NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 in hand paid and for other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed among the parties hereto as follows, each intending to be legally bound hereby;
 
 
1.
 
Subordination.    Each of the Lenders hereby subordinates to the Senior Indebtedness, and makes inferior and secondary for so long as any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, all the Junior Indebtedness (and all advances made thereunder) and any security interest, lien, charge, title or other encumbrance that the Lenders may have in any property of the Company or any other property or right that is collateral for the Junior Indebtedness, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of any security interest or lien of the Lenders.
 
 
2.
 
Priority of Distribution.    In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or its assets, or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors of any other marshaling of assets or liabilities of the Company, then, in any such event, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in connection with the Junior Indebtedness only after payment has been made in full pursuant to the Senior Indebtedness.
 
 
3.
 
Non-Impairment.    All agreements and obligations of the Lenders hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: (i) any amendment, modification, waiver or consent of any term or provisions set forth in any document, instrument or other agreement evidencing


 
or securing any of the Senior Indebtedness, or any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness; (ii) any release or non-perfection of any lien or security interest in any collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to the departure from, any guaranty for all or any of the Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) any circumstances (other than payment of the Senior Indebtedness) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of the Senior Indebtedness or the Lenders in respect of their obligations under this Agreement.
 
 
4.
 
Assignment.    This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of the Lenders. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lenders and the Company and not for the benefit of any other party.

7.
 
Miscellaneous.    This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Each of the Lenders and the Company agree that, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Junior Indebtedness and the terms of this Agreement with respect to any matter discussed herein, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by each of the Lenders and the Company. Each of the Lenders agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents as may reasonably be required to effectuate and confirm the subordination of the Junior Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness.
