agrees to make a subordinated loan to the Company on the date hereof in the
principal amount of $3,750,000 (the "LOAN"). The amount of the loan may
subsequently be increased up to a maximum aggregate amount of $7,500,000 in
accordance with Article VIII hereof. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement
relating to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, the Loan
shall mature on April 30, 2001. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more
subordinated promissory notes (collectively, the "SUBORDINATED NOTE") of the
Company to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
Section 2.02. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT. The Company shall have the right at any time
to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part (together with any accrued but unpaid
interest on any Past Due Amounts, if any, on the portion being prepaid), at any
time on or after the date hereof, in amounts in integral multiples of $100,000
in the case of a partial prepayment, and in all cases except where such
prepayment would violate the terms of any Senior Debt.
Section 2.03. INTEREST ON THE LOAN. The Loan shall bear interest at a floating
rate equal to 100 basis points above the prime rate as reported by the Wall
Street Journal, from the date it is made until maturity or full prepayment (the

30, 2001. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve
30-day months and, for any interest period that is shorter than a full calendar
quarter, will be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any date on which interest is payable
on the Loan is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest due on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).
Section 2.04. METHOD AND DATE OF PAYMENT. Each payment by the Company of

ARTICLE III
SUBORDINATION
Section 3.01. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE. The Company covenants and agrees, and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ likewise covenants and agrees, that the Subordinated Note shall be issued
subject to the provisions of this Article III, and each holder of the
Subordinated Note, whether upon original issuance or upon transfer or assignment
thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.
The payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on the
Subordinated Note shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Agreement or thereafter
incurred.
Section 3.02. DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT. In the event and during the continuation
of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium or interest
due on any Senior Debt of the Company, or in the event that the maturity of any
Senior Debt of the Company has been accelerated because of a default, then, in
either case (any such event being herein referred to as a "SUSPENSION EVENT"),
no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of or
interest on the Subordinated Note unless and until such default shall have been
cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or such Senior Debt
shall have been discharged or paid in full, after which the Company shall resume
making any and all payments in respect of the Subordinated Note, including any
payments that would have been required by this Agreement to be made by the
Company, but for the provisions of this Section 3.02.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be
received by the holder of the Subordinated Note when such payment is prohibited
by the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.02, such payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of
Senior Debt or their respective representatives, or to trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders
of the Senior Debt (or their representative or representatives or a trustee)
notify such holder in writing within 90 days after such payment of the amounts
then due and owing on the Senior Debt and only the amounts specified in such
notice to such holder shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.
Section 3.03. LIQUIDATION; DISSOLUTION; BANKRUPTCY. Upon any payment by the
Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or
winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all
amounts due upon all Senior Debt of the Company shall first be paid in full, or
payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any
payment is made by the Company on account of the principal of or interest on the
Subordinated Note; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or
reorganization, any payment by the
-6-
10
Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, which the holder of the Subordinated
Note would be entitled to receive from the Company except for the provisions of
this Article III, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, or by such holder if received by it, directly to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, as calculated by the
Company) or their representative or representatives or a trustee or trustees
under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior
Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the
extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt in full, in money or money's worth,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made to the
holder of the Subordinated Note.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the
holder of the Subordinated Note before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in
full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its
terms, such payment or distribution shall, subject to Section 3.05, be held in
trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of
such Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or a trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such
Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as
calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt of
the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay
such Senior Debt in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the
holders of such Senior Debt.
For purposes of this Article III, the words "CASH, PROPERTY OR
SECURITIES" shall not be deemed to include equity securities of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which
is subordinated in right of payment to all Debt of the Company to substantially
the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Subordinated Note is so
subordinated as provided in this Article III. The consolidation of the Company
with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation
or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its
property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation
upon the terms and conditions provided for in Section 5.04 of this Agreement
shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for
the purposes of this Section 3.03 if such other corporation shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions
stated in Section 5.04 of this Agreement.
Section 3.04. SUBROGATION. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt of
the Company, the rights of the holder of the Subordinated Note shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments
or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may
be, applicable to such Senior Debt until the principal of and interest
-7-
11
on the Subordinated Note shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the holder of the Subordinated Note
would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article III, and no payment
over pursuant to the provisions of this Article III to or for the benefit of the
holders of such Senior Debt by the holder of the Subordinated Note, shall, as
between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt of the
Company, and the holder of the Subordinated Note, be deemed to be a payment by
the Company to or on account of such Senior Debt. It is understood that the
provisions of this Article III are and are intended solely for the purposes of
defining the relative rights of the holder of the Subordinated Note, on the one
hand, and the holders of such Senior Debt on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Article III or elsewhere in this Agreement or
in the Subordinated Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company,
its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, and the
holder of the Subordinated Note, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holder of the Subordinated Note the
principal of and interest on the Subordinated Note as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or
shall affect the relative rights of the holder of the Subordinated Note and
creditors of the Company, other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the holder of the Subordinated Note
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article III of
the holders of such Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of
the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article III, the holder of the Subordinated Note shall be entitled to
rely conclusively upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending, or upon a certificate of the receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution, delivered to the holder of the Subordinated Note, for
the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company,
as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article III.
Section 3.05. NOTICE BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the holder of the Subordinated Note of any fact known to the Company
that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies in respect of the
Subordinated Note pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article III or any other provision of
this Agreement, the holder of the Subordinated Note shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any
payment of monies to such holder in respect of the Subordinated Note pursuant to
the provisions of this Article III, unless and until the holder of the
Subordinated Note shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or
a holder or holders of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and before the
receipt of any such
-8-
12
written notice, such holder shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no
such facts exist; provided, however, that if the holder of the Subordinated Note
shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 3.05 at least
two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may
become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of
the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Note), then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of the Subordinated Note
shall have full power and authority to receive such money, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date.
The holder of the Subordinated Note, if acting in good faith, shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt of the Company (or a
trustee on behalf of such holder), to establish that such notice has been given
by a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or
holders. In the event that the holder of the Subordinated Note determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of such Senior Debt to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article III, the holder of the Subordinated Note
may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of
the holder of the Subordinated Note as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by
such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article III, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the
holder of the Subordinated Note may defer any payment to such Person pending
judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.
Section 3.06. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. With respect to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Company, each holder of the Subordinated Note undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article III, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into
this Agreement against any holder of the Subordinated Note. No holder of the
Subordinated Note shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
such Senior Debt and, so long as it is acting in good faith, no such holder of
the Subordinated Note shall be liable to any holder of such Senior Debt if it
shall receive from or pay over or deliver to the Company or any other Person
money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Debt shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article III or otherwise.
Section 3.07. SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED. No right of any present or
future holder of any Senior Debt of the Company to enforce subordination as
herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any
act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to
act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any
knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt of the Company may, at any time and from time to
time, without the consent of or notice to any holder of the Subordinated Note,
without incurring responsibility to any holder of
-9-
13
the Subordinated Note and without impairing or releasing the subordination
provided in this Article III or the obligations hereunder of any holder of the
Subordinated Note to the holders of such Senior Debt, do any one or more of the
following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time
of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or
supplement in any manner such Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same
or any agreement under which such Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing such Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any
manner for the collection of such Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

pledge, encumbrance, exchange or other transfer by the Company or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in
contravention of this Article VII shall be void.

replacement Subordinated Note is to be registered; the address, telephone number
and fax number of the transferee; confirmation by the holder and the transferee

Article VII by the holder shall survive); and confirmation by the transferee
that the representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are true and accurate as if
