    2.3  Proceedings.  In
      the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship,
      liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other
      proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor
      or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties (a “Proceeding”):

     

    (i)           the
      Lenders shall be entitled to receive Payment in Full in cash of the Senior
      Indebtedness before any Subordinated Creditor is entitled to receive any payment
      upon the Subordinated Indebtedness, and Lenders shall be entitled to receive
      for
      application in payment of such Senior Indebtedness any payment or distribution
      of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities or by set-off
      or otherwise, which may be payable or deliverable in any such Proceedings in
      respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness;

     

    (ii)           any
      payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor of any kind or character,
      whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which
      any
      Subordinated Creditor would be entitled pursuant to the Subordinated
      Indebtedness but for the provisions hereof shall be paid by the liquidating
      trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether
      a
      trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly
      to the Lenders until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full,
      and
      each Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that such payment or
      distribution may, particularly with respect to interest on Senior Indebtedness
      after the commencement of a Proceeding, result in such Subordinated Creditor
      receiving less than it would otherwise receive;

     

    (iii)          each
      Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably (x) authorizes, empowers and directs
      all receivers, trustees, debtors in possession, liquidators, custodians,
      conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such
      payments and deliveries, and each Subordinated Creditor also irrevocably
      authorizes, empowers and directs, the Agent and the Lenders until the Senior
      Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full, to demand, sue for, collect and
      receive every such payment or distribution, and (y) agrees to execute and
      deliver to the Agent and the Lenders all such further instruments confirming
      the
      authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (x); and

     

    (iv)           each
      Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints
      Agent
      and the Lenders (until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full)
      as
      its agent and attorney in fact to (x) execute, verify, deliver and file such
      proofs of claim upon the failure of any Subordinated Creditor promptly to do
      so
      (and in any event prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time
      to
      file any proof) and (y) vote such claims in any such Proceeding; provided that
      no holder of Senior Indebtedness shall have any obligation to execute, verify,
      deliver and/or file any such proof of claim or vote such claim.  In
      the event the

     


    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    Agent
      or
      any Lender (or any agent, designee or nominee thereof) votes any claim in
      accordance with the authority granted hereby, such Subordinated Creditor shall
      not be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.

     

    The
      Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and
      the
      provisions hereof shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities
      of
      Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior
      Indebtedness or the security interests securing the Senior Indebtedness are
      subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such
      Proceeding and the provisions hereof shall be reinstated if at any time any
      payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be
      returned by Agent, any Lender or any agent, designee or nominee of such
      holder.

     

    2.4  Incorrect
      Payments.  If any payment (whether made in cash,
      securities or other property) not permitted under this Agreement is received
      by
      any Subordinated Creditor on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness before
      all
      Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment shall not be commingled with
      any asset of such Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by such
      Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Lenders and shall promptly be
      paid
      over to the Lenders, or their respective designated representatives, for
      application (in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the
      Permitted Refinancing Loan Documents) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness
      then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in
      Full.

     

    2.5  Sale,
      Transfer.  No Subordinated Creditor shall sell, assign,
      dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated
      Indebtedness or any Subordinated Note or other Subordinated Indebtedness
      Document (a) without giving prior written notice of such action to Agent, (b)
      unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof
      shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders a joinder to this Agreement,
      or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement and acceptable to
      Agent and the Lenders, in either case providing for the continued subordination
      and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness
      as
      provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of
      Agent and Lenders arising under this Agreement and (c) unless following such
      sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer, there shall either
      be
      (i) no more than two more than the number of  holders of Subordinated
      Indebtedness on the date hereof or (ii) one Person acting as agent for all
      holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably
      satisfactory to Agent, such that any notices and communications to be delivered
      to Subordinated Creditors hereunder and any consents required by Subordinated
      Creditors shall be made to or obtained from such agent and shall be binding
      on
      each Subordinated Creditor as if directly obtained from such Subordinated
      Creditor.  In the event of a permitted sale, assignment, disposition
      or other transfer, each Subordinated Creditor engaging in such sale, assignment,
      disposition or other transfer, prior to the consummation of any such action,
      shall cause the transferee thereof to execute and deliver to Agent and the
      Lenders a joinder to this Agreement, or an agreement substantially identical
      to
      this Agreement and acceptable to the Lenders, in either case providing for
      the
      continued subordination and forbearance of the

    Subordinated
      Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued
      effectiveness of all of the rights of Lenders and Agent arising under this
      Agreement.  Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such
      agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment,
      disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated
      Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the
      successors and assigns of each Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section
      10
      below.

     

    2.6  Legends.  Until
      the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, each of the Subordinated Indebtedness
      Documents at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner the following
      legend:

     

    “This

      Promissory Note ] and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are subordinate in
      the

      therein, and Promethean Asset Management L.L.C., to the Senior Indebtedness
      (as
      defined in the Subordination Agreement); and each holder of this Promissory
      Note, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the provisions of the
      Subordination Agreement.”

      Loan
      Documents or the Permitted Refinancing Loan Documents to the contrary, no
      Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, agree
      to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Indebtedness
      Documents, the effect of which is to (i) increase the maximum principal amount

      alter the repayment terms of the Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner adverse

      of
      any Obligor, or (ix) change or amend any other term of the Subordinated
      Indebtedness Documents if such change or amendment would increase the
      obligations of any Obligor or confer additional material rights on
      any

      bankruptcy or the taking advantage of any other insolvency law of any
      jurisdiction (any of the foregoing, an “Enforcement
      Action”).  If any Subordinated Creditor shall attempt to take
      any Enforcement Action or otherwise seek to collect or realize upon any of
      the
      Subordinated Indebtedness in violation of the terms hereof, the holders of
      the
      Senior Indebtedness may, by virtue of the terms hereof, restrain any such
      Enforcement Action or other action, either in its own name or in the name of
      the
      applicable Obligor.

     

    (c)           Until
      the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, any Liens of Subordinated Creditors
      in
      the Collateral which may exist in breach of each Subordinated Creditor's
      agreement pursuant to subsection 2.7(a)(vii) or Section 18 of this Agreement
      shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to
      the
      Liens of Agent and Lenders in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner
      or
      order of perfection of any such Liens.  In the event that any
      Subordinated Creditor obtains any Liens in the Collateral in violation of
      subsection 2.7(a)(vii) or Section 18 of this Agreement, Subordinated Creditors
      (i) shall (or shall cause their agent to) promptly execute and deliver to Agent
      such termination statements and releases as Agent shall request to effect the
      release of the Liens of such Subordinated Creditor in such Collateral and (ii)
      shall be deemed to have authorized Agent to file any and all termination
      statements required by Agent in respect of such Liens. In furtherance of the
      foregoing, each Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its
      attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
      Subordinated Creditor and in the name of such Subordinated Creditor or
      otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which such
      Subordinated Creditor may be required to deliver pursuant to this subsection
      2.7(c).

    (a)

      terms of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights
      and
      the obligations of Subordinated Creditors, Agent and Lenders arising hereunder,
      shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent
      by:
      (i) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Purchase Agreement,
      any other Loan Document or any Permitted Refinancing Loan Document or any
      Subordinated Indebtedness Document; (ii) the validity or enforceability of
      any
      of such documents; or (iii) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power
      or
      remedy under or in respect of the

    Senior
      Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness or any of the instruments or
      documents referred to in clause (i) above.

     

    (b)  Agent
      and Lenders may at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion,
      renew, amend, refinance, extend or otherwise modify the terms and provisions
      of
      Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the terms and provisions
      relating to the principal amount outstanding thereunder, the rate of interest
      thereof, the payment terms thereof and the provisions thereof regarding default
      or any other matter) or exercise (or refrain from exercising) any of their
      rights under the Loan Documents, all without notice to or consent from the
      Subordinated Creditors and without incurring liability to any Subordinated
      Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Subordinated
      Creditor under this Agreement.  No compromise, alteration, amendment,
      renewal, restatement, refinancing or other change of, or waiver, consent or
      other action in respect of any liability or obligation under or in respect
      of,
      any terms, covenants or conditions of Senior Indebtedness or the Loan Documents,
      whether or not in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indebtedness,
      shall in any way alter or affect any of the subordination provisions
      hereof.

    


    4.  Representations
      and
      Warranties.

     

    (a)           Each
      Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and not
      as to
      any other Subordinated Creditor) to Agent and Lenders as follows:

     

    4.1  Existence
      and
      Power.  If an entity, such Subordinated Creditor is duly
      organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state
      of
      its organization.

     

    4.2  Authority.  Such
      Subordinated Creditor has full power and authority to enter into, execute,
      deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to incur the obligations
      provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and
      necessary action and are not prohibited by the organizational documents of
      such
      Subordinated Creditor.

     

    4.3  Binding
      Agreements.  This Agreement, when executed and
      delivered, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such
      Subordinated Creditor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     

    4.4  Conflicting
      Agreements;
      Litigation.  No provisions of any mortgage, indenture,
      contract, agreement, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order
      binding on such Subordinated Creditor or affecting the property of such
      Subordinated Creditor conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not
      already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery
      or performance of the terms of this Agreement.  The execution,
      delivery and carrying out of the terms of this Agreement will not constitute
      a
      default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to
      create, any Lien upon the property of such Subordinated Creditor pursuant to
      the
      terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement.  No
      pending or, to the best of such

     


    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Subordinated
      Creditor’s knowledge, threatened, litigation, arbitration or other proceedings
      if adversely determined would in any way prevent the performance of the terms
      of
      this Agreement.

     

    4.5  No
      Divestiture.  On the date hereof, such Subordinated
      Creditor which is signatory hereto is the current owner and holder of its
      Subordinated Note and all other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents (if
      any).

     

    4.6  Default
      under Subordinated
      Indebtedness Documents.  On the date hereof, no default
      exists under or with respect to the Subordinated Note held by Subordinated
      Creditor or any of the other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents applicable
      to
      such Subordinated Note.

     

    (b)           Each
      Obligor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that the signatory
      to this Agreement under the heading “Subordinated Creditor” constitutes the only
      holder of the Subordinated Note and the other Subordinated
      Indebtedness.

     

    5.  Cumulative
      Rights, No
      Waivers.  Each and every right, remedy and power granted
      to Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
      right, remedy or power specifically granted herein, in the Purchase Agreement,
      the other Loan Documents or Permitted Refinancing Loan Documents or now or
      hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, and
      may
      be exercised by Agent or Lenders, from time to time, concurrently or
      independently and as often and in such order as Agent or Lenders may deem
      expedient.  Any failure or delay on the part of Agent or Lenders in
      exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance
      of
      steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect
      Agent’s or Lenders’ right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or
      partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any
      other
      or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power,
      and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of Agent’s
      or Lenders’ rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of
      dealing or performance among the parties hereto.

     

    6.  Modification.  Any
      modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to
      any
      departure by Agent or any Subordinated Creditor therefrom, shall not be
      effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Agent and
      the
      holders of at least 51% of the then outstanding principal balance of the
      Subordinated Note and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be
      effective only in the specific instance and for the specific instance and for
      the specific purpose given.  Any notice to or demand on any
      Subordinated Creditor in any event not specifically required of Agent hereunder
      shall not entitle any Subordinated Creditor to any other or further notice
      or
      demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required
      hereunder.

     

    7.  Additional
      Documents and
      Actions.  Each Subordinated Creditor at any time, and
      from time to time, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, upon
      the
      request of Agent and at the expense of Borrower, will promptly execute and
      deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Agent
      may
      request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.

    9.  Severability.  In
      the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid by reason
      of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon
      by
      any court or governmental authority, this Agreement shall be construed as not
      containing such provision and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect
      the validity of any other provisions hereof, and any and all other provisions
      hereof which otherwise are lawful and valid shall remain in full force and
      effect.

     

    10.  Successors
      and
      Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
      the successors and assigns of Agent and Lenders and shall be binding upon the
      successors and assigns of Subordinated Creditors and Obligors.

     

    11.  Counterparts.  This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
      shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
      counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party;
      provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall
      be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if
      the
      signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

     

    12.  Defines
      Rights of Creditors;
      Subrogation.

     

    (a)  The
      provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative
      rights of Subordinated Creditors, Agent and Lenders and shall not be deemed
      to
      (i) create any rights or priorities in favor of any other Person, including,
      without limitation, any Obligor, (ii) amend any of the Loan Documents or in
      any
      way waive any of the rights that the Agent and the Lenders have against any
      Obligor under the Loan Documents, or (iii) waive any Event of Default or
      Triggering Event under any of the Loan Documents.

     

    (b)  Subject
      to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, in the event and to the
      extent cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
      holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have been applied pursuant to
      this Agreement to the payment of Senior Indebtedness, then and in each such
      event, the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subrogated to the
      rights of each holder

     


    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    of
      Senior
      Indebtedness to receive any further payment or distribution in respect of or
      applicable to the Senior Indebtedness; and, for the purposes of such
      subrogation, no payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
      of
      any cash, property or securities to which any holder of Subordinated
      Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement
      shall, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to
      the
      holders of Senior Indebtedness by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness
      shall, as between any Obligor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
      Indebtedness and the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness, be deemed to be
      a
      payment by such Obligor to or on account of Senior Indebtedness.

     

    13.  Conflict.  In
      the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this
      Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Subordinated
      Indebtedness Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and
      govern.  For purposes of this Section 13, to the extent that any
      provisions of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents provide rights,
      remedies and benefits to Agent or Lenders that exceed the rights, remedies
      and
      benefits provided to Agent or Lenders under this Agreement, such provisions
      of
      the applicable Subordinated Indebtedness Documents shall be deemed to supplement
      (and not to conflict with) the provisions hereof.

     

    14.  Statement
      of Indebtedness to
      Subordinated Creditors.  Borrower will furnish to Agent
      upon demand, a statement of the indebtedness owing from Obligors to Subordinated
      Creditors, and will give Agent access to the books of Obligors in accordance
      with the Purchase Agreement so that Agent can make a full examination of the
      status of such indebtedness.

     

    15.  Headings.  The
      paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall
      not
      affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

     

    16.  Termination.  This
      Agreement shall terminate upon the Payment in Full of the Senior
      Indebtedness.

     

    17.  Subordinated
      Default
      Notice.  Subordinated Creditors and Borrower each shall
      provide Agent with a Subordinated Default Notice upon the occurrence of each
      Subordinated Default, and Subordinated Creditors shall notify Agent in the
      event
      such Subordinated Default is cured or waived.

     

    18.  No
      Contest of Senior
      Indebtedness or Liens; No Security for Subordinated
      Indebtedness.  Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it
      will not, and will not encourage any other Person to, at any time, contest
      the
      validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness
      or
      Liens in the Collateral granted to Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the

    the
      internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice
      of
      law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York
      or
      any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
      jurisdiction other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby
      irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
      courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the
      adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
      transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
      waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
      that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
      such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
      the
      venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party
      hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
      being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
      to
      such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
      that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
      notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in
      any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
      law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND
      AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE
      HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
      TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     

    20.  Waiver
      of
      Consolidation.  Each Subordinated Creditor acknowledges
      and agrees that (i) Obligors are each separate and distinct entities; and (ii)
      it will not at any time insist upon, plead or seek advantage of any substantive
      consolidation, piercing the corporate veil or any other order or judgment that
      causes an effective combination of the assets and liabilities of Obligors in
      any
      case or proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code or other similar
      proceeding.
