(c)           As long as the Company has public equity securities (including the Common Stock) outstanding, MacAndrews will use its best efforts to assure that the Company will continue to maintain a Board comprised of a majority of Independent Directors as well as nominating and compensation committees comprised solely of Independent Directors, in accordance with NYSE listing rules for non-controlled companies.
