All allocations of payments between UWG and the Subordinated Creditors shall, subject to any court order, continue to be made after the filing of a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or any similar proceeding on the same basis that the payments were to be allocated prior to the date of such filing.

-9-

17. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, content, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner as provided for in the Senior Agreements; provided that any notice to the Subordinated Creditors shall be at its address or transmission number for notices set forth under its signature below.

19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

22. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

23. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and the Subordinated Creditors and shall inure to the benefit of UWG and their successors and assigns.

24. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF HE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE SUBORDINATED CREDITORS AND UWG HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES AMONG THE COMPANY, THE SUBORDINATED CREDITORS AND UWG PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED, PROVIDED, THAT THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE UWG FROM BRINGING IT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE SENIOR OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF UWG. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE SUBORDINATED CREDITORS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS

-11-

AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE SUBORDINATED CREDITORS HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE SUBORDINATED CREDITORS HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE SENIOR AGREEMENTS OR BENEATH HIS SIGNATURE LINE BELOW, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE COMPANY’S OR ANY SUBORDINATED CREDITORS’ ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

28. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

29. Construction. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, so long as the GECC Subordination Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company, the Subordinated Creditors and UWG agree that the Company and the Subordinated Creditors shall comply with their obligations under the GECC Subordination Agreement in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the GECC Subordination Agreement, the terms of the GECC Subordination Agreement shall control. Each of the lenders party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of December 29, 2003 by and among the Company, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Agent, and such lenders is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 29, and shall have the independent right to enforce the provisions of this Section.
