LOAN AGREEMENT

This Agreement dated as of October 26, 2004, is between Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”)
and Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership (the “Borrower”). 


	 


	1.	FACILITY NO. 1: LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS
	 	 
	1.1	Line of Credit Amount.
	 	 
	(a)	During the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a line of credit to the Borrower.
The amount of the line of credit (the “Facility No. 1 Commitment”) is Ten Million and 00/100
Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
		 
	(b)	This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal
amounts and reborrow them.
		 
	(c)	The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to exceed the Facility No. 1 Commitment.
If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon
the Bank’s demand.
	 	 
	1.2	Availability Period.  The line of credit is available between the date of this Agreement and
	October 31, 2005, or such earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the “Facility No. 1 Expiration Date”). 
	 
	1.3	Repayment Terms.
	 


	(a)	The Borrower will pay interest on November 30, 2004, and then on the same day of each month thereafter
until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this facility. 
		 
	(b)	The Borrower will repay in full any principal, interest or other charges outstanding under this facility
no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. Any interest period for an optional interest rate
(as described below) shall expire no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. 
	 	 
	1.4 	Interest Rate.
	 	 
	(a)	The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate.
	 	 


	(b)  	The Prime Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime
Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank’s costs
and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point
for pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its customers at, above, or below the Prime Rate.
Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in
the public announcement of a change in the Bank’s Prime Rate.
	 	 
	1.5	Optional Interest Rates.  Instead of the interest rate based on the rate stated in the paragraph
	entitled “Interest Rate” above, the Borrower may elect the optional interest rates listed below for this Facility No. 1 during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower. The optional interest rates shall be subject to the terms and conditions described later in this Agreement. Any principal amount bearing interest at an optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a “Portion.” The following optional interest rates are available:
	 
	(a)     	The LIBOR Rate plus 1.25 percentage point(s).
	 	 
	1.6          	Reduction or Termination of Commitment.  Upon five business days notice to the Bank, the Borrower
	may at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, permanently and irrevocably reduce the Facility No. 1 Commitment in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 to an amount not less than the current amount outstanding at such time or may terminate the Facility No. 1 Commitment. Any reduction or termination of the Facility No. 1 Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid fees with respect to the portion of the Facility No. 1 Commitment being reduced or terminated.

	2.          	OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES
	 	 
	2.1	Optional Rates. Each optional interest rate is a rate per year. Interest will be paid on November  30,
	 2004, and then on the same day of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this facility. No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of optional interest rates for interest periods commencing after the default occurs. At the end of each interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in the paragraph(s) entitled “Interest Rate” above, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the Portion. 
	 	 
	2.2 	LIBOR Rate. The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:
	 	 
	(a)	The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be one month, two months, three
months or six months. The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or
a Sunday on which the Bank is open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars
(a “LIBOR Banking Day”). The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days
during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank
market.
		 
	(b)	Each LIBOR Rate portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($100,000.00).
		 
	(c)	The “LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula, rounded upward
to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank
as of the first day of the interest period.)




	 	LIBOR Rate =	London Inter-Bank Offered Rate	 
	 	 	     (1.00 - Reserve Percentage)	 




	                Where,


		 	 
		(i)	“London Inter-Bank Offered Rate” means the average per annum interest rate at which U.S.
dollar deposits would be offered for the applicable interest period by major banks in the London
inter-bank market, as shown on the Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00
a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period. If such
rate does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750 (or any successor page), the rate for that interest
period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London
Banking Day” is a day on which the Bank’s London Banking Center is open for business and
dealing in offshore dollars.
			 
		(ii)	“Reserve Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the
reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities,
as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent.
The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal,
emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.
			 


	(d)	The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon Pacific time on
the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set,
as specified above. For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the
relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.
		 
	(e)	The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following
described events has occurred and is continuing:
		 


		(i)	Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate
Portion are not available in the London inter-bank market; or
			 
		(ii)	The LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion.


	

2









	(f)	Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise,
will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee
as described below. A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the
scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.
		 
	(g)	The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense
incurred by it as a result of the prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss
or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such
Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower
shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in
fact so funded.
	 	 
	3.	FEES AND EXPENSES
	 	 


	3.1	Fees.
	 	 
	(a)	Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the Facility No. 1 Commitment and the
amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the average of the daily amount of credit outstanding
during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at 0.25% per year. 
		 
	 	This fee is due on December 31, 2004, and on the same day of each following quarter until the expiration
of the availability period.
		 
	(b)	Waiver Fee.  If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrower
will, at the Bank’s option, pay the Bank a fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised
by the Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph
shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrower.
The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.
		 
	(c)	Late Fee.  To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed
four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late. The imposition and payment
of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default.




	3.2	Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the Bank for expenses that include, but are
	not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal fees, title report fees, and documentation fees.
	 	 
	3.3 	Reimbursement Costs.
	 	 
	(a)	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement
and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited
to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel
to the extent permitted by applicable law.
	 	 
	4.	DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
	 	 


	4.1	Disbursements and Payments.
	 	 
	(a)	Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by direct
debit to a deposit account as specified below or, for payments not required to be made by direct
debit, by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s
banking centers in the United States.
		 
	(b)	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by
the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more
promissory notes.


	

3









	4.2	Telephone and Telefax Authorization.
	 	 
	(a)	The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments or for the designation
of optional interest rates given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized
to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one
of such authorized signers.
		 
	(b)	Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number 67171710 owned by
the Borrower or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing
by the Borrower. 
		 
	(c)	The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection
with any act pursuant to the terms of this Agreement resulting from telephone or telefax instructions
the Bank reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions.
This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its
officers, employees, and agents.
	 	 


	4.3 	Direct Debit (Pre-Billing).
	 	 
	(a)	The Borrower agrees that the Bank will debit deposit account number 67171710 owned by the Borrower
or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower
(the “Designated Account”) on the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees
from the Borrower becomes due (the “Due Date”).
		 
	(b)	Prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be
due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The bill will be mailed a specified number
of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to
time by the Bank and the Borrower. The calculations in the bill will be made on the assumption that
no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and
the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate.
		 
	(c)	The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due
on that date (the “Accrued Amount”). If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account
differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows:
		 


		(i) 	If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date
will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by reason
of any such discrepancy.
			 
		(ii) 	If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date
will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.
			 


	 	Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of
principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment.
		 
	(d)	The Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to cover each debit. If there
are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any debit authorized
by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.
	 	 
	4.4 	Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a
	Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.
	 	 
	4.5 	Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will
	be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.
	 
	4.6	Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding
	under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.

addition, if any event of default occurs, the Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies available
under any instruments and agreements required by or executed in connection with this Agreement, as

related entities or affiliates has with the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Obligor” shall mean any guarantor, any party pledging collateral to the Bank,
or, if the Borrower is comprised of the trustees of a trust, any trustor. If, in the Bank’s

under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Bank gives written
notice of the breach to the Borrower. 

8.3           Cross-default. Any default occurs under any agreement in connection with any credit the Borrower (or any Obligor)
or any of the Borrower’s related entities or affiliates has obtained from anyone else or which
the Borrower (or any Obligor) or any of the Borrower’s related entities or affiliates has guaranteed

mortgage, or other document required by or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any such

in this Article. This includes any failure or anticipated failure by the Borrower (or any other party
named in the Covenants section) to comply with the financial covenants set forth in this Agreement,
whether such failure is evidenced by financial statements delivered to the Bank or is otherwise known
to the Borrower or the Bank. If, in the Bank’s opinion, the breach is capable of being remedied,
the breach will not be considered an event of default under this Agreement for a period of thirty
(30) days after the date on which the Bank gives written notice of the breach to the Borrower. 

9.             ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT;
MISCELLANEOUS

applied.

9.4           Arbitration and Waiver of Jury Trial

	 


	(a)	This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether
arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that
arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications);
or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes
of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation,
subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any
obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.
		 
	(b)	At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act
will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
		 
	(c)	Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures
for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (“JAMS”), and the terms
of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control.
		 
	(d)	The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any
U. S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if
there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement.
All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All
arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close
within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within
thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good
cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s)
shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be
submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.
		 
	(e)	The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations
and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute
of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim
is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to
award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.


	

11









	(f)	This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but
not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court
of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession
or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
		 
	(g)	The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including
the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.
		 
	(h)	By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit
this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and
voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision
is a material inducement for the parties entering into this agreement.


	 
	
9.5           Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The
Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default. If the Bank waives a default, it
may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing.

9.6           Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred
by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this
Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and in connection with
any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this Agreement. In the event of
a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined
by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under
the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank
is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to
the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. As used in
this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel.

9.7           Intentionally omitted.   

9.8           One Agreement. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required by this Agreement, collectively:

	 


	(a)	represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning
this credit;
		 
	(b)	replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit;
and
		 
	(c)	are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms
agreed to by them.


	 
	
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this Agreement,
this Agreement will prevail. Any reference in any related document to a “promissory note”
or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be
deemed to refer to this Agreement, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.

ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT
OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.

9.9           Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments,
and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or
any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower
hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any
such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes but is not limited to attorneys’
fees (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its
parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys,
and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank.
All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and payable immediately
without demand.
