         This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D amends Items 4 and 7 of the

Ean Cohen ("Mr. Cohen"), Hamilton Sorter Co., Inc., an Ohio corporation

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction.

         On August 8, 2001, Hamilton Sorter accepted a proposal from
LaSalle National Bank ("LaSalle") pursuant to which LaSalle agreed to
provide a commit ment letter (the "Commitment Letter") to an affiliated
limited partnership of Hamilton Sorter to provide financing in connection
with the acquisition of the Corporation. Hamilton Sorter paid LaSalle a fee
of $50,000 in connection with its acceptance of such proposal. The
Commitment Letter, which is issuable by LaSalle upon the request of the
affiliated limited partnership and upon payment of an additional $50,000
commitment fee on or before October 31, 2001, provides, subject to certain
terms and conditions contained therein, that LaSalle will provide up to $24
million to finance a portion of the purchase price of the shares of the
Corporation and the working capital needs of the Corporation following its
acquisition. The commitment fee would be forfeited if no loans are made
under the Commitment Letter.

         The funding of the Commitment Letter is subject to certain
conditions including, among other things, satisfactory appraisal of the
Corporation's fixed assets, satisfactory completion of a field audit of the
Corporation's accounts receiv able and inventory, receipt of satisfactory
pro forma and projected financial state ments with respect to the
Corporation after giving effect to the proposed merger, and the receipt of
equity or subordinated debt financing of at least $2.5 million from
Hamilton Sorter, its affiliates or other persons or entities. Hamilton
Sorter and/or its affiliates will supply the equity or subordinated debt
portion of the purchase price.

         A copy of the form of Commitment Letter furnished by LaSalle is
attached hereto as an exhibit.

         On August 9, 2001, Mr. Jaroszewicz sent a letter to Hans A. Wolf,
Chairman of the Board of the Corporation, and Gary W. Ampulski, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, informing them as to the
status of LaSalle's agreement to provide a commitment letter with respect
to the financing of the acquisition of Tab. A copy of such letter is
attached hereto as an exhibit.

         As previously reported in this Item 4, Mr. Jaroszewicz will

Mr. Thaddeus S. Jaroszewicz
Hamilton Sorter Co., Inc.
3158 Production Drive
Fairfield, Ohio 45014

Dear Mr. Jaroszewicz:


               LaSalle Bank National Association ("Lender") is pleased to
commit to making certain loans and financial accommodations ("Loans") to
MSTP Limited Partnership, a limited partnership ("Company") of up to
Twenty-Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000), subject to the terms and
conditions specified below and in the definitive loan documentation.

               As we understand the proposed transaction, a portion of the
Loans will be used to (a) acquire the stock of Tab Products Corp. ("Tab")
(which will be merged into Company) and (b) provide the Company with
additional working capital. All references to the collateral shall mean the
assets of Company and Tab.

               1. REVOLVING LOANS - Lender may, in its sole discretion,
advance an amount up to the sum of the following sublimits (the "Revolving
Loan Limit"):

               (a) Up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the face amount (less
         maximum discounts, credits and allowances which may be taken by or
         granted to account debtors in connection therewith in the ordinary
         course of Company's business) of Company's "Eligible Accounts";
         plus

               (b) Up to sixty percent (60%) of the lower of the cost or
         market value of Company's "Eligible Inventory" or Four Million and
         No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000), whichever is less; less

               (c) Such reserves as Lender may establish from time to time
         in its discretion including, without limitation, a reserve in an
         amount determined by Lender to be sufficient to satisfy any
         obligations to make payments in respect of the exercise of
         appraisal rights by any non-tendering shareholders of Tab.

               2. TERM LOANS - Lender may, in it sole discretion, advance
the following amounts:

               (a) Up to eighty percent (80%) of the forced liquidation
         value of Company's equipment (as determined by an appraiser
         acceptable to Lender) or Three Million and No/100 Dollars
         ($3,000,000), whichever is less (the "Term Loan"); plus

               (b) Up to eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price of the
         equipment purchased with such advances (exclusive of sales taxes,
         delivery charges and other "soft" costs related to such
         purchases), to be used by Company from time to time to purchase
         new equipment, or Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000),
         whichever is less (the "CAPEX Loans"); provided, that prior to any
         advance under this subparagraph, Company shall furnish to Lender
         an invoice and acceptance letter for the equipment being purchased
         and shall have executed such documents and taken such other
         actions as Lender shall require to assure that Lender has a first
         perfected security interest in such equipment.

               3. TERM LOAN REPAYMENTS

               (a) Commencing thirty (30) days from the date of
         disbursement of the Loans under the Loan and Security Agreement,
         the Term Loan shall be repaid by an amount based upon a schedule
         of sixty (60) equal monthly payments. Such repayments shall be due
         and payable every month thereafter until the earliest to occur of
         (i) the date on which the Term Loan shall be repaid in full, and
         (ii) the date upon which the Loan and Security Agreement otherwise
         terminates pursuant to the provisions thereof on which date the
         remaining principal balance shall be due and payable.

               (b) Company shall repay to Lender monthly an amount
         sufficient (assuming a like payment each month) to repay the
         entire principal amount of each CAPEX Loan advance above within
         sixty (60) months following the date of such advance. Such
         payments shall be made on the thirtieth (30th) day following the
         date of each such advance, and on the corresponding day of each
         month thereafter until the earliest to occur of (i) the date upon
         which each such advance is repaid in full, and (ii) the date upon
         which the Loan and Security Agreement otherwise terminates
         pursuant to the provisions thereof on which date the remaining
         principal balance shall be repaid in full.

               4. LETTERS OF CREDIT - Lender is willing to cause the
issuance of and co-sign for, upon Company's request, commercial and standby
letters of credit, provided, that the aggregate undrawn face amount of such
letters of credit shall not exceed One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000), in the aggregate. Company shall pay the issuer's normal
charges for letters of credit, and in addition thereto, shall pay to Lender
an administrative charge equal to one-fourth of one percent (1/4 of 1%) per
month payable on the outstanding amount of such letters of credit, which
charges shall be payable monthly in arrears on each day that interest is
payable. Lender's contingent liability under the letters of credit shall
automatically reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount which Company may
borrow pursuant to Paragraph 1 above.

               5. INTEREST RATE - The Loans shall bear interest at the rate
of three-quarter of one percent (0.75%) per annum in excess of the publicly
announced prime rate of LaSalle Bank National Association (which is not
intended to be LaSalle Bank National Association's lowest or most favorable
rate in effect at any time) (the "Prime Rate") in effect from time to time,
and shall be due and payable on the last business day of each month in
arrears. Said rate of interest shall increase or decrease by an amount
equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the
effective date of each such change in the Prime Rate. Upon the occurrence
of an event of default the Loans shall bear interest at a rate of two
percent (2%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable
thereon, which interest shall be payable on demand. All interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year.

               6. TERM OF LOAN - The original term of the Loans shall end
on March 31, 2004. The Loan and Security Agreement shall automatically
renew itself from year to year thereafter if neither party terminates it as
set forth therein.

               7. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA - Company's accounts and inventory
shall be subject to such eligibility criteria and reserves as Lender, in
its sole discretion elects to establish including, without limitation, with
respect to Company's accounts the following:

               (a) Invoices evidencing such accounts shall be due and
         payable within ninety (90) days after the date of invoice;
         provided, however, that if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
         the aggregate dollar amount of invoices owing by a particular
         account debtor remain unpaid ninety (90) days after the respective
         invoice dates thereof, then all accounts receivable due from that
         particular account debtor shall be deemed ineligible.

               8. LOAN COLLATERAL

               (a) A first and only lien on all of Company's assets,
         tangible or intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by
         Company, and wherever located, including, but not limited to
         accounts, inventory, instruments, investment property, documents,

         Guarantors to grant to Lender a perfected security interest in and

         secure such guaranties.

               (c) A first mortgage, in form and substance satisfactory to

Mr. Hans A. Wolf,
Chairman of the Board

Mr. Gary W. Ampulski,
President and Chief Executive Officer
Tab Products Co.
935 Lakeview Parkway, Suite 195
Vernon Hills, Illinois  60061

Dear Hans and Gary:

The Board of Directors and management of Tab Products, Inc. ("Tab") have
stated they will not enter into discussions concerning the proposal made by
one of our affiliates to acquire Tab in a cash merger at a price of $5 per
share. Tab's Board has cited the financing and due diligence conditions in
our offer, asserting that such conditions are not customary and are
impediments to the Board's willingness to enter into good faith acquisition
discussions.

This letter addresses these issues.

With respect to financing, LaSalle National Bank ("LaSalle") has agreed,
upon our payment of a $50,000 commitment fee, to provide us with a
commitment letter, issuable on or before October 31, 2001, for the bank
financing necessary to acquire Tab. A copy of the form of commitment letter
furnished by LaSalle is attached hereto. Such commitment fee would be
forfeited by us if no loans are made under the commitment letter.
Understandably, given Tab's decision not to enter into good faith
discussions, we have not yet accepted the commitment letter. However,
LaSalle's agreement to issue the commitment letter should alleviate any
possible concerns on the part of Tab's Board as to our ability to finance
our acquisition proposal.

With respect to due diligence, we are prepared immediately to commence our
due diligence review, subject to the terms of a mutually acceptable
confidentiality agreement. The due diligence review could be completed
expeditiously. We are already thoroughly acquainted with Tab's publicly
available information, and are prepared to exert considerable energies in
conducting an efficient, unobtrusive and rapid due diligence investigation.
As you will note from LaSalle's form of commitment letter, they are
interested in conducting a standard field audit of Tab's accounts
receivable and inventory, conducting an appraisal of Tab's fixed assets,
and in assuring themselves that Tab has no outstanding environmental issues
that may become liabilities in the future.

With any possible concerns on the part of Tab's Board as to our ability to
finance the acquisition being addressed, and with Tab's willingness to
permit us and LaSalle to conduct an immediate due diligence review, these
two issues will be removed from the table. Then, if we are unable to reach
an agreement regarding our acquisition proposal, Tab stockholders will be
able to make an informed voting decision on the merits of our proposal,
without the assertion that our proposal is not bona fide.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely,


/s/ Thaddeus S. Jaroszewicz
