shall mean that:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  (i)      No payment or prepayment of any principal, premium
         (if any) or interest on account of a Subordinated Obligation and no
         repurchase, redemption or other retirement (whether at the option of
         the holder or otherwise) of a Subordinated Obligation shall be made so
         long as this Agreement is effective; provided that payments of
         interest or premium or payments or prepayments of principal may be
         made from any source, if, at the time of such payment or prepayment
         and immediately after giving effect thereto, there shall not exist a
         default in the payment or prepayment of any principal of or interest
         on any Senior Capital Markets Debt;

                  (ii)     In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy
         proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other
         similar proceedings, relative to the Borrower or to its creditors, as
         such, or to its property, or in the event of any proceeding for
         voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the
         Borrower, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then the
         holders of all Senior Pari Passu Debt shall be entitled to receive
         payment in full in cash of all Senior Pari Passu Debt before the
         holders of the Subordinated Obligations are entitled to receive any
         payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations, and to that end
         the holders of the Senior Pari Passu Debt shall be entitled to receive
         pro rata distributions of any kind or character, whether in cash or
         property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in any
         such proceedings in respect of the Subordinated Obligations;

                  (iii)    If any Subordinated Obligation is declared or
         otherwise becomes due and payable (under circumstances when the
         provisions of the foregoing paragraphs (i) or (ii) are not applicable,
         whether as a result of the occurrence of an event of default under
         such Subordinated Obligations or otherwise), the holders of Senior
         Pari Passu Debt outstanding at the time such Subordinated Obligations
         so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in full
         of all Senior Pari Passu Debt before the holders of the Subordinated
         Obligations are entitled to receive any payment on account of the
         Subordinated Obligations;

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                  (iv)     If, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the
         events described in paragraphs (i) (other than a payment permitted by
         the proviso thereto), (ii) and (iii), any such payment or distribution
         of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash,
         property or securities, shall be received by the holders of
         Subordinated Obligations before all Senior Pari Passu Debt is paid in
         full in cash, or provision made for such payment in a manner
         satisfactory to each holder of Senior Pari Passu Debt (or such
         holder's representative, which in the case of Senior Capital Markets
         Debt issued pursuant to an indenture shall be the trustee thereunder),
         such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit
         of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Pari
         Passu Debt or their representative or representatives, as their
         respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all
         Senior Pari Passu Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay
         such Senior Pari Passu Debt in full in cash, in accordance with its
         terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
         to all holders of such Senior Pari Passu Debt; and

                  (v)      No holder of Senior Capital Markets Debt shall be
         prejudiced in its right to enforce subordination of the Subordinated
         Obligations by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower;
         provided that the foregoing provisions are solely for the purpose of
         defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Capital Markets
         Debt, on the one hand, and the holders of Subordinated Obligations, on
         the other hand, and that nothing herein shall impair, as between the
         Borrower and the holders of the Subordinated Obligations, the
         obligation of the Borrower, which shall be unconditional and absolute,
         to pay to the holders of the Subordinated Obligations the principal
         and premium (if any) thereof and interest thereon in accordance with
         its terms, nor shall anything therein prevent the holders of the
         Subordinated Obligations from exercising all remedies otherwise
         permitted by applicable law or the instruments pursuant to which the
         Subordinated Obligations were issued upon default thereunder, subject
         to the rights under paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above of the
         holders of Senior Pari Passu Debt to receive cash, property or
         securities

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the
         Subordinated Obligations.

         (c)      The expressions "prior payment in full," "payment in full,"
"paid in full", "fully paid and satisfied" and any other similar terms or
phrases when used in this Agreement, with respect to the Senior Capital Markets
Debt, shall mean the full and final payment in cash, in immediately available
funds, of all of the Senior Capital Markets Debt.

         To the extent any payment of Senior Capital Markets Debt (whether by
or on behalf of the Borrower, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any
right of set-off or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or other similar party
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or
similar laws, then if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such
trustee, receiver or other similar party, the Senior Capital Markets Debt or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be
reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. To the extent
the obligation to repay any Senior Capital Markets Debt is declared to be
fraudulent, invalid or otherwise set aside under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws, then the obligations so
declared fraudulent, invalid or otherwise set aside (and all other amounts that
would become due with respect thereto had such obligations not been so
affected) shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as Senior Capital
Markets Debt for all purposes hereof as if such declaration, invalidity or
setting aside had not occurred.

         (d)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall have the right to make, and the Subordinated Creditors shall
have the right to receive and to retain, any payment or voluntary prepayment by
the Borrower of any Subordinated Obligation as contemplated by the proviso to
paragraph (i) of subsection 2.1(b) if, immediately after giving effect thereto,
there shall not exist a default in the payment or prepayment of any principal
of or interest on any Senior Capital Markets Debt.

         2.2      Additional Subordinated Obligations. A Subordinated Creditor
may cause Schedule A or Schedule B hereto, as the case may be, to be
supplemented from time to

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

time to add additional obligations of the Borrower to the Subordinated Creditor
(or its Subsidiary) as Subordinated Obligations by executing a notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and delivering a signed
counterpart thereof to the Borrower. Schedule A and Schedule B, as the case may
be, will be deemed modified as of the date such signed notices have been
delivered.

         2.3      Agreement to Cooperate. Each Subordinated Creditor hereby
agrees, under the circumstances set forth in paragraph (ii) of subsection
2.1(b), duly and promptly to take such action as may be requested at any time
and from time to time by the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt (or their
representative), to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations, and to execute and deliver such powers of attorney,
assignments of proofs of claim or other instruments as may be requested by the
holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt (or their representative), in order to
enable the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt to enforce any and all claims
upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and to collect and receive
any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at
any time upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

         2.4      Subrogation. (a) No Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled
to enforce its rights of subrogation to receive payments or distributions of
assets of the Borrower on the Senior Capital Markets Debt until the Senior
Capital Markets Debt has been paid in full.

         (b)      Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Capital Markets
Debt, until all amounts owing on the Subordinated Obligations shall be paid in
full the Subordinated Creditors shall be subrogated to the rights of the
holder(s) of the Senior Capital Markets Debt (to the extent of payments or
distributions previously made to such holders pursuant to the provisions of
subsection 2.1(b)).

         2.5      Additional Senior Obligations. (a) For purposes of this
Agreement, "Other Creditor" means a holder of Senior Pari Passu Debt or any
other creditor of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, but does not
include a holder of Senior Capital Markets Debt. No Subordinated Creditor shall
grant or permit to exist any contractual agreement with or for the benefit of
any Other Creditor that provides for the subordination of the payment

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

of any Subordinated Obligation to the payment of obligations of the Borrower to
such Other Creditor unless payment of that Subordinated Obligation is also
subordinated to the payment in full of the Senior Capital Markets Debt on terms
and conditions that are at least as favorable, provided however, that nothing
herein shall (i) be deemed to limit or restrict (A) any Subordinated Creditor's
agreement with any Other Creditor that would prohibit or limit any payments by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Subordinated Creditor
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a non-payment default

         2.6      Refinancing of Subordinated Obligations. Neither the Borrower
nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall incur or become liable with respect to
any indebtedness owed to any Subordinated Creditor or any Affiliate thereof if
the net proceeds of such indebtedness are used, directly or indirectly, to
refinance any Subordinated Obligations ("Refinancing Indebtedness"), unless
such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated to the Senior Capital Markets
Debt at least to the same extent as such refinanced Subordinated Obligations;
provided, however that an incurrence of indebtedness by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower shall not constitute Refinancing Indebtedness under
this Agreement if the Board of Directors of the Borrower makes a good faith
determination that such indebtedness is not Refinancing Indebtedness (such
determination being binding and conclusive for all purposes hereof).

         SECTION 3.        REPRESENTATIONS.

         Each Subordinated Creditor represents and warrants as follows:

         3.1      Power and Authority; Authorization; No Violation. The
Subordinated Creditor has corporate power, authority and legal right to
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action

of any indebtedness or obligations of the Subordinated Creditor and will not
violate any provision of law, governmental regulation, order or decree or any
provision of any material indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement
entered into by the Subordinated Creditor or by which the Subordinated Creditor
is bound.

         3.2      Consents. No consent, license, approval or authorization of,
or registration or declaration with, any governmental instrumentality, domestic
or foreign, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Subordinated Creditor of this Agreement.

and binding obligation of the Subordinated Creditor enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

                                      -10-

moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to
the availability of equitable remedies.

         SECTION 4.        MODIFICATIONS OF SENIOR CAPITAL MARKETS DEBT;
RELIANCE.

         Each Subordinated Creditor consents that, without the necessity of any
reservation of rights against the Subordinated Creditors, and without notice to
or further assent by the Subordinated Creditors, (a) any demand for payment of
any Senior Capital Markets Debt may be rescinded in whole or in part, and any
Senior Capital Markets Debt may be continued, and the Senior Capital Markets
Debt, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any
collateral security or guaranty therefor, or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released and (b)
any document or instrument evidencing or governing the term of any Senior
Capital Markets Debt or any other collateral security documents or guaranties
or documents in connection with Senior Capital Markets Debt (other than this
Agreement) may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in
part, as the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt may deem advisable from
time to time, the manner, place or terms of payment or time of payment of the
Senior Capital Markets Debt may be amended or supplemented, any collateral
security at any time held by the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt for the
payment of any of the Senior Capital Markets Debt may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released, in each case, except as provided above, all
without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Creditor, and all
without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided
for herein, notwithstanding any such renewal, extension, modification,
acceleration, compromise, amendment, supplement, termination, sale, exchange,
waiver, surrender or release. Each Subordinated Creditor waives any and all
notice of the creation, modification, renewal, extension, alteration,
supplement or accrual of any of the Senior Capital Markets Debt and notice of
or proof of reliance by the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt upon this
agreement, and the Senior Capital Markets Debt and any of them shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance
upon this Agreement.

                                      -11-

for the purposes of assuring that the holders of Senior Capital Markets Debt
obtain or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and
powers herein granted.

         5.3      Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Agreement is intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Capital
Markets Debt, on the one hand and the Subordinated Creditors on the other, and
no other Person shall have any right, benefit or other interest under this
Agreement.
