2.3 PROCEEDINGS. In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit
of creditors or other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or
other winding up of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective properties (a "PROCEEDING"):
(i) the Lenders shall be entitled to receive Payment
in Full in cash of the Senior Indebtedness before any
Subordinated Creditor is entitled to receive any
payment upon the Subordinated Indebtedness, and
Lenders shall be entitled to receive for application
in payment of such Senior Indebtedness any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities or by set-off or
otherwise, which may be payable or deliverable in any
such Proceedings in respect of the Subordinated
Indebtedness;
(ii) any payment or distribution of assets of any
Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to
which any Subordinated Creditor would be entitled
pursuant to the Subordinated Indebtedness but for the
provisions hereof shall be paid by the liquidating
trustee or agent or other Person making such payment
or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a
receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise,
directly to the Lenders until the Senior Indebtedness
shall have been Paid in Full, and each Subordinated
Creditor acknowledges and agrees that such payment or
distribution may, particularly with respect to
interest on Senior Indebtedness after the
commencement of a Proceeding, result in such
Subordinated Creditor receiving less than it would
otherwise receive;
(iii) each Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably
(x) authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers,
trustees, debtors in possession, liquidators,
custodians, conservators and others having authority
in the premises to effect all such payments and
deliveries, and each Subordinated Creditor also
irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs, the
Agent and the Lenders until the Senior Indebtedness
shall have been Paid in Full, to demand, xxx for,
collect and receive every such payment or
distribution, and (y) agrees to execute and deliver
to the Agent and the Lenders all such further
instruments confirming the authorization referred to
in the foregoing clause (x); and
(iv) each Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably
authorizes, empowers and appoints Agent and the
Lenders (until the Senior Indebtedness shall have
been Paid in Full) as its agent and attorney in fact
to (x) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs
of claim upon the failure of any Subordinated
Creditor promptly to do so (and in any event prior to
thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to
file any proof) and (y) vote such claims in any such
Proceeding; provided that no holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall have any obligation to execute,
verify, deliver and/or file any such proof of claim
or vote such claim. In the event the
4
Agent or any Lender (or any agent, designee or
nominee thereof) votes any claim in accordance with
the authority granted hereby, such Subordinated
Creditor shall not be entitled to change or withdraw
such vote.
The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior
Indebtedness and the provisions hereof shall continue to
govern the relative rights and priorities of Lenders and the
Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior
Indebtedness or the security interests securing the Senior
Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or
disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding and the
provisions hereof shall be reinstated if at any time any
payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by Agent, any Lender or any agent,
designee or nominee of such holder.
2.4 INCORRECT PAYMENTS. If any payment (whether made in cash,
securities or other property) not permitted under this Agreement is
received by any Subordinated Creditor on account of the Subordinated
Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such
payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such Subordinated
Creditor, shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor for the
benefit of the Lenders and shall promptly be paid over to the Lenders,
or their respective designated representatives, for application (in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the Permitted
Refinancing Loan Documents) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness
then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in
Full.
2.5 SALE, TRANSFER. No Subordinated Creditor shall sell,
assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the
Subordinated Indebtedness or any Subordinated Note or other
Subordinated Indebtedness Document (a) without giving prior written
notice of such action to Agent, (b) unless prior to the consummation of
any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to
Agent and the Lenders a joinder to this Agreement, or an agreement
substantially identical to this Agreement and acceptable to Agent and
the Lenders, in either case providing for the continued subordination
and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior
Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of
all of the rights of Agent and Lenders arising under this Agreement and
(c) unless following such sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or
other transfer, there shall either be (i) no more than two more than
the number of holders of Subordinated Indebtedness on the date hereof
or (ii) one Person acting as agent for all holders of the Subordinated
Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to
Agent, such that any notices and communications to be delivered to
Subordinated Creditors hereunder and any consents required by
Subordinated Creditors shall be made to or obtained from such agent and
shall be binding on each Subordinated Creditor as if directly obtained
from such Subordinated Creditor. In the event of a permitted sale,
assignment, disposition or other transfer, each Subordinated Creditor
engaging in such sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, prior
to the consummation of any such action, shall cause the transferee
thereof to execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders a joinder to
this Agreement, or an agreement substantially identical to this
Agreement and acceptable to the Lenders, in either case providing for
the continued subordination and forbearance of the
5
Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein
and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Lenders and
Agent arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to
execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected
hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other
transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and
the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 10 below.
2.6 LEGENDS. Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full,
each of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents at all times shall
contain in a conspicuous manner the following legend:
"This [ Promissory Note ] and the indebtedness evidenced
hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set

the Lenders named therein, and Promethean Asset Management
L.L.C., to the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the
Subordination Agreement); and each holder of this Promissory
Note, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the
provisions of the Subordination Agreement."
2.7 RESTRICTION ON ACTION BY SUBORDINATED CREDITORS.
(a) Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full and
notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordinated Indebtedness
Documents, the Purchase Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the
Permitted Refinancing Loan Documents to the contrary, no Subordinated
Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, agree to
any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated
Indebtedness Documents, the effect of which is to (i) increase the
maximum principal amount of the Subordinated Indebtedness or rate of
interest (or cash pay rate of interest) on any of the Subordinated
Indebtedness, (ii) change to an earlier date, any date upon which
payments of principal or interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness are

Indebtedness, (iii) change in a manner adverse to any Obligor or add
any event of default or add or make more restrictive any covenant with
respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, (iv) change the redemption,

alter the subordination provisions with respect to the Subordinated
Indebtedness, including, without limitation, subordinating the
Subordinated Indebtedness to any other debt, (vi) shorten the maturity
date of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness or otherwise alter the
repayment terms of the Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner adverse to
any Obligor, (vii) take any liens in any assets of any Obligor or any
of its Subsidiaries or any other assets securing the Senior
Indebtedness or (viii) obtain any guaranties or credit support from any
Person which is an affiliate of any Obligor, or (ix) change or amend
any other term of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents if such
change or amendment would increase the obligations of any Obligor or
confer additional material rights on any
6
Subordinated Creditor or any other holder of the Subordinated
Indebtedness in a manner adverse to any Obligor, Agent or Lenders.
(b) Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, no
Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of
Agent, take or continue any action, or exercise any rights, remedies or
powers in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any Subordinated
Indebtedness Document, or exercise or continue to exercise any other
right or remedy at law or in equity that such Subordinated Creditor
might otherwise possess, to collect any amount due and payable in
respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness, including, without
limitation, the acceleration of the Subordinated Indebtedness, the
commencement of any action to enforce payment or foreclosure on any
lien or security interest, the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or
the taking advantage of any other insolvency law of any jurisdiction
(any of the foregoing, an "ENFORCEMENT ACTION"). If any Subordinated
Creditor shall attempt to take any Enforcement Action or otherwise seek
to collect or realize upon any of the Subordinated Indebtedness in
violation of the terms hereof, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness
may, by virtue of the terms hereof, restrain any such Enforcement
Action or other action, either in its own name or in the name of the
applicable Obligor.
(c) Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, any Liens
of Subordinated Creditors in the Collateral which may exist in breach
of each Subordinated Creditor's agreement pursuant to subsection
2.7(a)(vii) or Section 18 of this Agreement shall be and hereby are
subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the Liens of Agent
and Lenders in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order
of perfection of any such Liens. In the event that any Subordinated
Creditor obtains any Liens in the Collateral in violation of subsection
2.7(a)(vii) or Section 18 of this Agreement, Subordinated Creditors (i)
shall (or shall cause their agent to) promptly execute and deliver to
Agent such termination statements and releases as Agent shall request
to effect the release of the Liens of such Subordinated Creditor in
such Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed to have authorized Agent to
file any and all termination statements required by Agent in respect of
such Liens. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Subordinated Creditor
hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Subordinated Creditor and in
the name of such Subordinated Creditor or otherwise, to execute and
deliver any document or instrument which such Subordinated Creditor may
be required to deliver pursuant to this subsection 2.7(c).
3. CONTINUED EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS TO SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS.

payment terms thereof and the provisions thereof regarding default or
any other matter) or exercise (or refrain from exercising) any of their
rights under the Loan Documents, all without notice to or consent from
the Subordinated Creditors and without incurring liability to any
Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the
obligations of any Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement. No
compromise, alteration, amendment, renewal, restatement, refinancing or
other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of any
liability or obligation under or in respect of, any terms, covenants or
conditions of Senior Indebtedness or the Loan Documents, whether or not
in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indebtedness, shall in
any way alter or affect any of the subordination provisions hereof.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(A) Each Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants
(as to itself and not as to any other Subordinated Creditor) to Agent
and Lenders as follows:
4.1 EXISTENCE AND POWER. If an entity, such Subordinated
Creditor is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of its organization.
4.2 AUTHORITY. Such Subordinated Creditor has full power
and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out
the terms of this Agreement and to incur the obligations
provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized
by all proper and necessary action and are not prohibited

4.3 BINDING AGREEMENTS. This Agreement, when executed
and delivered, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Subordinated Creditor enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
4.4 CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS; LITIGATION. No provisions
of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, statute,
rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on such
Subordinated Creditor or affecting the property of such
Subordinated Creditor conflicts with, or requires any consent
which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way
prevent the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of
this Agreement. The execution, delivery and carrying out of
the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or
obligation to create, any Lien upon the property of such
Subordinated Creditor pursuant to the terms of any such
mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement. No pending or, to
the best of such
8
Subordinated Creditor's knowledge, threatened, litigation,
arbitration or other proceedings if adversely determined would
in any way prevent the performance of the terms of this
Agreement.
4.5 NO DIVESTITURE. On the date hereof, such
Subordinated Creditor which is signatory hereto is the current
owner and holder of its Subordinated Note and all other
Subordinated Indebtedness Documents (if any).

respect to the Subordinated Note held by Subordinated Creditor

applicable to such Subordinated Note.

Lenders that the signatory to this Agreement under the heading
"Subordinated Creditor" constitutes the only holder of the Subordinated
Note and the other Subordinated Indebtedness.
5. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS, NO WAIVERS. Each and every right, remedy and
power granted to Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other right, remedy or power specifically granted herein, in the Purchase
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Permitted Refinancing Loan Documents or
now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise,
and may be exercised by Agent or Lenders, from time to time, concurrently or
independently and as often and in such order as Agent or Lenders may deem
expedient. Any failure or delay on the part of Agent or Lenders in exercising
any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Agent's or
Lenders' right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial
exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power,
and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of Agent's
or Lenders' rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of
dealing or performance among the parties hereto.
6. MODIFICATION. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, or any consent to any departure by Agent or any Subordinated Creditor
therefrom, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and
signed by Agent and the holders of at least 51% of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Subordinated Note and then such modification, waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any
Subordinated Creditor in any event not specifically required of Agent hereunder
shall not entitle any Subordinated Creditor to any other or further notice or
demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required
hereunder.
7. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS AND ACTIONS. Each Subordinated Creditor at any
time, and from time to time, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
