and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection  with
the  execution,  delivery  and/or  recording  of this  Agreement,  and (iii) all
reasonable  fees and  out-of-pocket  expenses  (including,  but not  limited to,
reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by MLBFS in connection
with the  enforcement  of this  Agreement  or the  protection  of MLBFS'  rights
hereunder,  excluding,  however,  salaries and expenses of MLBFS' employees. The
obligations  of Grantor under this  paragraph  shall  survive the  expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the other Obligations.

which it has  covenanted  to do under this  Agreement or any  representation  or
warranty on the part of Grantor  contained in this Agreement  shall be breached,
MLBFS may, in its sole discretion,  after 5 Business Days written notice is sent
to Grantor (or such lesser notice,  including no notice,  as is reasonable under
the circumstances), do the same a cause it to be done or remedy any such breach,
and may expend its funds for such  purpose.  Any and all  reasonable  amounts so
expended by MLBFS  shall be  repayable  to MLBFS by Grantor  upon  demand,  with
interest at the highest "Interest Rate" under the Loan Agreement or any document
incorporated into in the Loan Agreement,  or the highest interest rate permitted
by law,  whichever is less,  during the period from and including the date funds
are so expended by MLBFS to the date of

repayment,  and any  such  amounts  due and  owing  MLBFS  shall  be  additional
Obligations. The payment or performance by MLBFS of any of Grantor's obligations
hereunder shall not relieve Grantor of said  obligations or of the  consequences
of having  faded to pay or perform the same,  and shall not waive or be deemed a
cure of any Default.

(e) Further Assurances. Grantor agrees to do such further acts and things and to
execute  and  deliver  to MLBFS  such  additional  agreements,  instruments  and
documents as MLBFS may  reasonably  require or deem  advisable to effectuate the
purposes  of this  Agreement,  or to  establish,  perfect  and  maintain  MLBFS'
security interests and liens upon the Collateral,  including, but not limited to
(i) executing financing  statements or amendments thereto when and as reasonably
requested  by  MLBFS,  and  (ii) if in the  reasonable  judgment  of MLBFS it is
required by local law, causing the owners and/or mortgagees of the real property
on which any Collateral may be located to execute and deliver to MLBFS waivers a
subordinations  reasonably  satisfactory  to MLBFS with respect to any rights in
such Collateral.

successors  and  assigns,  and  shall  inure to the  benefit  of  MLBFS  and its
successors and assigns.

inserted   only  as  a  matter  of   convenience,   and  shall  not  affect  the

Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable  law.  Any  provision  of  this  Agreement  which  is  prohibited  or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective

the  remaining  provisions  of this  Agreement  or  affecting  the  validity  or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction

SOLE DISCRETION, TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT IN EITHER THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN
ANY OTHER  JURISDICTION  WHERE GRANTOR OR ANY COLLATERAL FOR THE OBLIGATIONS MAY
