         5. DELIVERY OF WARRANT SHARES.

                  (a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant
Shares represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of the
Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached
Warrant Shares Exercise Log) by facsimile showing confirmation of receipt and
upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares
that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but
in no event later than three Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined
herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise, which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase
Agreement, shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request
of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver
Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation

the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

                  (b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to
rescind such exercise.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (c) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the
Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior
to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the
Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the
exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time
of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number
of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder, it
being understood that issuances or reinstatement pursuant to this clause (2)
shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the Company's obligation to honor
the exercise giving rise to such issuance or reinstatement. The Holder shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In.

                  (d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any
violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and
irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of
Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.

         6. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental
tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which
taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares
or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be
responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

         7. REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and

                                       4
<PAGE>

reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with
such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable
third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as
a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such
mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company's
obligation to issue the New Warrant.

         8. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein
provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any
other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into
account the adjustments and restrictions of SECTION 9). The Company covenants
that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the
payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

         9. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to
time as set forth in this SECTION 9.

                  (a) STOCK DIVIDENDS AND SPLITS. If the Company, at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable
in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or
combination.

                  (b) FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall
have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same
amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled
to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of
Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the
"ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION"). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of
the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as

                                       5
<PAGE>

to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration
it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. At the Holder's option and request, any successor to the Company or
surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the
Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent
with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to purchase the
Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof,
or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in
cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective
date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the
remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The
terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any
such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent
transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

                  (c) SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. If the Company or any subsidiary
thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to
acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Initial
Exercise Price or the Adjusted Exercise Price, as applicable (the "ADDITIONAL
WARRANT SHARES PRICE") (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent so issued may, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
become entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the
Initial Exercise Price or the Adjusted Exercise Price, as applicable, but such
price is not fixed at the time of issuance, such issuance shall be deemed to
occur (i) in the case of purchase price adjustments and reset provisions, at the
time, if any, that such adjustment or reset occurs, or (ii) in the case of
conversion, exercise or exchange prices, the date of such conversion, exercise
or exchange), then, the Initial Exercise Price or the Adjusted Exercise Price,
as applicable, shall be reduced to equal the Additional Warrant Shares Price,
such adjustment to be made at the time such Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents are issued; PROVIDED, however, that no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to this Section 9(c) as a result of the conversion, exercise or
exchange, as the case may be, of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the
date hereof (but will apply to any amendments, resets, modifications, and
reissuances thereof and as a result of any changes, resets or adjustments to a
conversion, exercise or exchange price thereunder whether or not as a result of
any amendment, modification or reissuance), upon the issuance of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents to employees or consultants of the Company as
compensation upon approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, or upon the
issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any agreements or other obligations in
existence on the date hereof (including those set forth in the Transaction
Documents) (but will apply to any amendments, resets, modifications, and
reissuances thereof and as a result of any changes, resets or adjustments to a
conversion, exercise or exchange price thereunder whether or not as a result of
any amendment, modification or reissuance). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, the Exercise Price shall never be increased as a
result of the Additional Warrant Shares Price. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating
therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange
price, conversion price and other pricing terms.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (d) NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. Simultaneously with any
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of
Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant
Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.

                  (e) CALCULATIONS. All calculations under this SECTION 9 shall
be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common
Stock.

                  (f) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment pursuant to this SECTION 9, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the
adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing
the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will
promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the
Company's Transfer Agent.

                  (g) NOTICE OF CORPORATE EVENTS. If the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights
or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii)
authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing
the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent
such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public
information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in
order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the
Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the
Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such
time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided,
however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.

                  (h) PREPAYMENT. The Company shall prepay $5,000,000 of the
Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts, including
liquidated damages, by March 15, 2005. In the event the Investor does not
receive such prepayment amount by March 15, 2005, then the Exercise Price shall
automatically be reduced to the Adjusted Exercise Price.

         10. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in
one of the following manners:

                  (a) CASH EXERCISE. The Holder may deliver immediately
available funds; or

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (b) CASHLESS EXERCISE. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a
time when a registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Warrant
Shares is not then effective or the prospectus forming a part thereof is not
then available to the Holder for the resale of the Warrant Shares, then the
Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize
cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the
number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

             X = Y [(A-B)/A]

       where:

             X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

             Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
             is being exercised.

             A = the average of the closing prices for the five Trading Days
             immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

             B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless
exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and
the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued.

         11. LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any
exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by
such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall
not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or
beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other
consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. By written notice to
the Company, an Investor may waive the provisions of this Section 11(a) as to
itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after
delivery thereof and such waiver shall have no effect on any other Investor.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any
exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other

                                       8
<PAGE>

issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by
such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.999% of the total number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall
not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or
beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other
consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. This restriction may
not be waived.

         12. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will
be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash
equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one
Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of
exercise.

         13. NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of

such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with
this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number
appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as
the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.

         14. WARRANT AGENT. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this
Warrant. Upon 10 days' notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new
warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent
may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the
Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which
the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant
agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder's last

         15. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to
the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to
any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only
in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and
assigns.

                  (b) All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New

                  (b) Until the Payoff Time, the Junior Creditors shall not be
entitled to receive and the Company shall not make any Payment in respect of the

course and liquidated damages not to exceed $100,000.

                  (c) Unless and until the Payoff Time shall have occurred, the
Junior Creditors agrees that they shall not declare any part of the Junior
Obligations to be due and payable or exercise any of the rights or remedies that

                  (e) Nothing contained in this Subordination Agreement is

<PAGE>

the Junior Creditors any amount due in respect of the Junior Obligations as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof,
or affect the relative rights of the Company and its creditors (other than the
Senior Creditors), in each case subject to the rights of each Senior Creditor
under this Subordination Agreement.

                  (f) The Junior Creditors agree that this Subordination
Agreement shall not be affected by any action or failure to act by a Senior
Creditor that results, or may result, in affecting, impairing or extinguishing
any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Junior
Creditors.

                  (g) The Junior Creditors agree that any statement of account
with respect to the Senior Obligations from the Senior Creditors to the Company
that binds the Company shall also be binding upon the Junior Creditors, and that
copies of any such statement of account maintained in the ordinary course of
business may be used in evidence against the Junior Creditors.

                  (h) The Junior Creditors agree that no Payment received by the

in respect thereof until the Payoff Time, and for the purpose of such

Creditors shall, as among the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior
Creditors) and the Junior Creditors, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to
or on account of the Senior Obligations, it being understood that the provisions
hereof are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
the Junior Creditors, on the one hand, and the Senior Creditors, on the other
hand. From and after the Payoff Time, the Junior Creditors shall be subrogated
to all rights of the Senior Creditors to receive any further payments or
distributions until the Junior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in
full. The subordination provisions contained herein shall not be affected by any
action, or failure to act, by any Senior Creditor that results, or may result,
in affecting, impairing or extinguishing any right of reimbursement or
subrogation or other right or remedy of the Junior Creditors.

Obligations, including, without limitation, the Subordinated Convertible Note,

the organizational documents of the Junior Creditor and (ii) violate or result
in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the
Junior Creditor or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by the Junior Creditor.

Company hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of (i) the
invalidity or lack of enforceability of any Senior Notes, (ii) any amendment of,
supplement to or other modification of (including by any amendment, waiver or

direct or indirect collateral security therefor, (vi) the bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency of, or by any other proceeding for the relief of
debtors commenced by or against, the Junior Creditors, the Company or any other
Person, (vii) the subordination of the Senior Obligations to any other
liabilities or obligations or (viii) any other reason or circumstance
whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Junior Creditors in
respect of this Subordination Agreement or the Company in respect of the Senior
Obligations or this Subordination Agreement.

                  (b) The Junior Creditors hereby waive any right to require
that resort be had by the Agent or any other Senior Creditor against the Company
or any other Person, or to require that resort be had by the Agent or any other
Senior Creditor to any collateral security. Neither the Agent nor any other
Senior Creditor shall have any obligation to enforce any Senior Documents by any
action, including making or perfecting any claim against the Company prior to

parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of the Company or the Junior Creditor that are contained in this
Subordination Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto
and its respective successors and assigns. This Subordination Agreement shall
become effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of each of the
Company and the Junior Creditors shall have been delivered to the Senior
Creditors and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the
Senior Creditors, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Company or the Junior
Creditors, as applicable, and the Secured Creditors and their respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company or the
Junior Creditors, as applicable, the Agent and the other Senior Creditors, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Company or the
Junior Creditors shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations
hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be
void), except as expressly contemplated by this Subordination Agreement or the
other Senior Documents. This Subordination Agreement shall be a continuing
agreement and shall be irrevocable.

         7. WAIVERS; AMENDMENT.

                  (a) No failure or delay of the Secured Creditors in exercising
any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Senior Creditors hereunder and under the other Senior
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Subordination
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Company or the Junior Creditors
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on the Company or the Junior Creditors in any case shall
entitle the Company or the Junior Creditors, as applicable, to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

                  (b) Neither this Subordination Agreement nor any provision
hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement
entered into by, between or among the Senior Creditors and the Company and/or
the Junior Creditors, as applicable.

         8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall be deemed to have been
given on the date of receipt.

         10. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY.

                  (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by each of the Company and the Junior Creditors herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Subordination Agreement shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the Senior Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, regardless of any investigation made by the Senior Creditors or
on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this
Subordination Agreement shall terminate. The agreements made herein shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any Senior Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by any Senior Creditor or the Junior Creditors upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, the Junior Creditors or otherwise.

                  (b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Subordination Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.

         11. COUNTERPARTS. This Subordination Agreement may be executed in two
or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Subordination Agreement by facsimile transmission
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Subordination Agreement.

         12. HEADINGS. Section headings used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Subordination Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Subordination Agreement.

         13. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

                  (a) Each of the Company and the Junior Creditors hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the
United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from
any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Subordination Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
