of the Document Escrow Agreement (the "Termination Notice"), and the Document
Escrow Agreement shall be terminated as of the Effective Date.

      Section 3. Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective as of the
date upon which each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied (such
date, the "Effective Date"):

            3.1 The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower a
duly executed original (or, if elected by the Administrative Agent, an executed
facsimile copy) of this Agreement.

            3.2 The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower
payment of all unpaid fees under the Credit Agreement.

            3.3 The Administrative Agent shall have received satisfactory
evidence that the Borrower has paid (i) all Attorney Costs of the Administrative
Agent to the extent invoiced prior to the Effective Date (including any
previously invoiced and outstanding Attorney Costs that relate to services
previously provided), plus such additional amounts of Attorney Costs as shall
constitute the Administrative Agent's reasonable estimate of Attorney Costs
incurred or to be incurred by it through the Effective Date (provided that such
estimate shall not thereafter preclude a final settling of accounts between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and (ii) all other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with
the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any
other documents to be delivered in connection herewith.

            For the avoidance of doubt, the termination and release set forth in
Section 2 hereof shall be effective, notwithstanding that any representation or
warranty made hereunder may at any time be determined or alleged to be, or have
been, untrue or incorrect.

      Section 4. Further Assurances.

            4.1 The Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver to the
Borrower, without any representations and warranties and at the sole cost and
expense of the Borrower (which shall include, but not be limited to, all
Attorney Costs and all cost and expenses related to the Collateral pledged by or
in connection with Foreign Subsidiaries), any Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases or re-conveyances,
re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of liens, and other similar release or
discharge documents or instruments (and, if applicable, in recordable form), as
the Borrower may reasonable request in order to release, of record, any and all
security interests, financing statements, and all other notices of security
interests and liens that may have been previously filed under or in respect of
the Collateral Documents.

            4.2 The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver, at the sole cost and
expense of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent any approvals, consents,
opinions, certificates, documents and other information as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request in order to facilitate the performance by the
Administrative Agent of its undertaking in Section 4.1 hereof.

      Section 5. Miscellaneous.

            5.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective when all
parties hereto shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof to the
Administrative Agent.

            5.2 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

            5.3 Headings. The headings and underscoring of articles, sections
and clauses have been included herein for convenience only and shall not be
considered in interpreting this Agreement.

            5.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

            5.5 Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any terms
hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change,
waiver, discharge or termination is agreed to in a writing signed by each of the
Administrative Agent, the Document Escrow Agent and the Borrower.

            5.6 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Borrower
may not assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Document Escrow Agent, and any assignment or attempted assignment absent such
consent shall be void and of no effect with respect to the Administrative Agent
and the Document Escrow Agent. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors or permitted assigns any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any
provision contained herein.

            5.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER
FEDERAL LAW.
