for in Sections 3 through 6 hereof shall be consummated at a closing to be held
on the Restatement Effective Date at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP,
or at such other place as the parties hereto shall agree upon.

          (b) The BC Borrower shall give not less than one Business Day's
written notice to the Administrative Agent proposing a date as the Restatement
Effective Date, and the Administrative Agent shall send copies of such notice to
the Lenders. The Tranche D Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on April 18, 2005, if the Restatement Effective Date shall not have
occurred at or prior to such time.

          (c) The Required Lenders hereby waive the limitations set forth in
Section 6.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent, but only to the
extent, necessary to permit the BC Borrower to incur the Tranche D Term Loans on
the Restatement Effective Date. The Required Lenders also hereby waive the
requirement set forth in Section 2.11(g) of the Existing Credit Agreement that
the Borrowers give three Business Days' prior notice of the prepayment of
Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans to be made on the Restatement Effective
Date; PROVIDED that such notice shall be given not later than 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Business Day before the date of prepayment (it being
understood that any such notice may be revoked if the Restatement Effective Date
does not occur).

          (d) Until the Restated Credit Agreement becomes effective in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby.

          SECTION 3. TRANCHE D TERM LOANS; PREPAYMENT OF TRANCHE B TERM LOANS.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche D Lender
agrees to make a Tranche D Term Loan to the BC Borrower on the Restatement
Effective Date in the manner contemplated by this Section.

          (b) The BC Borrower shall give a Borrowing Request to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Restated Credit
Agreement in order to request the Borrowing of Tranche D Term Loans to be made
on the Restatement Effective Date. The provisions of Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.06
and 2.16 of the Restated Credit Agreement shall be applicable to such requested
Borrowing, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, regardless of whether the Restatement Effective
Date occurs (and any obligations arising under any such Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement if the Restatement Effective Date does not
occur); PROVIDED that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, the BC Borrower may
request that the initial Tranche D Term Borrowing be made as a Eurodollar
Borrowing later than otherwise permitted, if

<Page>

                                                                               4

such request is made not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business
Day before the Restatement Effective Date and (ii) in such event, the LIBO Rate
for the Interest Period for such Borrowing commencing on the Restatement
Effective Date will be determined by the Administrative Agent by such means as
it determines to be reasonably appropriate to reflect market rates for such
Interest Period, rather than in accordance with the express terms of the
definition of "LIBO Rate". The provisions of Section 9.04 of the Restated Credit
Agreement shall be applicable to assignments of Tranche D Commitments.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Tranche D
Term Loans to be made by each Rolling Tranche D Lender on the Restatement
Effective Date shall be made by converting Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (not exceeding its
Rolling Tranche D Commitment) to, and exchanging such Indebtedness for, Tranche
D Term Loans in an equal principal amount (on a net basis), and such
Indebtedness shall remain outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement as
Tranche D Term Loans.

          (d) On the Restatement Effective Date, the BC Borrower shall prepay in
full all Tranche B Term Loans then outstanding (other than Existing Term Loans
exchanged for Tranche D Term Loans pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section),
together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Tranche B Term Loans
(including Existing Term Loans exchanged for Tranche D Term Loans pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section), all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 of
the Existing Credit Agreement as a result of the prepayment of the Tranche B
Term Loans (to the extent that the BC Borrower has received notice of such
amounts) and all other amounts payable under the Existing Credit Agreement to
the Tranche B Lenders in their capacity as such (to the extent that the BC
Borrower has received notice of such amounts). The rights of the Tranche B
Lenders under Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 of the Existing Credit
Agreement shall survive such prepayment to the extent of amounts not so paid to
them on the Restatement Effective Date. The exchange of any Existing Term Loans
for Tranche D Term Loans pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be
treated as a prepayment of such Existing Term Loans for purposes of Section 2.16
of the Existing Credit Agreement.

          (e) The BC Borrower hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative
Agent to apply the proceeds of the Tranche D Term Loans to prepay principal of
the outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (other than Existing Term Loans exchanged
for Tranche D Term Loans pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) on the
Restatement Effective Date. It is understood that the BC Borrower shall be
responsible for all payments required to be made pursuant to paragraph (d) of
this Section to the extent not made with such proceeds.

          (f) Each Tranche B Lender that executes this Agreement specifically in
the capacity as a Consenting Lender or Required Lender on a signature page
hereto which does not have a Tranche D Commitment shall be deemed on the
Restatement Effective Date to have consented to this Agreement but shall not
have any commitment to make Tranche D Term Loans.

          SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL REVOLVING COMMITMENTS. (a) Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, on the Restatement Effective Date (i) each
Additional Revolving Lender that is not already a Revolving Lender under the
Existing Credit Agreement will become a Revolving Lender under the Restated
Credit Agreement with a Revolving Commitment equal to its Additional Revolving
Commitment and (ii) the Revolving Commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement
of each Additional Revolving Lender that is already a Revolving Lender
thereunder shall be increased by the amount of its Additional Revolving
Commitment. The effect of the foregoing shall be that the total Revolving
Commitments in effect under the Existing Credit Agreement will be increased by
the total amount of Additional Revolving Commitments.

          (b) On the Restatement Effective Date, the BC Borrower shall prepay in
full all Revolving Loans (if any) then outstanding, together with all accrued
and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans, all amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement as a result of the prepayment of
the Revolving Loans (to the extent that the BC Borrower has received notice of
such amounts) and all accrued and unpaid commitment fees and Letter of Credit
participation fees accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and clause (i) of Section
2.12(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement. The BC Borrower's obligation to make
such payments may be financed by making a Revolving Borrowing on the Restatement
Effective Date under the Restated Credit Agreement, giving effect to the
Additional Revolving Commitments, subject to applicable conditions to borrowing.

          SECTION 5. AMENDMENT OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Required Restatement
Lenders hereby (a) authorize the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver any
amendments or modifications to the Security Documents that the Collateral Agent
determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Restatement
Transactions and (b) consent to all such amendments or modifications; PROVIDED
that such amendments or modifications to the Security Documents shall not become
effective prior to the Restatement Effective Date.

          SECTION 6. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT.
Effective immediately after the exchange or prepayment of the Tranche B Term
Loans pursuant to Sections 3(c) and (d) above, the Existing Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A
hereto. From and after the effectiveness of such amendment and restatement, (i)
the terms "Agreement", "this Agreement", "herein", "hereinafter", "hereto",
"hereof" and words of similar import, as used in the Restated Credit Agreement,
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Existing Credit
Agreement as amended and restated in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement
and (ii) the term "Credit Agreement", as used in the other Loan Documents, shall
mean the Restated Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 7. CONDITIONS. The consummation of the transactions set forth
in Sections 3 through 6 of this Agreement, including the obligations of the
Tranche D Lenders to make Tranche D Term Loans and the effectiveness of the
Additional Revolving Commitments, shall be subject to the satisfaction of the
following conditions precedent:

certificates as the Agents or their counsel may reasonably request relating to

Transactions, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents
and their counsel.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated
the Restatement Effective Date and signed by the President, a Vice President or
a Financial Officer of the BC Borrower, confirming compliance with the

Credit Agreement, with the same effect as though the Restated Credit Agreement
were in effect and the Tranche D Term Loans were being made thereunder.

          (e) The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other
amounts due and payable on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date,
including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be
reimbursed or paid by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

and the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a completed Perfection

officer or Financial Officer of each of the Borrowers, together with all
attachments contemplated thereby, including the results of a search of the
Uniform Commercial Code (or equivalent) filings made with respect to the Loan
Parties in the jurisdictions contemplated by the Perfection Certificate and
copies of the financing statements (or similar documents) disclosed by such
search and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agents that the Liens
indicated by such financing statements (or similar documents) are permitted by
Section 6.02 of the Restated Credit Agreement or have been released and (ii) to
the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, (A) amendments to each
Mortgage executed in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement providing
that the Tranche D Term Loans of each Lender

                                                                               7

(in addition to other Obligations) shall be secured by a Lien on each Mortgaged
Property and (B) a policy or policies of title insurance or title endorsement to

payments required to be made under Section 4(b) hereof.

          (i) The conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of the Restated Credit
Agreement shall be satisfied with the same effect as though the Restated Credit
Agreement were in effect and the Tranche D Term Loans were being made
thereunder.

          (j) The Administrative Agent shall have received all documentation and
other information requested by it to satisfy the requirements of bank regulatory
authorities under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the
Restatement Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of the transactions set forth in
Sections 3 through 6 of this Agreement and the obligations of the Tranche D
Lenders to make Tranche D Term Loans hereunder and the effectiveness of the
Additional Revolving Commitments, in each case shall not become effective unless
each of the foregoing conditions is satisfied (or waived pursuant to Section 8
below) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 18, 2005 (and, in

modified hereby. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the provisions
of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement as in
effect immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date will continue to be
effective as to all matters arising out of or in any way related to facts or

represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (ii)
the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) EXPIRATION DATE. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to
the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of
the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), subject to renewal
provisions reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank (which shall in
any event permit such Issuing Bank to disallow renewal) and (ii) the date that
is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

          (d) PARTICIPATIONS. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed
by the BC Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section,
or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the BC Borrower for
any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

          (e) REIMBURSEMENT. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, the BC Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not

<Page>

                                                                              41

later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the date that such LC
Disbursement is made, if the BC Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date that such LC Disbursement is made or (ii)
otherwise, the Business Day immediately following the later of the date that
such LC Disbursement is made or the date of receipt by the BC Borrower of notice
of such LC Disbursement; PROVIDED that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than
the applicable minimum borrowing amount, the BC Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the BC
Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the BC Borrower
fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the BC Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then
due from the BC Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, MUTATIS
MUTANDIS, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt
by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the BC Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for
any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a
Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
relieve the BC Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          (f) OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The BC Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the BC Borrower's obligations hereunder.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of
their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of
or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any
payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of

<Page>

                                                                              42

the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,
omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond
the control of any Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the BC Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by the BC Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the BC Borrower that are caused by such Issuing
Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other
documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The
parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

          (g) DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. The applicable Issuing Bank shall,
promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the BC Borrower by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; PROVIDED that any failure
to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the BC Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect
to any such LC Disbursement.

          (h) INTERIM INTEREST. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the BC Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof
shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC
Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the BC Borrower reimburses
such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans; PROVIDED that, if the BC Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall
apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date
of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.

          (i) REPLACEMENT OR TERMINATION OF AN ISSUING BANK. Any Issuing Bank
may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.
An

<Page>

                                                                              43

Issuing Bank's obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder may
be terminated at any time by written agreement among the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that after giving effect
thereto there is at least one remaining Issuing Bank obligated to issue Letters
of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement or termination of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement
or termination shall become effective, the BC Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, the
successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter. After the replacement or termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder,
the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement or termination, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

          (j) ADDITION OF ISSUING BANK. Any Revolving Lender may at any time
become an Issuing Bank hereunder by written agreement between the BC Borrower
and such Revolving Lender, subject to notice to and the consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent. From and after the effective
date of any such Revolving Lender becoming an Issuing Bank, such Revolving
Lender shall have the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement. Any Revolving Lender that becomes an Issuing Bank shall not cease to
be an Issuing Bank hereunder if it later ceases to be a Revolving Lender
hereunder.

          (k) CASH COLLATERALIZATION. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the BC Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater
than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the BC Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such
date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; PROVIDED that the obligation
to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the BC
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The BC Borrower also
shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent
required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the BC Borrower's risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on
such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for

                                                                              44

which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the BC Borrower
for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy
other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the BC Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the BC Borrower within three Business Days after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

          (l) CERTAIN NOTICES BY ISSUING BANKS. Each Issuing Bank that is not
the same Person as the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Administrative Agent of (i) the amount and expiration date of each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at or prior to the time of issuance thereof,
(ii) any amendment or modification to any such Letter of Credit at or prior to
the time of such amendment or modification and (iii) any termination, surrender,
cancelation or expiry of any such Letter of Credit at or prior to the time of
such termination, surrender, cancelation or expiration.

          (m) EXISTING LETTERS OF CREDIT. All Existing Letters of Credit shall
be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement as of the Original
Effective Date and thereupon shall constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes
of the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 2.06. FUNDING OF BORROWINGS. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; PROVIDED that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
BC Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the BC Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the BC Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
PROVIDED that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the BC Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the BC Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the BC Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate

<Page>

                                                                              45

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the BC Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan
included in such Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.07. INTEREST ELECTIONS. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
BC Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The BC Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall
not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the BC Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the BC Borrower
were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election
to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the BC
Borrower.

          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

          (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and,
     if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
     thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
     (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
     and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

          (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
     Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

          (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
     Eurodollar Borrowing; and

          (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
     term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the BC Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

<Page>

                                                                              46

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) If the BC Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the BC Borrower, then, so long as
an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.08. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the
Revolving Maturity Date. The Tranche D Commitments shall terminate on the
Restatement Effective Date upon funding of the Tranche D Term Loans.

          (b) The BC Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that (i) each such reduction shall
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000 and (ii) the BC Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving
Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) The BC Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the BC Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
PROVIDED that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by
the BC Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the BC
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Commitments.

          SECTION 2.09. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The BC
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account

<Page>

                                                                              47

of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche D Term Loan of
such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to each Swingline Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of such Lender on the
earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the date that is five Business Days
after such Swingline Loan is made; PROVIDED that on each date that a Revolving
Borrowing is made, the BC Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were
outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the BC Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made to the BC Borrower hereunder, the Class
and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of
any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
BC Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; PROVIDED that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the BC Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the BC Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or
more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

          SECTION 2.10. AMORTIZATION OF TERM LOANS. (a) Subject to adjustment
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the BC Borrower shall repay Tranche D
Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount
set forth opposite such date:

</Table>

          (b) To the extent not previously paid all Tranche D Term Loans shall
be due and payable on the Tranche D Maturity Date.

          (c) Any prepayment of a Tranche D Term Borrowing shall be applied to
reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche D Term Borrowings to
be made pursuant to this Section in the direct chronological order of maturity.
If the initial aggregate amount of the Lenders' Tranche D Commitments exceeds
the aggregate principal amount of Tranche D Term Loans that are made on the
Restatement Effective Date, then the scheduled repayments of Tranche D Term
Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section shall be reduced ratably by an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.

          (d) Prior to any repayment of any Tranche D Term Borrowings hereunder,
the BC Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall
notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Tranche D Term
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid
Borrowing. Repayments of Tranche D Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by
accrued interest on the amount repaid.

          SECTION 2.11. PREPAYMENT OF LOANS. (a) Each Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any of its Borrowings in whole
or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

<Page>

                                                                              49

          (b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the BC Borrower shall prepay
Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are
outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.05(k)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

          (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of either Holding Company, either Borrower or any
Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the BC Borrower shall, within
three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are so received, prepay Term
Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (or, in the
case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of the term
Prepayment Event, 50% of such Net Proceeds); PROVIDED that, in the case of any
event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term Prepayment
Event and subject to Section 6.06, if the BC Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the BC Borrower to
the effect that the BC Borrower or its Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net
Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate),
within 360 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property,
equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the BC Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is
continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net
Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of
any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such
360-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal
to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. In addition, in the event
and on each occasion that the BC Borrower, the Timber Borrower or any Subsidiary
shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any asset (whether or not such
transaction shall constitute a Prepayment Event), if the BC Borrower would be
required to prepay or redeem, or to offer to prepay or redeem, any Subordinated
Debt or any Senior Unsecured Debt as a result of such transaction unless the
proceeds of such transaction are applied within a specified period to prepay
Term Borrowings (or otherwise reinvested as permitted in accordance with the
terms of such Subordinated Debt or Senior Unsecured Debt, as applicable), then
the BC Borrower shall (unless such proceeds are otherwise reinvested within the
specified period in a manner that relieves the BC Borrower of any such
requirement in respect of the Subordinated Debt or Senior Unsecured Debt, as
applicable) prepay Term Borrowings within such specified period to the extent
necessary to relieve the BC Borrower of any such requirement.

          (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrowers, commencing
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the BC Borrower shall prepay Term
Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) 50% of
Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year over (B) the aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans optionally prepaid during the period from and including March 31 of
the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated to but excluding
March 31 of the fiscal year during which such prepayment is being made (or, if
earlier, the date on which such prepayment is made); PROVIDED that (i) the
aggregate prepayment amount required by this paragraph in respect of a fiscal
year shall be calculated based upon 25% (instead of 50%)

<Page>

                                                                              50

of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio is less than or
equal to 3.5 to 1.0 on the last day of such fiscal year and (ii) no prepayment
shall be required by this paragraph in respect of Excess Cash Flow for any
fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 on the
last day of such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall
be made on or before the date on which financial statements are delivered
pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash
Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 90 days after the end of such
fiscal year).

          (e) In the event that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
either Holding Company, either Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of a
Timberland Prepayment Event, the BC Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an
aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Net Proceeds so received (it being
understood that, for purposes of determining the amount of any prepayment
pursuant to this paragraph, such Net Proceeds shall be deemed to include the
fair market value of all Non-Cash Timberlands Consideration received by any Loan
Party in connection with such Timberland Prepayment Event). Prepayments required
pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall be made within three Business Days after
the date of receipt of any Net Proceeds that results in the aggregate cumulative
amount of such Net Proceeds so received (and in respect of which no prepayment
has been made pursuant to this paragraph (e)) exceeding $5,000,000.

          (f) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under
this Section, the BC Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be
prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment
pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section.

          (g) The BC Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender) by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; PROVIDED that, if a
notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08,
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such
notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a
mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied

<Page>

                                                                              51

ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

          (h) All prepayments of Tranche D Term Loans effected on or prior to
December 31, 2005 with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or
incurrence of new secured credit facilities (excluding a refinancing of all the
facilities outstanding under this Agreement in connection with another
transaction not permitted by this Agreement (as determined prior to giving
effect to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement being adopted in connection
with such transaction) so long as the primary purpose of such transaction is not
to refinance Indebtedness hereunder at an Applicable Rate or similar interest
rate spread more favorable to the BC Borrower), shall be accompanied by a
prepayment fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of such prepayments if the
Applicable Rate or similar interest rate spread applicable to such new term
loans is or, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, could be less than the
Applicable Rate applicable to the Tranche D Term Loans, as the case may be, as
of the date hereof.

          SECTION 2.12. FEES. (a) The BC Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused
amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such
Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Original Effective Date. All commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of
a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving
Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender
shall be disregarded for such purpose).

          (b) The BC Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable
Rate as applicable for purposes of determining the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date
to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at
the rate of 0.25% per annum (or such other rate separately agreed upon between
the BC Borrower and such Issuing Bank) on the average daily amount of the LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and
the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as

<Page>

                                                                              52

such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including
the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Original Effective Date; PROVIDED that all
such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an
Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after
demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (c) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed to be payable to the Administrative Agent.

          (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable
Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case
of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.13. INTEREST. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Committed Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Each Uncommitted Swingline Loan shall bear interest at such rate
per annum as shall be separately agreed by the BC Borrower and the relevant
Uncommitted Swingline Lender; PROVIDED that such rate shall not exceed the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon

<Page>

                                                                              53

termination of the Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

          (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.14. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
     exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
     the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
     fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their
     Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.15. INCREASED COSTS. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
     reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

          (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank
     market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
     made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or
     participation therein;

<Page>

                                                                              54

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

          (b) If any Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such
Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the
policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank
or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

          (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or
its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; PROVIDED
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's
intention to claim compensation therefor; PROVIDED FURTHER that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

          SECTION 2.16. BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto,

<Page>

                                                                              55

(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or
Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(g) and is
revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result
of a request by the BC Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such
event, the BC Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined
reasonably and in good faith by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan
had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been
applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last
day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest
Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on
such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender
would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered
to the BC Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The BC
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.17. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of either Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; PROVIDED that if either Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or

<Page>

                                                                              56

liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which either
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender
has received written notice from such Borrower advising it of the availability
of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by either Borrower or with respect to which either
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay
over such refund to the applicable Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section
2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); PROVIDED, that each Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to either Borrower or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.18. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF
SET-OFFS. (a) The BC Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or
under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds,

<Page>

                                                                              57

without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at
its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made
directly to an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein
and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other
Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.

          (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Committed Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans,
Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans
and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans; PROVIDED that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to
apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant,
other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this

<Page>

                                                                              58

paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against each Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the BC Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder
that the BC Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the BC Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the BC
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

          (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

          SECTION 2.19. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if either Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The BC
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if
either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the BC
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to

<Page>

                                                                              59

the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); PROVIDED that (i) the BC Borrower shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is
being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Committed Swingline Lender), which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the BC Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such
assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

          SECTION 2.20. INCREASE IN REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS. (a) The BC
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly deliver a copy to each of the Revolving Lenders), request that the
total Revolving Commitments be increased (a "REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE");
PROVIDED that the total Revolving Commitments shall not be increased by more
than $25,000,000 during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.
Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the requested increase in the
total Revolving Commitments and the date on which such increase is requested to
become effective and (ii) whether the BC Borrower desires to effect all or any
portion of such increase by offering the Revolving Lenders the opportunity to
ratably increase their Revolving Commitments. If such notice indicates that the
BC Borrower elects to offer Revolving Lenders the opportunity to ratably
increase their Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Revolving Lenders of such offer and the amount of the proposed increase to be
offered ratably to the Revolving Lenders, and each Revolving Lender shall, by
notice to the BC Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10
days after the date of the BC Borrower's notice, either agree to increase its
Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or decline to
increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not
deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Revolving Commitment). Regardless of whether the BC
Borrower's notice elects to offer Revolving Lenders the opportunity to ratably
increase their Revolving Commitments, the BC Borrower may arrange for one or
more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial
institution being called an "AUGMENTING REVOLVING LENDER"), which may include
any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving
Commitments in order to effect all or part of the proposed increase in the total
Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that each Augmenting Revolving Lender, if not
already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Committed Swingline Lender (such
approvals not to be unreasonably withheld), and the BC Borrower and each
Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such

<Page>

                                                                              60

documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence
its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder. Any
increase in the total Revolving Commitments may be made in an amount which is
less than the increase requested by the BC Borrower if the BC Borrower so
elects.

          (b) On the effective date (the "REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE
EFFECTIVE DATE") of any Revolving Commitment Increase, if any Revolving Loans
are outstanding, the BC Borrower (i) shall prepay all Revolving Loans then
outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) and (ii) may, at
its option, fund such prepayment by simultaneously borrowing Revolving Loans of
the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request
delivered pursuant to Section 2.03, which Revolving Loans shall be made by the
Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments (calculated after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment
Increase); PROVIDED that such prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this
paragraph shall not be required if such Revolving Commitment Increase is
effected entirely by ratably increasing the Revolving Commitments of the
existing Revolving Lenders. The payments made pursuant to clause (i) above in
respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to Section 2.16.

          (c) Increases and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this
Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice
delivered by the BC Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a)
above; PROVIDED that the BC Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), extend such date by up to
30 days by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent no less than
three Business Days prior to the date specified in the notice delivered by the
BC Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the total Revolving
Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender) or addition
of an Augmenting Revolving Lender shall become effective under this Section
unless (i) on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date, the conditions
set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such
date and executed by a Financial Officer of the BC Borrower, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the
Lenders) (A) documents consistent with those delivered on the Restatement
Effective Date under clauses (b) and (c) of Section 7 of the Amendment and
Restatement Agreement and (B) to the extent requested by the Administrative
Agent, documents consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective
Date under clauses (f)(ii)(A) and (B) of Section 7 of the Amendment and
Restatement Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Each of the Holding Companies and the Borrowers represents and
warrants to the Lenders that:

          SECTION 3.01. ORGANIZATION; POWERS. Each of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to
do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required. Each of the Timber Installment Note Subsidiaries is
duly organized and validly existing as a Delaware limited liability company.

          SECTION 3.02. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABILITY. The Restatement
Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party's
corporate or limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate or limited liability company and, if required,
stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
of the Holding Companies and the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan
Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered
by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Holding Company, such Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

          SECTION 3.03. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; NO CONFLICTS. The Restatement
Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except filings
necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will not
violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries or its
assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by
any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries, and (d) will
not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any of the
Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries, except Liens created under
the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 3.04. FINANCIAL CONDITION; NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. (a) The
Holding Companies and the Borrowers have heretofore furnished to the Lenders

<Page>

                                                                              62

(i) consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and related statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows of each of (x) the Acquired
Businesses, taken as a whole, (y) the Timberland Assets, on a stand-alone basis
and (z) the Operating Businesses, taken as a whole, in each case as of and for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent
public accountants and (ii) the audited consolidated and unaudited consolidating
balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows of each of (x) the Holding Companies and their consolidated
subsidiaries (combined), (y) the BC Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries
and (z) the Timber Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as
of December 31, 2004, and for the periods January 1, 2004, through October 28,
2004, and October 29, 2004, through December 31, 2004, reported on (in the case
of such audited statements) by KPMG LLP. Such financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of (A) in the case of the financial statements
referred to in clause (i) above, the Acquired Businesses, the Timberland Assets
and the Operating Businesses and (B) in the case of the financial statements
referred to in clause (ii) above, the Persons referred to therein, in each case
as of such dates and for such periods, in accordance with GAAP.

          (b) The Holding Companies and the Borrowers have heretofore furnished
to the Lenders the pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet of the Holding
Companies as of December 31, 2004, prepared giving effect to the Restatement
Transactions as if the Restatement Transactions had occurred on such date. Such
pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good
faith based on assumptions believed by the Holding Companies and the Borrowers
to be reasonable, (ii) is based on the best information available to the Holding
Companies and the Borrowers after due inquiry, (iii) accurately reflects all
adjustments necessary to give effect to the Restatement Transactions and (iv)
presents fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma combined financial
position of the Holding Companies and their consolidated subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2004, as if the Restatement Transactions had occurred on such date.

          (c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above
or the notes thereto and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect
to the Restatement Transactions, none of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or
the Subsidiaries has, as of the Restatement Effective Date, any material
contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

          (d) Since December 31, 2004, there has been no change or effect that
is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the business,
financial condition or results of operations of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. It is understood that the sale
by the Timber Borrower of the Timber Subsidiaries that was consummated on
February 4, 2005, shall not be construed to be materially adverse within the
meaning of the preceding sentence.

          SECTION 3.05. PROPERTIES. (a) Each of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, or other valid and enforceable rights to use, all its real and personal
property material to its

<Page>

                                                                              63

business (including its Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title
that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently
conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

          (b) Each of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries
owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and
other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the
Holding Companies, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the
rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (c) Neither the Timber Borrower nor any Timber Subsidiary owns or
leases any real property.

          (d) Schedule 3.05(d) sets forth the address or legal description of
each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by the BC Borrower or any
BC Subsidiary as of the Restatement Effective Date after giving effect to the
Restatement Transactions, in each case indicating whether such real property is
owned or leased, the record owner of such real property.

          (e) As of the Restatement Effective Date, none of the Holding
Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries has received notice of, or has
knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any
Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.05(e), as of the Restatement Effective Date,
neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right
of first refusal, option to purchase or other contractual right to purchase such
Mortgaged Property or interest therein.

          SECTION 3.06. LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. (a) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Holding Companies or the
Borrowers, threatened against or affecting any of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers or the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility
of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably
be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse
Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan
Documents or the Restatement Transactions.

          (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any
other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Holding Companies,
the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or
other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to
any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with
respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any facts, conditions or
circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental
Liability.

                                                                              64

          (c) Since the Original Effective Date, there has been no change in the
status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has
resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND AGREEMENTS. Each of the Holding
Companies, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or
its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

          SECTION 3.08. INVESTMENT AND HOLDING COMPANY STATUS. None of the
Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment
company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

          SECTION 3.09. TAXES. Each of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and
the Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and
reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes
required to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Holding Company,
Borrower or Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate
reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent annual financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed
the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that, if required
to be paid, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent annual
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of
the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that, if required to be
paid, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.11. DISCLOSURE. The Holding Companies and the Borrowers have
disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports,

<Page>

                                                                              65

financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on
behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered
hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so
furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED that, with
respect to projected financial information, the Holding Companies and the
Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

          SECTION 3.12. SUBSIDIARIES. (a) BC Holdings does not have any
subsidiaries other than the BC Borrower and the BC Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12
sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of, and the direct or
indirect ownership interest of the BC Borrower in, each BC Subsidiary and
identifies each such BC Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case
as of the Restatement Effective Date.

          (b) Timber Holdings does not have any subsidiaries other than the
Timber Borrower, the Timber Subsidiaries and the Timber Installment Note
Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization
of, and the direct or indirect ownership interest of the Timber Borrower in,
each Timber Subsidiary, in each case as of the Restatement Effective Date. Each
Timber Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Loan Party.

          SECTION 3.13. INSURANCE. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all
insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and
the Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date. As of the Restatement
Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have
been paid. The Holding Companies and the Borrowers reasonably believe that the
insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and
the Subsidiaries is adequate.

          SECTION 3.14. LABOR MATTERS. As of the Restatement Effective Date,
there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Holding Company,
Borrower or Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Holding Companies or
the Borrowers, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of
the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except to the extent that
the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any
Holding Company, Borrower or Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made
against any Holding Company, Borrower or Subsidiary, on account of wages and
employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or
accrued as a liability on the books of such Holding Company, Borrower or
Subsidiary. The consummation of the Restatement Transactions will not give rise
to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union
under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Holding Company, Borrower
or Subsidiary is bound.

Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans,

contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of
the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured; (c) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be
able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Loan

otherwise that are required in order for the Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and
perfected security interest in all the Collateral. The Holding Companies and the
Borrowers also agree promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if any material

amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii)
such Holding Company, Borrower or Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (iii) such contest
effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 5.06. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. Each of the Holding Companies
and the Borrowers will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain all
property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and

designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior
notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from
its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with
its officers and (so long as a representative of the Holding Companies or
Borrowers has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to be present at such
discussions) independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often
as reasonably requested; PROVIDED that, unless a Default has occurred and is

Subsidiary is a BC Subsidiary or a Timber Subsidiary and its status, if
applicable, as a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary or a Subsidiary

improvements thereto or any material interest therein, howsoever acquired) are
acquired by any Loan Party after the Original Effective Date (other than assets
constituting Collateral under the Collateral Agreement that become subject to
the Lien of the Collateral Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Holding
Companies and the Borrowers will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders,
the Holding Companies and the Borrowers will cause such assets to be subjected
to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Subsidiary Loan
Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions
described in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan
Parties.

          SECTION 5.14. INTEREST RATE PROTECTION. As promptly as practicable,

will enter into, and thereafter maintain in effect for the periods specified
below, one or more interest rate protection agreements on such terms and with
such parties as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,

the Original Effective Date, at least 30% of the consolidated Long-Term

the interest cost of which is hedged pursuant to such interest rate protection
agreements and (b) for a period of at least one year after the Original
Effective Date, at least an additional 20% of the consolidated Long-Term
Indebtedness of the Borrowers outstanding as of the Original Effective Date (as

     the Administrative Agent to either of the Borrowers (which notice will be
     given at the request of any Lender);

          (f) any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries

     or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or
     both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or
     agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become
     due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance
     thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity or (ii) results in the termination

     cure periods shall have passed and (B) to Indebtedness that becomes due as
     a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of property or assets or as a
     result of the application (other than by reason of a breach or default by a
     Loan Party) of any provision in such Indebtedness that requires any Loan
     Party to prepay a portion (but less than substantially all) of such
     Indebtedness then outstanding or that requires any Loan Party to offer to
     redeem or repurchase some (but less than substantially all) of such

     Material Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets,
     under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
     similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a
     receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official
     for any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or any Material Subsidiary
     or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in

interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
each of the Borrowers; and in case of any event with respect to the BC Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall
automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding,

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints
the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with any of the Holding Companies, the Borrowers or the
Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder.

                                                                              97

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c)
except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers or the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank
serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by a Holding Company, a Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-

                                                                              98

agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor the
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the BC
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor approved by the BC Borrower (which approval (i) shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) shall not be required during the
continuance of an Event of Default). If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any
such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder.

          Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Syndication
Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers do not have any duties or responsibilities in
their capacities as Syndication Agent and Joint Lead Arrangers, respectively,
hereunder and shall not have, or become subject to, any liability hereunder in
such capacities and (ii) the exculpation provisions contained herein relating to
the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to the Syndication Agent
and the Syndication Agent shall receive the full benefit thereof.

<Page>

                                                                             100

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been

Borrower hereunder shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to have
been received by each of the Holding Companies and the Borrowers.

          SECTION 9.02. WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Loan Party in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

          (b) Except as contemplated by Section 9.15, neither this Agreement nor
any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived,
amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties
thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; PROVIDED that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of
any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of
payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the
required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the
payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of
expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written

<Page>

                                                                             101

consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the
percentage set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other
provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
(or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights
thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case
may be), (vi) release any material Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement
(except as expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement), or limit the
applicable Loan Party's liability in respect of any such material Guarantee,
without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially
all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (other than the
releases expressly permitted by the Security Documents), without the written
consent of each Lender, or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in
a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments
due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans
of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class;
PROVIDED FURTHER that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any
waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects
the rights or duties under this Agreement of one Class of Lenders (but not other
Classes) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Holding Companies, the Borrowers and requisite percentage in interest of
the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under
this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder
at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may
be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their
rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline
Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not
consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the
effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes
effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the
principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts
owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.03. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER. (a) The Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for each of the Agents, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for either of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender, in

<Page>

                                                                             102

connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection
with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

          (b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Agent,
each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of
their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Restatement
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by
an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other
property currently or formerly owned or operated by any of the Borrowers or the
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any of the
Borrowers or the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; PROVIDED that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses resulted from (i) the gross negligence, wilful
misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee or (ii) a dispute arising exclusively
between or among the Agents, the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required
to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or Committed
Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender's pro rata
share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount that is owing to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to
such Issuing Bank or the Committed Swingline Lender, as the case by be, such
Revolving Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount that
is owing to such Issuing Bank or the Committed Swingline Lender, as the case may
be; PROVIDED, in each case, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Committed
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes of clause (i) above, a
Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of
the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at
the time. For purposes of clause

<Page>

                                                                             103

(ii) above, a Revolving Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon
its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures and unused Revolving
Commitments at the time.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Holding
Companies, the Borrowers, the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the Restatement Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.

          SECTION 9.04. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i)
neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

          (A) the BC Borrower; PROVIDED that no consent of the BC Borrower shall
     be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an
     Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     any other assignee; and

          (B) the Administrative Agent; PROVIDED that no consent of the
     Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any
     portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
     Fund; and

<Page>

                                                                             104

          (C) each Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that no consent of any Issuing Bank
     shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
     conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
     a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
     amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the
     amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
     such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
     with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
     shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan,
     $1,000,000 unless the BC Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
     consent; PROVIDED that no such consent of the BC Borrower shall be required
     if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement, except that this clause (B) shall not be construed to
     prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
     Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or
     Loans;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assignor or
     assignee; PROVIDED that only one such fee shall be payable in connection
     with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds;
     and

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

          For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has the
following meaning:

          "APPROVED FUND" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed
by, or has as its principal investment advisor, a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender or is the principal investment advisor of a Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and

<Page>

                                                                             105

Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the BC Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and each of the Holding Companies, the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Committed Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "PARTICIPANT") in all
or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
PROVIDED that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Holding Companies,
the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
Documents; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f)

<Page>

                                                                             106

of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the BC
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless
the BC Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the BC Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of either Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          SECTION 9.05. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 9.06. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents

<Page>

                                                                             107

and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 9.07. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If (a) an Event of Default (other than
with respect to clause (a) or (b) of Article VII) shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Loans shall have been declared due and payable by the
Administrative Agent or (b) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to clause (a) or (b) of Article VII, each Lender and
each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of either Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. In
the event that any Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender exercises its rights under
this Section 9.08, such Lender shall promptly thereafter provide to the BC
Borrower notice thereof (it being understood that a Lender's failure to provide

PROCESS. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each of the Holding Companies and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that

                                                                             108

that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against either Holding Company, either Borrower or its properties in

          (c) Each of the Holding Companies and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively
do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in the first sentence of

forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RESTATEMENT
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal

process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder
or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to either of the Borrowers and their
obligations, (g) with the consent of any of the Holding Companies or the
Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than any of the Holding Companies or the Borrowers.
For the purposes of this Section, "INFORMATION" means all information received
from any of the Holding Companies or the Borrowers relating to any of the
Holding Companies or the Borrowers or their business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any of the Holding
Companies or the Borrowers. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information.

          SECTION 9.13. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "CHARGES"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies each of the
Borrowers and the Holding Companies that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)),
(the "ACT"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each of the Borrowers and the Holding Companies, which information
includes the name and address of each of the Borrowers and the Holding Companies
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each of the
Borrowers and the Holding Companies in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.15. SALE OF TIMBER BORROWER. (a) If all of the Equity
Interests of the Timber Borrower are sold in compliance with Section 6.05(c),
then, upon consummation of such sale, the Timber Borrower (and, upon
satisfaction of all payments required to be made hereunder as a result of such
sale, Timber Holdings) shall cease to be parties to this Agreement and shall be
released from their obligations hereunder and, subject to paragraph (b) below,
the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Timber Holdings, the Timber
Borrower and the Timber Subsidiaries shall cease to apply; PROVIDED that the
foregoing shall not be construed to relieve the BC Borrower and the BC
Subsidiaries from their Guarantees under the Collateral Agreement in respect of
any Obligations of the Timber Borrower that would have survived the termination
of this Agreement if Timber Holdings and the Timber Borrower had remained as
parties hereto and such release had not occurred.

          (b) In connection with any such sale of the Equity Interests of the
Timber Borrower, BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
enter into an amendment to (or amendment and restatement of) this Agreement in
order to reflect the elimination of the provisions of this Agreement applicable
to Timber Holdings, the Timber Borrower and the Timber Subsidiaries; PROVIDED
that no such amendment (or amendment and restatement) shall alter or amend in
any material way the covenants set forth in Sections 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14 without
the consent of the Required Lenders (it being understood that any change to the
numerical thresholds set forth in such covenants will be deemed to be material).
The Administrative Agent will furnish a draft of such amendment (or amendment
and restatement) to the Lenders not less than three Business Days prior to
execution and delivery thereof, and will furnish copies thereof to the Lenders
after execution and delivery thereof. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative
Agent to enter into such amendment (or amendment and restatement) and such
amendment (or amendment and restatement) shall be binding on all the parties
hereto and shall not require the consent or approval of any Lender.

          SECTION 9.16. EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. After the
Restatement Effective Date, all obligations of the Borrowers under the Original
Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, secured by
the Security Documents, and the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement
shall be superceded by the provisions hereof.

                                    ARTICLE X

OFFERING

          SECTION 10.01. RELEASE AND AMENDMENT. (a) After the Contemplated IPO
is consummated, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate signed
on behalf of each of the Borrowers by the President, a Vice President or a
Financial Officer thereof to the effect that (i) the Contemplated IPO has been
consummated, (ii) neither Timber Holdings, the Timber Borrower nor any Timber
Subsidiary has any material assets, (iii) neither the BC Borrower nor any of the
BC Subsidiaries owes any Indebtedness to Timber Holdings, the Timber Borrower or
any Timber Subsidiary and (iv) after giving effect to the releases referred to
below, neither Timber Holdings, the

                                                                             111

Timber Borrower nor any Timber Subsidiary shall be liable, pursuant to a
Guarantee or otherwise, for any Indebtedness of the BC Borrower or any BC
Subsidiary, then:

          (A) each of Timber Holdings, the Timber Borrower and the Timber
     Subsidiaries shall be released from its obligations under each Loan
     Document to which it is a party and shall cease to be a party thereto, and
     any Collateral owned by Timber Holdings, the Timber Borrower or any Timber
     Subsidiary shall be released from the Liens granted under the Security
     Documents; and

          (B) this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed amended and restated to
     read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit E, as modified to reflect any
     amendments to this Agreement subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date
     ("SECOND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT").

          (b) The Lenders hereby (i) authorize the Collateral Agent to execute
and deliver any amendments or modifications to the Security Documents that the
Collateral Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the
releases referred to above and (ii) consent to all such amendments or
modifications.

          (c) Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the
certificate described in paragraph (a) of this Section, the Administrative Agent
will notify the Lenders thereof. BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the
Administrative Agent will execute an agreement in the form of Exhibit E, with
the blanks appropriately filled (and modified to reflect any amendments to this
Agreement subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date), and distribute copies
thereof to the Lenders; PROVIDED that the failure to do so shall not affect the
effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of this Agreement as described
above.

thereof.

          SECTION 2.05. LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) GENERAL. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the BC Borrower may request the issuance of Letters
of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time
to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms
and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement
submitted by the BC Borrower to, or entered into by the BC Borrower with, any
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.

          (b) NOTICE OF ISSUANCE, AMENDMENT, RENEWAL, EXTENSION; CERTAIN
CONDITIONS. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the BC Borrower shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to
the relevant Issuing Bank selected by the BC Borrower to issue such Letter of
Credit and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of
Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the
amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the
BC Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing
Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the BC
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed $150,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the
total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) EXPIRATION DATE. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to
the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of
the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), subject to renewal
provisions reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank (which shall in
any event permit such Issuing Bank to disallow renewal) and (ii) the date that
is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

          (d) PARTICIPATIONS. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the

<Page>

                                                                              38

Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the BC Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph
(e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to
the BC Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

          (e) REIMBURSEMENT. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, the BC Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if the BC Borrower shall have received notice of
such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day immediately preceding the date that such LC Disbursement is made or (ii)
otherwise, the Business Day immediately following the later of the date that
such LC Disbursement is made or the date of receipt by the BC Borrower of notice
of such LC Disbursement; PROVIDED that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than
the applicable minimum borrowing amount, the BC Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the BC
Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the BC Borrower
fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the BC Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then
due from the BC Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, MUTATIS
MUTANDIS, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt
by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the BC Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for
any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a
Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
relieve the BC Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

                                                                              39

          (f) OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The BC Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the BC Borrower's obligations hereunder.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of
their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of
or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any
payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any
Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an
Issuing Bank from liability to the BC Borrower to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the BC Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the BC Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on
the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented
which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a
Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are
not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

          (g) DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. The applicable Issuing Bank shall,
promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the BC Borrower by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; PROVIDED that any failure
to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the BC Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect
to any such LC Disbursement.

<Page>

                                                                              40

          (h) INTERIM INTEREST. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the BC Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof
shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC
Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the BC Borrower reimburses
such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans; PROVIDED that, if the BC Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall
apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date
of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.

          (i) REPLACEMENT OR TERMINATION OF AN ISSUING BANK. Any Issuing Bank
may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.
An Issuing Bank's obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written agreement among the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that after giving effect
thereto there is at least one remaining Issuing Bank obligated to issue Letters
of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement or termination of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement
or termination shall become effective, the BC Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, the
successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter. After the replacement or termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder,
the replaced or terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement or termination, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

          (j) ADDITION OF ISSUING BANK. Any Revolving Lender may at any time
become an Issuing Bank hereunder by written agreement between the BC Borrower
and such Revolving Lender, subject to notice to and the consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent. From and after the effective
date of any such Revolving Lender becoming an Issuing Bank, such Revolving
Lender shall have the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement. Any Revolving Lender that becomes an Issuing Bank shall not cease to
be an Issuing Bank hereunder if it later ceases to be a Revolving Lender
hereunder.

          (k) CASH COLLATERALIZATION. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the BC Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater
than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the BC Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name

<Page>

                                                                              41

of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in
cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon; PROVIDED that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately
due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default with respect to the BC Borrower described in clause (h)
or (i) of Article VII. The BC Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b).
Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for
the payment and performance of the obligations of the BC Borrower under this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be
made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the BC
Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in
such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to
the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the BC Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time
or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of
the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the BC
Borrower under this Agreement. If the BC Borrower is required to provide an
amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the BC Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have
been cured or waived.

          (l) CERTAIN NOTICES BY ISSUING BANKS. Each Issuing Bank that is not
the same Person as the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Administrative Agent of (i) the amount and expiration date of each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at or prior to the time of issuance thereof,
(ii) any amendment or modification to any such Letter of Credit at or prior to
the time of such amendment or modification and (iii) any termination, surrender,
cancelation or expiry of any such Letter of Credit at or prior to the time of
such termination, surrender, cancelation or expiration.

          (m) EXISTING LETTERS OF CREDIT. All Existing Letters of Credit shall
be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement as of the Original
Effective Date and thereupon shall constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes
of the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 2.06. FUNDING OF BORROWINGS. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; PROVIDED that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
BC Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the BC Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the BC

<Page>

                                                                              42

Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; PROVIDED that ABR Revolving Loans
made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section
2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing
Bank.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the BC Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the BC Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the BC Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the
BC Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.07. INTEREST ELECTIONS. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
BC Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The BC Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall
not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the BC Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the BC Borrower
were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election
to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the BC
Borrower.

          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

          (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and,
     if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
     thereof, the

<Page>

                                                                              43

     portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
     the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below
     shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

          (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
     Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

          (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
     Eurodollar Borrowing; and

          (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
     term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the BC Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) If the BC Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the BC Borrower, then, so long as
an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.08. TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the
Revolving Maturity Date. The Tranche D Commitments terminated on the First
Restatement Effective Date upon funding of the Tranche D Term Loans.

          (b) The BC Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that (i) each such reduction shall
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000 and (ii) the BC Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving
Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) The BC Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this

<Page>

                                                                              44

Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the BC Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
PROVIDED that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by
the BC Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the BC
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Commitments.

          SECTION 2.09. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The BC
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Tranche D Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10
and (iii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Loan of such Lender on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and
the date that is five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; PROVIDED
that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the BC Borrower shall
repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was
requested.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the BC Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made to the BC Borrower hereunder, the Class
and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of
any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
BC Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; PROVIDED that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the BC Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the BC Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if

<Page>

                                                                              45

requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

          SECTION 2.10. AMORTIZATION OF TERM LOANS. (a) Subject to adjustment
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the BC Borrower shall repay Tranche D
Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount
set forth opposite such date:

          (b) To the extent not previously paid all Tranche D Term Loans shall
be due and payable on the Tranche D Maturity Date.

          (c) Any prepayment of a Tranche D Term Borrowing shall be applied to
reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche D Term Borrowings to
be made pursuant to this Section in the direct chronological order of maturity.
If the initial aggregate amount of the Lenders' Tranche D Commitments exceeds
the aggregate

                                                                              46

principal amount of Tranche D Term Loans made on the First Restatement Effective
Date, then the scheduled repayments of Tranche D Term Borrowings to be made
pursuant to this Section shall be reduced ratably by an aggregate amount equal
to such excess.

          (d) Prior to any repayment of any Tranche D Term Borrowings hereunder,
the BC Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall
notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Tranche D Term
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid
Borrowing. Repayments of Tranche D Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by
accrued interest on the amount repaid.

          SECTION 2.11. PREPAYMENT OF LOANS. (a) The BC Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

          (b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the BC Borrower shall prepay
Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are
outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.05(k)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

          (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or any Subsidiary in
respect of any Prepayment Event, the BC Borrower shall, within three Business
Days after such Net Proceeds are so received, prepay Term Borrowings in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (or, in the case of a
Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of the term
Prepayment Event, 50% of such Net Proceeds); PROVIDED that, in the case of any
event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term Prepayment
Event and subject to Section 6.06, if the BC Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the BC Borrower to
the effect that the BC Borrower or its Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net
Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate),
within 360 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property,
equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the BC Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is
continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net
Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of
any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such
360-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal
to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. In addition, in the event
and on each occasion that the BC Borrower or any Subsidiary shall sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of any asset (whether or not such transaction shall constitute
a Prepayment Event), if the BC Borrower would be required to prepay or redeem,
or to offer to prepay or redeem, any Subordinated Debt or any Senior Unsecured
Debt as a result of such transaction unless the proceeds of such transaction are
applied within a specified period to prepay Term Borrowings (or

<Page>

                                                                              47

otherwise reinvested as permitted in accordance with the terms of such
Subordinated Debt or Senior Unsecured Debt, as applicable), then the BC Borrower
shall (unless such proceeds are otherwise reinvested within the specified period
in a manner that relieves the BC Borrower of any such requirement in respect of
the Subordinated Debt or Senior Unsecured Debt, as applicable) prepay Term
Borrowings within such specified period to the extent necessary to relieve the
BC Borrower of any such requirement.

          (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the BC Borrower,
commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the BC Borrower shall
prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year over (B) the aggregate
principal amount of Term Loans optionally prepaid during the period from and
including March 31 of the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being
calculated to but excluding March 31 of the fiscal year during which such
prepayment is being made (or, if earlier, the date on which such prepayment is
made); PROVIDED that (i) the aggregate prepayment amount required by this
paragraph in respect of a fiscal year shall be calculated based upon 25%
(instead of 50%) of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio
is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0 on the last day of such fiscal year and (ii)
no prepayment shall be required by this paragraph in respect of Excess Cash Flow
for any fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 on
the last day of such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph
shall be made on or before the date on which financial statements are delivered
pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash
Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 90 days after the end of such
fiscal year).

          (e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under
this Section, the BC Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be
prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section.

          (f) The BC Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender) by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; PROVIDED that, if a
notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08,
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such
notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall

                                                                              48

be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing
of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully
the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.13.

          (g) All prepayments of Tranche D Term Loans effected on or prior to
December 31, 2005 with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or
incurrence of new secured credit facilities (excluding a refinancing of all the
facilities outstanding under this Agreement in connection with another
transaction not permitted by this Agreement (as determined prior to giving
effect to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement being adopted in connection
with such transaction) so long as the primary purpose of such transaction is not
to refinance Indebtedness hereunder at an Applicable Rate or similar interest
rate spread more favorable to the BC Borrower), shall be accompanied by a
prepayment fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of such prepayments if the
Applicable Rate or similar interest rate spread applicable to such new term
loans is or, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, could be less than the
Applicable Rate applicable to the Tranche D Term Loans, as the case may be, as
of the date hereof.

          SECTION 2.12. FEES. (a) The BC Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused
amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such
Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Original Effective Date. All commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of
a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving
Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender
shall be disregarded for such purpose).

          (b) The BC Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable
Rate as applicable for purposes of determining the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date
to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at
the rate of 0.25% per annum (or such other rate separately agreed upon between
the BC Borrower and such Issuing Bank) on the average daily amount of the LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
(excluding any portion thereof attributable

<Page>

                                                                              49

to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Original Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of
the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC
Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall
be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Original Effective Date; PROVIDED that all
such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an
Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after
demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (c) The BC Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed to
be payable to the Administrative Agent.

          (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable
Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case
of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.13. INTEREST. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Committed Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Each Uncommitted Swingline Loan shall bear interest at such rate
per annum as shall be separately agreed by the BC Borrower and the relevant
Uncommitted Swingline Lender; PROVIDED that such rate shall not exceed the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the BC Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

                                                                              50

          (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

          (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.14. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
     exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
     the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
     fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their
     Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the BC Borrower and
the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the BC Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.15. INCREASED COSTS. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
     reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

          (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank
     market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
     made by

<Page>

                                                                              51

     such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or
     participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
BC Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

          (b) If any Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such
Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the
policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the BC Borrower agrees to pay to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or
such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or
its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section shall be delivered to the BC Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The BC Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; PROVIDED
that the BC Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the BC Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's
intention to claim compensation therefor; PROVIDED FURTHER that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

          SECTION 2.16. BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d)
the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the BC Borrower pursuant
to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the BC Borrower shall compensate each
Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of
a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined reasonably and in good faith by such Lender to be
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on
the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the
date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period
that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the BC Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The BC Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.17. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the BC Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; PROVIDED that if the BC Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the BC Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the BC Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the BC Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) The BC Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the BC
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or

<Page>

                                                                              53

attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the BC Borrower by a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the BC Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the BC Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the BC
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the BC Borrower (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the BC Borrower as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such
Foreign Lender has received written notice from the BC Borrower advising it of
the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable
documentation.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the BC Borrower or with respect to which the BC
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay
over such refund to the BC Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the BC Borrower under this Section
2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); PROVIDED, that the BC Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the BC Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the BC Borrower or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.18. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF
SET-OFFS. (a) The BC Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement

<Page>

                                                                              54

of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or
otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior
to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York,
except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as
expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15,
2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.

          (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Committed Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans,
Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans
and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Committed Swingline Loans; PROVIDED that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to
apply to any payment made by the BC Borrower pursuant to and in

<Page>

                                                                              55

accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
participant, other than to the BC Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The BC
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the BC Borrower rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the BC Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the BC Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder
that the BC Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the BC Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the BC
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

          (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

          SECTION 2.19. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the BC Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The BC
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

<Page>

                                                                              56

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the
BC Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the BC
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); PROVIDED that (i) the BC Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and,
if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Committed
Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the BC Borrower (in the case of all other amounts)
and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the BC Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

          SECTION 2.20. INCREASE IN REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS. (a) The BC
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly deliver a copy to each of the Revolving Lenders), request that the
total Revolving Commitments be increased (a "REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE");
PROVIDED that the total Revolving Commitments shall not be increased by more
than $25,000,000 during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.
Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the requested increase in the
total Revolving Commitments and the date on which such increase is requested to
become effective and (ii) whether the BC Borrower desires to effect all or any
portion of such increase by offering the Revolving Lenders the opportunity to
ratably increase their Revolving Commitments. If such notice indicates that the
BC Borrower elects to offer Revolving Lenders the opportunity to ratably
increase their Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Revolving Lenders of such offer and the amount of the proposed increase to be
offered ratably to the Revolving Lenders, and each Revolving Lender shall, by
notice to the BC Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10
days after the date of the BC Borrower's notice, either agree to increase its
Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or decline to
increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not
deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Revolving Commitment). Regardless of whether the BC
Borrower's notice elects to offer Revolving Lenders the opportunity to ratably
increase their Revolving Commitments, the BC Borrower may arrange for one or
more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial
institution being called an "AUGMENTING REVOLVING LENDER"), which may include
any Lender, to

<Page>

                                                                              57

extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in
order to effect all or part of the proposed increase in the total Revolving
Commitments; PROVIDED that each Augmenting Revolving Lender, if not already a
Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Bank and the Committed Swingline Lender (such approvals not to be
unreasonably withheld), and the BC Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender
shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a
Revolving Lender hereunder. Any increase in the total Revolving Commitments may
be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the BC
Borrower if the BC Borrower so elects.

          (b) On the effective date (the "REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE
EFFECTIVE DATE") of any Revolving Commitment Increase, if any Revolving Loans
are outstanding, the BC Borrower (i) shall prepay all Revolving Loans then
outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) and (ii) may, at
its option, fund such prepayment by simultaneously borrowing Revolving Loans of
the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request
delivered pursuant to Section 2.03, which Revolving Loans shall be made by the
Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments (calculated after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment
Increase); PROVIDED that such prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this
paragraph shall not be required if such Revolving Commitment Increase is
effected entirely by ratably increasing the Revolving Commitments of the
existing Revolving Lenders. The payments made pursuant to clause (i) above in
respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to Section 2.16.

          (c) Increases and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this
Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice
delivered by the BC Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a)
above; PROVIDED that the BC Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), extend such date by up to
30 days by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent no less than
three Business Days prior to the date specified in the notice delivered by the
BC Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the total Revolving
Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender) or addition
of an Augmenting Revolving Lender shall become effective under this Section
unless (i) on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date, the conditions
set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such
date and executed by a Financial Officer of the BC Borrower, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the
Lenders) (A) documents consistent with those delivered on the First Restatement
Effective Date under clauses (b) and (c) of Section 7 of the Amendment and
Restatement Agreement and (B) to the extent requested by the Administrative
Agent, documents consistent with those delivered on the First Restatement
Effective Date under clauses (f)(ii)(A) and (B) of Section 7 of the Amendment
and Restatement Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Each of BC Holdings and the BC Borrower represents and warrants to the
Lenders that:

          SECTION 3.01. ORGANIZATION; POWERS. Each of BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to
do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required.

          SECTION 3.02. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABILITY. The First Restatement
Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party's
corporate or limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate or limited liability company and, if required,
stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
of BC Holdings and the BC Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document
to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such
Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

          SECTION 3.03. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; NO CONFLICTS. The First
Restatement Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority,
except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and
except filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b)
will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or
other organizational documents of any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or the
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or
result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries or its assets, or
give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any of BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any of BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower or the Subsidiaries, except Liens created under the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 3.04. FINANCIAL CONDITION; NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. (a) BC
Holdings and the BC Borrower have heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i)
consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of each of (x) the Acquired Businesses,

Operating

                                                                              59

Businesses, taken as a whole, in each case as of and for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2003, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants and
(ii) the audited consolidated and unaudited consolidating balance sheet and
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of each of
(x) the Holding Companies and their consolidated subsidiaries (combined), (y)
the BC Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries and (z) the Timber Borrower
and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as of December 31, 2004, and for
the periods January 1, 2004, through October 28, 2004, and October 29, 2004,
through December 31, 2004, reported on (in the case of such audited statements)
by KPMG LLP. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of (A) in the
case of the financial statements referred to in clause (i) above, the Acquired
Businesses, the Timberland Assets and the Operating Businesses and (B) in the
case of the financial statements referred to in clause (ii) above, the Persons
referred to therein, in each case as of such dates and for such periods, in
accordance with GAAP.

          (b) The Holding Companies, the BC Borrower and the Timber Borrower
have heretofore furnished to the Lenders the pro forma combined consolidated
balance sheet of the Holding Companies as of December 31, 2004, prepared giving
effect to the First Restatement Transactions as if the First Restatement
Transactions had occurred on such date. Such pro forma combined consolidated
balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed
by the Holding Companies, the BC Borrower and the Timber Borrower to be
reasonable, (ii) is based on the best information available to the Holding
Companies, the BC Borrower and the Timber Borrower after due inquiry, (iii)
accurately reflects all adjustments necessary to give effect to the First
Restatement Transactions and (iv) presents fairly, in all material respects, the
pro forma financial position of the Holding Companies and their consolidated
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, as if the First Restatement Transactions
had occurred on such date.

          (c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above
or the notes thereto and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect
to the First Restatement Transactions, none of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or
the Subsidiaries has, as of the First Restatement Effective Date, any material
contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

          (d) Since December 31, 2004, there has been no change or effect that
is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the business,
financial condition or results of operations of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and
the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          SECTION 3.05. PROPERTIES. (a) Each of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and
the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or other
valid and enforceable rights to use, all its real and personal property material
to its business (including its Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects
in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as
currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

                                                                              60

          (b) Each of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or
is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights
of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (c) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (d) Schedule 3.05(d) sets forth the address or legal description of
each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by the BC Borrower or any
Subsidiary as of the First Restatement Effective Date after giving effect to the
First Restatement Transactions, in each case indicating whether such real
property is owned or leased, the record owner of such real property.

          (e) As of the First Restatement Effective Date, none of BC Holdings,
the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries has received notice of, or has knowledge of,
any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged
Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.05(e), as of the First Restatement Effective Date,
neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right
of first refusal, option to purchase or other contractual right to purchase such
Mortgaged Property or interest therein.

          SECTION 3.06. LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. (a) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of BC Holdings or the BC
Borrower, threatened against or affecting any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or
the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other
than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or
the First Restatement Transactions.

          (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any
other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower or the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law
or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any
Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with
respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any facts, conditions or
circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental
Liability.

          (c) Since the Original Effective Date, there has been no change in the
status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has
resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse
Effect.

                                                                              61

          SECTION 3.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND AGREEMENTS. Each of BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or
its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

          SECTION 3.08. INVESTMENT AND HOLDING COMPANY STATUS. None of BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as
defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940
or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

          SECTION 3.09. TAXES. Each of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the
Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports
required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required
to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or
such BS Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves
or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date
of the most recent annual financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed
the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that, if required
to be paid, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent annual
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of
the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that, if required to be
paid, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.11. DISCLOSURE. BC Holdings and the BC Borrower have
disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries is
subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other
information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or
supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of

                                                                              62

fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; PROVIDED that, with respect to projected financial information, BC
Holdings and the BC Borrower represent only that such information was prepared
in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

          SECTION 3.12. SUBSIDIARIES. BC Holdings does not have any subsidiaries
other than the BC Borrower and the Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the
name and jurisdiction of organization of, and the direct or indirect ownership
interest of the BC Borrower in, each Subsidiary and identifies each such
Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the First
Restatement Effective Date.

          SECTION 3.13. INSURANCE. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all
insurance maintained by or on behalf of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the
Subsidiaries as of the First Restatement Effective Date. As of the First
Restatement Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such
insurance have been paid. BC Holdings and the BC Borrower reasonably believe
that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower
and the Subsidiaries is adequate.

          SECTION 3.14. LABOR MATTERS. As of the First Restatement Effective
Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of BC Holdings or the BC
Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or
foreign law dealing with such matters, except to the extent that the failure to
do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against BC
Holdings, the BC Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee
health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or any Subsidiary, as
applicable. The consummation of the First Restatement Transactions will not give
rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any
union under any collective bargaining agreement to which BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

          SECTION 3.15. SOLVENCY. Immediately after the consummation of the
First Restatement Transactions to occur on the First Restatement Effective Date
and immediately following the making of each Loan made on the First Restatement
Effective Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of
such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, taken as a
whole, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of
the property of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be greater than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and
other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Loan Parties, taken as a
whole, will be able to pay

                                                                              63

their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Loan Parties,
taken as a whole, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is
proposed to be conducted following the First Restatement Effective Date.

          SECTION 3.16. SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. The Obligations constitute "Senior
Indebtedness" under and as defined in the Subordinated Debt Documents.

          SECTION 3.17. SECURITY INTERESTS. The representations and warranties
in the Security Documents are true and correct.

          SECTION 4.02. EACH CREDIT EVENT. The obligation of each Lender to make
a Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing (it being understood that the
continuation or conversion of a Borrowing does not constitute the making of a
Loan for purposes of this Section 4.02), and of each Issuing Bank to issue,
amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, is subject to receipt of the
request therefor in accordance herewith and to the satisfaction of the following
conditions:

          (a) The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in
the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (except representations and
warranties not qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties
shall be true and correct in all material respects) on and as of the date of
such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such
Letter of Credit, as applicable (except, to the extent such representations or
warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier
date).

          (b) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to such
Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of
Credit, as applicable, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of
Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by BC
Holdings and the BC Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.

                                    ARTICLE V

Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any
change (a) in any Loan Party's legal name or in any trade name used to identify
it in the conduct of its business or in the ownership of its properties, (b) in
the case of any Loan Party that is not a "registered organization" (as defined
in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in
the State of New York), in the location of such Loan Party's chief executive
office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books

change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made
(or have been prepared and delivered to the Administrative Agent for filing)
under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for
the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to continue at all times following
such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the
Collateral. BC Holdings and the BC Borrower also agree promptly to notify the
Administrative Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or
destroyed.

          SECTION 5.04. EXISTENCE; CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Each of BC Holdings and
the BC Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, do or cause to

being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) BC Holdings, the
BC Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (iii) such contest effectively
suspends collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement of any Lien
securing such obligation, or (b) except for Tax liabilities, where the failure
to make payment (individually or in the aggregate) could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Loan Parties. BC Holdings and the BC Borrower also agree to provide to the
Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of

years after the Original Effective Date, at least 30% of the consolidated
Long-Term Indebtedness of the BC Borrower outstanding as of the Original
Effective Date (as reduced at or before the date that such interest protection

rate protection agreements and (b) for a period of at least one year after the
Original Effective Date, at least an additional 20% of the consolidated
Long-Term Indebtedness of the BC Borrower outstanding as of the Original

     failure to maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes
     or other instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Agreement, (iii)
     as a result of the Collateral Agent's failure to file or record any UCC

thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may,
and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the BC Borrower,
take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times:
(i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate
immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable
in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and
payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the
principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the BC Borrower accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by

described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall
automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the
BC Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Administrative

                                                                              86

Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or the
Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder.

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c)
except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or the
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the BC Borrower), independent

                                                                              87

accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor the
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the BC
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor approved by the BC Borrower (which approval (i) shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) shall not be required during the
continuance of an Event of Default). If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any
such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the BC Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the BC Borrower and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder.

          Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Syndication
Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers do not have any duties or responsibilities in
their capacities

                                                                              88

as Syndication Agent and Joint Lead Arrangers, respectively, hereunder and shall
not have, or become subject to, any liability hereunder in such capacities and
(ii) the exculpation provisions contained herein relating to the Administrative
Agent shall be equally applicable to the Syndication Agent and the Syndication
Agent shall receive the full benefit thereof.

the Administrative Agent; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not apply to notices
pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and
the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the BC Borrower may, in their

Borrower hereunder shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to have

          SECTION 9.02. WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Loan Party in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce
such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by BC Holdings, the BC Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the
case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan
Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required
Lenders; PROVIDED that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of
any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive
the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any
Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan
under Section 2.10, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC
Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable
hereunder, or reduce or forgive the amount of,

<Page>

                                                                              90

waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each
Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set
forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision of any Loan
Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any
Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release any
material Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided
in the Collateral Agreement), or limit the applicable Loan Party's liability in
respect of any such material Guarantee, without the written consent of each
Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens
of the Security Documents (other than the releases expressly permitted by the
Security Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii)
change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms
adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans
of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without
the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding
Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class; PROVIDED FURTHER that (A)
no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or
modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties
under this Agreement of one Class of Lenders (but not other Classes) may be
effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by BC Holdings,
the BC Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of
Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such
Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by
an agreement in writing entered into by BC Holdings, the BC Borrower, the
Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or
obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if
(i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting
to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of
such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each
Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and
interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or
accrued for its account under this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.03. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVERU (a) The BC Borrower
agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents
and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for each of the Agents, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for

<Page>

                                                                              91

payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for either of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or
in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

          (b) The BC Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank
and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an "INDEMNITEE") against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the First Restatement Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or
formerly owned or operated by any of the BC Borrower or the Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to any of the BC Borrower or the
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
PROVIDED that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
resulted from (i) the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith of such
Indemnitee or (ii) a dispute arising exclusively between or among the Agents,
the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks.

          (c) To the extent that the BC Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or
Committed Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender's pro
rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount that is owing to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to
such Issuing Bank or the Committed Swingline Lender, as the case by be, such
Revolving Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount that
is owing to such Issuing Bank or the Committed Swingline Lender, as the case may
be; PROVIDED, in each case, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Committed
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes of clause (i) above, a
Lender's "pro rata share" shall

<Page>

                                                                              92

be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures,
outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time. For purposes of
clause (ii) above, a Revolving Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined
based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures and unused
Revolving Commitments at the time.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of BC Holdings,
the BC Borrower, the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall assert, and
each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the First
Restatement Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after
written demand therefor.

          SECTION 9.04. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i)
the BC Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the BC Borrower without such consent shall
be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

          (A) the BC Borrower; PROVIDED that no consent of the BC Borrower shall
     be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an
     Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     any other assignee; and

          (B) the Administrative Agent; PROVIDED that no consent of the
     Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any
     portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
     Fund; and

<Page>

                                                                              93

          (C) each Issuing Bank; PROVIDED that no consent of any Issuing Bank
     shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
     conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
     a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
     amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the
     amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
     such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
     with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
     shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan,
     $1,000,000 unless the BC Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
     consent; PROVIDED that no such consent of the BC Borrower shall be required
     if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement, except that this clause (B) shall not be construed to
     prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
     Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or
     Loans;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assignor or
     assignee; PROVIDED that only one such fee shall be payable in connection
     with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds;
     and

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

          For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has the
following meaning:

          "APPROVED FUND" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed
by, or has as its principal investment advisor, a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender or is the principal investment advisor of a Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and

<Page>

                                                                              94

Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the BC Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and each of BC Holdings, the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the BC Borrower, any
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the BC Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Committed Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "PARTICIPANT") in all
or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
PROVIDED that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) BC Holdings, the BC
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
Documents; PROVIDED that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this

<Page>

                                                                              95

Section, the BC Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the BC
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless
the BC Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the BC Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the BC Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          SECTION 9.05. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 9.06. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents

                                                                              96

and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 9.07. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If (a) an Event of Default (other than
with respect to clause (a) or (b) of Article VII) shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Loans shall have been declared due and payable by the
Administrative Agent or (b) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to clause (a) or (b) of Article VII, each Lender and
each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of the BC Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the BC Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made
any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.
In the event that any Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender exercises its rights
under this Section 9.08, such Lender shall promptly thereafter provide to the BC
Borrower notice thereof (it being understood that a Lender's failure to provide
such notice shall not affect its rights under this Section 9.08). The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

          SECTION 9.09. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each of BC Holdings and the BC Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that the

                                                                              97

Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against BC Holdings, the BC Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          (c) Each of BC Holdings and the BC Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in any court referred to in the first sentence of
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FIRST RESTATEMENT
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          SECTION 9.11. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or

any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or

the consent of BC Holdings or the BC Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than BC
Holdings or the BC Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "INFORMATION"
means all information received from BC Holdings or the BC Borrower relating to
BC Holdings or the BC Borrower or their business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by BC Holdings or the
BC Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

          SECTION 9.13. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the BC
Borrower and BC Holdings that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), (the
"Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
the BC Borrower and BC Holdings, which information includes the name and address
of the BC Borrower and BC Holdings and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the BC Borrower and BC Holdings in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.15. FIRST RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT; EFFECTIVENESS OF SECOND
RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT. After the Second Restatement Effective Date, all

obligations of the BC Borrower hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and

provisions hereof.
