been paid in full and the Senior Lenders' commitments to make loans

Lender will not take, demand, or receive from a Borrower, and a

Loans;
4

(iii) unless and until the Senior Obligations have

action to enforce payment of any part or all of the Subordinated
Obligations;
(iv) none of the provisions of subsections 2(b)(iii)

Notice with respect to any or all Events of Default and each such Blockage

(e) A Blockage Period shall be effective without the delivery
of a Blockage Notice if (i) the events which would have been set forth in the
Blockage Notice have occurred and (ii) such Blockage Notice may not be given
because of the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. 362 or any successor statute, or
the Subordinated Lender has actual notice of an Event of Default.
(f) The expressions "prior payment in full," "payment in
full," "paid in full" and any other similar terms or phrases when used herein
with respect to the Senior Obligations shall mean the payment in full, in
immediately available funds, of all of the Senior Obligations.
(g) The Subordinated Lender hereby represents and warrant that
as of the date hereof, the Borrowers have no obligations to the Subordinated
Lender.
3. Additional Provisions Concerning Subordination.
(a) The Subordinated Lender and the Borrowers agree that upon
the occurrence of any Insolvency Event:
(i) all Senior Obligations shall be paid in full
before any payment or distribution (other than a distribution of
securities which are subordinate to the payment of all Senior
Obligations then outstanding) is made with respect to the Subordinated
Obligations; and
(ii) any payment or distribution of assets of a
Borrower, whether in cash, property or securities (other than a
distribution of securities which are subordinate
5
6
to the payment of all Senior Obligations then outstanding), to which
the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions
hereof, shall be paid or delivered by such Borrower, or any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, disbursing agent or other
Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the Agent, to
the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Obligations, before any
payment or distribution shall be made to the Subordinated Lender.
(b) The Subordinated Lender will not commence or join with any
other creditor or creditors of a Borrower in commencing any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency proceedings against a Borrower. At any meeting of
creditors of a Borrower or in the event of any proceeding, voluntary or
involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the
assets of a Borrower or the proceeds thereof, whether such proceeding be for the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of a Borrower or its business, a
receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or a proceeding by or against a Borrower for relief under any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law or any law relating to the relief
of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement,
composition or extension or otherwise, if all Senior Obligations have not been
paid in full at the time, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such
meeting or in any such proceeding:
(i) To enforce claims comprising Subordinated
Obligations either in its own name or the name or names the
Subordinated Lender, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or
otherwise;
(ii) To collect any assets of a Borrower distributed,
divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any such
securities issued, on account of Subordinated Obligations and apply the
same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same that the Agent
in its discretion elects to effect, to Senior Obligations until all
Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, rendering any surplus
to the Subordinated Lender, pro rata;
(iii) To vote claims comprising Subordinated
Obligations to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete
liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition, extension or
otherwise; and
(iv) To take generally any action in connection with
any such meeting or proceeding which the Subordinated Lender might
otherwise take.
(c) If any payment from a Borrower shall be collected or
received by the Subordinated Lender in respect of the Subordinated Obligations,
except payments permitted to be made at the time of payment as provided in this
Agreement, the Subordinated Lender forthwith shall deliver the same to the
Agent, in the form received, duly endorsed to the Agent, if required, to be
applied to the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior
Obligations are paid in full. Until so delivered, such payment or distribution
shall
6
7
be held in trust by the Subordinated Lender as the property of the Agent,
segregated from other funds and property held by the Subordinated Lender. Until
the Senior Obligations are paid in full, the Subordinated Lender shall not have
any right of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or indemnity
whatsoever from any assets of a Borrower or any guarantor or provider of
collateral security for the Senior Obligations.
4. Legend. The Subordinated Lender shall cause a conspicuous
legend to be placed on each Subordinated Note to the following effect:
"This Note, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby, is
subordinate and junior in right of payment in the manner and to the
extent set forth in an agreement (the "Subordination Agreement") dated
as of July 20, 1998 originally made by the maker and payee of this Note
in favor of the Senior Lenders to all indebtedness at any time owed by
the maker of this Note to such Bank (or to its successor and assigns or
subsequent holder of "Senior Obligations" as defined in the
Subordination Agreement), and each holder of this Note, by its
acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the Subordination Agreement, and
this Note may be sold or otherwise transferred only in compliance with
the conditions specified in the Subordination Agreement."
5. Liens. The Subordinated Lender shall not have or claim any
security interest, lien, claim, right or other encumbrance in or on any property
of a Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations. The Subordinated
Lender hereby agrees, upon request of the Senior Lender at any time and from
time to time, to execute such other documents or instruments as may be requested
by the Agent further to evidence of public record or otherwise the senior
priority of the Senior Obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, and to
execute a subordination agreement on similar terms in favor of any successors or
assigns of the Agent or other lender extending credit to a Borrower in exchange
or replacement of the Senior Obligations.
6. Consent of Subordinated Lender.
(a) The Subordinated Lender consents that, without the
necessity of any reservation of rights and without notice to or further assent:
(i) any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations
made by the Agent or the Senior Lenders may be rescinded in whole or in
part by the Agent or the Senior Lenders, and any Senior Obligation may
be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of a
Borrower or any guarantor or any other party upon or for any part
thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of
offset with respect thereto, or any obligation or liability of a
Borrower or any other party under the Senior Credit Agreement or any
other agreement, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be
renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
surrendered, or released by the Agent or the Senior Lenders; and
7
8
(ii) the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior Notes, any
other Senior Loan Document and the Senior Obligations may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Agent
or the Senior Lenders may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security at any time held by the Agent or the Senior Lenders
for the payment of any of the Senior Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released,
in each case all without notice to or further assent by the Subordinated Lender,
which will remain bound under this Agreement, and all without impairing,
abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein.
(b) The Subordinated Lender waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and
notice of or proof of reliance by the Agent or the Senior Lenders upon this
Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively
to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement,
and all dealings between a Borrower and the Agent or the Senior Lenders shall be
deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. The
Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and the Senior
Lenders have relied upon the subordination provided for herein in entering into
the Senior Credit Agreement and in making funds available to a Borrower
thereunder. The Subordinated Lender waives notice of or proof of reliance on
this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.
7. Senior Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of
the Agent and the Senior Lenders hereunder, and all agreements and obligations
of the Subordinated Lender and the Borrowers hereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior
Security Documents or any other Senior Loan Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any
amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct
or otherwise, of the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement or any other
Senior Security Document;
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security
interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other
modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise,
of all or any of the Senior Obligations or any guarantee thereof, or
(d) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower in respect of the
Senior Obligations, or of either any Subordinated Lender or a Borrower
in respect of this Agreement.
8
9
8. Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
Subordinated Lender waives any claim it might have against the Agent or the
Senior Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act
or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the
part of the Agent or the Senior Lenders or their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the
Senior Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral. Neither the
Agent or the Senior Lenders nor any of their directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell
or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of a Borrower or the
Subordinated Lender or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever
with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
9. Extension of Senior Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Agreement and any extension by the Agent or the Senior
Lenders of the final maturity date of the Senior Obligations, provided that at
the time no Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents is continuing, the
Subordinated Lender may receive timely payment of all unpaid principal and
accrued interest on the Subordinated Obligations. In the event an Event of
Default does then exist, the subordination of the Subordinated Obligations under
Section 2(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 3 shall remain in effect and
unimpaired.
10. Provisions Applicable After Bankruptcy. The provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence
of and from and after any "Insolvency Event."

at their own expense and at any time from time to time, upon the written request
of the Agent or the Senior Lenders will promptly and duly execute and deliver
such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as any
Senior Lender or any successor lender reasonably may request for the purposes of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights
and powers herein granted.
12. Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Agreement is intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Agent or the
Senior Lenders or any successor lenders on the one hand and the Subordinated
Lender and the Borrowers, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or
other interest under this Agreement.
13. Powers Coupled With An Interest. All powers, authorizations
