[1] | Approximately $15 million of the standby letters of credit serve as credit support for industrial revenue bonds. The remaining letters of credit support various insurance related agreements, primarily workers’ compensation, auto liability, and general liability policy requirements. These letters of credit will expire at various dates during 2014 and 2015 and will be renewed as required.
[2] | In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.3 million of obligations of a special-purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At June 30, 2014, the Company has a de minimis liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.
[3] | Rayonier issues surety bonds primarily to secure timber harvesting obligations in the State of Washington. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2014 and 2015 and are expected to be renewed as required.
