(other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary) to, declare or make any dividend
payment or other distribution of assets, properties, cash, rights,
obligations or securities on account of any shares of any class of its
Stock (provided that Holdings may declare and pay a dividend payable solely
in shares of common stock of Holdings and cash in lieu of any fractional
shares resulting from such dividend payment), or purchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire for value any shares of its Stock or any warrants, rights
or options to acquire such shares, now or hereafter outstanding; provided,

Person for such Restricted Stock or the Book Value (as defined in the
applicable purchase agreement) of such Restricted Stock.

of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to prejudice any right or
remedy which the Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future
under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
(b) to be a consent to any future amendment, consent or waiver or departure from
the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Documents, and all terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements set forth in the Loan Documents, except as herein waived or amended,

(E) BINDING OBLIGATION. This Amendment has been duly executed and
delivered by each of the Borrowers and is the binding obligation of each of the

CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
