Rayonier
2014 Performance Share Award Program
The number of shares to which a participant could become entitled under the 2014 Performance Share Award Program (the “Program”) can range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of the Target Award depending on Rayonier’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance for the Performance Period of July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, as compared to the TSR performance of the designated peer group companies for the same period.  There will be no payout if results fall below the 30th percentile performance threshold.
		
	•
	TSR is defined as stock price appreciation plus the reinvestment of dividends on a quarterly basis. For purposes of performance measurement, TSR shall be the final reported figure as may be adjusted by the Committee for unusual items to avoid distortion in the operation of the Program.

		
	•
	TSR over the performance period will be calculated by measuring the value of a hypothetical $100 investment in Rayonier shares as compared to an equal investment in each of the peer group companies. 

		
	•
	TSR calculations of stock price appreciation will be the average of the closing prices of Rayonier common shares and that of each of the peer group companies for the first 20 trading dates and last 20 trading dates of the Performance Period.  

The final number of shares in an Award will be determined as follows:
		
	•
	The TSR performance of Rayonier and the peer group companies will be calculated and Rayonier’s relative performance, on a percentile basis, is determined.

		
	•
	The payout percentage of Target Award based on Rayonier’s percentile TSR performance against the peer group companies will be calculated per the following table:

	
		
	Percentile Rank
	Award (Expressed As Percent of Target Award)

	80th and Above
	200%

	51st -79th
	100%, plus 3.33% for each incremental percentile position over the 50th percentile

	50th
	100%

	31st - 49th
	30%, plus 3.5% for each incremental percentile position over the 30th percentile

	30th
	30%

	Below 30th
	0%

		
	•
	The payout percentage may not exceed 100% of target awards if Rayonier’s TSR for the Performance Period is negative.

		
	•
	Payment, if any, is to be made in Rayonier Common Shares, and may be offset, to the extent allowed under applicable regulations, by the number of shares equal in value to the amount needed to cover associated tax liabilities.

		
	•
	Dividend equivalents and interest will be paid in cash on the number of Rayonier Common Shares earned under the Program.

 
		
	•
	Dividends equivalents and interest will be calculated by taking the dividends paid on one share of Rayonier Common Stock during the performance period times the number of shares awarded at the end of the period. Interest on such dividends will be earned at a rate equal to the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal, adjusted and compounded annually, from the date such cash dividends were paid by the Company. 

		
	•
	Awards will be valued on January 14 following the end of the performance period. If January 14 falls on a non-trading day, awards will be valued on the next trading day. Awards, including dividends and interest, will be distributed to participants as soon as practicable following the valuation date. 

		
	•
	Target awards will be prorated in cases of retirement, death, or disability in accordance with Plan provisions.

	the consideration for the sale (which the Non-selling Shareholder shall be entitled to have independently verified and, if non-cash, valued) must be no less than the Acquisition Price;

		
	f.
	the sale must be on the terms and conditions which are not more advantageous to the purchaser than those offered to the Non-selling Shareholder, provided that the terms and conditions shall not be construed as being more advantageous solely because those terms contain arm’s length warranties and other arm’s length purchaser protections usual for a transaction of the nature contemplated; and

being, in each case, the Stapled Proportion.

		
	4.2
	Classes of shares:  The MFG Board may issue different Classes of shares in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.  Without limiting the Classes which the MFG Board may issue:

		
	a.
	each Class of shares is deemed to constitute a separate Class but, except as expressly provided in this agreement, all the MFG Ordinary Shares have the same rights and privileges and are subject to the same restrictions; and

		
	b.
	any share may be issued upon the basis that it:

		
	i.
	confers preferential rights to distributions of capital or income (or no rights to such distributions); or

		
	ii.
	confers special, limited or conditional voting rights; or

		
	iii.

	iv.
	is redeemable in accordance with section 68 of the Companies Act.

		
	4.3
	MFG Board may issue shares and other securities:  The MFG Board may, subject to the terms of this agreement, only issue shares, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares, or options to acquire shares (together referred to in this clause as New Equity Securities) in accordance with the following provisions:

		
	a.
	subject to any special rights or restrictions attaching to any existing shares, all New Equity Securities must be offered to all MFG Shareholders in proportion to each MFG Shareholder’s Stapled Proportion;

		
	b.
	subject to sub-clause (c) below, the offer must be made by written notice to each MFG Shareholder stating:

		
	i.
	the number of New Equity Securities to which that MFG Shareholder is entitled;

		
	ii.
	the Class or Classes of which the New Equity Securities will form part, and in the case of securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares, the Class of which those shares will upon issue form part;

		
	iii.
	the consideration for which the New Equity Securities will be issued and the terms on which they will be issued;

		
	iv.
	the time (not being less than 10 days nor more than 28 days) within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to be declined;

		
	v.
	that any MFG Shareholder who wishes to acquire New Equity Securities in excess of that MFG Shareholder's entitlement must, when accepting the offer, state the number of excess New Equity Securities which that MFG Shareholder wishes to acquire;

		
	vi.
	that any unclaimed New Equity Securities will be used for satisfying the requests for excess New Equity Securities, upon the basis that the New Equity Securities not claimed by any MFG Shareholder will be allocated first to the other MFG Shareholders who have requested excess New Equity Securities, in proportion to that MFG Shareholder’s Stapled Proportion, provided that no MFG Shareholder shall be allocated more excess New Equity Securities than the number which that MFG Shareholder has requested;

		
	vii.
	that if, thereafter, any New Equity Securities remain unallocated, the MFG Board may offer them to any person whom the MFG Board is prepared to register as an MFG Shareholder provided that the consideration and terms of issue are no more advantageous to that person than those offered to the MFG Shareholders provided further that the terms on which New Equity Securities are offered to that person shall not be construed as being more advantageous solely because those terms contain arm’s length warranties and other arm’s length subscriber protections usual for a transaction of the nature contemplated; and

		
	viii.
	that each MFG Shareholder who accepts the offer of New Equity Securities must increase their holding of MFG Ordinary Shares, MFG Redeemable Shares and/or Debt Commitment (as may be the case) in order to maintain their Stapled Proportion, provided that where WFL accepts the offer of New Equity Securities, Phaunos shall be required to increase its Debt Commitment, equal to the Relevant Proportion held by WFL following the issue of New Equity Securities,

		
	c.
	the New Equity Securities offered to each MFG Shareholder shall be of a Class or Classes already held by that MFG Shareholder.  For these purposes, any excess New Equity Securities offered pursuant to clause 4.3(b)(vi) shall, on issue, be issued as MFG Shares of the Class or Classes already held by the relevant MFG Shareholder.  New Equity Securities which are convertible or exchangeable into MFG Shares shall be convertible or exchangeable into MFG Shares of a Class or Classes already held by the relevant MFG Shareholder (unless those New Equity Securities are convertible or exchangeable into a new Class of MFG Shares);

		
	d.
	notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clauses (a) and (b) and (c), but subject always to the provisions of schedule 2 of this agreement, the MFG Board may issue New Equity Securities to such persons and on such terms as it thinks fit; and

		
	e.
	if any holders of securities in MFG other than MFG Shares are entitled by the terms of issue of those securities to participate in any issue of New Equity Securities, the provisions of this clause shall be appropriately modified to take account of such entitlement.
