      indebtedness represented by this Promissory Note and the payment of principal
      of

      written instruments, any capitalized lease obligation and any deferred
      obligation for payment of the purchase price of any property or assets. The
      Holders agree to furnish any holder of Senior Indebtedness upon request a
      subordination agreement that contains reasonably customary subordination
      provisions, consistent with the provisions of this Promissory Note, which
      subordination agreement may, without limitation (x) set forth the priority
      rights of the Holders and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, and
      (y) prohibit payments to the Holders that would cause a default under the
      Senior Indebtedness. In the event of and during the continuation of any default
      or event of default under any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace
      period with respect thereto, no payment shall be made by or on behalf of Maker,
      or demand made by or on behalf of the Holders, on this Promissory Note until
      the
      date, if any, on which such default or event of default is waived by the holders
      of such Senior Indebtedness or otherwise cured or has ceased to exist or the
      Senior Indebtedness to which such default or event of default relates is
      discharged by payment in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Paragraph
      or
      elsewhere in this Promissory Note shall prevent Maker, at any time except under
      the circumstances described in this Paragraph, from making regularly scheduled
      payments at any time of principal of or interest on this Promissory
      Note.

      conflicts of law doctrine and shall be binding upon the successors, endorsees

      assigns of Maker and inure to the benefit of the Holders, its successors,
      endorsees and permitted assigns. If any provision hereof is or becomes invalid
      or unenforceable under any law of mandatory application, it is the intent of
      Maker and the Holders that such provision will be deemed severed and omitted
      herefrom, the remaining portions hereof to remain in full force and effect
      as
      written.
