         Debtor expressly warrants and covenants:

         1.      Except for the security interest granted hereby, Debtor is, or
                 to the extent that this Security Agreement states that the
                 Collateral is to be acquired after the date hereof, will be,
                 the owner of the Collateral free from any lien, security
                 interest or encumbrance.  Debtor shall defend the Collateral
                 against all claims and demands of all persons at any time
                 claiming the same or any interest therein.

         2.      The Collateral is used or bought primarily for use in the
                 business of Debtor.

         3.      Debtor's business address is as stated above.  The Collateral
                 is located at or on or is used or owned for or in connection
                 with the real estate situated in Kane County, Illinois, and
                 described on the attached Exhibit A herein incorporated by
                 this reference (the "Property").

         4.      Debtor shall notify Secured Party of any change in the
                 location of the Collateral or any change in Debtor's principal
                 place of business.

         5.      Debtor shall pay all taxes and assessments of every nature
                 which may be levied or assessed against the Collateral.

         6.      Debtor shall not permit the Collateral to be attached or
                 replevied.  If any lien, security interest or other
                 encumbrance is filed or placed against the Collateral (other
                 than liens and security interests in favor of Secured Party),
                 Debtor shall cause the same to be released and discharged
                 within forty-five (45) days after the date such lien, security
                 interest or other encumbrance is filed or placed against the
                 Collateral.


                                      2


   3


         7.      The Collateral is in good condition and Debtor shall keep the
                 Collateral in good condition and from time to time, forthwith,
                 replace and repair all such parts of the Collateral as may be
                 broken, worn out, or damaged without allowing any lien to be
                 created upon the Collateral on account of such replacement or
                 repairs.  Secured Party may examine and inspect the Collateral
                 at any time, wherever located.

         8.      Debtor will not use the Collateral in violation of any
                 applicable statutes, regulations or ordinances.

         Until the occurrence of any Event of Default, Debtor may have
possession of the Collateral and use it in any lawful manner, and upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the immediate
right to the possession of the Collateral.

         Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon the
happening of any of the following events (an "Event of Default"):

                 (a)      the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined
                          under the Note, any instrument securing the Note,
                          including the Mortgage securing the Note (the
                          "Mortgage"), any other Loan Document, or the
                          Certificate and Indemnity Agreement Regarding
                          Hazardous Substances or the Environmental Indemnity
                          Agreement; or

                 (b)      loss, theft, damage or destruction to or of any of
                          the Collateral which shall materially and
                          substantially diminish the aggregate value of the
                          Collateral, the sale or encumbrance of any of the
                          Collateral, or the making of any levy, seizure or
                          attachment on or to the Collateral.

         Upon an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Secured Party may
declare the Note immediately due and payable and shall have the remedies of a
secured party under the Articles of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code").  Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and
deliver or make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by
Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

         Secured Party may require that the Collateral be sold at a public sale
at the same time and place as the sale of the Property, or Secured Party may
sell the Collateral at one or more other public or private sales in accordance
with the Code.  The Collateral shall not be required to be exhibited, presented
or displayed at any sale.  In the event that the Collateral is sold under the
Mortgage, Secured Party hereby assigns its security interest in the Collateral
to the trustee or Sheriff selling the Property under the Mortgage.  Debtor
agrees that a sale of the Collateral under the Mortgage and the notices
required under the laws of Illinois for the sale of real property are
commercially reasonable and adequate under the Code.

         Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party in addition to the indebtedness
secured hereby, all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale and
selling incurred by Secured Party in



                                      3
   4

connection with realization on the Collateral including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs.  In addition, in the event suit or action is instituted to
enforce or interpret this Agreement (including without limitation efforts to
modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover all expenses reasonably incurred at, before or after
trial and on appeal whether or not taxable as costs, or in any bankruptcy
proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, witness fees
(expert and otherwise), deposition costs, copying charges and other expenses.

         No waiver by Secured Party of an Event of Default shall operate as a
waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.  The
taking of this Security Agreement shall not waive or impair any other security
said Secured Party may have or hereafter acquire for the payment of the Note
nor shall the taking of any such additional security waive or impair this
Security Agreement.  Secured Party may resort to any security it may have in
the order it may deem proper.

         All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of
its successors and assigns.  All promises and duties of Debtor shall bind its
successors and assigns.

         Any and all notices, elections, demands, or requests permitted or
required to be made under this Security Agreement shall be in writing, signed
by the party giving such notice, election, demand or request, and shall be
delivered personally, by telegram, or sent by registered, certified, or Express
United States mail, postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or similar service
requiring a receipt, to the other party at the address set forth above or to
such other party and at such other address within the United States of America
as any party may designate as provided herein.  The date of receipt of such
notice, election, demand or request shall be the earliest of (i) the date of
actual receipt, (ii) three (3) days after the date of mailing by registered or
certified mail, (iii) one (1) day after the date of mailing by Express Mail, or
the delivery (for redelivery) to Federal Express or another similar service
requiring a receipt, or (iv) the date of personal delivery (or refusal upon
presentation for delivery).

         This Security Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Illinois.

         This Security Agreement is dated as of August 31, 1995.
