Table of Contents

     This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 8, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 7, 2002, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 12, 2002, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 18, 2002, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 16, 2003 and Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 17, 2003. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Original Schedule 13D, as amended, remains in full force and effect. Terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended by inserting the following new paragraph after the fifteenth paragraph thereof:

     On August 14, 2003, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada and the Issuer entered into a Sixth Amendment and Waiver to Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of such date (the “Sixth Amendment”), attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to amend certain financial covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement and Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada agreed to waive certain events of default, in accordance with the terms of the Sixth Amendment. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, on August 14, 2003, Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada delivered to Fleet Capital Corporation an Acknowledgment Letter (the “August 2003 Acknowledgment Letter”), which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

     In addition, on August 14, 2003, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada and the Issuer entered into a Second Amendment to Notes dated as of such date (the “Second Amendment”), attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to amend the Notes, as amended by the Amendment to Notes dated as of April 14, 2003 among the parties thereto, to increase the annual interest rate from 15% to 16%.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     Reference is made to Rows 7-11 and 13 (including the footnotes thereto) of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D, which Rows are incorporated by reference herein. Each of the calculations in this Item 5 is based on 34,784,486 shares of Issuer’s common stock outstanding, which is computed by adding (i) 17,117,819 shares of Issuer’s common stock outstanding as of August 8, 2003, as disclosed on Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2003, and (ii) 17,666,667 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, issuable upon (a) full exercise of the Warrants and Contingent Warrants and (b) full conversion of the Notes (as each such term is defined herein). Each of the calculations in this Item 5 assumes the full exercise of the Warrants held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 10,000,000 Shares (which Warrants are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty days of the date hereof), the full conversion of the Notes held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 6,666,667 Shares, and the exercise of the Contingent Warrants held by Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada into 1,000,000 Shares (which Contingent Warrants are not currently exercisable, but may become exercisable within sixty days of the date hereof). Statements regarding power to vote and dispose of the Shares assume that the Warrants and Contingent Warrants have been exercised and the Notes converted, and further assumes that the Stanojev Warrant has not been exercised (which would decrease the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons herein). These calculations also exclude any senior subordinated convertible promissory notes which may be issued by the Issuer upon funding of the Guaranty.

     Each of Wynnchurch Partners, L.P., Wynnchurch Management, Inc., Wynnchurch Partners Canada, L.P. and Wynnchurch GP Canada, Inc. may be deemed a member of a “group” within the

Table of Contents

meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, or Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Act with one or more of the other Reporting Persons. Although Wynnchurch Partners, L.P., Wynnchurch Management, Inc., Wynnchurch Partners Canada, L.P. and Wynnchurch GP Canada, Inc. are reporting such securities as if they were members of a “group,” the filing of this Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission by any such Reporting Person that it is a beneficial owner of any securities covered hereby.

ITEM 7. MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

Item 7 is hereby amended by inserting the following new exhibits:

Exhibit 1		Statement made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Exhibit X		Sixth Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Waiver among Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada and Issuer dated as of August 14, 2003.

     WHEREAS, the Company and its subsidiaries failed to satisfy (a) the Tangible Capital Base covenant set forth in Section 7.5(h)(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003 and (b) the Fixed Charge coverage shortfall covenant set forth in Section 7.5(h)(iii) for the six month fiscal period ended June 30, 2003, and each such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.2 of the Notes (the “June 30 Events of Default”);

     WHEREAS, the Company and Fleet Capital Corporation, as Lender pursuant to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 2002, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) have requested that the Purchasers waive the June 30 Events of Default and any other existing defaults by the Company as provided herein, and amend certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement; and

3. Amendments.

Attn: Christopher Godfrey

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 2002 (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) among Alternative Resources Corporation, ARC Service, Inc., ARC Solutions, Inc., ARC Midholding, Inc., Writers Inc., as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) and Fleet Capital Corporation, as lender (the “Lender”), (ii) the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 31, 2002 (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement”) among Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. (“Wynnchurch USA”), Wynnchurch Capital Partners Canada, L.P. (“Wynnchurch Canada”, and collectively with Wynnchurch USA, “Wynnchurch”), the Borrowers and the Lender, (iii) the Guaranty Agreement dated as of July 15, 2003, made by Wynnchurch to the Lender (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Guaranty”), and (iv) the Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver dated as of the date hereof among the Borrowers and the Lender (the “Seventh Amendment”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein as defined terms have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

Wynnchurch acknowledges that (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement as a result of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy (A) the Tangible Capital Base covenant set forth in Section 8.10(a) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003 and (B) the Fixed Charge coverage shortfall covenant set forth in Section 8.10(c) for the six month fiscal period ended June 30, 2003 (collectively, the “June 30, 2003 Events of Default”), and (ii) pursuant to the Seventh Amendment, the Lender has agreed to waive the June 30, 2003 Events of Default and to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as more fully set forth in the Seventh Amendment. Wynnchurch further acknowledges that the execution and delivery by Wynnchurch of (A) a written waiver with respect to the existing defaults of the Borrowers under the Subordinated Debt Documents and the amendment of the financial covenants set forth in the Subordinated Debt Documents, and (B) this acknowledgement letter, are conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment.

Accordingly, to induce the Lender to enter into the Seventh Amendment and to enable the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, Wynnchurch hereby (i) confirms that Wynnchurch has executed and delivered to the Borrowers a written amendment and waiver with respect to the existing defaults under and financial covenant provisions contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents, (ii) executes and delivers to the Lender this acknowledgement letter, (iii) covenants and agrees that notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in the Wynnchurch

Table of Contents

Subordinated Notes, any other Subordinated Debt Document, the Credit Agreement, the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay to Wynnchurch, and Wynnchurch shall not accept from the Borrowers, any cash payments of interest owed with respect to the Wynnchurch Subordinated Notes for any period from and after June 1, 2003 unless and until such time as the Lender receives from the Borrowers a Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter of the Borrowers ending December 31, 2003 or any subsequent quarterly period, demonstrating that immediately prior to and after giving effect to each contemplated cash payment of interest in respect of the Wynnchurch Subordinated Notes, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement and the Borrowers shall be in full compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Seventh Amendment, and (iv) acknowledges that the Guaranty remains in full force and effect and hereby ratifies and confirms the Guaranty in all respects except that, upon and after the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, each reference in the Guaranty to the “Credit Agreement” shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by the Seventh Amendment. For purposes of clarification, notwithstanding Wynnchurch’s covenant and agreement contained in clause (iii) above, interest shall continue to accrue on the Wynnchurch Subordinated Notes.

Wynnchurch hereby further represents, warrants and confirms to the Lender that (i) as of June 30, 2003, (A) the Capital Commitments (as defined in the Guaranty) of Wynnchurch USA aggregate $80,250,000; (B) the Capital Commitments of Wynnchurch Canada aggregate $82,852,885; (C) Capital Calls (as defined in the Guaranty) aggregating $39,136,728 have been made by Wynnchurch USA; (D) Capital Calls aggregating $40,468,546 have been made by Wynnchurch Canada; and (E) no Investor (as defined in the Guaranty) has failed to fund all of the amounts required to be paid by such Investor pursuant to Capital Calls heretofore made or is otherwise in default under any subscription agreement relating to its investment in Wynnchurch USA or Wynnchurch Canada, as applicable; (ii) the representations and warranties of Wynnchurch contained in the Guaranty are true and correct on and as of the date hereof as if made on such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); (iii) the aggregate amount of Uncalled Capital Commitments (as defined in the Guaranty) in respect of Wynnchurch equals or exceeds three times the aggregate Guarantor Indebtedness (as defined in the Guaranty).

The New Wynnchurch Subordinated Notes (as defined in the Guaranty), if issued, will contain the terms applicable to the Wynnchurch Subordinated Notes (as amended from time to time, including pursuant to the Second Amendment to Notes of even date herewith between Wynnchurch and the Company), subject to the terms of the Guaranty.

The parties acknowledge and agree that upon payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), the obligations and agreements set forth in this acknowledgement letter shall terminate and this acknowledgement letter shall be of no further force and effect.
