Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may make, and

the Subordinated Noteholders may receive, regularly scheduled payments (not

prepayments) of interest on the Subordinated Notes in accordance with the terms

thereof determined on a non-accelerated basis (without giving effect to any

default rate of interest thereunder) and the Borrower may make, and the holder

of the Gupta Note may receive, regularly scheduled payments (not prepayments) of

principal on the Gupta Note in accordance with the terms thereof determined on a

non-accelerated basis (without giving effect to any default rate of interest

      3. Additional Provisions Concerning Subordination. (a) The Subordinated

Noteholders and each Credit Party agree that upon the occurrence of any

Insolvency Event:

 

                  (i) all Senior Obligations shall be paid in full before any

payment or distribution of whatever kind or nature is made with respect to the

Subordinated Obligations; and

 

                  (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of any Credit

Party, whether in cash, property or securities (other than as permitted under

clause (a)(1) of this Section 3), to which any Subordinated Noteholder would be

entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by such

Credit Party, or any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,

disbursing agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly

to the Collateral Agent, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior

Obligations, before any payment or distribution of any kind or nature shall be

made to any Subordinated Noteholder.

 

            (b) Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event:

 

                  (i) each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably authorizes and

 

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

 

empowers the Collateral Agent (A) to demand, sue for, collect and receive every

payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Obligations payable or

deliverable in connection with such event or proceeding and give acquittance

therefor, (B) to file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or

non-statutory proceeding if such Subordinated Noteholder has not demonstrated to

the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent, no later than 30 days prior to the

applicable bar date, that such Subordinated Noteholder has filed an appropriate

claim or proof of claim, and (C) to take such other actions, in its own name as

Collateral Agent, or in the name of the Subordinated Noteholders or otherwise,

as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of

the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing

authorization and empowerment imposes no obligation on the Collateral Agent to

take any such action;

 

                  (ii) each Subordinated Noteholder shall take such action, duly

and promptly, as the Collateral Agent may request from time to time (A) to

collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Collateral Agent and

(B) to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated

Obligations; and

 

                  (iii) each Subordinated Noteholder shall execute and deliver

such powers of attorney, assignments or proofs of claim or other instruments as

the Collateral Agent may request to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce any

and all claims in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and to collect and

receive any and all payments and distributions which may be payable or

deliverable at any time upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

 

            (c) If any payment or distribution, whether consisting of money,

property or securities, shall be collected or received by any Subordinated

Noteholder in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, except payments permitted

to be made at the time of payment as provided in paragraph 2(b), such

Subordinated Noteholder shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral

Agent, in the form received, duly indorsed to the Collateral Agent, if required,

to be applied to the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the

Senior Obligations are paid in full (provided that no securities of the Borrower

that are delivered to the Collateral Agent shall be applied against any Senior

Obligations). Until so delivered, such payment or distribution shall be held in

trust by such Subordinated Noteholder as the property of the Collateral Agent,

segregated from other funds and property held by such Subordinated Noteholder.

Following payment in full of the Senior Obligations, Collateral Agent will remit

to each Subordinated Noteholder as promptly as practicable, to the extent of

such Subordinated Noteholder's interest therein, all payments or distributions

paid (respectively by any such Subordinated Noteholder) to and held by

Collateral Agent in excess of the Senior Obligations as provided in Section

4(e)of this Agreement.

 

             (d) Until the Senior Obligations are paid in full, the Subordinated

Noteholders shall not take any Collection Action or Collateral Enforcement

Action with respect to the Subordinated Obligations.

 

      4. Rights in Collateral. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained in any Senior Transaction Document or any Subordinated Transaction

Document and irrespective of:

Subordinated Security Document;

 

                  (ii) the time or order of filing or recording of financing

statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect security interests in

any Collateral;

 

                  (iii) anything contained in any filing or agreement to which

the Collateral Agent or any Subordinated Noteholder now or hereafter may be a

party; and

 

                  (iv) the rules for determining perfection or priority under

the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law governing the relative priorities

of secured creditors, any security interest in any Collateral pursuant to any

Senior Security Document has and shall have priority, to the extent of any

unpaid Senior Obligations, over any security interest in such Collateral

pursuant to any Subordinated Transaction Document.

 

            (b) So long as the Senior Obligations have not been paid in full and

any Senior Security Document remains in effect, whether or not any Insolvency

Event has occurred,

 

                  (i) no Subordinated Noteholder will take any Collateral

Enforcement Action; and

 

                  (ii) the Collateral Agent and, subject to the Collateral

Agency Agreement, any Senior Noteholder shall have the exclusive right to

enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral and

Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any Collateral.

Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction. In conducting any public or

private sale under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral Agent shall give

the Subordinated Noteholders such notice of such sale as may be required by the

applicable Uniform Commercial Code; provided, however, that 10 days' notice

shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice.

 

            (d) When all Senior Obligations have been paid in full and the

Senior Security Documents no longer are in effect, subject to the requirements

of the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Subordinated Noteholders shall have the

right to enforce the provisions of the Subordinated Security Documents and

exercise remedies thereunder.

 

            (e) Any money, property or securities realized upon the sale,

disposition or other realization by the Collateral Agent upon all or any part of

the Collateral, or otherwise
