          3.1. VESTING OF SHARES. On and after the date hereof, the terms of any
repurchase of any Shares shall differ depending on whether such Shares are
"Unvested Shares" or "Vested Shares". Initially, 25% of the Shares shall be

Shares shall become "Vested Shares", such that all of the Shares shall be Vested
Shares as of and after September 24, 2007 if the Termination of Employment does
not occur prior to such date. If a Target Disposition Event or a Public Sale
occurs prior to a Termination of Employment (the first such event or sale, a
"Vesting Acceleration Event"), (a) 50% of the then Unvested Shares shall become
Vested Shares upon the occurrence of such Vesting Acceleration Event (the
Unvested Shares that become vested upon the occurrence of such Vesting
Acceleration Event shall consist of the Unvested Shares that were scheduled to
vest first chronologically following such Vested Acceleration Event) and (b) the
remaining 50% of the then Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares on the
earlier of (i) the date that such Unvested Shares are scheduled to vest under
this Agreement and (ii) the first anniversary date of the occurrence of such
Vesting Acceleration Event (such earlier date, the "Final Vesting Date"),
provided that a Termination of Employment has not occurred for Cause or by
resignation on or prior to the Final Vesting Date. Except pursuant to clause (b)
of the immediately preceding sentence, no Shares which have not already become
Vested Shares shall become Vested Shares upon or after the Termination of
Employment for any reason.

          3.2. REPURCHASE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY.

          (a) Termination of Employment. Upon the Termination of Employment at
any time and for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from
the Stockholder, and the Stockholder will at the request of the Company sell to
the Company all (but not less than all) of the Shares then owned by the
Stockholder (the "Called Shares") at a purchase price per Share determined
pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) below:

               (i) in the event that such Termination of Employment is a result
          of the Stockholder's resignation (other than for Good Reason) prior to
          the third anniversary of the date hereof, at a purchase price per
          Share equal to the Original Price Per Share plus interest on such
          amount from the date hereof to the date of repurchase at the rate of
          5% per annum; and

               (ii) otherwise, (A) at a purchase price per Vested Share equal to
          the Market Value Per Share and (B) at a purchase price per Unvested

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

          Share equal to the Original Price Per Share plus interest on such
          amount from the date hereof to the date of repurchase at the rate of
          5% per annum.

          (b) Repurchase Closing. The Company's repurchase rights under this
Section 3.2 shall be exercisable at any time within ninety (90) days following
the Termination of Employment by written notice to the Stockholder (the
"Repurchase Notice"). The closing of the repurchase of the Called Shares shall
be held (a) not earlier than five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days after
delivery of the Repurchase Notice if such Termination of Employment is the
result of the Stockholder's resignation (other than for Good Reason) prior to
the third anniversary of the date hereof or (b) otherwise, not earlier than five
(5) days nor later than thirty (30) days after determination of the Common
Equity Value pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof. The Company's repurchase rights
under this Section 3.2 shall lapse if not exercised within the time periods (if
any) specified above in accordance with the provisions hereof, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof. Amounts due from the Company to the
Stockholder under this Section 3.2 shall be set off in payment of any amounts
payable from the Stockholder to the Company under the Note. Upon delivery by the
Company of the repurchase price for the Called Shares in accordance with Section
8 hereof, all of the Called Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding,
all of the Stockholder's rights with respect to the Called Shares shall
terminate with the exception of the right of the Stockholder to receive the
repurchase price in exchange therefor pursuant to this Section 3.2, and the
Stockholder hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to take all
actions necessary and sign all documents required to cancel such Shares on its
books and records.

          3.3. PUT RIGHTS OF THE STOCKHOLDER.

          (a) Termination of Employment. Upon the Termination of Employment at
any time and for any reason, other than by the Company for Cause at any time or
as a result of the voluntary resignation of the Stockholder (other than for Good
Reason) (an "Eligible Termination"), the Stockholder shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase from the Stockholder, and the Company will, at
the request of the Stockholder, repurchase from the Stockholder, all (but not
less than all) of the Shares then owned by the Stockholder (the "Put Shares") at
a purchase price per Share determined pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) below:

               (i) at a purchase price per Vested Share equal to the Market
          Value Per Share; and

               (ii) at a purchase price per Unvested Share equal to the Original
          Price Per Share plus interest on such amount from the date hereof to
          the date of repurchase at the rate of 5% per annum.

          (b) Put Closing. The Stockholder's put rights under this Section 3.3
shall be exercisable at any time within ninety (90) days following the date of
the Eligible Termination by delivery of written notice (the "Put Notice") to the
Company. Except as provided in Section 7.2 hereof, the closing of the repurchase
of the Put Shares shall, at the option of the Company, be held not earlier than
five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days after the determination of the

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

Common Equity Value pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof. The Stockholder's put rights
under this Section 3.3 shall lapse if not exercised within the time period
specified above and in accordance with the provisions hereof, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof. Amounts due from the Company to the
Stockholder under this Section 3.3 shall be set off in payment of any amounts
payable from the Stockholder to the Company under the Note. Upon delivery by the
Company of the repurchase price for the Put Shares in accordance with Section 8
hereof, all of the Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, all of
the Stockholder's rights with respect to the Put Shares shall terminate with the
exception of the right of the Stockholder to receive the repurchase price in
exchange therefor pursuant to this Section 3.3, and the Stockholder hereby
appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to take all actions necessary and
sign all documents required to cancel the Put Shares on its books and records.

          3.4. APPRAISAL. Within fifteen (15) days following his receipt of a
Repurchase Notice from the Company in respect of a repurchase of the Shares
pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) hereof, or simultaneously with his delivery of a
Put Notice, as applicable, the Stockholder shall select three (3) Independent
Appraisers that the Stockholder purposes to determine the Common Equity Value
for purposes of this Agreement and shall notify the Company in writing of such
selection (the "Stockholder Appraiser Notice"). The Independent Appraisers
listed in the Stockholder Appraiser Notice shall be identical to the Independent
Appraisers list in any "Stockholder Appraiser Notice" delivered pursuant to the
Stock Repurchase Agreement. The Company shall select one (1) of the Independent
Appraisers listed in the Stockholder Appraiser Notice and use reasonable
commercial efforts to promptly engage, at the cost and expense of the Company,
such Independent Appraiser to determine the Common Equity Value for purposes of
this Agreement. The terms of such engagement shall provide that the Independent
Appraiser shall complete its determination of the Common Equity Value within 45
days of engagement by the Company and that in determining the Common Equity
Value, the Independent Appraiser must take into account consideration of the
assumptions and methodology used by the Company and other investors in
determining the valuation at which the Stockholder purchased the Purchased
Shares. The Company shall not be required to select any Independent Appraiser
from a Stockholder Appraiser Notice unless the Stockholder Appraiser Notice
includes three (3) Independent Appraisers. If the Stockholder has not provided a
Stockholder Appraiser Notice which materially complies with the requirements of
this Section 3.4 within thirty (30) days following the Stockholder's receipt of
the Repurchase Notice or within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Put Notice,
as applicable, the Board shall in good faith select an Independent Appraiser to
determine the Common Equity Value. Any determination of the Common Equity Value
by an Independent Appraiser pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon the parties. The Company shall cooperate with the
Independent Appraiser to the extent necessary to facilitate the determination of
the Common Equity Value.

          4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The Stockholder may not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of ("Transfer") any of the Unvested
Shares, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, except to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in the Stockholder Agreement, the Stockholder may not Transfer any of the Vested
Shares, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, except to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. On and after the time the

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

Company completes a Public Sale, all of the restrictions on Transfer and the
repurchase rights of the Company contained herein (including, without
limitation, the repurchase rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof),
shall cease to apply to any Shares that constitute Vested Shares at such time
and to any Shares that become Vested Shares after such time pursuant to the
terms hereof. On and after the completion of a Target Disposition Event, all of
the repurchase rights of the Company contained herein (including, without
limitation, the repurchase rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof),

violation of the terms of the Note. Upon any permitted Transfer of the Shares,
the transferee of the Shares shall execute and deliver to the Company an
agreement containing repurchase provisions substantially the same as those
contained herein.

          5. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. (a) The Stockholder represents that the
Shares are being acquired by him for his own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution thereof. The Stockholder understands that the Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), on the grounds that the offer and sale of the Shares to him are exempt
from the registration requirements of the Act under Section 4(2) thereof as a
transaction not involving any public offering of the Shares. The Stockholder
understands that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated in part
on the representations of the Stockholder which are contained herein.

          (b) The Stockholder understands that he must bear the economic risk of
his investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares
have not been registered under the Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless
they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. The Stockholder agrees that he will not offer to
Transfer any of the Shares except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and
then only after the Company has received an opinion of its counsel that such
offer or Transfer is not in violation of the registration requirements of the
Act or other applicable law.

          (c) The Stockholder represents that he is an "accredited investor" (as
defined in Rule 501 under the Act) and a resident of the State of Minnesota.

          6. LEGENDS; STOP TRANSFER. (a) Each certificate representing the
Shares shall bear legends in or substantially in the following form:

          "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED

          ACT, OR THE COMPANY HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
          SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

such Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company only if and when
transferred or sold in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

the Shares in cash, (a) the Company shall be entitled to complete the repurchase
of such Shares by delivering to the Stockholder (or any permitted transferee
thereof) a promissory note for the portion of the repurchase price, payment of
which is prohibited to be made immediately, and (b) the Company will use
reasonable efforts (including using reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary
consents from the Company's and/or its Subsidiaries' Lenders) to pay the
repurchase price as soon as permitted under such Senior Debt Documents or by
waiver thereof following the repurchase. Each such promissory note shall (i)
bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum for the first year of
such note, seven and one half percent (7.5%) per annum for the second year of
such note and ten percent (10%) per annum for each year of such note thereafter
until paid in full, (ii) provide for the payment of the principal evidenced
thereby in such installments and at such times as are permitted by the Company's
and its Subsidiaries' Lenders, (iii) be subordinated only to Senior Debt of the
Company and its Subsidiaries provided by their Lenders under the Senior Debt
Documents (including all interest, penalties, fees or other charges under the
Senior Debt Documents governing such Senior Debt from time to time) (the "Lender
Indebtedness") on terms satisfactory to such Lenders and (iv) subject to such
payment and subordination provisions, provide for the payment in full of the
principal and unpaid interest evidenced thereby upon the earlier to occur of:
(x) repayment in full of all of the Lender Indebtedness and (y) a Disposition
Event.

          7.2. IMPAIRMENT OF CAPITAL. If, even after giving effect to the
provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, the Company is prohibited by the terms of any
of the Senior Debt Documents from issuing a promissory note for the balance of
the repurchase price as contemplated by Section 7.1 or is prohibited by law from
repurchasing any of the Shares which it is obligated to repurchase hereunder due
to any existing or prospective impairment of its capital, the closing of

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

such repurchase shall be delayed until the first date on which the Company is
permitted by the terms of any such Senior Debt Documents to repurchase such
Shares and has sufficient capital to lawfully repurchase such Shares (the
"Delayed Closing Date"). Where practicable, the Company will continue to use all
reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents or waivers from the
Company's or its Subsidiaries' Lenders to permit the closing to occur in
accordance with Section 7.1. In the event of any such delay, (i) the Company
will be obligated to pay, on the Delayed Closing Date, interest on the
repurchase price for such Shares (x) at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum
for the first year from the date on which the closing of the repurchase of such
Shares was originally scheduled to occur to the Delayed Closing Date, (y) at a
rate of seven and one half percent (7.5%) per annum for the second year from the
date on which the closing of the repurchase of such Shares was originally
scheduled to occur to the Delayed Closing Date and (z) at a rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum thereafter until the Delayed Closing Date and (ii) the
Stockholder shall remain bound by the restrictions on Transfer contained herein
during such delay; provided, that the Company shall not be required to issue a
promissory note to evidence its payment obligation to the extent such issuance
is prohibited by the terms of such Senior Debt Documents. If the Company issues
to the Stockholder a promissory note in connection with the closing of the
repurchase of the Shares on the Delayed Closing Date, the initial interest rate
for such promissory note will be determined as if such promissory note was
issued on the date interest began accruing on the repurchase price for the
Shares under this Section 7.2.

          8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. At any closing held to consummate any
repurchase of the Shares hereunder, the Stockholder shall deliver to the Company
the stock certificates representing such Shares, duly endorsed in blank or with
duly executed stock powers attached, and the Company shall (i) offset the
repurchase price for such Shares against any amounts owed by the Stockholder to
the Company under the Note and (ii) make payment to the Stockholder by wire
transfer or other form of immediately available funds of any remaining balance
of the repurchase price or a promissory note as provided in Section 7.1.

          9. ADJUSTMENT OF REPURCHASE PRICE. Upon any stock split, reverse stock
split, recombination of shares or other similar reorganization of the capital
structure of the Company, the repurchase price otherwise payable to the
Stockholder upon the repurchase of any Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall
be proportionally adjusted to reflect such reorganization.

wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date of the Borrowing, to the account of the Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to
the Conduit Lenders or the Bank Lenders. The Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower
by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like currency and funds, to one or more accounts
of the Borrower maintained in New York City and designated by Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank Lender shall not be obligated to make a Loan under
this Section 2.02 in an amount which would exceed such Bank Lender’s Bank Commitment less such
Bank Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Loans held by its related Conduit Lender.
Each Bank Lender’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank Lender to make
available to the Borrower any funds in connection with the Borrowing shall not relieve any other
Bank Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of the
Borrowing, but no Bank Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank Lender to
make funds available in connection with the Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.03. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally agrees to repay to the Agent for account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
full principal amount of the Loan. Amounts repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

11

 

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the 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 Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan
and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any
sum received by the Agent hereunder for 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 2.03 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request a promissory note from the Borrower evidencing its Loan. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Agent, in a principal amount
equal to the amount of such Loan and dated the date thereof. Thereafter, the Loan evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment) be
represented by a promissory note in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered
assigns.

          SECTION 2.04. Prepayment of Loans(i). (a) The Borrower may, at its option and
without penalty, upon thirty days prior written notice to the Agent, prepay the Loans in whole or
in part (any such prepayment, an “Optional Prepayment”); provided that (i) the
loans under the Timber Borrower Term Loan Agreement are also optionally prepaid in full or (ii)
prior to such date TIN Timber Finance, LLC shall have executed an intercreditor agreement with
respect to the purchase notes held by it for the benefit of the Agent, such agreement to be in form
and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Each Optional Prepayment in part shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $25,000,000 and incremental multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

          (b) If at any time the Borrower receives any payment or prepayment of principal of any of the
Purchase Notes (whether directly or as a result of a draw under any Purchase Letter of Credit or
otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than the close of business on the
Business Day immediately following the underlying payment or prepayment) prepay the Loan in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such payment or prepayment and pending
such prepayment of the Loan shall hold such amounts in cash and Cash Equivalents maturing on or
before the date such prepayment of the Loan is to be made.

          (c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Borrower shall promptly prepay in full
the Loans then outstanding, together with all accrued interest thereon and all fees and other
amounts then owing by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

          (d) Prepayments under this Section shall be applied ratably to the Loan in accordance with
the respective principal amounts thereof and shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest
(including, without limitation, the Borrower Accrued Interest Amount) and (ii) any and all payments
required by Section 2.09 and Section 10.04 hereof.

          (e) The Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than the close of business on the
Business Day immediately following the date the underlying prepayment was received in the case of a

12

 

mandatory prepayment) notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
under this Section. Each such notice shall specify (i) the prepayment date, (ii) the principal
amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (iii) the circumstances giving rise to such prepayment and (iv) a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Notice of such prepayment shall
be irrevocable. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders
of the contents thereof.

          SECTION 2.05. Interest, Payments and Computations, Etc.

          (a) Interest Amounts.

     (i) Loans. Interest shall accrue on the Loans for each Interest
Period as follows:

     (A) To the extent a Lender’s Percentage Interest of Loans is funded

Margin.

     (B) To the extent a Lender’s Percentage Interest of Loans is not funded
through the issuance of Promissory Notes, such Lender’s Percentage Interest
of Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 

     (ii) Interest Deficit Amount. Interest shall accrue on the Interest
Deficit Amount for each Interest Period as follows:

     (A) To the extent such Interest Deficit Amount is funded through the
issuance of Promissory Notes, such portion shall bear interest at a rate per

Period plus the Applicable Margin.

     (B) To the extent such Interest Deficit Amount is not funded through
the issuance of Promissory Notes, such portion shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin. 

     (iii) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) and
(ii), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
whatsoever payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration, by prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall
bear interest, after as well as before judgment, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, for any Default Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus 2.0% per annum from and
including the due date thereof but excluding the date such amount is actually paid.

          (b) Interest Payments.

     (i) Settlement Dates. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the
Agent’s Account for the benefit of the Lenders on each Settlement Date interest in
an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Available Interest Amount for such
Settlement Date and (y) the Borrower Accrued Interest Amount for such Settlement
Date.

13

 

     (ii) Maturity Date. If on the Maturity Date the Interest Deficit
Amount for such Settlement Date is greater than zero, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lenders on the Maturity Date an amount equal to such Interest Deficit Amount.

     (iii) Defaulted Interest. Interest accrued pursuant to clause
(a)(iii) of this Section shall be payable on demand.

     (iv) Definitions. As used in this clause (b):

     “Available Interest Amount” means, for any Settlement Date, the
aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents credited to the Collection
Account on such Settlement Date.

     “Borrower Accrued Interest Amount” means, for any date (a
“Determination Date”), the following:

     (w) the aggregate amount of the interest accrued on the Loans as
specified in Section 2.05(a)(i) from and including the immediately preceding
Settlement Date (or, if no Settlement Date has occurred prior to such
Determination Date, the date of the Borrowing) to but excluding such
Determination Date; plus

     (x) the Interest Deficit Amount for the immediately preceding
Settlement Date (or, if no Settlement Date has occurred prior to such
Determination Date, the amount pursuant to this clause (x) is zero); plus

     (y) the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Interest Deficit
Amount for the immediately preceding Settlement Date as specified in Section
2.05(a)(ii) for the period from and including such immediately preceding

pursuant to this clause (y) is zero); minus

     (z) accrued interest amounts (if any) prepaid pursuant to Section

          (c) Timing. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be
paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day
funds to the Agent’s Account, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.
The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document shall be made in Dollars.

          (d) Computation. All computations of interest, fees, and other amounts hereunder shall
be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but
excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due
on a day other

14

 

than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

          SECTION 2.06. Increased Costs. (a) If CNAI, any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that a Change in Law affects
or would affect the amount of the capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected
Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of its Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make its Loan) or interests
therein related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof and other commitments of the same type,
then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall
immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party
beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient
to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such
Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of
any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent
by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
2.06 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor (except 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).

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.07) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall
be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the
Loan in respect of which interest is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, upon
demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent,
for the account of such Lender (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by
such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.07. Additional Interest on Loans Bearing a Eurodollar Rate. The Borrower
shall pay to any Bank Lender, so long as such Bank Lender shall be required under regulations of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on
the Loans of such Lender during each Interest Period in respect of which interest is computed by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate, for such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal at all times
during such Interest Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for
such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate referred to in
clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of
such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable. Such
additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notice thereof given to the Borrower
through the Agent within 30 days after any interest payment is made with respect to which such
additional interest is requested. A certificate as to such additional interest submitted to the
Borrower and the Agent by such Bank Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

15

 

          SECTION 2.08. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding Excluded Taxes (all
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities other than Excluded Taxes being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, (i) the Borrower
shall make an additional payment to such Affected Person, in an amount sufficient so that, after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.08), such Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any such payment of Taxes, the
Borrower will furnish to such Affected Person the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

          (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of Taxes or Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Affected Person and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made
within thirty days from the date the Affected Person makes written demand therefor (and a copy of
such demand shall be delivered to the Agent). A certificate as to the amount of such
indemnification submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Affected Person, setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

          (d) Each Affected Person which is organized outside the United States and which is entitled
to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under the laws of the United States as in
effect on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person which becomes an Affected Person after
the date hereof, on the date on which it so becomes an Affected Person with respect to any
payments under this Agreement) shall, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any
Person who becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on or prior to the date on which it
so becomes an Affected Person), deliver to the Borrower such certificates, documents or other
evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or Treasury Regulations
issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any
other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(a) or
Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by
such Affected Person as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate. Each such Affected Person shall from time to time thereafter, upon written request from the
Borrower, deliver to the Borrower any new certificates, documents or other evidence as described
in the preceding sentence as will permit payments under this Agreement to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate (but only so long as such Affected Person is legally able to do
so).

          (e) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Affected Person in respect
of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if the obligation to pay
such amounts is attributable to the failure by such Affected Person to comply with the
provisions of

16

 

paragraph (d) above; provided, however, that should an Affected
Person become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the
Borrower shall take such steps as such Affected Person shall reasonably request to assist such
Affected Person to recover such Taxes.

          SECTION 2.09. Break Funding Payments. With respect to any Loan for which interest is
calculated at the Eurodollar Rate, in the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any such
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period (including as a result of any prepayment or
Event of Default), or (b) the failure to borrow or prepay any such Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (any such Interest Period in this clause (b) or clause (a)
above, an “Affected Interest Period”) therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
(unless as a result of a default by any Bank Lender in its obligation to fund its Loan), then, in
any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Affected Person for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. The loss to any Affected Person attributable to any such event shall
be deemed to include an amount determined by such Affected Person to be equal to the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Affected Person would pay for a deposit equal to the
principal amount of its Loan for the period from the date of such payment, failure or assignment to
the last day of the then current Affected Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, the duration of the Affected Interest Period that would have resulted from such
borrowing) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
for such Affected Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Affected Person would
earn on such principal amount for such period if such Affected Person were to invest such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Affected Person (or an
affiliate of such Affected Person) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at
the commencement of such period. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and
the Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten Business Days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.10. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments. (a) If at any time
insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay 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, (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, and (iii)
then to pay other amounts payable hereunder.

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (i) each payment or prepayment of
principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of each Lender pro rata in accordance
with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (ii) each payment of
interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of each Lender pro rata in accordance
with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to each respective Lender.

          (c) If any Lender (for purposes of this Section only, referred to as a “Recipient”)
shall obtain payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff,
or otherwise) on account of the Loans or portion thereof owned by it in excess of its ratable share
of payments made on the Loans owned by the Lenders, such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from
the Lenders which received less than their ratable share participations in the Loans owned by such
Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each
such other Person; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person
shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid
by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount
equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount
so recovered

17

 

from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient
in respect of the total amount so recovered.

          SECTION 2.11. Right of Setoff. Without in any way limiting the provisions of
Section 2.10, the Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it
may have) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or Event of
Default or an Incipient Event of Default to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other
indebtedness held or owing by the Agent or such Lender to, or for the account of, the Borrower
against any amount owing by the Borrower to such Person or to the Agent on behalf of such Person
(even if contingent or unmatured).

          SECTION 2.12. Certain Calculations. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by
Borrower under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 and 2.09 hereof, any Borrower Accrued Interest Amount
outstanding on the applicable date of determination shall be treated as part of the principal
amount of the Loans for purposes of such calculations.

          SECTION 2.13. Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Bank Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.06, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Bank
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank Lender pursuant to Section 2.08,
then such Bank 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 Bank Lender, such designation
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section
2.08, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

and prior to such date TIN Timber Finance, LLC shall not have executed an intercreditor agreement
with respect to the purchase notes held by it for the benefit of the Agent, such agreement to be
in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent; or

          (g) One or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of

same shall remain undischarged for a period of ten consecutive days during which execution shall
not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy
upon any assets of the Borrower to enforce any such judgment; or

          (h) Any party shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained

days
of such Purchase Note Event of Default, (i) the related Purchase Letter of Credit is drawn in full
by the Borrower and (ii) the proceeds of such draw are used to prepay a principal amount of the
Loans equal to the face amount of such Purchase Letter of Credit, then such Purchase Note Event of
Default (but not any other existing or thereafter arising Purchase Note Event of Default) shall be
deemed to be cured; and provided that Borrower shall not be permitted to effect more than
one cure under the foregoing proviso during the term of this Agreement and (B) a Purchase Note
Event of Default which arises solely as a result of the Maker’s failure to deliver financial

          (p) On any date that the Borrower Accrued Interest Amount on such date shall exceed an amount

described in clause (j) or (k) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance
of such event, the Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall, by notice to the
Borrower, 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 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 the Borrower, and (II) upon the occurrence of any event
with respect to the Borrower described in clause (j) or (k) of this Section, the principal of the
Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations
of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall forthwith automatically become due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower. If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Borrower
does not promptly take all action required to accelerate the maturity of any Purchase Note or make
demand for payment in accordance with the instructions of the Agent hereunder to the extent the
same can be accelerated or payments can be requested in accordance with their terms, the Agent is
hereby authorized to take such action in its own name or in the name of and on behalf of the
Borrower, which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Borrower shall forthwith deliver to the Agent a copy of each notice or demand under
the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

          SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes
the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent reserves the
right, in its sole discretion (subject to Section 10.01), to agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant
hereto, and also to
exercise any rights and remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents or pursuant to applicable law. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
Agreement or the other

31

 

Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks
and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that
the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or applicable law.

          SECTION 8.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them as Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except
for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),
independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of
such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender
(whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties
or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the
part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower;
(d) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document by acting upon any notice (including notice by
telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 8.03. CNAI and Affiliates. The obligation of Citibank to make Loans under
this Agreement may be satisfied by CNAI or any of its Affiliates. With respect to any Loans, CNAI
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Agent. CNAI and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do
business with or own securities of the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if
CNAI were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

          SECTION 8.04. Bank’s Lending Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

          SECTION 8.05. Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the amount of its Lender
Commitment (or, if the Bank Commitments have been terminated, then ratably according to the
respective Loans (or interests therein) made by it), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,
provided that no Lender

32

 

shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

          SECTION 9.01. Indemnities by the Borrower. Without limiting any other rights that the
Agent, the Lenders, any of their respective Affiliates or members or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have
hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party
from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
(all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out
of or resulting from this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds of
the Loans, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent found in a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, or (b) any income taxes or any other
tax or fee measured by income incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of
this Agreement or the making of Loans. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the
Borrower shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify
such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting
from any of the following:

                    (i) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Borrower (or any of
its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

                    (ii) the failure by the Borrower to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with
respect to any Loan proceeds;

                    (iii) the failure to vest in the Lenders a perfected security interest in the Collateral;

                    (iv) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar
instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with
respect to the Borrower, whether at the time of the Borrowing or at any subsequent time;

                    (v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of a Buyer or an
L/C Issuer) of a Buyer or an L/C Issuer to the payment of the Collateral;

                    (vi) any failure of the Borrower to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the
provisions hereof or to perform its duties or obligations under any other Basic Document; or

                    (vii) any failure of the Borrower to comply with its covenants contained in this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document.

          SECTION 9.02. Indemnities by TIN. Without limiting any other rights that the
Indemnified Parties may have under the Basic Documents or under applicable law, TIN shall pay on

33

 

demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party
from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the
following:

                    (i) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by TIN or the Borrower (or
any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents
which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

                    (ii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of
proceeds of the Sale and Contribution or the ownership of the Purchase Notes or Letters of Credit
or collections with respect thereto (including, without limitation, in connection with the
preparation of a defense or appearing as a third party witness in connection therewith and
regardless of whether such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the TIN, an
Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto);

                    (iii) any failure of TIN to perform its duties or obligations under any Basic Document;

                    (iv) the failure of TIN to at all times maintain, directly or indirectly, its 100% ownership
interest in the Borrower or TIN shall grant, create, incur assume or suffer to exist any Lien on
such interest in the Borrower; or

                    (v) any failure by TIN to take all reasonable steps to maintain the Borrower’s identity as a
separate legal entity, including maintaining in place all policies and procedures and taking all
action, described in the factual assumptions set forth in the opinion letter of Sutherland Asbill &
Brennan LLP, delivered on the date hereof, addressing the issues of substantive consolidation as it
may relate to TIN on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand.

          It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto (i) that the foregoing
indemnification is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of (A) the collectibility
or payment of the Purchase Notes and the Letters of Credit or (B) the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder and (ii) that nothing in this Section 9.02 shall require TIN to indemnify any Person
(A) for damages, losses, claims or liabilities or related costs or expenses to the extent found in
a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) for any income taxes or franchise taxes
incurred by such Person arising out of or as a result of the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 9.03. Representation and Warranty of TIN. TIN hereby represents and warrants
to the Agent and the Lenders that TIN will account for the transactions contemplated by the Basic
Documents on its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. TIN presently anticipates that,
under current GAAP, the financial statements of TIN and the Borrower will be included in
consolidated or combined financial statements with one or more of their Affiliates, and that such
consolidated or combined financial statements will appropriately reflect the sale and contribution
of the Purchase Notes and the Purchase Letters of Credit under the Sale and Contribution Agreement
by reasonably disclosing in a manner consistent with GAAP that the Purchase Notes and the Purchase
Letters of Credit are owned by a Person other than TIN.

Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless in a

any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the

the Bank Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; and provided,
further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Agent hereunder or under the Security Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Agent. This Agreement and the other Basic Documents constitute the entire agreement among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

          SECTION 10.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall,
unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and

Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by
hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be
effective when received.

          SECTION 10.03. Assignability. (a) This Agreement and the Lenders’ rights and
obligations herein shall only be assignable to Eligible Assignees by the Lenders and their
successors and assigns. Each assignor of a Loan or any interest therein shall notify the Agent and
the Borrower of any such assignment. Each assignor of a Loan or any interest therein may, in
connection with any such assignment, disclose to the assignee or potential assignee any information
relating to the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or potential
assignee agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof.

          (b) Each Bank Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Bank Lender all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or
a portion of its Bank Commitment); provided, however, that

                    (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights
and obligations under this Agreement,

35

 

                    (ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the
lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Bank Lender’s Bank Commitment, and

                    (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $2,500.

          Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank Lender
hereunder and (y) the assigning Bank Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such
rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Bank Lenders and the Bank Commitment of each Bank
Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and
the Bank Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank Lender
under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower or any Bank Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Bank Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance
has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.03, any Bank Lender may at any
time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without
limitation, rights to interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank Lender to
a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent;
provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Bank Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder.

          (e) Each Bank Lender may sell participations, to one or more banks or other entities which
are Eligible Assignees, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment or interests
therein owned by it); provided, however, that

                    (i) such Bank Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Bank Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and

                    (ii) such Bank Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement
for the performance of such obligations.

36

 

The Agent, the other Bank Lenders and the Borrower shall have the right to continue to deal solely
and directly with such Bank Lender in connection with such Bank Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement.

          (f) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Agent herein shall be assignable by
the Agent and its successors and assigns.

          (g) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Agent.

          (h) Conduit Lenders may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or
more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and
obligations hereunder; provided that following the sale of a participation under this
Agreement (i) the obligations of the Conduit Lenders shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Conduit
Lenders shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, and the Bank Lenders shall continue to deal solely
and directly with the Conduit Lenders in connection with the Conduit Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Conduit
Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to
direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Conduit Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
that (i) reduces the principal and interest on such Loan or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the
Borrower to the Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any
scheduled date for payment of such fees. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Conduit
Lender’s source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in
Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 9.01 and 10.04 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements,
expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Conduit Lenders
shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to pay higher costs, expenses and indemnification amounts pursuant to this
sentence than would be required to be paid by the Borrower in the absence of the sale of any
participation by the Conduit Lender to a Participant as contemplated by this Section 10.03(h).
The Conduit Lender or the Agent may, in connection with any such participation, disclose to
Participants and potential Participants any information relating to the Borrower; provided
that, prior to any such disclosure, such Participant or potential Participant agrees to preserve
the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.06 hereof.

          SECTION 10.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of
indemnification granted under Section 9.01 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand (i) all
costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the other Basic Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of counsel for the Agent, CNAI, the Lender and Citibank with respect thereto and with
respect to advising the Agent, CNAI, the Lender and Citibank as to their rights and remedies under
this Agreement, and (ii) all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses),
of the Agent, CNAI and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all Liquidation Fees payable on a reduction
of the Loans.

37

 

          SECTION 10.05. No Proceedings; Waiver of Consequential Damages. (a) Each of the
Borrower, the Agent, each Lender and each assignee of the Loans hereby agrees that it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Conduit Lenders a bankrupt
or insolvent proceeding, or seek liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or
the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any
substantial part of its property so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness
issued by the Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one
day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall have
been outstanding.

          (b) The Borrower agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to them or any of
their securityholders or creditors in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby on any theory of liability for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits,
business or anticipated savings).

          SECTION 10.06. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Borrower and TIN agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of this Agreement and the Fee Letter in communications with third parties and
otherwise; provided that this Agreement may be disclosed (i) to third parties to the extent
such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) to the legal counsel and auditors of the Borrower and
TIN if they agree to hold it confidential and (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or
regulation or by any court, regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over such party
(including the New York Stock Exchange); and provided, further, that such party
shall have no obligation of confidentiality in respect of any information which may be generally
available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of such party.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document, each
Lender and the Agent hereby confirms that the Borrower (and each employee, representative or other
agent of each such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents.

          SECTION 10.07. No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Agent or
any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder 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 Agent and the Lenders
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.01, 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 shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

          SECTION 10.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401
OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE

38

 

STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT THAT, PURSUANT TO THE UCC OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF
PERFECTION OR NONPERFECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE LENDERS IN THE LOANS AND THE SALE AND
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 10.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          SECTION 10.10. Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 2.06, 2.07, 9.01,
10.04, 10.05 and 10.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New
York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect
of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to
the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree 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.

          (b) The Borrower consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in
Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall affect the right of the Lenders or the Agent
to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 10.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO.

          SECTION 10.13. Agreement Regarding Certain Post-Closing Matters. Each of the parties
hereto hereby agrees that following the Effective Date it will negotiate in good faith:

	 	(i)	 	the terms of either an amendment to the Account Control Agreement or written
direction to the account bank thereunder in form and substance mutually acceptable to
each of the parties hereto the purpose of which shall be to permit Borrower to provide
payment and transfer instructions with respect to amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account prior to delivery of notice by the Agent to the account bank that Borrower’s
right to deliver such
instructions has been terminated (such notice to be deliverable only following the
occurrence of an Incipient Event of Default or Event of Default hereunder);

39

 

	 	(ii)	 	if requested by the Borrower, the terms of an account control agreement for the
establishment by the Borrower of a “Securities Account” (as defined in the Security
Agreement) and the terms of an amendment to this Agreement and the Security Agreement
to reflect the establishment of such Securities Account;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	such other amendments to this Agreement and the Security Agreement as may be
necessary in connection with the foregoing, including, if requested by the Agent, an
amendment to the definition of Cash Equivalents;
	 
	 	provided, that as a condition to the execution of any such amendments, letters or
agreements, the Agent and the Lenders shall receive such officer’s certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents as they shall reasonably request.
