      A. The Company, Agent and Senior Lenders (as hereinafter defined) have
entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as
the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Senior Credit Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Senior
Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior
Credit Agreement, to make certain loans and financial accommodations to the
Company. Pursuant to a certain Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of
February 11, 2002 (as the same has heretofore been and may now or hereafter be
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Senior
Guarantee"), Holdings has guaranteed payment and performance of the Company's
obligations to Agent and Senior Lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement. All
of the Company's obligations to Agent and Senior Lenders under the Senior Credit
Agreement and the other Senior Debt Documents (as hereinafter defined) are
secured by liens on and security interests in substantially all of the now
existing and hereafter acquired real and personal property of the Company and
certain real and personal property of the other Credit Parties (as hereinafter
defined) (collectively, the "Collateral").

      B. The Company and Subordinated Creditors have entered into a Purchase
Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time as permitted hereunder, the "Subordinated
Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company is issuing its 17% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2009 of even date herewith in the aggregate principal
amount of $6,500,000 (as any of the same may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time as permitted hereunder, the "Subordinated
Notes"). In addition, from time to time pursuant to the terms of the
Subordinated Notes, the Company may issue to Subordinated Creditors additional
notes in respect of interest accrued and unpaid in respect of the Subordinated
Notes, each in a form substantially similar to the form of the Subordinated
Notes (collectively, the "Subordinated PIK Notes"). Holdings has executed and
delivered to Subordinated Creditors a guarantee of even date herewith (as the
same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time as
permitted hereunder, the "Subordinated Guarantee"), pursuant to which Holdings
has guaranteed payment and performance of the Company's obligations to each
<PAGE>
Subordinated Creditor under the Purchase Agreement and the applicable

agreement of Agent and Senior Lenders to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Senior Credit Agreement, Agent and Senior Lenders have
required the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Subordinated Creditors,
the Company and Holdings in order to set forth the relative rights and

      2.2. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, BANKRUPTCY. In the event of any Proceeding
involving any Credit Party:

            (a) All Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash (or another
      form acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all commitments to lend under
      the Senior Debt Documents shall be terminated before any Distribution,
      whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any
      Subordinated Creditor on account of any Subordinated Debt (other than a
      distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities if Subordinated
      Creditors and Agent shall have entered into such supplements to or
      modifications to this Agreement as Agent may reasonably request to reflect
      the continued subordination of the Reorganization Subordinated Securities
      to the Senior Debt (or notes or other securities issued in substitution of
      all or a portion thereof) to the same extent as provided herein).

            (b) Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property
      which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable
      in respect of the Subordinated Debt (other than a distribution of
      Reorganization Subordinated Securities if Subordinated Creditors and Agent
      shall have entered into such supplements to or modifications to this
      Agreement as Agent may reasonably request to reflect the continued

      Debt (or notes or other securities issued in substitution of all or a
      portion thereof) to the same extent as provided herein) shall be paid or
      delivered directly to Agent (to be held and/or applied by Agent in
      accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents) until all Senior
      Debt is paid in full in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior
      Lenders) and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall
      have been terminated. Each Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes,
      empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee,
      liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to
      hold in trust and pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to Agent
      (other than any Distribution constituting a Permitted Subordinated Debt
      Payment that was received by such Subordinated Creditor prior to the
      commencement of the applicable Proceeding). Each Subordinated Creditor
      also irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, in the name of such
      Subordinated Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all
      such Distributions (other than a distribution of Reorganization
      Subordinated Securities if Subordinated Creditors and Agent shall have
      entered into such supplements to or modifications to this Agreement as
      Agent may reasonably request to reflect the continued subordination of the
      Reorganization Subordinated Securities to the Senior Debt (or notes or
      other securities issued in substitution of all or a portion thereof) to
      the same extent as provided herein).

            (c) Each Subordinated Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or
      participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
      enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Senior Debt, the
      Senior Debt Documents or any liens and security interests in property
      securing the Senior Debt.

            (d) Following the payment in full in cash (or another form
      acceptable to the Senior Lenders) of the Senior Debt and the termination
      of all commitments to lender under the Senior Debt Documents, any
      Distribution which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the
      Subordinated Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to any Subordinated
      Creditor for application in satisfaction of the Subordinated Debt until
      such time as all the Subordinated Debt shall have been paid in full in
      cash.

            (e) Each Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver
      and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt requested
      by Agent in connection with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably
      authorizes, empowers and appoints Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to
      (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the
      failure of such Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so prior to 15 days
      before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim and (ii)
      vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of such
      Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to 10 days before the expiration of
      the time to vote any such claim; provided Agent shall have no obligation
      to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In
      the event that Agent votes any claim in accordance with the authority
      granted hereby, the applicable Subordinated Creditor shall not be entitled
      to change or withdraw such vote.

            (f) The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and
      the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative
      rights and priorities of Senior Lenders and each Subordinated Creditor
      even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security interests securing
      the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or
      disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Agreement
      shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt
      is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or
      any representative of such holder.

      2.3. SUBORDINATED DEBT PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS.

            (a) Notwithstanding the terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents,
      each of the Company and Holdings hereby agrees that it may not make, and
      each Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that it will not accept, any
      Distribution with respect to the Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt
      is paid in full in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders)
      and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have
      terminated, other than Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments subject to the
      terms of subsection 2.2 of this Agreement and other than Special Permitted
      Subordinated Debt Payments to the extent described in subsections 2.3(d)

      Subordinated Creditor further agree that no Permitted Subordinated Debt
      Payment may be made by the Company or Holdings or accepted by such
      Subordinated Creditor if, at the time of such payment:

                  (i) a Senior Payment Default exists; unless and until either
            (A) such Senior Payment Default has been cured or waived or (B) the
            Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash (or another form
            acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all commitments to lend under
            the Senior Debt Documents have been terminated; or

                  (ii) subject to paragraph (d) of this subsection 2.3, the
            Company and such Subordinated Creditor shall have received a Senior
            Default Notice from Agent or all Senior Lenders stating that a
            Senior Covenant Default exists or would be created by the making of
            such payment; unless and until either (A) each such Senior Covenant
            Default has been cured or waived, (B) the Senior Debt has been paid
            in full in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders)
            and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have
            been terminated or (C) 180 days have elapsed since the date such
            Senior Default Notice was received.

            (b) The Company and Holdings may resume Permitted Subordinated Debt
      Payments (and may make any Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments missed due
      to the application of paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.3) in respect of
      the Subordinated Debt or any judgment with respect thereto:

                  (i) in the case of a Senior Payment Default referred to in
            clause (i) of paragraph (a) this subsection 2.3, upon (A) a cure or
            waiver thereof or (B) the payment of the Senior Debt in full in cash
            (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and the
            termination of all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt
            Documents; or

                  (ii) in the case of a Senior Covenant Default referred to in
            clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.3, upon the
            earliest to occur of (A) the cure or waiver of all such Senior
            Covenant Defaults, (B) the payment of the Senior Debt in full in
            cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and the
            termination of all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt
            Documents or (C) the expiration of such period of 180 days.

            (c) No Senior Default shall be deemed to have been waived for
      purposes of this subsection 2.3 unless and until the Company and Holdings
      shall have received a written waiver from Agent or all Senior Lenders.

                                      -9-

            (d) The Company and Holdings may make, and each Subordinated
      Creditor may accept, Special Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments;
      provided, however, that the Company, Holdings and each Subordinated
      Creditor further agree that no Special Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment
      may be made by the Company or Holdings or accepted by such Subordinated
      Creditor if, at the time of such payment:

                  (i) a Senior Payment Default exists; unless and until either
            (A) such Senior Payment Default has been cured or waived or (B) the
            Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash (or another form
            acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all commitments to lend under
            the Senior Debt Documents have been terminated;

                  (ii) the Company and such Subordinated Creditor shall have
            received a Senior Default Notice from Agent or all Senior Lenders
            stating that a Senior Covenant Default exists or would be created by
            the making of such payment; unless and until either (A) each such
            Senior Covenant Default has been cured or waived or (B) the Senior
            Debt has been paid in full in cash (or another form acceptable to
            the Senior Lenders) and all commitments to lend under the Senior
            Debt Documents have been terminated; or

                  (iii) immediately after giving effect to such Special
            Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment, Borrowing Availability shall
            exceed Revolving Outstandings by at least $4,000,000.

      If a Special Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment is not permitted to be
      made by operation of this subsection 2.3(d), payment of such Special
      Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment shall be postponed until the maturity
      date of the Subordinated Debt.

            (e) In the event that a Special Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment
      is not made when due for any reason, Holdings shall be permitted to issue
      to the Subordinated Creditor the "Initial AHYDO Warrants" or the
      "Subsequent AHYDO Warrants" (in each case as defined in the Purchase
      Agreement, as it exists on the date hereof), as applicable, pursuant to
      Section 7.14 of the Purchase Agreement, as it exists on the date hereof.

            (f) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 2.3 to the
      contrary:

                  (i) neither the Company nor Holdings shall be prohibited from
            making, and no Subordinated Creditor shall be prohibited from
            receiving, Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments under clause (ii) of
            paragraph (a) of this subsection 2.3 for more than an aggregate of
            180 days within any period of 360 consecutive days;

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
                  (ii) no Senior Covenant Default existing on the date any
            Senior Default Notice is given pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph
            (a) or clause (ii) of paragraph (b) of this subsection 2.3 shall,
            unless the same shall have ceased to exist for a period of at least
            90 consecutive days, be used as a basis for any subsequent Senior
            Default Notice (for purposes of this paragraph, breaches of the same
            financial covenant for consecutive periods shall constitute separate
            and distinct Senior Covenant Defaults); and

                  (iii) the failure of the Company or Holdings to make any
            Distribution with respect to the Subordinated Debt by reason of the
            operation of this subsection 2.3 shall not be construed as
            preventing the occurrence of a Subordinated Debt Default under the
            applicable Subordinated Debt Documents; provided, that the failure
            of the Company or Holdings to make a Special Permitted Subordinated
            Debt Payment for any reason shall not constitute a Subordinated Debt
            Default under the Subordinated Debt Documents; provided, further,
            however that the failure of Holdings to timely issue the Initial
            AHYDO Warrants or the Subordinated AHYDO Warrants, if applicable,
            pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as it exists on the
            date hereof) shall constitute a Subordinated Debt Default under the
            Senior Debt Documents.

      2.4. SUBORDINATED DEBT STANDSTILL PROVISIONS.

            (a) Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (or another form
      acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all commitments to lend under the
      Senior Debt Documents shall be terminated, no Subordinated Creditor shall,
      without the prior written consent of Agent, take any Enforcement Action
      with respect to the Subordinated Debt, until the earliest to occur of the
      following and in any event no earlier than ten (10) days after Agent's
      receipt of written notice of such Subordinated Creditor's intention to
      take any such Enforcement Action:

                  (i) acceleration of the Senior Debt;

                  (ii) the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period; or

                  (iii) the commencement of a Proceeding.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each Subordinated Creditor may file
      proofs of claim against any Credit Party in any Proceeding involving such
      Credit Party and (B) each Subordinated Creditor may take such action as is
      available to such Subordinated Creditor to enforce issuance of the Initial
      AHYDO Warrants and/or the Subsequent AHYDO Warrants, if applicable, as
      required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Any Distributions or other

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
      proceeds of any Enforcement Action obtained by any Subordinated Creditor
      shall in any event be held in trust by it for the benefit of Agent and
      Senior Lenders and promptly paid or delivered to Agent for the benefit of
      Senior Lenders in the form received until all Senior Debt is paid in full
      in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all
      commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been
      terminated.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
      following the acceleration of the Senior Debt by Senior Lenders such
      acceleration is rescinded (whether or not any existing Senior Default has
      been cured or waived), then all Enforcement Actions taken by any
      Subordinated Creditor shall likewise be rescinded if such Enforcement
      Action is based solely on clause (i) of paragraph (a) of this subsection
      2.4.

            (c) Except as provided in clause (B) of this subsection 2.4 with
      respect to the Initial AHYDO Warrants and the Subsequent AHYDO Warrants,
      at no time may any Subordinated Creditor take any Enforcement Action with
      respect to any Special Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment that is not
      made when due pursuant to the Subordinated Debt Documents.

            2.5. INCORRECT PAYMENTS. If any Distribution on account of the
      Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by the Company or Holdings or
      accepted by a Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is made and
      received by such Subordinated Creditor, such Distribution shall not be
      commingled with any of the assets of such Subordinated Creditor, shall be
      held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of Agent and
      Senior Lenders and shall be promptly paid over to Agent for application
      (in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents) to the payment of the
      Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is paid in
      full.

            2.6. SUBORDINATION OF LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS; AGREEMENT NOT TO
      CONTEST; AGREEMENT TO RELEASE LIENS. Until the Senior Debt has been paid
      in full in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders) and all
      lending commitments under the Senior Debt Documents have terminated, any
      liens and security interests of any Subordinated Creditor in the
      Collateral which may exist in breach of such Subordinated Creditor's
      agreement pursuant to subsection 3.2(f) or subsection 4.1 of this
      Agreement shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all
      respects to the liens and security interests of Agent and Senior Lenders
      in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection
      of any such liens and security interests. In the event that any
      Subordinated Creditor obtains any liens or security interests in the
      Collateral, such Subordinated Creditor shall (or shall cause its agent) to
      promptly execute and deliver to Agent such termination statements and
      releases as Agent shall reasonably request to effect the release of the
      liens and security interests of such Subordinated Creditor in such
      Collateral. 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
      reasonably required to deliver pursuant to this subsection 2.6.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
      2.7. SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF SUBORDINATED DEBT.

            (a) No Subordinated Creditor shall sell, assign, pledge, dispose of
      or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any
      Subordinated Debt Document unless, prior to the consummation of any such
      action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Agent an
      agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, providing for the
      continued subordination of the Subordinated Debt held by such Subordinated
      Creditor to the Senior Debt as provided herein and for the continued
      effectiveness of all of the rights of Agent and Senior Lenders arising
      under this Agreement.

            (b) Notwithstanding the failure of any transferee to execute or
      deliver an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, the
      subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge,
      disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated
      Debt, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors
      and assigns of each Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 9
      hereof.

      2.8. LEGENDS. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 15 hereof, each Subordinated Creditor will cause to be clearly,
conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of the applicable
Subordinated Note, the applicable Subordinated PIK Notes and any other
Subordinated Debt Document, as well as any renewals or replacements thereof, the
following legend:

            "This instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are
      subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain
      Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the "Subordination Agreement")
      dated as of April 15, 2003 among Audax Mezzanine Fund, L.P., Audax Trust
      Co-Invest, L.P., Audax Co-Invest, L.P., AFF Co-Invest, L.P., a Delaware
      limited partnership, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, New York Branch,
      American Coin Merchandising, Inc. (the "Company"), ACMI Holdings, Inc.
      ("Holdings") and Madison Capital Funding LLC ("Agent"), to the
      indebtedness (including interest) owed by the Company pursuant to that
      certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2003
      among the Company, Agent and the Lenders from time to time party thereto,
      as such Credit Agreement has been and hereafter may be amended,
      supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and to indebtedness
      refinancing the indebtedness under that agreement as contemplated by the
      Subordination Agreement; and each holder of this instrument, by its
      acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the
      Subordination Agreement."

3.    MODIFICATIONS.

      3.1. MODIFICATIONS TO SENIOR DEBT DOCUMENTS. Senior Lenders may at any
time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any Subordinated
Creditor, without

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
incurring liability to any Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or
releasing the obligations of any Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement,
change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew
or alter any of the terms of the Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any
agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or
otherwise relating to the Senior Debt; provided that Senior Lenders shall not
(a) increase the Senior Debt, (b) increase the interest rate with respect to the
Senior Debt by more than 200 basis points, except in connection with (i) the
imposition of a default rate of interest in accordance with the terms of the
Senior Debt Documents or (ii) the imposition of market interest rate in respect
of any Permitted Refinancing Senior Debt, (c) directly prohibit or restrict the
payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts payable with respect to,
the Subordinated Debt, in a manner that is more restrictive then the
prohibitions and restrictions currently contained in the Credit Agreement, (d)
extend the final maturity date or any other scheduled payment date for
principal, interest or any other amount in respect of the Senior Debt (as set
forth in the Madison Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof) by more than
180 days, or (e) shorten the amortization of any portion of the Senior Debt (as
set forth in the Madison Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof).

      3.2. MODIFICATIONS TO SUBORDINATED DEBT DOCUMENTS. Until the Senior Debt
has been paid in full in cash (or another form acceptable to the Senior Lenders)
and all lending commitments under the Senior Debt Documents have terminated, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Debt
Documents, no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of
Agent, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated
Debt Documents the effect of which is to (a) increase the maximum principal
amount of the Subordinated Debt or rate of interest on any of the Subordinated
Debt, (b) change the dates upon which payments of principal or interest on the
Subordinated Debt are due, (c) change or add any event of default or any
covenant with respect to the Subordinated Debt, (d) change any redemption or
prepayment provisions of the Subordinated Debt, (e) alter the subordination
provisions with respect to the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation,
subordinating the Subordinated Debt to any other indebtedness, (f) take any
liens or security interests in any assets of any Credit Party to secure the
Subordinated Debt or (g) change or amend any other term of the Subordinated Debt
Documents if such change or amendment would result in a Senior Default, increase
the obligations of any Credit Party in respect of the Subordinated Debt or
confer additional material rights on any Subordinated Creditor or any other
holder of the Subordinated Debt in a manner adverse to any Credit Party or
Senior Lenders.

4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      4.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SUBORDINATED CREDITORS. Each
Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Senior Lenders
that as of the date hereof: (a) such Subordinated Creditor is, in the case of
Audax, Audax Trust, Audax Co-Invest, AFF Co-Invest, L.P., a limited partnership
duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and in
the case of RBS, duly formed and validly existing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of formation; (b) such Subordinated Creditor has the power and
authority to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this
Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary
action; (c) the execution of this

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
Agreement by such Subordinated Creditor will not violate or conflict with the
organizational documents of such Subordinated Creditor, any material agreement
binding upon such Subordinated Creditor or any law, regulation or order or
require any consent or approval which has not been obtained; (d) this Agreement
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subordinated Creditor,
enforceable against such Subordinated Creditor in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by equitable principles; (e) such
Subordinated Creditor is the sole owner, beneficially and of record, of the
respective portion of the Subordinated Debt Documents and the Subordinated Debt
indicated on Exhibit A hereto; and (f) the Subordinated Debt is, and at all
times prior to the termination of this Agreement shall remain, an unsecured
obligation of each Credit Party.

      4.2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AGENT. Agent hereby represents and
warrants to each Subordinated Creditor that as of the date hereof: (a) Agent is
a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware; (b) Agent has the power and authority to enter into,
execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement, all of which have
been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; (c) the execution of
this Agreement by Agent will not violate or conflict with the organizational

5. SUBROGATION. Subject to the payment in full in cash (or another form
acceptable to the Senior Lenders) of all Senior Debt and the termination of all
lending commitments under the Senior Debt Documents, each Subordinated Creditor
shall be subrogated to the rights of Agent and Senior Lenders to receive
Distributions with respect to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt is
paid in full. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that in the event that all or
any part of a payment made with respect to the Senior Debt is recovered from the
Senior Lenders in a Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution received by such
Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt at any time after
the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of
subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have
been received by such Subordinated Creditor in trust as property of the Senior
Lenders and such Subordinated Creditor shall forthwith deliver the same to the
Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders for application to the Senior Debt
until the Senior Debt is paid in full. A Distribution made pursuant to this
Agreement to Agent or Senior Lenders which otherwise would have been made to
such Subordinated Creditor is not, as between the Credit Parties and such
Subordinated Creditor, a payment by any Credit Party to or on account of the
Senior Debt.

6. MODIFICATION. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement,
or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be
effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Agent, each
Subordinated Creditor,

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
Company and Holdings and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any
notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required
hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any
other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances
unless specifically required hereunder.

7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party to this Agreement promptly will execute and
deliver such further instruments and agreements and do such further acts and
things as may be reasonably requested in writing by any other party hereto that
may be necessary or desirable in order to effect fully the purposes of this
Agreement.

courier service or certified or registered United States mail and shall be

19. OTHER SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT. Audax and certain other Persons (the
"Original Subordinated Creditors") are also party to a certain Purchase
Agreement with the Company dated as of February 11, 2002 (as amended to date,
including by virtue of a certain Consent and Amendment of even date herewith,
and as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Original
Purchase Agreement") the Company has issued its 17% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the "Original
Notes"). The obligations of the Company under the Original Purchase Agreement
and the Original Notes are subordinated to the Senior Debt pursuant to a certain
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement executed by the Original Subordinated
Creditors, the Company, Holdings and Agent dated as of February 11, 2002 (as
amended to date, including without limitation by a certain Amendment No. 1 to
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement of even date herewith, and as may
hereafter be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Original
Subordination Agreement"). Each of the parties hereto agree that this Agreement
shall not in any way be deemed to effect the rights and obligations of the
parties to the Original Subordination Agreement, the Original Purchase Agreement
or the Original Subordinated Note, which shall in all events be governed by such
agreements. The exercise by any Person of rights under the Original
Subordination Agreement shall not be deemed to be an exercise of rights by such
Person under this Agreement, nor shall the exercise of any rights under this
Agreement be deemed to be an exercise of rights under the Original Subordination
Agreement. By way of example (and not by way of limitation), (a) the giving of a
Senior Default Notice, a Subordinated Debt Default Notice or any other notice
hereunder shall not constitute the giving of a similar notice under the Original
Subordination Agreement unless the same is so specified in such Senior Default
Notice, Subordinated Debt Default Notice or other notice and (b) the tolling of
any time period under this Agreement shall not constitute the tolling of any
similar time period under the Original Subordination Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any Senior Default Notice,
Subordinated Debt Default Notice or any notice given hereunder may constitute a
similar notice under the Original Subordination Agreement if identified as such
in the body of such notice.

                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

Senior Lenders.

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                - - - - - - - -

            A. The Subordinated Creditors, the Company, the Agent and certain
Senior Lenders are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of February 11, 2002
(as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Original Senior Credit Agreement"). In connection with the execution and
delivery of the Original Senior Credit Agreement, the Subordinated Creditors,
the Company, Holdings and the Agent executed and delivered a certain
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of February 11, 2003 (the
"Subordination Agreement").

            B. On the date hereof, the Company, the Agent and certain Senior
Lenders are entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Amended Senior Credit Agreement"), which will amend and restate
the Original Senior Credit Agreement in its entirety. In connection therewith,
the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Subordination Agreement in the
manner provided hereinbelow. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Amended Senior
Credit Agreement.

            1. Amendments. Effective upon the effectiveness of the Amended
Senior Credit Agreement, the Subordination Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

            (a) Each reference to the "Credit Agreement" shall be deemed to be a
reference to the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement" and each reference to
the date of such Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the date
"April 15, 2003".

            (b) The definition of the term "Senior Debt" is hereby amended by
deleting therefrom the amount "$6,500,000" and inserting in its place the amount
of "$8,200,000".

            (c) A new Section 19 is hereby inserted into the Subordination
Agreement as follows:

            "19. OTHER SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT. Audax and certain other Persons
      (the "Additional Subordinated Creditors") are also party to a certain
      Purchase Agreement with the Company dated as of April 15, 2003, and as may
<PAGE>
      be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Additional
      Purchase Agreement") the Company has issued its 17% Senior Subordinated
      Notes due 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of $6,500,000 (the
      "Additional Notes"). The obligations of the Company under the Additional
      Purchase Agreement and the Additional Notes are subordinated to the Senior
      Debt pursuant to a certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement
      executed by the Additional Subordinated Creditors, the Company, Holdings
      and Agent dated as of April 15, 2003 (as it may hereafter be amended,
      modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Additional Subordination
      Agreement"). Each of the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall
      not in any way be deemed to effect the rights and obligations of the
      parties to the Additional Subordination Agreement, the Additional Purchase
      Agreement or the Additional Subordinated Note, which shall in all events
      be governed by such agreements. The exercise by any Person of rights under
      the Additional Subordination Agreement shall not be deemed to be an
      exercise of rights by such Person under this Agreement, nor shall the
      exercise of any rights under this Agreement be deemed to be an exercise of
      rights under the Additional Subordination Agreement. By way of example
      (and not by way of limitation), (a) the giving of a Senior Default Notice,
      a Subordinated Debt Default Notice or any other notice hereunder shall not
      constitute the giving of a similar notice under the Additional
      Subordination Agreement unless the same is so specified in such Senior
      Default Notice, Subordinated Debt Default Notice or other notice and (b)
      the tolling of any time period under this Agreement shall not constitute
      the tolling of any similar time period under the Additional Subordination
      Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that
      any Senior Default Notice, Subordinated Debt Default Notice or other
      notice given hereunder may constitute a similar notice under the
      Additional Subordination Agreement if identified as such in the body of
      such notice. "

            2. References. Any references to the Subordination Agreement in any
document, agreement or instrument executed in connection with the Original
Senior Credit Agreement, Amended Senior Credit Agreement or the Subordinated
Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the Subordination
Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

            3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken
together shall be one and the same instrument.

            4. Effect. The terms and provisions set forth in this Amendment
shall modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the
Subordination Agreement and shall not be deemed to be a consent to the
modification or waiver of any other term or condition of the Subordination
Agreement. Except as expressly modified and superseded by this Amendment, the
terms and provisions of the Subordination Agreement are ratified and confirmed
and shall continue in full force and effect.
