                                    RECITALS

            A. Each Borrower is the owner in fee simple of that certain real
property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively called the
"Properties") and together with all rights and appurtenances thereto and all
improvements presently located or hereafter constructed thereon are hereinafter
collectively called the "Project").

            B. Concurrently herewith, Lender is making a loan to Borrower in the
principal sum of Thirty-Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($32,000,000.00) (the
"Loan").

            C. To evidence the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered to
Lender a Promissory Note A of even date herewith in the face amount of
Twenty-Five Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,600,000.00) and
a Subordinated Promissory Note B of even date herewith in the face amount of Six
Million Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,400,000.00) (said notes and
any and all renewals, amendments, modifications, increases and extensions
thereof are hereinafter collectively
<PAGE>   2
called the "Note") and a Loan Agreement of even date herewith (as amended from
time to time, the "Loan Agreement").

            D. Concurrently herewith, each Borrower has granted to Lender a
first mortgage or deed of trust (as amended from time to time, the "Mortgages")
encumbering its Property. The Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages, and any
other documents evidencing or securing the Loan or executed in connection
therewith, and any modification, renewal or extension of any of the foregoing
are collectively called the "Loan Documents".

            E. BCC owns, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of
all issued and outstanding capital stock of each Borrower.

            F. Lender, as a condition to making the Loan, has requested that
Borrower and BCC enter into this Agreement to indemnify Lender against
liabilities arising from Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) used or
located on, or affecting the Project or any part thereof, and that Borrower and
BCC acknowledge and agree that their execution and delivery of this Agreement
and their performance of the covenants contained herein are material inducements
for Lender's agreement to make the Loan.

                                   AGREEMENTS

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Borrower and BCC hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree as
follows:

            1. No Hazardous Materials on Project. Borrower and BCC represent and
warrant to the best of their knowledge, and covenant that there are no, nor will
there be, for as long as any indebtedness or obligations remain outstanding
under the Loan, any Hazardous Materials generated, released, stored, buried or
deposited over, beneath, in or upon the Project or any part thereof or on or
beneath the surface of adjacent property, except as such Hazardous Materials may
be generated, used, stored or transported in connection with the permitted uses
of the Project or any part thereof and then only to the extent permitted by law
after obtaining all necessary permits and licenses therefor. "Hazardous
Materials" shall mean and include any pollutants, flammables, explosives,
petroleum (including crude oil) or any fraction thereof, radioactive materials,
hazardous wastes, dangerous or toxic substances or related materials, including
substances defined as or included in the definition of toxic or hazardous
substances, wastes or materials under any federal, state or local laws,
ordinances, regulations or guidances which relate
<PAGE>   3
to pollution, the environment or the protection of public health and safety, or
limiting, prohibiting or otherwise regulating the presence, sale, recycling,
generation, manufacture, use, transportation, disposal, release, storage,
treatment of, or response or exposure to, toxic or hazardous substances, wastes
or materials. Such laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect,
and as the same may be amended from time to time, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Hazardous Materials Laws."

            2. Compliance with Laws. For as long as any indebtedness or
obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Documents, Borrower and BCC shall,
and shall cause their respective employees, agents, tenants, contractors and
subcontractors and any other persons from time to time present on or occupying
the Project or any part thereof to, keep and maintain the Project in compliance
with, and not cause or knowingly permit the Project or any part thereof to be in
violation of, any applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. None of Borrower, BCC or
any of their respective employees, agents, tenants, contractors or
subcontractors or any other persons occupying or present on the Project or any
part thereof shall generate, use, store, manufacture or dispose of on, under or
about any part of the Project or transport to or from the Project or any part
thereof any Hazardous Materials, except such Hazardous Materials as may be
generated, used, stored or transported in connection with the permitted uses of
the Project or any part thereof and then only to the extent permitted by law
after obtaining all necessary permits and licenses therefor.

            3. Hazardous Materials Claims. Borrower and BCC shall immediately
advise Lender in writing of: (a) any notices received by Borrower or BCC or
their Affiliates (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (whether such notices are
from the Environmental Protection Agency, or any other federal, state or local
governmental agency or regional office thereof) of the violation or potential
violation of any applicable Hazardous Materials Laws occurring on, under or
about the Project or any part thereof; (b) any and all enforcement, cleanup,
removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or
threatened against Borrower, BCC or the Project or any part thereof pursuant to
any Hazardous Materials Laws; (c) all claims made or threatened by any third
party against Borrower, BCC or the Project or any part thereof relating to
damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from
any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above
are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (d) the
discovery by Borrower or BCC or their Affiliates of any occurrence or condition
on the Project or any part thereof or any
<PAGE>   4
real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Project or any part thereof
that could cause the Project or any part thereof or any part thereof to be
subject to any Hazardous Materials Claims. Lender shall have the right but not
the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal
proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials
Claims and Borrower and BCC shall pay to Lender, upon demand, all attorneys' and
consultants' fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith.

            4. Other Hazardous Materials Laws. Borrower and BCC hereby
represent, warrant and certify to the best of their knowledge, based on due
inquiry, that (a) there are no underground storage tanks located on, under or
about the Project or any part thereof that are subject to the notification
requirements under Section 9002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as now or
hereafter amended (42 U.S.C. Section 6991); and (b) there is no facility located
on the Project or any part thereof that is subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 312 of the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act
of 1986 and the Federal regulations promulgated thereunder (42 U.S.C. Section
11022).

            5. Inspection and Testing. Lender may require Borrower and BCC, at
their sole cost and expense, from time to time (but not more than once each
calendar year for each Property, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the
Loan Agreement) is then continuing) to perform or cause to be performed, such
studies or assessments of the Project or any part thereof, as Lender may
reasonably deem necessary, appropriate or desirable, to determine the status of
environmental conditions on, under and about the Project or any part thereof,
which studies and assessments shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall be
prepared in accordance with the specifications established by Lender.

            6. Removal of Hazardous Materials. Borrower and BCC, at their sole
cost and expense, shall, with due care, in a safe manner and in accordance with
all Hazardous Materials Laws, detain the spread of, ameliorate and remove from
the Project and every part thereof (and from any other property as required by
any Hazardous Materials Laws) any Hazardous Materials contamination located on,
under or about any such property in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws and
monitor or cause to be monitored the levels of such Hazardous Materials on,
under or about any such property or in the ground water in accordance with the
terms and procedures required by any federal, state or local governmental agency
having jurisdiction including, without limitation, any Regional Water Quality
Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency.
<PAGE>   5
            7. Indemnification. Borrower and BCC shall jointly and severally
indemnify, defend and save harmless Lender and its officers, directors,
shareholders, agents, attorneys, representatives and employees, their successors
and assigns (individually and collectively "Indemnitee"), from and against any
and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, lawsuits
and liabilities, at law or in equity, of every kind or nature whatsoever,
directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the generation, use,
storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of
Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Project or any part thereof (whether
occurring prior to or during or after the term of the Loan or otherwise and,
except as provided below, regardless of by whom caused, whether by Borrower, BCC
or any predecessor in title or any owner of land adjacent to any part of the
Project or any other third party, or any employee, agent, tenant, contractor or
subcontractor of Borrower, BCC or any predecessor in title or any such adjacent
land owner or any third person) including, without limitation:

            (a) Claims of third parties (including governmental agencies) for
injury to or death of any person or for damage to or destruction of any
property;

            (b) Claims for response costs, clean-up costs, costs and expenses of
removal and restoration, including fees of attorneys and experts, and costs of
determining the existence of Hazardous Materials and reporting same to any
governmental agency;

            (c) Any and all other claims for expenses or obligations, including
attorneys' fees, costs, and other expenses related to Hazardous Materials on,
under or about any part of the Project;

            (d) Any and all penalties threatened, sought or imposed on account
of a violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws;

            (e) All reasonable fees of any consultants, attorneys, and
engineering firms retained in connection with monitoring the obligations of
Borrower and BCC under this Agreement and the Loan Documents; and

            (f) Any loss occasioned by diminution in the value of any of the
Properties which may result from any of the foregoing;

provided, however, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder
for any claim arising from any Indemnitee's gross negligence or intentional
misconduct.
<PAGE>   6
            8. Defense or Settlement of Claims.

            (a) To assert an indemnity claim under this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall notify Borrower and BCC in writing as soon as reasonably practical under
the circumstances stating the facts which entitle Indemnitee to make a claim for
indemnification.

            (b) Borrower and BCC shall, at their own cost, expense and risk:

            (i) defend all suits, actions, or other legal or administrative
      proceedings that may be threatened, brought or instituted against an
      Indemnitee on account of any matter or matters described in Section 7
      above;

            (ii) pay or satisfy any judgment, decree or settlement that may be
      rendered against or agreed to by an Indemnitee in any such suit, action or
      other legal or administrative proceeding;

            (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for any and all reasonable expenses,
      including, without limitation, all legal expenses incurred in connection
      with any of the matters described in Section 7 above or in connection with
      enforcing this Agreement; and

            (iv) reimburse Indemnitee for any loss occasioned by the diminution
      in the value of any of the Properties caused by the presence of Hazardous
      Materials or the breach of any representation, warranty or obligation of
      Borrower or BCC.

            (c) Any law firm selected by Borrower or BCC to defend an
indemnified claim shall be subject to the approval of Indemnitee which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice, Indemnitee may elect to defend, using a law firm
selected by such Indemnitee, any such claim, loss, action, legal or
administrative proceeding at the cost and expense of Borrower and BCC, if, in
the reasonable judgment of Indemnitee: (i) the defense is not proceeding or
being conducted in a satisfactory manner or (ii) there is a conflict of interest
between any of the parties to such lawsuit, action, legal or administrative
proceeding.

            (d) If Indemnitee exercises its right to designate counsel pursuant
to the preceding clause, all costs and expenses thereof shall be paid by
Borrower and BCC within ten (10) days following written demand by such
Indemnitee.
<PAGE>   7
            (e) In the event Borrower or BCC shall pay to Indemnitee any claim
under this Agreement, then Borrower or BCC (as applicable) shall be subrogated
to any rights of such Indemnitee relating thereto, and such Indemnitee will
cooperate with Borrower and BCC, at the cost and expense of Borrower and BCC, in
enforcing such rights; provided, that such subrogation shall not be in
derogation of any rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, and shall not
be construed to limit the obligations of Borrower or BCC hereunder.

            9. Binding Effect. All the covenants and agreements of each Borrower
or BCC contained in this Agreement shall apply to and bind their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of each Indemnitee and its successors and assigns.

            10. Indemnification Separate from the Loan.

            (a) Borrower and BCC agree that this Agreement is separate,
independent of and in addition to the undertakings of Borrower and BCC pursuant
to the Loan, the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A
separate action may be brought to enforce the provisions hereof, which shall in
no way be deemed to be an action on the Note, whether or not the Loan has been
repaid and whether or not Lender would be entitled to a deficiency judgment
following a judicial foreclosure, trustee's sale or UCC sale. The obligations of
Borrower and BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any exculpatory provisions,
if any, contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. This Agreement, and all rights and obligations hereunder, shall
survive performance and repayment of the obligations evidenced by and arising
under the Loan Documents, surrender of the Note, reconveyance of the Mortgages,
release of other security provided in connection with the Loan, trustee's sale
or foreclosure under the Mortgages and/or any of the other Loan Documents
(whether by deed or other assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise,
acquisition of any or all of the Properties by Lender, any other transfer of any
or all of the Properties, and transfer of all of Lender's rights in the Loan,
the Loan Documents, and any or all of the Properties.

            (b) Borrower and BCC waive all rights to require Lender to (i)
proceed against or exhaust any security for the Loan or (ii) pursue any remedy
in Lender's power whatsoever. Borrower waives all defenses by reason of any
disability or other defense under the Loan or by reason of the cessation from
any cause whatsoever of its liability under the Loan, or that it may acquire by
reason of Lender's election of any remedy against it
<PAGE>   8
including, without limitation, Lender's exercise of its rights to foreclose
under any or all of the Mortgages.

            11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.

            12. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived
or terminated, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

            13. Parties in Interest. Except as expressly set forth herein,
nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other
than the parties to it and their respective successors and assigns, nor is
anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or
liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any
provision give any third persons any right of subrogation or action over or
against any party to this Agreement.

            14. Personal Liability. Borrower and BCC hereby acknowledge and
agree that notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Note, the
Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be to the contrary, the
obligations of Borrower and BCC under this Agreement shall be the unlimited
personal obligations of Borrower and BCC.

            15. Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of each of the
undersigned hereunder shall be joint and several.

            16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts.

            17. Consent To Jurisdiction. BORROWER AND BCC HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF COOK,
STATE OF ILLINOIS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER'S ELECTION, ALL
ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. BORROWER AND BCC EXPRESSLY
SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY
DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. BORROWER AND BCC HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE
UPON BORROWER AND BCC BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
ADDRESSED TO BORROWER AND BCC, AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND
SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED.
<PAGE>   9
            18. Jury Trial Waiver. BORROWER AND BCC, AND LENDER BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER
OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THIS
WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER, BCC AND
LENDER, AND BORROWER AND BCC ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY PERSON
ACTING ON BEHALF OF LENDER HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTIONS WHICH IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR
NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER, BCC AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT BORROWER BCC AND
LENDER HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE
DEALINGS. BORROWER, BCC AND LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF
THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

            Borrower and BCC have executed this Agreement or have caused the
same to be executed as of the date first set forth above.

            (n) any change in the ownership of Borrower or any change in the
      relationship between Borrower and Guarantor, or any termination of any

its  liability  under  this  Guaranty  based upon any of the  foregoing  acts,
omissions,  agreements,  waivers  or  matters,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
whether or not Guarantor had notice or knowledge of same. It is the purpose and
intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

            2.4 Rights of Lender. Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to
or demand of Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor
hereunder, to take any of the following actions from time to time: (a) increase
or decrease the amount of, or renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the
time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Obligations, or otherwise
modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement
evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any of the Obligations, including,
without limitation, the making of additional advances thereunder; (b) accept and
apply any payments on or recoveries against the Obligations from any source, and
any proceeds of any security therefor, to the Obligations in such manner, order
and priority as Lender may elect in its sole discretion; (c) take, hold, sell,
release or otherwise dispose of all or any security for the Obligations or the
payment of this Guaranty; (d) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise
liquidate the Obligations or any portion thereof; (e) accept, hold, substitute,

Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of Lender or any
affiliates thereof, whether for deposit or otherwise.

            2.5 Subordination. All indebtedness now or hereafter owing by
Borrower to Guarantor, or any one of them, for borrowed money or otherwise is
hereby subordinated to the payment of the Obligations, and, subsequent to a
default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents which default
continues uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Guarantor shall
not accept payment of all or any portion of such subordinated indebtedness until
satisfaction in full of the Obligations or, if Lender does not accelerate the
Obligations following an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement),
until all such defaults have been cured and such cure has been accepted by
Lender. All security interests, liens and encumbrances which Guarantor, or any
one of them, now or hereafter may have upon any of the assets of Borrower, or
any one of them, are hereby subordinated to all security interests, liens and
encumbrances heretofore, now or hereafter granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan
Documents.

3.    GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS

            3.1 Statutes of Limitation. Guarantor irrevocably waives all
statutes of limitation as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against
Guarantor by Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

            3.2 Election of Remedies. Guarantor irrevocably waives any defense
based upon an election of remedies made by Lender or any other election afforded
to Lender pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, (a) any
election to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or by Uniform
Commercial Code sale or by deed or assignment in lieu thereof, or any election
of remedies which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of the
Guarantor or the rights of the Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for
reimbursement, or both, (b) the waiver by Lender, either by action or inaction
of Lender or by operation of law, of a deficiency judgment against Borrower, and
(c) any election pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding.

            3.3 Rights of Subrogation and Other Rights. Guarantor irrevocably
waives (a) all rights at law or in equity to seek subrogation, contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement or repayment from Borrower or
any other person or entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for
any of the Obligations for any disbursements made by any Guarantor under or in
connection with this Guaranty, (b) all claims of any kind or type against
Borrower as a result of any payment made by Guarantor to Lender, and (c) any
right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender. In
furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees that any
payment to Lender pursuant to this Guaranty shall be deemed a contribution to
the capital of Borrower or other obligated party and shall not constitute
Guarantor a creditor of Borrower or such other party. Guarantor further agrees
that to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation as set forth herein
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any
reason, any rights of subrogation Guarantor may have against Borrower or against
any collateral or security for any of the Obligations shall be junior and
subordinate to any rights Lender may have against Borrower and to all right,
title and interest Lender may have in such collateral or security.

            3.4 Demands and Notices. Guarantor irrevocably waives all
presentments, demands for performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation
or incurring of new or

                                      -6-

additional Obligations, notices of defaults by Borrower or any other person
liable for the Obligations and demands and notices of every kind that may be
required to be given by any statute or rule or law.

            3.5 Borrower Information. Guarantor irrevocably waives (a) any duty
of Lender to advise Guarantor of any information known to Lender regarding the
financial condition of Borrower (it being the obligation of Guarantor to keep
informed regarding such condition), and (b) any defense based on any claim that
Guarantor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower.

            3.6 Limitation of Liability. Guarantor irrevocably waives any
impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of, or
stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, Borrower or Guarantor,
their property, or their estate in bankruptcy, resulting from the operation of
any provision of the state or federal bankruptcy laws, or from the decision of
any court.

            3.7 Lack of Diligence. Guarantor irrevocably waives any and all
claims or defenses based upon lack of diligence in: (a) collection of any
Obligations; (b) protection of any collateral or other security for the
Indebtedness or Obligations; or (c) realization upon the other Loan Documents.

            3.8 Other Defenses. Guarantor irrevocably waives any other defenses,
set-offs or counterclaims which may be available to Borrower or any other
Guarantor if there are more than one, and any and all other defenses now or at
any time hereafter available to Guarantor (including without limitation those
given to sureties) at law or in equity.

existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation

            4.2 Financial Statements. All financial statements and other
financial information furnished or to be furnished to Lender (a) are or will be
true and correct and do or will fairly represent the financial condition of
Guarantor (including all contingent liabilities), and (b) were or will be

            4.3 No Defaults. There is no existing event of default, and no event
has occurred which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice or both
will constitute an event of default, under any agreement to which Guarantor is a
party, the effect of which event of default will materially impair performance
by Guarantor of the Obligations pursuant to and as contemplated by the terms of
this Guaranty, and neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty nor
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate any presently
existing provision of law or any presently existing regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, or constitute a default under, any agreement
to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound.

            4.4 No Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings
pending or to Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against the Guarantor before any
court or any governmental, administrative, regulatory, adjudicatory or
arbitrational body or agency of any kind that will materially adversely affect
performance by the Guarantor of Guarantor's obligations pursuant to and as
contemplated by the terms and provisions of this Guaranty.

            4.5 Accuracy. Neither this Guaranty nor any document, financial
statement, credit information, certificate or statement heretofore furnished or
required herein to be furnished to Lender by Guarantor contains any untrue
statement of fact or omits to state a fact material to this Guaranty.

            4.6 Net Worth. Guarantor has a net worth greater than zero dollars.

5.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT

            Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Lender may,

any applicable notice and cure provisions set forth in the Loan Documents.

            5.2 Failure to Perform. Guarantor fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Guaranty or any agreement under which security is given
herefor, or this Guaranty is revoked or terminated by Guarantor, or any
representation or warranty made or given by Guarantor to Lender proves to be
false or misleading in any material respect.

            5.3 Insolvency Proceeding. The making by Guarantor of any assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or a trustee or receiver being appointed for
Guarantor or for any property of Guarantor, or Guarantor becoming insolvent or

being commenced against Guarantor, such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty
(60) days following the commencement date thereof.

            5.4 Dissolution. Guarantor dissolves or liquidates, or the business
of Guarantor is suspended or terminated for any reason.

is less than Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000.00), excluding goodwill.

6.    MISCELLANEOUS

            6.1 Revival and Reinstatement. If at any time all or any part of any
payment theretofore applied by Lender to any of the Obligations is or must be
rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower), such
Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent such payment
is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence,
notwithstanding such application by Lender, and this Guaranty shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligations, and
Guarantor shall be fully liable therefore, all as though such application by
Lender had not been made.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
            6.2 No Marshaling. Lender has no obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of Guarantor, or against or in payment of (a) any of the Obligations, or
(b) any other obligation owed to Lender by Guarantor, Borrower, or any other
person.

            6.3 No Modification, Waiver or Release Without Writing. Except as
may otherwise be expressly set forth herein, this Guaranty may not be modified,
amended, revised, revoked, terminated, changed or varied in any way whatsoever,
nor shall any waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon
Lender, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly executed by Lender. No
waiver by Lender of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default
or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by Lender permitted
hereunder shall in any way affect or impair Lender's rights or the obligations
of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

            6.4 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Guarantor may not assign
Guarantor's obligations or liability under this Guaranty. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Guaranty shall be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, executors, successors, representatives and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns. Lender may, without notice to anyone, sell or assign the
Obligations, the Note or Loan Documents or any part thereof, or grant
participations therein, and in any such event each and every assignee or holder
of, or participant in, all or any of the Obligations shall have the right to
enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise for the benefit of such assignee,
holder, or participant, as fully as if herein by name specifically given such
right, but Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of
any such assignee, holder or participant, to enforce this Guaranty for the
benefit of Lender.

            6.5 Integration. This Guaranty is the entire agreement of Guarantor
with respect to the subject matter of this Guaranty, provided that this Guaranty
shall not in any way limit or abrogate the obligations of Guarantor under the
other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Hazardous Materials
Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith.

            6.6 Rights Cumulative. All of Lender's rights under this Guaranty
and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. The exercise of any one right does
not exclude the exercise of any other right given in this Guaranty or the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
other Loan Documents or any other right of Lender not set forth in this Guaranty
or the other Loan Documents. If there is more than one guarantor of the
Obligations, Lender may exercise its rights and remedies against any one or more
such guarantors and the failure of Lender to proceed against one or more of such
guarantors shall not affect the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

            6.7 Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Guaranty
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

            6.8 Material Inducement; Consideration. Guarantor acknowledges and
agrees that Lender is specifically relying upon the representations, warranties,
agreements and waivers contained herein and that such representations,
warranties, agreements and waivers constitute a material inducement to Lender to
accept this Guaranty and to enter into the Loan Agreement and the transaction
contemplated therein. Guarantor further acknowledges that it expects to benefit
from Lender's extension of financing accommodations to Borrower because of its
relationship to Borrower, and that it is executing this Guaranty in
consideration of that anticipated benefit.

            6.9 Indemnification. Guarantor agrees to indemnify, pay and hold
Lender and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees
in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that
Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Guaranty or the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other documents
pertaining to the Obligations (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that
Guarantor shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee under this subsection with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, Guarantor shall contribute the maximum
portion

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12
that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any
of them.

            6.10 Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken
together, shall be deemed one and the same agreement.

            6.11 Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to
conflicts of law provisions.

            6.12 Intentionally Omitted.
