hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all the Company's Senior Indebtedness and in
accordance with and pursuant to that certain Subordination
Agreement of even date herewith among Holder and each of the
Investors party to the Note Purchase Agreement and the holders of
certain Senior Indebtedness of the Company (the "Subordination
Agreement").
4.1 Senior Indebtedness. As used in this Note, the term "Senior
Indebtedness" shall mean the principal of and unpaid accrued
interest (including post-petition interest) on: (i) all
indebtedness of the Company to banks, commercial finance lenders,
insurance companies or other financial institutions regularly
engaged in the business of lending money, which is for money
borrowed by the Company (whether or not secured) including,
without limitation, any indebtedness of the Company and its
subsidiary Temco Fireplace Products, Inc. under the Existing
Credit Facility, and any indebtedness of the Company and its
subsidiary Temco Fireplace Products, Inc. to Xxxxx X. Upfield
evidenced by that Secured Term Note dated July 19, 2002, in the
principal amount of $750,000 (the "Upfield Note"), (ii) any
indebtedness or any debentures, notes or other evidence of
indebtedness issued in exchange for or to refinance such Senior
Indebtedness, or any indebtedness arising from the satisfaction
of such Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor and (iii) any other
amounts constituting "Senior Debt" as defined in the
Subordination Agreement.
4.2 Default on Senior Indebtedness. If there should occur any
receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangements with
creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other
insolvency laws), sale of all or substantially all of the assets,
dissolution, liquidation or any other marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of the Company, or if this Note shall be declared
due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness, then (i) no amount shall be
paid by the Company in respect of the principal of or interest on
this Note at the time outstanding, unless and until the principal
of and interest on the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding shall
be satisfied, and (ii) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed
with the Company by or on behalf of the Holder of this Note that
shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the
principal of and interest on this Note, except subject to the
satisfaction of the principal of and interest on all of the
Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. If there occurs an event of
default that has been declared in writing with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness, or in the instrument under which any Senior
Indebtedness is outstanding, permitting the holder of such Senior
Indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and
until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or
shall have ceased to exist, or all Senior Indebtedness shall have
been satisfied, no payment shall be made in respect of the
principal of or interest on this Note, unless within three (3)
months after the happening of such event of default, the maturity
of such Senior Indebtedness shall not have been accelerated.
-4-
4.3 Effect of Subordination. Subject to the rights, if any, of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness under this Section 4 to
receive cash, securities or other properties otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Holder of this Note, nothing contained in this
Section 4 shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder,
the obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, to pay to the Holder the principal hereof and
interest hereon as and when the same become due and payable, or
shall prevent the Holder of this Note, upon default hereunder,
from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise
provided herein or by applicable law.
4.4 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness and until this Note shall be paid in full, the
Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness (to the extent of payments or distributions
previously made to such holders of Senior Indebtedness pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4.2 above) to receive payments or
distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior
Indebtedness. No such payments or distributions applicable to the
Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company and its
creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the
Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account
of this Note; and for the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions
of this Section 4 shall, as between the Company and its
creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the
Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account
of the Senior Indebtedness.
4.5 Undertaking. By its acceptance of this Note, the Holder
agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably
requested from time to time by the Company or the lender of any
Senior Indebtedness in order to implement the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4 and/or the Subordination Agreement.
It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Holder that with
respect to the Senior Debt evidenced by the Existing Credit
Facility and the Upfield Note, the subordination provisions
contained in the Subordination Agreement shall control and be
applicable to the parties thereto with regard to the Existing
Credit Facility and the Upfield Note.
5. Prepayment. This Note may not be prepaid prior to the date
that the principal amount of this Note becomes due and payable
except with the express written consent of Holders of more than
one-half of the face amount of all then outstanding Notes issued
pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.
6. Conversion.
6.1 Conversion Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
into which this Note may be converted ("Conversion Shares") shall
be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount together
with all accrued interest to the date of conversion by the
Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of such

to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 below.

pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement may, at their option (but
without obligation), submit a written notice (the "Pay-Off
Election") to be received by the Company at least three (3)
calendar days prior to the consummation of the Automatic
Conversion Event, that the Holders voluntarily elect to
accelerate the maturity of the Notes (including those Notes not
held by Holders participating in such notice) on and as of the
effective date of the Automatic Conversion Event, whereupon,
subject to the Subordination Agreement, the entire principal and
unpaid accrued interest hereon shall be due and payable. Upon
exercise in accordance with a Pay-Off Election provided for
herein, such Holder shall surrender such Holder's Note, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Company against receipt of full
payment of all principal of and unpaid interest thereon.
6.2.3 Automatic Conversion. To the extent the Holders

into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2
hereof, it shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the
office of the Company and shall give written notice by mail,
postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate
office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section
6.1.1 or 6.1.2, as applicable, and shall state therein the name
or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock are to be issued. At its expense, the Company
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to
such Holder at such principal office a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of such Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing
such legends as are required by the Note Purchase Agreement and
applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of
counsel to the Company), together with a check payable to the
Holder for any cash amounts payable for fractional shares as
provided in Section 6.4 below. Such conversion shall be deemed
to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the date of such surrender of this Note, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of
such date.
6.3.2 Notice of Conversion Pursuant to Section 6.2.3. If
this Note is automatically converted pursuant to the provisions
of Section 6.2.3 above, written notice shall be delivered to the
Holder of this Note at the address last shown on the records of
the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company
for the purpose of notice or, if no such address appears or is

Company is located, notifying the Holder of the conversion to be
effected, specifying the Conversion Price, the principal amount
of the Note to be converted, the amount of accrued interest to be
converted, the date on which such conversion will occur and
calling upon such Holder to surrender to the Company, in the
manner and at the place designated, the Note. Upon any such
automatic conversion, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly
endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense,
the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver to such Holder at such principal office a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of such Common Stock to
which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing
such legends as are required by the Note Purchase Agreement and
applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of
counsel to the Company), together with any other securities and
property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion
under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the
Holder for any cash amounts payable for fractional shares as
provided in Section 6.4 below.
6.4 Fractional Shares and Effect of Conversion. No fractional
shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this
Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the
Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to
the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is not so
converted, after giving effect to the maximum number of whole
shares into which this note may be converted at the time of any
conversion thereof. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company
shall be forever released from all its obligations and
liabilities under this Note, except that the Company shall be
obligated to pay the Holder, within ten (10) days after the date
of such conversion, any interest accrued and unpaid or
unconverted to and including the date of such conversion, and no

7. Conversion Price Adjustments.
7.1 Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event
the Company should at any time or from time to time after the
date of issuance hereof fix a record date for a split or
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of
Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as
"Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the
Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then,
as of such record date (or the date of such dividend
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately
decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to
such increase of outstanding shares.
7.2 Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date
hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be
appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in
proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
7.3 Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:
7.3.1 any taking by the Company of a record of the
holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose
of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive
any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned
surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend
theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock
of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right; or
7.3.2 any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company to any other person or any consolidation or merger
involving the Company; or

liquidation or winding up of the Company,
the Company will mail to the holder of this Note at least ten
(10) days prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice
specifying:
7.3.3.1 the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right;
and
-8-
7.3.3.2 the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective and the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote
thereon.
7.4 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note, a number of its
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall
not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire
outstanding principal amount of this Note, in addition to such
other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note,
the Company will use reasonable efforts to take such corporate
action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to
such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
8. Assignment. Subject to the restrictions on transfer
described elsewhere herein, the rights and obligations of the
Company and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and
benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and
transferees of the parties.
9. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be
amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the
Company and holders of more than one-half of the face amount of
all then outstanding Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement.
10. Transfer of This Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion
Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of
this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted,
the Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto,
describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written
opinion of such Holder's counsel, to the effect that such offer,
sale or other distribution may be effected without registration
or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect).
Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably
satisfactory opinion, if so requested, the Company, as promptly
as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may
sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in
accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company.
If a determination has been made pursuant to this paragraph that
the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the
Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note
thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities
thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable
restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance
with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the
Company such legend is not required. The Company may issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with
such restrictions. In addition, each certificate representing
shares of Common Stock received upon conversion hereof shall be
endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as
follows:
