SECTION
2. SUBORDINATION.
2.1. Subordination
of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt.
(a) The
Subordinated Creditor hereby covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in any of the Subordinated Debt Documents, the payment
of any or all of the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinate and subject in claim
and right and time of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set

Debt. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt is now
outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, shall be
deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained in
this Agreement.
6
(b) Notwithstanding
(i) anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents, (ii)
the time of incurrence of any Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt, (iii) the order
or method of attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Senior Debt or
Subordinated Debt, (iv) the time or order of filing or recording of, or the
failure to file or record, financing statements, mortgages or other documents
required to perfect any Lien upon any Collateral, (v) the time of taking
possession or control over any Collateral, (vi) that any Senior Lien with
respect to Collateral may not have been perfected or may be or have become
subordinated, by equitable subordination or otherwise, to any other Lien, or
(vii) the rules for determining priority under any law governing relative
priorities of Liens: as between or among the Senior Agent and the Senior
Lenders, on one hand, and the Subordinated Creditor on the other hand, any and
all Senior Liens on Collateral, whether such Liens are now or hereafter held by
or on behalf of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender or any trustee therefor,
regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of
law, subrogation or otherwise, will be senior in all respects and prior to any
Subordinated Lien on Collateral securing any Subordinated Debt, whether such
Liens are now or hereafter held by the Subordinated Creditor or the Senior Agent
or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise.
(c) So
long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, whether or not any Insolvency
Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, the Subordinated
Creditor hereto agrees that after the date hereof: (i) the Subordinated Creditor
shall not acquire, accept or hold any Lien on any property of any Obligor, or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates securing any Subordinated Debt which
property is not also subject to the Lien of the Senior Agent for the
benefit of the Senior Lenders and (ii) the Subordinated Creditor shall not
permit any Obligor to grant any Lien on any of its property, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to xxxxx x Xxxx on any of its property, to secure
Subordinated Debt unless it, or such Subsidiary or Affiliate, has granted (or
offered to grant with a reasonable opportunity for such Lien to be accepted) a
corresponding Lien on such property in favor of the Senior Lenders; provided, however,
notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, the refusal of the Senior Lenders to
accept a Lien on any property of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates shall not prohibit the taking of a Lien on such property by the
Subordinated Creditor.
(d) Subordinated
Creditor agrees that Subordinated Creditor shall not (and hereby waives any
right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding
(including any Proceeding), the existence, perfection, priority, validity or
enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of the Senior Agent or the Senior
Lenders in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this
Agreement, or take, or consent to or acquiesce in, the taking of, any action to
set aside, challenge or otherwise dispute the existence or priority of any
Senior Debt or the creation, attachment, perfection, enforceability, priority or
continuation of any lien or security interest of the Senior Agent or the Senior
Lenders in or on any assets of any Obligor constituting Collateral.

2.2. Subordinated
Debt Payment Restrictions.
(a) Except
for Permitted Distributions as set forth below and as permitted under the Senior
Loan Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that the Subordinated
Creditor will not accept or request or demand any Distribution with respect to
the Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt is Paid in
Full. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Subordinated Creditor may receive (i) the Xxxxxx Closing Date Payment, (ii)
Scheduled Subordinated Debt Payments consisting of interest in an amount not to
exceed eight percent (8%) per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the
Subordinated Debt, (iii) payment or reimbursement of attorneys fees and
expenses, if any, required under the Indemnification Agreement not
exceeding $50,000 in any Fiscal Year, in each case of these clauses (i)-(iii),
so long as no Senior Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv)
commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending with the Permitted Distribution Start
Date, and each Fiscal Quarter end thereafter, within ten (10) days (the “Payment
Period”) after receipt of the financial statements and compliance certificates
required to be delivered to Senior Agent under the Senior Loan Agreement for
such Fiscal Quarter then most recently ended, the Subordinated Creditor may
receive quarterly payments of principal on the Subordinated Debt, provided that
(A) the amount of such principal payment (each, an “Excess Cash Flow
Payment”), shall not exceed (x) 25% of Quarterly Excess Cash Flow in the
case of the first two (2) Fiscal Quarters for which an Excess Cash Flow Payment
is made and with respect to any Fiscal Quarter ending after the Hy-Tech
Repayment Date or (y) 12 1/2% of Quarterly Excess Cash Flow with respect to any
other Fiscal Quarter end, (B) Availability under the Senior
Debt Documents shall be no less than $1,000,000 (i) at any time during the
period of sixty days before (determined on a pro forma basis giving effect to
the principal payment as if it had occurred on the first day of such sixty (60)
day period), (ii) on the day the payment is made, after giving effect thereto
and (iii) for each of the sixty (60) days after such payment is made on a
projected basis (such projections to be reasonably satisfactory to Senior
Agent) and (C) no Senior Default shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time of making such payment (each a “Permitted
Distribution”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, each Excess Cash Flow Payment made with respect to a Fiscal Quarter
shall be reduced by the amount of all Excess Cash Flow Payments made with
respect to prior Fiscal Quarters in the same Fiscal Year.
(b) Any
Scheduled Subordinated Debt Payments missed due to the application of paragraph
(a) of this Section
2.2, are permitted to accrue and may be paid during
any subsequent Payment Period during which a Permitted Distribution
may be made, but only to the extent that the conditions set forth in paragraph
(a)(B) and (C) of this Section 2.2 are
satisfied at the time of any payment (after giving effect to any other Permitted
Distribution made or to be made at such time).
(c) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Section 2.2 to the
contrary, the failure of any Obligor to make any Distribution with respect to
the Subordinated Debt by reason of the operation of this Section 2.2 shall not
be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Subordinated Debt Default under
the applicable Subordinated Debt Documents.
(d) If
any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by
any Obligor or accepted by Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is made
and received by Subordinated Creditor, such Distribution shall not be commingled
with any of the assets of Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by
Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders and
shall be promptly paid over to Senior Agent for application (in accordance with
the Senior Debt Documents) to the Senior Debt, until all of the Senior Debt is
Paid in Full.

the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender of any rights and remedies relating to any
Collateral, whether under the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise;
or
(iii) object
to or exercise any rights that may arise under applicable law as a result of

any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion,
claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or

agreement pursuant to which such assignee, successor or transferee, as
applicable, will become a party hereto as fully as if such person were a
signatory hereto and providing for the effectiveness of this Agreement to such
assignee, successor or transferee, as applicable.

time to vote any such claim; provided that Senior
Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any
such proof of claim. In the event that Senior Agent votes any claim
in accordance with the authority granted hereby, Subordinated Creditor shall not
be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.
11
3.2. DIP
Financing Issues. If any Obligor becomes subject to any
Proceeding and the Senior Agent agrees to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as
such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) consisting of
proceeds of the Collateral or to permit any Obligor to obtain financing, whether
from the Senior Agent, the holders of the Senior Debt or any other Person, under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law that is secured
by Liens that are senior to or on a parity with all Senior Liens on any or all
of the Collateral (the “DIP Financing”), then
Subordinated Creditor:
(a) will
not contest or otherwise object to such use of Cash Collateral or such DIP
Financing on any basis available to or capable of being asserted by the
Subordinated Creditor (including, without limitation, any objection alleging any
Obligor’s failure or inability to provide “adequate protection” for any Lien of
the Subordinated Creditor on the Collateral). The foregoing shall not
prevent the Subordinated Creditor from exercising their rights to vote for or
against a plan of reorganization;
(b) will
agree (and is hereby deemed to consent) to the subordination of all Liens held
by the Subordinated Creditor to the Liens on the Collateral securing such DIP
Financing; and
(c) will
not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with such DIP
Financing or use of Cash Collateral.
3.3. Relief
from the Automatic Stay. Until the Senior
Debt is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Creditor will agree not to seek (or
support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other
stay in any Proceeding with respect to the Collateral without the prior written
consent of the Senior Agent, unless the Senior Agent has already filed a motion
(which remains pending) for relief from the automatic stay (or other applicable
stay) with respect to its interest in the Collateral.
3.4. Adequate
Protection.
(a) Until
the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees not to
contest (or support any other Person contesting):
(i) any
request by the Senior Agent for adequate protection with respect to the
Collateral; or
(ii) any
objection by the Senior Agent to any motion, relief, action or proceeding, which
objection is based on a claim by the Senior Agent asserting a lack of adequate
protection with respect to the Collateral.
(b) In
any Proceeding prior to the Senior Debt being Paid in Full, if the Senior Agent
is granted adequate protection with respect to the Collateral in the form of
additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP
Financing, the Subordinated Creditor, may seek or request adequate protection
with respect to its interests in the Collateral in the form of a Lien on the
same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens
securing the Senior Debt on the same basis as the other Liens of the
Subordinated Creditor on Collateral.
12
3.5. Sale
Issues. Until the Senior
Debt is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Creditor agrees that the Subordinated
Creditor will not object to or oppose, and hereby consents to, a Disposition of
any Collateral (or any portion thereof) free and clear of Liens or other claims
under Section 363 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior
Agent has consented to such Disposition of such assets or if such Disposition is
permitted under the terms of the Senior Debt Documents or permitted pursuant to
a wavier or consent by the Senior Lenders of a transaction otherwise prohibited
by the Senior Debt Documents (whether or not an Event of Default under, and as
defined in, the Senior Debt Documents has occurred and is
continuing).
3.6. Avoidance
Issues. If the Senior
Agent or any Senior Lender is required in any Proceeding or otherwise to turn
over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount paid in respect of
the Senior Debt owing to such Person (a “Recovery”), then such
Senior Agent or Senior Lender will be entitled to a reinstatement of the
relevant Senior Debt with respect to all such recovered amounts. If
this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement
will be reinstated in full force and effect, and the prior termination will not
diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement from and after the date of
reinstatement.
3.7. Reorganization
Securities. If, in any Proceeding, debt obligations of any
Obligor, as reorganized debtor, secured by Liens upon any property of such
reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or
similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of any Senior Debt or
Subordinated Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on
account of the Senior Debt and the Subordinated Debt are secured by Liens upon
the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the
distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with
like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such
debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.
3.8. Post-Petition
Interest. The Subordinated Creditor will not oppose or seek to
challenge any claim by the Senior Agent for allowance in any Proceeding of
Senior Debt consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent
of the value of the Lien securing the obligations owing to such
claimant.
3.9. Waiver -
1111(b)(2) Issues. The Subordinated
Creditor waives any objection or claim the Subordinated Creditor may hereafter
have against the Senior Agent or the Senior Lenders arising out of the election
of the Senior Agent or the Senior Lenders of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code to any claims of the Person making such
election, and will agree that in the case of any such election the Subordinated
Creditor will have no claim or right to payment with respect to the Collateral
in or from such Proceeding. Any reorganization securities issued with
respect to such election will be allocated solely to the holders of Senior
Debt.
13
SECTION
4. MODIFICATIONS
TO SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS AND SUBORDINATED DEBT DOCUMENTS.
4.1. Modifications
to Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise required under
the Senior Debt Documents, Senior Lenders may at any time and from time to time
without the consent of or notice to Subordinated Creditor, without incurring
liability to Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the
obligations of Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or
place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter, amend or
modify any of the terms of the Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any
agreement, note, guarantee or other instrument evidencing or securing or
otherwise relating to the Senior Debt.
4.2. Modifications
to Subordinated Debt Documents. Until the Senior Debt has been
Paid in Full, Subordinated Creditor shall not (a) agree to any amendment,
modification or supplement to the Subordinated Debt Documents that adversely
affects any Senior Lender without the prior written consent of Senior Agent, (b)
agree to any other amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated
Debt Documents without providing five days’ prior written notice to the Senior
Agent or (c) waiver, release, forgive or convert to equity or otherwise
relinquish any Subordinated Debt, or terminate, release, let expire, waiver or
modify the Subordinated Liens or the Subordinated Debt Collateral.
SECTION
5. WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS BY
SUBORDINATED CREDITOR.
5.1. Marshaling. Subordinated
Creditor hereby waives any rights the Subordinated Creditor may have under
applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require
Senior Agent or Senior Lenders to marshal any property of any Obligor or any
guarantor of the Senior Debt for the benefit of Subordinated
Creditor.
5.2. Rights
Relating to Senior Agent’s Actions with respect to the
Collateral. Subordinated Creditor hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any rights that the Subordinated Creditor may have
to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing
Senior Agent or Senior Lenders from taking, or refraining from taking, any
action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without
limitation of the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees (a) that the
Subordinated Creditor has no right to direct or object to the manner in which
Senior Agent and Senior Lenders apply the proceeds of the Collateral resulting
from the exercise by Senior Agent and Senior Lenders of rights and remedies
under the Senior Debt Documents to the Senior Debt and (b) that Senior Agent has
not assumed any obligation to act as the Senior Agent for Subordinated Creditor
with respect to the Collateral.
SECTION
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
SUBORDINATED CREDITOR. Subordinated Creditor hereby represents
and warrants to Senior Agent and Senior Lenders that as of the date
hereof: (a) Subordinated Creditor is a natural person;
(b) Subordinated Creditor has the capacity, power and authority to enter
into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement; (c) the
execution of this Agreement by Subordinated Creditor will not violate or
conflict with any material agreement binding upon 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
Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against 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; and (e)
Subordinated Creditor is the sole holder and owner, beneficially and of record,
of the Subordinated Debt Documents (except to the extent of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx’x
interest in certain of the Subordinated Debt Documents, as heretofore disclosed
to Senior Agent) and the Subordinated Debt.
14
SECTION
7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1. SUBROGATION. After
the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, Subordinated Creditor shall be subrogated to
the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders to receive Distributions with
respect to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt is paid in full in
cash. 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
holders of the Senior Debt in a Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution
received by 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 Subordinated Creditor in trust as property of
the holders of the Senior Debt and Subordinated Creditor shall forthwith deliver
the same to Senior Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders for application
to the Senior Debt until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.
7.2. MODIFICATION. Any
