12. | COMMITMENTS
As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Rayonier leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. The Company’s commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2012 except as related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the New Zealand joint venture. The following table shows the increase in the Company’s commitments, as of June 30, 2013, as a result of the JV acquisition:
| Forestry Rights (a) |  | Forest Leases (b)
Remaining 2013 | $ | 884 |  |  | $ | 541 |
2014 | 1,528 |  |  | 1,075 |
2015 | 1,528 |  |  | 1,075 |
2016 | 1,528 |  |  | 1,075 |
2017 | 1,528 |  |  | 1,075 |
Thereafter | 39,757 |  |  | 53,889 |
| $ | 46,753 |  |  | $ | 58,730 |
(a) Forestry rights grant access to the leased land for the purpose of harvesting. The majority of the JV’s forestry rights terminate with the harvest of the land’s existing crop and require the land to be left in the cut condition upon termination. (b) Forest leases have an average term between 30 and 99 years. Annual rent is indexed to the Consumer Price Index or current market values. A number of these leases require the land to be returned in a fully stocked condition (replanted). The JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government. The leases extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the leases renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of June 30, 2013, the JV has three CFL’s under termination notice, with one terminating in 2034 and the remaining two expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market value, with three yearly rent reviews. The total annual license fee on the CFL’s is $2.7 million per year.
