<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 10pt">6.13, (vii)&nbsp;from and after November&nbsp;2, 2003, Investments described in
clause (i)&nbsp;of the definition of Investments in B&#038;N.com in an aggregate
amount outstanding not to exceed $115,000,000, (viii)&nbsp;in addition to all
of the foregoing, from and after November&nbsp;2, 2003, Investments described
in clause (i)&nbsp;of the definition of Investments in connection with
Permitted Acquisitions; provided, however, that the aggregate
consideration (including all cash and non-cash consideration and any
assumption of Indebtedness, but excluding any Equity Securities of the
Borrower) for such Investments, together with all such consideration paid
in connection with Permitted Acquisitions not constituting Investments,
shall not exceed, when made, the sum of $105,000,000 plus 50% of the
Borrower&#146;s Cumulative Excess Cash Flow, and provided, further, that, with
respect to Investments in B&#038;N.com only, (a)&nbsp;Investments described in
clause (i)&nbsp;of the definition of Investments shall first be applied to the
basket referred to in clause (vii)&nbsp;above and, after such basket has been
fully utilized, to the basket under this clause (viii), (b)&nbsp;Investments
described in clause (ii)&nbsp;of the definition of Investments shall also be
permitted to be made under this clause (viii)&nbsp;in B&#038;N.com, and (c)&nbsp;the

minority-owned Persons made prior to the date hereof and disclosed on
Exhibit&nbsp;D hereto, and (x)&nbsp;Interest Rate Protection Agreements for an

outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a)&nbsp;in the event that the
Borrower makes Investments in B&#038;N.com under clause (viii)&nbsp;of the
foregoing provision and, subsequent to such Investments, B&#038;N.com becomes
a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, the aggregate amount of all
such Investments shall be deemed to be available again under such clause
(viii)&nbsp;from the date upon which B&#038;N.com became a wholly-owned Subsidiary
(other than any amounts in excess of the Investments permitted under
clause (vii)&nbsp;above made on or after November&nbsp;2, 2003 which were used to
acquire any capital stock of B&#038;N.com except in connection with an
offering of rights to all shareholders of B&#038;N.com), and (b)&nbsp;prior to
B&#038;N.com becoming a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower
may, without such Investments being double-counted, convert any
Investment it has made in B&#038;N.com under clause (viii)&nbsp;of the foregoing
provision to an Investment made under clause (vii)&nbsp;thereof (subject to
the limitations contained in such clause (vii)), and any such amount
converted shall then no longer count against utilization of the B&#038;N.com
Sub-Limit.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is understood and agreed by the Borrower that, for purposes of
determining the Borrower&#146;s compliance with Qualified Investments, the permitted
baskets in effect prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall continue to
govern such compliance for all periods ending on or prior to November&nbsp;1, 2003.
