quarter ending on and after the measurement period ending on September 30, 2015
based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in

telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier or telex in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i)
date of such Borrowing, (ii) whether such Borrowing is a Revolving Borrowing or
a Term Loan Borrowing, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv)
aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) remittance instructions, and (vi) in the
case of any such Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial
Interest Period for each such Advance; provided that any Notice of Borrowing
submitted with respect to an Advance to be made on the Closing Date shall be
accompanied by a funding indemnity letter in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent. If no election as to Type of Advances comprising such
Borrowing is specified in any such Notice of Borrowing, then such Advances shall
be Alternate Base Rate Advances. If no Interest Period with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Advances is specified in any such Notice of Borrowing, then the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month duration.

30    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Lender with a Commitment for the Class of Advances requested in the Notice
of Borrowing shall on the date of such Borrowing, before 12:00 Noon (New York
City time), in the case of a Borrowing to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, and before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in the case of a Borrowing
to be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Advances, make available for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion
of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and
upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the
Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower
in the manner specified by the applicable Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing.
(a)    Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no
Borrower may select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the obligation
of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant
to Section 2.09 or Section 2.13, and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Advances made
pursuant to this Section 2.02 may not be outstanding as part of more than twelve
separate Borrowings.
(b)    Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
applicable Borrower.
(c)    The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of
any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be
made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section
2.21 and Section 2.22 of this Agreement), each Borrower may request the issuance
of, and the Issuing Bank agrees to issue, one or more Letters of Credit for its
own account, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period
from the Closing Date until the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date
on a revolving basis, provided that no Trade Letters of Credit shall be issued
and the minimum amount for any standby Letter of Credit shall be $100,000 (or
such other amount that the Issuing Bank may determine at its own discretion). 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 applicable Borrower to, or
entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. At
the request of the applicable Borrower, any Letter of Credit may be issued (i)
designating a Subsidiary of such Borrower as a nominal account party in respect
of such Letter of Credit, but no such designation shall in any manner limit or
impair, or relieve such Borrower of, the obligations of such Borrower hereunder
and in respect of such Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that, as
among the several parties to this Agreement, such Borrower shall at all times
have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations,

31    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

duties and responsibilities of an account party in respect thereof, or (ii) for
the joint and several account of the Borrowers. All Existing Letters of Credit
shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the
Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions
hereof.
(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 applicable Borrower shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent on the third Business Day (or such other
period of time acceptable to the Issuing Bank) prior to 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, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with subsection (b)
of this Section 2.03), 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
Issuing Bank, such Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on
the 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 applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the total LC
Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the LC Exposure of any Revolving
Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iii) the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed at any time the aggregate amount of
the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders.
(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), and (ii) the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility;
provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for
additional periods not to exceed one year (which in no event extend beyond the
date referred to in clause (ii) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may issue one or more Letters of Credit,
each with an expiration date extending beyond the Maturity Date for the
Revolving Credit Facility (each a “Designated Letter of Credit” and,
collectively, the “Designated Letters of Credit”); provided that on or before
the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit
Facility, to the extent that any Designated Letter of Credit remains
outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the aggregate then
undrawn and unexpired amount of all Designated Letters of Credit outstanding at
such time. In the event that the applicable Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize
the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit by the date that is 30 days prior
to the Maturity Date, each such outstanding Designated Letter of Credit shall
automatically be deemed drawn in full and such Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Credit Advance to be funded by the Revolving Lenders on
such

32    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

date to reimburse such drawing (with the proceeds of such Revolving Credit
Advance being used to Cash Collateralize outstanding Designated Letters of
Credit as set forth above) in accordance with Section 2.03(d). The funding by a
Revolving Lender of its pro rata share of such Revolving Credit Advance to Cash
Collateralize the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit on the date that is
30 days prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility shall be
deemed payment by such Revolving Lender in respect of its participation in each
such Designated Letter of Credit.
(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 Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank
issuing one or more Letters of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Lender,
and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation
in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment 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 Issuing Bank, such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed on or before the date due as provided in
subsection (d) of this Section 2.03, or of any reimbursement payment required to
be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this subsection (d) 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
Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)    Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement (i) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of
such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or
(ii) if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on such LC Disbursement date, then not later than 2:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on (x) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives
such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on such day of receipt, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day on
which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior
to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such day of receipt; provided that such
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Revolving
Credit Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting Revolving Credit Advance. If such Borrower fails to make such
payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC

33    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and
such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly
following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the payment then due
from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect
to Revolving Credit Advances made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.02
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank
the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders; provided that such
Borrower shall remain obligated to pay interest on such LC Disbursement until
the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for such LC Disbursement in accordance with
clause (h) of this Section 2.03. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this
subsection, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this subsection to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such
Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any
payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this subsection to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (including the funding of Revolving Credit
Advances as contemplated above) shall constitute a Revolving Credit Advance and
the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have reimbursed the Issuing Bank as
of date of such payment and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have
extended, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted, a Revolving Credit
Advance in the aggregate principal amount of such payment without any further
action on the part of any party, provided that if any such payment is not deemed
to be the funding of a Revolving Credit Advance for any reason, such payment
shall constitute the funding of such Revolving Lender’s participation in the
applicable LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. Each applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2.03 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 amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any
of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any
Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person, other
than payment in full of all amounts due and payable, may at any time have
against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

34    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv)    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;
(v)    payment by the 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; and
(vi)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing
Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other
event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.03, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder, other
than payment in full of all amounts due and payable.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank nor any of
their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, 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, including any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) through
(vi) above, as well as 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 the Issuing Bank; provided
that the foregoing (including the circumstance specified in clause (v) above)
shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to such
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by
the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care (as set forth
below) with respect to any Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree
that the Issuing Bank shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing
Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that
the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents
that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if
such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The 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 such Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit
was issued by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and
whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving

35    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse (including with the proceeds of
Revolving Credit Advances as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2.03) or
shall be deemed to have reimbursed 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 such Borrower reimbursed such LC Disbursement at the rate per
annum specified in Section 2.07(a)(i), provided that, if such Borrower fails to
reimburse (including with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances as provided
in subsection (e) of this Section 2.03) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant
to subsection (e) of this Section 2.03, then Section 2.07(b)(ii) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the account of the
Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by
any Revolving Lender pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2.03 to
reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to
the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement of the LC Commitment of the Issuing Bank. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.22 of this Agreement, all or a portion of the LC
Commitment of the Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time with an LC Commitment
from a new Issuing Bank that is a Revolving Lender selected by Rayonier, which
agrees to act pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrowers, such new
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in form and substance acceptable to
all parties thereto (with notice to the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment is
being replaced); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall review
any such proposed agreement for form only and not with respect to the identity
of any successor Issuing Bank or the identity of the Issuing Bank to be
replaced. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement of the LC Commitment of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued and payable pursuant to Section 2.04(c) for the account of the Issuing
Bank whose LC Commitment is being replaced. From and after the effective date of
any such replacement, (i) the Issuing Bank succeeding to the LC Commitment being
replaced shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to its LC Commitment (and its Letters of Credit to
be issued by it on such effective date or thereafter), and (ii) references
herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and the previous Issuing
Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the LC Commitment
of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment was replaced
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such replacement that remain outstanding after the
effective date of such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit in excess of its remaining LC Commitment (if any).

36    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2.04.    Fees.
(a)    Unused Commitment Fee. (i) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally,
subject to Section 2.22(a)(iii) of this Agreement, to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of each Revolving Lender an Unused Commitment Fee

Lender exceeds the outstanding principal balance of amount of Revolving Credit
Advances made by such Revolving Lender and such Lender’s LC Exposure, and, with
respect to the Swing Line Lender only, its Swing Line Loans from the Closing
Date until the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate per

Commitments have not terminated or been reduced to zero on or prior to November
5, 2015 ROC agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of
each Term Loan Lender with a Term Loan Commitment an Unused Commitment Fee on
the daily average amount by which the Term Loan Commitment of such Term Loan
Lender exceeds the principal amount of Term Loan Advances made by such Lender
during the period from November 5, 2015 to but excluding the date on which the
Term Loan Commitments terminate at a rate per annum in effect from time to time
as set forth in the definition of “Unused Commitment Fee”, payable on January 1,
2016, and on April 1, 2016, or on any earlier date of termination of the Term
Loan Commitments or reduction or the Term Loan Commitments to zero. All Unused
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).
(b)    Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally,
to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from
time to time be agreed between Rayonier and the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Participation and Fronting Fees. The applicable Borrower agrees, subject
to Section 2.22(a)(iii) of this Agreement, to pay (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of each Revolving Lender, a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of
such Borrower, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin for Letter of Credit Fees on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the average daily aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit
outstanding hereunder for the account of such Borrower during the period from
and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving
Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own
account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the Stated Amount of each Letter of
Credit issued (or if previously issued, extended or renewed) by such Issuing
Bank for the account of such Borrower, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard
fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any such
Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees shall
be payable in arrears quarterly on the first Business Day of April, July,
October

37    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and January of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Closing Date, and fronting fees shall be payable at the time of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit; provided that all such
fees shall be payable on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility and
any such fees accruing after the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility
shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant
to this subsection shall be payable promptly after demand. All participation
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).
(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the parties
entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.05.    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. Rayonier shall
have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative
Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused
portions of (a) the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders
and/or (b) the respective unused Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders,
provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
SECTION 2.06.    Repayment of Advances. The applicable Borrower shall repay to
the Administrative Agent the aggregate principal amount of the Advances of a
class of Advances made to such Borrower that are then outstanding on the
Maturity Date for such Class of Advances for the ratable benefit of the
applicable Class of Lenders.
SECTION 2.07.    Interest on Advances.
(a)    Scheduled Interest. The applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of
such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following
rates per annum:
(i)    Alternate Base Rate Advances. (A) In the case of a Revolving Credit
Advance, during such periods as such Advance is an Alternate Base Rate Advance,
a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (y) the Alternate Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit
Advances that are Alternate Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, and
(B) in the case of a Term Loan Advance, during such periods as such Advance is
an Alternate Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum
of (y) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (z) the
Applicable Margin for Term Loan Advances that are Alternate Base Rate Advances
in effect from time to time, in each case of (A) and (B) of this clause
(i), payable in arrears quarterly on the first Business Day of each April, July,
October and January, during such periods.
(ii)    Eurodollar Rate Advances. (A) In the case of a Revolving Credit Advance,

38    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sum of (y) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus
(z) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Advances that are Eurodollar Rate
Advances in effect from time to time, and (B) in the case of a Term Loan
Advance, during such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a
rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance
to the sum of (y) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance
plus (z) the Applicable Margin for Term Loan Advances that are Eurodollar Rate
Advances in effect from time to time, in each case of (A) or (B) of this clause
(ii), payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such
Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that
occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period and on the date such Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(iii)    Swing Line Loans. Swing Line Loans shall bear interest as set forth in
Section 2.19(e).
(b)    Default Interest. At any time during which any Borrower shall fail (i) to
pay any principal of any Advance, any interest on any Advance or make any other
payment in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document when the
same becomes due and payable, or (ii) to perform or observe any term, covenant
or agreement contained in Section 5.04, the Administrative Agent may, and upon
the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrowers to pay interest
(“Default Interest”) on (A) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to
each Lender by such Borrower, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in
clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per
annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to
clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, and (B) to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not
paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be
paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full
and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the
rate per annum required to be paid on Advances that are Alternate Base Rate
Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i)(A) above, provided, however, that following
acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall
accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.08.    Computation of Interest.
(a)    The interest on Alternate Base Rate Advances, when calculated based upon
the Prime Rate, shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year for the
actual days elapsed and all other interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon
as practicable notify Rayonier and the Lenders of each determination of a
Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on an Advance resulting from a
change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate shall become effective
as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.
The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify Rayonier and the
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest
rate.

39    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.09.    Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day
of any Interest Period:
(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period, or
(b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required
Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
(as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining its affected Advances
during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to
Rayonier and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter (which notice shall
include supporting calculations in reasonable detail). If such notice is given,
(i) any Eurodollar Rate Advance requested to be made on the first day of such
Interest Period shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Advances, (ii) any Advances
that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate Advances, and
(iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be Converted, on the first
day of such Interest Period, to Alternate Base Rate Advances. Until such notice
has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the
right to Convert Alternate Base Rate Advances to Eurodollar Rate Advances.
SECTION 2.10.    Conversion of Advances.
(a)    Optional Conversion. Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice
given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and
subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert Advances of a Class
that are of one Type owed by such Borrower and comprising the same Borrowing
into such Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of
Eurodollar Rate Advances into Alternate Base Rate Advances shall be made only on
the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any
Conversion of Alternate Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall
be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified for Borrowings of
such Class of Advances in Section 2.01 or any Incremental Term Loan Amendment
pursuant to Section 2.25 and no Conversion of any such Advances shall result in
more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice
of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the
date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such
Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial
Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be
irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.

40    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Mandatory Conversion. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be
reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such
Advances shall automatically Convert into Alternate Base Rate Advances, and (ii)
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into an Alternate Base Rate Advance, and (y)
the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.11.    Prepayments of Advances. Any Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (a “Prepayment Notice”) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the Business Day of the proposed date of the prepayment in the
case of Alternate Base Rate Advances of any Class and on the third Business Day
prior to the proposed date of the prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Rate
Advances of any Class, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of the prepayment of Advances of such Class, and if such notice
is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Class of Advances owed by such Borrower comprising part of the same Borrowing of
such Class specified by such Borrower in such notice in whole or ratably in
part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment
shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) in the event of any such
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.23, provided,
further, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
rather than any such prepayment being applied to the Class of Advances specified
in the Prepayment Notice or as otherwise directed by the Borrower, such
prepayment shall be applied in the same manner as payments received are applied
after an exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 6.01.
SECTION 2.12.    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or
the Issuing Bank;
(ii)    subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a
Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Advance made by it, or change the basis
of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof
(except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or the Issuing Bank); or

41    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate
Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate
Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or
Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of
such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company,
if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return in any material respect on such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by a Lender, or
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements),
then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank,
jointly and severally, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause
(a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and delivered to Rayonier, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank,
jointly and severally, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing
Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Rayonier of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or

42    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issuing Bank’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 six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 2.13.    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental
Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of
the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall
be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify Rayonier and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (ii)
each Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Advances of
such Borrower then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, unless
such Borrower, within five (5) Business Days of notice from the Administrative
Agent, Converts all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Borrower then outstanding
into Alternate Base Rate Advances in accordance with Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.14.    Payments.
(a)    The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any
right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time)
on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to: (i) the payment or
prepayment of principal of a Class of Advances to the Lenders of such Class
ratably in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amount of the
Advances of such Class held by them for the account of their respective
Applicable Lending Offices; (ii) the payment of interest on a Class of Loans to
the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the amounts of interest on
such Class of Advances then due and payable to the respective Class of Lenders
for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, (iii) the
payment of the fees under Section 2.04(a)(i) and Section 2.04(c)(i) to the
Revolving Lenders ratably according to the amounts of their respective Revolving
Commitments for the account of their respective Applicable Lender Offices, (iv)
the payment of fees under Section 2.04(a)(ii) to the Term Loan Lenders ratably
according to the amounts of their Term Loan Commitments then outstanding for the
account of their respective Applicable Lender Offices, (v) the payment of fees
under Section 2.04(c)(ii) to the Issuing Bank, to the Issuing Bank, and (vi)  to
the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or Issuing Bank to such
Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office or the Issuing Bank, in
each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its
acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information
contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after
the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the
Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in
respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignor and the Lender
assignee thereunder in accordance with such Assignment and Assumption, on a pro
rata basis and subject to all appropriate adjustments

43    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in such payments for periods prior to such effective date. All payments of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Line Loans
shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender only (except to the extent any
Revolving Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any
Swing Line Loan, in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance
with such participating interest).
(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment hereunder or
under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
of interest or Unused Commitment Fee, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
SECTION 2.15.    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by
applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any 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 2.15) the Administrative Agent, each
Lender or the 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
timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions
of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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
Rayonier by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

44    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any 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)    Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to Rayonier (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Rayonier, the applicable
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Rayonier, the
applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Rayonier, the
applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall
deliver to Rayonier and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of
America is a party,
(ii)    duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the
applicable Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or
(C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code, and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv)    any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly
completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed

45    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by applicable law to permit the applicable Borrower to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
the Issuing Bank 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
Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes
or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, agree to repay
the amount paid over to the applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that
it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
SECTION 2.16.    Sharing of Payments, Etc. 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 Advances or other obligations
hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such
obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Advances and other
amounts owing them; 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 (x)
any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the
existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Advances or participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as
to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

46    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Borrower hereby 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 each Borrower in the amount
of such participation.
SECTION 2.17.    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder in respect of Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice
by any Lender to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative
Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such
Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise)
the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall
promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (i) in the case of Revolving Credit
Advances, a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Lender in a
principal amount up to the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, (ii) in the case
of Term Loan Advances, a Term Loan Note payable to the order of such Lender in a
principal amount up to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and (iii) in the
case of Swing Line Loans, a Swing Line Note payable to the order of the Swing
Line Lender in a principal amount up to the Swing Line Commitment.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each
Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and
amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the applicable Borrower thereof, the
Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender
hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
from each Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of
principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such
account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or
such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
any Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.18.    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be
available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for ongoing
working capital needs and

47    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

general corporate purposes of the applicable Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, acquisitions and repayment of Debt). The Letters
of Credit are to be used for the general corporate purposes of the applicable
Borrower.
SECTION 2.19.    Swing Line Loans.
(a)    Swing Line Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and
relying upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.19, the
Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Line Loans to each Borrower at any time or
from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Maturity Date
for the Revolving Credit Facility; provided, that after giving effect to any
such Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans shall not
exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments. Each request by the
Borrower for a Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to be a representation by the
Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the proviso at the end of the
preceding sentence and with Section 3.02 after giving effect to the requested
Swing Line Loan. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing
Line Loans in accordance with to this Section 2.19. No Borrower shall use the
proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.
(b)    Cash Management Arrangements. Each Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may
enter into a cash management agreement providing for the automatic advance by
the Swing Line Lender of Swing Line Loans under the conditions set forth in such
agreement, which conditions shall be in addition to the conditions set forth
herein.
(c)    Swing Line Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, any
Borrower may from time to time prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving
Credit Facility request that the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans by
delivery to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not
later than 12:00 noon (New York time) (or such later time as the applicable cash
management agreement, if any, may permit or otherwise as the Swing Line Lender
in its sole discretion may agree) on the proposed date of Borrowing of a duly
completed Notice of Borrowing, or by telephonic request promptly followed by a
duly executed Notice of Borrowing. Each telephonic request and related Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such
Borrowing and the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan. Promptly after
receipt of any telephonic or written request for a Swing Line Loan, the Swing
Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative
Agent received a copy of the same and, if not, provide the Administrative Agent
with information regarding the requested Swing Line Loan.
(d)    Making Swing Line Loans. So long as the Swing Line Lender has not
received timely telephonic or written notice from the Administrative Agent that
one or more conditions precedent to the making of a Swing Line Loan under this
Section have not been satisfied, the Swing Line Lender, after receipt by it of a
Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.19(c), shall fund such Swing
Line Loan to the applicable Borrower in U.S.

48    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dollars and immediately available funds in the manner specified by the
applicable Borrower prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) or as otherwise agreed in
any applicable cash management agreement on the date of Borrowing.
(e)    Borrowings to Repay Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender may, at its
option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of
the Swing Line Loans with the proceeds of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit
Advances under Section 2.01(a), and each Revolving Lender shall make a Revolving
Credit Advance in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s ratable portion of
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, plus, if the
Swing Line Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided, that no
Revolving Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit
Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment. Revolving Credit Advances made
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate then in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Advances
that are Alternate Base Rate Advances and shall be deemed to have been properly
requested in accordance with Section 2.02(a) without regard to any of the
requirements of that provision. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligations to fund Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this
Section 2.19(e) and/or to acquire participations pursuant to Section 2.19(f) in
respect of Swing Line Loans are absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any failure by a Borrower to
satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender
shall provide notice to the Revolving Lenders that such Revolving Credit
Advances are to be made under this Section 2.19 and of the apportionment among
the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Lenders shall be unconditionally
obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Advances (whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 3.02 are then satisfied) by the time the Swing Line Lender
so requests, which shall not be earlier than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
Business Day next after the date the Revolving Lenders receive such notice from
the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may, at its option, exercisable by
delivery of written notice to the applicable Borrower at any time after the date
that is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which any Swing Line Loan is
made, for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment by such Borrower of such Swing
Line Loan, together with all outstanding interest thereon, and such Borrower
shall make such repayment no later than three (3) Business Days following
receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary, the Borrowers shall repay the entire outstanding
principal amount of Swing Line Loans, if any, together with all outstanding
interest thereon and unpaid fees with respect thereto, on the Maturity Date for
the Revolving Credit Facility.
(f)    Risk Participations in Swing Line Loans. Immediately upon the making of
each Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan, and such
interest and participation may be recovered from such Revolving Lender together
with interest thereon at the Alternate Base Rate for

49    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revolving Credit Advances for each day during the period commencing on the date
of demand and ending on the date such amount is received (subject to the
limitation in clause (e) above that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to
make Revolving Credit Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment).
SECTION 2.20.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.12, or requires any Borrower to pay additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of such
Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Advances 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 2.12 or Section 2.15, 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 applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.12, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a
different lending office in accordance with Section 2.20(a), or if any Lender is
a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the applicable 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, and
consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)    the applicable Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Advances and funded participations in LC
Disbursements and Swing Line Loans that have not been repaid, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.23 from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts));
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to

50    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.21.    Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a
Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within one (1) Business Day
following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, jointly and
severally, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect
to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)
and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not
less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)    Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by
any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and
agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash
Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund
participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause
(b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash
Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided (other than Liens
of the types described in clause (a) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”), or
that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum
Collateral Amount, the applicable Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving
effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.21 or Section 2.22 in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the
Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC
Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender,
any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so
provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be
provided for herein.
(c)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion
thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer
be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21
following (i) the elimination of

51    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting
Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash
Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.22, the Person providing Cash
Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to
support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
SECTION 2.22.    Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Required Class Lenders and
Required Lenders.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.05 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if such
Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swing
Line Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender,
to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21; fourth, as Rayonier may
request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
Rayonier, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x)
satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Advances under this Agreement, and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a
Revolving Lender, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit
issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the
Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting

52    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any
Revolving Credit Advances or LC Disbursements in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such
Revolving Credit Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued
at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit
Advances of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit
Advances of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time
as all Revolving Credit Advances and funded and unfunded participations in LC
Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility without
giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts
paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts
owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.
(A)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.04(a) to the contrary, no
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee payable
under Section 2.04(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.04(c) to the contrary, each
Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive
participation fees with respect to Letters of Credit under Section 2.04(c)(i)
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the
extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of
Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section
2.21.
(C)    With respect to any Unused Commitment Fee payable under Section
2.04(a)(i) and, participation fees payable under Section 2.04(c)(i) not required
to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above,
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting
Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable
to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation
in LC Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the

53    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting
Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such
Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any
such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. In the case
of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, all or any part of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and in Swing Line Loans
shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders
in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (calculated
without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the
extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the
time of such reallocation (and, unless any Borrower shall have otherwise
notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time),
and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that
Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation
described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to
the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the
Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.21.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein (which in the case of a Defaulting Lender
that is a Revolving Lender may include arrangements with respect to any Cash
Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions
as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as
applicable, (i) the Revolving Credit Advances and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by
the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), (ii) the Term Loan
Commitments, if any remain at such time, of the Term Loan Lenders to be held in
accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments, (iii) the Term Loans to
be held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata as if there had been no Defaulting
Lender, (iv) the Incremental Term Loan Advances of each Incremental Term Loan
Facility

54    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to be held by the Incremental Term Loan Lenders of such Class pro rata as if
there had been no Defaulting Lenders of such Class, whereupon such Lender will
cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrowers may terminate the unused
amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less
than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of
Section 2.22(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers
for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on
account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such
termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender the Issuing Bank, or
any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(d)    New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender
is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund
any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting
Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank
shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit
unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect thereto.
SECTION 2.23.    Breakage. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify
each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as
a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the
performance of its obligations hereunder (but including, for the avoidance of
doubt, any loss or expense incurred as result of an assignment and delegation by
a Lender under Section 2.20(b) of this Agreement), which results in (a) such
Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the
principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance prior to the end of the Interest Period
in effect therefor, (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance to an
Alternate Base Rate Advance, or the conversion of the Interest Period with
respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, in each case other than on the last day
of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (c) any Eurodollar Rate Advance to
be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made
pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made
after notice of such Advance shall have been given by any Borrower hereunder
(which indemnified amount shall include, without limitation, any loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such
Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure,
is not made on such date) (any of these events being called a “Breakage Event”).
In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to
the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of
obtaining funds for the

55    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eurodollar Rate Advance that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the
period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest
Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Advance over (ii)
the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the
funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period.
A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be delivered
to Rayonier and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.24.    Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) Funding by Lenders;
Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of Alternate Base Rate Advances,
one (1) hour prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing for which such Lender
is required to make an Advance, and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing for which such Lender is required to make an Advance 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 Section 2.02 and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing for which it is required to make an Advance
available to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrowers jointly and severally,
and the applicable Lenders 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 applicable
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by 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, and (ii) in
the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate at such time
applicable to Advances comprising such Borrowing. If a Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such
period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Advance included in such Borrowing. Any such payment by a Borrower shall be
without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Rayonier prior to the date
on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any
Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders to which such payment due or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the
applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of such Lenders
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to each such
Lender or Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount

56    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
SECTION 2.25.    Accordion.
(a)    Increase in Revolving Commitments.
(i)    Accordion Option. Provided that no Event of Default or Default has
occurred and is continuing as of the request date or the effective date thereof
after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers may from time to time request an
increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (each an “Accordion Increase”)
in accordance with this Section 2.25(a); provided that the aggregate principal
amount of all increases to the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this
Section 2.25(a)) shall not exceed $100,000,000 (the “Maximum Aggregate Increase
Amount”) and each requested Accordion Increase shall not be less than
$25,000,000.
(ii)    Increasing Lenders; New Lenders.
(A)    Offer to existing Lenders or New Lenders. Upon receipt of a request for
an Accordion Increase from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, offer one or more Lenders with Revolving Commitments or new lenders
that are Eligible Assignees, the opportunity (but not the obligation), in such
amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in consultation with
Rayonier and subject to Rayonier’s approval (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to participate in the Accordion Increase by
increasing such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or, in the case of a new lender,
by issuing a Revolving Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation to offer any Lender or new lender the opportunity to participate in
any such Accordion Increase and nothing herein shall prohibit the Administrative
Agent from retaining for its own account, as a Lender, all or substantially all
of such Accordion Increase. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment that fails
to respond to such a notice in writing within the period of time provided
therein shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its Revolving
Commitment.
(B)    Increasing Lenders. Each current Lender with a Revolving Commitment
increasing its Revolving Commitments in connection with an Accordion Increase
(each an “Increasing Lender”) shall confirm such agreement pursuant to an
acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by it
and the Borrowers and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5)
days before the effective date of such increase.

57    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(C)    New Lenders. Each new lender (if any) joining this Agreement to provide a
Revolving Commitment hereunder in connection with an Accordion Increase (each a
“New Lender”) shall be subject to the approval of the Borrowers and each of the
Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank.
(D)    New Lender Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.
(E)    Records. The Administrative Agent shall record relevant information
regarding each Accordion Increase (including information with respect to New
Lenders) in the Register in accordance with Section 8.07(c); provided, however,
that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit
Advances.
(iii)    Facility Increase Notice. If the Administrative Agent obtains one or
more subscriptions to participate in a requested Accordion Increase after making
the offers described in Section 2.25(a)(ii)(A), the Administrative Agent shall
provide to the Borrowers and each Lender subscribing to a portion of the
Accordion Increase a notice setting forth (i) the amount of the approved
Accordion Increase and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving
Commitments, (ii) the effective date of the approved Accordion Increase,
(iii) any fees agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and Rayonier are
payable to the Lenders subscribing to a portion of such Accordion Increase, and
(iv) for each Lender, its respective Revolving Commitment, as determined by the
Administrative Agent in consultation with Rayonier and subject to Rayonier’s
approval (such approval not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect
to the Accordion Increase. In addition, a fee letter may be entered into between
the Administrative Agent and Rayonier in connection with any such Accordion
Increase setting forth all fees payable to the Administrative Agent in
connection with obtaining subscriptions for, and implementation of, the
Accordion Increase, with such fees to be based upon current market conditions.
(iv)    Conditions to and Implementation of an Accordion Increase. On the
effective date of an Accordion Increase:
(A)    Notes; Corporate Authorization; Payment of Fees. The Borrower shall (x)
execute and deliver a replacement Revolving Credit Note for any Lender that may
require one, and (y) pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be
described in the Facility Increase Notice and any related fee letter attached
thereto, to be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed to other
Lenders subscribing to the Accordion Increase, as

58    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provided therein, all of which shall be conditions to effectiveness of the
Accordion Increase;
(B)    Records. The Administrative Agent shall record in its records the
adjusted Revolving Commitment and Revolving Commitment Percentage of each
Increasing Lender and New Lender, after giving effect to the Accordion Increase,
and the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay
outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of certain Lenders and obtain additional
Revolving Credit Advances from other Revolving Lenders, in each case to the
extent necessary so that all Revolving Lenders participate in outstanding
Revolving Credit Advances under the Revolving Commitments ratably, on the basis
of their respective Revolving Commitments, after giving effect to the increase
in the aggregate Revolving Commitments effected by implementation of the
Accordion Increase;
(C)    Confirmation. The Administrative Agent shall confirm, in writing, that
the approved Accordion Increase has become effective and that the aggregate
Revolving Commitments have been increased by the amount thereof;
(D)    Effective Date. On the effective date of such Accordion Increase, each
Increasing Lender and each New Lender (x) will be deemed to have purchased a
participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.3
and the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be
adjusted accordingly, (y) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in
each then outstanding Swing Line Loan equal to its Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.19 and the
participation of each other Lender in such Swing Line Loan shall be adjusted
accordingly.
(E)    Borrower Certificate. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of
any Accordion Increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of each Borrower, dated as of such date and signed by the chief
executive officer, chief financial officer or a senior vice president of such
Borrower, (i) certifying and attaching all necessary resolutions, consents
and/or approvals of such Borrower approving or consenting to such Accordion
Increase and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
Accordion Increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article
IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent
applicable to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and
except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by
materiality, in which case

59    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date),
(B) no Default or Event of Default exists and (C) Rayonier shall be in
compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 5.04 (calculated on a pro
forma basis, as of the date of the Accordion Increase but based upon the most
recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been or are
required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(k)).
(v)    Terms of Accordion Increase. For the avoidance of doubt, each commitment
increase and/or new commitment made in connection with an Accordion Increase
shall constitute a Revolving Commitment hereunder, each advance made in
connection with an Accordion Increase shall constitute a Revolving Credit
Advance and each such commitment and advance shall be subject to the same terms
and conditions as all other Revolving Commitments and Revolving Credit Advances,
including with respect to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility therefor
and interest and fees thereon.
(b)    Incremental Term Loans. At any time, Rayonier or ROC may by written
notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or
more incremental term loan commitments to make incremental term loan advances
(each such advance, an “Incremental Term Loan Advance”) under one or more
additional incremental term loan facilities to be included in this Agreement
(each such facility, an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”), or commitments for
additional Incremental Term Loan Advances under any existing Incremental Term
Loan Facility (such commitments with respect to a new or existing Incremental
Term Loan Facility, each individually, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and
collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”). The aggregate amount of
the Incremental Term Loan Commitments made with respect to each new Incremental
Term Loan Facility or for any additional Incremental Term Loan Advances under
any existing Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be, in each case, at least
$50,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount
Date”) on which Rayonier or ROC proposes that any Incremental Term Loan
Commitment(s) shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10)
Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative
Agent. Rayonier or ROC may invite one or more Lenders or new lenders that are
Eligible Assignees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (any such
Person, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) for such Incremental Term Loan
Facility. Any Lender or any Incremental Term Loan Lender offered or approached
to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment for all or a portion of any
Incremental Term Loan Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to
provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Any Incremental Term Loan
Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided
that:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date
before or after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Term Loan Commitment and
(2) the making of any Incremental Term Loan Advances pursuant thereto;

60    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received a
certificate of each Borrower, dated as of such date and signed by the chief
executive officer, chief financial officer or a senior vice president of such
Borrower, (i) certifying and attaching all necessary resolutions, consents
and/or approvals of such Borrower approving or consenting to such new
Incremental Term Loan Facility or the making of additional Incremental Term Loan
Advances under any existing Incremental Term Loan Facility, as the case may be,
and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such new Incremental
Term Loan Facility or making of additional Incremental Term Loan Advances, as
the case may be, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Increased Amount Date (except to the extent applicable to an
earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true
and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and except to the
extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality, in
which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of
such date) (except that, in connection with any acquisition not prohibited
hereunder, the Incremental Term Loan Lenders may agree that certain
representations and warranties need not be true and correct on any date there is
a Borrowing of Incremental Term Loan Advances under the relevant Incremental
Term Loan Facility and that, in such case, the only representations and

make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and visit
the properties of any Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries, as shall be
reasonably requested, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of any
Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries with any of their officers and with

72    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

their independent certified public accountants (subject to such accountants’
customary policies and procedures), provided that, unless (x) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, or (y) the Corporate Credit Rating
assigned by S&P is lower than BBB- and the Corporate Credit Rating assigned by
Moody’s is lower than Baa3, none of the Borrowers shall be required to comply
with this Section 5.01(g) with respect to any of the Lenders, Issuing Bank or
any agents or representatives thereof (other than the Administrative Agent) and
the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more than two times
during any calendar year. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders shall give the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries the opportunity to
participate in any discussions with their independent public accountants.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(g), none of the
Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the
inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any
document, information or other matter (a) in respect of which disclosure to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (or their respective agents
or representatives) is prohibited by (i) applicable law, or (ii) so long as an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under
the Bankruptcy Code has not occurred, a bona fide arm’s length third party
contract with a Person who is not an Affiliate of Rayonier or of any of its
Subsidiaries, or (b) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege.

permit preparation of their Consolidated financial statements in accordance with
GAAP.
(i)    Maintenance of Properties, Etc. Maintain and preserve, and cause each of

condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(j)    Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its Subsidiaries
to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under this Agreement with any
of their Affiliates on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable
to the applicable Borrower or such Subsidiary than it would obtain in a
comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate other than:
(i)    transactions between any Borrower and any of Rayonier’s Wholly Owned
Subsidiaries;
(ii)    transactions among Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of any Borrower;
(iii)    transactions among Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of any Borrower;

Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, at any time when Rayonier is subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 13(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, Rayonier shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of clauses
(i), (ii), (v) and (vi) above, if Rayonier shall include such information in
timely filings made with the SEC by Rayonier.
(l)    Farm Credit Equity. (i) So long as a Farm Credit Lender is a Lender or
Voting Participant hereunder, each Borrower in favor of which any Advances are
to be made or are outstanding, will acquire equity in such Farm Credit Lender in
such amounts and at such times as such Farm Credit Lender may require in
accordance with such Farm Credit Lender’s bylaws and capital plan or similar
documents (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum
amount of equity that each such Borrower may be required to purchase in such
Farm Credit Lender in connection with the portion of the Advances made by such
Farm Credit Lender may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the applicable
bylaws, capital plan and related documents (x) at the time this Agreement is
entered into or (y) in the case of a Farm Credit Lender that becomes a Lender or
Voting Participant as a result of an assignment or sale of participation, at the
time of the closing of

76    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the related assignment or sale of participation. Each such Borrower acknowledges
receipt of documents from each Farm Credit Lender that describe the nature of
the applicable Borrower(s)’ stock and other equities in such Farm Credit Lender
acquired in connection with its patronage loan from such Farm Credit Lender (the
“Farm Credit Equities”) as well as applicable capitalization requirements, and
agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.
(ii)    Each party hereto acknowledges that each Farm Credit Lender’s bylaws,
capital plan and similar documents (as each may be amended from time to time)
shall govern (x) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the
Farm Credit Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on
account thereof or on account of a Borrower’s patronage with such Farm Credit
Lender, (y) a Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from such Farm
Credit Lender (in the form of Farm Credit Equities and cash) and (z) patronage
distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. Each
Farm Credit Lender reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or
any part of its Commitments or outstanding Advances hereunder on a non-patronage
basis in accordance with Section 8.07; provided, that if Rayonier’s consent to
such assignment or sale of a participation by such Farm Credit Lender is
required pursuant to Section 8.07(b)(iii) or Section 8.07(f), as applicable, the
parties hereto agree that, solely with respect to Rayonier’s ability to
reasonably withhold consent to such transfer because of an expected reduction in
patronage distributions to the applicable Borrower (it being understood and
agreed that Rayonier may have another basis for reasonably withholding consent
to such transfer), (A) if the transferring Farm Credit Lender has not delivered
a Farm Credit Lender Transfer Certificate (as defined below) to Rayonier, then
Rayonier may withhold its consent to such assignment or sale in its sole
discretion (and in such case, Rayonier shall be deemed to have acted
reasonably), and (B) if the transferring Farm Credit Lender has delivered a Farm
Credit Lender Transfer Certificate to Rayonier, then Rayonier may not withhold
its consent to such assignment or sale (and any such withholding of consent
shall be deemed unreasonable). For purposes hereof, “Farm Credit Lender Transfer
Certificate” means a certificate executed by an officer of the transferring Farm
Credit Lender and certifying to Rayonier that such transferring Farm Credit
Lender has used commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the relevant
assignment or sale or a participation with another entity that would be expected
to make patronage distributions to the applicable Borrower on a going forward
basis that are consistent with (or better than) those that the applicable
Borrower could reasonably have expected to have received from such transferring
Farm Credit Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only those
entities which have made Borrowings hereunder shall be required to purchase Farm
Credit Equities pursuant to this Agreement. Any Advances made to a Borrower
shall result in the accrual of patronage refunds or distributions for the
benefit of such Borrower, and such patronage refunds or distributions shall be
payable directly for the account of such Borrower.

77    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Each party hereto acknowledges that each Farm Credit Lender has a
statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from
time to time) on all Farm Credit Equities of such Farm Credit Lender that any
Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for
such Farm Credit Lender’s sole and exclusive benefit. The Farm Credit Equities
of a particular Farm Credit Lender shall not constitute security for the
Obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan
Documents create a Lien on the Farm Credit Equities of a Farm Credit Lender or
on patronage accrued by such Farm Credit Lender for the account of a Borrower
(including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for such Farm
Credit Lender’s sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata
sharing hereunder. Neither the Farm Credit Equities nor any accrued patronage
shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of
Default, a Farm Credit Lender may elect, solely at its discretion, to apply the
cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts
due under this Agreement. The Borrowers acknowledge that any corresponding tax
liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of such
Borrower. No Farm Credit Lender shall have an obligation to retire the Farm
Credit Equities of such Farm Credit Lender upon any Event of Default, Default or
any other default by the applicable Borrower, or at any other time, either for
application to the Obligations or otherwise.
SECTION 5.02.    Rayonier’s Additional Affirmative Covenants. In addition to the
affirmative covenants set forth in Section 5.01, Rayonier hereby agrees that for
so long as any of the Commitments remains in effect, any Advance remains
outstanding and unpaid, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (unless the
outstanding amount of the LC Exposure related to such Letter of Credit has been
Cash Collateralized), or any obligation of any Borrower is owing to any Lender,
the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (other than contingent obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f),
shall survive the payment in full of all other amounts referred to in such
Section 8.04(f) and obligations that become owing under any Letter of Credit
that has been Cash Collateralized), Rayonier shall:
(a)    Corporate Credit Ratings. Use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
at all times a Corporate Credit Rating by Moody’s and S&P.
(b)    Maintenance of NYSE Listing. Maintain at all times the listing of its
common shares of beneficial interest on the New York Stock Exchange (or on
another nationally recognized securities exchange) and not take any action that
results in a proceeding to delist such common shares.
(c)    Maintenance of REIT Status. Maintain material compliance with Section 856
and any other applicable provisions of the Code necessary to maintain its REIT
status.
SECTION 5.03.    Negative Covenants. Rayonier hereby agrees that for so long as
the Commitments remain in effect, any Advance remains outstanding and unpaid,
any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (unless the outstanding amount of the
LC Exposure related to such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized), or
any obligation of any Borrower is owing to any Lender,

78    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (other than contingent obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f),
shall survive the payment in full of all other amounts referred to in such
Section 8.04(f) and obligations that become owing under any Letter of Credit
that has been Cash Collateralized), Rayonier shall not:
(a)    Dividends. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under
Section 6.01(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing or would immediately
result therefrom, make, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make, any
Restricted Payments, other than Restricted Payments necessary for each of
Rayonier and any of its Subsidiaries that are REITs to maintain their respective
tax status as a REIT. If an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) shall have
occurred and be continuing, Rayonier shall not make, and shall not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to make, any Restricted Payments whatsoever. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any Subsidiary of Rayonier
can make at any time Restricted Payments to Rayonier, any other Subsidiary of
Rayonier or any other Person that owns Capital Stock in such Subsidiary of
Rayonier, ratably according to their respective equity ownership of the type of
Capital Stock in respect of which such Restricted Payment is being made.
(b)    Liens, Etc. Create or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Subsidiaries
to create or suffer to exist, any Lien on or with respect to any of its
properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than:
(i)    Permitted Liens;
(ii)    [reserved];
(iii)    Liens existing on property at the time of its acquisition (other than
any such Lien created in contemplation of such acquisition); provided that (A)
such Liens do not at any time encumber any property other than the property so
acquired, replacements for such property and additions and accessions to such
property, and the proceeds and the products thereof, and (B) such Liens do not
at any time extend to or cover any assets (except for additions and accessions
to such property, replacements and products thereof and customary security
deposits) other than the property so acquired;
(iv)    Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged
into or consolidated with Rayonier or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a
Subsidiary of Rayonier; provided that such Liens were not created in
contemplation of such merger, consolidation or acquisition and do not extend to
any assets other than those of the Person so merged into or consolidated with
Rayonier or such Subsidiary or acquired by Rayonier or such Subsidiary,
(v)    the Liens described on Schedule 5.03(b);
(vi)    the replacement, extension or renewal of any Lien permitted by clauses
(ii) through (v) above upon or in the same property theretofore subject thereto

79    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or the replacement, extension or renewal (without increase in the amount or
change in any direct or contingent obligor) of the Debt secured thereby; and
(vii)    other Liens securing Debt; provided that the principal amount of Debt
secured pursuant to this clause (vii) shall not in the aggregate at any time
outstanding exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of Rayonier and
its Subsidiaries determined as of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for
which financial statements have been or are required to have been delivered
pursuant to Section 5.01(k).
(c)    Mergers, Consolidations, Etc. Merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate
with or into any Person, or Dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a
series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now
owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any Person, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to do so, other than, so long as, in each case, (x) no Default or
Event of Default would be continuing immediately after giving effect thereto or
would result immediately therefrom, (y) each of the representations and
warranties made by each Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be
true and correct in all material respects (both before and after giving effect
to such transaction), and (z) Rayonier shall be in compliance with the covenants
set forth in Section 5.04 (calculated on a pro forma basis, as of the date of
the consummation of such transaction but based upon the most recently ended
Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been or are required to have
been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(k)):

dissolution or liquidation of ROC or TRS) the assets of which are transferred to
Rayonier and/or one of its Subsidiaries;
(ii)    the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary of Rayonier with or into
Rayonier; provided that Rayonier shall be the continuing or surviving Person;

Rayonier) with or into Rayonier; provided that Rayonier shall be the continuing

with or into a Subsidiary of Rayonier; provided that if such Subsidiary of
Rayonier is a Borrower, the Borrower shall be the surviving Person;
(vi)    the merger by any Subsidiary of Rayonier (other than a Borrower) with
and into any other Person, provided that, if such Subsidiary is not the
continuing or surviving Person and if the assets of such Subsidiary consist of
Timberlands and/or Timber, such merger shall be deemed a Disposition of
Timberland and/or Timber

80    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and shall be permitted only if such a Disposition would otherwise be permitted
by Section 5.03(d);
(vii)    the Disposition by any Subsidiary of Rayonier of all or substantially

all of its assets constituting a Disposition of Capital Stock of another
Subsidiary of Rayonier that is owned by such Subsidiary: provided that if the

Rayonier that directly or indirectly owns Timberland and/or Timber, such
Disposition would otherwise be permitted by Section 5.03(h).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) above,
solely if the purpose of such merger is to reorganize Rayonier under the laws of
another state of the United States of America (or District of Columbia), the
surviving entity may be an entity other than Rayonier, in which case the

exchange or Disposition, as applicable, would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect; and
(ii)    Rayonier and its Subsidiaries may Dispose of other Timberlands and/or

For purposes of clarification, (x) this subsection (d) shall not apply to
Dispositions of Timberlands and/or Timber by Rayonier to any Subsidiary of

Rayonier, provided that the consideration for each such Disposition to any

agreed that if the consideration received with respect to such a Disposition to
a Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary is not at least equal to the Fair Market Value of
the Timberlands and/or Timber subject thereto, then the amount equal to the
difference between the Net Consideration received and the Net Consideration that
would have been received had the consideration received been at least equal to
the Fair Market Value of the Timberland and/or Timber so disposed (such amount,
the “Shortfall Amount”) shall constitute Net Consideration for purposes of
clause (ii) above (with respect to the subject Disposition and for future
Dispositions) and be permitted only if permitted under clause (ii) above after

principal amount thereof outstanding immediately prior to such extension,
refinancing or replacement, (y) the Refinanced Debt is an obligation of only
some or all of the Person(s) who were obligors on the Refinanced Debt, and (z)

Dispose of, any shares of Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Rayonier that are
owned by Rayonier or any such Subsidiary except (i) to ROC, TRS or any other
Subsidiary of Rayonier or (ii) to any Person not specified in the foregoing
clause (i) other than for cash or other consideration which represents the Fair
Market Value at the time of Disposition of the shares of such Capital Stock so
Disposed of, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii) if the assets of
such Subsidiary in which the Capital Stock is owned or any other Subsidiary
owned, directly or indirectly by such Subsidiary consist of Timberlands and/or
Timber, then such Disposition of the shares of Capital Stock shall be deemed to
be a Disposition of Timberland and permitted under this Section 5.03(h) only if
such a Disposition would be permitted under Section 5.03(d), (with, in the case
of a Disposition permitted under clause (ii) of Section 5.03(d), the reference

Disposition permitted under clause (ii) of Section 5.03(d), the reference to
Fair Market Value in clause (x) thereof deemed to be a reference to the Fair
Market Value of the shares of Capital Stock issued and the reference to Net
Consideration in clause (y) thereof deemed to be a reference to the Net
Consideration received from such issuance of Capital Stock); provided, however,

that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to (A) any issuance of any shares
or other ownership units of any class or type of Capital Stock issued to
Rayonier or a Subsidiary of Rayonier, or (B) any issuance of any shares or other
ownership units of any class or type of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of
Rayonier issued to a Person that is not Rayonier or a Subsidiary of Rayonier as
consideration for a contribution of Timberland and/or Timber to a Subsidiary of
Rayonier or in return for any other capital contribution so long as, in the case
of this clause (B), such issuance does not dilute the value of the Capital Stock
then owned by Rayonier or its Subsidiary in such a Subsidiary at the time of
such issuance (it being understood and agreed that if such issuance does cause a
dilution, such issuance shall constitute a Disposition that is permitted only if
permitted under this Section 5.03(i); provided, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the amount of Net Consideration included for purposes of
clause (ii)(y) of Section 5.03(d) shall be limited to the amount of such
dilution). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.03(i) shall not apply to
any issuance by ROC of any shares or other ownership units of any class or type
of its Capital Stock at any time after Rayonier has reorganized its corporate
organizational structure to implement an “umbrella partnership” real estate
investment trust structure.

deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or
interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order or any other
Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Corruption Law applicable to it, or (c) engage in or
conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose
of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set
forth in any Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Corruption Law applicable to it (and the
Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any certification or other
evidence requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion, confirming Borrowers’ compliance with this clause (j)).
(k)    Sanctions. Directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Borrowing, or
lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary,
joint venture partner or other individual or entity, to fund any activities of
or business with any individual or entity, or in any Designated Jurisdiction,
that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any other
manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity (including
any individual or entity participating in the transaction, whether as Lender,
Lead Arranger, Administrative Agent, or otherwise) of Sanctions.
SECTION 5.04.    Financial Covenants. Rayonier hereby agrees that for so long as
any of the Commitments remains in effect, any Advance remains outstanding and
unpaid, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (unless the outstanding amount
of the LC Exposure related to such Letter of Credit has been Cash

(l)    The Guarantee Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be, or shall be
asserted in writing by any Borrower not to be, in full force and effect, other

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request,
or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to each Borrower,
declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances to be terminated,
whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or

including the other amounts payable under this Agreement and under the other

Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including the aggregate amount of
all unreimbursed LC Disbursements) shall become and be forthwith due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided, however, that
in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to
make Advances shall automatically be terminated, and (B) the Advances and all
such interest thereon, an amount equal to the undrawn and unexpired amount of

made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn
upon, all reimbursement obligations shall have been satisfied and all other
obligations of the

88    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

applicable Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been
paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be
returned to such Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled
thereto).

to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting

ARTICLE VII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 7.01.    Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints CoBank to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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

89    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no
Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein
or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties.
SECTION 7.02.    Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any
respective Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
SECTION 7.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in
nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of
doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor
Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of
property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that
is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

90    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 8.03), or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing
by Rayonier, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.
(c)    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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.04.    Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated 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 have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or
increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance
extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. 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 accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 7.05.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document 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 of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the

91    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

syndication of the Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub-agents.
SECTION 7.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative
Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and Rayonier. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to
the Borrowers’ approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
to appoint a successor, which shall be a Farm Credit Lender or a bank with an
office in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, or an Affiliate of any such
Farm Credit Lender or bank with an office in borough of Manhattan in New York
City. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier
day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective
Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above and subject to
the Borrowers’ approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, then the Required Lenders may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Rayonier and
such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with
the Borrowers and subject to the Borrowers’ approval (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any Cash Collateral held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue
to hold such Cash Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent
is appointed), and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by
or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and

92    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the
Borrowers, jointly and severally, 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 retiring or removed Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article VII and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring or removed 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 the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent.
(d)    Any resignation by CoBank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuing Bank and Swing Line
Lender. If CoBank resigns as the Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all
Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the
Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right
to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk
participations pursuant to Section 2.03(d). If CoBank resigns as Swing Line
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for
hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders
to make Revolving Credit Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.19(f). Upon the appointment by the
Borrowers of a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which
successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender),
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender,
as applicable, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to CoBank
to effectively assume the obligations of CoBank with respect to such Letters of
Credit.

such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04.    Costs and Expenses. (a) Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower,
jointly and severally, agrees that it shall pay (i) all reasonable, documented

Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the Facility, the

retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such

98    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

affected Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted
against any Indemnified Party by any Person other than such Indemnified Party
and its Related Parties which arise out of, in connection with, or as a result
of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the 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 property
currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a
Borrower, any Environmental Action, or any liability relating to any

any way to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the
foregoing, a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any
Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or from a breach in bad faith of
such Indemnified Person’s obligations under any Loan Document, or (y) arising
out of, or in connection with, any proceeding that does not involve an act or
omission by any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is
brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than
claims, litigation, investigations or proceedings brought against CoBank in its
capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank or against
any of the financial institutions listed in the recitals to this Agreement in
their respective capacities as bookrunners, syndication agents, arrangers,
documentation agents or any other similar roles or capacities in respect of the
Facility). The Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any
Proceeding effected without Rayonier’s consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if such Proceeding is settled with
Rayonier’s written consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnified
Party in any such Proceeding, then the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party in the manner set forth
above. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an
Indemnified Party shall have requested, in accordance with the foregoing, that
the Borrowers reimburse such Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses in
connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceeding for
which reimbursement is required pursuant to the terms of this provision, the
Borrowers shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without
their written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days
after receipt by Rayonier of such request for reimbursement, and (x) the
Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with
such request for legal or other expenses required to be reimbursed pursuant to
the terms of this provision prior to the date of such settlement.

99    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason
fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing
Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at
such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of
a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid
amounts owed to the Issuing Bank solely in its capacity as such, only the
Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to
be made severally among them based on such Revolving Lenders’ Revolving
Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided, further, 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 (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank in its capacity
as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank in connection
with such capacity.
(d)    Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, but without limiting in any respect the indemnification
obligations of any Borrower under clause (b) above, no party hereto shall
assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party
hereto (and with respect to the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries also),
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, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds
thereof; provided, however that if an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e)
shall have occurred and be continuing, then the waiver made by the Indemnified
Parties under this clause (d) shall immediately terminate, and shall be of no
further force or effect whatsoever. No Indemnified Party referred to in clause
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.
(e)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section 8.04 shall be payable
promptly after demand therefor.
(f)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive
the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.
SECTION 8.05.    Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and

100    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any
such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their
respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank
or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the
Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit
or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so
set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and
deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to
the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of set-off. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective
Affiliates under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify
the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.
SECTION 8.06.    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by each Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender party to this
Agreement as of the Closing Date that such Lender has executed it, and the
Closing Date shall have occurred and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender,
Issuing Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that no
Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
SECTION 8.07.    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. 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, except that no Borrower may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph (b) of this Section 8.07, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 8.07, or (iii) by way of

Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of
the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment
of a Commitment or an Advance, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Rayonier otherwise

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. 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 with respect to the Advance or the Commitment

Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Lender, the Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued
thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of
all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in
accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such
interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recordation thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.07, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall
be a party to this Agreement 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
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 Section 2.12 and 8.03, with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of
this Section 8.07.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of each Borrower, shall maintain, at its address referred to in Section
8.02(a), 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
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available for inspection
by Rayonier and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or any Affiliate or
Subsidiary of any Borrower) (each,

104    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing
Line Lender and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the
indemnity under Section 8.04(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender
to its Participant(s).
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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver which would reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone
any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any
fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to
such participation, that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 8.07; provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee
under paragraph (b) of this Section 8.07. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it
were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.16 as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 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 Rayonier’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 2.15 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f)    Voting Participants. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.07 to the
contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) is the owner of a participation in a
Commitment (including Advances outstanding thereunder) initially in the
aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000; (ii) is, by written notice to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”),
designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of
a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being
called a “Voting Participant”); and (iii) receives the prior written consent of
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall
be entitled to vote for so long as such Farm Credit Lender owns such
participation and notwithstanding any sub-participation by such Farm Credit
Lender (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly
reduced), on a Dollar for Dollar basis, as if such Voting Participant

105    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or
withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action; provided,
however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to fund any
portion of its participation when required to do so, then until such time as all
amounts of its participation required to have been funded have been funded, such
Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant
to the terms of this Section 8.07(f), and the voting rights of the selling
Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting
Participant’s participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit
Lender designated as a Voting Participant on Schedule 8.07(f) hereto shall be a
Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and
without the prior written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any
Voting Participant, (A) state the full name, as well as all contact information
required for an assignee in the Assignment and Assumption; and (B) state the
Dollar amount of the participation purchased. The selling Lender and the Voting
Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers within three
(3) Business Days of any termination of, reduction or increase in the amount of,
such participation. The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to
this Section 8.07(f). The voting rights in this Section 8.07(f) are solely for
the benefit of the Voting Participants and shall not inure to any assignee or
participant of a Voting Participant that is not itself a Voting Participant.
(g)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may 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; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 8.08.    Rayonier as Agent. Each of ROC and TRS hereby designates and
appoints Rayonier as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes
of issuing notices and reports, delivering certificates, giving instructions,
receiving notices and granting consents hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with
covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents.
Rayonier hereby accepts such appointment.
SECTION 8.09.    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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 required or requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its
Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d)
to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan

106    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder in which case
of the foregoing clauses (b), (c) and (e), the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and the Issuing Bank agree (except with respect to any audit or examination
conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority
exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and
not prohibited by applicable law, to inform Rayonier thereof (and in the case of
any subpoena or similar legal process or proceeding and to the extent
practicable, to inform Rayonier in advance); (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.09, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii)
any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative
or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any
Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a
confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any
Borrower or its respective Subsidiaries or the Facility, or (ii) the CUSIP
Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility; (h) with the consent
of Rayonier; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.09, or (y)
becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or
any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than a Borrower.
For purposes of this Section 8.09, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any
of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or
any Subsidiary of any Borrower; provided that, in the case of information
received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower after the Closing
Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential; provided, further, that, in the case of financial information and
information provided pursuant to clause (f) of the definition of “Net
Consideration” (except, in each case, to the extent publicly available) received
from any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower after the Closing Date, such
financial information and information provided pursuant to clause (f) of the
definition of “Net Consideration” shall be deemed confidential unless it is
identified as “public” or “nonconfidential” information at the time of delivery.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section 8.09 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 8.10.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) Governing Law. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or
cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to
any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

107    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or
description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or
otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or
any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum
other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of
New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties
hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such
courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    Waiver of Venue. Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred
to in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.10. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.
(d)    Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of
process at the address provided for notices in Section 8.02. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 8.11.    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 are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 8.12.    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).
The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

108    

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 8.13.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
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. Except
as provided in Article III, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic
(i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
SECTION 8.14.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower, and
other information that will allow such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance
with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 8.15.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
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 OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

EXHIBIT A-1 -- FORM OF
REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
Dated:             , 20__
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, [NAME OF A BORROWER], a     [            ]
corporation/limited liability company (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY
to the order of _____________ (the “Lender”) for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office on the Maturity Date (each as defined in the Credit Agreement
referred to below) the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance from
time to time made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2015, among Rayonier Inc., Rayonier TRS
Holdings, Inc. and Rayonier Operating Company LLC, as borrowers, the Lender and
certain other lenders parties thereto and CoBank, ACB, as Issuing Bank, Swing
Line Lender and Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other lenders (as
amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined
therein being used herein as therein defined) outstanding on the Maturity Date.
The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
[See attached].

Exh. C-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of August 5, 2015 (this “Agreement”), among (a)
RAYONIER INC., a North Carolina corporation (“Rayonier”), (b) RAYONIER TRS
HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (“TRS”), (c) RAYONIER OPERATING COMPANY
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company(“ROC”), and (d) COBANK, ACB, as
administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Guaranteed Parties (as
defined below).
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 5, 2015 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), among
Rayonier, TRS and ROC, as borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the “Lenders”) and CoBank, ACB, as Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank”), as Swing
Line Lender (the “Swing Line Lender”) and as Administrative Agent.
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them
in the Credit Agreement.
It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement that
the Guarantors (as defined below) execute and deliver this Agreement.
Each of the Guarantors is a Borrower under (and as defined in) the Credit
Agreement and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the
making of the Advances by the Lenders and the issuance of the Letters of Credit
by the Issuing Bank.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    Certain Defined Terms. In addition to words and terms defined elsewhere in
this Agreement, the following words and terms shall have the following meanings,
respectively, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise:
“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et
seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.
“Excluded Hedge Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Hedge
Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guarantee of such
Guarantor of such Hedge Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes
illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official
interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any
reason not to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the
Commodity Exchange Act (determined after giving effect to Section 21 and any
other “keepwell, support or other agreements” for the benefit of such Guarantor)
at the time the Guarantee of, or the grant of such security interest by, such
Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such related Hedge Obligation. If a
Hedge Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap,
such exclusion shall apply only to

Exh. C-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the portion of such Hedge Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which
such Guarantee or grant of security interest is or becomes illegal.
“Hedge Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay
or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a
“swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Hedge Obligation, each
Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant
Guarantee or grant of security interest becomes effective with respect to such
Hedge Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an “eligible contract
participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated
thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract
participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section
1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
2.    Guarantees. (a) Revolving Credit Facility. Each of Rayonier, TRS and ROC
(each a “Revolving Guarantor” and collectively, the “Revolving Guarantors”)
unconditionally guarantees, jointly with each other Revolving Guarantor and
severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (i) the due and
punctual payment by each Borrower (other than itself) of (x) the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the
pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar
proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on
the Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower, when
and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for
prepayment or otherwise, (y) each payment required to be made by such Borrower
under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due,
including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest
thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, and (z) all other monetary
obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary,
secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary
obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding), of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Facility
and the Swing Line Facility established under the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Guaranteed Parties”),
whether such amounts shall have accrued prior to, on or after the Closing Date,
(ii) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants, agreements,
obligations and liabilities of each Borrower (other than itself), monetary or
otherwise, under or pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of
Credit Facility and the Swing Line Facility established under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iii) the due and punctual payment
and performance of all obligations, monetary or otherwise, under each Guaranteed
Hedge and Guaranteed Bank Product (all the monetary and other obligations
referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively called the
“Revolving Credit Obligations”).
(b) Term Loan Facility. Each of Rayonier and TRS (collectively, the “Term Loan
Guarantors”, and, together with the Revolving Credit Guarantors, the
“Guarantors”) unconditionally guarantees, jointly with each other Term Loan
Guarantor and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (i)
the due and punctual payment by ROC of (x) the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy,
insolvency,

Exh. C-3

receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding) on the Term Loan Advances made to ROC, when and as

Administrative Agent and each Lender under the Term Loan Facility established
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Term
Loan Guaranteed Parties”, and, together with the Revolving Credit Guaranteed
Parties, the “Guaranteed Parties”), whether such amounts shall have accrued
prior to, on or after the Closing Date and (ii) the due and punctual payment and
performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of ROC,
monetary or otherwise, under or pursuant to the Term Loan Facility established
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (all the monetary and
other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being
collectively called the “Term Loan Obligations”, and, together with the
Revolving Credit Obligations, the “Obligations”). For the avoidance of doubt,
the Obligations shall not include any Excluded Hedge Obligation.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of TRS and ROC hereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate
amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such obligations
subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of
Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable law
(collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect
to all other liabilities of TRS and ROC contingent or otherwise, that are
relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to
the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent
Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
indemnity or similar rights of TRS and ROC, as the case may be, pursuant to (i)
applicable law, or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation
among TRS or ROC, as the case may be, and other Affiliates of Rayonier of
obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties.
Each Revolving Guarantor further agrees that the Revolving Credit Obligations
may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further
assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding
any extension or renewal of any Revolving Credit Obligation. Each Term Loan
Guarantor further agrees that the Term Loan Obligations may be extended or
renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and
that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Term Loan Obligation.
3.     Obligations Not Waived. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, each Revolving Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the applicable Borrower and any other guarantor of any of the
Revolving Credit Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its
guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, the obligations of each Revolving Guarantor hereunder shall
not be affected by, and each Revolving Guarantor hereby waives any defense
arising by reason of, (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other
Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or
exercise any right or remedy against the applicable Borrower or

Exh. C-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any other guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification
of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with
respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, or (iii) the failure to
take or perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral
security held by or on behalf of any Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Term Loan
Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to ROC and
any other guarantor of any of the Term Loan Obligations, and also waives notice
of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Term Loan
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by, and each Term Loan Guarantor
hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, (i) the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any other Term Loan Guaranteed Party to assert any claim
or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against ROC or any other
guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document
or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any
other Term Loan Guarantor under this Agreement, or (iii) the failure to take or
perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral security
held by or on behalf of any Term Loan Guaranteed Party.
4.     Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any
other Guaranteed Party to any collateral security held for payment of the
Obligations or any balance of any deposit or other account or credit on the
books of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in favor of the
applicable Borrower or any other person.
5.     No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. (a) The obligations of each
Revolving Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in

Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the
Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such
Section 8.04(f)), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration
or compromise of any of the applicable Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations,
and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of such Revolving Credit Obligations, any law or regulation of
any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Revolving Credit
Obligation or any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of the
applicable Borrower or any Revolving Guarantor. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the obligations of each Revolving Guarantor hereunder shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or
otherwise, in the performance

Exh. C-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the applicable Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations, or by any other act
or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
any Revolving Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each
Revolving Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all of the applicable Borrower’s Revolving Credit
Obligations), and each Revolving Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by
reason of any of the foregoing actions.

referred to in such Section 8.04(f)), including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise of any of ROC’s Term Loan Obligations, and
shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of such Term Loan Obligations, any law or regulation of any
jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Term Loan Obligation or
any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of ROC or any Term Loan
Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Term Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Term
Loan Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy
under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by
any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default,
failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of ROC’s Term Loan
Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or
to any extent vary the risk of any Term Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise
operate as a discharge of each Term Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of ROC’s Term Loan
Obligations), and each Term Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by
reason of any of the foregoing actions.
6.    Defenses of Borrower Waived. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each of the Revolving Guarantors waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of the applicable Borrower or the unenforceability of

any cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the applicable
Borrower (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of such
Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations except contingent indemnification and
reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit
Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in
full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)). The Administrative
Agent and the other Revolving Credit Guaranteed Parties may, at their election,
foreclose on any collateral security held by one or more of them by one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral
security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the applicable
Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations, make any other accommodation with the
applicable Borrower or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy
available to them against the applicable Borrower or any other guarantor,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Revolving
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the applicable Borrower’s Revolving
Credit Obligations have been fully, finally and

Exh. C-6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Revolving
Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such
election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Revolving
Guarantor against the applicable Borrower, any other Revolving Guarantor or
guarantor, as the case may be, or any collateral security.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Term Loan
Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of ROC or
the unenforceability of ROC’s Term Loan Obligations or any part thereof from any
cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability of ROC (other than the
final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of ROC’s Term Loan Obligations
except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant
to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the
Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such
Section 8.04(f)). The Administrative Agent and the other Term Loan Guaranteed
Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral security held by one
or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such collateral security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of ROC’s Term Loan Obligations, make any other accommodation
with ROC or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available
to them against ROC or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in
any way the liability of any Term Loan Guarantor hereunder except to the extent
ROC’s Term Loan Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in
cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Term Loan Guarantors waives any
defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates,
pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Term Loan
Guarantor against ROC, any other Term Loan Guarantor or guarantor, as the case
may be, or any collateral security.
7.    Agreement to Pay; Subordination. (a) In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other
Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party has at law or in equity against any Revolving
Guarantor by virtue hereof, each Revolving Guarantor hereby agrees that, upon
the failure of any Borrower (other than itself) to pay any of its Revolving
Credit Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Revolving
Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the
Administrative Agent or such other Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party as
designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Revolving Credit
Obligations. Upon payment by any Revolving Guarantor of any sums to the
Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party as provided above,
all rights of such Revolving Guarantor against the applicable Borrower arising
as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right
of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
respective Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations. In addition, any
indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any Revolving Guarantor is
hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the
Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall
erroneously be paid to any Revolving Guarantor on account of (i) such
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, or (ii)
any such indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Revolving Credit Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the

Exh. C-7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the applicable
Borrower’s Revolving Credit Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right
that the Administrative Agent or any other Term Loan Guaranteed Party has at law
or in equity against any Term Loan Guarantor by virtue hereof, each Term Loan
Guarantor hereby agrees that, upon the failure of ROC to pay any of its Term
Loan Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Term Loan Guarantor
hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the
Administrative Agent or such other Term Loan Guaranteed Party as designated
thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Term Loan Obligations. Upon payment by
any Term Loan Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Term Loan
Guaranteed Party as provided above, all rights of such Term Loan Guarantor
against ROC arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in
full in cash of all ROC’s Term Loan Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness
of ROC now or hereafter held by any Term Loan Guarantor is hereby subordinated
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations
during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be
paid to any Term Loan Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, or (ii) any such
indebtedness of ROC, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Term Loan Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative
Agent to be credited against the payment of ROC’s Term Loan Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
8.    Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of each applicable Borrower’s financial condition
and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such
Borrower’s Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the
Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties will have any duty to
advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding
such circumstances or risks.
9.    Representations and Warranties; Taxes. Each of the Guarantors represents
and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it
contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and
correct in all material respects except for representations and warranties which
by their terms refer to an earlier date (in which case such representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier
date) and except for representations and warranties which are qualified by
materiality (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and
correct). Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Section 2.15 of the
Credit Agreement shall apply equally to each Guarantor with respect to the
payments made by it hereunder.
10.     Termination. (a) The Guarantees made by the Revolving Guarantors
hereunder with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations (i) shall terminate
when all the Revolving Credit Obligations except contingent indemnification and
reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to

Exh. C-8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the
Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such
Section 8.04(f), have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no
further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been
reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the Issuing Bank has no further
obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any Revolving Credit Obligation is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by any Revolving Credit Guaranteed Party or any
Revolving Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any
Revolving Guarantor or otherwise.
(b)    The Guarantees made by the Term Loan Guarantors hereunder with respect to
the Term Loan Obligations (i) shall terminate when all the Term Loan Obligations
except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant
to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the
Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such
Section 8.04(f), have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no
further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of any Term Loan Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored by any Term Loan Guaranteed Party or any Term Loan Guarantor upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of ROC or any Term Loan Guarantor or otherwise.
11.    Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this
Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants,
promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective
as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such
Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of such Guarantor the Administrative Agent and the other applicable
Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no
Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder or any interest herein (except in connection with any transaction
permitted by Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d) of the Credit Agreement) (and
any such attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and
void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to
each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released
with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and
without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
12.    Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent
in exercising any power or right 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 Administrative Agent hereunder
and of the other Guaranteed Parties 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 this Agreement

Exh. C-9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case
shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the
Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates
and the Administrative Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
13.     Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or
otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth
therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
14.    Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and
given as provided in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.
15.    Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Credit
Guaranteed Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Revolving
Credit Advances, Swing Line Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by
the Issuing Bank regardless of any investigation made by the Revolving Credit
Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving
Credit Advance, Swing Line Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid, the LC Exposure
does not equal zero or has not been Cash Collateralized or the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the LC Commitment have not been terminated.
(b)    All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Term Loan Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments
prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and the other Term Loan Guaranteed Parties and shall
survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loan Advances regardless of any
investigation made by the Term Loan Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Term Loan Advance or any other fee or amount payable
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid, or
the Term Loan Commitments have not been terminated.
(c)    In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way

Exh. C-10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
16.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section
10. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
17.    Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Article
I of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.
18.    Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action,
litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity,
whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent,
any Guaranteed Party, the Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of the foregoing in
any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of
the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and of the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 in any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed
Party or the Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or
such Person’s properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to
in clause (a) of Section 18 of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.
(c)    Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process at the
address provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will
affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner
permitted by applicable law.
19.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT

Exh. C-11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT
OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.
20.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Guaranteed Party 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, in
whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing, by such Guaranteed Party or any such Affiliate, to
or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the
obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates,
irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or Affiliate shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to
a branch, office or Affiliate of such Guarantor different from the branch,
office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Guaranteed Party and their respective Affiliates under this
Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of set-off) that such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates may have.
21.    Keepwell. Each Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly
and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
such funds or other support to each other Guarantor as may be needed by such
Guarantor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party with respect to Hedge
Obligations that would, in the absence of the agreement in this Section 21,
otherwise constitute Excluded Hedge Obligations (but, in each case, only up to
the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without
rendering such Borrowers’ and such Qualified ECP Guarantors’ obligations and
undertakings under this Section voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).
The obligations and undertakings of the Borrowers and the Qualified ECP
Guarantors under this Section 21 shall remain in full force and effect until the
Revolving Credit Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid and performed in full. The Borrowers and the Qualified ECP
Guarantors intend this Section 21 to constitute, and this Section 21 shall be
deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Guarantor for all purposes
of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
Date: August 5, 2015
To the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders
party to the Credit Agreement
referred to below:
I, the undersigned, the Chief Financial Officer of Rayonier Inc., a Delaware
Corporation (“Rayonier”), in that capacity only and not in my individual
capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date
hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date
hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and
circumstances after the date hereof), that:
1.    This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
pursuant to Section 3.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2015,
among RAYONIER, RAYONIER TRS HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (“TRS”), and
RAYONIER OPERATING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ROC”;
each of Rayonier, TRS and ROC being referred to herein individually as a
“Borrower”, and collectively as the “Borrowers”), the Lenders from time to time
party thereto and CoBank, ACB (“CoBank”), as administrative agent on behalf of
the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Issuing Bank
and Swing Line Lender (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in
this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following
definitions:
“Fair Value”
The amount at which the aggregate assets of Rayonier and its consolidated
Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, goodwill) would change hands
between an independent willing buyer and an independent willing seller, within a
commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the
relevant facts and neither being under any compulsion to act.
“Present Fair Salable Value”
The amount that may be realized by an independent willing seller from an
independent willing buyer if Rayonier’s and Rayonier’s consolidated
Subsidiaries’ aggregate assets (including, without limitation, goodwill) are
sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present
conditions for the sale of assets of the business comprising such entity in an
existing and not theoretical market.
“Stated Liabilities”

Exh. F-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The aggregate recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would
be recorded as liabilities in accordance with GAAP) of Rayonier and its
consolidated Subsidiaries, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the
extension of the Advances contemplated by the Credit Agreement, determined in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
“Identified Contingent Liabilities”
The reasonably estimated liabilities of Rayonier and its consolidated
Subsidiaries that may result from, without limitation, threatened or pending
litigation, asserted claims and assessments, environmental conditions,
guaranties, indemnities, contract obligations, uninsured risks, purchase
obligations, taxes, and other contingent liabilities of Rayonier and its
consolidated Subsidiaries, as identified and explained in terms of their nature
and estimated dollar amount by responsible officers of Rayonier.
“Does Not Have Unreasonably Small Capital”
This phrase relates to the ability of Rayonier and its consolidated Subsidiaries
to continue as a going concern and not lack sufficient capital for the
businesses in which it is engaged, and will be engaged, as management has
indicated such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted.
“New Financing”

pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for

Agreement;
(b)    I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit
Agreement;
(c)    As the Chief Financial Officer of Rayonier, I am familiar with the
financial condition of Rayonier and its consolidated Subsidiaries; and
(d)    I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed
appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business
anticipated to be conducted by Rayonier and its consolidated Subsidiaries after
the extension of credit (including revolving credit advances and issuance(s) of
letters of credit) contemplated by the Credit Agreement.
4.    Based on the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Rayonier that,
before and after giving effect to the extension of any Revolving Credit Advances
contemplated by the Credit Agreement on the date hereof, (i) the Fair Value and
the Present Fair Saleable Value of the aggregate assets of Rayonier and its
consolidated Subsidiaries exceed the sum of the liabilities of
