                The

                All

                  in a
                  manner specified by the Managing Member.  The Company and the

                  of
                  any Persons properly designated as Trimaran Directors or Non-Trimaran
                  Directors. 

              

      

       

      
        	
              	
                (c)

              	
                For
                  so long as an Investor Member (together with its Affiliates) holds
                  at
                  least 15% of the aggregate number of Membership Units outstanding,
                  such
                  Investor Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
                  designate
                  one (1) Person to be elected as a Non-Trimaran Director, and the
                  Company
                  shall take all Necessary Action to cause the election of such Person
                  as a
                  Non-Trimaran Director; provided, however: (i) American Securities
                  shall
                  have the right, but not the obligation, to elect (or have elected
                  by the
                  Members) one Person to the CAC Board (which Person shall initially
                  be
                  Glenn Kaufman) until such time as American Securities no longer
                  holds
                  Membership Units; provided further, however, that upon consummation
                  of an
                  IPO, such right shall remain until such time as American Securities
                  holds
                  less than its Threshold Interest Amount, (ii) FS shall have the
                  right, but
                  not the obligation, to elect (or have elected by the Members) one
                  Person
                  (the “FS
                  Director”) to the CAC Board (which Person shall initially be John
                  M. Roth) until such time as FS collectively holds less than 5%
                  of the
                  aggregate number of Membership Units outstanding, and (iii) until
                  such
                  time as FS holds less than 5% of the aggregate number of Membership
                  Units,
                  the Managing Member shall not change the class or voting power
                  of the
                  members of the CAC Board in a manner that materially adversely
                  affects the
                  FS Director without the consent of FSA V and FSEP V.
                  

              

      

       

      
        	
              	
                (d)

              	
                Notwithstanding
                  anything to the contrary herein, any Non-Trimaran Director shall
                  be
                  reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member (it being understood
                  that
                  Glenn Kaufman, David L. Horing, Michael G. Fisch, John M. Roth,
                  Jon D.
                  Ralph and Benjamin D. Geiger are reasonably acceptable to the Managing
                  Member). The Company and the Managing Member shall take all Necessary
                  Action to cause the election of any Non-Trimaran Director pursuant
                  to the
                  foregoing.

                  5.01 of the Agreement shall be amended to add the following provision
                  at
                  the end of such section:

              

      

      
        	
              	
                 

                (f)

              	
                 

                Beginning
                  (i) two (2) years following the consummation of a Qualified Public
                  Offering (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), or (ii) any
                  time
                  after the value of common stock of CAC, based on any daily closing
                  price,
                  previously sold to the public pursuant to a registration statement
                  or
                  pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, exceeds $100 million,
                  but
                  not before two (2) years after an IPO, (iii) on the date on or
                  after an
                  IPO on which the Trimaran Vehicles shall have Transferred, directly
                  or
                  indirectly, Membership Units or shares of CAC common stock representing
                  more than fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of CAC common
                  stock
                  Beneficially Owned by the Trimaran Vehicles as of the date hereof,
                  FS
                  shall be entitled to receive a pro rata distribution of the shares
                  of CAC
                  common stock held by the Company in proportion to its ownership
                  of
                  membership interests in the Company for subsequent resale in compliance
                  with applicable securities laws and with the Stockholders Agreement.
                  In
                  the event that FS receives any distribution of shares pursuant
                  to the
                  foregoing, FS agrees that it shall (i) execute a supplementary
                  agreement
                  pursuant to Article IX of the Stockholders Agreement adding FS
                  as an
                  Additional Stockholder under such agreement and (ii) comply with
                  any
                  customary requests by underwriters with respect to lockup or similar
                  arrangements with securityholders to the extent major stockholders
                  are
                  similarly bound. Any distribution to FS pursuant to this Section
                  5.01(f)
                  shall be in termination of its entire collective interest in the
                  Company,
                  subject to its rights pursuant to Article X which shall continue
                  in full
                  force and effect with respect to

              

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      
        	
              	
              	
                any
                  period prior to such distribution during which FS was a Member
                  of the
                  Company.  In the event that any Affiliate of CAC completes an
                  IPO prior to any distribution pursuant to Section 5.01(f) of this
                  Agreement, each of the Company and FS shall use commercially reasonable
                  efforts to preserve each of FS and the Trimaran Vehicles’ rights pursuant
                  to Section 3.04 of this Agreement.

              

      

      

      
        	
                1.6.

              	
              	
                Section
                  7.02(d) of the Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read
                  as
                  follows:

              

      

        

      
        	
              	
                 (d)

              	
                Promptly
                  following the end of the Election Period, the Company shall notify
                  each
                  electing Member of the amount of Newly Issued Securities or Other
                  Securities (as the case may be) for which it has exercised its
                  rights
                  under this Section 7.02, each such Member shall make a Capital
                  Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the purchase
                  price for
                  such Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities (as the case may
                  be), and
                  the Managing Member shall apply such Capital Contributions to the
                  purchase
                  by the Company of such Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities
                  (as the
                  case may be). The Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion,
                  shall
                  determine whether the Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities
                  (as the
                  case may be) shall be held by such Member or by the Company and,
                  if by the
                  Company, the number and class of new membership interests in the
                  Company
                  to be issued in respect of any Capital Contributions by such Member
                  for
                  such Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities (as the case may
                  be) and
                  the terms and conditions applicable to such membership interests.
                  The
                  Managing Member shall amend Schedule B to reflect the purchase
                  of any such
                  membership interests. Alternatively, in the event the Managing
                  Member
                  determines that such Member shall hold such Newly Issued Securities
                  or
                  Other Securities (as the case may be) directly rather than through
                  its
                  membership interest in the Company, such Member hereby agrees that
                  it
                  shall, upon the Managing Member's request, (i) enter into a shareholders
                  agreement with the Managing Member (or its designee) in respect
                  of such
                  Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities (as the case may be)
                  containing substantially the same terms and conditions set forth
                  in
                  Section 5.01(f) and Articles VII, VIII, and XIII hereof, and providing
                  that the right to vote such Newly Issued Securities or Other Securities
                  (as the case may be) shall remain with the Company, or, if the
                  Company has
                  been dissolved, shall lie with the Managing Member, until such
                  time as the
                  Managing Member (or its Affiliates) no longer Control, directly
                  or
                  indirectly, CAC, and (ii) become a party to the Stockholders Agreement
                  (or
                  a similar agreement containing registration rights); provided,
                  in each
                  case that acquiring such securities directly and entering into
                  such
                  stockholders agreement does not violate any of the provisions of
                  the
                  underlying agreements governing such Newly Issued Securities or
                  Other
                  Securities.

              

      

       

      2. 
         Reference
        to and Effect upon the Agreement.  Except as specifically set
        forth above, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby
        ratified and confirmed.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of
        this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment of any provision of the
        Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein.

                    its outside
                    legal counsel, that the filing of a Registration request would
                    require the
                    disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona
                    fide
                    business purpose for preserving as confidential, the Company
                    shall not be
                    obligated to effect a Registration pursuant to this Section 7.1
                    until the
                    earlier of (A) the date upon which such material information
                    is disclosed
                    to the public by the Company or ceases to be material, or
                    (B)

                    (45) days after such good faith determination; provided, further,
                    that the
                    Requesting Stockholder shall not have the right to utilize the
                    services of
                    an underwriter unless the anticipated gross proceeds of the shares
                    of
                    Company Stock to be offered exceed $25 million.  The Requesting
                    Stockholder requesting a Registration under this Section 7.1
                    may, at any
                    time prior to the effective date of the registration statement
                    relating to
                    such Registration, revoke such request by providing written notice
                    thereof
                    to the Company, which revocation shall not count as a demand
                    registration
                    under this Section 1.7.  Notwithstanding anything to the
                    contrary herein, FS's right to deliver a Demand Notice shall
                    be subject to
                    the following limitations and FS’s registration rights hereunder shall be
                    subject to the following: 

                

        

         

        i.            
          the Company shall have the
          right
          to delay any Registration pursuant to a Demand Notice from FS under the
          circumstances and subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(a) for a period
          of no
          more than 90 days from the date such Demand Notice (as opposed to 45 days);
          provided that the Company may exercise each such delay right on only one
          occasion;

         

        ii.            
          a member of the Trimaran
          Group may
          elect with respect to one demand right to be exercised by any member of
          the
          Trimaran Group under this Agreement, to preempt any Demand Notice delivered
          by
          FS, by delivery of written notice to FS within ten (10) Business Days of
          the
          Trimaran Group's receipt of FS's Demand Notice, in which case FS shall
          not be
          deemed to have exercised its right to deliver a Demand
          Notice.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
          contrary, FS shall have the right to participate in such demand and any
          other
          demand registration by any member of the Trimaran Group on a pro rata basis
          with
          the members of the Trimaran Group based on the number of shares sought
          to be
          included in such demand by FS and the members of the Trimaran Group and
          any
          member of the Trimaran Group shall have the right to participate in any
          demand
          registration by FS or its transferees on a pro rata basis with FS or its
          transferees based on the number of shares sought to be included in such
          demand
          by FS or its transferees and the members of the Trimaran
          Group.

         

        1.7.2. Section
          7.3(b)(i) shall be amended to
          read in their entirety as follows:

                    to be allocated pro rata among the Trimaran Group and FS based
                    on the
                    number of shares sought to be included in such demand by FS and
                    the
                    members of the Trimaran

                  LLC
                  Agreement is not in effect, an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate
                  outstanding shares of Company common stock; provided

                  shall
                  not include (i) any securities sold to the public either pursuant

                  Registration Statement which has been declared effective under
                  Securities
                  Act or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor
                  provision thereof), or (ii) securities which, in the written opinion
                  of
                  counsel to the Company, reasonably acceptable to FS, may be sold
                  during

                  collectively held by FS; provided further that
