For and
in consideration of the extension of credit and other financial accommodations
given, to be given or continued by the Bank to CAPSTONE INDUSTRIES, INC.
(hereinafter designated the "Borrower"), Undersigned hereby agree as
follows:
1. That
the Borrower is or will be indebted to the Bank as a result of instruments,
agreements, and/or documents (hereinafter referred to as the "Loan Documents")
executed or to be executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank and/or by an
extension of credit made or to be made by the Bank to the Borrower (hereinafter
referred to as "Borrower's Bank Obligations").
2. That
the Borrower is indebted to the Undersigned in the amount of $109,741.48 (together with
all accrued and future interest thereon) (hereinafter referred to as the
"Subordinated Debt"); that the Undersigned has not subordinated all or any
portion of the Subordinated Debt to the debts or claims of any other creditor of
the Borrower by any agreement presently effective; and that the Undersigned has
not assigned the Subordinated Debt, or any part thereof, by any assignment
presently effective.
3. That,
until payment in full of Borrower's Bank Obligations, and subject to the
provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement executed by the Borrower and the
Undersigned in favor of the Bank as well as all extensions, modifications and
renewals thereof, the Undersigned will not receive from the Borrower any sum or
thing of value in full or partial satisfaction of, or as security for, the
Subordinated Debt regardless of the time when Borrower's Bank Obligations arose;
and all claims of the Undersigned against the Borrower, of every nature,
presently existing and hereafter arising, shall be subordinated to the
Borrower's Bank Obligations to the end that the Borrower's Bank Obligations
shall be paid and discharged in full before any payment or security is received
by the Undersigned in part or full payment of, or as security for, the
Subordinated Debt.
4. Until
payment in full of Borrower's Bank Obligations, to assign to the Bank all the
Subordinated Debt as security for the payment by the Borrower of the Borrower's
Bank Obligations, with full right in favor of the Bank to receive payment of
said Subordinated Debt, and to enforce and collect said Subordinated Debt by
suit, or by filing proof in any proceeding in bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency or other proceeding under state or federal law for an
adjustment, settlement, extension or composition of or other relief from
debts, or otherwise. If any payment is received by the
1
Undersigned
for or on account of the Subordinated Debt, the Undersigned will hold it in
trust for the Bank, and will deliver it to the Bank in the form in which it is
received, with endorsement where required, for credit against the Borrower's
Bank Obligations. Any security interest or other lien in any property
of the Borrower granted to the Subordinator by the Borrower, including all
filings and recordings, are subordinate and inferior to the security interests
and liens granted to the Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents irrespective of the
time or order of filing and/recording. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding,
so long as there are outstanding any obligations of the Borrower to the Bank in
connection with the Bank's Loan Documents or any extension of credit made by the
Bank to the Borrower however evidenced, the Undersigned (i) will not exercise
any rights with respect to any of the property and assets of Borrower in which
the Bank or the Undersigned has a security interest or lien of any kind, all
agreements and filings to the contrary notwithstanding, (ii) will not exercise
any rights with respect to any other property or assets of Borrower, and (iii)
will not take any action against the Borrower which would impair or adversely
affect the Bank's ability to collect all of Borrower's Bank
Obligations.
5. In
the event of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, readjustment of indebtedness, composition, reorganization,
whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy laws, sale of all or substantially all of
the assets, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, or any other marshaling of the
assets and liabilities of Borrower, any payment or distribution of assets of
Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other
property, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with
respect to any or all indebtedness of Borrower to the Undersigned up to the sum
of the Subordinated Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to Bank for
application on Borrower's Bank Obligations until same shall have been fully paid
and satisfied. Bank shall have the right to enforce, collect and receive every
such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor, and Bank is hereby
authorized, as attorney-in-fact for the Undersigned, to vote and prove the
Subordinated Debt in any of the above described proceedings or in any
meeting of creditors of Borrower relating thereto.
6. Not
to assign, transfer, hypothecate or dispose of any claim it has or may have
against Borrower while Borrower's Bank Obligations remain unpaid, without the
written consent of Bank.
7. Promptly
upon receipt, endorse and deliver to Bank all notes or other instruments now or
hereafter issued which evidence any indebtedness of Borrower to the Undersigned
up to the sum of the Subordinated Debt.
8. That
this is a continuing agreement of subordination and the Bank may, without notice
to the Undersigned, extend and continue to extend credit to the Borrower on the
faith hereof, until written notice of revocation hereof is received by the Bank.
Such revocation shall not affect this Subordination in respect to any of the
Borrower's Bank Obligations theretofore incurred, whether then due and payable
or thereafter to become due and payable, nor shall such revocation affect any
extensions or renewals of such Obligations, or any part thereof, after such
notice or revocation is
2
received
by the Bank, and, as to such Obligations, such revocation shall not become
effective until such Obligations are fully paid.

of any obligation of the Undersigned or right of Bank. This Subordination
Agreement may be modified, and any of Bank's rights hereunder waived, only by
