WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

ARTICLE 1.
AMENDMENT TO INDENTURE
Section 1.1. The Indenture is hereby amended by adding a new Section
4.12 as follows:
Section 4.12 Certain Distributions Upon Events of Bankruptcy.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Indenture, upon
(i) the occurrence of an event described in clause (6) or (7) of Section 4.1
hereof as a result of which the Issuer becomes subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States Bankruptcy Court, and (ii) pursuant to such event, the Issuer
seeks approvals for, and the Bankruptcy Court confirms, a plan of
reorganization substantially as described on Annex 1 attached hereto (the
"Plan"), then, to the extent necessary to implement the purposes and intent of
such Plan and as set forth below, Holders of the Securities together with the
holders of securities ranking PARI PASSU in right of payment with the
Securities, shall make distributions to holders of securities ranking junior in
right of payment to the Securities as follows:
Holders of the Securities, together with the holders
of securities ranking pari passu in right of payment with the
Securities, will make distributions to the holders of $2.25 Series A
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "FCI Preferred
Stock") of Flagstar Companies, Inc. ("FCI") and holders of the $.50 par
value Common Stock (the "FCI Common Stock") of FCI, as intended to be
made to them pursuant to the Plan, if such classes of holders vote in
favor of the Plan, even if such classes would not otherwise be entitled
to a distribution under the terms of the Plan and the Bankruptcy Laws
because the Plan has not been accepted by one or more senior classes.
In accordance with the foregoing:
(i) if the holders of the 10% Debentures do not accept the Plan, but
the holders of the FCI Preferred Stock accept the Plan, holders of the
FCI Preferred Stock will receive the distributions of securities
otherwise allocated to them on Annex I hereto (and pursuant thereto,
the Trustee shall deliver, or instruct the Disbursing Agent under the
Plan to deliver, to the Transfer Agent for the FCI Preferred Stock for
distribution to the holders of the FCI Preferred Stock on the Effective
Date (as defined in the Plan), 500,000 shares of New Common Stock (as
defined in the Plan) of Reorganized Flagstar (as defined in the Plan)
which is the distribution which the holders of FCI Preferred Stock
would have received if all classes of holders of securities of FCI and
the Company had approved the Plan); and
(ii) if the holders of the 10% Debentures or the holders of the FCI
Preferred Stock do not accept the Plan, but holders of the FCI Common
Stock accept the Plan, holders of the FCI Common Stock will receive the
distribution of securities otherwise allocated to them as set forth on
Annex I hereto (and pursuant thereto, the Trustee shall deliver or
instruct the Disbursing Agent under the Plan to deliver to the Transfer
Agent for the FCI Common Stock for distribution to the holders of the
FCI Common Stock on the Effective Date, the New Warrants (as defined in
the Plan) which is the distribution which the holders of FCI Common
Stock would have received if all classes of holders of securities of
FCI and the Company had approved the Plan).
