Subordination of Junior Obligations. (a) Each Note Holder, the Issuer and each Series C Holder agrees that all of the Junior Obligations are hereby subordinated, and shall be junior in right of payment, to all of the Senior Obligations, to the extent and upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement. (b) Each Note Holder agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it will not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, demand, sue for, take or receive (directly or indirectly, by way of setoff, by reason of any other obligations, indebtedness or liabilities of Issuer being subordinated to the Junior Obligations, or in any other manner) all or any part of the Junior Obligations unless and until all of the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, which payment in full, for purposes of this Agreement, shall occur only when (a) the Series C Preferred Stock has been either (i) converted into Common Stock with payment in full of the conversion price as set forth in the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation; or (ii) redeemed with payment in full of the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid dividends, as set forth in the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation; or (b) there has occurred an event of Liquidation (as defined in the Issuer's Certification of Incorporation) of the Issuer and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have received payment in full of their Liquidation preference, together with accrued and unpaid dividends when applicable, as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, and there exists no commitment to the Series C Holders or term or condition of the Series C Preferred Stock which could give rise to any Senior Obligations. Issuer agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it will not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, pay (directly or indirectly, by way of setoff, by reason of any other obligations, indebtedness or liabilities of Issuer being subordinated to the Junior Obligations, or in any other manner) all or any part of the Junior Obligations unless and until all of the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full as set forth above and there exists no commitment to the Series C Holders or term or condition of the Series C Preferred Stock which could give rise to any Senior Obligations. (c) In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of Issuer, or the proceeds thereof, to creditors of Issuer, or upon any indebtedness of Issuer, by reason of the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of Issuer, or Issuer's business or affairs, or in the event of any sale, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other proceeding by or against Issuer for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions, then, and in each event, each payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any of the Junior Obligations shall, until all of the 3 4 Senior Obligations have been paid in full as set forth above, be paid or delivered directly to the Series C Holders for application on account of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation. The Note Holders hereby irrevocably authorize and empower the Series C Holders to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment and distribution, and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and take any other proceedings as the Series C Holders may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement hereof. The Note Holders agree to execute and deliver to the Series C Holders any assignments and other instruments as may be requested by the Series C Holders in order to enable the Series C Holders to enforce and to collect and receive any and all payments and distributions. Should any payment, distribution or other amount be received by any Note Holder (directly or indirectly, by way of setoff, by reason of any other obligations, indebtedness or liabilities of Issuer being subordinated to the Junior Obligations, or in any other manner) upon or with respect to any of the Junior Obligations in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement, the Note Holders shall promptly pay over and deliver the same to the Series C Holders (together with any indorsements or assignments thereof as may be requested by the Series C Holders) for application on account of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Note Holder for the benefit of the Series C Holders. (d) If all of the Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full as set forth above and there exists no commitment to the Series C Holders or term or condition of the Series C Preferred Stock which could give rise to any Senior Obligations, the Note Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Series C Holders to receive payments and distributions, whether in cash, securities or other property, with respect to the Senior Obligations until the Junior Obligations shall have been paid in full. For purposes of subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Series C Holders on account of the Senior Obligations, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which the Note Holders would have been entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payments over by the Note Holders to the Series C Holders on account of the provisions of this Agreement, shall, as among Issuer, the Note Holders and Issuer's creditors other than the Series C Holders, be deemed to be a payment or distribution on account of the Senior Obligations. (e) The provisions of this Agreement are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Series C Holders and the Note Holders with respect to the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among Issuer, the Note Holders and Issuer's creditors other than the Series C Holders, the obligation of Issuer to pay to the Note Holders the Junior Obligations as and when the same become due, or (b) affect the relative rights against Issuer of the Note Holders and Issuer's creditors other than the Series C Holders. (f) No right of the Series C Holders to enforce the subordination of the Junior Obligations under this Agreement shall be impaired, diminished or otherwise prejudiced by any act or failure to act of Issuer, the Note Holders or the Series C Holders or by any failure of Issuer, the Note Holders or the Series C Holders to comply with any provisions of this Agreement, regardless of any actual or constructive notice or knowledge of Issuer of any act or failure to act. 4 5 3. Assignments, Legends and Amendments. The Series C Holders may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement to transferees of the Series C Preferred Stock provided that the transfer of Series C Preferred Stock to any such transferee is permitted by the terms of the Securityholders Agreement of even date herewith between the Issuer, the Series C Holders and the other parties listed on the signature pages thereto. Each Note Holder agrees that, so long as any of the Senior Obligations remain unpaid or there exists any contingent or noncontingent commitment of Issuer which could give rise to any Senior Obligations, the Note Holder will not sell, assign, transfer or convey to any person any of the Junior Obligations, or any interest therein, unless the sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance is expressly, and in writing, made subject to the terms of this Agreement. Issuer and each Note Holder agrees to place, or cause to be placed, on each Note and all other Note Holder Documents a conspicuous statement, reasonably satisfactory to the Series C Holders, to the effect that the Junior Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Note Holders and Issuer agree that, so long as any of the Senior Obligations remain unpaid or there exists any commitment to the Series C Holders or term or condition of the Series C Preferred Stock which could give rise to any Senior Obligations, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, none of the Note Holder Documents shall be amended, modified, extended, renewed, supplemented or replaced in any manner adverse to the rights of the Series C Holders hereunder. 4. Further Assurances. Each of the Note Holders and Issuer agrees promptly to execute and deliver all additional and further instruments and documents as the Series C Holders may request in good faith to vest in and assure to the Series C Holders their rights hereunder. Each of the Note Holders and Issuer agrees to provide to the Series C Holders from time to time, upon the request of any Series C Holder, copies of any or all Note Holder Documents. 5. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Each of the Note Holders, the Issuer and the Series C Holders agrees that any action, suit or proceeding involving any claim, counterclaim or cross-claim arising out of or in any way relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement, or any liabilities, rights or interests of the Note Holders, Issuer, the Series C Holders or any other person arising out of or in any way relating, directly or indirectly, to any of the foregoing, shall be tried by a court and not by a jury. Each of the Note Holders, Issuer and the Series C Holders hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding, with the understanding and agreement that this waiver constitutes a waiver of trial by jury of all claims, counterclaims and cross-claims against all parties to the actions, suits or proceedings, including claims, counterclaims and cross-claims against parties who are not parties to this Agreement. This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by each of the Note Holders, Issuer and the Series C Holders, and each of the Note Holders, Issuer and the Series C Holders acknowledges and agrees that this waiver of trial by jury is a material aspect of the agreements among them and that no representations of fact or opinion have been made by any person to induce this waiver of trial by jury or to modify, limit or nullify its effect. 5 6 6. Additional Waivers. Each Note Holder hereby waives diligence in the enforcement or collection of all of the Senior Obligations. Each Note Holder also hereby waives notice of any event, circumstance or condition which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Note Holder from any of the provisions of this Agreement and agrees that, without necessity for any express reservation of rights against Note Holders, neither the occurrence or existence of such act, event or condition, nor Issuer's commission of or omission to do any act, event or condition, in any number of instances, shall in any way release, discharge, impair or diminish any obligations or liabilities of the Note Holders under this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Issuer in writing. 7. Conflicting Documents or Law. All provisions of this Agreement shall apply notwithstanding any contrary or conflicting terms or provisions contained in the Note Holder Documents, notwithstanding any contrary or conflicting provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or other law. 8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate: (a) at the time that the Series C Holders own less than 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Fully Diluted Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); or (b) at the time of (a) a consolidation or merger of the Issuer with one or more corporations, or (b) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Issuer's stock or assets; provided that in the event of either (a) or (b), the Series C Preferred Stock has received its full liquidation preference in accordance with Article IV(C), paragraph (4) of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation or all shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been converted in accordance with the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Modifications and Notices. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent by the Series C Holders to the failure of any Note Holders or Issuer to comply with any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought, and then the modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice by Issuer to or demand by Issuer upon any Note Holder in any circumstance shall entitle any Note Holder or Issuer to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. All communications in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given when hand-delivered to the party to whom directed, or, if transmitted by telex, by facsimile transmission or by mail (whether or not registered or certified), when telexed or transmitted by facsimile transmission or deposited in the mail postage prepaid, respectively, provided that any notice or communication to the Note Holders shall be hand-delivered or transmitted to the Note Holder at addresses set forth for each Note Holder on Exhibit A hereto (or at another other address specified by the Note Holder in writing to the other parties hereto from time to time), any such notice or communication to the Series C Holders shall be hand-delivered or transmitted to each Series C Holder at the addresses set forth for each Series C Holder on Exhibit A hereto (or at another address specified by the Series C Holder in writing to the other parties hereto from time to time), and any such notice or 6 7 communication to Issuer shall be hand-delivered or transmitted to Issuer at the address set forth for Issuer on Exhibit A hereto (or at another address specified by Issuer in writing to the other parties hereto from time to time). 10.

Each of the Note Holders and Issuer irrevocably waives any objection to, and any right of immunity from, the jurisdiction of the courts specified above or the execution of judgments resulting therefrom, on the grounds of venue or the convenience of the forum. 11. Successors and Invalidity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and each reference in this Agreement to any of the parties hereto shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of a party, including, in the case of the Note Holders and Issuer, the debtor in possession or trustee in any case under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code in which any Note Holder or Issuer is debtor.
