REPRESENTATIVE").

                                    RECITALS

      A.  The Indemnified Representative is willing to serve in one or more

the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee, agent,
fiduciary, or trustee of, or in a similar capacity for, another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity,

                                     -1-

          (b)  Except as provided in Section 3 and 5 hereof, the Corporation
      shall indemnify the Indemnified Representative against any Liability (as
      hereinafter defined) incurred by or assessed against the Indemnified
      Representative in connection with any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined)
      in which the Indemnified Representative may be involved, as a party or
      otherwise, by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Representative is or
      was serving in any Official Capacity held now or in the future, provided
      the Indemnified Representative meets the applicable standards of conduct
      under the DGCL and/or any Subsidiary Law. As used in this Agreement:

                (i)   "LIABILITY" means any liability, damage, judgment, amount
            paid in settlement, taxes, fine, penalty, punitive damage, or
            expense of any nature (including attorneys' fees and expenses);

                (ii)  "PROCEEDING" means any threatened, pending, or completed,
            investigation, action, suit, appeal, arbitration, or other
            proceeding of any nature, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
            or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether brought by
            or in the right of the Corporation, a class of its security holders,
            or any other party; and

                (iii) "OFFICIAL CAPACITY" means service to the Corporation or
            any subsidiary thereof as a director or officer or, at the request
            of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee, agent,
            fiduciary, or trustee of, or in a similar capacity for, another
            corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
            plan (including a plan qualified under the Employee Retirement
            Income Security Act of 1974), or other entity.

          (c)  Notwithstanding Section 2(a) and (b) hereof, the Corporation
      shall not indemnify the Indemnified Representative under this Agreement
      for any Liability incurred in a Proceeding initiated by the Indemnified
      Representative unless the Proceeding is authorized, either before or after
      commencement of the Proceeding, by the majority vote of a quorum of the
      Board of Directors of the corporation. An affirmative defense or
      counterclaim of an Indemnified Representative shall not be deemed to
      constitute a Proceeding initiated by the Indemnified Representative.

      3.  EXCLUSIONS.

          (a)  The Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to
      make any payment in connection with any Liability incurred by the
      Indemnified Representative as follows:

                (i)   payment may be deferred to the extent payment for such
            Liability is to be made to the Indemnified Representative under an
            insurance policy obtained by the Corporation and the Indemnified
            Representative is under no obligation to repay;

                (ii)  to the extent payment is made to the Indemnified
            Representative for such Liability by the Corporation under its
            Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws, the DGCL, any other
            agreement between the Corporation on one hand and


                                      -2-
<Page>

            the Indemnified Representative, Wynnchurch Capital Partners,
            L.P. or Wynnchurch Capital Partners Canada, L.P., on the other,
            or otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement;

                (iii) for any claim by or on behalf of the Corporation for
            recovery of profits resulting from the purchase and sale or sale and
            purchase by such Indemnified Representative of equity securities of
            the Corporation pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
            Act of 1934, as amended;

                (iv)  to the extent such indemnification has been
            determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
            non-appealable judgment to be unlawful; or

          (b)  Any act, omission, liability, knowledge, or other fact of or
      relating to any other person, including any other person who is also an
      Indemnified Representative, shall not be imputed to the Indemnified
      Representative for the purposes of determining the applicability of any
      exclusion set forth herein.

          (c)  The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
      conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent shall not,
      of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Representative is not
      entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

      4.  ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay any Liability in
the nature of an expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
good faith by the Indemnified Representative in advance of the final
disposition of a Proceeding within twenty (20) days of receipt of a demand
for payment by the Indemnified Representative; provided, however, that the
Indemnified Representative shall have agreed in writing to promptly repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnified
Representative is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation pursuant
to this Agreement. The financial ability of the Indemnified Representative to
repay an advance shall not be a prerequisite to the making to such advance.

      5.  INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

          (a)  The Indemnified Representative shall use reasonable efforts to
      promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation of the commencement of
      any Proceeding or the occurrence of any event which might give rise to a
      Liability under this Agreement, but the failure to so notify the
      Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any obligation which it
      may have to the Indemnified Representative under this Agreement or
      otherwise. It shall be presumed at all times that the Indemnified
      Representative is entitled to indemnification and advancement of expenses
      under this Agreement.

          (b)  Except in an action or counterclaim by Indemnified
      Representative to recover amounts owed under this Agreement or pursuant
      to the DGCL, or any Subsidiary Law, of the Corporation's bylaws, , the
      Corporation shall have the right to assume the Indemnified
      Representative's defense of any Proceeding through counsel selected by
      the Corporation reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Representative.
      Indemnified Representative Parties shall have the right to employ
      separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense
      thereof, but the fees


                                       3
<Page>

      and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Indemnified
      Representative, unless (i) the Corporation shall have failed
      promptly to assume the defense thereof and employ counsel as
      provided above or (ii) the named parties to any such Proceeding
      (including impleaded parties) include Indemnified Representative and
      the Corporation, and Indemnified Representative shall have been
      advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
      available to it which would be materially adverse to the defense of
      the Corporation.

          (c)  The Corporation will not, without the prior written consent of
      the Indemnified Representative, settle, compromise or consent to the
      entry of any judgement in any pending or threatened Proceeding in
      respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
      hereunder (whether or not an Indemnified Representative is an actual
      or potential party to such Proceeding) unless such settlement,
      compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
      Indemnified Representative hereunder from all liability arising out
      of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The Corporation shall not
      be liable for any amount paid by an Indemnified Representative in
      settlement of any Proceeding that is not defended by the
      Corporation, unless the Corporation has consented to such
      settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (d)  Upon a payment under this Agreement to the Indemnified
      Representative with respect to any Liability, the Corporation shall
      be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
      the Indemnified Representative to recover against any person with
      respect to such Liability, and the Indemnified Representative shall
      execute all documents and instruments required and shall take such
      other actions as may be necessary to secure such rights including
      the execution of such documents as may be necessary for the
      Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

      6.  CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement
is unavailable for any reason to hold harmless an Indemnified Representative
in respect of any Liability or portion thereof, the Corporation shall
contribute to such Liability or portion thereof in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation and
the Indemnified Representative from the transaction giving rise to the
Liability.

      7.  NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the rights granted to
the Indemnified Representative pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Representative may be
entitled under statute, the provisions of any certificate of incorporation,
by-laws, or agreement, a vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in an Official Capacity and in any other capacity.

      8.  RELIANCE ON PROVISIONS.  The Indemnified Representative shall be
deemed to be acting in any Official Capacity in reliance upon the rights of
indemnification provided by this Agreement and the indemnification provisions
of the Corporation's charter and/or by-laws, if any, as the case may be.

      9.  SEVERABILITY AND REFORMATION. Any provision of this Agreement which
is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any
circumstances shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability and shall be deemed reformed


                                      -4-
<Page>


to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable law of such jurisdiction
and still give maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto. Any such
determination shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining
provisions hereof and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction or under any other circumstances.

      10. NOTICES. Any notice, claim, request, or demand required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if
delivered personally or sent by telegram or by registered or certified mail,
first class, postage prepaid: (i) if to the Corporation to Alternative
Resources Corporation, 600 Hart Road, Suite 300, Barrington, Illinois 60010,
Attention: Chief Executive, or (ii) if to any Indemnified Representative, to
the address of such Indemnified Representative listed on the signature page
hereof, or to such other address as any party hereto shall have specified in
a notice duly given in accordance with this Section 10.

      11. AMENDMENTS: BINDING EFFECT. No amendment, modification,
termination, or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective as to the
Indemnified Representative unless signed in writing by the Corporation and
the Indemnified Representative. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the Indemnified Representative's heirs, executors, administrators, and
personal representatives.

      12. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the
conflict of laws provisions thereof.
