giving effect to this letter amendment and the Bank Amendment, and (b) the Bank
Group is not receiving any remuneration for the Bank Amendment.
4. Covenants of the Company. In consideration of the consent set forth
above, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding Section
10.9, Section 10.11, and Section 10.12 of, or any other provision to the
contrary in, the Note Purchase Agreements or the other Transaction Documents,
the Company will not at any time prior to the time each holder of the Notes has
received the Certificate (a) make any cash payments to acquire all or any
portion of the capital stock or other ownership interest in, or all or any

or remedy of the holders of the Notes pursuant to the Transaction Documents or
