Section 2. Release, Termination and Reassignment. The Bank hereby releases
and terminates the Assignment and reassigns the Contribution Agreement to the
Company.
Section 3. Deadline Drawing. If a Deadline Drawing has been made, the Bank
shall hold the proceeds of such Deadline Drawing as collateral for any drawings

Bank will deposit such proceeds in an interest-bearing money market savings
account (the "Pledged Account") established with the Bank (or its designated
affiliate) in the name of KTI, which account is hereby pledged and a security
interest granted to the Bank. To the extent a drawing occurs under the Letter of
Credit after December 1, 1997, the Bank shall apply funds from the proceeds of
the Deadline Drawing as reimbursement for such drawing and all other amounts
payable to the Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement. At such time as the

under the Agreement have been paid or provided for, the Bank shall pay over to
KTI all funds and amounts then remaining in the Pledged Account.

for herein.

with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict
