          (d)           The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or repayment by the Borrower in shares shall be proportionately adjusted if the Borrower shall declare a dividend of capital stock on its capital stock, or subdivide its outstanding capital stock into a larger number of shares by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, which adjustment shall be made effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note or any part thereof shall be proportionately adjusted in the amount of securities for which the shares have been changed or exchanged in another transaction for other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other combination. The Borrower shall promptly provide the holder of this Note with notice of any events mandating an adjustment to the conversion ratio, or for any planned merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of the Borrower, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Borrower.

During such time as any Senior Indebtedness remains unpaid, Subordinated Creditor will not ask for, demand, sue for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, by set off or in any other manner, any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt, nor present any instrument evidencing the Subordinated Debt for payment (other than such presentment as may be necessary to prevent discharge of other liable parties on such instrument); [provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prevent Subordinated Creditor from (a) receiving any scheduled payment from Borrower pursuant to the instruments set forth on Exhibit A (the “Subordinated Debt Instruments”) and (b) receiving payment from Borrower for goods and services provided to Borrower by Subordinated Creditor in the ordinary course of business within thirty (30) days of the date hereof or after the date hereof.]

          Section 3.      Prohibition of All Payments Following Default and Notice.

                         (a)      If there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, then, unless and until such Event of Default shall have been cured, or unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full, the Subordinated Creditor will not ask for, sue for, take, demand, receive or accept from Borrower, by set off or in any other manner, any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt nor present any Subordinated Debt Instrument or any instrument evidencing the Subordinated Debt for payment (other than such presentment as may be necessary to prevent discharge of other liable parties on such instrument).

                         (b)      In the event that Borrower defaults under the Subordinated Debt prior to the full and final payment of the Senior Indebtedness, Borrower shall provide Lender with notice of such default.

          Section 4.      Payments Cannot Create a Default. The Subordinated Creditor will not ask for, demand, sue for, take, receive or accept from Borrower, by set off or in any other manner, any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt, if the making of such payment would constitute, or would result in the occurrence of, a violation of the provisions of any instrument or agreement evidencing, in connection with, as security for or providing for the issuance of any Senior Indebtedness or would result in the occurrence of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

          Section 5.      Unauthorized Receipt of Payment by Subordinated Creditor. In the event the Subordinated Creditor shall receive any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt which Subordinated Creditor is not entitled to receive under this Subordination Agreement, Subordinated Creditor will hold any amount so received in trust for Senior Creditor and will promptly turn over such payment to Senior Creditor in the form received by Subordinated Creditor (together with any necessary endorsement) to be applied against the Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 6.      Restrictions on Actions to Recover Subordinated Debt. The Subordinated Creditor will not commence any action or proceeding against Borrower to recover all or any part of the Subordinated Debt or join with any other creditor, unless Senior Creditor shall also join, in bringing any proceedings against Borrower under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement of debt, receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute of the Federal or any state government unless and until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.

          Section 7.      Insolvency or Bankruptcy by Borrower. In the event of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or arrangement with creditors, adjustment of debt, whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy laws, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation, or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower, the Subordinated Creditor will at Senior Creditor’s request file any claim, proof of claim, proof of interest or other instrument of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Debt and will hold in trust for Senior Creditor and pay over to Senior Creditor, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsement), to be applied on the Senior Indebtedness, any and all monies, dividends or other assets received in any such proceedings on account of the Subordinated Debt unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full. In the event that the Subordinated Creditor shall fail to take any such action requested by Senior Creditor, Senior Creditor, may, as attorney in fact for the Subordinated Creditor take such action on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor, and the Subordinated Creditor hereby appoints Senior Creditor as attorney in fact for the Subordinated Creditor to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such monies, dividends or other assets and give acquittance therefor and to file any claim, proof of claim, proof of interest or other instrument of similar character and to take such other proceedings in Senior Creditor’s own name or in the name of the Subordinated Creditor as Senior Creditor may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Subordination Agreement, and the Subordinated Creditor will execute and deliver to Senior Creditor such other and further powers of attorney or other instruments as Senior Creditor may request in order to accomplish the foregoing.

          Section 8.      Senior Creditor’s Rights. Senior Creditor may, at any time, and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Creditor, without incurring responsibility to the Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing any of Senior Creditor’s rights or any of the obligations of the Subordinated Creditor under this Subordination Agreement:

                         (a)      change the amount of the Senior Indebtedness, manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend for any period the time of payment of, or renew, rearrange or otherwise modify or alter, the Senior Indebtedness or any instrument or agreement now or hereafter executed evidencing, in connection with, as security for or providing for the issuance of any of the Senior Indebtedness in any manner, or enter into or amend in any manner any other agreement relating to the Senior Indebtedness (including provisions restricting or further restricting payments of the Subordinated Debt);
