If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to entering into the Celtic Loan Agreement, Celtic has requested that the Lender execute and deliver a Debt Subordination Agreement of even date herewith ("Debt Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which the Neptune Debt shall be subordinate to the Celtic Debt, and a Lien Subordination Agreement of even date herewith ("Lien Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which the security interest acquired by Celtic in certain property of the Borrower as collateral securing the Celtic Debt shall be senior to any security interest in all or any part of the Borrower's collateral securing the Neptune Debt.

WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to enter into the Debt Subordination Agreement and the Lien Subordination Agreement to the extent and subject to terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 3. Conditions Subsequent. The obligation of the Lender to execute the Debt Subordination Agreement and the Lien Subordination Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, on or before the date applicable thereto, of each of the following conditions subsequent (the failure by the Borrower to so perform or cause to be performed constituting an immediate Event of Default under the Business Loan Agreement):

(a): The Borrower shall have completed the M & L Wholesale Foods, LLC acquisition within ten (10) days after the date hereof, but in no event later than January 15, 2006, and the Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in support of the Borrower's one hundred percent (100%) membership interest in M & L Wholesale Foods, LLC.

Section 5. New Capital Contributions. In the event that the Borrower receives new capital contributions, such amounts shall be used to pay in cash, immediately upon disbursement of the same to the Borrower, the principal of and accrued unpaid interest on the Neptune Debt as follows: (a) ten percent (10%) of any amounts received by the Borrower up to Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), (b) fifty percent (50%) of any amounts in excess of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (350,000) and up to Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) received by the Borrower, and (c) seventy-five percent (75%) of any amounts in excess of Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) received by the Borrower thereafter until the Lender shall have received full payment of the Neptune Debt.

Section 6. Assignment of Celtic's Interest. In the event that the Borrower defaults in payment of any obligation under the Celtic Loan Agreement in respect of principal or interest when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, or in the event that the Borrower defaults in any other manner under the Celtic Loan Agreement and other related loan documents, the Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, of curing such default on behalf of the Borrower by providing Celtic with full payment of the Celtic Debt in return for Celtic's assignment of one hundred percent (100%) of Celtic's rights and obligations under the Celtic Loan Agreement and other related loan documents.

The terms of such option and procedures for exercise thereof shall be those as set forth in the Debt Subordination Agreement.
