“Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges” and “Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to, without duplication (a) the incurrence
or repayment of any Debt of RFR or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and, in the case of any incurrence, the application of the net proceeds thereof) during the period commencing on the first day of the Four Quarter Period to and including the
Transaction Date (the “Reference Period”), including, without limitation, the incurrence of the Debt giving rise to the need to make such calculation (and the application of the net proceeds thereof), as if such incurrence (and
application) occurred on the first day of the Reference Period (including any actual interest payments made with respect to Debt under the Working Capital Facility), and (b) any Asset Sales or Asset Acquisitions (including, without limitation,

Consolidated Fixed Charges 

  

 21 








 
subsequent to the date of determination of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and (ii) Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges
generated by an acquired business or asset shall be determined (x) in the case of an Asset Acquisition of Timber or Timberlands by RFR or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, by using the projected net cash flow of the Timber or

the Asset Acquisition; provided that such harvest plan shall not assume the harvesting or sale of more than 10% (or, in the case of an acquisition under a cutting contract with a term of less than 10 years, such higher percentage as shall be
equal to the quotient of 100% divided by the term of such cutting contract (expressed in years)) of the total merchantable Timber so acquired in the first 12 full months following the date of the Asset Acquisition; and provided

Restricted Subsidiaries in the operation of such acquired business or asset during such period computed on the basis of personnel expenses for employees retained or to be retained by RFR and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the operation of the
acquired business or asset and non-personnel costs and expenses incurred by RFR and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the operation of RFR’s business at similarly situated facilities. If the applicable Reference Period for any calculation of the
RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall include a portion prior to the Closing Date, then such RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated based upon the Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and the
Consolidated Fixed Charges of RFR on a pro forma basis for such portion of the Reference Period prior to the Closing Date, giving effect to the transactions occurring on the Closing Date, and the Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges
and the Consolidated Fixed Charges for the remaining portion of the Reference Period on and after the Closing Date, giving pro forma effect, as described in the two foregoing sentences, to all applicable transactions occurring on the Closing Date or
otherwise. Furthermore, in calculating “Consolidated Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the “RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” (i) interest on outstanding Debt (other than Debt referred to in clause
(ii) below) determined on a fluctuating basis as of the last day of the Four Quarter Period and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such
Debt in effect on such date; (ii) only actual interest payments associated with Debt incurred in accordance with clause (d) of the definition of RFR Permitted Debt and all RFR Permitted Refinancing Debt in respect thereof, during the Four
Quarter Period shall be included in such calculation; and (iii) if interest of any Debt actually incurred on such date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank
offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the last day of the Four Quarter Period will be deemed to have been in effect during such period.

Advance. If no election as to Type of Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified in any such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, then such Revolving Credit Advances shall be Alternate Base Rate Advances. If
no Interest Period with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances is specified in any such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month duration. Each Lender shall on
the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time), in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), in the case of a Revolving
Credit 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

applicable Borrower in the manner specified by the applicable Borrower in the Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 (b)
Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be
suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.13 and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than eight separate Revolving Credit Borrowings. 
 (c) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower. In the case of any Revolving
Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a
result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02, including, 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 Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit
Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
  

 29 








 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing (in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances) and not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing (in the
case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing to be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Advances) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and
the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the case
of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and Alternate Base Rate thereafter. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) The failure of any Lender to
make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the applicable 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

renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the 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, and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made by all Lenders plus the total LC

renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; 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 Termination Date (each
a “Designated Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Designated Letters of Credit”); provided that on or before the Termination Date, 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. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, until the cause for such cash collateral no longer exists, for the benefits of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as collateral for the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit, cash or deposit accounts balances
in an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of all Designated Letters of Credit outstanding at such time pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to the 

  

 31 








 
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. In the event that the applicable Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit
by the Termination 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 Lenders on the Termination 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 Lender of its pro
rata share of such Revolving Credit Advance to Cash Collateralize the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit on the Termination Date shall be deemed payment by such Lender in respect of its participation in each such Designated Letter of Credit.

 (c) 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 any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank issuing one or more Letters of Credit hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such 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 Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this subsection in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (d) Reimbursement. If the applicable 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 such Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement 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, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the
Business Day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if
such notice is not received prior to such time on the 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 applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the 

  

 32 








 
payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its 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 Lender (and
Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders; provided
that such Borrower shall remain obligated to pay interest on such LC Disbursement until the applicable Issuing Bank is reimbursed for such LC Disbursement in accordance with subsection (g) 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 applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this
subsection to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this subsection to reimburse the applicable 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 applicable Issuing Bank as of date of such payment and the 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 Lender’s participation in the applicable LC Disbursement. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. Each applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in subsection
(d) 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, setoff, 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 applicable
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; 
 (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; 
  

 33 








 (v) payment by the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such 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 such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise the agreed
standard of care (as set forth below) in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that each Issuing Bank shall have exercised the agreed
standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any 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 each 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. 
 (f) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and such Borrower for whose account such
Letter of Credit was issued by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice
shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (g) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse (including with the proceeds of 
  

 34 








 
Revolving Credit Advances as provided in subsection (d) 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 (d) of this Section 2.03) such LC Disbursement when
due pursuant to subsection (d) 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 applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after
the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 2.03 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (h) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. All or a portion of the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrowers, a new Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (with notice to such replaced Issuing Bank); 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 an Issuing Bank. At the time any
such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and shall return to such Issuing Bank any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank (to the extent the aggregate undrawn face amount of its then outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed its revised LC Commitment). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all
the rights and obligations of an 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 all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit in excess of its remaining LC Commitment (if any). 
 SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The
Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender a Facility Fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or, if terminated, its Revolving Credit Advances and LC
Exposure) from the date hereof until the Termination Date at a rate per annum in effect from time to time as set forth in the definition of “Facility Fee” in Section 1.01, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing on September 29, 2006, and on the Termination Date. All Facility 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). 
  

 35 








 (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 to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 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 applicable to interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the average daily aggregate
face 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 Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing
Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the average daily aggregate face amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit of such Issuing Bank issued 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 and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears quarterly on the last
Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the
Termination Date shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this subsection shall be payable promptly after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (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 the respective Commitments of the 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 Revolving Credit Advances. The applicable Borrower shall repay
to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding. 
 SECTION 2.07. Interest on Revolving Credit Advances. (a) Scheduled Interest. The applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Alternate Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is an Alternate Base Rate Advance, a rate
per annum equal at all times to 

  

 36 








 
the sum of (y) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (z) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during such periods. 
 (ii) Eurodollar Rate
Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (y) the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (z) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, 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 Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (b) Default Interest. At any time during which any Borrower shall fail (i) to pay any principal of any Revolving Credit
Advance, any interest on any Revolving Credit 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 5.05, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require the Borrowers to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving
Credit 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
Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) 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 Alternate Base
Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Revolving Credit 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 Alternate Base Rate
interest (when calculated based upon the prime rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year 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 a Revolving Credit Advance resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Reserve Requirements 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. 
 (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. 
  

 37 








 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit
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 Revolving Credit 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 all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type owed by such Borrower and comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Borrowings in Section 2.01 and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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. 
 (b) Mandatory Conversion. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Revolving Credit 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 

  

 38 








 
Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a 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 Revolving Credit Advances. Any Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent 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 and on
the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of the prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall,
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances owing by such Borrower comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing 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 and (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 8.04(c). 
 SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with
any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or to participate or participating in Letters of Credit or any Issuing Bank of agreeing to issue Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from
(i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of
which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such
demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank (as applicable) additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost; provided, however, that
any Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.12 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such change would
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to Rayonier and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority enacted or made after the date hereof (whether
or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank and that 

  

 39 








 
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder or Issuing Bank’s commitment
to issue Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank (as applicable), from time to time as specified by such Lender or Issuing Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such corporation (as
applicable) in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder or Issuing Bank’s
commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Rayonier and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) 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 an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than four months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Rayonier of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the four-month period referred to above shall 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 Revolving Credit 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 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 U.S. 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 the payment of principal or interest or Facility Fees or participation fees or fronting fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable 

  

 40 








 
Lending Offices or the applicable Issuing Bank, and like funds relating 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 applicable Issuing Bank, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 Acceptance, 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 on a pro rata basis subject to all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date. 
 (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 Facility 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. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank (as applicable) on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or Issuing Bank. If and to the extent such
Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank until the date such Lender or Issuing Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent
hereunder, under the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its
overall net income and minimum taxes, alternative minimum taxes, doing business taxes, franchise taxes and value added taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized (federal or state) or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income and minimum taxes, alternative minimum taxes,
doing business taxes, franchise taxes and value added taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes,

by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office (federal or state) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or
under any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (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) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Borrower is organized or operates or any political subdivision thereof, or by
the jurisdiction in which such Borrower’s principal office is located or from which any payments hereunder are made (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The applicable Borrower will indemnify each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that in no event shall any such indemnification be due earlier than five Business Days after such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) has paid such Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, further, that any such demand shall be accompanied by copies of all written correspondence to and from the applicable taxing authority relating to such payment and a copy of the calculation
of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder, under the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside
the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the applicable Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to 

  

 42 








 
furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is
exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender party to this Agreement as of the date hereof or on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time
thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by Rayonier (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and Rayonier with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or
W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or
the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from
Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided,
however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States
withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term “Taxes” shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United
States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax
payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to
include in such form or document such confidential information. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has
failed to provide Rayonier with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent
to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form, certificate or other document required hereunder, each Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes (and such Lender shall reimburse such Borrower for reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Borrower in connection therewith). 
  

 43 








 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that, should any Borrower be required to pay any amounts under
Section 2.15(a) or (c), and such Borrower delivers to each Lender that received such amounts an opinion of counsel that payments to the Lender or the Administrative Agent were not in fact subject to Taxes, each Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with such Borrower, including, but not limited to filing and pursuing a claim of refund in its own name (provided that such Borrower agrees in writing to indemnify and reimburse such Lender for its actual out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with such claim for refund), in obtaining a refund of Taxes, and if such Lender receives a refund of Taxes shall promptly pay such Taxes over to such Borrower together with any interest received by, or credited against the tax
liability of, such Lender to the extent such interest is attributable to such refund of Taxes. 
 (h) If any Lender or Issuing
Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments hereunder or
the Notes, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.15 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall pay to
such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realized such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses in
securing such refund, deduction or credit, provided, in the event that any portion of such refund, deduction or credit is subsequently disallowed, such Borrower shall hold such Lender or Issuing Bank harmless (on an after-tax basis) from such
disallowance. 
 SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving
Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay
to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to
(ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  

 44 








 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender. 
 (b) The Register maintained
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d) 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 Revolving Credit
Borrowing made hereunder, the applicable Borrower thereof, the Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance 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 Revolving Credit Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such
proceeds) solely first, to refinance Debt outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, thereafter, for other general corporate purposes
of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, acquisitions, repayment of Debt and repurchase of Capital Stock). The Letters of Credit are to be used for the general corporate purposes of the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 2.19. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) Rayonier may, at any time prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the
Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased on one or more occasions by an amount in 

  

 45 








 
each case of not less than $25 million and by an amount not more than $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases (each a “Commitment
Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the Increase Date, or shall occur as a result thereof. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by Rayonier for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall
include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of
their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. No Lender shall be obligated or entitled to participate in any Commitment Increase. 
 (c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify Rayonier as to the amount, if any, by which each Lender
is willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase, and Rayonier shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing, which shall in turn notify the Lenders, of the amount of the Commitment Increase that is allocated to each such
Lender. In addition to the existing Lenders, Rayonier may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible
Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and provided further that any such Eligible Assignee shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank. 
 (d) On the Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance
with Section 2.19(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase
shall be increased by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each
dated such date: 
 (i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrowers approving the
Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Assuming Lender, the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; and 
  

 46 








 (iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its
Commitment in a writing satisfactory to Rayonier and the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment
of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and Rayonier, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier, of the occurrence
of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

Document (other than contingent obligations which pursuant to Section 8.04(d) shall survive payment in full of all amounts referred to in Section 8.04(d)), RFR: 
 (a) Additional Limitation on Debt. Shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, for the payment of (in each case, to “incur”) any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt), unless at the
time of such incurrence, and after giving pro forma effect to the receipt and application of the proceeds of such Debt, the RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00; provided that the foregoing limitation
shall not apply to the RFR Permitted Debt. 
 (b) Investments and Other Restricted Payments. Shall not and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution or payment on or in respect of Capital Stock of RFR or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any payment made to

 64 








 
Restricted Subsidiary), (iv) make any Investment (other than any RFR Permitted Investment) in any Person, or (v) make any interest payment on the
Rayonier Subordinated Notes (such payments or Investments described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) (iv) and (v), collectively, “RFR Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to
proposed Restricted Payment (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (z) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by RFR and its Restricted
Subsidiaries during the Fiscal Quarter during which such Restricted Payment is made, shall not exceed (1) if the RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be greater than 2.00 to 1.00, an amount equal to Available Cash for the
immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter, or (2) if the RFR Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, an amount equal to the sum of (a) $75,000,000 over the life of the Installment Note Agreement,
plus (b) to the extent not theretofore used as the basis for a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the next succeeding paragraph, the aggregate net cash proceeds of any (i) capital contribution to RFR
from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) or (ii) issuance and sale of shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) of RFR to any Person (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary), in either such case made after the
Closing Date and no later than substantially concurrently with the making of such Restricted Payment, minus (c) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments (including such Restricted Payment) made pursuant to this clause
(2) after the Closing Date. The amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by Board of Directors of the General Managing Partner) on the date of such Restricted Payment
of the asset(s) proposed to be transferred by RFR or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment. 
 None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.04(b) shall prohibit: (i) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration such payment would be
permitted by the immediately preceding paragraph; (ii) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of any class of Capital Stock of RFR or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a
substantially concurrent (A) capital contribution to RFR from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) or (B) issue and sale of other shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) of RFR to
any Person (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement shall be excluded from the
calculation of Available Cash; (iii) any redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of the Subordinated Debt by exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent (A) capital contribution to RFR
from any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) or (B) issue and sale of (y) Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) of RFR to any Person (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) or (z) Debt
of RFR issued to any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary), so long as such Debt is RFR Permitted Refinancing Debt; or (iv) any distribution, or redemptions declared or effected by RFR on or before the Closing Date, whether or not payable
on a later date; provided, however, in each case, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement shall be excluded from the calculation of
Available Cash. In computing the amount of Restricted Payments previously made for purposes of the preceding paragraph, Restricted Payments made under clause (i) of this paragraph shall be included and Restricted Payments made under clauses
(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall not be so included. 
  

 65 








 (c) Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Shall not enter, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter, into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property of RFR or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RFR and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into
Sale and Leaseback Transactions with respect to property acquired or constructed after the Closing Date; provided that (i) RFR or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to incur Debt secured by a Lien on such property in an amount
equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the lease in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is for a term not in excess of the lesser of (A) three years and (B) 60% of the remaining
useful life of such property. 
 (d) Limitation on Timber Harvesting. In the event that RFR or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries receive any Net Proceeds from one or more Excess Harvests, within 270 days after the date of such receipt (or such longer period as may be required to comply with any agreement in effect on the Closing Date), RFR, at its option, may
apply the amount of such aggregate Net Proceeds (less the amount of any such Net Proceeds previously applied during such fiscal year for the purposes set forth in clause (i) and/or (ii) below) to (i) reduce Senior Debt of RFR secured
as permitted under Section 5.03(b) or Senior Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary (with a permanent reduction of availability in the case of any borrowings by RFR or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Working Capital Facility or any other facility
(other than the facility provided hereunder) that permits amounts repaid or prepaid to be reborrowed) or (ii) make, or commit, pursuant to a binding written contract (provided that such contract is consummated substantially in accordance
with the terms thereof within 30 days after the end of the 270-day period), to make an investment in assets used or useful in the business of RFR or such Subsidiary. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, RFR or any Restricted
Subsidiary may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Working Capital Facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. Any such Net Proceeds that are not applied or invested as provided in the
first sentence of this Section 5.04(d) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Harvest Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Harvest Proceeds exceeds $100,000,000, RFR shall make an offer to the holders of the Installment
Notes and an offer to all holders of other Senior Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 5.04(d) (an “Excess Harvest Offer”), to prepay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Installment Notes and such other Senior Debt that may be prepaid out of the Excess Harvest Proceeds. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the Installment Notes and other Senior Debt tendered pursuant to an Excess Harvest Offer is
less than the Excess Harvest Proceeds, RFR may use such deficiency for general business purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of the Installment Notes and other Senior Debt offered to be prepaid exceeds the amount of Excess Harvest Proceeds
offered to be applied to prepay the same, the offer to prepay the Installment Notes and such other Senior Debt shall be made on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Excess Harvest Offer, the amount of Excess Harvest Proceeds shall be reset at
zero. It being understood that this Section 5.04(d) does not require RFR to make an offer to the Lenders when the aggregate amount of Excess Harvest Proceeds exceeds $100,000,000 and this Section 5.04(d) shall not be deemed to be a
provision similar to Section 10.1 of the Installment Note Agreement. 
  

 66 








 (e) Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries. Shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted
Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, (ii) pay any Debt owed to RFR or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) make loans or advances to, or any
investment in, RFR or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or (iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to RFR or any other Restricted Subsidiary (collectively, “Payment Restrictions”), except for such encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of (A) applicable law, rules or regulations, or any order or ruling by any Governmental Authority; (B) any agreement in effect at or entered into on the Closing Date (including, without limitation,
this Agreement, the Installment Note Agreement and other agreements described in Schedule 5.04(e)); (C) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract, license or any lease governing a leasehold interest of RFR or any Restricted
Subsidiary; (D) customary restrictions on cash or other deposits imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (E) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business
that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iv) above on the property so acquired; (F) contracts for the sale of assets, including, without limitation, customary restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant
to an agreement that has been entered into for a sale of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such sale is permitted by this Agreement; (G) any agreement or other instrument governing
Debt, Preferred Stock or Redeemable Capital Stock of a Person acquired by RFR or any Restricted Subsidiary (or of a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person) in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the properties, assets or Subsidiaries of the Person, so acquired; (H) provisions contained in agreements or
instruments relating to Debt or Preferred Stock which prohibit the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the obligor or issuer thereunder unless the transferee shall assume the obligations of the obligor or issuer under such
agreement or instrument; or (I) encumbrances or restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument governing RFR Permitted Refinancing Debt; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) above, contained in such agreement governing such RFR Permitted Refinancing Debt are no more restrictive (taken as a whole) than those contained in the agreement governing the Debt being refinanced. 
 (f) Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. Notwithstanding provisions of Section 5.03(d), shall not sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose, of any of its Timberlands or Timber to any of their Affiliates (other than RFR and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) unless such transaction is for
the Fair Market Value thereof.

expired or been fully drawn upon, all reimbursement obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the 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).

 ARTICLE VII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of any Loan Document or collection of any amounts thereunder),
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the
Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Revolving Credit Advances; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent
to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the Lender that made any Revolving Credit Advance and Issuing Bank that issued any Letters of Credit as the holders of the Debt resulting therefrom until, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative
Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;
(iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not
have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents on the part of any Borrower or the existence at any time of any
Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto and thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 SECTION 7.03. CS and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, CS shall have
the same rights 

  

 72 








 
and powers under this Agreement 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, include CS in its individual capacity. CS and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from
and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if CS were not the Administrative Agent and without any
duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained
or received in any capacity other than as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or
Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.05. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers) and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances and LC Exposure then owed to each of them (or if no Revolving Credit Advances or LC
Exposure are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted
by the Administrative Agent hereunder and thereunder (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs of an indemnified person resulting from such
indemnified person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding
giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or a third party.

 SECTION 7.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, with the consent of Rayonier (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.07. Other Administrative Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that neither the documentation agent nor any other Lender designated as
any “Agent” on the signature pages hereof has any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

 (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisors, representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursements
and other charges of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any claim, investigation, litigation

the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
Environmental Action relating in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective
whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any

 76 








 
relating to (i) the Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents related thereto, any of the transactions contemplated herein
or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on an property of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any
way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate
Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.10(a), 2.10(b)(i) or (ii), 2.11 or 2.13,
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations
under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by any Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a) or a replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 8.07(i), such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy
of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such
payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such
Advance. 
 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of each Borrower contained in Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, under the Notes or any other Loan Document. 
 SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the
request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender or 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, the Note held by such Lender or any other Loan Document,
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, such Note or any other such Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower 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. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 
 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 

  

 77 








 
date hereof 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. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and, if demanded by any
Borrower (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, will assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender shall have
obtained the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and, other than in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, another Lender or its Affiliate, or assignments of the type described in subsection
(g) below and unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Rayonier, in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than
$5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 unless Rayonier and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree, and if the assigning Lender is assigning less than all of its Commitments after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of
the commitment of the assigning Lender shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000, (iv) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the applicable Borrower pursuant to
this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by such Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a
portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (vi) no Lender shall be
obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either such Borrower or one or more Eligible
Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount, its
proportionate interest in LC Exposure and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vii) each such assignment shall include an assignment by such Lender of its proportionate interest in LC Exposure, and (viii) the
parties to each such assignment shall electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent,
manually) and pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (such fee payable by the assignor or assignee, as agreed by the parties, and which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent), for its acceptance and recording in the Register. 

  

 78 








 
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04 to the extent any claim
thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (b) By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (A) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any collateral thereunder, (C) the financial condition of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person obligated in
respect of any Loan Document or (D) the performance or observance by any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person of any of their respective obligations under any Loan Document; (ii) such assignee
(A) represents and warrants that (1) it satisfies the requirements, if any, specified in this Agreement that are required to be satisfied by it in order to acquire the Assigned Interest (as defined in such Assignment and Acceptance) and
become a Lender, (2) from and after the Effective Date (specified in such Assignment and Acceptance), it shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender thereunder and, to the extent of the Assigned Interest, shall have the
obligations of a Lender thereunder, (3) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance and to purchase the Assigned Interest on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently
and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender, and (4) it is an Eligible Assignee; and (B) agrees that (1) it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the
assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and (2) it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) in the event when consent of Rayonier for such
Assignment and Acceptance is not required, give notice thereof to Rayonier. 
  

 79 








 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time and proportionate interest of such Lender in LC Exposure (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and any
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or
more banks or other entities (other than any Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit
Advances owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation
shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
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. 
 (f) Any Lender
may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to any Borrower
furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential
Information relating to such Borrower received by it from such Lender. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in
this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest (or any other similar interest) in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Note or
Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
  

 80 








 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, the option to provide to
the Borrowers all or any part of any Revolving Credit Advance that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
SPC to make any Revolving Credit Advance, (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Revolving Credit Advance, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Revolving Credit
Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Revolving Credit Advance by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Credit Advance were made by such Granting Bank. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not
institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, each Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of
its interests in any Revolving Credit Advances to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by each Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the
funding or maintenance of Revolving Credit Advances and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Revolving Credit Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety,
guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. 
 (i) If any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other action that pursuant to the terms of Section 8.01 requires the consent of all the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall
have granted their consent (any such Lender referred to above, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to
replace any such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Revolving Credit Advances and Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks;
provided, that (i) all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced, including obligations arising under Section 8.04(c) as a result of such replacement and all accrued fees and other accrued
amounts (other than accrued interest paid pursuant to clause (ii)) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such
Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall


  

 81 








 otherwise comply with Section 8.07(a); except that the assigning Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned and executed an assignment that otherwise complies with such Section. 
 SECTION 8.08. Confidentiality. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of each Borrower other than (a) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 8.07(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial
process, (c) in connection with the enforcement of any Loan Document or in connection with the defense of any litigation or other claim or action brought by or on behalf of Rayonier or any Subsidiary of Rayonier, and (d) as requested or
required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party hereto (and any employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and
all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax
treatment and tax structure, except that tax treatment and tax structure shall not include the identity of any existing or future party (or any affiliate of such party) to this Agreement. For this purpose, the tax treatment of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of such transactions and the tax structure of such transactions is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal
income tax treatment of such transactions. 
 SECTION 8.09. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.11. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party,
or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such 

  

 82 








 
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing
in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each
of the Loan Parties agrees that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in
view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in
any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New
York Courts. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally
and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New
York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 SECTION 8.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or the actions of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
