Carroll, Jr. CRL, Inc. 6300 Syracuse Way, Suite 300 Englewood, Colorado 80111 Attn: Jonathan P. Johnson, President Re: Voting of Katy Industries Common Stock Gentlemen: It is our understanding that certain shareholders of Katy Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("KATY"), including Wallace E. Carroll, Jr. ("CARROLL") and CRL, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CRL," and, together with Carroll and the other shareholders, the "SHAREHOLDERS"), have entered into that certain Stock Voting Agreement with KKTY Holding Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("KKTY"), dated as of June 2, 2001 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), a fully executed copy of which is attached hereto (the "STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the Shareholders have jointly and severally agreed to vote (or cause to be voted) 2,480,000 shares of common stock, $1 par value, of Katy ("COMMON STOCK") owned (whether of record or beneficially) by the Shareholders as of the Effective Date (the "SECURITIES") with respect to certain questions that may be put to the Shareholders, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Voting Agreement (the "VOTE"). Also pursuant to the Stock Voting Agreement, each Shareholder has severally, and not jointly: 1) appointed KKTY, and any designee of KKTY, each of them individually, such Shareholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote, to act by written consent or to request that the chairman or secretary of Katy call a special meeting of the stockholders, during the Closing Voting Period (as defined in the Stock Voting Agreement) with respect to such Shareholder's Securities in accordance with the Vote (the "PROXY"); 2) represented and warranted that any proxies previously given in respect of such Shareholder's Securities are not irrevocable, and that all such proxies have been or are revoked (the "REVOCATION"); and Page 27 of 32 Pages 3) covenanted not to request that Katy register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of such Shareholder's Securities during the Closing Voting Period, unless such transfer is made in compliance with the Stock Voting Agreement (the "STOP TRANSFER"). Pursuant to that certain Pledge Agreement by and between CRL and The Northern Trust Company, an Illinois banking corporation ("NORTHERN TRUST"), dated as of December 31, 1995, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the "CRL PLEDGE AGREEMENT"), CRL has pledged certain shares of Common Stock to Northern Trust ("CRL PLEDGED SHARES") in order to secure CRL's obligations under that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement by and between CRL and Northern Trust, dated as of December 9, 1993, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"). In addition, pursuant to that certain Pledge Agreement by and between Carroll and Northern Trust dated as of February 28, 2001, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the "CARROLL PLEDGE AGREEMENT"), Carroll has pledged certain shares of Common Stock to Northern Trust ("CARROLL PLEDGED SHARES"; together with the CRL Pledged Shares, the "PLEDGED SHARES") in order to secure Carroll's obligations under that certain Guaranty dated as of February 28, 2001 executed and delivered by Carroll to and in favor of Northern Trust, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the "GUARANTY"). Northern Trust has examined the Stock Voting Agreement and, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the CRL Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Carroll Pledge Agreement, the Guaranty, or any other agreement related thereto and delivered in connection therewith (collectively, the "LOAN AGREEMENTS"), effective as of the Effective Date, hereby approves of and authorizes: (i) the Vote and the Proxy, and hereby agrees to allow to be voted, in such manner as Carroll, CRL or KKTY shall direct, in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Voting Agreement, so many of the shares of Common Stock as are subject to the Loan Agreements; (ii) the Revocation, provided the Revocation operates only to revoke the proxy granted to Northern Trust with respect to matters relating to the Vote; and (iii) so long as no event of default or similar event shall have occurred under the Loan Agreements, the Stop Transfer, and hereby agrees during the Closing Voting Period not to request, or cause the Shareholders to request, Katy to register the transfer of any of the shares of Common Stock as are subject to the Loan Agreements in the name of Northern Trust or any other name, except as otherwise permitted by the Stock Voting Agreement. Northern Trust further agrees to cooperate with Carroll, CRL and the other Shareholders, at the expense of CRL and Carroll, in connection with their respective efforts to fulfill any other agreements and covenants set forth in the Stock Voting Agreement not inconsistent with the Loan Agreements and this Letter. CRL and Carroll hereby represent and warrant that neither of them, directly or indirectly, have received any consideration or remuneration in exchange for entering into the Stock Voting Agreement. Except with respect to the Vote and the Revocation only with respect to matters relating to the Vote, this Letter and the consents herein shall terminate and be deemed withdrawn automatically upon the expiration of the Closing Voting Period. Any failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an immediate event of default or default for purposes of the Loan Agreements, without Page 28 of 32 Pages further action or notice by Northern Trust and Northern Trust may declare all obligations under the Loan Agreements immediately due and payable. This Letter shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and other legal representatives of the parties hereto. This Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.
