Gentlemen:

     This letter is furnished to Crest View,  Inc.,  a Nevada  corporation  (the
"Company"),  in  connection  with the  issuance to the  undersigned  of ________
shares of Common Stock,  $.001 par value, of the Company (the  "Shares").  These
Shares have been sold,  assigned and  transferred to the undersigned by {NAME OF
SELLER,  ASSIGNOR AND  TRANSFEROR] at a cost of $.001 per share.  The Company is
relying upon the  representations,  acknowledgements  and  agreements  herein in
permitting transfer of the Shares.

     The undersigned  hereby represents to the Company that the Shares are being
acquired for the account of the  undersigned  for investment and not with a view
to, or for  resale in  connection  with,  any  distribution  thereof  within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act").

     The undersigned acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under
the 1933 Act,  that the Shares  were issued to the  undersigned  pursuant to the
exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act for transactions by an issuer
not involving any public offering and/or Rule 504 under Regulation D of the l933
Act and  therefore  the  Shares  must  be  held  indefinitely  unless  they  are
subsequently registered or an exemption permitting resale is available.

     The undersigned  acknowledges  that the Shares are "restricted  securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, which permits routine trading
transactions involving "restricted  securities" if the securities have been held
by the seller for at least one year and if certain other  requirements  are met,
among  which is that only a  limited  amount  of  securities  may be sold in any
three-month  period in reliance on Rule 144,  unless Rule 144(k)  applies at the
time of sale.

     The undersigned agrees not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
the Shares,  or any of them,  without  first  having  presented to the Company a
written  opinion of counsel  satisfactory  to the  Company  indicating  that the
proposed  transfer  will not be in  violation  of the 1933 Act or the  rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. The undersigned agrees that a legend to this
effect  may be placed on the  certificate(s)  representing  the  Shares,  or any
substitutes  therefor,  and the  undersigned  hereby  authorizes  the Company to
instruct its transfer agent for the Shares to enter a "stop transfer" order with
respect to the Shares.

     The  undersigned is familiar with the financial  condition and prospects of
the  Company's  business  and has had  ample  opportunity  to  discuss  with its
officers  the current  corporate  activities  of the  Company.  The  undersigned
represents  that he has  sufficient  knowledge  and  experience in financial and
business  matters  to be  capable  of  evaluating  the risks  and  merits of the
investment  and  believes  that the Shares are  securities  of the kind that the
undersigned  wishes to purchase and hold for investment,  and that the nature of
the Shares is consistent with the undersigned's investment program.

     The  undersigned  agrees  to  indemnify  the  Company  against  any and all
liabilities,  losses, costs, damages, fees (including attorneys' fees) and other
expenses  which the Company may sustain or incur in consequence of a sale of the
Shares  by the  undersigned  in  violation  of the  1933  Act  or any  rules  or
regulations promulgated thereunder or in violation of any other law or rule.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        By:

                                        2

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY
NOTE  

     FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, The Middleby Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay to the order of Maytag Corporation
(together with its successors, endorsees and assigns, “Maytag”) on or
prior to December 15, 2006 the principal amount of Fifteen Million and 00/100
Dollars ($15,000,000), as such amount may be changed as described herein. 

     The
Company further agrees to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note from
time to time outstanding at 12% per annum. Interest shall be computed for the
actual number of days elapsed for a year consisting of 365 or, if applicable,
366 days. Such interest shall be payable on the last business day of June and
December of each year, beginning on June 28, 2002, and at maturity. 

     The
principal amount of this Note may be (a) changed as provided in Section 3.3 of
the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Subordination Agreement referred
to below) or (b) decreased as the result of any offset by the Company permitted
by Section 2 of the Subordination Agreement against amounts payable to the
Company by Maytag. 

     All
payments of principal hereof and interest hereon shall be payable in lawful
currency of the United States of America; provided that (a) interest
payable on June 28, 2002 and December 31, 2002 shall be paid by the issuance of
additional subordinated promissory notes in substantially the form hereof
(“Additional Subordinated Notes”); and (b) if and to the extent that
any interest scheduled to be paid on any date thereafter may not be paid without
violating the terms of the Subordination Agreement, such interest shall be paid
by the issuance of an Additional Subordinated Note in a principal amount equal
to such interest. As used herein, “Senior Subordinated Debt” means
Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) that is subordinated to
other Senior Debt. 

     Maytag,
and each other holder hereof by its acceptance hereof, covenants and agrees that
all payments of principal and interest on this Note are subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt pursuant to, and
to the extent provided in, the Subordination Agreement dated as of December __,
2001 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Subordination Agreement”) issued by Maytag in favor (a) Bank of
America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any
successor or assign in such capacity the “Administrative Agent”) for
certain lenders (the “Lenders”) under a Credit Agreement dated as of
the date hereof among the Company, Middleby Marshall Inc. (“MMI”), the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (as amended, restated replaced, refinanced,
extended or renewed from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), (b)
American Capital Financial Services, Inc., as administrative agent (the
“Agent”) for certain securities purchasers (the
“Purchasers”) under a Note and Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of
the date hereof among MMI, the Company, the Agent and the Purchasers (as
amended, restated, replaced, refinanced, extended or renewed from time to time,
the “Note Agreement”) and (c) any other holders of Senior Debt. 

	

     If
any Senior Debt is accelerated as a result of any event of the type described in
Section 12.1.3 of the Credit Agreement in effect on the date of this Note, then
the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall become immediately due and
payable. In addition, Maytag may, by notice to the Company, the Administrative
Agent and the Agent, declare the unpaid principal amount of this Note, together
with interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of

	 	     (a)
Any Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement in effect on the date of this
Note).

	 	     (b)

substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

	 	     (c)

after becoming due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any Senior Debt in
an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more.

	 	     (d)
The Company or any subsidiary shall make any payment which is prohibited under Section
10.9 of the Credit Agreement in effect on the date of this Note.

	 	     (e)
The Company or any subsidiary shall make any Acquisition (as defined in the Credit
Agreement as of the date of this Note) without the prior written consent of Maytag if,
after giving effect to such Acquisition, the aggregate principal amount of all Senior
Debt (including unfunded commitments with respect thereto) exceeds $100,000,000.

	 	     (f)
The Company or any subsidiary shall create or permit to exist any lien or other
encumbrance on its assets, other than (i) liens and encumbrances permitted by the Credit
Agreement as of the date of this Note and (ii) liens or other encumbrances securing
obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement or the Note Agreement (including,
without limitation, in connection with replacements, refinancings, extensions or renewals
of the Credit Agreement and/or the Note Agreement).

	 	     (g)
The Company or any subsidiary shall issue any Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement as
of the date of this Note) other than, without duplication, (i) Debt permitted by the
Credit Agreement as of the date of this Note, (ii) Debt issued under the Credit
Agreement, the Note Agreement and any replacement, refinancing, extension or renewal of
either of the foregoing and (iii) Debt that is subordinated to the indebtedness hereunder
on terms reasonably satisfactory to Maytag.

	

     Subject
to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Company shall have the right to
prepay all or any part of the unpaid principal amount hereof at any time without
premium or penalty; provided that interest shall be paid on the amount prepaid

to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, this Note may be amended or
otherwise modified, or any provision hereof may be waived, from time to time,

     The

the execution of a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement between the
Company and each party seeking access to the Company’s information
hereunder, the Company further agrees to provide (i) Maytag (and its prospective
transferees and assigns) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon
reasonable advance notice, to the Company’s books, records, personnel and
facilities on the same basis as provided to the holders of the Senior Debt and,
upon the reasonable request from Maytag, shall provide copies of all reports and
other notices delivered from time to time to the holders of the Senior Debt and
(ii) to the extent available and in existence on the date of request, such
additional information and reports on the Company’s business condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects as
may be reasonably requested by Maytag (or any of its prospective transferees and
assigns) in connection with a proposed assignment or transfer of this Note. The
parties agree and acknowledge that the foregoing will not obligate or require
the Company to prepare or compile any information or reports that the Company
does not otherwise prepare in the ordinary course of its business and
operations. 

     THIS
NOTE IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (EXCEPT 735 ILLINOIS COMPILED STATUTE
§105/5-5).
