In consideration of
the Bank's extension or renewal of credit to the Borrowers, the Bank, the Creditor and the Borrowers agree as follows:


 


1.          Subordinated
Debt. All of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers or any of them to the Creditor, whether now existing
or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers to the Creditor
described in the attached Schedule "A", and all instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection therewith
(any promissory note evidencing such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Creditor is hereinafter referred to as, a "Subordinated
Note"), whether for principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses, and whether or not currently contemplated (regardless
of the extent to which such documents are enforceable against the Borrowers or any of them and regardless of the extent to which
such amounts are allowed as claims against the Borrowers or any of them, in each case, in any bankruptcy or other similar proceeding
relative to any Borrower, and including any interest accruing thereon after the date of filing any petition by or against any Borrower
in connection with any bankruptcy or other similar proceeding and any other interest that would have accrued thereon but for the
commencement of such proceeding) are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Subordinated Debt".


 


2.         Bank
Debt. All indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising,
including, without limitation, the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank under the Credit Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof, among the Bank and the Borrowers (such agreement, as it may from time to time be amended, modified
and/or supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the "Credit Agreement"), the Note and the Security Documents
(as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement and hereinafter referred to as the "Bank Security Documents")
and all other instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, whether for principal, interest, fees,
costs or expenses and whether or not currently contemplated (regardless of the extent to which such documents are enforceable against
the Borrowers or any of them and regardless of the extent to which such amounts are allowed as claims against the Borrowers or
any of them in any bankruptcy or other proceeding relative to any Borrower, and including any interest accruing thereon after the
date of filing any petition by or against any Borrower in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding and any other interest
that would have accrued thereon but for the commencement of such proceeding) are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Bank
Debt".


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


3.         Consent;
No Default. The Creditor hereby consents to and approves of the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of the
Credit Agreement and the Bank Security Documents, and all other instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith (the "Bank Loan Documents") and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any of the agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the Subordinated
Debt. The Borrowers and the Creditor represent and warrant to the Bank that as of the Effective Date, there does not exist any
default under the Subordinated Debt.


 


4.          Agreement
to Subordinate. The Creditor and the Borrowers agree that the payment of any and all Subordinated Debt is hereby expressly
subordinated to the prior payment of all Bank Debt to the extent and in the manner set forth herein.


 


5.         
Payment of Subordinated Debt Prohibited. Subject to subparagraph (c) below, until all Bank Debt shall have been paid in
full, no Borrower shall make and the Creditor shall not receive, accept or retain any direct or indirect payment or reduction (whether
by way of loan, set-off or otherwise) in respect of:


 


(a)          
(i) the principal of the Subordinated Debt, whether such principal of the Subordinated Debt shall have become payable on the maturity
of the installment or installments thereof provided for in the Subordinated Notes, by acceleration or otherwise; or (ii) the interest
on the Subordinated Debt accrued through the date hereof; and


 


(b)          Except
as provided in clause (ii) of Section 5(a) of this Agreement, the interest on the Subordinated Debt, whether such interest on the
Subordinated Debt shall have become payable on the date such payment of interest would (but for the terms hereof) be payable to
and received by the Creditor pursuant to the Subordinated Note (hereinafter referred to as a "Subordinated Debt Payment
Date"), by acceleration or otherwise if, on any such Subordinated Debt Payment Date:


 


(i)          an
Event of Default, as defined or specified in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter referred to as an "Event of Default"),
shall have occurred, shall be continuing and shall not have been specifically waived in writing by the Bank; or


 


(ii)         whether
or not an Event of Default shall be continuing on any Subordinated Debt Payment Date, the Bank, pursuant to the Credit Agreement
or the Note, shall have declared the Bank Debt or any portion thereof due and payable in full in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement and on the basis of any Event of Default and such acceleration shall not have been specifically rescinded in writing
by the Bank.


 


Scheduled payments of the interest on the
Subordinated Debt that are not prohibited under this Agreement from being made may be made (it being understood and agreed that
payment of all interest on the Subordinated Debt accrued through the date hereof shall be prohibited from being made), but only
upon, subject and pursuant to the terms and provisions, including the dates, amounts and rate of principal and interest payments,
as are set forth in the Subordinated Note as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that until the Bank Debt
shall have been paid in full, no Borrower shall make, and the Creditor shall not receive, accept or retain, any prepayment on account
of principal or interest on any of the Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of the Bank.

(c)         In
the event of (x) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement,
composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or other similar proceeding relative to any Borrower or its creditors, as
such, or its property, or (y) any proceeding for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up or bankruptcy proceedings,
then and in any such event:


 


(i)
           All of the Bank Debt shall first
be paid in full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, obligations or other property,
shall be made in respect of the Subordinated Debt;


 


(ii)            Any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, obligations or other property, that would otherwise
(but for the terms hereof) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt, shall be paid or delivered directly to
the Bank until all of the Bank Debt shall have been paid in full, and the Creditor, irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs
all receivers, custodians, trustees, liquidators, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments
and deliveries; and


 


(iii)           The Creditor will, upon the written request of the Bank, prove, enforce and endeavor to obtain payment of the aggregate
outstanding amount of all unpaid Subordinated Debt payments due and payable, or thereafter becoming due and payable from the Borrowers
to the Creditor, and will turn over to the Bank in precisely the form received, any payment of any kind or character on account
of such Subordinated Debt for application to the payment of any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of the Borrowers to the
Bank then existing.


 


(d)          Except
to the extent provided in this Agreement that the Subordinated Debt may not become due and payable or be paid, nothing contained
herein shall impair, as among the Borrowers and the Creditor, the obligation of the Borrowers, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the Creditor the principal of the Subordinated Notes, and interest thereon, as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms thereof, or prevent the Creditor upon default with respect to the Subordinated Debt, from
exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise provided therein or by applicable law, all subject to the rights of the holders
of Bank Debt hereunder.


 


6.         Post-Petition
Interest. Notwithstanding any statute, including, without limitation, the Federal Bankruptcy Code, any rule of law or bankruptcy
procedures to the contrary, the right of the Bank hereunder to have all of the Bank Debt paid and satisfied in full prior to the
payment of any of the Subordinated Debt shall include, without limitation, the right of the Bank to be paid in full all interest
accruing on the Bank Debt due to it after the filing of any petition by or against any Borrower in connection with any bankruptcy
or similar proceeding, whether or not a claim by the Bank for such post- petition interest is enforceable in such proceeding, prior
to the payment of any amounts in respect of the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, any interest due to the Creditor
accruing after such date.


 


7.          Reserved.


 


8.         Assignment
of Subordinated Debt and Collateral. To secure payment and performance of Bank Debt by the Borrowers, the Creditor hereby grants
the Bank a security interest in and assigns to the Bank all Subordinated Debt and all collateral of any kind and guarantees therefor
including all instruments evidencing Subordinated Debt. The Bank may file financing statements upon such collateral (if any) concerning
the security interest hereby created.


 


9.         Bank
Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Bank is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney- in-fact for the Creditor with full power to
act in stead of the Creditor to sign financing statements reflecting the assignment of Subordinated Debt and collateral and guarantees
therefor and to act in all matters concerning the Subordinated Debt including the right to make, present, file and vote proofs
of claim against any Borrower on account of all or part of the Subordinated Debt and receive and collect any dividends thereon,
foreclose under any mortgage or security agreements or otherwise take possession of and sell collateral and collect against any
guarantees and apply proceeds of such dividends, sale or collection to reduction of Subordinated Debt and to compromise or settle
any claim related thereto.

Notes or any other agreement, instrument or document executed and delivered in connection with the Subordinated Debt (hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "Subordinated Debt Documents"), the Creditor shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Bank, accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, or take any action towards collection

or other agreements entered into pursuant thereto, or applicable law, upon the occurrence of any event of default under and as

16.         Rights
of Subrogation. The Creditor agrees that no payment or distribution to Bank pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall
entitle the Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until Bank Debt is finally and unavoidably paid in
full.


 


17.         Representations,
Warranties and Covenants. The Creditor represents, warrants and covenants that now and until all Bank Debt is fully paid, the
Subordinated Debt shall not be subject to any set off, security interests, liens, charges, subordinations other than this Agreement,
assignments or encumbrances; is payable solely to the Creditor; is not and shall not be subject to any guaranty or surety; and
is not in default. The Creditor covenants and agrees that (i) it is the sole owner of the Subordinated Debt as of the Effective

Debt is due and payable according to its terms.


 


18.        Termination
of Subordination. This Agreement and the subordination granted herein shall terminate when Bank Debt is finally and unavoidably
paid. Bank Debt shall be deemed not to be paid in full, for purposes of this Agreement, so long as the Bank has any obligation
with respect to the Bank Debt, to make further advances to the Borrowers. However, this Agreement and the subordination granted
herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated if any payment of Bank Debt is rescinded, avoided, or for any reason returned
by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action as though such payment had not been made.


 


19.        Remedies.
If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any payment or distribution of any character (whether in cash, securities,
or other property) or any security shall be received by the Creditor in contravention of the terms of this Agreement and before
all Bank Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment, distribution or security (i) shall not be commingled with any asset of
the Creditor, shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and (ii) shall be paid over or delivered or transferred to, the Bank,
or its representative, for application to the payment of all Bank Debt remaining unpaid, until all of the Bank Debt shall have
been paid in full. Upon violation of this Agreement by the Creditor or any Borrower, the Bank may accelerate the maturity of Bank
Debt and Subordinated Debt so that all Bank Debt and Subordinated Debt is immediately due and payable. The Creditor shall pay to
Bank all sums received by the Creditor paid in violation of this Agreement, up to the amount of the Bank Debt and Bank shall have
all remedies of the Creditor against collateral for Subordinated Debt. The Bank is entitled to specific performance of this Agreement
and each Borrower and the Creditor waive any defense based upon adequacy of remedy at law which may be asserted as a bar to the
remedy of specific performance. No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any partial exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise of such or additional rights or remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative of any other remedies provided by
law or otherwise held against any Borrower.
