reliance upon the Representations and Warranties, Lenders make the following
commitments to Borrower:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt"><B>3.1. Revolving Loan Commitments.</B>



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><B>3.1.1. Aggregate Amount. </B>Subject to the limitations in Section
3.1.2 and elsewhere herein, each Lender commits to make available
to Borrower, from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date, such Lender&#146;s pro-rata share (as listed on Exhibit&nbsp;3 hereto)
of an <I>Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment </I>of $15,000,000.00, by
funding such Lender&#146;s pro-rata share of Revolving Loan Advances
made from time to time by Administrative Agent as provided herein.
Subject to the limitations in Section&nbsp;3.1.2 and elsewhere herein,
payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Loan may be re-borrowed through Revolving Loan Advances.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><B>3.1.2. Limitation on Revolving Loan Advances. </B>No Revolving Loan
Advance will be made which would result in the sum of the Aggregate
Revolving Loan and the Letter of Credit Exposure on any Advance
Date (except to the extent that a Revolving Loan Advance will be
used immediately to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer for
unreimbursed draws on a Letter of Credit) exceeding the lesser of
(i)&nbsp;the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii)&nbsp;the Borrowing
Base and no Revolving Loan Advance will be made on or after the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Lenders may, however, in their
absolute discretion make such Revolving Loan Advances, but shall
not be deemed by doing so to have increased the Maximum Available
Amount and shall not be obligated to make any such Revolving Loan
Advances thereafter. At any time that there is an Existing Default,
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may be canceled as provided
in Section&nbsp;17.3. The <I>Maximum Available Amount </I>on any date shall be
a Dollar amount equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the Aggregate Revolving
Loan Commitment and (ii)&nbsp;the Borrowing Base on such date, minus (a)
the amount outstanding under the Aggregate Revolving Loan on such
date, and (b)&nbsp;the Letter of Credit Exposure on such date (except to
the extent that a Revolving Loan Advance will be used immediately
to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer for unreimbursed draws on a
Letter of Credit).



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><B>3.1.3. Revolving Notes. </B>The obligation of Borrower to repay each
Lender&#146;s Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note
payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount
equal to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment and otherwise
in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><B>3.1.4. Borrowing Base. </B>The <I>Borrowing Base </I>on any date shall be 75%
of the sum of all Eligible Accounts on the financial statements of
the Borrower as of the close of business on such date, or as
certified in the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently furnished
to Administrative Agent as required in Section&nbsp;14.15.1, whichever
is less.

required amount available to Administrative Agent on the Advance

assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such corresponding amount is not in fact made immediately available
to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the Advance Date,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount immediately upon
Administrative Agent&#146;s demand therefor, then Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify Borrower and the other Lenders, and Borrower
shall pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent within
two (2)&nbsp;days of the date of delivery of such notice by
Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled
to recover, either from such defaulting Lender (a <I>Defaulting
Lender</I>) or Borrower, interest on such corresponding amount for each
day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by
Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding
amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to (i)&nbsp;if paid by such Lender, the cost to Administrative
Agent of funding such amount at the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii)&nbsp;if
paid by Borrower, the applicable rate for the Advance in question
determined from the request therefor. Each Lender shall be
obligated only to fund its pro-rata share of an Advance subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, regardless of the failure of
another Lender to fund its pro-rata share thereof. In addition,
the failure of any Lender to pay its pro-rata share of any such
Advance shall cause such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender and such
Defaulting Lender shall, until such amount is paid to
Administrative Agent (with interest at the Federal Funds Rate), (a)
permit Administrative Agent the unconditional and irrevocable right
of setoff against any amounts (including, without limitation,
payments of principal, interest, and fees, as well as indemnity
payments) received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the
benefit of any such Defaulting Lender, and (b)&nbsp;if such failure to
pay shall continue for a period of two Business Days, result in any
such Defaulting Lender forfeiting any right to vote on any matter
that the Required Lenders or all Lenders are permitted to vote for
hereunder (and the calculation of Required Lenders shall exclude
such Defaulting Lender&#146;s interest in the Lenders&#146; Exposure);
provided, however, once such a failure is cured, then such Lender
shall, subsequent thereto, have all rights hereunder; provided,
further, however, if any Lender shall fail to make such a payment
within the two Business Day period specified in clause (b)&nbsp;above
(other than by reason of events beyond the reasonable control of
such Lender) two or more times during the term hereof, such Lender
shall permanently forfeit its right to vote hereunder (and the calculation of

hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term <I>Lender </I>or <I>Lenders </I>shall,

investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of
lending, trust, or other business with any Covered Person or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative
Agent, and LaSalle (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and
its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Covered
Person or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in

the same to Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive

the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document; provided that no Lender

<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt">Dated as of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">THIS MASTER LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (this &#147;Agreement&#148;) is issued by the
undersigned applicant (the &#147;Applicant&#148;) in favor of LaSalle Bank National
Association (together with its affiliates as set forth in Section&nbsp;II .8, the
&#147;Bank&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Applicant may from time to time request that the Bank issue letters of
credit for the account of the Applicant. The Applicant agrees that, except as
provided below, any such letter of credit shall be subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, and the Applicant further agrees with and for the
benefit of the Bank as follows:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">SECTION 1 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. When used herein the following terms shall have
the following meanings (such definitions to be applicable to both the singular
and plural forms of such terms):


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Application means, at any time, an application (which shall be in writing,
including by facsimile, or made by electronic transmission) for a letter of
credit to be issued by the Bank, specifying (a)&nbsp;the requested issuance date,
the amount, the beneficiary and the expiration date of such letter of credit,
(b)&nbsp;the documentary requirements for drawing thereunder and (c)&nbsp;such other
information as the Bank may reasonably request.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Business Day means any day on which the Bank is open for commercial banking
business at its principal office in Chicago, Illinois.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Letter of Credit means any letter of credit issued (including any letter of
credit issued prior to the date hereof) by the Bank for the account of the
Applicant (including any letter of credit issued jointly for the account of the
Applicant and any other Person), in each case as amended or otherwise modified
from time to time but excluding any letter of credit that is issued pursuant to
an Application which expressly provides that such letter of credit is not
issued pursuant to this Agreement. A letter of credit issued by the Bank
pursuant to an Application from the Applicant (either individually or together
with any other Person) shall be a Letter of Credit hereunder even if another
Person is named as the &#147;Applicant&#148; or &#147;Account Party&#148; in such letter of credit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Liabilities means all obligations of the Applicant to the Bank and its
successors and assigns, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct

herewith or therewith.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Prime Rate means the rate per annum established by the Bank from time to time
as its &#147;Prime Rate&#148; for commercial customers. The Prime Rate is a reference

charged to any customer.

Illinois.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">UCP means at any time the most recent Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits issued by the International Chamber of Commerce.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Unmatured Event of Default means any event which if it continues uncured will,
with lapse of time or notice or both, constitute an Event of Default.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">SECTION 2 LETTER OF CREDIT PROCEDURES.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">2.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Bank may from time to time, in its sole and complete discretion,
issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Applicant; provided that the
terms and provisions of each Letter of Credit and the Application therefor
shall be satisfactory to the Bank in its discretion.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">2.2 Applications. Not later than three Business Days prior to the date of the
proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit (Or such later date as the Bank shall
agree), the Applicant shall deliver an Application for such Letter of Credit to
the Bank. An Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by
overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the
Bank, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Bank.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">2.3 Form of Letters of Credit. (a)&nbsp;The Applicant authorizes the Bank to set
forth the terms of each Application in the Letter of Credit corresponding to
such Application (and in any amendment thereto) in such language as the Bank
deems appropriate, with such variations from such terms as the Bank may in its
discretion determine to be necessary (which determination shall be conclusive)
and not materially inconsistent with such Application. The Bank may, but shall
not be obligated to, request the Applicant to review the form of a Letter of
Credit prior to issuance thereof, in which case the Applicant shall be deemed
to have approved the form of such Letter of Credit. With respect to any other
Letter of Credit, the Applicant agrees that such Letter of Credit shall be
conclusively presumed to be in proper form unless the Applicant notifies the
Bank in writing of any inconsistency in such Letter of Credit within three
Business Days of its issuance. Upon receipt of timely notice of any discrepancy
in any Letter of Credit, the Bank will endeavor to obtain the consent of the
beneficiary and any confirming bank for an appropriate modification to such
Letter of Credit; provided that the Bank shall have no liability or
responsibility for its failure to obtain such consent.

the Applicant will immediately (and, in any event, within three Business Days)

to the Bank within three Business Days objecting to such payment or

</TABLE>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">3.3 Documents. Unless specified to the contrary in the relevant Application,
the Applicant agrees that the Bank and its correspondents: (a)&nbsp;may accept as
complying with the applicable Letter of Credit any Item drawn, issued or
presented under such Letter of Credit which is issued or purportedly issued by
an agent, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other representative of
the party identified in such Letter of Credit as the party permitted to draw,
issue or present such Item; and (b)&nbsp;may in its or their discretion, but shall
not be obligated to, accept or honor (i)&nbsp;any Item which substantially complies
with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit; (ii)&nbsp;any Item which
substantially complies under the laws, rules, regulations and general banking
or trade customs and usages of the place of presentation, negotiation or
payment; (iii)&nbsp;drafts which fail to bear any or adequate reference to the
applicable Letter of Credit; (iv)&nbsp;any Item presented to the Bank after the
stated expiration date of a Letter of Credit but within any applicable time
period during which such Letter of Credit may be honored in accordance with the
UCP, the UCC and/or the ISP, as applicable (and, in any event, any Item
presented to the Bank on the Business Day immediately following the stated
expiration date of any Letter of Credit, if such stated expiration date falls
on a day which is not a Business Day); or (v)&nbsp;any Item which substantially
complies with the requirements of the UCP, the UCC and/or the ISP, as
applicable. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Bank
shall have no obligation to the Applicant or any other Person except to confirm
that the Items required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to
have been delivered and appear on their face to substantially comply with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit. For purposes of the foregoing, an Item
&#147;substantially complies&#148; unless there are discrepancies in the presentation
which appear to be substantial and which reflect corresponding defects in the
beneficiary&#146;s performance in the underlying transaction. A discrepancy is not
substantial if it is unrelated or immaterial to the nature or amount of the
Applicant&#146;s loss. For example, documents honored by the Bank that do not comply
with the timing requirements of the Letter of Credit for presenting or dating
any required beneficiary statement nonetheless substantially comply if those
timing requirements are not material in determining whether the underlying
agreement has been substantially performed or violated.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">3.4 Exculpation. In addition to the exculpatory provisions contained in the
UCP, the UCC and/or the ISP, as applicable, the Bank and its correspondents
shall not be responsible for, and the Applicant&#146;s obligation to reimburse the
Bank shall not be affected by, (a)&nbsp;compliance with any law, custom or
regulation in effect in the country of issuance, presentation, negotiation or
payment of any Letter of Credit, (b)&nbsp;any refusal by the Bank to honor any Item
because of an applicable law, regulation or ruling of any governmental agency,
whether now or hereafter in effect, (c)&nbsp;any action or inaction required or
permitted under the UCC, the UCP, the ISP or the United Nations Convention on
Independent Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit, in each case as
applicable, or (d)&nbsp;any act or the failure to act of any agent or correspondent
of the Bank, including, without limitation, failure of any such agent or
correspondent to pay any Item because of any law, decree, regulation, ruling or
interpretation of any governmental agency.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">3.5 Risks. The Applicant assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit (it being understood that
such assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Applicant from
pursuing any right or remedy it may have against any such beneficiary or
transferee). The Applicant further agrees that any action or omission by the
Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or any related Item,
document or property shall, unless in breach of good faith, be binding on the
Applicant and shall not put the Bank under any resulting liability to the
Applicant. Without limiting the foregoing, the Applicant agrees that in no
event shall the Bank be liable for incidental, consequential, punitive,
exemplary or special damages.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">3.6 Limitation on Bank&#146;s Obligations. Without limiting any other provision
herein, the Bank is expressly authorized and directed to honor any request for
payment which is made under and in compliance with the terms of any Letter of
Credit without regard to, and without any duty on the part of the Bank to
inquire into, the existence of any dispute or controversy between any of the
Applicant, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, or the
respective rights, duties or liabilities of any of them, or whether any facts
represented in any Item presented under a Letter of Credit are true or correct.
Furthermore, the Applicant agrees that the Bank&#146;s obligation to the Applicant
shall be limited to honoring requests for payment made under and in compliance
with the terms of any Letter of Credit, and the Bank&#146;s obligation remains so
limited even if the Bank may have prepared or assisted in the preparation of
the wording of any Letter of Credit or any Item required to be presented
thereunder or the Bank may otherwise be aware of the underlying transaction
giving rise to any Letter of Credit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">3.7 Automatic Renewal of Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit contains
any provision for automatic renewal, the Applicant acknowledges and agrees that
the Bank is under no obligation to allow such renewal to occur and any such
renewal shall remain within the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank. The
Applicant irrevocably consents to the automatic renewal of each such Letter of
Credit in accordance with its terms if the Bank allows such renewal to occur;
provided that the Applicant shall have the right to request the Bank to
disallow any such renewal on the condition that the Applicant shall give the
Bank prior written notice of such request not less than 30&nbsp;days prior to the
deadline imposed upon the Bank for notification to the beneficiary of
non-renewal of any such Letter of Credit.

obligated to deliver to the Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to the face
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The Bank shall promptly advise the
Applicant of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the
effect of such declaration. The Applicant hereby grants the Bank a security
interest in all cash collateral delivered hereunder. All cash collateral shall
be held by the Bank and applied to Liabilities arising in connection with any
drawing under a Letter of Credit. After all Letters of Credit have been fully
drawn, expired or been terminated, such cash collateral shall be applied by the
Bank, first, to any remaining Liabilities and, then, to any other liabilities
of the Applicant to the Bank, and any excess shall be delivered to the
Applicant or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">10.1 Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt payment and
performance of all Liabilities, and in addition to any other security given to
the Bank by separate agreement, the Applicant hereby grants to the Bank a
continuing security interest in all of the following, whether now existing or
hereafter arising: (i)&nbsp;all property shipped, stored or dealt with in connection
with any Letter of Credit; and (ii)&nbsp;all drafts, documents, instruments,
contracts (including, without limitation, shipping documents, warehouse
receipts and policies or certificates of insurance), inventory, accounts,
chattel paper and general intangibles, and all proceeds of the foregoing,
arising from or in connection with any Letter of Credit, including, without
limitation, any of the foregoing which is in the Bank&#146;s actual or constructive
possession or is in transit to the Bank or any of its affiliates, agents or
correspondents (and regardless of whether such property has been released to
the Applicant). The Applicant further agrees that the Bank or any of its
affiliates may set off and apply to any of the Liabilities which are then due
and payable (by acceleration or otherwise) any deposit of the Applicant at any
time held by the Bank or any of its affiliates. The Applicant agrees that this
Agreement (Or a carbon or photographic copy hereof) may be filed as a financing
statement to the extent permitted by law. The Applicant agrees that, on request
by the Bank, the Applicant shall execute and deliver such financing statements
and other documents or instruments as may be required by the Bank to perfect or
maintain the security interest of the Bank hereunder.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">10.2 Rights and Remedies. The Bank shall have all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC. If prior notice to the Applicant is required for
any action, the Bank shall give the Applicant at least five days&#146; notice in
writing of the time and place of the sale, disposition or other event giving
rise to such required notice, and the Applicant agrees that such notice will be
deemed commercially reasonable. Any property or document representing
collateral may be held by the Bank in its name or in the name of the Bank&#146;s
nominee, all without prior notice. Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
collateral shall be applied, in order, to the expenses of retaking, holding and
preparing the collateral for sale (including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and
legal expenses), and then to the obligations of the Applicant hereunder until
paid in full. The Applicant shall be liable for any deficiency.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">11.1 Waiver: Amendments. No delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of
any tight, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude other or
further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any
provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed and delivered by the Bank, and then any such amendment,

instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
