ARTICLE II
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT ADVANCES
SECTION 2.01. The Revolving Credit Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving Credit Advances to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Termination Date up to the full amount of such Lender's Commitment hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender at any time outstanding for all Borrowers plus such Lender's then outstanding LC Exposure shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made by all Lenders plus the total LC Exposure shall not exceed at any time the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. The Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01 subject to limitation set forth in this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.
SECTION 2.02. Making the Revolving Credit Advances (a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 Noon (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, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of a Revolving Credit Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier or telex in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iv) remittance instructions and (v) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Revolving Credit 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 portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
33
Raynoier - 2011 Credit Agreement

forth in Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower in the manner specified by the applicable Borrower in the Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing.
(a)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.
(b)Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Borrower.
(c)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.
SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.21 and 2.22 of this Agreement), each Borrower may request the issuance of, and each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, one or more Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Closing Date until the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Termination Date on a revolving basis, provided that no Trade Letters of Credit shall be issued and the minimum amount for any standby Letter of Credit shall be $100,000 (or such other amount that the Issuing Bank may determine at its own discretion). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the 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 Borrower shall at all times have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations, duties and responsibilities of an account party in respect thereof or (ii) for the joint and several account of such Borrower and another Borrower. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
(a)Notice of Issuance; Amendment; Renewal; Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent on the third Business Day (or such
34
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

other period of time acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) prior to requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the 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 $100,000,000, and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made by all Lenders plus the total LC Exposure shall not exceed at any time the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders.
(b)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the 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. 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 Applicable 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 Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement
35
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 (i) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, or (ii) if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such LC Disbursement date, then not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (x) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such day of receipt or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such day of receipt; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Advance. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable 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 clause (h) of this Section 2.03. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the 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
36
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 (e) of this Section 2.03 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein;
(ii)any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
(iii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person, other than payment in full of all amounts due and payable, may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the 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;
(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 (including the circumstance specified in clause (v) above) 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) with respect to any Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree that each Issuing Bank shall
37
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 Revolving Credit Advances as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2.03) or shall be deemed to have reimbursed such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimbursed such LC Disbursement at the rate per annum specified in Section 2.07(a)(i), provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse (including with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2.03) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2.03, then Section 2.07(b)(ii) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this subsection shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to subsection (e) 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 the LC Commitment of an Issuing Bank. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 of this Agreement, all or a portion of the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank may be replaced with an LC Commitment from a new or another existing Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, such new or other existing Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (with notice to the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment is being replaced); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall review any such proposed agreement for form only and not with respect to the identity of any successor Issuing Bank or the identity of the Issuing Bank to be replaced. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the LC Commitment of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued and payable pursuant to Section 2.04(c) for the account of the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment is being replaced, 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
38
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

LC Commitment). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the Issuing Bank succeeding to the LC Commitment being replaced shall have all the rights and obligations of 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 the LC Commitment of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment was replaced shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement that remain outstanding after the effective date of such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit in excess of its remaining LC Commitment (if any).
SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, subject to Section 2.22(a)(iii) of this Agreement, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each 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 June 30, 2011, 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).
(a)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.
(b)Participation and Fronting Fees. The applicable Borrower agrees, subject to Section 2.22(a)(iii) of this Agreement, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each 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 Applicable 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 the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% 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).
39
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

(c)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 made to such Borrower that are 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 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 (A) 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 (B) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall
40
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify Rayonier and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(a)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a)the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b)the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining its affected 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

Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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.
(a)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 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 owed 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 2.23.
SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or any Issuing Bank;
(ii)subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or any Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered
42
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

by Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank); or
(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return in any material respect on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Revolving Credit Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, jointly and severally, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and delivered to Rayonier, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, jointly and severally, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Rayonier of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except
43
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert 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 (5) Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, Converts all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Borrower then outstanding into Alternate Base Rate Advances in accordance with Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.14. Payments. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to 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, 2.20(b) and 2.23) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable 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 Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignor and the Lender assignee thereunder in accordance with such Assignment and Assumption, on a pro rata basis and subject to all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date.
(a)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.
SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified
44
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(a)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Rayonier by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Rayonier (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Rayonier, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Rayonier and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement

If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, agree to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

46
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Advances or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Borrower in the amount of such participation

(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.
(a)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each 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 Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from each Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.

47
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the applicable Borrower 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 applicable Borrower.
SECTION 2.19. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.

(a)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.
(b)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.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires any Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(a)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.20(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
49
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

(i)the applicable Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;
(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Credit Advances and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.23 from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non‑Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.21. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders' obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided (other than Liens of the types described in clause (a) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the applicable Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.21 or Section 2.22 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest
50
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.22, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21; fourth, as Rayonier may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Credit Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Rayonier, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Credit Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that
51

if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Advances or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Credit Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Advances of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Advances of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Credit Advances and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Facility without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.
(A)Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.04(a) to the contrary, each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances funded by it, and (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.
(B)Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.04(c) to the contrary, each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive participation fees and fronting fees with respect to Letters of Credit under Section 2.04(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.
(C)With respect to any Facility Fee, participation fees and fronting fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless
52
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

any Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.22(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.23. Breakage. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder (but including, for the avoidance of doubt, any loss or expense incurred as result of an assignment and delegation by a Lender under Section 2.20(b) of this Agreement), which results in (a) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar
53
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

Rate Advance prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance to an Alternate Base Rate Advance, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (c) any Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Revolving Credit Advance shall have been given by any Borrower hereunder (which indemnified amount shall include, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the 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) (any of these events being called a “Breakage Event”). In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Rate Advance that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Revolving Credit Advance over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be delivered to Rayonier and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.24. Administrative Agent's Clawback. (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of ABR Revolving Credit Advances, one (1) hour prior to the proposed time of such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrowers jointly and severally, and the applicable Lenders severally, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate at such time applicable to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing. If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Credit Advance included in such Revolving Credit Borrowing. Any such payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
54
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

(a)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Rayonier prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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 the direct or indirect holders (in their capacities as such) of Capital Stock of RFR or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than (A) dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of RFR (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock of RFR (other than Redeemable Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), (B) the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions to the extent declared or paid to RFR or any Restricted Subsidiary, and (C) the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions by any Restricted Subsidiary to all holders of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis (including, in the case of RFR, to the Managing General Partner)); (ii) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of RFR or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any such Capital Stock owned by a Wholly‑Owned Restricted Subsidiary); (iii) make any principal payment on, or purchase, defease, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment, scheduled sinking fund payment or other Stated Maturity, any Subordinated Debt (other than any such Debt owned by RFR or a Wholly-Owned 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

Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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 Managing General 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 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.
(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 RFR 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
74
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

aggregate Net RFR Proceeds (less the amount of any such Net RFR 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 by Liens 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 RFR Proceeds, RFR or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Working Capital Facility or otherwise invest such Net RFR Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. Any such Net RFR 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.
(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;
75
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

(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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.04, upon, and at all times after, the RFR Restriction Termination Date, this Section 5.04 shall terminate and RFR and its Subsidiaries shall no longer be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04.
SECTION 5.05. Financial Covenants. Rayonier hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Commitments remains in effect, any Revolving Credit Advance remains outstanding and unpaid, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (unless the outstanding amount of the LC Exposure related to such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized), or any obligation of any Borrower is owing to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than contingent obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f), shall survive the payment in full of all other amounts referred to in such Section 8.04(f)), Rayonier shall:
(a)Leverage Ratio. Cause, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter of Rayonier, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Debt of Rayonier and its Subsidiaries on such date to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA of Rayonier and its Subsidiaries for the four Fiscal Quarters ended on such date not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00.
(b)Interest Coverage Ratio. Cause, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter of Rayonier, the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDA of Rayonier and its Subsidiaries for the four Fiscal Quarters ended on such date to (ii) Consolidated interest expense of Rayonier and its Subsidiaries for the four Fiscal Quarters ended on such date not to be less than 2.50 to 1.00.

ARTICLE VII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 7.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and no Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any respective Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
80
Raynoier - 2011 Credit Agreement

and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 8.03), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by Rayonier, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.
(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
81
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Revolving Credit Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 7.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub‑agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 7.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Rayonier. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to the Borrowers' approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in borough of Manhattan in New York City. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages (including any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages claimed or asserted (x) in breach of Section 8.04(d) or (y) by a Person not a party to this Agreement), liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties which arise out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with
87
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, any Environmental Action, or any liability relating to any Environmental Law, Environmental Permit or Hazardous Material that relates in any way to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (y) arising out of, or in connection with, any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by any Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than claims, litigation, investigations or proceedings brought against Credit Suisse in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, against any other Issuing Bank in its capacity as Issuing Bank, or against any of the financial institutions listed in the recitals to this Agreement in their respective capacities as bookrunners, syndication agents, arrangers, documentation agents or any other similar roles or capacities in respect of the Facility). The Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without Rayonier's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if such Proceeding is settled with Rayonier's written consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, then the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party in the manner set forth above. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested, in accordance with the foregoing, that the Borrowers reimburse such Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceeding for which reimbursement is required pursuant to the terms of this provision, the Borrowers shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without their written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by Rayonier of such request for reimbursement and (x) the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request for legal or other expenses required to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of this provision prior to the date of such settlement.
(b)Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.04 to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender's share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders' Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
88
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(c).
(c)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but without limiting in any respect the indemnification obligations of any Borrower under clause (b) above, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto (and with respect to the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries also), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however that if an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the waiver made by the Indemnified Parties under this clause (d) shall immediately terminate, and shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever. No Indemnified Party referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(d)Payments. All amounts due under this Section 8.04 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit
89
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender party to this Agreement as of the 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.

(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Advances at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Advances at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 8.07 in the
90
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 8.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Rayonier otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Advance or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 8.07 and, in addition:
(A)the consent of Rayonier (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Rayonier shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided further that any Borrower's consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facility;
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
91
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.
(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Rayonier and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Revolving Credit Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Credit Advances and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.07, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 and 8.03, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 8.07.
(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain, at its address referred to in Section 8.02(a), a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent

and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Rayonier and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.04(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver which would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 8.07; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 8.07. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.
(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Rayonier's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f)Voting Participants. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.07 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) is the owner of a participation in a Commitment (including Revolving Credit Advances outstanding thereunder) initially in the amount of at least $11,000,000; (ii) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being called a "Voting Participant"); and (iii)
93
Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

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

For purposes of this Section 8.09, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential; provided, further, that, in the case of financial information (except to the extent publicly available) received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower after the date hereof, such financial information shall be deemed confidential unless it is identified as “public” or “nonconfidential” information at the time of delivery. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.09 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 8.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by such Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”), whether such amounts shall have accrued prior to, on or after the Closing Date, (b) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Borrower (other than itself), monetary or otherwise, under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of each Borrower (other than itself), monetary or otherwise, under each Interest Rate Agreement in effect on the date hereof to which any Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) is a party and each Interest Rate Agreement entered into after the date hereof with any counterparty that is a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Interest Rate Agreement is entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the “Obligations”).
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of TRS, ROC and any Additional Guarantor hereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of TRS, ROC or such Additional Guarantor contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of TRS, ROC or such Additional Guarantor as the case may be, pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among TRS, ROC or such Additional Guarantor as the case may be, and other Affiliates of Rayonier of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties.
Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the applicable Borrower and any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce
Exh. C-1-2

or exercise any right or remedy against the applicable Borrower or any other guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the failure to take or perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral security held by or on behalf of any Guaranteed Party or (d) the failure of any person to comply with Section 5.01(l) of the Credit Agreement, Section 19 of the RFR Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, Section 19 of the TRS Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or Section 19 of the any Additional Subsidiary Guarantor Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 3. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to any collateral security held for payment of the Obligations or any balance of any deposit or other account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in favor of the applicable Borrower or any other person.
SECTION 4. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the applicable Borrower's Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the applicable Borrower's Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such Obligations, any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of an Obligation or any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the applicable Borrower's Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the applicable Borrower's Obligations), and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any of the foregoing actions.
SECTION 5. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the applicable Borrower or the unenforceability of the applicable Borrower's Obligations or any part thereof from any cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the applicable
Exh. C-1-3

Borrower (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of such Borrower's Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)). The Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the applicable Borrower's Obligations, make any other accommodation with the applicable Borrower or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the applicable Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the applicable Borrower's Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the applicable Borrower, any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any collateral security.
SECTION 6. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that, upon the failure of any Borrower (other than itself) to pay any of its Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the applicable Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the respective Borrower's Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (other than indebtedness of RFR held by TRS) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower (other than indebtedness of RFR held by TRS), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the applicable Borrower's Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 7. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each applicable Borrower's financial condition and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such Borrower's Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties will have any duty
Exh. C-1-4

to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 8. Representations and Warranties; Taxes. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects. Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement shall apply equally to each Guarantor with respect to the payments made by it hereunder.
SECTION 9. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f), have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 10. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Additional Guarantor, when a Guarantee Supplement (in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto) has been executed and delivered by such Additional Guarantor to the Administrative Agent), and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (except in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d) of the Credit Agreement) (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 11. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
Exh. C-1-5

thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and of the other Guaranteed Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Administrative Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 12. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 13. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 14. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Revolving Credit Advances and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Credit Advance or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid, the LC Exposure does not equal zero or has not been Cash Collateralized or the Commitments and the LC Commitment have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Exh. C-1-6

SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed Party or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (a) of Section 17 of this Agreement.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
Exh. C-1-7

AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 18.

Upon execution and delivery by a Subsidiary of Rayonier of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto, such Person shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 20. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Guaranteed Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Guarantor different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.

Rayonier - 2011 Credit Agreement

EXHIBIT C-2 -- FORM OF RFR
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE
AGREEMENT
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of April __, 2011 (this “Agreement”), among each of the subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto or becoming a party hereto as provided in Section 19 (each such subsidiary individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) of RAYONIER FOREST RESOURCES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“RFR”), and CREDIT SUISSE AG, acting through one or more of its affiliates or branches, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Guaranteed Parties (as defined below).
Reference is made to the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April __, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Rayonier Inc. (“Rayonier”), Rayonier TRS Holdings Inc. (“TRS”), RFR and Rayonier Operating Company LLC (“ROC”), as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto (the “Issuing Banks”) and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make Revolving Credit Advances to the Guaranteed Borrowers (as defined below), and the Issuing Banks have agreed, among other things, to issue Letters of Credit at the request of or for the account of the Guaranteed Borrowers R, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of RFR, ROC and Rayonier and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of such Revolving Credit Advances by the Lenders and the issuance of such Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and of the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, unless and until the termination or cessation of the RFR Guarantee Restrictions, the obligations guaranteed hereby are solely the obligations of RFR under the Loan Documents and not of any other Borrower. Unless and until the repayment in full of RFR's obligations in respect of the Installment Notes and the termination or cessation of the RFR Guarantee Restrictions, Revolving Credit Advances made thereunder to any other Borrower, and Letters of Credit issued thereunder but neither requested by RFR nor for its account, shall not have the benefit of the guarantee provided hereby.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and
Exh. C-2-1

not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by each Guaranteed Borrower of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Revolving Credit Advances made to each Guaranteed Borrower, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by each Guaranteed Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of such Guaranteed Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”), whether such amounts shall have accrued prior to, on or after the Closing Date, (b) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Guaranteed Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of each Guaranteed Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Interest Rate Agreement in effect on the date hereof to which any Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) is a party and each Interest Rate Agreement entered into after the date hereof with any counterparty that is a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Interest Rate Agreement is entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the “Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. The term “Guaranteed Borrowers” shall mean (a) at any time prior to the repayment in full of RFR's obligations in respect of the Installment Notes and the termination or cessation of the RFR Guarantee Restrictions, RFR; and (b) immediately upon and at any time after, the termination or cessation of the RFR Guarantee Restrictions, RFR, Rayonier, ROC and TRS.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of RFR or Rayonier of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or
Exh. C-2-2

renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

The obligations of the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and of the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of Rayonier of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Exh. C-3-2

provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the failure to take or perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral security held by or on behalf of any Guaranteed Party or (d) the failure of any person to comply with Section 5.01(l) of the Credit Agreement or Section 19 hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations), and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any of the foregoing actions.
SECTION 5. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations except contingent indemnification
Exh. C-3-3

and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)). The Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any collateral security.
SECTION 6. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party as provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 7. Information. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower's financial condition and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 8. Representations and Warranties; Taxes. Each of the Subsidiary
Exh. C-3-4

Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement shall apply equally to each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the payments made by it hereunder.
SECTION 9. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend to any Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit has been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Party or any Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 10. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments; Releases. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof (or an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto) executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (except in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d) of the Credit Agreement) (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor without the approval of any other Subsidiary Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 11. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and of the other Guaranteed Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
Exh. C-3-5

otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Except as expressly provided in Section 19, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Administrative Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 12. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 14. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Revolving Credit Advances and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and unpaid, the LC Exposure does not equal zero or has not been Cash Collateralized or the Commitments and the LC Commitment have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
Exh. C-3-6

each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or, any other Guaranteed Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (a) of Section 17 of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Upon execution and delivery by a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 20. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Guaranteed Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Subsidiary Guarantor different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.

ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTOR GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April __, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Rayonier Inc. (“Rayonier”), Rayonier TRS Holdings Inc., Rayonier Forest Resources, L.P. and Rayonier Operating Company LLC, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto (the “Issuing Banks”) and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make Revolving Credit Advances to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks have agreed, among other things, to issue Letters of Credit at the request of or for the account of to the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of such Revolving Credit Advances by the Lenders and the issuance of such Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and of the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances and the Issuing Banks to issue such Letters of Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by each Borrower of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Revolving Credit Advances made such Borrower, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by such Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations
C-4-1

incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”), whether such amounts shall have accrued prior to, on or after the Closing Date, (b) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of each Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Interest Rate Agreement in effect on the date hereof to which any Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) is a party and each Interest Rate Agreement entered into after the date hereof with any counterparty that is a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Interest Rate Agreement is entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the “Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Borrowers of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement,
C-4-2

including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the failure to take or perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral security held by or on behalf of any Guaranteed Party or (d) the failure of any person to comply with Section 5.01(l) of the Credit Agreement or Section 19 hereof.
SECTION 3. Guarantee of Payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to any collateral security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit or other account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in favor of any Borrower or any other person.
SECTION 4. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of an Obligation or any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations), and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of any of the foregoing actions.
SECTION 5. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f)). The Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any collateral security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral security in lieu of
C-4-3

foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any collateral security.
SECTION 6. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party as provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 7. Information. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower's financial condition and assets, all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects.

SECTION 9. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations except contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations, which pursuant to Section 8.04(f) of the Credit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment in full of all obligations referred to in such Section 8.04(f) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend to any Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Party or any Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof (or an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto) executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (except in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 5.03(c) or Section 5.03(d) of the Credit Agreement) (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor without the approval of any other Subsidiary Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 11. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and of the other Guaranteed Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Subsidiary
C-4-5

Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Except as expressly provided in Section 19, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Administrative Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 12. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 13. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of Rayonier at the address set forth in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 14. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Revolving Credit Advances and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and unpaid, the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit does not equal zero or has not been Cash Collateralized or the Commitments and the LC Commitment have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.

SECTION 17. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed Party, any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or, any other Guaranteed Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Subsidiary Guarantors 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 Subsidiary Guarantor 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 Subsidiary Guarantor from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (a) of Section 17 of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process at the address provided for notices in Section 13. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
C-4-7

OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 18.
SECTION 19. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Certain additional Subsidiaries of Rayonier may be required from time to time, under the terms of Credit Agreement, to enter into this Agreement as Subsidiary Guarantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 20. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Guaranteed Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Guarantor different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Guaranteed Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Guaranteed Party or their respective Affiliates may have.
