1.                                       The Creditor has extended and may in the
future extend credit to the Company from time to time.  The principal of all now existing and
hereafter arising indebtedness of the Company to the Creditor together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon is hereinafter referred to as the “Claims”.


 


2.                                       The Creditor is or will be the sole and
absolute owner of the Claims and has not sold, assigned, transferred or
otherwise disposed of any right it may have to repayment of the Claims or any
security therefor.


 


3.                                       The Claims and all rights and remedies of the
Creditor with respect thereto and any lien securing payment thereof are and
shall continue to be subject, subordinate and rendered junior in the right of
payment to the Senior Obligations, as the same may be extended, amended or
replaced from time to time.


 

















 


4.                                       The Company and the Creditor hereby agree
that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which has not been expressly
waived pursuant to the Credit Agreement, until the Senior Obligations are paid
in full and the Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans under the
Credit Agreement:


 


(a)                                  The Company will not make or give, and the
Creditor will not receive, directly or indirectly, any payment, advance, credit
or further security of any kind whatsoever on account of the Claims, or any new
or further evidence thereof;

or endorse the Claims or any part or evidence thereof;


 


(c)                                  The Creditor will not modify the Claims or
any part or evidence thereof; and


 


(d)                                 The Creditor will not take, or permit any
action to be taken, to assert, collect or enforce the Claims or any part
thereof.


 


5.                                       Each of the Company and the Creditor waives
notice of acceptance of this Subordination Agreement by the Lenders, and each
of the Creditor waives notice of and consent to the amount and terms of any
loan or loans which the Lenders may from time to time make to the Company and
any renewal or extension thereof and any action which the Lenders in their sole
and absolute discretion may take or omit to take with respect thereto.


 


6.                                       This Subordination Agreement shall constitute
a continuing agreement of subordination and the Lenders may, from time to time
and without notice to the Creditor, lend money to or make other financial
arrangements with the Company in reliance hereon until written notice of
termination shall be delivered by the Creditor to the Lenders by certified
mail, return receipt requested.  The
receipt by the Lenders of such notice shall not affect this Subordination
Agreement as it relates to any Senior Obligations then existing, to any Senior
Obligations incurred thereafter pursuant to a previous commitment by the
Lenders or to any amendments to, or extensions or renewals of, any such Senior
Obligations.


 


7.                                       In the event of a default in the performance
or observance of any of the foregoing, the Senior Obligations shall forthwith
become due and payable at the election of the Lenders, without presentment,
demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived.


 


8.                                       The Creditor agrees as follows:


 


(a)                                  Upon any distribution of all of the assets of
the Company to creditors of the Company upon the dissolution, winding up,
liquidation, arrangement, or reorganization of the Company, whether in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or receivership proceeding
or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of
the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, any payment or
distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) which
otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims
shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application
(in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or
securities)


 


2

















 


for,
the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior
Obligations shall have been paid in full.


 


(b)                                 If any proceeding referred to in
subsection (a) above is commenced by or against the Company:


 


(1)                                  The Lenders are hereby irrevocably authorized
and empowered (in their own name or in the name of the Creditor or otherwise),
but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every
payment or distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and give
acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other
action (including, without limitation, voting the Claims or enforcing any
security interest or other lien securing payment of the Claims) as the Lenders
may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the
rights or interests of the Lenders hereunder; and


 


(2)                                  The Creditor shall duly and promptly take
such action as the Lenders may request (i) to collect the Claims for account of
the Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the
Claims, (ii) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of
attorney, assignments, or other instruments as it may request in order to enable
it to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests
and other liens securing payment of, the Claims, and (iii) to collect and
receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or
deliverable upon or with respect to the Claims.


 


(c)                                  All payments or distributions upon or with
respect to the Claims which are received by the Creditor contrary to the
provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds and property held
by the Creditor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in
the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in
the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property
or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations.


 


(d)                                 The Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this
Subordination Agreement, whether or not the Company shall have complied with
any or all of the provisions hereof applicable to the Company, at any time when
the Creditor shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this
Subordination Agreement applicable to it.


 


9.                                       It is the intent of the Creditor to create by
this Subordination Agreement a security interest in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Claims and in the Creditor’s other
rights to receive money or other property from the Company, whether such rights
shall constitute accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, general
intangibles or otherwise.  The Creditor
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a
security interest in the Claims in order to secure the payment and performance
of the Creditor’ obligations pursuant to this Subordination Agreement.


 


10.                                 The Creditor authorizes the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders (whether or not after revocation of this Subordination
Agreement), without notice or demand (except as shall be 


 


3

















 


required
by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing
the Creditor’s obligations hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew,
compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for
payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Senior Obligations or any part
thereof, including without limitation to increase or decrease the rate of
interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Senior
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security;
(c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion may
determine; and (d) release and substitute any one or more endorsers,
warrantors, the Company or other obligors.


 


11.                                 This Subordination Agreement shall extend to
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.


 


12.                                 This Subordination Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one
agreement and any party hereto may execute this Subordination Agreement by
signing any such counterpart.


 


13.                                 This Subordination Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California without giving effect to its choice of law rules.

AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
