall
determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that
the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or
maintaining such LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or interest
received by Lender hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, such
additional amounts as Lender shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient
to compensate and indemnify Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount.

           310 S. Schuyler Avenue              MAIN OFFICE

THIS COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated February 28, 2003, is made and executed
between KANKAKEE BANCORP, INC. ("Grantor") and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
("Lender").

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. For valuable consideration, Grantor grants to Lender
a security interest in the Collateral to secure the Indebtedness and agrees that
Lender shall have the rights stated in this Agreement with respect to the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have by law.

COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means
all of Grantor's property (however owned if more than one), in the possession
of, or subject to the control of, Lender (or in the possession of, or subject to
the control of, a third party subject to the control of Lender), whether
existing now or later and whether tangible or intangible in character, including
without limitation each and all of the following:

        100% of the common stock of KFS Bank, F.S.B. (formerly Kankakee Federal
        Savings) and any stock splits, substitutions, proceeds or dividends
        thereof

In addition, the word "Collateral" includes all of Grantor's property (however
owned), in the possession of, or subject to the control of, Lender (or in the
possession of, or subject to the control of, a third party subject to the
control of Lender), whether now or hereafter existing and whether tangible or
intangible in character, including without limitation each of the following:

        (A) All property to which Lender acquires title or documents of title.

        (B) All property assigned to Lender.

        (C) All promissory notes, bills of exchange, stock certificates, bonds,
        investment property, savings passbooks, time certificates of deposit,
        insurance policies, and all other instruments and evidences of an
        obligation.

        (D) All records relating to any of the property described in this
        Collateral section, whether in the form a of writing, microfilm,
        microfiche, or electronic media.

        (E) All Income and Proceeds from the Collateral as defined herein.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Grantor
represents and warrants to Lender that:

        Ownership. Grantor is the lawful owner of the Collateral free and clear
        of all security interests, liens, encumbrances, registered pledges,
        adverse claims, and any other claims of others except as disclosed to
        and accepted by Lender in writing prior to execution of this Agreement.

        Right to Pledge. Grantor has the full right, power and authority to
        enter into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral.

        Authority; Binding Effect. Grantor has the full right, power and
        authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant a security interest
        in the Collateral to Lender. This Agreement is binding upon Grantor as
        well as Grantor's successors and assigns, and is legally enforceable in
        accordance with its terms. The foregoing representations and warranties,
        and all other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
        are and shall be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and
        effect until such time as this Agreement is terminated or cancelled as
        provided herein.

        No Further Assignment. Grantor has not, and shall not, sell, assign,
        transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of Grantor's rights in
        the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement.

        No Defaults. There are no defaults existing under the Collateral, and
        there are no offsets or counterclaims to the same. Grantor will strictly
        and promptly perform each of the terms, conditions, covenants and
        agreements, if any, contained in the Collateral which are to be
        performed by Grantor.

        No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
        violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a
        party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws do
        not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.

        Financing Statements. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC-1
        financing statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to
        perfect Lender's security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor
        additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to
        perfect, protect, and continue Lender's security interest in the
        Property. Grantor will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and
        other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender
        is required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantor irrevocably
        appoints Lender to execute financing statements and documents of title
        in Grantor's name and to execute all documents necessary to transfer
        title if there is a default. Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as
        a financing statement. If Grantor changes Grantor's name or address, or
        the name or address of any person granting a security interest under
        this Agreement changes, Grantor will promptly notify the Lender of such
        change.

LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Lender may hold
the Collateral until all Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied. Thereafter
Lender may deliver the Collateral to Grantor or to any other owner of the
Collateral. Lender shall have the following rights in addition to all other
rights Lender may have by law:

        Maintenance and Protection of Collateral. Lender may, but shall not be
        obligated to, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable to
        protect, maintain, insure, control, receive, or manage the Collateral,
        including paying of any liens or claims against the Collateral. This may
        include such things as hiring other people, such as attorneys,
        appraisers or other experts. Lender may charge Grantor for any cost
        incurred in so doing. When applicable law provides more than one method
        of perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the
        method(s) to be used. If the Collateral consists of stock, bonds or
        other securities for which no certificate has been issued, Grantor
        agrees, at Lender's request, either to request issuance of an
        appropriate certificate or to give instructions on Lender's forms to the
        issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may
        be, to record on its books or records Lender's security interest in the
        Collateral.

Loan No: NEW                       (Continued)                            Page 2

        Income and Proceeds from the Collateral. Lender may receive all Income
        and Proceeds and add it to the Collateral. Grantor agrees to deliver to
        Lender immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and without
        commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from the
        Collateral which may be received by, paid, or delivered to Grantor or
        for Grantor's account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of, in
        substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral.

        Application of Cash. At Lender's option, Lender may apply any cash,
        whether included in the Collateral or received as Income and Proceeds or
        through liquidation, sale, retirement, split up, dividend, distribution,
        or other disposition of the Collateral, to the satisfaction of the
        Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender shall choose, whether or
        not matured.

        Transactions with Others. Lender may (1) extend time for payment or
        other performance, (2) grant a renewal or change in terms or conditions,
        or (3) compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or
        more Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender
        deems advisable, without obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor,
        and no such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against
        Grantor or the Collateral.

        All Collateral Secures Indebtedness. All Collateral shall be security
        for the Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more
        offices or branches of Lender. This will be the case whether or not the
        office or branch where Grantor obtained Grantor's loan knows about the
        Collateral or relies upon the Collateral as security.

        Collection of Collateral. Lender at Lender's option may, but need not,
        collect the Income and Proceeds directly from the Obligors. Grantor
        authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender decides to collect the
        Income and Proceeds, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and
        Proceeds from the Collateral and to accept Lender's receipt for the
        payments.

        Power of Attorney. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's
        attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (a) to demand,
        collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all Income and Proceeds
        and other sums of money and other property which may now or hereafter
        become due, owing or payable from the Obligors in accordance with the
        terms of the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all
        instruments, receipts, checks, drafts and warrants issued in payment for
        the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising
        under the Collateral, and in the place and stead of Grantor, execute and
        deliver Grantor's release and acquittance for Grantor; (d) to file any
        claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any
        proceedings, either in Lender's own name or in the name of Grantor, or
        otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or
        advisable; and (e) to execute in Grantor's name and to deliver to the
        Obligors on Grantor's behalf, at the time and in the manner specified by
        the Collateral, any necessary instruments or documents.

        Perfection of Security Interest. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will
        deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or
        constituting the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one
        method of perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose
        the method(s) to be used. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will sign and
        deliver any writings necessary to perfect Lender's security interest. If
        any of the Collateral consists of investment property for which no
        certificate has been issued, Grantor agrees, at Lender's option, either
        to request issuance of an appropriate certificate or to execute
        appropriate instructions on Lender's forms instructing the issuer,
        transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be, to
        record on its books or records, by book-entry, initial transaction
        statement, registered pledge, or otherwise, Lender's security interest
        in the Collateral. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's
        irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents
        necessary to perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest
        granted in this Agreement or to demand termination of filings of other
        secured parties. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will
        continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is
        paid in full and even though for a period of time Grantor may not be
        indebted to Lender.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part
of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B)
be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with
any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.

LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care
in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's
possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its
value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no
responsibility for (A) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the
collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (B)
preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third
persons, (C) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers,
tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (D) informing
Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no
liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.

REINSTATEMENT OF SECURITY INTEREST. If payment is made by Grantor, whether
voluntarily or otherwise, or by guarantor or by any third party, on the
Indebtedness and thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment
(A) to Grantor's trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any
federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, (B) by reason
of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over Lender or any of Lender's property, or (C) by reason of any
settlement or compromise of any claim made by Lender with any claimant
(including without limitation Grantor), the Indebtedness shall be considered
unpaid for the purpose of enforcement of this Agreement and this Agreement shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any cancellation of this Agreement or of any note or other
instrument or agreement evidencing the Indebtedness and the Collateral will
continue to secure the amount repaid or recovered to the same extent as if that
amount never had been originally received by Lender, and Grantor shall be bound
by any judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise relating to the
Indebtedness or to this Agreement.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:

        Payment Default. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the
        Indebtedness.

        Other Defaults. Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other
        term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or
        in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any
        term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other

<PAGE>

                           COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT
Loan No: NEW                       (Continued)                            Page 3

        agreement between Lender and Grantor.

        Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Grantor or any Grantor default
        under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
        sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
        or person that may materially affect any of Grantor's property or
        Grantor's or any Grantor's ability to repay the Indebtedness or perform
        their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related
        Documents.

        False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
        furnished to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this
        Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any
        material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
        false or misleading at any time thereafter.

        Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related
        Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of
        any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security
        interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

        Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a
        going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver
        for any part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of
        creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
        proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
        Grantor.

        Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
        forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
        repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any
        governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness.
        This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's accounts, including
        deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not
        apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or
        reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
        forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the
        creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
        surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount
        determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate
        reserve or bond for the dispute.

        Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
        respect to guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of
        the Indebtedness or guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party
        dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
        liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

        Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
        condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of
        the Indebtedness is impaired.

        Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

        Failure to Register. Failure of the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund
        company, or broker, as the case may be, to furnish a written statement
        to Lender recording Lender's security interest to the security, or the
        identification of any adverse claim that may interfere with Lender's
        security interest in the Collateral.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies:

        Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any
        prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately
        due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.

        Collect the Collateral. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's
        option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession
        of the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.

        Sell the Collateral. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a
        unit or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the
        Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is
        of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or
        mail to Grantor, and other persons as required by law, notice at least
        ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of
        the time after which any private sale may be made. However, no notice
        need be provided to any person who, after an Event of Default occurs,
        enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right
        to notification of sale. Grantor agrees that any requirement of
        reasonable notice as to Grantor is satisfied if Lender mails notice by
        ordinary mail addressed to Grantor at the last address Grantor has given
        Lender in writing. If a public sale is held, there shall be sufficient
        compliance with all requirements of notice to the public by a single
        publication in any newspaper of general circulation in the county where
        the Lender is located, setting forth the time and place of sale and a
        brief description of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser
        at any public sale.

        Sell Securities. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a
        manner consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws. If,
        because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is unable, or believes
        Lender is unable, to sell the securities in an open market transaction,
        Grantor agrees that Lender will have no obligation to delay sale until
        the securities can be registered. Then Lender may make a private sale to
        one or more persons or to a restricted group of persons, even though
        such sale may result in a price that is less favorable than might be
        obtained in an open market transaction. Such a sale will be considered
        commercially reasonable. If any securities held as Collateral are
        "restricted securities" as defined in the Rules of the Securities and
        Exchange Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or the rules of
        state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Grantor
        or any other owner of the Collateral is an affiliate of the issuer of
        the securities, Grantor agrees that neither Grantor, nor any member of
        Grantor's family, nor any other person signing this Agreement will sell
        or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's
        prior written consent.

        Rights and Remedies with Respect to Investment Property, Financial
        Assets and Related Collateral. In addition to other rights and remedies
        granted under this Agreement and under applicable law, Lender may
        exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: (1) register
        with any issuer or broker or other securities intermediary any of the
        Collateral consisting of investment property or financial assets
        (collectively herein, "investment property") in Lender's sole name or in
        the name of Lender's broker, agent or nominee; (2) cause any issuer,
        broker or other securities intermediary to deliver to Lender any of the
        Collateral consisting of securities, or investment property capable of
        being delivered; (3) enter into a control agreement or power of attorney
        with any issuer or securities intermediary with respect to any
        Collateral consisting of investment property, on such terms as Lender
        may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, including without
        limitation, an agreement granting to Lender any of the rights provided
        hereunder without further notice to or consent by Grantor; (4) execute
        any such control agreement on Grantor's behalf and in Grantor's name,
        and hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact,
        coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing such control
        agreement on Grantor's behalf; (5) exercise any and all rights of Lender
        under any such control agreement or power of attorney; (6) exercise any

        shall be authorized to instruct the issuer, broker or other securities
        intermediary to take or to refrain from taking such actions with respect
        to the investment property as Lender may instruct, without further
        notice to or consent by Grantor. Such actions may include without
        limitation the issuance of entitlement orders, account instructions,
        general trading or buy or sell orders, transfer and redemption orders,
        and stop loss orders. Lender shall be further entitled to instruct the
        issuer, broker or securities intermediary to sell or to liquidate any
        investment property, or to pay the cash surrender or account termination
        value with respect to any and all investment property, and to deliver
        all such payments and liquidation proceeds to Lender. Any such control
        agreement shall contain such authorizations as are necessary to place
        Lender in "control" of such investment collateral, as contemplated under
        the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall fully authorize
        Lender to issue "entitlement orders" concerning the transfer,
        redemption, liquidation or disposition of investment collateral, in
        conformance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

        Foreclosure. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the
        Collateral.

        Transfer Title. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the
        Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as
        Grantor's attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and
        instruments in the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one)
        as shall be necessary or reasonable.

        Other Rights and Remedies. Have and exercise any or all of the rights
        and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform
        Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.

        Application of Proceeds. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral,
        or which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to
        reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of
        securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorneys'
        fees and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and including
        any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection
        and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the Indebtedness of
        Grantor to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to Grantor as the
        interests of Grantor may appear. Grantor agrees, to the extent permitted
        by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the
        Collateral to the Indebtedness.

        Election of Remedies. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
        of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement,
        the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and
        may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to
        pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an
        election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
        of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform,
        shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its
        remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:

        Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
        constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to
        the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment
        to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed
        by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration
        or amendment.

        Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. Grantor agrees to pay upon demand all of
        Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's attorneys' fees and
        Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of
        this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this
        Agreement, and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such
        enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and
        legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
        fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to
        modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
        anticipated post-judgment collection services. Grantor also shall pay
        all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the
        court.

        Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
        purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the
        provisions of this Agreement.

        Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed and
        enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of
        Illinois. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of
        Illinois.

        Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Grantor agrees upon Lender's
        request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of COOK County,
        State of Illinois.

        No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
        rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and
        signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
        exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
        other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall
        not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to
        demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of
        this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
        between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's
        rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions.
        Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the
        granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute
        continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
        required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
        sole discretion of Lender.

        Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
        given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when
        actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law),
        when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if
        mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class,
        certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses
        shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its
        address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice
        to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to
        change the party's address. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep
        Lender informed at all times of Grantor's current address. Unless
        otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one
        Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be
        notice given to all Grantors.

        Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
        of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
        circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision
        illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
        feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that
        it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
        cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
        Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
        or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
        the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
        Agreement.

        Successors and Assigns. Subject to any limitations stated in this
        Agreement on transfer of Grantor's interest, this Agreement shall be
        binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors
        and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person
        other than Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal with
        Grantor's successors with reference to this Agreement and the
        Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing
        Grantor from the obligations of this Agreement or liability under the
        Indebtedness.
