6.           Application of Payments.  Any and all payments on account of this Note shall be applied, first to accrued and unpaid interest, then to other sums due hereunder and thereafter to outstanding principal.  The Company agrees that, to the extent it makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.
  
7.           Subordination.
 
(a)           The payment of all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of Company to Holder under this Note, whether now existing or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”), is expressly subordinated to the indebtedness set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Senior Debt”) and the obligations of the Company set forth therein.  The term “Senior Debt” shall include any and all obligations of Company to the lenders set forth on Schedule I including, without limitation, interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to Company, whether or not a claim for such post-commencement interest is allowed.  All capitalized terms used in this Section 7 in connection with the Senior Debt and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Agreement (as defined herein).  The term “Loan Agreement” means that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated March 10, 2011, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time among Company, TD Bank, N.A. as Agent and Issuing Bank and the Lenders party thereto from time to time.
 
(b)           Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full and any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt has terminated, Company shall not pay, and Holder shall not accept, any payments of any kind (including prepayments) associated with the Subordinated Debt; provided, however, that so long as no material event of default (for purposes of the Loan Agreement, a Significant Default) under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt exists or after giving effect to the making of any such payment(s) would exist, Company may pay and Holder may accept regularly scheduled payments of interest on the Subordinated Debt.  Except as set forth in subsection (k), no principal payment of any kind (by voluntary prepayment, acceleration, set-off or otherwise) of any portion of the Subordinated Debt may be made by Company or received or accepted by Holder at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Debt and termination of any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt.
 
(c)           Any payments on the Subordinated Debt received by Holder other than as permitted in clause (b) above, shall be held in trust for Agent and Holder will forthwith turn over any such payments in the form received, properly endorsed, to Agent to be applied to the Senior Debt as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
 
(d)           Company shall not grant to Holder and Holder shall not take any lien on or security interest in any of Company’s property, now owned or hereafter acquired, created or arising.

(e)           Holder shall not make any assertion or claim in any action, suit or proceeding of any nature whatsoever in any way challenging the priority, validity or effectiveness of the liens and security interests granted to Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties under and in connection with the Loan Agreement, or any amendment, extension, replacement thereof or related agreement among Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and Company.
 
(f)           Holder shall not commence any action or proceeding of any kind against  Company to recover all or any part of the Subordinated Debt not paid when due, and shall at no time join with any creditor, in bringing any proceeding against Company under any liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, or other insolvency law now or hereafter existing, unless and until the Senior Debt shall be indefeasibly paid in full and any commitment to make advances under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt has terminated.  Holder, however may accelerate the amount of the Subordinated Debt upon the occurrence of (i) the acceleration of the Senior Debt; and (ii) the filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code by Company.
 
(g)           In the event of any liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, or other insolvency proceeding of Company (each a “Proceeding”), Holder shall at Agent’s request file any claims, proofs of claim, or other instruments of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of Company in respect of the Subordinated Debt (each a “Claim”) and will hold in trust for Agent and pay over to Agent in the same form received, to be applied on the Senior Debt as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement, any and all money, dividends or other assets received in any such Proceeding on account of the Subordinated Debt, unless and until the Senior Debt shall be indefeasibly paid in full (and any commitment to make advances under the Loan Agreement has terminated), including without limitation interest accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding, whether or not a claim for such post-commencement interest is allowed.  In the event that Holder has not filed a Claim before the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the deadline for filing such Claim, Agent may, as attorney-in-fact for Holder, take such action on behalf of Holder and Holder hereby appoints Agent as attorney-in-fact for Holder to demand, sue for, collect, and receive any and all such money, dividends or other assets and give acquittance therefore and to file any such Claim and to take such other proceedings in Agent’s name or in the name of Holder, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.  Holder shall execute and deliver to Agent such other and further powers of attorney or other instruments as Agent reasonably may request in order to accomplish the foregoing.
 
(h)           The lenders named in the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Holder, without incurring responsibility to Holder, and without impairing or releasing any of the rights of such lenders or any of the obligations of Holder hereunder:
 
Change the amount, manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter the Senior Debt (including increasing the principal amount thereof), or any part thereof, or amend, supplement or replace the documents evidencing the facilities in any manner or enter into or amend, supplement or replace in any manner any other agreement relating to the Senior Debt;

Sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all or any part of the collateral securing the Senior Debt or any part thereof;
 
Release anyone liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt;
 
Exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any of them, or others; and
 
Apply sums paid by any party to the Senior Debt in any order or manner as determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
 
(i)           Holder will advise each future holder of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt that the Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Senior Debt in the manner and to the extent provided herein.  Holder represents that no part of the Subordinated Debt or any instrument evidencing the same has been transferred or assigned and Holder will not transfer or assign, except to Agent for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, any part of the Subordinated Debt while any Senior Debt remains outstanding, unless such transfer or assignment is made expressly subject to the provisions of this Section 7.  Holder and Company shall not modify or permit the modification of the payment terms of the Subordinated Debt or otherwise modify this Note.
 
(j)           Holder represents and warrants that neither the contents and provisions of this Section 7 nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which Holder is now subject.
 
(k)           In the event that Company at any time terminates the financing arrangements with respect to the Senior Debt, then the provisions of this Section 7 shall inure to the benefit of any financial institution obtained by Company to provide replacement financing for Company and, in connection with such replacement financing, Holder shall, if requested by such replacement lender, execute with such replacement lender a subordination agreement substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall enter into no extension, termination, refinancing, replacement, amendment or other modification of the Senior Debt that contemplates the existence of Senior Debt past the Maturity Date, unless the documents evidencing the resulting extended, terminated, refinanced, replaced, amended or otherwise modified credit facility expressly permits the timely payment due to Holder on the Maturity Date of the principal and all amounts then due under this Note, except in the case of the existence of a material event of default (for purposes of the Loan Agreement, a Significant Default) thereunder.
 
(l)           Company and Holder each expressly agree that Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders are third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 7 and understand that Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall rely on such provisions to make and continue to make the Senior Debt available to Company.
 
8.           Transaction Documents.  This Note is entitled to all rights and remedies provided in the Note Purchase Agreement dated September 24, 2009 between the Company and Holder, and all other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith (this Note and such documents, as any of them may be amended from time to time, being collectively the “Transaction Documents”).

9.           Acceleration Upon Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control (defined below), the Maturity Date shall be accelerated to a date (the “Accelerated Maturity Date”), as selected by the Company, that is not more than five (5) business days from the event or transaction that constitutes a Change in Control.  Within fifteen (15) days of the Accelerated Maturity Date, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the termination of this Note and shall pay to the Holder the principal amount outstanding under this Note together with interest accrued thereon at the rate specified herein to the date of payment.  Any failure by the Company to pay any amounts due under this Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined below).

(a)           the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any persons (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or group of persons acting in concert as a partnership or other “group” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) of Equity Interests representing more than 35% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company (or its successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of its assets);

(b)           that, at any time after the date hereof, persons who, at the date hereof, constituted the board of directors of the Company, together with any new persons whose election was approved by  the vote of a majority of the persons then still comprising the board of directors of the Company who were either members of the board of directors of the Company at the date hereof or whose election, designation or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company;

(c)           the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person; or

(d)           the Company consolidates or merges with or into another person or any person consolidates or merges with or into the Company, in either case under this clause (d) in one transaction or a series of related transactions in which immediately after the consummation thereof persons owning, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record Equity Interests representing in the aggregate 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company immediately prior to such consummation, do not own, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record Equity Interests representing a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power of the Equity Interests of the Company or the surviving or transferee person.

10.           Events of Default.  For purposes hereof, each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default (“Event of Default”) hereunder:
 
(a)           the failure of the Company to pay any amount of principal on this Note on the date such payment is due and payable;
 
(b)           the failure of the Company to pay any amount of interest on this Note, any fees or other sums payable hereunder or any other obligations, indebtedness, liabilities and undertakings of the Company to Holder, whether now or hereafter owing or existing under this Note (the “Indebtedness”) on the date on which such payment is due, whether on demand, at the stated maturity or due date thereof or by reason of any requirement for the prepayment thereof, by acceleration or otherwise, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) business days after Holder’s delivery of written notice to the Company of such monetary default (such five business day period, the “Payment Cure Period”);
 
(c)           the failure of the Company to duly perform or observe any obligation, covenant or agreement on its part contained herein and such failure continues unremedied for a period of ten business (10) days after notice from Holder to the Company of the existence of such failure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such failure specifically constitutes an Event of Default under some other subsection of this Section and is incapable of remedy or cure, the Company shall not be entitled to any notice or grace hereunder;
 
(d)           the adjudication of the Company as a bankrupt or insolvent, or the entry of an order for relief against the Company or the entry of an order appointing a receiver or trustee for the Company or any of its property or approving a petition seeking reorganization or other similar relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States or any state or any other competent jurisdiction;
 
(e)           a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency, readjustment of debt or receivership law is filed by or (unless dismissed within 90 days) against the Company, or the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Company takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing;
 
(f)           all or any material part of the assets of Company come within the possession or control of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors;
 
(g)           any representation or warranty of the Company in any of the Transaction Documents is discovered to be untrue in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty is made;

(j)           an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs under the facilities evidencing the Senior Debt and is not cured within any applicable cure period.
 
11.           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holder, at its option and without notice to the Company, may declare immediately due and payable the entire Indebtedness, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate specified herein to the date of payment.  Payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies in this Note, or as may be available to Holder at law or in equity. If Holder employs counsel to enforce this Note by suit or otherwise, the Company will reimburse Holder for all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, whether or not suit is actually instituted, together with Holder’s reasonable attorney’s fees incurred for collection, together, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with interest on any judgment obtained by Holder at the rate specified herein, including interest from and after the date of execution, judicial or foreclosure sale until actual payment is made to Holder of the full amount due to Holder.
 
12.           Set-Off.  Without limiting the rights of Holder under applicable law, Holder has and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of the Company now or at any time in Holder’s possession in any capacity whatsoever.  At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Holder may without notice or demand, set-off and apply any and all sums at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Holder to or for the credit of the Company against any or all of the Indebtedness.
 
13.           Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Holder to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Note upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any such right, remedy, power or privilege.  No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Holder. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by Holder shall preclude further or other exercise thereof.  No course of dealing between Holder and the Company shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of Holder’s rights under this Note or affect the duties or obligations of the Company.
 
14.           Remedies Cumulative.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Holder’s favor under the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity.

15.           Recovery of Judgments.  The recovery of any judgment by Holder and/or the levy of execution under any judgment upon any assets of the Company shall not affect in any manner or to any extent any rights, remedies or powers of Holder under this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, but such rights, remedies and powers of Holder shall continue unimpaired as before.
 
16.           Releases.  The Company agrees that (i) Holder may release, compromise, forbear with respect to, waive, suspend, extend or renew any of the terms of the Transaction Documents, and (ii) the Transaction Documents may be amended, supplemented or modified by Holder and the other signatory parties as it may require, without in any way affecting the validity of this Note.  Any action taken by Holder pursuant to the foregoing shall in no way be construed as a waiver or release of any other right or remedy of Holder, or of any Event of Default, or of any liability or obligation of the Company hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents.
 
17.           Indebtedness Solely Corporate Obligations.  No recourse for the payment of any Indebtedness due hereunder or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company under any Transaction Document, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, trustee, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of its subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, this Note.
