necessary or desirable contractual services of the type which, in Manager's
reasonable judgment (in light of the term of this Agreement and the

Pioneer requests such assistance of Manager and Manager and Pioneer agree on
the scope of the services to be performed by Manager in connection with such
sales (the "Disposition Services") and the fees to be paid to Manager for its
performance of the Disposition Services (the "Disposition Fee"), Pioneer
shall engage Manager, and Manager shall agree, to provide the Disposition
Services, all in accordance with the terms of an amendment or supplement of

Exchange Commission]

SECTION 6.  CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

6.1   CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties acknowledge and agree that matters set
forth in this Agreement, and certain information that the parties obtain as a
result of this Agreement, are strictly confidential, and Pioneer and Manager
shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that, without the consent of
each of the parties hereto, the information contained herein or the
confidential information obtained as a result of this Agreement is not
disclosed to any other person or entity other than as required by law or the
Loan Documents (including without limitation, [Omitted Confidential Information
has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission]), or to
any person or entity who needs to know such information to carry out the
provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall not
limit the rights and obligations of Manager (including to disclose certain
otherwise confidential information which Manager reasonably determines would
not be detrimental to Pioneer to disclose) with respect to public relations
services to be performed in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but without disclosure of the financial terms of its
management

<PAGE>

arrangement, ORM may disclose that it has been appointed the manager of
Pioneer and the scope of ORM's authority under this Agreement.

6.2   CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Pioneer acknowledges that Manager is in the
business of acquiring, managing, and disposing of timberlands for its own
account and for the account of others as well as the business of forestry
consulting services, and is actively involved in the business of harvesting
and marketing timber, logs, timberlands and other products, in both the
domestic and export markets. Pioneer acknowledges that the markets for
Manager and affiliates and third parties for whom Manager acts may include
the same markets as those into which Pioneer may desire to sell its
Timberlands, Timber, and Logs. These activities of Manager may create a
conflict of interest with respect to the services which Manager is to provide
under this Agreement. Pioneer recognizes the existence of such conflict of
interest and acquiesces to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager agrees
that it will at all times act in good faith toward Pioneer with respect to
any such conflict or potential conflict in performing Manager's obligations
hereunder. Manager further agrees that, Manager, acting on its own behalf as
ORM, shall not (i) enter into any contract, agreement or other arrangement
with Pioneer (except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including
without limitation Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof)), or (ii) knowingly enter
into any contract, agreement or other arrangement with any affiliate of
Pioneer, any direct or indirect owner of any portion of Pioneer or any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such direct or
indirect owner. This Agreement shall not otherwise limit or restrict in any
way Manager's ability to engage in timberland acquisition, management, or
disposition and/or the sale of logs and/or stumpage on its own behalf or on
behalf of others, or to engage in forestry consulting services on behalf of
any party, and, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement,
Pioneer shall not assert that this Agreement or Manager's status as Manager
of Pioneer imposes limitations on Manager's ability to engage in activities
that are similar to and/or in competition with Pioneer. Further, in the
absence of Misconduct by Manager in the performance of Manager's duties under
this Agreement, Pioneer shall not assert at any time that any such activity
of Manager constitutes a breach of this Agreement and Manager shall not be
held liable for, or enjoined from, engaging in any competing activity or for
the manner in which such competing activity was conducted.

SECTION 7.  INSURANCE, STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE, INDEMNITY.

7.1   INSURANCE AND BONDING.

      (a)  During the term of this Agreement, and subject to any additional
requirements which may be contained in the Loan Documents, Manager shall
maintain in full force and effect at least the following minimum levels of
insurance with carriers determined by Manager in the good faith exercise of
discretion to be financially stable insurance carriers:

           (i)  Manager shall maintain a policy of commercial general
      liability insurance insuring Manager and Pioneer against any liability
      for bodily injury or property damage claimed to have resulted from or
      be in any way connected with Manager's operations under this Agreement,
      in the minimum amount of $500,000 for each occurrence, $500,000 general
      aggregate, plus umbrella coverage of $2,000,000. The premiums and other
      costs of such

<PAGE>

      general liability insurance shall be paid by ORM as a cost associated
      with the operations of Manager under this Agreement.

           (ii) Manager shall maintain on behalf of Pioneer and at
      Pioneer's expense a policy of automobile liability insurance, including
      coverage for scheduled autos, hired autos and non-owned autos, insuring
      Manager and Pioneer against any liability for bodily injury or property
      damage claimed to have resulted from or be in any way connected with
      Manager's operations under this Agreement, in the minimum of $1,000,000
      for bodily injury per accident and $500,000 for property damage.

           (iii) Manager shall maintain on behalf of Pioneer and at
      Pioneer's expense Workers' Compensation Liability coverages as required
      by law and Employer's Liability Insurance in the amount of $500,000.
      Said policies shall contain a provision under which the insurer waives
      any right of subrogation as against Pioneer and their respective agents
      or employees, to the full extent allowed by law.

Manager may also acquire and maintain insurance and bonding on behalf of
Pioneer and at Pioneer's expense such other and additional insurance and
bonding as it shall deem prudent and appropriate.

      (b)  Manager shall require and use reasonable efforts to verify that
all contractors or subcontractors hired to perform any work relating to the
Timberlands acquire and maintain the following insurance requirements,
provided, that Pioneer hereby authorizes Manager, of its own volition and in
the exercise of good-faith discretion, to waive or adjust such insurance
requirements as Manager deems appropriate:

           (i)   Contractors or subcontractors shall maintain a policy
      of commercial general liability insurance insuring contractor or
      subcontractor, as the case may be, and Pioneer and Manager against
      liability for bodily injury or property damage claimed to have resulted
      from or be in any way connected with contractor's or subcontractor's
      operations under this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $500,000 for
      each occurrence and $1,000,000 general aggregate. The premiums and
      other costs of such general liability insurance shall be paid for by
      the contractor or subcontractor as a cost associated with their
      operations. All other insurance required under this Section 7.1(b)
      shall also be the obligation of contractor or subcontractor and shall
      be paid for by contractor or subcontractor.

           (ii)  Contractors or subcontractors shall maintain a policy
      of automobile liability insurance, including coverage for scheduled
      autos, hired autos and non-owned autos, insuring contractor or
      subcontractor and Pioneer and Manager against any liability for bodily
      injury or property damage claimed to have resulted from or be in any
      way connected with contractor's or subcontractor's operations as
      contemplated by this Agreement, in the minimum of $500,000 for bodily
      injury per accident and $250,000 for property damage.

           (iii) Contractors or subcontractors shall maintain Workers'
      Compensation Liability coverages as required by law and Employer's
      Liability Insurance in the amount of

<PAGE>

      $500,000. Said policies shall contain a provision under which the
      insurer waives any right of subrogation as against Pioneer and its
      employees and Manager and its employees.

      (c)  During the term of this Agreement, Manager may also acquire and
maintain, at Pioneer's expense, a policy of insurance insuring Manager and
Pioneer against any liability on account of errors and omissions by Manager,
which policy shall provide such coverage as is reasonably acceptable to
Manager, but in no event shall the cost of any such policy exceed $60,000 per
year; PROVIDED that Manager may also acquire and maintain, at Pioneer's
expense, "tall" coverage on such policy that extends beyond the term of this
Agreement, but in no event shall the cost to Pioneer of any such "tail"
coverage exceed $30,000.

7.2   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Manager shall have no liability to Pioneer, the Member or the
Lenders (as intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement) for a
breach of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to its management of the
business, affairs and properties of Pioneer pursuant to this Agreement or the
Operating Agreement except to the extent resulting from the Misconduct of
Manager. Manager shall have no liability or responsibility for any acts or
omissions of Pioneer or any prior manager of Pioneer, or any circumstances
applicable to Pioneer, in each case that occurred or existed prior to the
date of this Agreement; provided however that, subject to the limitations on
its liabilities set forth in this Section 7.2, Manager's duties under this
Agreement shall be applicable to any such situation after Manager becomes
aware thereof. Manager shall not be responsible for the condition of any
records or other information maintained by Pioneer prior to the date of this
Agreement and, further, shall have no responsibility or liability for errors,
omissions, or other failures, shortcomings, or defaults in the management and
administration of the business and affairs of Pioneer that result in whole or
in part from the inaccuracy, inadequacy, or other deficiency in the records
or other information received by Manager from Pioneer, the prior manager,
and/or any other party unless, subject to the limitations on its liabilities
set forth in this Section 7.2, Manager discovered, or was notified of, such
errors, omissions, failures, shortcomings or defaults. Manager shall be
justified in reliance on the provisions of Section 2.5 as a basis for
refusing or failing to take action on behalf of Pioneer and shall not be
subject to liability to any party for any such refusal or failure.

7.3   INDEMNITY. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pioneer shall
indemnify and hold harmless Manager and every employee, officer, director,
shareholder, partner, member and agent of Manager from and against any and
all claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines,
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs)
(collectively, "Manager Claims") suffered or incurred in any manner directly
or indirectly as a result of Manager's status as Manager or performance in
the role of Manager pursuant to this Agreement or the Operating Agreement,
including performance of any and all activities conducted in the exercise of
Manager's authority and the discharge of Manager's responsibilities under
this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, except if resulting from the
Misconduct of Manager (including of any employee, officer, director,
shareholder, partner, member or agent of Manager); provided, this
indemnification of the employees, officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, members and agents of Manager shall not be applicable to any claim
asserted or proceeding maintained by Manager against any such person. This
indemnification and hold harmless commitment of Pioneer shall include as a
separate obligation the commitment of Pioneer to pay all

<PAGE>

of the expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs)
incurred by Manager and any employee, officer, director, shareholder,
partner, member and agent of Manger in any proceeding for Manager Claims as
incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding (and
despite any allegation of the Misconduct of Manager or any such other party),
provided such indemnified party commits in writing to reimburse Pioneer for
the amounts Pioneer has paid to such indemnified party under this sentence if
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable
judgment that such Manager Claims are a result of the Misconduct of Manager
(including of any employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, member
or agent of Manager), and thus, such indemnified party was not entitled to
indemnification hereunder.

      (b)  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Manager shall indemnify
and hold harmless Pioneer and every employee, officer, director, shareholder,
partner, member and agent of Pioneer from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs) (collectively,
"Pioneer Claims") suffered or incurred in any manner directly or indirectly
as a result of the Misconduct of Manager (including of any employee, officer,
director, shareholder, partner, member or agent of Manager).

otherwise insuring the lien of the Manager Mortgage subject only to such
title exceptions (and with endorsements) as may be in form and substance

<PAGE>

      (b)  In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Manager

the manner set forth in paragraph (a) above) covering a new Manager Mortgaged
Property selected by Manager and Pioneer and which, in the reasonable

Obligations Amount at such time; provided that if the Manager reasonably
determines that Pioneer's then remaining real property does not have a value
equal to or greater than the Pioneer Secured Obligations Amount at such time

Manager Mortgaged Property), then the net cash proceeds from the sale or
other disposition of the existing Manager Mortgaged Property (remaining after
payment of any Pioneer Secured Obligations then due and payable) shall be
deposited by Manager into a cash collateral account (the "CASH COLLATERAL
ACCOUNT"), pursuant to customary cash collateral arrangements reasonably

Obligations Amount on such date (which determination will be made on the date
of the funding of the Cash Collateral Account, from time to time thereafter
(no less often than monthly), and on the Fee Release Date and the Indemnity
Release Date), Manager and Pioneer will transfer the amount of any such
excess to the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement for application
in accordance with the terms thereof. If Pioneer fails to pay any of the
Pioneer Secured Obligations when due, and such failure continues unremedied
for 30 days following written notice thereof to Pioneer, Manager shall be
entitled to immediately withdraw such amount from the Cash Collateral Account
and apply it to the payment of such unpaid amount of the Pioneer Secured
Obligations.

      (d)  Pioneer and Manager acknowledge that [Omitted Confidential
Information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission] (and the related lien Subordination Agreement in recordable form
to be executed by the Lenders in respect of any Manager Mortgage) will
evidence the agreement of the Lenders that (i) any Manager Mortgage (and, if
applicable, the Manager's lien on the Cash Collateral Account) shall be
senior and shall have priority over any mortgage or deed of trust in favor of
the Lenders encumbering the Manager Mortgaged Property (and, if applicable,
the Lenders' lien on the Cash Collateral Account) regardless of the time or
order of recording of any Manager Mortgage, the execution or delivery of any
security agreement or any other applicable law or rule for determining the
relative priorities of secured creditors and (ii) the Lenders will not
exercise any remedies against the Cash Collateral Account until after the
Release Date. In the event that the Lenders subordinate, pursuant to clause
(ii) of Section 13.3 of the Credit Agreement, their lien on the Manager
Mortgaged Property to easements, possessory rights, cutting rights or
permitted sales of stumpage and timber rights, the lien of the Manager
Mortgage shall be automatically subordinated to such matters, and Manager
shall execute such subordination documents reasonably requested

<PAGE>

by Pioneer or the Lenders to evidence such subordination. On the Release
Date, the lien of the Manager Mortgage and any security interest of the
Manager in the Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed to have been released,
provided, however, that the lien shall be reinstated automatically at the
time, and to the extent, that any Pioneer Secured Obligations which have been
paid to Manager are recovered from Manager as a result of an action in
bankruptcy.

      (e)  Subject to Manager's prior and superior rights to receive payment
of the Pioneer Secured Obligations from the net cash proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Manager Mortgaged Property, Manager acknowledges and
agrees solely for the benefit of the Lenders that (i) Manager shall not take
any action to enforce any Manager Mortgage or otherwise exercise any right or
remedy in respect thereof, including without limitation, any judicial,
nonjudicial or similar proceedings unless Pioneer fails to pay any Pioneer
Secured Obligations when due and such failure continues unremedied for at
least twelve months following written notice thereof to Pioneer and the
administrative agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) as between Manager
and the Lenders, the Lenders shall have the sole right to consent to any
proposed sale or other disposition of any Manager Mortgaged Property, whether
at private sale or pursuant to foreclosure, bankruptcy or other judicial or
non-judicial proceedings (provided that the Lenders' consent shall not be
required in connection with any sale pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding
commenced by Manager in respect of the Manager Mortgaged Property), and
Manager shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale or other
disposition and the Manager Mortgage shall be automatically extinguished upon
such sale or other disposition so long as (A) the Lenders have consented
thereto in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; and (B) the net
cash proceeds thereof are applied first to pay any Pioneer Secured
Obligations then due and payable.

SECTION 10.  NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement

caused by such taking or otherwise) to said property or any part thereof or the
improvements thereon or any part thereof, or to any rights appurtenant thereto,
including severance and consequential damage, and any award for change of grade
of streets (collectively, "CONDEMNATION AWARDS").

     All Contract Rights, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or in which
Grantor now has or hereafter acquires any rights (the term "CONTRACT RIGHTS"
means and includes, without limitation, all Grantor's right, title and interest
in, to and under all contracts for the purchase, sale, harvest or transportation

this Deed of Trust, Trustee shall not exercise any rights included in or
relating to the Contract Rights and Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all
such rights, including, but not limited to, the right to collect, receive and
enjoy any and all amounts due or to become due under or pursuant to any of said

privileges hereby granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, mortgaged, warranted,
pledged and assigned, and in which a security interest is granted, or intended
so to be, unto Trustee, its successors and assigns, forever; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this Deed of Trust is upon the express condition that if the conditions set
forth in both of clauses (a) and (b) below have been met or the condition
precedent set forth in clause (c) below has been met, then this Deed of Trust
and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void and
this Deed of Trust shall be released by Trustee upon the written request and at
the expense of Grantor, otherwise to remain in full force and effect: (a) more
than one (1) year has passed since the expiration or termination of the
Management Agreement; and (b) the Pioneer Secured Obligations and all other
indebtedness hereby secured has been fully paid and performed or, in the case of
the Pioneer Secured Indemnity Obligations, the Indemnity Release Date (as that
term is defined in the Management Agreement) shall have occurred; or (c) the
Mortgaged Premises are subject to a Transfer (as defined in Section 12 hereof)
in accordance with Section 9 of the Management Agreement, but only after all of
the conditions precedent and conditions

                                       5
<PAGE>

concurrent to the termination of this Deed of Trust as set forth in such
Section 9 shall have been satisfied.

     Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with Trustee and Beneficiary as follows
(it being understood that (a) the exercise of rights and remedies by the Trustee
or the Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust are subject to certain limitations
solely for the benefit of the Lenders, and not for the benefit of Grantor, as
described in Section 52 hereof and more fully set forth in Section 9 of the
Management Agreement and (b) in its capacity as Manager under the Management
Agreement, Beneficiary has agreed, subject to the terms, conditions, standards,
limitations, exceptions, and other provisions set forth in the Management
Agreement, and only so long as Beneficiary serves as Manager thereunder, to
cause Grantor to comply with its covenants and other obligations under this Deed
of Trust):

     1.   PAYMENT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS. The indebtedness hereby secured will be
promptly paid as and when the same becomes due.

     2.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. Grantor will execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to
carry out more effectively the purpose of this Deed of Trust and, without
limiting the foregoing, to make subject to the lien hereof any property agreed
to be subjected hereto or covered by the Granting Clauses hereof or intended so
to be.

     3.   OWNERSHIP OF THE MORTGAGED PREMISES. Grantor covenants and warrants
that it is lawfully seized of and has good and marketable fee title to the
Mortgaged Premises free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances
whatsoever except for (a) those matters existing on the date hereof and set
forth on Schedule II attached hereto; (b) any such liens, charges, or
encumbrances permitted under Section 9 of the Management Agreement; and (c) the
junior liens on the Mortgaged Premises to be granted pursuant to the Bridge
Consent (as defined in the [Omitted Confidential Information has been filed
separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission] referred to in Section
40 below) (collectively, the "PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES") and Grantor has good
title, full power and authority to convey, transfer and mortgage the same to
Trustee for the uses and purposes set forth in this Deed of Trust; and Grantor
will warrant and defend the title to the Mortgaged Premises against all claims
and demands whatsoever except Permitted Encumbrances.

     4.   POSSESSION. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder which, subject to Section 52 hereof, gives Trustee and
Beneficiary the right to exercise rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust,
Grantor shall be suffered and permitted to remain in full possession, enjoyment
and control of the Mortgaged Premises, subject always to the observance and
performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust.

     5.   PAYMENT OF TAXES. Grantor shall pay before delinquent all general and
special taxes and assessments, all water, drainage and sewer charges and all
other charges of any kind whatsoever, ordinary or extraordinary, which may be
levied, assessed, imposed or charged on

                                       6
<PAGE>

or against the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, except that, unless and
until foreclosure, distraint, sale or other similar proceedings shall have been
commenced, no such charge or claim need be paid if being contested (except to
the extent any full or partial payment shall be required by law), after notice
to Beneficiary, by appropriate proceedings which shall operate to prevent the
collection thereof or the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Premises or any
part thereof to satisfy the same, conducted in good faith and with due diligence
and if Grantor shall have furnished such security, if any, as may be required in
the proceedings or as may be reasonably requested by Trustee or Beneficiary.
Grantor shall, upon written request, exhibit to Beneficiary official receipts
evidencing payments of all taxes and charges that Grantor is required to pay
under this Deed of Trust.

     6.   [Intentionally deleted.]

     7.   RECORDATION AND PAYMENT OF TAXES AND EXPENSES INCIDENT THERETO.
Grantor will cause this Deed of Trust, all trust deeds supplemental hereto and
any financing statement or other notice of a security interest required by
Trustee or Beneficiary at all times to be kept, recorded and filed at its own
expense in such manner and in such places as may be required by law for the
recording and filing or for the rerecording and refiling of a mortgage, security
interest, assignment or other lien or charge upon the Mortgaged Premises, or any
part thereof, in order fully to preserve and protect the rights of Trustee and
Beneficiary hereunder and, without limiting the foregoing, Grantor will pay or
reimburse Trustee or Beneficiary for the payment of any and all taxes, fees or
other charges incurred in connection with any such recordation or rerecordation,
including any documentary stamp tax or tax imposed upon the privilege of having
this Deed of Trust or any instrument issued pursuant hereto recorded.

     8.   [Intentionally deleted.]

     9.   [Intentionally deleted.]

     10.  EMINENT DOMAIN. Grantor acknowledges that Condemnation Awards have
been assigned to Trustee and Beneficiary. Grantor shall, immediately upon
learning of the actual or threatened institution of any proceeding for the
condemnation or other taking of any of the Mortgaged Premises (including any
easement therein or appurtenance thereof or severance or consequential damage
and change in grade of streets), notify Trustee and Beneficiary of the pendency
of such proceeding and deliver to Trustee and Beneficiary copies of any and all
papers served in connection with any such proceedings, and Grantor agrees that
Beneficiary may participate in any such proceeding, and Grantor from time to
time will deliver to Trustee and Beneficiary all instruments reasonably
requested by Trustee or Beneficiary to permit such participation. Beneficiary is
authorized to collect the proceeds of any condemnation claim or award, and shall
apply the same as follows: (a) first, to pay any then due and payable amounts
owing on account of any Pioneer Secured Obligations or other indebtedness hereby
secured in such order of application as the Beneficiary may elect, and (b) the
remainder shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account described in
Section 9 of the Management Agreement, and shall be held and disbursed in
accordance therewith.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Grantor further covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to
Beneficiary, at any time or times upon request, free, clear and discharged of
any encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, any and all further assignments and/or
instruments deemed necessary by Beneficiary for the purpose of validly and
sufficiently assigning all awards and other compensation heretofore and
hereafter to be made to Grantor for any taking, either permanent or temporary,
under any such proceeding.

     11.  [Intentionally deleted.]

     12.  SALES, TRANSFERS AND ENCUMBRANCES. Grantor shall be permitted to
Transfer (as defined below) the Mortgaged Premises to the extent permitted by,
and subject to full compliance with all of the conditions, requirements, and
limitations of, the terms of Section 9 of the Management Agreement. Except to
such extent, and except in the case of Permitted Encumbrances, Grantor will not,
directly or indirectly, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of
law do any of the following (hereinafter, a "TRANSFER"): sell, transfer, lease,
exchange, convey, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise encumber or
dispose of the Mortgaged Premises or any portion thereof or legal or equitable
interest therein, and shall not enter into any agreement or arrangement
therefor, including, without limitation, any contract sale, installment sale or
sale under articles of agreement for deed. Any Transfer in violation of this
Section 12 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder.

     13.  RIGHT OF TRUSTEE OR BENEFICIARY TO PERFORM GRANTOR'S COVENANTS, ETC.
Subject to Section 52 hereof, if Grantor shall fail to make any payment or
perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder, Trustee or
Beneficiary, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but
shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or
perform such act for the account and at the expense of Grantor, and may enter
upon the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof for such purpose and take all
such action thereon as, in the reasonable opinion of Trustee or Beneficiary, may
be necessary or appropriate therefor. All sums so paid by Trustee or Beneficiary
and all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and
expenses) so incurred, together, to the extent such sums, costs, and expenses
constitute Preservation Costs, with interest thereon from the date of payment or
incurrence at the Interest Rate, shall constitute so much additional
indebtedness hereby secured and shall be paid by Grantor to the party who made
such payment on demand. Trustee or Beneficiary in making any payment authorized
under this Section relating to taxes or assessments may do so according to any
bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without
inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof. Trustee or Beneficiary, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the
sole judge (acting, at all times, in good faith) of whether Grantor is required
to perform same under the terms of this Deed of Trust.

     14.  AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. Any and all property hereafter acquired with
respect to the property described in Granting Clauses I-VIII above and which is
of the kind or nature

                                       8
<PAGE>

herein provided, or intended to be and become subject to the lien hereof, shall
IPSO FACTO, and without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of
Grantor, become and be subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust as fully and
completely as though specifically described herein; but nevertheless Grantor
shall from time to time, if requested by Trustee or Beneficiary, execute and
deliver any and all such further assurances, conveyances and assignments as
Trustee or Beneficiary may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and
specifically subjecting to the lien of this Deed of Trust all such property.

     15.  INSPECTION BY TRUSTEE OR BENEFICIARY. Trustee and Beneficiary shall
have the right to inspect the Mortgaged Premises (including, without limitation,
the right to have a cruise of all timber on the Mortgaged Premises by an
independent timber cruiser) at all reasonable times, and access thereto shall be
permitted for that purpose.

     16.  [Intentionally deleted.]

     17.  SUBROGATION. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Trustee and
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any lien discharged out of any advance by
Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder, irrespective of whether or not any such lien
may have been released of record.

     18.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Time is of the essence of the Management Agreement
and this Deed of Trust (collectively, as the same may be amended in writing from
time to time, the "ORM DOCUMENTS". The occurrence of any of the following,
without further demand or notice, shall be an "Event of Default":

          (a)  Failure by Grantor to pay the Pioneer Secured Obligations or any
other indebtedness hereby secured as and when due; or

          (b)  A Transfer other than as permitted in Section 12 hereof occurs,
whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, and whether or not
Beneficiary has waived or failed to assert its rights in connection with any
previous Transfer. In the event of a Transfer other than as permitted in Section
12, Beneficiary may, without notice to Grantor, deal with the transferee with
respect to this Deed of Trust, the indebtedness hereby secured and the other ORM
Documents, as if the transferee were Grantor, and such dealing shall neither
satisfy nor discharge Grantor's liability for the indebtedness hereby secured or
under the ORM Documents, nor constitute Beneficiary's consent to the Transfer.

     19.  REMEDIES. Subject to any applicable limitations on the exercise of
rights and remedies as set forth in Section 52 hereof (such limitations being
solely for the benefit of Lenders, and not for the benefit of Grantor), when any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to such other
rights as may be available under applicable law, but subject at all times to any
mandatory legal requirements:

          (a)  UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. Trustee shall, with respect to any
part of the Mortgaged Premises constituting property of the type in respect of
which realization on a

                                       9
<PAGE>

lien or security interest granted therein is governed by the Uniform Commercial
Code, have all the rights, options and remedies of a secured party under the
California Commercial Code, including without limitation, the right to the
possession of any such property, or any part thereof, and the right to enter
without legal process any premises where any such property may be found. Any
requirement of said California Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall
be met by delivery of written notice to Grantor at its address above set forth
at least five (5) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is
required. The costs and expenses of retaking, selling, and otherwise disposing
of said property, including attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith, shall constitute so much additional indebtedness hereby secured and
shall be payable upon demand. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder,
Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Mortgaged Premises which consists of a
right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property
covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage
thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in
accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real
property. Any sale of any personal property hereunder shall be conducted in any
manner permitted by Section 9501 or any other applicable section to the
California Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Premises consists of real and
personal property or fixtures, whether or not such personal property is located
on or within the real property, Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to
exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the real property,
personal property, and fixtures in such order and manner as is now or hereafter
permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion without regard to the
adequacy of its security, elect to proceed against any or all of the real
property, personal property and fixtures in any manner permitted under Section
9501(4)(a) of the California Commercial Code; and if Beneficiary elects to
proceed in the manner permitted under Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) of the California
Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with
respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures
covered hereby, as designated by Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any real property, personal
property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real
property. Where the Mortgaged Premises consists of real property and personal
property, any reinstatement of the indebtedness hereby secured following default
which is made by Grantor or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the
right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any
successor statute, shall not, in accordance with the terms of California
Commercial Code Section 9501(4)(c)(iii), prohibit Beneficiary from conducting a
sale or other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from otherwise
proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any personal property or
fixtures in any manner permitted by the California Commercial Code; nor shall
any such reinstatement invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any sale,
disposition or other proceedings held, conducted or instituted with respect to
any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement or pending at the
time of such reinstatement. Any sums paid to Beneficiary in effecting any
reinstatement pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code shall be
applied to the indebtedness hereby secured and to Beneficiary's and Trustee's
reasonable costs and expenses in the manner

                                       10
<PAGE>

required by Section 2924c. Should Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the
Mortgaged Premises which is real property or which is personal property or
fixtures that Beneficiary has elected under Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) of the
California Commercial Code to sell together with real property in accordance
with the laws governing a sale of real property, Beneficiary or Trustee shall
give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law.
Any requirement of the California Commercial Code for reasonable notification
shall be met by mailing written notice to Grantor at its address above set forth
at least 10 days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is
required.

          (b)  FORECLOSURE. Trustee or Beneficiary may proceed to protect
and enforce the rights of Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder (i) by any action at
law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceedings, whether for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction against the
violation of any of the terms hereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted hereby or by law, or (ii) by the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or
(iii) by Trustee's sale under the power of sale. Grantor agrees that the
agreements of Grantor herein contained shall be specifically enforceable by
injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy and that for the purpose of
any suit brought under this subparagraph, Grantor hereby waives the defense of
laches and any applicable statute of limitations. In the event of foreclosure,
Grantor authorizes and empowers Trustee or Beneficiary to effect insurance upon
the Mortgaged Premises in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of
redemption from foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor, to
cancel any or all existing insurance policies.

          (c)  TRUSTEE'S SALE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Beneficiary may deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand
for sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause the Mortgaged
Premises to be sold, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record.
After Trustee shall have given and recorded such other notice as the law then
requires as a condition precedent to a Trustee's sale under power of sale, after
the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation
of said notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required
by law, Trustee, without notice to or demand upon Grantor except as otherwise
required by law, may sell the Mortgaged Premises at the time and place of sale
fixed by it in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and
in such order as it or Beneficiary may determine, at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of
sale (the indebtedness hereby secured being the equivalent of cash for purposes
of said sale). Grantor shall have no right to direct the order in which the
Mortgaged Premises are sold. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Premises by public announcement at such time and place of sale and
from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at
such time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to the
purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Mortgaged Premises or portion
thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The
recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof absent manifest error. Any person, including Grantor or
Beneficiary may

                                       11
<PAGE>

purchase at such sale. After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee,
and of this Trust, including, without limitation, cost of evidence of title and
attorneys' fees in connection with sale, all as provided in this Section 19 and
Section 21 hereof, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale as prescribed in
Section 22 hereof. Before any such Trustee's sale under power, Beneficiary may
rescind such notices of default and of election to cause the Mortgaged Premises
or any part thereof to be sold by delivering to Trustee a written notice of
rescission, which notice, when recorded, shall cancel any prior declaration of
default and demand for sale. The exercise of such right of rescission shall not
constitute a waiver of any default then existing or subsequently occurring, or
impair the right of Beneficiary to deliver to Trustee other declarations of
default and demands for sale or notices of default and of election to cause the
Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof to be sold, or otherwise affect any
provision of this Deed of Trust or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of
Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder.

          (d)  APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Trustee or Beneficiary shall, as a
matter of right, without notice or without giving bond to Grantor or anyone
claiming by, under or through it, and without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Grantor or the then value of the Mortgaged Premises, be entitled
to have a receiver appointed of all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises and
the rents, issues and profits thereof, with such power as the court making such
appointment shall confer, and the Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of
such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Any such receiver may,
to the extent permitted under applicable law, without notice, enter upon and
take possession of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof by force, summary
proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Grantor or other persons and
any and all property therefrom, and may hold, operate and manage the same and
receive all earnings, income, rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect
thereto or any part thereof, whether during the pendency of any foreclosure or
until any right of redemption shall expire or otherwise.

          (e)  TAKING POSSESSION, COLLECTING RENTS, ETC. Trustee or Beneficiary
or their agent may enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Premises or any
part thereof and manage, operate, insure, repair and improve the same and take
any action which, in Trustee's or Beneficiary's judgment, is necessary or proper
to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Premises, including, but not limited to,
the harvest and sale of timber from the Mortgaged Premises. Beneficiary may also
take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all personal property
contained in the Mortgaged Premises and used in the operation, rental or leasing
thereof or any part thereof. Trustee or Beneficiary or their agent shall be
entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues and
profits of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, including, but not
limited to, all earnings, revenues, and profits arising from the harvest and
sale of timber from the Mortgaged Premises (and for such purpose Grantor does
hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Beneficiary its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact for it and in its name, place and stead to receive, collect and
receipt for all of the foregoing, Grantor irrevocably acknowledging that any
payment made to Beneficiary hereunder shall be a good receipt and acquittance
against Grantor to the extent so made) and

                                       12
<PAGE>

to apply same to the reduction of the indebtedness hereby secured. The right to
enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Premises and use any personal
property therein, to manage, operate and conserve the same, and to collect the
rents, issues and profits thereof, shall be in addition to all other rights or
remedies of Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder or afforded by law, and may be
exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Trustee, at
Beneficiary's sole discretion without notice thereof to Grantor, and without
taking possession of the Mortgaged Premises may notify any or all of the
obligors of the leases and subleases of the Mortgaged Premises that such leases
and subleases have been assigned to Trustee, and Trustee, in the name of
Trustee, Grantor or in both names, may direct such obligors thereafter to make
all payments due from them under such leases and subleases directly to Trustee.
Grantor, immediately upon demand by Trustee, irrevocably shall direct all
obligors of the leases and subleases then and thereafter to make all payments
then and thereafter due from them under the leases and subleases directly to
Trustee. The costs and expenses (including any receiver's fees and expenses,
attorneys' fees and expenses and agent's compensation) incurred pursuant to the
powers herein contained shall be so much additional indebtedness hereby secured
which Grantor promises to pay upon demand. Trustee or Beneficiary shall not be
liable to account to Grantor for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to
account for any rents actually received by Trustee or Beneficiary. Without
taking possession of the Mortgaged Premises, Trustee or Beneficiary may, in the
event the Mortgaged Premises becomes vacant or is abandoned, take such steps as
it deems appropriate to protect and secure the Mortgaged Premises (including
hiring watchmen therefor) and all costs incurred in so doing shall constitute so
much additional indebtedness hereby secured payable upon demand and, to the
extent such costs constitute Preservation Costs, with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate.

     20.  WAIVER OF RIGHT TO REDEEM FROM SALE - WAIVER OF APPRAISEMENT,
VALUATION, ETC. Grantor shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called
"MORATORIUM LAWS", now existing or hereafter enacted in order to prevent or
hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, but hereby waives
the benefit of such laws. Grantor for itself and all who may claim through or
under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising
the Mortgaged Premises marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and
agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the
Mortgaged Premises sold as an entirety. In the event of any sale made under or
by virtue of this Deed of Trust, the whole of the Mortgaged Premises may be sold
in one parcel as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels at the same or
different times, all as the Beneficiary may determine. Beneficiary shall have
the right to become the purchaser at any sale made under or by virtue of this
Deed of Trust and Beneficiary so purchasing at any such sale shall have the
right to be credited upon the amount of the bid made therefor by Beneficiary
with the amount payable to Trustee by Grantor out of the net proceeds of such
sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any and
all rights of redemption from any sale under any order or decree of foreclosure
pursuant to rights herein granted, on behalf of Grantor, and each and every
person acquiring any interest in, or title to the Mortgaged Premises described
herein

                                       13
<PAGE>

subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust, and on behalf of all other persons
to the extent permitted by applicable law.

     21.  COSTS AND EXPENSES OF FORECLOSURE. Subject to any limitations thereon
imposed by applicable law, in case of any sale of the Mortgaged Premises, or any

which Grantor agrees to pay and all of such shall be immediately due and payable
upon demand.

every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise. No delay in the exercise or omission to exercise any
remedy or right accruing on any default shall impair any such remedy or right or
be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein, nor
shall it affect any subsequent default of the same or a different nature. Every
such remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, and when
and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary.

     25.  TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARY PARTY TO SUITS. If Trustee or Beneficiary (in
its capacity as Beneficiary, but not in its capacity as Manager under the

actually commenced, then in any such case, Grantor agrees to pay to Trustee and
Beneficiary, immediately and without demand, all reasonable costs, charges,
expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary in any such
case, and the same shall constitute so much additional indebtedness hereby
secured payable upon demand. Beneficiary's rights, in its capacity as Manager
