       shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

       (a) This Note, together with all principal and any interest due and owing
           hereunder shall become immediately due and payable (including,
           without limitation, that amount that would have been forgiven
           pursuant to Paragraph 5 had Borrower remained in Market Facts'
           employ) without demand, or legal process of any kind.

       (b) Market Facts may proceed to protect and enforce Market Facts' rights
           by suit in equity or by action at law, whether for the specific
           performance of any covenant, agreement or provision of this Note, or

           to enforce the payment of this Note or to enforce any other legal or
           equitable rights with respect thereto.

     No delay or failure in declaring any such default or in enforcing any such
right, power or remedy, and no course of dealing between Market Facts and the
Borrower, or in any other person, firm, corporation or entity, and no failure by
Market Facts or the Borrower, or any other person, firm, corporation or entity
to act in good faith, shall constitute a waiver of any right, power or remedy
available to Market Facts, or in any way or manner prejudice, impair, diminish
or restrict any right, power or remedy available to Market Facts.

     Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest are
hereby waived by Borrower.

   9.  Waivers of Default. Market Facts may waive any past default under this
Note and its consequences; provided, however, that no waiver of a default shall

Upon the giving of a waiver as provided in this Paragraph 9, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied and cured for every purpose of this Note. No such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right, power or
remedy with respect to any subsequent or other default.

   10.  General. This Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Illinois. Any notice or other communication required, permitted or
desirable hereunder shall be sufficiently given if sent by United States mail,
postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the
party's last known address.

   11.  Investment Representation. Borrower is aware of Market Facts' business
affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about
Market Facts to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire shares
of Market Facts, Inc. common stock. Borrower is purchasing these shares for
investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection
with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed this Note on the date first
written above.

                                       BORROWER:
