The purpose of this letter agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions of

deliver a Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) in the form published by
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"), with such
modifications as you and we shall in good faith agree. Upon the execution by you
and us of such Master Agreement (the "Agreement"), this Confirmation will
supplement, form a part of, and be subject to the Agreement. A copy of the
Agreement has been, or promptly after the date hereof will be, delivered to you.
If Xxxxxxxxx Holding Corporation fails to execute and deliver or to negotiate in
good faith the Agreement within 180 days of the Trade Date, Citibank may give
Xxxxxxxxx Holding Corporation notice that an Additional Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Holding Corporation, in
which event Xxxxxxxxx Holding Corporation will be the only Affected Party.
Prior to execution of the Agreement the provisions of the Master Agreement
(Multicurrency-Cross Border), in the form published by ISDA, are incorporated by
reference herein and form a part of this Confirmation and, further, this
Confirmation (together with all other Confirmations of Transactions previously
entered into between us, notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein) shall
be deemed to be subject to the terms of the Agreement, as if, on the Trade Date
of the first such Transaction between us, you and we had executed the Agreement
(without any Schedule thereto).
The definitions and provisions contained in the 1991 ISDA Definitions (as
published by ISDA) are incorporated by reference into this Confirmation.
This Confirmation and ISDA Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State
of New York.
