Trust.  In the event that any
Subordinated Lender shall receive any payment, or security for payment, on the
Subordinated Debt which such Subordinated Lender is not entitled to receive or
accept under the provisions of this Section 2, such Subordinated Lender

Lender, in the form received, properly endorsed and assigned, to be applied to
payment of or held by Senior Lender, as security for the Senior Debt, as the

failure by such Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment,

3.2           Senior Lender hereby
approves the execution and delivery of the Subordinated Loan Documents as the
same exist as of the date hereof and acknowledges that such execution and
delivery shall not constitute an event of default under the Senior Loan
Documents.

 

4.             Continuing
Subordination.  The subordination
effected by this Agreement is a continuing subordination and may not be
modified or terminated by any Subordinated Lender or any other holder of any
Subordinated Debt until all of the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full. At
any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the
Subordinated Lenders or any other holder of any Subordinated Debt, and without
impairing or affecting the obligations of any of them hereunder:

 

4.1           Senior Lender may
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies against Borrower
subject to each respective Subordinated Lender’s rights pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement;

 

4.2           The Senior Loan
Documents may be revised, amended or otherwise modified for the purpose of
adding or changing any provisions thereof or changing in any manner the rights
of Senior Lender and/or Borrower;

 

4.3           The terms of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in the event that all or any
portion of the Senior Debt is refunded, refinanced, or extended and the term
“Senior Debt” shall include any Senior Debt which is refunded, refinanced or
extended on one or more occasions, and in any such case, the terms “Securities
Purchase Agreement” and “Senior Loan Documents” and the like as used herein
shall refer to the agreements and instruments executed in connection with any
such refunding, refinancing or extension;

 

4.4           Subject to the
provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the maturity of the Senior Debt
may be accelerated after the occurrence of an event of default and any
Collateral or any other rights of Senior Lender may be exchanged, sold,
surrendered, released or otherwise dealt with in any lawful manner; and

 

4.5           Any person liable in
any manner for payment of all or any part of the Senior Debt may be released.

 

Notwithstanding the
occurrence of any of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

 

5.             No Modification of
Subordinated Debt.  Until the Senior
Debt shall have been Paid in Full, neither Borrower nor any Subordinated Lender
shall amend, modify or terminate the Subordinated Notes, or any other
Subordinated Loan Document (as the same exist on the date hereof) without the
prior written consent of Senior Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; and any such purported amendment, modification or termination without
such consent shall be ineffective; this prohibition includes, but not by way of
limitation, any acceleration of the amortization schedule of the
Subordinated Debt and any increase in the rate

 

5

 

of interest that accrues thereon. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Subordinated Lender may agree to amend their respective
Subordinated Loan Documents without Senior Lender’s consent to (i) reduce the
interest rate, (ii) extend the maturity of any principal amount or interest due
thereunder, or (iii) waive or otherwise delete any provision thereof with
respect to such Subordinated Lender’s rights thereunder, provided  that
a copy of any such amendment shall be provided to Senior Lender
contemporaneously with the execution thereof. Any reference to any renewal,
extension, replacement or other modification of any of the Subordinated Loan
Documents that may be contained in the definition of any of the Subordinated
Loan Documents set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive the
consent required by this Section 5 or otherwise limit in any way Senior
Lender’s rights under this Section 5.

 

6.             Senior Debt and
Subordinated Debt Default and Default Notices.

 

6.1           If an event of default
shall occur under or within the meaning of any of the Senior Loan Documents, a
default and event of default shall occur under the Subordinated Lender
Documents.  Any notice of an “event of
default” under the Senior Loan Documents which Senior Lender sends to Borrower
shall also be simultaneously sent to Subordinated Lenders (and their counsel)
at the address set forth in Section 13 below.

 

6.2           If a default or event
of default shall occur under or within the meaning of any of the Subordinated
Lender Documents, an event of default shall occur under the Senior Loan
Documents.  Any notice of “default” or
“event of default” under the Subordinated Loan Documents which any respective
Subordinated Lender sends to Borrower shall also be simultaneously sent to
Senior Lender (and its counsel) at the addresses set forth in Section 13
below.

 

7.             Bankruptcy
Financing Issues.  This Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect after the filing of any petition for
relief by or against Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) and all converted or succeeding
cases in respect thereof (all references herein to Borrower being deemed to
apply to Borrower as debtor-in-possession and to a trustee for Borrower), and
shall apply with full force and effect with respect to all Collateral acquired
by Borrower, and to all Senior Debt and Subordinated Debt incurred by Borrower,
subsequent to such filing.  If Borrower
shall become subject to a proceeding under the Code, and if the Senior Lender
shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral by Borrower or to provide
post-petition financing from the Senior Lender to Borrower, each Subordinated
Lender agrees as follows:  (a) no notice
need be provided to any respective Subordinated Lender for such use of cash
collateral or such post-petition financing; and (b) no objection will be raised
by the Subordinated Lenders to any such use of cash collateral or such
post-petition financing from the Senior Lender.  No objection will be raised by the Subordinated Lenders to the
Senior Lender’s motion for relief from automatic stay in any such proceeding to
foreclose on, sell or otherwise realize upon the Collateral.  In case of any assignment by Borrower for
the benefit of creditors, and in case of the appointment of any receiver for
Borrower or Borrower’s business or assets, and in case of any dissolution or
other winding up of the affairs of Borrower, or of Borrower’s business, and in
all such cases respectively, the officer of Borrower and any assignee, trustee
in bankruptcy, receiver, and other person or persons in charge, are hereby
directed to pay to Senior Lender the full amount of Senior Lender’s claims
against Borrower before making any payment to any Subordinated Lender, and so
far as may be necessary for that purpose, the Subordinated

 

6

 

Lenders hereby transfer and assign to Senior Lender
all their rights to any payment or distribution which might otherwise be coming
to it.  Senior Lender is hereby
irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Subordinated
Lenders to file any and all proofs of claim and any other documents and to take
all other action, either in the name of Senior Lender or any Subordinated
Lender, which in the opinion of Senior Lender is necessary or desirable to
enable Senior Lender to obtain all such payments.

 

8.             Transfers: Binding
Effect.

 

8.1           Subject to
Section 8.2 below, Senior Lender shall have the right to sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Senior Debt, or any interest
therein, from time to time, without the prior consent of any other party
hereto.

 

8.2           This Agreement shall
extend to and bind the respective successors, assigns, and transferees of the
parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of any such successor, assignee
or transferee but shall not otherwise create any rights or benefits for any
third party.

 

9.             Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not after or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.

 

10.           Conflicts with
Senior or Subordinated Loan Documents. 
Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Senior Loan Documents or
the Subordinated Loan Documents or any other agreement to which Borrower,
Senior Lender or the Subordinated Lenders are a party or by which any of them
is bound, in the event that any term or provision of any such instrument or agreement
conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
until such time as the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

11.           Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

 

12.           Waivers: Amendments,
Etc.  Neither this Agreement nor any
of the terms hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless
such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by each
of Senior Lender and each Subordinated Lender.

 

13.           Notice.  Any notices or other communications required
or permitted to be given hereunder must be given in writing and (i) personally

not) on the day it is mailed or personally delivered as aforesaid. Any party
may change its address for purposes of this Agreement by giving notice of such
change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 13.

 

14.           Multiple
Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may
execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

 

15.           Further Assurances.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agree to
promptly execute and deliver to the other parties hereto any and all such
further instruments and documents and to take such further action as such other
parties may at any time reasonably request in order to fully effect the
purposes of this Agreement.

 

16.           Reliance by Senior
Lender; Waiver of Notices; No Representations by Senior Lender; Management of
Credit Facilities by Senior Lender. 
All of the Senior Debt shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in
reliance upon this Agreement.  Each
Subordinated Lender expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by Senior
Lender of the provisions of this Agreement and all other notices not
specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Each Subordinated Lender agrees that Senior
Lender has not made any representation or warranty with respect to the due
execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of any of the
Senior Loan Documents, the perfection or priority or any security interest or
lien securing any or all of the Senior Debt or the collectibility of any of the
Senior Debt.  Senior Lender shall be
entitled to manage and supervise its credit facilities with Borrower in
accordance with applicable law and its usual business practices (subject to the
provisions of this Agreement), modified from time to time as it deems
appropriate under the circumstances, and Senior Lender shall have no liability
to any Subordinated Lender for any loss, claim or damage allegedly suffered by
any Subordinated Lender in any proceeding by Senior Lender to foreclose or
otherwise enforce any of its security interests in and/or liens on any of the
Collateral.

 

17.           Financial Condition
of Borrower.  Each Subordinated
Lender hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
financial condition of Borrower and any and all guarantors of the Subordinated
Debt and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Subordinated Debt that diligent inquiry would reveal and each Subordinated

 

9

 

Lender hereby agrees that Senior Lender shall have no
duty to advise any Subordinated Lender of any information regarding such
condition or any such circumstances.

 

18.           Miscellaneous.

 

18.1         Every word herein importing
the singular number shall also be construed to extend to and include the plural
number also and vice versa.

 

18.2         In the event that any
term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to
persons or circumstances than those to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable, shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

 

18.3         This Agreement and all
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive
and continue in full force and effect until such time as all of the Senior Debt
has been indefeasibly Paid in Full.

 

18.4         The parties acknowledge
that each party and its respective counsel have reviewed and revised this
Agreement and agree that any rule of construction to the effect that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in
the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

18.5         Neither Senior Lender nor
any Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to have waived any of their respective
rights or remedies under this Agreement unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by the party to be charged.  No
delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any such right or
remedy shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or any other right
or remedy.  A waiver on any one occasion
shall not be construed as bar to or a waiver of the same right or remedy on any
future occasion.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Senior Lender’s acquiescence in the payment of any
sum to any Subordinated Lender in contravention of the terms of this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of the right of Senior Lender to require prompt
performance of any and all of the covenants contained in this Agreement.

 

18.6         Time is of the essence
with respect to the payment, performance and observance of each of the
covenants of each of the parties to this Agreement.

 

18.7         Each party hereto
acknowledges that to the extent that no adequate remedy at law exists for
breach of its obligations under this Agreement in the event any party fails to
comply with its obligations hereunder, the other party shall have the right to
obtain specific performance of the obligations of such defaulting party,
injunctive relief or such other equitable relief as may be available.

 

18.8         The failure of any party
to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions set forth in this
Agreement shall not alter, or be deemed to alter, in any way the subordination
provisions hereof or the relative priorities established hereby.

 

10

 

19.           NO REFINANCING
COMMITMENT.  Borrower and
Subordinated Lenders each hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any
references herein to the refunding, refinancing or extension of the Senior
Debt, the Senior Lender has not impliedly or expressly committed to provide any
such refunding, refinancing or extension nor have any terms of any such
refunding, refinancing or extension been in any way agreed to.  Borrower and Senior Lender hereby
acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any references herein to the
refinancing or extension of the Subordinated Debt, no Subordinated Lender has
impliedly or expressly committed to provide such refinancing or extension, nor
has any terms of any such refinancing or extension been in any way agreed to.

 

20.           FINAL AGREEMENT.  THIS WRITTEN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, THE
SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE SUBORDINATED LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

 

21.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SENIOR LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS OF
WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS A PART, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN). OR ACTIONS BY ANY PARTY. THIS MUTUAL
WAIVER IS GIVEN AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT.
