         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. In order to induce
the Purchaser to purchase the Term B Note and amend the Securities Purchase
Agreement as provided herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the
Purchaser as follows:

                  (a) ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. Each Company Party and
Subsidiary is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized or
formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
organization or formation. Each Company Party and Subsidiary has the requisite
power and authority, and all material Operating Licenses, necessary to own or
lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and is duly qualified or licensed to
do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties or
assets owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the activities conducted
makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified or licensed would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  (b) AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATIONS. Each Company Party has
the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver, carry out and perform all
of its obligations under each Term B Note Document to which it is a party,
including, with respect to the Company, the power and authority to issue, sell
and deliver the Term B Note being issued and sold by it hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of each Term B Note Document to which each
Company Party is a party, the issuance, sale and delivery by the Company of the
Term B Note and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of
each such Company Party, and by the members and the Board or managers of each
such entity, as applicable. Each Term B Note Document has been duly executed and
delivered by each Company Party that is a party thereto. Each Term B Note
Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Company Party that is
a party thereto, enforceable against each such Company Party in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar laws
relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles
relating to enforceability, and except as rights of indemnity or contribution
may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy
underlying such law.

                  (c) CONFLICTS WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS; EXISTING DEFAULTS;
RANKING.

                           (i) The execution, delivery and performance by each
Company Party of the Term B Note Documents to which it is a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not (i)
violate the Organizational Documents of any such Person, (ii) breach or violate,
conflict with, cause a default under or give rise to a right of termination or a
redemption or an acceleration of rights under, any Material Contract or (iii)
breach or violate any Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, none of the terms of the Folio Funding II/Citigroup Documents (as
such definition has been amended by this Amendment) breaches or violates,
conflicts with, or causes a Default or an Event of Default under or gives rise
to an acceleration of rights under, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any
other Investment Document.

<PAGE>

                           (ii) No Company Party or Subsidiary (other than an
Excluded Subsidiary) is in default, breach or violation of (i) its
Organizational Documents, as amended through the date hereof, (ii) any Material
Contract to which it is party or (iii) any Applicable Laws.

                           (iii) There are no restrictions or limitations in any

or other event which would cause a Change in Control or (iii) any other
financings by any Company Party, including any public or private debt or equity
financings.

                           (iv) All Indebtedness evidenced by the Term A Note,
the Term B Note and any other Note constitutes Senior Indebtedness of the
Company and, other than Indebtedness, if any, arising under the Folio Funding
II/Citigroup Performance Guaranty, no Indebtedness of the Company ranks PARI
PASSU with the Indebtedness evidenced by the Term A Note, the Term B Note and
any other Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
Indebtedness evidenced by the Term A Note, the Term B Note and any other Note,
and all other Obligations, constitute "Senior Debt" as defined in the Renewable
Subordinated Notes Indenture. There are no agreements, indentures, instruments
or other documents to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which it or they may be bound that directly or indirectly requires or results
in the subordination in any manner of any Indebtedness under the Term A Note,
the Term B Note or any other Note or any of the other Obligations to the
repayment of any other existing or future Indebtedness of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

                           (v) The Renewable Subordinated Notes constitute
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company.

Default has occurred and is continuing.

                  (d) CONSENTS. No Company Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate

or performance of this Amendment or any other Term B Note Document or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including,
without limitation, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Term B Note, from (a)
any Governmental Authority, (b) any trustee, Credit Enhancer, rating agency or
other party to any Securitization Transaction or (c) any other Person, other
than those Consents that have been previously obtained or made by the Company
Parties and except where the failure to obtain or make such Consent could not
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (e) OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. After giving effect
to the amended Disclosure Schedules attached as EXHIBIT A, each of the
representations and warranties made by the Company Parties (or any of them) in
the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Collateral Documents, as the case may
be, was true and correct in all material respects as of the date made, and is

effect as if made on and as of the date hereof.

                  (j) STATUS OF FOLIO FUNDING II. The restructuring of the Folio
Funding II/Citigroup Indebtedness has not resulted and will not result in the
recharacterization of the sales contemplated by the Folio II Sale and
Contribution Agreement as secured financings. Folio Funding II has observed and
complied with, and shall observe and comply with, all applicable legal
requirements for the recognition of Folio Funding II as a legal entity separate
and apart from its Affiliates, including those requirements set forth in Section
9(b)(iv) of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Folio Funding II. The
business, assets and liabilities of Folio Funding II are separate and distinct
from those of its Affiliates, and have been and shall be clearly and
consistently disclosed as such.

                  (k) NO DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS WITH CERTAIN PERSONS. None of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Folio Funding II) maintains any
deposit account, securities account or similar account with any Person that has
any right of setoff under the Folio Funding II/Citigroup Documents, and no
property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Folio Funding II)
is in the possession or under the control of any such Person.

                  (l) REVISED PRO FORMA CLOSING BALANCE SHEET. Attached as
EXHIBIT B hereto is a true, correct and complete copy of a consolidated balance
sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2008, as adjusted to
give PRO FORMA effect to (i) the issuance and sale of the Securities, the

                                       12

issuance and sale of the Term B Note and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and this
Amendment and (ii) the restructuring of the Folio Funding II/Citigroup
Indebtedness pursuant to the Folio Funding II/Citigroup Documents (as such term
is amended in this Amendment), in each case as if all such transactions had
occurred on such date (the "PRO FORMA CLOSING BALANCE SHEET"), together with
footnotes describing the PRO FORMA adjustments and the assumptions underlying
the Pro Forma Closing Balance Sheet. The Pro Forma Closing Balance Sheet
properly gives effect to the application of the PRO FORMA adjustments described
therein and contemplated herein and fairly presents in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a PRO
FORMA basis as of such date. All PRO FORMA adjustments and assumptions included
in the Pro Forma Closing Balance Sheet were made in good faith and are
reasonable under the circumstances. After due inquiry, no Key Employee is aware
of any fact or other information that would lead him to believe that such PRO
FORMA adjustments or assumptions are incorrect or misleading in any respect

         5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER. The Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that:

                  (a) The Purchaser is acquiring the Term B Note for its own
account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution thereof in violation of any federal or
applicable state securities laws.

                  (b) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" (as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act). By reason of its
business and financial experience, the Purchaser has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities,
has the capacity to protect its own interests and is able to bear the economic
risk of such investment. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to review the
books and records of the Company Parties and all documents, information and
agreements furnished to the Purchaser by the Company relating to the Term B
Note, and to ask questions of representatives of the Company concerning the
terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

         6. RELEASE.

                  (a) The Company, for itself and on behalf of the Subsidiary
Guarantors and its and their respective successors, assigns, and present and
future stockholders, officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, agents and
attorneys (collectively, the "RELEASING PARTIES"), hereby remises, releases and
forever discharges the Purchaser and its present and former Affiliates,
officers, directors, partners (general and limited), stockholders, members,
managers, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, from and against
any and all claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liabilities,
defenses, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), of
whatever nature, type or description, that are based upon, relate to or arise
out of any facts, acts, omissions, events or circumstances existing or occurring

                                       13
<PAGE>

on or prior to the date hereof, whether arising out of or related to this
Amendment, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties, the
Collateral Documents or any other Investment Document, any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, the administration or enforcement of the
Obligations or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or
therewith, in each case whether known or unknown, existing or potential or
suspected or unsuspected.

                  (b) The Company, for itself and on behalf of the other
Releasing Parties, waives any and all claims, rights and benefits it may have
under any law of any jurisdiction that would render ineffective a release made
by a creditor of claims that the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
its favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by it, would
have materially affected its settlement with the applicable debtor. The Company,
for itself and on behalf of the other Releasing Parties, acknowledges that it is
aware of the following provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code:

                  A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
                  DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
                  EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE
                  MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

                  (c) The Company, for itself and on behalf of the other
Releasing Parties, expressly and voluntarily waives each and all claims, rights,
or benefits it has or may have under section 1542 of the California Civil Code,
or any other similar law of any other jurisdiction, to the full extent that it
may lawfully waive such claims, rights and benefits in connection with this
release. The Company, for itself and on behalf of the other Releasing Parties,
acknowledges that (a) it has been represented by independent legal counsel of
its own choice throughout all of the negotiation that preceded the execution of
this Amendment and that it has executed this Amendment after receiving the
advice of such independent legal counsel, and (b) it and its respective counsel
have had an adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry they
deem necessary or desirable in connection with the release contained in this
SECTION 6.

                  (d) No claim shall be made by the Company or any other
Releasing Party against the Purchaser, or any Affiliates, officers, directors,
partners (general and limited), stockholders, members, managers, employees,
agents, attorneys, successors and assigns of the Purchaser, for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach
of contract or under any other theory of liability arising out of or related to
any of the matters being released under this SECTION 6. The Company, for itself
and on behalf of the other Releasing Parties, hereby waives, releases and agrees
not to sue upon any claim for such damages, whether or not accrued and whether
or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Agreement, the Purchaser hereby consents to the grant by the Company of the
registration rights described in Section 10 of the Folio Funding II/Citigroup
Warrant to the holder thereof.

                  (b) The Purchaser hereby consents to the amendments to the
related Securitization Transaction Documents being entered into on the date
hereof as contemplated by the Folio Funding II/Citigroup Documents to the extent
that such amendments (i) alter the payment priorities in a manner that will
reduce the amounts payable to the Company or any Subsidiary in violation of
clause (c) of Section 9.10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement or (ii) cause
the Company to become contingently liable for the related Indebtedness in
violation of clause (b)(ii) of Section 9.11 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. In addition, the Purchaser hereby waives any breach of Sections 9.10
and 9.11 of the Securities Purchase Agreement that would result from the
Company's consummation on the date hereof of the transactions contemplated by
the terms of the Folio Funding II/Citigroup Documents as they exist on the date
hereof.

                  The consents provided for in this SECTION 7 shall be limited
solely to the matters expressly described therein, respectively, and shall not
be construed or deemed to apply to any other present, or any future, transaction
or matter.

         8. CONFIRMATION; FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. The amendments set forth in
SECTION 2 amend the Securities Purchase Agreement on and as of the date hereof,
and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, as
amended thereby, from and after the date hereof in accordance with its terms.
The Company hereby ratifies, approves and affirms in all respects each of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, the Notes, the Collateral
Documents (including the Liens granted in favor of the Purchaser under the
Collateral Documents) and each of the other Investment Documents, the terms and
other provisions hereof and thereof and the Obligations hereunder and
thereunder.

         9. NO OTHER AMENDMENTS. This Amendment is being delivered without
prejudice to the rights, remedies or powers of the Purchaser under or in
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties,
the Collateral Documents and the other Investment Documents, Applicable Laws or
otherwise and, except as expressly provided in SECTION 2, shall not constitute
or be deemed to constitute an amendment or other modification of, or a
supplement to, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any Investment Document or
the obligations of the Company Parties thereunder. In addition, except as
expressly provided in SECTION 7(b), nothing contained in this Amendment or any
other Term B Note Document is intended to constitute, or shall be construed as,
a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or other breach or violation of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties, the Collateral
Documents or any other Investment Document, whether past, present or future, or
a forbearance by the Purchaser of any of its rights, remedies or powers against
the Company Parties (or any of them) or the Collateral. The Purchaser hereby
expressly reserves all of its rights, powers and remedies under or in connection
with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties, the
Collateral Documents and the other Investment Documents, whether at law or in
equity, including the right to declare all Obligations to be due and payable.

Documents, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Investment Documents
constitute the entire understanding and agreement with respect to the purchase
and sale of the Term B Note and supersede all other prior oral and written, and

of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors and
