(a)The aggregate purchase price payable by Buyer to Seller in consideration for the Property shall be (i) an amount payable in cash (the “Cash Portion”) equal to Two Hundred Sixty-Four Million and 00/100 Dollars ($264,000,000.00) (the “Initial Purchase Price”) less the total amount of principal outstanding under the First Mortgage Loan at Closing and (ii) the assumption by Buyer of the First Mortgage Loan as provided in and subject to Section 5.9, subject to adjustment of the Cash Portion as provided in Section 1.6 (as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).

(b)Following the execution of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare a written allocation of the Purchase Price among (i) the Land and its appurtenances (including, without limitation, the Licenses, Assumed Contracts, Real Property Leases and Assumed Condemnations, but excluding the Timber), on a county-by-county and state-by-state basis, (ii) the Nursery, the Orchard and the Waynesboro Office, (iii) the Timber, on a county-by-county and state-by-state basis, (iv) the Timber Lease, and (v) the Personal Property, Personal Property Leases and Intangible Property. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes that arise in connection with the allocation of the Purchase Price, provided that if the Parties are unable to resolve any such disputes, the Parties shall appoint a nationally-recognized accounting firm, and such firm shall resolve any disputes. The Parties agree that the accounting firm's resolution shall be conclusive for the purposes of determining the allocation of Purchase Price as of the Closing Date. Further, the Parties agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price shall be documented in a written agreement signed by both Parties on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to agree on adjustments to the Purchase Price after the Closing to reflect any of the adjustments and substitutions made pursuant to Section 1.8 or any adjustments to the consideration paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.6, and each Party and their respective Affiliates shall prepare and timely file Form 8594 (and any analogous state and local Tax forms) in a manner consistent with this Section 1.5.

(c)Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Buyer has deposited the sum of

Two Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,400,000) in immediately available US Dollars (the “Deposit”) directly to the Title Company. If the Closing does not occur, then the Deposit shall then be returned or delivered to the Party entitled thereto as provided for in this Agreement. The Deposit shall be invested by the Title Company in an interest-bearing account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including those certain escrow instructions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be deemed for all purposes to be a part of the Deposit and be released by the Title Company to whichever party is entitled to receive the principal amount of the Deposit under this Agreement, but shall be credited towards the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price in the event of a Closing.

(d) Subject to Section 2.3(b), the payment of the Purchase Price shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, including for the avoidance of doubt, any withholding taxes provided Seller provides to Buyer prior to Closing any affidavits, certificates and forms relating to withholding Taxes with respect to Seller and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required to be provided by Seller under applicable Law or by Governmental Authority in order to establish a complete exemption from withholding Taxes, or such affidavits, certificates or forms reasonably required from Seller and identified by the Title Company in order to establish a complete exemption from withholding Taxes (including, for example, an affidavit of Seller's residence or gain or Seller's certificate of exemption, as applicable, and any income tax withholding forms required in the State of Alabama). If Seller does not provide Buyer prior to the Closing such affidavits, certificates, or forms that establish a complete exemption from withholding Taxes, these withholding Taxes shall be Seller's responsibility (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) and Buyer shall be entitled to withhold such Taxes for which an exemption has not been established from the Purchase Price in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Certain Adjustments and Payments. The Cash Portion of the Purchase Price shall be subject to the following adjustments and payments:

(a)Timber Harvest Adjustment.

i.For the purpose of this Section 1.6:

“Aggregate Excess Harvest Value” means the sum of the Excess Harvest Values, if any, relating to the Timberlands and Leased Timberlands.

“Excess Harvest” means a harvest of Timber to the extent that such harvest was not already reflected as depleted in the June 2011 Inventory. Any Timber cut down but not shipped off the applicable Timberlands or Leased Timberlands as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed unharvested for purposes of this determination, unless such Timber has been sold to a third party.

“Excess Harvest Value” means the product of (i) the Harvest Amount of any Excess Harvest and (ii) the applicable Harvested Timber Unit Value for such Timber.

“Harvest Amount” means for any Excess Harvest the volume of Timber that was actually removed from the Timberlands or Leased Timberlands and not already reflected as depleted in the June 2011 Inventory.

“Harvested Timber Unit Value” means with respect to any particular Timber, (i) if the applicable Timber was subject to a Timber Sale Agreement, it shall mean the sale price specified in the applicable Timber Sale Agreement and (ii) if the applicable Timber was not subject to a Timber Sale Agreement, the fair market value on the Closing Date for such Timber.

“June 2011 Inventory” means the Timber inventory included as Section 1.6(a)(ii) of Seller's

Disclosure Letter.

“Net Harvest Adjustment” means an amount equal to the (i) the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value plus (ii) the Prepaid Amount minus (iii) the Unused Depletion Payment.

“Ongoing Timber Sale Agreements” means the Timber Sale Agreements listed in Section 1.6(a) of Seller's Disclosure Letter and any other Timber Sale Agreement entered into prior to the Closing in compliance with Section 5.2.

“Prepaid Amount” means the total amount paid to Seller under any Timber Sale Agreement prior to Closing to the extent that the Timber related to such prepayment is standing or lying on the Timberlands or the Leased Timberlands on the Closing Date.

“Timber Sale Agreement” means any timber sale agreement or other commitment to sell Timber from any of the Timberlands or Leased Timberlands, created or in effect at any time prior to the Closing.

“Unused Depletion Payment” means, (i) with respect to any Ongoing Timber Sale Agreement for which any of the Timber subject to such commitment was reflected as depleted in the June 2011 Inventory but is still standing or lying on the Timberlands or Leased Timberlands on the Closing Date and Seller did not already receive the sale proceeds for such Timber standing or lying on the Timberlands or the Leased Timberlands prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to the contract sales price for such Timber (or if there is no contractually specified price, the fair market value as of the Closing Date for such Timber) and (ii) with respect to any other Timber that was reflected as depleted in the June 2011 Inventory but is still standing or lying in the Timberlands or Leased Timberlands on the Closing Date and has not been sold, the fair market value for such Timber.

ii.The Initial Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(x) if the Net Harvest Adjustment is a positive number (that is, the sum of the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value and the Prepaid Amount exceed the Unused Depletion Payment) the Initial Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Net Harvest Adjustment; and

(y) if the Net Harvest Adjustment is a negative number (that is, the Unused Depletion Payment is greater than the sum of the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value and the Prepaid Amount), the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by the Net Harvest Adjustment.

iii.No later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer a harvest report (the “Harvest Statement”) certifying (w) the Harvest Amount, (x) the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, (y) the Prepaid Amount and (z) the Unused Depletion Payment. For purposes of preparing the Harvest Statement, Seller will calculate the volume of Timber constituting an Excess Harvest and the volume of Timber relating to the Unused Depletion Payment on a basis consistent with Seller's past practice and reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

iv.In connection with the preparation of the Harvest Statement, for a period of thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall allow Seller and its agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records, representatives and agents of Seller, upon reasonable written notice to Buyer and with a Buyer representative present.

v.Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Harvest Statement to deliver to Seller written notice (a “Harvest Objection Notice”) of any objections to the calculation of any portion of the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount or the Unused Depletion Payment, which Harvest Objection Notice shall request commencement of the procedure set forth in this Section 1.6(a)(v). If Seller does not receive a Harvest Objection Notice prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to Seller's calculation of any portion of the Harvest Amount, Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount or the Unused Depletion Payment.

vi.During the period following receipt of such Harvest Objection Notice, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment. If Seller and Buyer agree on the calculation of the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment, then such amounts and the corresponding adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price shall become final and binding on the Parties and the Parties shall promptly thereafter execute an amendment to the final closing statement confirming such amounts and the corresponding adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on any of the disputed calculations within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Harvest Objection Notice, the Parties shall refer outstanding matters relating to the calculation of the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment to the Forestry Consultant and each Party will, at a mutually agreed time within five (5) Business Days after referral of the matter to the Forestry Consultant, simultaneously submit to the Forestry Consultant (and each other) their respective calculations of the disputed portions of the Harvest Amount, Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment, and any necessary supporting documentation. Within ten (10) days of such submissions, the Forestry Consultant will select one of the two submissions (and shall not select any other amount) as being most representative of the disputed portion of the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment and the submission so selected shall be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party.

vii.Upon a final determination of the Harvest Amount, the Aggregate Excess Harvest Value, the Prepaid Amount and the Unused Depletion Payment, the Initial Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect the final Net Harvest Adjustment based on the formula set forth in clause (ii) above and (x) if the Initial Purchase Price as adjusted by the final Net Harvest Adjustment is greater than the Initial Purchase Price as adjusted based on the initial calculation of the Net Harvest Adjustment pursuant to clause (viii) below, Buyer shall pay the amount of such difference to Seller and (y) if the Initial Purchase Price as adjusted by the final Net Harvest Adjustment is less than the Initial Purchase Price as adjusted by the initial calculation of the Net Harvest Adjustment pursuant to clause (viii) below, Seller will pay the amount of such difference to Buyer. Any such payment shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the recipient.

viii.The Parties will meet at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing and agree on a preliminary adjustment based on the anticipated amount of the Net Harvest Adjustment. Each Party agrees to act reasonably in discussing any proposed adjustment, but if they fail to agree on a preliminary adjustment they will proceed to the Closing, subject to

a complete adjustment post-Closing pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 1.6(a). The Cash Portion of the Purchase Price paid at the Closing will reflect such preliminary adjustment.

ix.In the event that on or after the Closing Date Seller receives proceeds from the sale of any Timber pursuant to any Ongoing Timber Sale Agreement or any other Timber Sale Agreement entered into prior to the Closing in compliance with Section 5.2, it will remit the proceeds received to Buyer promptly after receipt. At the request of Buyer, Seller will confirm in writing whether it has received any such payments.

(b)Title Objections.

i.Title Objection Procedure. Buyer shall have until October 4, 2011 (the “Title Objection Period”) to deliver to Seller written notice of any objection to matters reflected in or disclosed by any Title Commitment or any other matter affecting title to the Combined Real Property (or a survey matter) revealed by any survey, inspection or investigation of the Combined Real Property that is conducted by or on behalf of Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period, or, to the extent an access matter is first disclosed to Buyer after the date hereof in an update to Seller's Disclosure Letter provided by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, access to the Combined Real Property, in each case that is not a Permitted Exception pursuant to Sections 1.4(a) through (d) or (g) through (q), which in Buyer's reasonable judgment, would either constitute a title defect or would, individually, adversely affect the use, value, operation or commercial growing or harvesting of timber or seedlings on (each as applicable to the Intended Use) any parcel or portion of the Combined Real Property for its Intended Use (each, a “Title Objection” and collectively, the “Title Objections”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Buyer shall have no right to object to any Permitted Exception pursuant to this Section 1.6(b) and, for the purposes of this Agreement, such items will not be considered Title Objections and (ii) if any Title Objection does not adversely affect the fair market value of the applicable portion of the Combined Real Property (assuming use for its Intended Use) by more than $25,000 (as compared to the fair market value such parcel would have were such Title Objection to be removed or otherwise cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer) (each, a “Small Title Objection” and collectively, the “Small Title Objections”), Buyer shall have no right to object to such Small Title Objection with respect to such parcel of the Combined Real Property pursuant to this Section 1.6(b) and, for purposes of this Agreement, such items will not be considered Title Objections and will be considered Permitted Exceptions. Upon the receipt of Title Objections from Buyer, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to cure or cause to be cured any such Title Objection, and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of the Title Objections whether Seller elects to cure the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such time period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such Title Objections. Any Title Objection shall be deemed to be cured if (a), in the case of a Title Objection related to a Title Commitment, Seller (without cost to Buyer) causes the Title Company to issue a Title Policy for the affected Combined Real Property not raising such Title Objection as an exception to the Title Policy or (b) in the case of any other Title Objection, Buyer is reasonably satisfied with the cure that Seller has effected. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Seller shall be obligated to cure, on or before the Closing Date, all Liens against the Combined Real Property evidencing monetary encumbrances (other than Liens for real estate Taxes or assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date, the Louisiana Pacific Mortgages and Liens securing the First Mortgage Loan) (“Monetary Liens”) and all voluntary monetary Liens created after the Effective Time without Buyer's consent that are

not Permitted Exceptions, including any that would constitute Small Title Objections but for the provisions of this sentence (“Voluntary Liens”) and (ii) Buyer shall be deemed to have objected to all of the requirements set forth in Schedule B, Section 1 and I of the Title Commitments (other than those specifically applicable to Buyer). If Seller does not receive written notice of the Title Objections for any objection to matters reflected on Schedule B, Section 2 or II of a particular Title Commitment (other than general or standard exceptions) that are identified by a specified recorded book and page or instrument/document number reference on or before the expiration of the Title Objection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any and all such specific matters and Buyer shall be deemed to accept title to the Combined Real Property encompassed within such Title Commitment subject to all such specific matters. Any such Title Objection waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of the Purchase Price. On the earlier of (i) the date specified by Buyer in a written notice to Seller or (ii) the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the end of the MetLife Negotiation Period, at Seller's expense, Seller shall order, and thereafter obtain and deliver to Buyer as promptly as possible, an update of each Title Commitment; provided, however, that Seller shall only be obligated to order and obtain one such update of each Title Commitment. The same title objection procedure set forth in this Section 1.6(b)(i) shall apply to any new matters or exceptions revealed by any update of a Title Commitment, except that Buyer's Title Objection Period shall be ten (10) days after receipt of such update and Seller's response period shall be within three (3) days after its receipt of any Title Objection raised by Buyer relating to such update of a Title Commitment, and, if applicable, the Closing shall be extended for a sufficient period to accommodate such time periods for Buyer's objections and Seller's response.

ii.Remedy for Title Failure. In the event of any Title Failure (other than any Title Failure where the fair market value of the applicable parcel, determined as provided in clause (v) below, is less than $25,000 (a “Small Title Failure”)), Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, subject to Section 1.7, Section 6.2(g) and Section 8.1(e), shall be to adjust the Purchase Price downward by the fair market value of the property subject to such Title Failure as provided in Section 1.6(b)(v) and such Title Failure shall be a Permitted Exception. Nothing in this Section 1.6(b)(ii) is intended to override the condition to Closing contained in Section 6.2(g) or the termination right in Section 8.1(e).

iii.Remedy for Title Objection. In the event Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Objection (other than with respect to Title Failures, which are addressed in clause (ii) above, and other than Monetary Liens and Voluntary Liens), then Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, subject to Section 1.7, Section 6.2(g) and Section 8.1(e), shall be to adjust the Purchase Price downward as provided in Section 1.6(b)(v) below, in which case such Title Objection shall be a Permitted Exception. Nothing in this Section 1.6(b)(iii) is intended to override the condition to Closing contained in Section 6.2(g) or the termination right in Section 8.1(e).

iv.Intentionally Deleted.

v.FMV Calculation For Title Failures and Title Objections. The fair market value impact of any Title Failure shall be an amount equal to the fair market value of the applicable portion of the Combined Real Property, assuming use for the Intended Use and that Seller could deliver good title to such portion of the Combined Real Property subject only to Permitted Exceptions (excluding the title defect), and this fair market value is referred

to below as the “Title Defect Impact”. The fair market value impact of any Title Objection (other than a Title Failure) shall be the difference between (a) the fair market value of the applicable portion of the Combined Real Property assuming use for the Intended Use and assuming that such Title Objections were removed or otherwise cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer and (b) the fair market value of such parcel of the Combined Real Property (assuming use for the Intended Use) as affected by such Title Objection (the “Title Objection Impact”). During the period following receipt of any notice of Title Objection, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the amount of the Title Defect Impact or Title Objection Impact and whether any proposed Title Failure is a Small Title Failure or any proposed Title Objection is a Small Title Objection (as applicable). If Seller and Buyer agree on the calculation of the Title Failure Impact (and agree that such Title Failure is not a Small Title Failure) or any Title Objection Impact (and agree that such Title Objection is not a Small Title Objection), then such amounts shall become final and binding on the Parties for purposes of calculating the Determined Value of such Title Failure or Title Objection for purposes of Section 1.7 and any reduction to the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.6(b). If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on any of the disputed calculations within five (5) Business Days after Seller's receipt of the notice of the Title Failure or Title Objection, the Parties shall refer outstanding matters relating to the calculations of the Title Defect Impacts and Title Objection Impacts to the Forestry Consultant and each Party will, at a mutually agreed time within five (5) Business Days after referral of the matter to the Forestry Consultant, simultaneously submit to the Forestry Consultant and each other their respective calculations of the disputed portions of the Title Defect Impacts and Title Objection Impacts, and any necessary supporting documentation. Within ten (10) days of such submissions, the Forestry Consultant will select one of the two submissions (and shall not select any other amount) as being most representative of the disputed portion of the Title Defect Impacts and Title Objection Impacts and the submission so selected shall be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein as to any Title Failure or Title Objection shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party.

vi.For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to cure any Title Failure or Title Objection (i), in the case of a Title Failure or Title Objection related to a Title Commitment, by delivering an updated Title Commitment and an endorsement to the Title Policies for the applicable parcel of Property including the deletion of such Title Objection or cure of such Title Failure issued by the Title Company in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and, if applicable, an endorsement to MetLife's title insurance policy acceptable to MetLife or (ii) in the case of any other Title Objection, by curing such Title Objection to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. Seller shall be responsible for the costs associated with the title examinations and the issuance of the Title Commitments and the premiums payable in connection with the Title Policy and the endorsements described in this Section 1.6(b)(vi). Upon completion of such cure with respect to any parcel of Property, Buyer will pay to Seller that portion of the Initial Purchase Price (if any) related to such Property previously withheld by Buyer as provided in clause (v) above.

(c)Casualty Loss.

i.Notification of Casualty Loss. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly give notice to Buyer of any Casualty Loss with respect to any of the Combined Real Property of which Seller has knowledge occurring during the period from May 1, 2011 through the end of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date

(the “Adjustment Period”), together with a written estimate of the acreage affected (location and amount) and the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber and the anticipated amount of any Casualty Damages (as defined below), as determined in good faith by Seller, resulting from such Casualty Loss. Buyer shall have until the sixtieth (60^th) day after the Closing Date to deliver to Seller written notice of any Casualty Loss with respect to the Timberlands or the land subject to the Timber Lease that occurred during the Adjustment Period but was not identified by Seller in accordance with the previous sentence of this Section 1.6(c)(i), together with a written estimate of the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber and any anticipated Casualty Damages, as determined in good faith by Buyer, resulting from such Casualty Loss. If Seller does not receive notice of such Casualty Loss from Buyer prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to receive an adjustment to the Purchase Price in respect of any such Casualty Loss pursuant to this Section 1.6(c), apart from any adjustment to the Purchase Price for any portion of such Casualty Loss that was identified by Seller prior to the Closing pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.6(c)(i), and Buyer shall be deemed to accept the Timberlands subject to such Casualty Loss; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.6(c) is intended to override the condition to Closing contained in Section 6.2(g) or the termination right set forth in Section 8.1(e).

ii.Adjustment for Casualty Loss with Respect to Timberlands. Subject to Section 1.7, the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the aggregate fair market value, calculated as provided in clause (iii) below, of damaged or lost Timber resulting from Casualty Losses identified in accordance with Section 1.6(c)(i) and relating to the Timberlands plus (ii) the estimated cost associated with putting the affected Timberlands back into production (for example, increased site preparation costs) and the damage to any property improvements (for example, buildings, roads and bridges) (collectively, “Casualty Damages”); provided that if the total Casualty Damages with respect to any single Casualty Loss are less than $25,000 (“Small Casualty Losses”) then no adjustment to the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price shall be made to reflect such Casualty Loss. If Buyer objects to any calculation of the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber or Casualty Damages resulting from a Casualty Loss made by Seller prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) or if Seller objects to any calculation of the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber and Casualty Damages resulting from a Casualty Loss made by Buyer post-Closing pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i), Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to determine by mutual agreement the calculation of the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber or Casualty Damages in accordance with Section 1.6(c)(iii). If Seller and Buyer agree on the amount of such value, then such value will become final and binding on the Parties. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on the amount of such value within fifteen (15) days of Buyer's delivery of a notice of objection to Seller's pre-Closing calculation or Seller's delivery of a notice of objection to Buyer's post-Closing calculation, Seller and Buyer will refer the matter to the Forestry Consultant, and each will, at a mutually agreed time within three (3) days after such referral, simultaneously submit to the Forestry Consultant (and each other) their respective calculations of the fair market value of such damaged or lost Timber and any related Casualty Damages. Within fifteen (15) days of such submissions, the Forestry Consultant shall determine the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber and any related Casualty Damages in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) and shall select one of the two submissions of the Parties (and shall not select any other amount) as being most representative of the fair market value of such damaged or lost Timber and any related Casualty Damages, excluding Casualty Damages resulting from Small Casualty Losses, and the submission so selected shall

be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party.

iii.Determination of FMV of Timber Related to a Casualty Loss. For the purpose of determining the fair market value of the damaged or lost Timber resulting from a Casualty Loss, the fair market value for damaged or lost Timber shall be deemed to equal the value of the Timber, net of the salvage value of such Timber to Buyer after deducting the cost of harvesting and delivering such Timber.

iv.Adjustment for Casualty Loss for Other Owned Real Property. If any of the Nursery, Orchard or Waynesboro Office is damaged by any Casualty Loss prior to Closing, (i) in the event of any Casualty Loss relating to any building, Seller will assign to Buyer the proceeds of any related insurance and will pay Buyer an amount equal to the deductible under the applicable policy and (ii) with respect to any Casualty Loss relating to seedlings or Timber located on any of such Owned Real Property, Seller will pay Buyer an amount equal to the fair market value of such seedlings or Timber; provided, however, Seller will not be required to make any out-of-pocket payments with respect to any individual Casualty Loss if the amount payable with respect to such Casualty Loss is less than $25,000 (“Small Building Casualty Losses”). Any such payments or assignment of proceeds will be made at Closing, unless Buyer and Seller agree to address this as a post-Closing matter. If prior to Closing Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the amount to be paid by Seller with respect to any such Casualty Loss and they do not agree to address this as a post-Closing matter, then they will refer such matter to the Forestry Consultant using the same procedures and time periods set forth in Section 1.6(c)(ii) above.

v.The Parties acknowledge that completion of this process for any Casualty Losses for which Seller has provided a notice prior to Closing under Section 1.6(c)(i) and any Casualty Loss of the type described in Section 1.6(c)(iv) is a condition to the Parties' obligations to complete the Closing, and accordingly they agree to proceed expeditiously with respect to these matters.

Section 1.7 Pre-Closing Issues Basket.

(a)Buyer has agreed that Seller will not be responsible for certain costs associated with certain issues arising prior to the Closing based on (i) Title Failures, (ii) Title Objections, (iii) Disclosed Environmental Issues, (iv) Casualty Losses for which Seller provided notice to Buyer prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i) above, (v) Casualty Losses of the type referred to in Section 1.6(c)(iv) and (vi) certain matters first disclosed by Seller as an update to Seller's Disclosure Letter pursuant to Section 5.12 (“New Disclosure Issues”) as described in paragraph (c) below (collectively, “Pre-Closing Issues”) but only to the extent the Determined Value of the Pre-Closing Issues pursuant to this Agreement and the “Determined Value” of the corresponding “Pre-Closing Issues” in the Oklahoma Purchase Agreement, in each case excluding Small Matters but together with the amounts referred to in paragraph (f) below, in the aggregate are less than $3,000,000 (the “New Issues Basket Amount”).

(b)As used in this Agreement, “Determined Value” means:

i.in the case of Title Failures (other than Small Title Failures), the amount determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(v);

ii.in the case of Title Objections (other than Small Title Objections and Monetary Liens that Seller has agreed or is required to remove), the amount determined based on the

procedures set forth in Section 1.6(b)(v);

iii.in the case of Applicable RECs (other than Small Applicable RECs), the Estimated REC Costs determined pursuant to Section 5.8;

iv.in the case of Casualty Losses (other than Small Casualty Losses and Small Building Casualty Losses), the amount determined as provided in Section 1.6(c); and

v.in the case of certain New Disclosure Issues (other than Small Disclosure Issues), based on the procedures set forth in paragraph (c) below.

(c)In the event of any New Disclosure Issues other than litigation or third party claims and any matter addressed in clauses (i) - (iv) of paragraph (b) above, the Determined Value will be determined as follows: within 10 days after receipt of an update of Seller's Disclosure Letter pursuant to Section 5.12, Buyer can object to any New Disclosure Issue (other than those addressed in paragraph (d) below and any matter addressed in clauses (i) - (iv) of paragraph (b) above) by providing written notice to Seller together with Buyer's estimate of the total cost (including diminution in value of the Property) that Buyer will incur if it assumes responsibility (other than for any litigation or third party claims) for such New Disclosure Issue (the “New Disclosure Issue Impact”). Buyer and Seller will meet promptly thereafter to discuss such New Disclosure Issue, and if they can't agree on the New Disclosure Issue Impact within five (5) Business Days after Buyer's notice, then they shall refer such New Disclosure Issue to an expert selected by them, or if they are unable to agree on an expert, to the Forestry Consultant. Seller and Buyer will, at a mutually agreed time within five (5) Business Days after such referral, simultaneously submit to the expert or such Forestry Consultant (and each other) their respective calculations of the New Disclosure Issue Impact. Within fifteen (15) days of such submissions, the expert or such Forestry Consultant shall determine the New Disclosure Issue Impact in accordance with this Section 1.7(c) and shall select one of the two submissions of the Parties (and shall not select any other amount) as being most representative of the New Disclosure Issue Impact and the submission so selected shall be final and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the expert or such Forestry Consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party. If the New Disclosure Issue Impact for any matter subject to this paragraph (c), determined as provided above, is greater than $25,000, the New Disclosure Issue Impact for such matter will be the Determined Value for purposes of paragraph (a) above and Buyer will assume responsibility for such New Disclosure Issue (other than with respect to any third party claim or litigation arising out of such New Disclosure Issue (other than any claim or litigation caused by Buyer's failure to remedy any issue if the New Disclosure Impact as finally determined included a budget to remedy such issue)) with any Contract disclosed as part of such New Disclosure Issue to be assumed as an Assumed Contract as provided in Article I. Any New Disclosure Issue subject to this paragraph (c) for which the New Disclosure Impact is less than $25,000 is referred to herein as a “Small Disclosure Issue.”

(d)In the event of any pending, threatened or potential third party claim or litigation disclosed in an update to the Seller's Disclosure Letter or otherwise relating to a New Disclosure Issue, (i) no amount will be applied against the New Issues Basket Amount with respect to such New Disclosure Issue, (ii) the Buyer will assume no responsibility with respect to such third party claim or litigation arising out of or otherwise relating to such New Disclosure Issue (other than any claim or litigation caused by Buyer's failure to remedy any issue if such New Disclosure Issue is subject to paragraph (c) above and the New Disclosure Impact as finally determined included a budget to remedy such issue) and (iii) any such third party claim or litigation arising out of or otherwise relating to such New Disclosure Issue (other than any claim or litigation caused by Buyer's failure to remedy any issue if such New Disclosure Issue is subject to paragraph (c) above and the New Disclosure Impact as finally determined included a budget to remedy such issue) will be subject to the Seller's indemnity under Section 7.2(a)(v).

(e)At least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall meet to

discuss the Pre-Closing Issues known to date. They will attempt in good faith to agree on the Determined Value with respect to the Pre-Closing Issues. If within 3 Business Days they are unable to agree, they will resolve the list of unresolved Pre-Closing Issues (as it may be updated by Seller pursuant to the applicable provisions set forth in Section 5.12) prior to Closing pursuant to the procedures referred to in paragraph (b) and paragraph (c) above. Any Pre-Closing Issues arising after the meeting referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph will be handled pursuant to the same procedures described above, as expeditiously as practicable.

(f)Seller and Buyer have already agreed that the Determined Value with respect to the items set forth on Section 1.7(a) of Seller's Disclosure Letter as of the date of this Agreement is $340,000 and the Determined Value with respect to certain items set forth on Section 1.7(b) of Seller's Disclosure Letter as of the date of this Agreement relating to the Oklahoma Purchase Agreement is $160,000, and accordingly, only $2,500,000 remains in the New Issues Basket Amount, in the aggregate, for Pre-Closing Issues under this Agreement and the Oklahoma Purchase Agreement.

Section 1.8 Apportionments.

(a)Except as provided in Section 2.3, the following shall be apportioned between Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Periods (on a per diem basis): (i) rents due from Seller under Personal Property Leases and the Timber Lease; (ii) Taxes (other than Income Taxes) and assessments arising or resulting from or in connection with the ownership of any of the Property, including without limitation all property Taxes; (iii) revenue from the Real Property Leases, including agricultural, grazing, hunting and other recreational lease revenue; (iv) payments, applying to the period beginning at the Effective Time, made by Seller in respect of any Personal Property Lease or Assumed Contract; and (v) utilities provided to the Combined Real Property (if any) (collectively, “Apportionments”). Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall determine the Apportionments, and payment shall be made in cash by Buyer to Seller (if the Apportionments result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the Apportionments result in a net credit to Buyer). If the actual amount of Apportionment item is not known at such time, the determination of such Apportionment shall be completed (and any associated payments made) when actual figures are available. Any payments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Property to the extent permitted by law, and be made no later than three (3) Business Days following the determination of the amount of the applicable Apportionments. Seller and Buyer agree to furnish each other with such documents and other records as may be reasonably requested in order to confirm all Apportionment calculations made pursuant to this Section 1.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be responsible for any additional or supplemental Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Periods) that may result from a reassessment of the Combined Real Property (other than due to a failure of Seller to maintain the current use valuation of any of the Combined Real Property that has occurred or occurs on or after the establishment of a current use valuation and prior to the Closing), and, to the extent caused by Buyer's removing the Property from, or failure of Buyer to timely apply for maintenance of, the Property's present classification or changes subsequent to the Closing Date in use, (i) any potential roll-back or greenbelt type Taxes related to any agricultural, forest or open space exemption that is subject to recapture pursuant to applicable Law and (ii) any recapture, reassessment, roll-back Taxes or changes in Tax assessments.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall assume all additional liabilities (including, without limitation, any Taxes) arising in connection with (or resulting from) the transactions and structure contemplated by Section 2.4, and in no event will such liabilities be apportioned to Seller.

(c)The Parties will meet at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing and agree on a preliminary calculation of the Apportionments. Each Party agrees to act reasonably in discussing any proposed adjustment, but if they fail to agree on a preliminary adjustment they will proceed to the Closing,

subject to a complete determination post-Closing of the Apportionments pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 1.8. The Cash Portion of the Purchase Price paid at Closing will reflect such preliminary calculation of the Apportionments.

(d)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, there shall not be any proration of Taxes and assessments. As between Buyer and Seller, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) Buyer agrees that Buyer shall be solely responsible for all Taxes and assessments due and payable in respect of the Property for Post-Closing Periods (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Income Taxes of Seller or its Affiliates), and Buyer shall reimburse Seller to the extent any such Taxes and assessments were prepaid by Seller, any of Seller's Affiliates, or on Seller's behalf and (ii) Seller agrees that Seller shall be solely responsible for all such property Taxes and other non-Income Taxes and assessments due and payable in respect of the Property for Pre-Closing Periods, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer to the extent any such Taxes and assessments are paid by Buyer.

(e)If Seller and Buyer cannot agree as to Apportionments, the dispute will be resolved pursuant to Article X.

ARTICLE II

(a)Designation of Buyer Subsidiaries. At least seven (7) days prior to the Closing Buyer may by written notice designate one or more subsidiaries (“Buyer Subsidiaries”) to acquire all or a portion of the Property and assume all or some of the Assumed Liabilities, but only to the extent that MetLife consents to transfers using Buyer Subsidiaries, and such designation does not create any additional liability for Seller (with MetLife or otherwise) or is reasonably likely to result in any significant delay of the Closing. Any such designation and the transfer of Property and Assumed Liabilities will not relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement and such Buyer Subsidiaries shall be jointly and severally liable with Buyer for all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and Buyer and all Buyer Subsidiaries shall be jointly and severally liable under the Ancillary Agreements.

Seller shall not have to incur any liability or expense in connection with Buyer's attempt to structure an exchange transaction, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any such liability and expense.

(c)Buyer's ability to effect an exchange as contemplated in this Section 2.4 is subject to receiving any required consents under the Mortgage Financing Documents (as amended as contemplated by this Agreement).

(d)Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) above, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with the foregoing.

Section 4.2 Qualification. Buyer is, or prior to the Closing will be, qualified or registered as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which the location of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or registered would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations or on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party.

No later than the Closing, Seller shall provide, or cause Xxxxxx or its other representatives to provide, to Buyer (except for those items that are stored at locations included in the Property) copies of all data related to the description, operation and management of the Property and which is in the possession or control of Seller, its Affiliates, Xxxxxx or Seller's other representatives.

In addition to the foregoing, Buyer agrees to provide such

information as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Person whose consent or approval is sought hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the consent of MetLife under the First Mortgage Loan and Buyer further agrees, at Buyer's cost and expense, to execute and deliver to MetLife such instruments and documents as are required by the Mortgage Financing Documents or otherwise reasonably required by MetLife and customary to be delivered by an assignee in connection with a mortgage loan assumption, including legal opinions, and Seller agrees, at Seller's cost and expense, to execute and deliver to MetLife such instruments and documents as are required by the Mortgage Financing Documents or otherwise reasonably required by MetLife and customary to be delivered by an assignor in connection with a mortgage loan assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate or be construed to obligate any Party to make any payment to any Person in order to obtain the consent or approval of such Person or to transfer any Assumed Contract, Real Property Lease, Personal Property Lease, License, Timber Lease or Intangible Property in violation of its terms. With respect to any agreement for which any required consent or approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, each of Seller and Buyer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval after the Closing until either such consent or approval has been obtained or Seller determines in good faith that such consent cannot reasonably be obtained. In addition, to the extent that any Assumed Contract, Real Property Lease, Personal Property Lease, License, Timber Lease or Intangible Property may not be assigned without the consent or approval of any Person, and such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with the same benefits (and Buyer shall be responsible for all corresponding obligations) arising under such Assumed Contract, Real Property Lease, Personal Property Lease, License, Timber Lease or Intangible Property, including performance by Seller (or Buyer if applicable) as agent, if legally permissible and commercially feasible; provided, however, that Buyer (or Seller, if applicable) shall provide Seller (or Buyer, if applicable) with such access to the premises, books and records and personnel as is reasonably necessary to enable Seller (or Buyer, if applicable) to perform its obligations under such Assumed Contracts, Real Property Leases, Personal Property Leases, Licenses, Timber Lease or Intangible Property and Buyer shall pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefits to the extent Buyer would have been responsible therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained.

Section 5.8 Environmental Matters.

(a)Seller has provided a copy of each of the environmental site assessments identified in Section 5.8(a) of Seller's Disclosure Letter to Buyer (individually, a “Phase I Report” and collectively, the “Phase I Reports”) upon the following terms and conditions: (i) the Phase I Reports are provided for informational purposes only, without any representation or warranty by or on behalf of Seller as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained therein; (ii) the Phase I Reports are subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement; and (iii) no information contained in the Phase I Reports shall be deemed to obligate Seller to take any action, including action to remediate any condition described in the Phase I Reports. Buyer acknowledges receipt of the Phase I Reports and accepts delivery of the Phase I Reports upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b)Environmental Objections.

i.Environmental Objection Procedure. Buyer shall have until the end of the thirtieth (30) day after the date of this Agreement (the “Environmental Review Period”) to cause environmental consultants to prepare one or more Phase I reports relating to the Property (“New Phase I Reports”) and to deliver to Seller written notice of the existence of an Applicable REC on any portion of the Combined Real Property. Promptly after becoming available and in any event prior to the Closing, Buyer will deliver, without representation, warranty or recourse of any nature, copies of the final New Phase I Reports to Seller. To the extent that

Buyer does not provide the foregoing notice during the Environmental Review Period or, with respect to any Applicable REC first disclosed in any update to Seller's Disclosure Letter pursuant to Section 5.8, within ten (10) days after receipt of such update, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the right to provide such notice to Seller and any right to either apply the Determined Value for such Applicable REC against the New Issues Basket Amount pursuant to Section 1.7 or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) based on any Determined Value for Applicable RECs. If Buyer gives notice to Seller of any Applicable RECs, at the request of either Seller or Buyer, the environmental consultant that prepared the New Phase I Report in which the Applicable REC is disclosed shall prepare an estimate of the remediation costs. For purposes of this estimate, the remediation costs shall be based on a Remediation, but will not include any costs associated with pending or threatened claims by third parties (other than claims by Governmental Authorities for a Remediation) described in the New Phase I Reports or any relevant update to Seller's Disclosure Letter pursuant to Section 5.8 related to such Applicable REC (“Pending Private REC Claims”). Upon receipt of such estimate, Buyer and Seller shall discuss this estimate and if Seller and Buyer agree on the amount of such costs, then such estimated costs (the “Estimated REC Costs”) will become final and binding on the Parties. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on the amount of such costs within five (5) Business Days of the environmental consultant's delivery of his calculation of the Estimated REC Costs, Seller and Buyer will refer the matter to a second environmental consultant, mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller and each Party will, at a mutually agreed time within five (5) Business Days after referral of the matter to the second environmental consultant, simultaneously submit to the second environmental consultant and each other their respective calculations of the disputed portions of the estimated costs, and any necessary supporting documentation. Within ten (10) days of such submissions, the environmental consultant will select one of the two submissions (and shall not select any other amount) as being most representative of the disputed portion of the estimated costs and the submission so selected shall be final and binding on the Parties and such environmental consultant's calculation of the Estimated REC Costs shall be the final Estimated REC Costs for the purposes of Sections 1.7, 6.2(g), 6.3(f), 8.1(e) and 8.1(f). The costs and expenses of the environmental consultant in connection with the dispute resolution procedure set forth herein shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party. If the Estimated REC Costs for any particular Applicable REC are less than $25,000, then that Applicable REC will constitute a “Small Applicable REC” for purposes of this Agreement.

ii.Remedy for Environmental Objection. With respect to any Applicable REC, unless the Parties otherwise agree (for example, with an adjustment to the Purchase Price), Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such Applicable REC shall be the termination rights under Section 8.1(e) and the rights under Section 7.2(a)(i)(v) in respect of any Pending Private REC Claim.

Section 5.9 First Mortgage Loan.

(a)Promptly after the date hereof, Seller will contact MetLife to seek consent for the assumption of the First Mortgage Loan by Buyer or, if Buyer chooses to form one or more Buyer Subsidiaries, by the Buyer Subsidiaries and will submit a written request for a consent to assignment as provided in Section 3.9.7 of the Loan Agreement. Buyer will have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on this consent request prior to submission to MetLife. Once Seller has received a response from MetLife, Seller and Buyer will jointly proceed to obtain such consent strictly in accordance with the requirements of the terms of the Mortgage Financing Documents and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the release of Seller under the Mortgage Financing Documents on the basis set forth in Section 3.9.7(i) of the

Loan Agreement as well as the release at Closing of any escrows, reserves or other collateral of Seller not comprising the Property. Buyer shall make and submit such applications to MetLife for the assumption of the First Mortgage Loan by Buyer or the Buyer Subsidiaries, as applicable, as MetLife may reasonably require pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

Each of Seller and Buyer will work expeditiously and in good faith to obtain such consent and any such modifications to the First Mortgage Loan required by MetLife, or desired by Buyer solely to the extent modifications are necessary to allow MetLife to consent to the assumption and to reflect that one or more Buyer Subsidiaries or Buyer, as applicable, not Seller, will be the borrower under the First Mortgage Loan or required by Seller to evidence the release of Seller on the basis set forth in Section 3.9.7(i) of the Loan Agreement and of any collateral for the First Mortgage Loan not comprising the Property (including any receivables in respect of Timber to which Seller is entitled hereunder). Any such modifications or changes will be subject to Seller's approval only to the extent the modifications or changes would impose legally binding obligations on Seller. Buyer will not be obligated to deliver any documents or consent to any changes to the Mortgage Financing Documents to the extent the delivery of such documents or such changes would increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of the “Borrower” under the Mortgage Financing Documents.

(b)In addition to implementing the transfer of the First Mortgage Loan to the Buyer Subsidiaries or Buyer, as applicable, as described above, Seller agrees that Buyer will have a period of forty-five (45) days during which it may seek other modifications to the Mortgage Financing Documents (“Additional Buyer Changes”). This 45-day period (the “MetLife Negotiation Period”) will commence when Seller delivers written notice to Buyer informing Buyer that it is free to contact MetLife. Seller will provide reasonable cooperation in setting up conference calls or requesting meetings at which representatives of MetLife and Buyer can discuss any such changes. Seller will be entitled to attend any such conference calls or meetings to monitor the discussions between MetLife and Buyer. Seller will also cooperate in signing any requested documentation in connection with implementing the Additional Buyer Changes if such documents do not create additional liability for Seller or adversely affect the releases referenced in Section 5.9(a). Buyer acknowledges that obtaining the Additional Buyer Changes is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement.

(c)Prior to the Closing Seller will not discuss with MetLife the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the proposed modifications to the Mortgage Financing Documents without a representative of Buyer being present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall retain the ability to contact and deal with MetLife with respect to the administration of the First Mortgage Loan and other matters related to the First Mortgage Loan unrelated to the consent to the assumption and Additional Buyer Changes without Buyer's consent, approval or participation.

(d)Prior to the Closing Seller will not amend or waive any provisions of the Mortgage Financing Documents without Buyer's prior written consent, to the extent such amendment or waiver would alter any of the terms of the Mortgage Financing Documents or impose legally binding obligations on Buyer.

(e)At Closing (and in addition to the execution and delivery of all instruments and documents necessary to consummate the assumption of the First Mortgage Loan as described in paragraph (a) above), Buyer shall make or cause the Buyer Subsidiaries to make such replacement deposits into reserve and escrow accounts (not to exceed the amount of Seller's reserves being replaced thereby) as are required by MetLife under the Mortgage Financing Documents to replace deposits and reserves made by Seller prior to Closing. Such deposits and collateral shall be made by Buyer without reduction or adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f)Although obtaining the release of Seller from its obligations under the Mortgage Financing Documents is not a condition to either Party's obligations to consummate the Closing under this Agreement, as described in paragraph (a) above Buyer and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts

to obtain such release. In the event this release is not obtained, Buyer acknowledges that Seller is retaining, and not transferring to Buyer, any claim it may have against MetLife for failure to deliver such release and Seller shall not be required to represent or warrant that it does not have such claims or release such claims as part of the loan assumption process.

Section 5.10 Title Insurance Matters.

(a)Title Commitments and Policies. Seller has provided to Buyer title commitments from the Title Company for the issuance of one or more Title Policies on the Owned Real Property and the leasehold interest under the Timber Lease (individually, a “Title Commitment” and collectively, the “Title Commitments”). Buyer acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has been provided with all of the Title Commitments (without implying that such Title Commitments satisfy the requirements for Title Policies as set forth on Schedule A), but not Completed Title Commitments. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (or cause the Title Company to obtain) a legible copy of each vesting deed and recorded documentary exception and appurtenance referred to in the Title Commitments and to cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to obtain the same. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall satisfy all of the requirements set forth in Schedule B - Section 1 and I of the Title Commitments that are specifically applicable to Seller or that Seller has otherwise agreed to pay or perform in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At or prior to Closing, Buyer shall satisfy all of the requirements set forth in Schedule B - Section 1 and I of the Title Commitments as of the date hereof that are specifically applicable to Buyer or that Buyer has otherwise agreed to pay or perform in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, any requirements set forth in Schedule B - Section 1 and I of the Title Commitments that refer to Rayonier Operating Company LLC shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Buyer Subsidiary.

(b)No Surveys. As soon as practicable after the date hereof but in no event later than September 19, 2011, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of any existing surveys of the Combined Real Property or portions thereof in Seller's possession or control. Seller shall not be obligated to perform any new survey of all or any part of the Combined Real Property to Buyer. Buyer agrees that the obtaining of any survey of the Combined Real Property or any portion thereof shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and that any new survey obtained by Buyer shall be at its sole cost and expense.

(c)Title Expenses. As provided in Section 2.3, Seller shall be responsible for the costs associated with (i) the title examinations and the issuance of the Title Commitments and the premiums payable in connection with the issuance of the Title Policies (including standard coverage premiums) and (ii) the issuance of any endorsements to MetLife's existing loan title insurance policies or the issuance of any new loan title insurance policies requested by MetLife (except that, in the case of (i) above, Seller shall be responsible for one-half of any premium costs in excess of the standard coverage premiums for the Title Policies (including costs, if any, allocable to any endorsements or extended coverage requested by Buyer), provided that Seller's liability for its share of such excess premium costs with respect to (y) the Title Policies under this Agreement and (z) the Title Policies (as defined in the Oklahoma Purchase Agreement) shall not exceed $55,000 in the aggregate, and Buyer shall be responsible for any portion of such excess premium costs that is not Seller's responsibility).

(d)Access. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no additional cost or liability to Seller) to cause the Title Company to affirmatively insure in the Title Policies access to those portions of the Combined Real Property which are listed in Section 1.4(l) of Seller's Disclosure letter as to which (i) permission to access has been granted verbally or in writing or (ii) Seller has otherwise historically enjoyed access, in each case.

Section 5.11 Xxxxxx. Seller acknowledges that Buyer does not intend to assume any Contract

relating to the retention of Xxxxxx as property manager or in any other capacity with respect to the Combined Real Property, and Seller will be responsible for terminating Xxxxxx' engagement with respect to the Combined Real Property and any related expenses and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Property does not include personal property of Xxxxxx or intellectual property or proprietary data owned or licensed by Xxxxxx and used in connection with the operation and management of the Property in connection with such engagement. At Buyer's request delivered at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller will authorize Xxxxxx to make itself available for up to sixty (60) days after the Closing to assist Buyer in transition activities, all on a time and materials basis at Buyer's expense.

Section 5.12 Update of Schedules.

(a)Seller will be permitted to deliver updates to Seller's Disclosure Letter to provide any additional information required to update or correct the information contained therein in response to the representations and warranties in Article III. Seller will deliver the first update to Seller's Disclosure Letter no later than September 30, 2011. As set forth in Section 1.7, Seller and Buyer will meet to discuss the Determined Value with respect to certain new matters set forth in Seller's Disclosure Letter.

(b)Seller's Disclosure Letter will be deemed to have been updated for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) and Seller's indemnification obligations in Section 7.1(a)(i) to reflect any updated disclosure delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) above related to any matter set forth in Seller's Disclosure Letter. In addition, Sections 3.14(a), (b), (d) and (e) of Seller's Disclosure Letter will be deemed to have been updated for all purposes under this Agreement to include disclosure of all the specific matters (but not disclosures about environmental risks generally) set forth in either the Phase I Reports or the New Phase I Reports.

Section 5.13 Timber Lease. If Seller receives any notice from the lessor under the Timber Lease that triggers any right of first offer of Seller thereunder, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of such notice. Within fifteen (15) days of Buyer's receipt of such notice, Buyer shall direct Seller whether or not to exercise such offer right, and Seller shall comply with Buyer's direction. If Buyer directs Seller to exercise such offer right, Buyer shall reimburse Seller at Closing for the amount of any purchase price and closing costs paid by Seller to acquire the real property offered by the Timber Lease lessor and such real property shall become subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon Seller's acquisition thereof. If, as a result of any Casualty Loss, Condemnation, force majeure event, drilling for Minerals or other circumstance set forth in the Timber Lease, Seller has the option under the Timber Lease to release all or a portion of the affected Timberlands from the Timber Lease, then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the same. Within fifteen (15) days of Buyer's receipt of such notice, Buyer shall direct Seller whether or not to exercise such option, and Seller shall comply with Buyer's direction.

If any matter could be asserted as an indemnification claim under one or more of the clauses set forth above in this paragraph (a), the Seller Indemnitees shall be free to pick and choose the clauses under which they assert such claim, and may assert such claim under multiple clauses, but will not be entitled to collect multiple recoveries for the same underlying matter.

Any party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other party hereto obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any Loss or Losses, claim or breach, including any claim by a third party, that might give rise to indemnification hereunder (with such notification referred to as a “Claim Certificate”) and shall thereafter be entitled to update the Claim Certificate from time to time, provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified

Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. If the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.

(b)Third-Party Claims. Promptly after the assertion by any third-party (including by any Governmental Authority) of any claim against any Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that, in the judgment of such Indemnified Party, may result in the incurrence of Losses for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the authority to negotiate, compromise and settle such Third-Party Claim, subject to paragraph (c) below. The Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto, but the Indemnified Party shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation.

(c)Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, (i) no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent unless the Third-Party Claim is solely a claim for money damages and as part of such settlement the Indemnified Party is released in writing from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and the terms of such settlement do not impose any obligations or restrictions on the Indemnified Party, and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent unless as part of such settlement the Indemnifying Party is released in writing from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim, other than the related claim for indemnification under this Article VII.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 7.4(b) and (c) shall not apply to claims related to Taxes, which shall not be considered “Third-Party Claims” and which shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.4(a) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.16.

Section 7.5 Method and Manner of Paying Claims; Set-Off. Subject to the Indemnifying Party's right pursuant to Section 7.4 to defend, negotiate, compromise and settle a Third-Party Claim, the amount of any Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party forthwith on demand. Any amounts owed by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) may be set off in satisfaction of amounts owed by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party or one of its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) and vice versa.

Section 7.6 Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Initial Purchase Price and the Parties shall treat them as such for all purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

(b)Definition of Loss. “Loss” means any loss, cost, damage, expense, payment, liability or obligation incurred or suffered with respect to the act, omission, fact or circumstance with respect to which such term is used, including: (i) related attorneys', accountants' and other professional advisors' fees and expenses, including those as to investigation, prosecution or defense of any claim or threatened claim including any attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with one or more appellate or bankruptcy proceedings arising out of any such claim; and (ii) amounts paid in settlement of a dispute with a Person not a Party that if resolved in favor of such Person would constitute a matter to which a Party is indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, even though such settlement does not acknowledge that the underlying facts or circumstances constitute a breach of a representation and warranty or other indemnified matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Loss” does not include any punitive damages; provided, however, that in the case of a Third Party Claim, “Loss” includes the total amount of any judgment and any other award payable to a Person other than a Party, a successor or assign of a Party, or a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to the Third Party Claim, irrespective of the nature or categorization of damages.

(c)No Prejudice. Except as provided in Section 5.12(b) with respect to proposed or deemed updates to Seller's Disclosure Letter, that, pursuant to Section 5.12(b) become effective for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) and Seller's indemnification obligations in Section 7.2(a)(i), the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller and Buyer, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted by Buyer or Seller or any agent of Buyer or Seller with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Buyer or Seller or any agent of Buyer or Seller at any time, whether before or after the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, and no Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, shall be required to show that it relied on any (and each Buyer Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, shall be deemed to have relied on each) such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, in order to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII.

(d)Exclusive Remedy. Each of the Parties agrees that, except for the purchase price adjustment provisions in Section 1.6 and except as provided in Section 11.13 and Section 11.14, if the Closing occurs the indemnification provided in this Article VII and Section 11.16 is the exclusive remedy for a breach by any Party of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and is in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that any other Party may have under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise for monetary relief or equitable relief.

Section 7.7 Buyer's Release of Seller.

(a)Except for any rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and rights under Seller Guaranty, effective upon consummation of the Closing Buyer on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns waives its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller's Affiliates, the partners, trustees, beneficiaries, shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including attorneys' fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with (i) the

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, effective upon consummation of the Closing, Buyer hereby waives the benefit of any Law which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that it has read and knows and understands the contents of the release contained in this Section 7.7 and that it has made this release and executed this Agreement voluntarily after consulting with counsel of its choosing.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, effective upon consummation of the Closing, Seller hereby waives the benefit of any Law which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that it has read and knows and understands the contents of the release contained in this Section 7.8 and that it has made this release and executed this Agreement voluntarily after consulting with counsel of its choosing. Seller understands that it cannot proceed against Buyer with respect to the matters released herein

(c)The release and waivers by Seller contained in this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing and the recordation of the Deeds, and shall not be deemed merged into the Deeds upon its recordation.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(b)by either Seller or Buyer, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2011; provided, however, that if at December 31, 2011 the only remaining condition to Closing under Article VI (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) are (i) Section 6.2(d) and Section 6.3(d) or (ii) the completion of the calculation of the Determined Value for the Pre-Closing Issues as contemplated by Section 6.2(g) or Section 6.3(f), then either Seller or Buyer may extend the outside date for up to thirty (30) days (such date, including any such permitted extension thereof, the “Termination Date”); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, if such Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, which failure primarily contributes to the failure of the Closing to have occurred by such time;

(c)by Seller upon a breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, which breach or violation would result in the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 and, in any such case, such breach or violation shall be incapable of being cured by the Termination Date, or Buyer shall not be using on a continuous basis all commercially reasonable efforts to cure in all material respects such breach or violation commencing within a reasonable time after the giving of written notice thereof by Seller to Buyer of such violation or breach; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to extend the Closing to a date that is up to 30 days after the Termination Date in order to provide Buyer with a full 30 days after written notice thereof by Seller to Buyer to effect a cure of any Buyer breach;

(d)by Buyer upon a breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, which breach or violation would result in the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 and, in any such case, such breach or violation shall be incapable of being cured by the Termination Date, or Seller shall not be using on a continuous basis all commercially reasonable efforts to cure in all material respects such breach or violation commencing within a reasonable time after the giving of written notice thereof by Buyer to Seller of such violation or breach; provided that Seller shall be entitled to extend the Closing to a date that is up to 30 days after the Termination Date in order to provide Seller with a full 30 days after written notice thereof by Buyer to Seller to effect a cure of any Seller breach;

(e)by Buyer if the Determined Value of the Pre-Closing Issues has been finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7 and the condition set forth in Section 6.2(g) will not be met; and

(f)by Seller if the Determined Value of the Pre-Closing Issues has been finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7 and the condition set forth in Section 6.3(f) will not be met.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a)Subject to the following provisions of this Section 8.2, upon any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, the obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto with respect thereto, except for the provisions of Section 2.3, Section 5.3, Section 5.5, Section 5.10(c), this Section 8.2 and Articles X - XII, which shall survive such termination and except that no termination will relieve either Party for any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, except as expressly set forth below.

(b)Nothing in this Section 8.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to preclude Buyer, in the event Seller breaches or violates any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, from electing to pursue specific performance of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.14 in lieu of termination.

(c)If the sale of the Property is not consummated due to Seller's uncured material breach

hereunder then Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit plus payment of an amount equal to all expenses incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with due diligence, the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and taking the steps contemplated by this Agreement to proceed to Closing (“Buyer Costs”) or (b) to enforce specific performance of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.14. Provided that Seller pays the Buyer Costs, Buyer expressly waives its rights to seek any damages (other than Buyer Costs) in the event that Seller materially breaches hereunder and Buyer, having the right to do so, elects to terminate this Agreement. Seller will pay the Buyer Costs within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written summary thereof together with supporting documentation in reasonable detail. Seller and Buyer agree that it is difficult to fix the exact damages that Buyer would suffer as a result of Seller's material breach of this Agreement but that the Buyer Costs represents a reasonable estimate of the damages that Buyer would suffer as a result of Seller's material breach. Receipt of the Buyer Costs as liquidated damages shall be Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy for the Closing not occurring as a result of Seller's material breach of its obligations under this Agreement in the event that Buyer, having the right to do so, elects to terminate this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.2(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(c), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to pay the Buyer Costs in the event that a breach of a representation or warranty under Article III occurs and is disclosed by Seller prior to Closing pursuant to the updating process set forth in Section 1.7.

(d)If the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to an uncured breach of Buyer the Deposit shall be released to Seller. Seller and Buyer agree that it is difficult to fix the exact damages that Seller would suffer as a result of Buyer's breach of this Agreement but that the amount of the Deposit represents a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller would suffer as a result of Buyer's breach. Receipt of the Deposit as liquidated damages shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for the Closing not occurring as a result of Buyer's breach of its obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.2(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e)If the Closing does not occur for any reason other than an uncured breach of this Agreement by Buyer, then the Deposit shall be released promptly to Buyer, and Seller agrees to send any required notice to the Title Company to return the Deposit to Buyer.

ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE X

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.1 Initial Discussions. In the event that after the Closing a Party gives notice of any dispute, claim, question, disagreement or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof, or the Property, other than those disputes, claims, questions, disagreements or controversies for which dispute resolution procedures are set forth in Section 1.6 (a “Dispute”), representatives of the Parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to settle the Dispute. To this effect, such representatives shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to the Parties. If the representatives are unable to resolve any Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of the notice of such Dispute, any Party may, by giving notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to a senior executive officer of each Party or an Affiliate (each, a “Party Executive”) for resolution. The Party Executives will meet with each other, either physically at a mutually convenient location or by telephone or videoconference, to endeavor to resolve the Dispute in view of the Parties' mutual interest in reaching a reasonable business resolution. If the Party Executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after submission to them, the Party Executives shall in good faith discuss the desirability of submitting the Dispute to mediation or binding arbitration before a single mediator or arbitrator who has at least ten (10) years relevant industry experience in the matter that is the subject of the Dispute. If the Party Executives cannot unanimously agree to submit the Dispute to mediation or binding arbitration within sixty (60) days after the Dispute was first submitted to them, or upon the failure of any agreed-upon mediation to resolve the Dispute, the Parties may pursue such rights and remedies as are available under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.2 Evidentiary Status. All settlement offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the settlement or any mediation process by either Seller or Buyer, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding involving the Parties; provided, however, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non discoverable as a result of its disclosure during settlement or mediation efforts.

Section 10.3 Forbearance. During the pendency of the settlement or any mediation process referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Parties agree to forebear from filing or otherwise proceeding with litigation; provided, however, that either Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to prevent the breach of Seller's or Buyer's obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. If any agreement of the Parties to use mediation breaks down and a later litigation is commenced or application for an injunction is made, the Parties will not assert a defense of laches or statute of limitations based upon the time spent in mediation.

Section 10.4 Litigation. After the Closing, either Seller or Buyer may initiate litigation with respect to any Dispute submitted to the Party Executives at any time following 60 days after the initial meeting between the Party Executives session or 90 days after the date of sending the written request for resolution by the Party Executives, whichever occurs first.

Section 10.5 Enforcement. The provisions of this Article X may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and

expenses, including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.

Section 10.6 Pre-Closing. The provisions of this Article X do not apply prior to the Closing.

Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.4 but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from its obligations under this Agreement after the Closing with respect to that portion of this Agreement so assigned. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto),

Seller's Disclosure Letter, Buyer's Disclosure Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.6 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the Parties or their respective successors or permitted assigns. No waiver under this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in a writing duly executed and delivered by each Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

Section 11.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, whether express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties hereto, the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees (with respect to Article VII), any right, remedy or other benefit under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.8 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement (including any phrase, sentence, clause, Section or subsection) is inoperative, invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon any such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect to the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

Section 11.11 Captions. The captions and other headings contained in this Agreement as to the contents of particular articles, sections, paragraphs or other subdivisions contained herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are in no way to be construed as part of this Agreement or as limitations on the scope of the particular articles, sections, paragraphs or other subdivisions to which they refer and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of this Agreement. “Article,” “Section,” “Subsection,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refers to such item of or attached to this Agreement.

Section 11.12 Construction. The Parties agree that “including” and other words or phrases of inclusion, if any, shall not be construed as terms of limitation, so that references to “included” matters shall be regarded as nonexclusive, non-characterizing illustrations and equivalent to the terms “including, but not limited to,” and “including, without limitation.” Each Party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be advised and represented by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and accordingly agrees that if any ambiguity exists with respect to any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall not be construed against any Party solely because such Party or its representatives were the drafters of any such provision.

Section 11.13 Reimbursement of Legal Fees. In the event any legal proceeding should be brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement or for breach of any provision of this Agreement, the non-prevailing Party shall reimburse the prevailing Party for all reasonable costs and expenses of the prevailing Party (including its reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements). For purposes of the foregoing, (i) ”prevailing Party” means (A) in the case of the Party initiating the enforcement of rights or remedies, that it recovered substantially all of its claims, and (B) in the case of the Party defending against such enforcement, that it successfully defended substantially all of the claims made against it, and (ii) if no Party is a “prevailing Party” within the meaning of the foregoing, then no Party will be entitled to recover its costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and disbursements) from any other Party.

Section 11.14 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach by Seller of this Agreement and that irreparable harm would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, the rights of Buyer under this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. If Seller fails to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, being otherwise obligated to do so hereunder, Buyer may undertake an action, suit or proceeding for the specific enforcement of this Agreement unless Buyer's failure

to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement primarily contributes to the failure of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Seller shall have the right prior to the Closing to seek specific performance by Buyer for any breach of the Confidentiality Agreement but shall not otherwise have a right to seek specific performance of this Agreement.

Section 11.15 Seller's Disclosure Letter. Any references to a Section of the Seller's Disclosure Letter contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to also refer to any subsections of such Section. Buyer acknowledges the following with respect to disclosures contained in Seller's Disclosure Letter:

(a)The information set forth on one section or subsection of Seller's Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to apply and qualify the section and subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent that such information is relevant to such other section or subsection.

(b)The inclusion of any information in Seller's Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms of this Agreement to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or is outside the ordinary course of business (in each case, other than as specifically noted in Seller's Disclosure Letter). The information contained in Seller's Disclosure Letter is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of applicable law or breach of contract or agreement to which Seller is subject).

(c)Seller's Disclosure Letter may include brief descriptions or summaries of certain agreements, instruments and other documents, which descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the documents described.

Section 11.16 Tax Matters.

(a)Tax Proceedings. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other to the extent reasonably required after the Closing Date in connection with any Tax Proceedings relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Period to the extent such Taxes or Tax Returns relate to the Property, or which could otherwise result in an indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Promptly (but no more than twenty (20) days) after Buyer receives notice of any Tax Proceeding that could result in an indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing. Seller shall have the right to conduct and control the defense of the Tax Proceeding at their expense, whether the Tax Proceeding began before or after the Closing, and Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all documents in Buyer's possession and such assistance as Seller may reasonably request to allow Seller to effectively conduct and control such defense; provided, that Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Tax Proceeding at Buyer's expense (and provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall in no event have the right to participate in any Tax Proceedings relating to Income Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates). Seller shall not be responsible for any Taxes to the extent attributable to any action taken by Buyer with respect to any Tax Proceeding without Seller's written consent. This Section 11.16 shall govern the control of Tax Proceedings, rather than the procedures provided in Sections 7.4(b) and 7.4(c).

(b)Refunds and Credits. Any refunds or credits of Taxes (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) of, or with respect to, Seller, any of Seller's Affiliates, or with respect to the Property that are attributable or allocable to any Pre-Closing Period will be payable to Seller. To the extent Buyer receives any refunds or other amounts payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 11.16(b), Buyer shall pay all such amounts to Seller within thirty (30) days of Buyer's receipt of such amounts.

FORM OF GUARANTY

THIS IS A GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) dated as of the [__] day of [______], 2011, by [______________], a [_____________] (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Rayonier Inc., a [__________] corporation (“Buyer”), and by which the Guarantor, for good and valuable consideration (the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), hereby agrees as follows:

1.Description of the Guarantor. The Guarantor is [__________] of Xxxxxx Timberlands, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company (“Seller”). Seller and Buyer have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of September 16, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Seller will sell to Buyer approximately [_____] acres of timberland located in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, the timber thereon and related personal property. The Seller's delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The Guarantor (being [___________] of Seller and, thus, directly benefited by Buyer's entering into, consummating and performing the Purchase Agreement), expressly acknowledges and agrees that it has received full and adequate consideration for its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty. The Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that (i) its execution of this Guaranty is not conditioned on any other Person's executing this Guaranty or any other guaranty and (ii) its decision to execute this Guaranty was not based upon any representations, warranties, facts, materials or statements made or provided by, or on behalf of, Buyer, except those in the Purchase Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or of Seller. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2.Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Buyer and each Buyer Indemnitee the payment and performance in full of each post-closing obligation of any nature of Seller under the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (each, a “Guaranteed Obligation”), including any obligations under the indemnification provisions of Article VII of the Purchase Agreement relating to any pre-closing obligations of the Seller, when and as such Guaranteed Obligation becomes due and payable or is otherwise required to be performed. Guarantor agrees that if Seller fails to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation when and as such Guaranteed Obligation is due and payable or is otherwise required to be performed as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then Guarantor will make such payment of such Guaranteed Obligation by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable Buyer or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, or otherwise perform, by itself or through one of its affiliated entities, such Guaranteed Obligation if such Guaranteed Obligation does not entail the payment of money. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance by the Seller of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of their collectability only, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee first attempt to collect any of the Guaranteed Obligations from Seller or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee now has or may acquire after the date hereof, or upon any other contingency whatsoever. For so long as the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee may require payments or performance by Guarantor hereunder on any number of occasions subject to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be limited as follows: (i) the Guarantor's liability shall be limited to the time limitations on Seller's indemnity obligations set forth in Section 7.1(a) and the limitations on the amount of

Seller's liability set forth in Section 7.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Guarantor's liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty with respect to any particular Guaranteed Obligation shall expire and the Guaranty shall be null and void with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation if a claim has not been made under this Guaranty with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation prior to the earlier of (a) four (4) years from the Closing Date or (b) any earlier time period provided in Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement by which the Buyer or a Buyer Indemnitee must make a claim for indemnification with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation. For the sake of clarity, the Guarantor shall have no further liabilities or obligations under this Guaranty from and after the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any claims for which demand is not made under this Guaranty prior to such 4^th anniversary of the Closing Date. If the Buyer has made a timely demand under this Guaranty with respect to a Guaranteed Obligation, then the Guarantor's obligations with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation shall remain outstanding until such Guaranteed Obligation has been fully paid or performed.

3.Certain Waivers. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of Guaranteed Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, other than demand for payment or performance hereunder, and, subject to Section 4 below, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of Guarantor's assets or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the terms of Section 2 above, Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by, (i) subject to Section 4 below, the failure of Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations (except to the extent that such failure operates as an express and complete bar under the Purchase Agreement or Section 2 above); (ii) any extensions, compromises, consolidations or renewals of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromises, consolidations, amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (iv) the addition, substitution or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) subject to Section 4 below, any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of Guarantor, all of which may be done without notice to Guarantor.

4.Certain Defenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without in any way affecting Guarantor's waiver of suretyship defenses generally pursuant to Section 3, Guarantor shall be entitled to rely on, assert and have the benefit of any defense to the payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation that Seller is entitled to rely on, assert and have the benefit of pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or applicable Law, other than any defense that is personal to Seller such as lack of capacity or authority of Seller or discharge in bankruptcy.

5.Authorization; Binding Effect.

Responsibility for the premiums and other charges associated with the Title Policies shall be allocated between the parties in accordance with Section 5.10(c) of the Agreement.

The Title Policies shall include:

(a) The following endorsements, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer: (i) owner's aggregation/tie-in endorsement in the form attached as Schedule A-1 or equivalent; (ii) multiple tax parcel endorsement (ALTA Form 18.1 or equivalent); (iii) leasehold owner's endorsement in respect of Timber Lease; and (iv) environmental lien endorsement (ALTA Form 8.2-06 or equivalent); provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to require any coverage under the foregoing endorsement set forth in clause (iii) to the extent such coverage is not available in the State of Alabama from the Title Company or another nationally recognized title insurance company (in accordance with commercial standards applicable to the national title insurance industry);

(b) The Title Policies shall include reinsurance and/or co-insurance reasonably acceptable to Buyer issued by and allocated among the Title Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and their affiliated title insurance companies;

(d) The Title Policies shall not take any exception for (or otherwise fail to insure) lack of right of access except for parcels specifically noted on Section 1.4(l) of the Seller's Disclosure Letter as having no legal, historical or verbal access unless such lack of access constitutes a Permitted Exception under the Agreement, including pursuant to Section 1.4(j) or 1.6(b) of the Agreement.

Except as expressly set forth in Items 1 through 9 below in this Schedule A, the Title Policies shall not contain any standard or general exceptions (including, but not limited, to in respect of mechanics' or material liens', gap matters, parties in possession or riparian rights).

1. Taxes for 2011 and subsequent years, which are not yet due and payable.

2. Rights of tenants, as tenants only, under the leases, licenses or agreements listed on a schedule to the applicable Title Policy (which schedule shall only include the specific Real Property Leases affecting the applicable Property being insured under the Title Policy). The Title Company insures against loss or damage resulting from the exercise of any rights of first refusal or options to purchase any portion of the Property in the leases, licenses or agreements.

3. (a) Boundary line disputes, overlaps, encroachments, prescriptive easements and any other similar

matters not of record, which would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the Property; however, this exception does not limit the insurance for (i) the lack of right of access in Covered Risk 4 of the Title Policy, except for the parcels specifically noted as not having a right of access in this Schedule B (provided that Schedule B shall only include the parcels listed on Section 1.4(l) of the Seller's Disclosure Letter as having no legal, historical or verbal access unless such lack of access is treated as a Permitted Exception under Section 1.4(j) or 1.6(b) of the Agreement); and (ii) those risks covered in Item 3(c) below.

(b) Easements and rights of way for existing public and private roads or pathways, railroads, public or private utility lines, pipes and conduits of any type, utility agreements or other real estate servitudes and any other similar matters: (i) that are not recorded in the Public Records (as defined in the Title Policies) and would be disclosed by an accurate survey and inspection of the Land, or (ii) that are recorded in the Public Records and specifically described in Schedule B-Part I to the Title Policy.


i.	the prevention of Buyer's commercial growing, management or harvesting and removal of timber on the Land resulting from the exercise of rights under any such easement, reservation or right-of-way that is recorded in the Public Records;


ii.	any such easement, reservation or right-of-way causing a forfeiture or reversion of title;


iii.	any such easement, reservation or right-of-way containing any right of first refusal or option to purchase any portion of the Property or the right of prior approval of a future purchaser or occupant; or


iv.	a lack of a right to cross any such easement, reservation or right-of-way recorded in the Public Records by Buyer's employees, contractors, agents or vehicles, except this coverage does not apply to easements for railroad purposes.

4. All grants or reservations of minerals, including, but not limited to, coal, lignite, oil, gas, sand, gravel and other minerals, appearing in the Public Records whether listed in Schedule B of the Title Policy or not.

5. No insurance is afforded as to the accuracy of any acreage recitation contained in the legal description of the Property.

6. Riparian rights of others with respect to waterways situated on or adjacent to the Property.

7. All rights of the state where the insured property is located and the United States of America, (if any) in and to any navigable waterways situated on or about the Property, including any claim to land formerly or presently comprising the shores or bottom of navigable waters.

8. The right, if any, of neighboring riparian owners or the public to use any public waters or the rights of the public to use the beaches or shores for recreational purposes.

9. Any claim to land arising from the change of boundaries due to artificial accretion or filled lands.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent the modified general exception language required in the foregoing Items 1, 4, 7 or 9, as applicable, is not available in a particular state from the Title Company or another nationally recognized title insurance company (in accordance with commercial standards applicable to the national title insurance industry), the Title Policies shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements under this Schedule A with respect to the modified general exception language required in Items 1, 4, 7 or 9, as applicable, if the general exception language set forth in the applicable Title Commitment corresponding to such Item is contained in the Title Policy for the applicable state.
