<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Item&nbsp;4 is hereby amended by inserting the following new paragraphs after the
sixteenth paragraph thereof:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;10, 2003, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada, Fleet Capital
Corporation and the Issuer (and the other &#147;Borrowers&#148; referenced therein)
entered into a letter agreement dated as of such date (the &#147;First Letter
Agreement&#148;), attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to increase the Initial
Overadvance Limit (as defined in the First Letter Agreement) in accordance with
the terms and conditions of First Letter Agreement and Wynnchurch US and
Wynnchurch Canada agreed to a corresponding increase to the Initial Guaranty
Amount (as defined in the First Letter Agreement) in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the First Letter Agreement.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, on October&nbsp;10, 2003, in connection with the First Letter
Agreement, Wynnchurch US, Wynnchurch Canada, Fleet Capital Corporation and the
Issuer entered into a letter agreement dated as of such date (the &#147;Second
Letter Agreement&#148;), attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to the Issuer&#146;s payment
to Wynnchurch US and Wynnchurch Canada of the Guaranty Amendment Fee (as
defined in the Second Letter Agreement) in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Second Letter Agreement as consideration for the increase to
the Initial Guaranty Amount.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Item&nbsp;5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to Rows 7-11 and 13 (including the footnotes thereto) of
each of the cover pages of this Amendment No.&nbsp;7 to Schedule&nbsp;13D, which Rows are
incorporated by reference herein. Each of the calculations in this Item&nbsp;5 is
based on 34,784,486 shares of Issuer&#146;s common stock outstanding, which is
computed by adding (i)&nbsp;17,117,819 shares of Issuer&#146;s common stock outstanding
as of August&nbsp;8, 2003, as disclosed on Issuer&#146;s Form&nbsp;10-Q filed with the SEC on
August&nbsp;14, 2003, and (ii)&nbsp;17,666,667 shares of common stock, in the aggregate,
issuable upon (a)&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.

      Re:   LETTER AGREEMENT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      Reference is made to the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January
31, 2002 among Alternative Resources Corporation, ARC Service, Inc., ARC
Solutions, Inc., ARC Midholding, Inc., Writers Inc., ARC Technology Management
LLC, ARC Staffing Management LLC, and ARC Shared Services LLC, as joint and
several borrowers (the "Borrowers"), and Fleet Capital Corporation, as lender
(the "Lender"), as amended by a First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver
dated as of August 8, 2001, a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of
August 30, 2002, a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 14,
2002, and a Waiver, Joinder and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of
December 27, 2002, a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver dated as of
April 14, 2003, a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 15, 2003
and a Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver dated as of August 14,
2003 (the "Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein as defined terms
and not otherwise defined herein, have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Credit Agreement.

      Reference is further made to that certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of
April 14, 2003 made by Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P., and Wynnchurch Capital
Partners Canada, L.P. (collectively, "Wynnchurch"), for the benefit of the
Lender, as amended by a First Amendment to Guaranty Agreement dated as of July
15, 2003 (the "Guaranty Agreement").

                                Exhibits: Page 2
<PAGE>
      The Borrowers and Wynnchurch have requested that the Lender agree to
temporarily increase the Initial Overadvance Limit to, and maintain the Initial
Overadvance Limit at, $2,000,000 for the period from and including September 11,
2003 to and including November 11, 2003 (the "Temporary Increase Period"), it
being understood that any payments made in respect of accounts receivable owing
to the Borrowers by BlueCurrent shall not reduce the Initial Overadvance Limit
during the Temporary Increase Period. The Lender is willing to so increase the
Initial Overadvance Limit, subject to Wynnchurch's agreement that the Initial
Guaranty Amount (as defined in the Guaranty Agreement) shall also be increased
to, and maintained at, $2,000,000 during the Temporary Increase Period, it being
understood that any payments made in respect of accounts receivable owing to the
Borrowers by BlueCurrent shall not reduce the Initial Guaranty Amount during the
Temporary Increase Period.

      This Letter Agreement sets forth the mutual understanding and agreement of
the Borrowers, the Lender and Wynnchurch that, notwithstanding the terms of the
Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, the Initial Overadvance Limit and
the Initial Guaranty Amount shall each be deemed to mean $2,000,000 during the
Temporary Increase Period, and neither shall not be reduced during the Temporary
Increase Period as a result of payments made in respect of accounts receivable
owing to the Borrowers by BlueCurrent. Following termination of the Temporary
Increase Period, both the Initial Overadvance Limit and the Initial Guaranty
Amount shall be deemed to be the greater of (a) the amount that the Initial
Overadvance Limit would be at such time if (i) this letter Agreement had never
been executed and (ii) all payments made during the Temporary Increase Period in
respect of accounts receivable owing by BlueCurrent had been given effect to
reduce the Initial Overadvance Limit, and (b) the actual Overadvance Amount at
such time; provided that in no event shall the obligations of Wynnchurch under
the Guaranty Agreement exceed the sum of (i) $2,000,000, plus (ii) in the event
any payment required to be made by Wynnchurch under the Guaranty Agreement is
not made when due, interest at the Post-Default Rate accruing on such unpaid
amount from the date such amount became due under the Wynnchurch Guaranty, plus
(iii) the reasonable expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel), if any,
incurred by the Lender in enforcement of and collection under the Guaranty
Agreement.. Thereafter, the Initial Overadvance Limit and the Initial Guaranty
Amount, as so determined, shall be subject to reduction in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement.

      Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement, and all related documents shall continue in
full force and effect.

      This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which, when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all counterparts
together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page
hereto by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.

      This Letter Agreement supercedes that certain letter agreement dated as of
September 11, 2003 among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter
hereof, and shall be effective as of September 11, 2003.

      RE:   GUARANTY AMENDMENT FEE

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      Reference is made to the Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") dated
October 10, 2003 and effective as of September 11, 2003 among Wynnchurch Capital
Partners, L.P. ("Wynnchurch USA"), Wynnchurch Capital Partners Canada, L.P.
("Wynnchurch Canada" along with Wynnchurch USA, collectively, "Wynnchurch"),
Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet"), Alternative Resources Corporation, ARC
Service, Inc. ("ARC"), ARC Solutions, Inc., ARC Midholding, Inc., Writers Inc.,
ARC Technology Management LLC, ARC Staffing Management LLC, and ARC Shared
Services LLC (along with ARC, collectively, the "Borrowers"), pursuant to which,
among other things, Wynnchurch and Fleet agreed to amend certain terms of the
Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 14, 2003 made by Wynnchurch for the benefit
of Fleet, as amended by a First Amendment to Guaranty Agreement dated as of July
15, 2003 (as so amended, the "Guaranty Agreement"). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Guaranty Agreement.

      In consideration of, and as a condition to Wynnchurch entering into the
Letter Agreement and agreeing to the transactions contemplated therein, ARC
agrees to pay to Wynnchurch the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000) (the "Guaranty Amendment Fee"), payable in the manner set forth
herein, and Fleet hereby consents to such payment. The Guaranty Amendment Fee
shall be treated as if it is an additional $300,000 of interest payable pursuant
to that certain Note dated as of January 31, 2002, as amended, of ARC to
Wynnchurch Canada, and that certain Note dated as of January 31, 2002, as
amended, of ARC to Wynnchurch USA (such notes collectively, the "Notes"), in
proportion to the principal thereof and in each case accrued as of the date
hereof. The Guaranty Amendment Fee shall accrue interest as if it were interest
accrued pursuant to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guaranty
Amendment Fee shall be deemed to be a "Subordinated Obligation" pursuant to the
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 31, 2002, among
the Wynnchurch, Fleet and the Borrowers (as amended, the "Subordination
Agreement") and shall be deferred and not be paid, except as permitted under the
terms of the Credit Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, treating the
payment of the Guaranty Amendment Fee as the payment of additional interest
pursuant to the Notes.

      The parties acknowledge and agree that this letter agreement (a) may be

shall together constitute one and the same instrument, (b) shall in all respects
be governed by the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Illinois, and (c)
shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
