hereby promise to pay, jointly and severally, to GCM Shells Seafood
Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or registered
assigns (the "Holder"), the principal amount of Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($400,000), with interest (computed on the basis of
a 365-day year for actual days elapsed), payable monthly in arrears
on the first day of each calendar month, on the unpaid principal
balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from
and including the date hereof until the entire principal balance
hereof and all interest accrued hereunder is paid in full. This
Note shall bear additional interest (computed on the basis of a 365-
day year for actual days elapsed) accruing monthly and payable on
the Maturity Date on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate
of seven percent (7%) per annum (the "Deferred Interest Rate") from
and including the date hereof until the entire principal balance
hereof and all interest accrued hereunder is paid in full.
This Note is one of a series of Notes issued pursuant to, and
payable in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, and this Note is
subject to the terms and conditions and entitled to the equal and
ratable benefits thereof. Reference hereby is made to the Purchase
Agreement for a statement of each of such terms and conditions, and

The principal amount of this Subordinated Note shall mature no

Any payment of interest or premium that is not paid when due
hereunder shall be added to the principal balance hereof and
thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate applicable hereunder.
From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
10 of the Purchase Agreement, and during the continuance thereof,
all principal, interest, or other amounts evidenced by or due under
this Subordinated Note (other than Deferred Interest) shall bear
interest at a rate 4 percentage points (that is, 400 basis point)
higher than the rate otherwise applicable thereto.
Payment of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful
money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder
hereof shall designate to the Administrative Borrower in writing or

In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of this Note may be declared or otherwise become due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Purchase
Agreement.
Each of the undersigned borrowers hereby expressly waive notice
of default, notice of dishonor, demand, presentment and protest
hereof, and all other notices or formalities to which such Borrowers
might otherwise be entitled absent this express waiver.
If any term, provision, condition or other portion of this Note
is determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable by a forum of
competent jurisdiction, the same shall not affect any other term,
provision, condition or other portion hereof, and the remainder of
this Note shall remain in full force and effect, as if such invalid,
void or unenforceable term, provision, condition or other portion of
this Note did not appear herein.
