ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS
Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to each Borrower
requesting a Borrowing, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and until
the earlier of the Termination Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender, in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not
16
to exceed such Lender’s Commitment at such
time, minus, in each case, the amount by which the Competitive Loans outstanding at such time shall
be deemed pursuant to Section 2.14 to have utilized such Lender’s Commitment, subject,
however, to the conditions that:
(a) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by
all Lenders and the Swing Line Banks plus the aggregate L/C Exposure of such Lenders at such
time exceed the Total Commitment;
(b) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by
all Lenders to WRECO exceed $400,000,000; and
(c) at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made
by each Lender shall equal the product of (i) the Applicable Percentage of such Lender times
(ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.02.
Each Lender’s Commitment is set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2.01, or in the case of
each assignee that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 9.04 or any subsequent assignments
pursuant to Section 9.04, on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 9.04(c).
Within the foregoing limits, each Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow hereunder,
on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations set forth herein, on a several and not joint basis.
Section 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Revolving Borrowing
consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any
Revolving Loan shall not in and of itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each
Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19. The
Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) comprising any Revolving Borrowing (other than a Swing Line
Borrowing) shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $25,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of
the available Commitments).
(b) Each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate
Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to paragraph (e) hereof and each Competitive
Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans as the applicable
Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.19. Each
Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall
not (i) affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and (ii) entitle such Lender to any amounts pursuant to Sections 2.11 or
2.12 to which amounts such Lender would not be entitled if such Lender had made such Loan itself
through its domestic branch. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the
17
same time;
provided, however, that neither Borrower shall be entitled to request any Revolving
Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than twenty (20) separate Revolving
Loans from any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing,
Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans) having different Interest
Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate
Revolving Loans.
(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative
Agent in
New York,
New York, not later than 12:00 noon (or in the case of Base Rate Loans, 2:00
p.m.),
New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time,
credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the applicable Borrower maintained
with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall not
occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return
the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Lender
or Lenders whose Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.19 in the amount so
accepted, and Revolving Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section
2.14. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time
of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s portion of such Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of
such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such
Revolving Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to
request any Revolving Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Termination Date.
(e) In order to request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall
hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Borrowing Request in the form of
Exhibit A (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon,
New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed borrowing and (b) in the case
of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed
borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the
Revolving Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Revolving Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof;
and (iii) if such Revolving Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
18
Interest Period with
respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified in any such
notice, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest
Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section 2.02(e) and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
(f) If a Fronting Bank shall not have received the payment required to be made by Weyerhaeuser
pursuant to Section 2.20(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Fronting Bank will
promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Applicable Percentage thereof. Not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such
notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the immediately following Business Day), each Lender will make available the amount
of its Applicable Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall
be deemed to constitute a Base Rate Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have
reduced the L/C Exposure) in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent in New York,
New York, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Fronting Bank amounts so
received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable
Fronting Bank any amounts received by it from Weyerhaeuser pursuant to Section 2.20(e) prior to the
time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f), and any such amounts
received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative
Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Fronting Bank, as
their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of such
L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender agrees to pay
interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be
paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank at, for the first such day,
the Federal Funds Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Base Rate.
Section 2.03 Conversion and Continuation of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall, with respect to its
respective Revolving Borrowings, have the right at any time, upon prior irrevocable written notice
to the Administrative Agent given in the manner and at the times specified in Section 2.02(e) with
respect to the Type of Revolving Borrowing into which conversion or continuation is to be made, to
convert any of its Revolving Borrowings into a Revolving Borrowing of a different Type and to
continue any of its Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings into a subsequent Interest Period of any
permissible duration, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the following:
(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of Revolving Loans comprising the converted
or continued Revolving Borrowing;
(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Borrowing shall
be converted or continued, the aggregate principal amount of such
19
Revolving Borrowing
converted and/or continued shall in each case not be less than the minimum amount set forth
in Section 2.02;
(iii) if a Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at any time other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay any amount due
pursuant to Section 2.13;
(iv) if such Revolving Borrowing is to be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing or if a
Eurodollar Borrowing is to be continued, no Interest Period selected shall extend beyond the
Termination Date;
(v) interest accrued to the day immediately preceding each date of conversion or
continuation shall be payable on each Revolving Borrowing (or part thereof) that is
converted or continued concurrently with such conversion or continuation; and
(vi) Competitive Borrowings may not be converted or continued.
(b) Each notice given pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this
Agreement and specify (i) the identity and the amount of the Revolving Borrowing that the
applicable Borrower requests to be converted or continued; (ii) whether such Borrowing (or any part
thereof) is to be converted or continued as a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; (iii)
if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day);
and (iv) if such Borrowing (or any part thereof) is to be converted into or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified
in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of any notice given pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and of each Lender’s portion of any
converted or continued Revolving Borrowing.
(c) If the applicable Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section
2.03 to continue any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall
not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.03 to convert such Eurodollar
Borrowing), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Borrowing. In the
event of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an Event of Default (i) all Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowings of each Borrower shall be converted into Base Rate Borrowings on the last day
of the Interest Period then in effect, and (ii) no Base Rate Borrowing may be converted into a
Borrowing of another Type so long as a Default or Event of Default continues to exist.
Section 2.04 Fees. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and on the date on
which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a facility fee (each, a
“Facility Fee,” and collectively, the “Facility Fees”), calculated as specified
below, on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the preceding
quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or
20
ending with the Termination Date
applicable to such Lender or any date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated).
All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to
accrue on the earlier of the Termination Date applicable to such Lender and the termination of the
Commitment of such Lender as provided herein, provided that, to the extent that any Lender
has any Credit Exposure which remains outstanding after the Termination Date, the Facility Fee due
to such Lender shall continue to accrue on such Credit Exposure and shall be payable upon demand.
The Facility Fee for each Lender shall be calculated as a per annum rate in an amount equal to
the product of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder and the applicable percentage specified in the
table below, to be determined based upon the Ratings received from S&P and Xxxxx’x by Weyerhaeuser:

The Facility Fees shall change effective as of the date on which the applicable rating
agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or Xxxxx’x shall withdraw or
suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or Xxxxx’x, as the case may be,
shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the Facility Fees shall be based
on the lowest rating provided above. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that two
consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above) apply, the higher of those Ratings shall
determine the applicable percentage to calculate the Facility Fee. If the Ratings by S&P and
Xxxxx’x are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by only one
intermediate Level, then such intermediate Level shall determine the applicable percentage to
calculate the Facility Fee. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that the applicable
Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels, then the intermediate Level
representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine the applicable percentage to
calculate the Facility Fee. The Facility Fees shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent,
which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and binding on all parties.
(b) Weyerhaeuser agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the
administration fees (the “Administrative Agent Fees”) at the times and in the amounts
agreed upon in the letter agreement dated as of November 8, 2006, among Weyerhaeuser, WRECO, X.X.
Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and the Administrative Agent.
(c) Weyerhaeuser agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to
each Lender (an “L/C Participation Fee”), for the period from the Closing Date until the
later of the Termination Date and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure outstanding
(or such earlier date as all Letters of Credit shall be canceled or expire and the Total Commitment
shall be terminated), on that portion of the average daily L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of
Credit issued for the account of Weyerhaeuser (excluding the portion
21
thereof attributable to
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Loans from time to time in effect for the Borrower and (ii) to each Fronting Bank for
its own account a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at such rate as is
mutually agreed between the applicable Fronting Bank and Weyerhaeuser on the average daily amount
of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account
of Weyerhaeuser (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure
attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account of Weyerhaeuser, as
well as such Fronting Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. L/C Participation Fees and
Fronting Fees accrued under this paragraph are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
calendar quarter and on the date on which the Total Commitment shall be terminated as provided
herein. All L/C Participation Fees and Fronting Fees payable under this paragraph shall be
computed on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days.
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for prompt distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid,
none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.05 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal balance of (i)
each Revolving Loan shall be payable on the Termination Date, (ii) each Swing Line Loan shall be
payable on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Swing Line Borrowing
Request (which maturity shall not be later than the seventh day after the requested date of such
Borrowing) and the Termination Date, and (iii) each Competitive Loan shall be payable on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Loan and on the Termination Date. Each
Loan shall bear interest from the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set
forth in Section 2.06.
(b) Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to, maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of each Borrower to repay its Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
22
(e) Any Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note,
substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. In such event, the applicable Borrower
shall promptly, and in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after a request therefor, prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note,
to such payee and its registered assigns).
Section 2.06 Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans
comprising (i) each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin,
determined pursuant to paragraph (d) below, and (ii) Eurodollar Competitive Loan, at the Eurodollar
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin
applicable to such Borrowing.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 the Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.
(c) Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be
payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, in case of a Eurodollar Loan
with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day that would have been an
interest payment date for such Loan had successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration been
applicable to such Loan, and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on which this Agreement
is, pursuant to its terms and conditions, terminated. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on
which this Agreement is, pursuant to its terms and conditions, terminated. The applicable
Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case
may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Interest on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to the Borrowing of
which such Loan is a part and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period
of more than three months’ duration (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Competitive Bid
Request), each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period, and any other dates that are
specified in the applicable Competitive Bid Request as interest payment dates with respect to such
Borrowing, and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on which this Agreement is, pursuant to
its terms and conditions, terminated.
(d) As used herein, “Applicable Margin” shall mean the sum of (i) the applicable
percentage per annum specified in the table below, to be determined based upon the Ratings received
by Weyerhaeuser from S&P and Xxxxx’x, and (ii) the Utilization Fee. The
23
applicable percentage
referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined based upon the
Ratings, as follows:

The Applicable Margin shall change effective as of the date on which the applicable
rating agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or Xxxxx’x shall
withdraw or suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or Xxxxx’x, as the
case may be, shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the Applicable
Margin shall be based on the lowest rating provided above. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are
split so that two consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above) apply, the higher of those
Ratings shall determine the Applicable Margin. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that
the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by only one intermediate Level, then such
intermediate Level shall determine the Applicable Margin. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are
split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels,
then the intermediate Level representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine
the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent,
which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and binding on all parties.
(e) As used herein, “Utilization Fee” shall mean (i) with respect to any date on which
the sum of (A) the Aggregate Credit Exposure plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Competitive Loans is equal to or exceeds 50% of the Total Commitment, the applicable percentage
specified in the table below (the “Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage”), to be
determined based upon the Ratings received by Weyerhaeuser from S&P and Xxxxx’x, and (ii) at all
other times, 0.000%. The applicable percentage referred to in clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be determined based upon the Ratings, as follows:

The Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall change effective as of the date on which
the applicable rating agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or
Xxxxx’x shall withdraw or suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or
Xxxxx’x, as the case may be, shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the
Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall be based on the lowest rating provided
24
above. If the
Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that two consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above)
apply, the higher of those Ratings shall determine the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. If
the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are
separated by only one intermediate Level, then such intermediate Level shall determine the
Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. If the Ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are split so that the
applicable Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels, then the
intermediate Level representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine the
Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. The Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall be
calculated by the Administrative Agent, which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and
binding on all parties.
(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing
will bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loans.
Section 2.07 Default Interest. If a Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or any other amount becoming due hereunder (other than any L/C
Disbursement that has been made by a Fronting Bank and not yet due pursuant to the terms of Section
2.20(e)), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, such
Borrower shall on demand from time to time by the Administrative Agent pay interest, to the extent
permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment
(after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable
thereto at maturity or due date plus 2%.
Section 2.08 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two
Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required
to make such Loan) shall have determined in good faith that dollar deposits in the principal
amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London
interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar
Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) of making or maintaining
their Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Eurodollar
Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In the
event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrowers
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request
by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be deemed to
be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing, (ii) any request by the Borrowers for a conversion to, or a
continuation of, a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a
request for, respectively, a continuation as, or a conversion to, a Base Rate Borrowing, and (iii)
any request for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided, that if
the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all Lenders, then requests for
Eurodollar Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
25
Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The unused Commitments of each Lender
shall be automatically terminated on the Termination Date.
(b) Subject to Section 2.10(b), upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written
notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time in whole permanently terminate,
or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided,
however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be
made which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Loans and the aggregate L/C Exposure.
(c) Subject to Section 2.18, each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made
ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrowers jointly
and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date
of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated
or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.
Section 2.10 Prepayment. (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Except as provided in the next
sentence below, each of the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any of its respective Revolving Borrowings, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice
(or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Administrative Agent: (i) before
12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar
Loans and (ii) before 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the
case of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be
in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000. The
Borrowers shall
not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender
thereof.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. On the date of any termination or reduction of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay so much of their respective
Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding
and the aggregate L/C Exposure does not exceed the Total Commitment, after giving effect to such
termination or reduction.
(c) Each notice of prepayment under paragraph (a) above shall specify the prepayment date and
the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and
shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount
stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be
subject to Section 2.13 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this
Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the
date of payment.
Section 2.11 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) It is understood that the cost to
each Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) of
making or maintaining any of the Eurodollar Loans or Letters of Credit may fluctuate as a result of
the applicability of reserve requirements imposed by the
26
Board at the ratios provided for in
Regulation D. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each of such Lenders from time to time, as provided
in paragraph (d) below, such amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender for the
portion of the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower (or issuing Letters
of Credit for the account of Weyerhaeuser) resulting from any such reserve requirements provided
for in Regulation D as in effect on the date thereof, it being understood that the rates of
interest applicable to Eurodollar Loans have been determined on the assumption that no such reserve
requirements exist or will exist and that such rates do not reflect costs imposed on the Lenders in
connection with such reserve requirements. It is agreed that for purposes of this paragraph (a)
the Eurodollar Loans made hereunder shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency Liabilities as
defined in Regulation D and to be subject to the reserve requirements of Regulation D without the
benefit of or credit for proration, exemptions or offsets which might otherwise be available to the
Lenders from time to time under Regulation D.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change
in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not
having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of any payments to any Lender
(including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) of the principal of
or interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender, of any payments related
to the Letters of Credit or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in
respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such
Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by
such Lender, or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Letter
of Credit issued by any Fronting Bank hereunder, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan
(or issuing any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender upon
demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs
actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.
(c) If after the date hereof any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Banks and any Fronting Bank) shall have determined that the general applicability of any law, rule,
regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle
Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or the adoption after the date hereof of any other
generally applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change
in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any
Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the
27
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender
pursuant hereto (or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder) to a level below that which such Lender
or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time
to time, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(d) A certificate of a Lender (including the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks and
any Fronting Bank) setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of such amount or amounts as
shall be necessary to compensate such Lender (or participating banks or other entities pursuant to
Section 9.04) as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, shall be
delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay
each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after
the receipt of the same.
(e) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any
period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to
such period or any other period; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such increased
costs or reductions in accordance with paragraph (d) above and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation thereof; provided further that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11, no Lender shall demand
compensation for any increased costs or reduction referred to above if it shall not be the general
policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under
comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (it being understood that this sentence
shall not in any way limit the discretion of any Lender to waive the right to demand such
compensation in any given case).
Section 2.12 Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, if any
change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority
charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender
(including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) to make or maintain
any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any
Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender may:
(i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder
and any request by either Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a conversion to
or continuation of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall, as to such
28
Lender only, be deemed
a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by it be converted
into Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall be
automatically converted into Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as
provided in paragraph (b) below.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and
prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Revolving
Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Revolving Loans of such
Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or
resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Revolving Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.12, a notice to a Borrower by any Lender shall be effective
as to each Eurodollar Revolving Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently
applicable to such Eurodollar Revolving Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on
the date of receipt by such Borrower.
Section 2.13 Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense
which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to
fulfill on the date of any borrowing or any issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder the applicable
conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by such Borrower to borrow or continue any
Loan hereunder or to proceed with the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder after
irrevocable notice of such borrowing, continuation or issuance has been given pursuant to Section
2.02, 2.03, 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, as applicable, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a
Eurodollar Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made
to or by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
provided that such Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Lender pursuant to this
clause (c) for any loss or expense to the extent any such loss or expense shall have been incurred
pursuant to (i) Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.17 or (ii) Section 2.10(a) more than six months prior to
the date that the applicable Lender shall have notified such Borrower of its intention to claim
compensation therefor, (d) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan
to such Borrower or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at
the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment
or otherwise), (e) the failure of such Borrower to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the
Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (f) the occurrence of any Event of Default including, in each
such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or
any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining
the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed (based, in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, on the Eurodollar Rate) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment
or conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the
date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender)
that would be realized by such Lender in
29
reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or converted or not
borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of any amount or amounts which such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 Pro Rata Treatment. Except in the case of any Competitive Borrowing or as required
under Sections 2.12 or 2.18, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any
Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction
of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to a Borrowing of any Type, shall be
allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such
Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal
amounts of their outstanding Revolving Loans). Each payment of interest of any Competitive
Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in
accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding
Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For the purpose of determining the available
Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to
have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that have not made Loans as
part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments. Each
Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to
the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.
Section 2.15 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a
right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim
under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from,
or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or
involuntary) in respect of any Loans (other than (i) Competitive Loans or (ii) pursuant to Sections
2.09, 2.11 and 2.12) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans (other than
Competitive Loans) shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans
(other than Competitive Loans) of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have
purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the
purchase price for, a participation in the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) of such other
Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans (other than Competitive Loans)
and participations in the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans (other than Competitive Loans) then outstanding as
the principal amount of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans) prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans (other than
Competitive Loans) outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or
other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or
adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall
thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent
of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each
Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a
participation in a Loan (other than a Competitive Loan) deemed to have been so purchased may
exercise any and all rights of
30
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all
moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made
a Loan (other than a Competitive Loan) directly to such Borrower in the amount of such
participation.
Section 2.16 Payments. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or
interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts payable with respect to the Letters of
Credit or otherwise) hereunder and under any other Loan Document without setoff, counterclaim or
deduction of any kind not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in
dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, in
immediately available funds.
(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or
other amounts payable with respect to the Letters of Credit or otherwise) hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business
Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by a Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section
2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
any income, franchise, branch profits or similar tax imposed on or measured by the net income or
net profits of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or any Lender (or
any transferee or assignee that acquires a Loan (any such entity a “Transferee”)) by the
United States or any jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or doing business or any
political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If either Borrower
shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the
Lenders (or any Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent,
(i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17)
such Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made
by such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or
registration of or performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise with
respect to such Borrower’s role in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred
to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee), each Swing Line Bank, each
Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and
31
Other Taxes (including
any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by such Borrower under this
Section 2.17) paid by such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority.
Each Borrower shall also indemnify each Lender (or any Transferee), each Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or
receipts of such Lender (or any Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as such Lender (or Transferee), such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent shall determine are payable in respect of amounts paid by such Borrower to or
on behalf of such Lender (or any Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.17. Such indemnification
shall be made within 30 days after the date any Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If
any Lender (or Transferee), any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent becomes entitled to a
refund of Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower
hereunder, such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the expense of such Borrower, use its
reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
obtain such refund. If a Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, a Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent receives a refund or is entitled to claim a tax credit in respect of any Taxes
or Other Taxes for which such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower hereunder it shall promptly notify
such Borrower of such refund or credit and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by such
Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if such Borrower has requested application for such refund or
credit pursuant hereto), repay such refund or amount of credit to such Borrower, net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or
the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and without interest; provided that each Borrower,
upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund or amount of credit (plus penalties, interest or
other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the
Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting
Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or such credit is denied or
subsequently determined to be unavailable.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by either
Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any
Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent,
at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof to the proper Governmental Authority.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements
and obligations contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the principal
of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.
32
(f) Each Lender (or Transferee), each Swing Line Bank or each Fronting Bank, which is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date
of its execution and delivery of this Agreement or, in the case of a Transferee, on the date on
which it becomes a Lender and in the case of any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank,
on or prior to the date such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank changes its funding
office, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by either Borrower (but only so
long thereafter as such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank remains lawfully able to
do so), shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or
other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of
exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-4(a) or 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent
version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing
Line Bank or such Fronting Bank establishing that any payment under the Loan Documents is (i) not
subject to withholding under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the
conduct by such Lender (or Transferee) or such Fronting Bank of a trade or business in the United
States, or (ii) fully or partially exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable
tax treaty, or (iii) not subject to withholding under the portfolio interest exception under
Section 881(c) of
the Code (and, if such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank
delivers a Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of exemption from United States withholding tax under
Section 881(c), a certificate representing that such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank
or such Fronting Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a
10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of either Borrower
and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to either Borrower (within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received
forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not
subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an
applicable tax treaty, each applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes
from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender
(or Transferee), any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States. If a Lender (or Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a
Fronting Bank is unable to deliver one of these forms or if the forms provided by a Lender (or
Transferee) or a Fronting Bank, at the time such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or
such Fronting Bank, first becomes a party to this Agreement or at the time a Lender (or
Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank, changes its funding office (other than at the
request of a Borrower) indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender
(or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be
considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such appropriate forms; provided,
however, that if at the effective date of a transfer pursuant to which a Lender (or
Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender (or
Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or the Fronting Banks assignor was entitled to payments under
Section 2.17(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in
33
Taxes) United States withholding
tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or the
Fronting Banks, assignee on such date.
(g) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or
Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or any Fronting Bank in respect of United States withholding tax
pursuant to paragraph (a) above for any period in respect of which the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Transferee), such
Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above unless
such failure results from (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation
thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change
in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the
Closing Date (and, in the case of a Transferee, after the date of assignment or transfer).
(h) Any Lender (or Transferee), any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank claiming any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent
with internal policy, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document
requested by the Borrowers or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the
making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the
amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable determination of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank
be materially disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting
Bank or require the disclosure of information that such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line
Bank or such Fronting Bank reasonably considers to be confidential.
Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (including the
Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank) requests compensation under Section
2.11, or if it becomes unlawful for any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line
Bank or any Fronting Bank) to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, or if a
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any
Swing Line Bank, any Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or any Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender, the
Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank shall, at the request of such
Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans or for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender,
the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or
2.17 or no longer make it unlawful for such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank
or such Fronting Bank, to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, as the case may be,
in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line
Bank or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such
Fronting Bank, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay all
34
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Banks or any Fronting Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender or any Fronting Bank requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if it
becomes unlawful for any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender, any Swing Line Bank any Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender,
any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank defaults in its obligation to fund Loans or issue Letters
of Credit hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) require such
Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by
it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) the Borrowers shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (y) such assigning Lender, Swing Line Bank or Fronting Bank shall have received payment
of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the
extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case
of all other amounts) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or (ii) terminate the
Commitment of such Lender upon notice given to such Lender within forty-five (45) days of receipt
of the notice given by the Lender; provided that such notice shall be accompanied by
prepayment in full of all Loans from such Lender, including accrued interest thereon and any
breakage costs, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender, without extension,
conversion or continuation. A Lender, a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank shall not be required
to make any such assignment and delegation under clause (i) above or terminate its Commitment under
clause (ii) above if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender, such Swing Line Bank
or such Fronting Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation or termination of Commitment cease to apply.
Section 2.19 Competitive Bid Procedure. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, a Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any
obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided that the sum
of (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed the Total Commitment. To request Competitive Bids, a
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, four Business Days before the
date of the proposed Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such
telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid
35
Request in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent and signed by such Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing;
(iv) the Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”: and
(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed.
Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this Section 2.19, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details thereof in writing (which may be by
telecopy) inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.
(b) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids
to the applicable Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a
Lender must be substantially in a form to be provided by the Administrative Agent and must be
received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed
date of such Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that
do not conform substantially to the form provided by the Administrative Agent may be rejected by
the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as
promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall
be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire
principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the applicable Borrower) of the
Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or
Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate
per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and (iii) the Interest
Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower in writing (which
may be by telecopy) of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified in each
Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.
(d) Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower may accept or reject any
Competitive Bid. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone,
confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it
has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Eurodollar
36
Competitive
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
the proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the
failure of the applicable Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each
Competitive Bid, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a
particular Competitive Bid Rate if such Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower
Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the applicable
Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in
the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii)
above, the applicable Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in
part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate,
shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except
pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless
such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000
because of the
provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or
any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of
portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv)
the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the
applicable Borrower. A notice given by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be
irrevocable.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender in writing (which may
be by telecopy) whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and
Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will upon receipt of such notice
become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect
of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.
(f) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a
Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the applicable Borrower at least one
quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their
Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
(g) The applicable Borrower shall pay, for each Competitive Bid Request submitted pursuant to
Section 2.19(a), an auction fee to the Administrative Agent in an amount to be agreed by and
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such auction fee shall be due and owing
irrespective of whether any Lender submits a Competitive Bid pursuant to such Competitive Bid
Request.
Section 2.20 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Weyerhaeuser may from time to time request
the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account (for obligations of Weyerhaeuser or any of
its Subsidiaries), denominated in dollars, in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Fronting Bank, at any time and from time to time until the earlier of (i)
the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (ii) the termination of the
Commitments hereunder. The letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.20
37
(the “Existing
Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Closing Date for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Section shall not be construed
to impose an obligation upon any Fronting Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order
to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of
Credit), Weyerhaeuser shall hand deliver or telecopy to the applicable Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension,
the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below),
the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare
such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only
if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Weyerhaeuser shall
be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension, the sum of (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure and (ii) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the Total Commitment. The Administrative Agent
shall, from time to time at the request of any Lender and in any case once during each fiscal
quarter of Weyerhaeuser and based on the information provided to it by the Fronting Banks, provide
the Lenders with the amount of the L/C Exposure. Each of the Fronting Banks hereby agrees to
provide the Administrative Agent on demand with all the information necessary in the computation
thereof.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the earlier of
(i) one year from the date of its issuance and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to
the Termination Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further
action on the part of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Lenders, each Fronting Bank hereby grants
to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Fronting Bank, a participation in
each Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
from time to time of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit,
effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing and for so long as any Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding hereunder, each Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the applicable Fronting Bank, such Lender’s proportionate share of each L/C Disbursement made by
such Fronting Bank and not reimbursed by Weyerhaeuser forthwith on the date due as provided in
Section 2.20(e). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Commitments, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
38
(e) Reimbursement. If a Fronting Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, Weyerhaeuser shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C
Disbursement not later than the Business Day after Weyerhaeuser shall have received notice from
such Fronting Bank that payment of such draft has been made. Upon receipt thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such reimbursement payment to such Fronting Bank and
to the extent each Lender has funded its participation therein in accordance with paragraph (d), to
such Lenders.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Weyerhaeuser’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements
as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances
whatsoever, and irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Weyerhaeuser, any
other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, Weyerhaeuser or any subsidiary or
other affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary
under any Letter of Credit, any Fronting Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by any Fronting Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Fronting Bank, the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Weyerhaeuser’s
obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Fronting
Bank from liability to Weyerhaeuser to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Weyerhaeuser to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by Weyerhaeuser that are caused by such Fronting Bank’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under
a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
39
It is understood that any Fronting Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be
in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the applicable Fronting
Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any
and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under
such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the
amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and
whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of
Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in
any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents
presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in
each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Fronting
Bank.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Fronting Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The applicable Fronting Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification,
confirmed by telecopy, to the Administrative Agent and Weyerhaeuser of such demand for payment and
whether such Fronting Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Weyerhaeuser of its
obligation to reimburse such Fronting Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C
Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice thereof.
(h) Interim Interest. When (x) a Fronting Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit or (y) any Lender shall have acquired a participation in a Letter of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(d), then, unless Weyerhaeuser shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement
or pay for such participation in full on the date thereof, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest for the account of such Fronting Bank or such Lender, as applicable, for each day from and
including the date of such L/C Disbursement or the acquisition of such participation, as
applicable, to but excluding the earlier of, to the extent applicable, the date of payment by
Weyerhaeuser or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue on the Base Rate Loans
resulting from such L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that
would apply to such amount if such amount were a Base Rate Loan.
(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
Weyerhaeuser shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the Lenders, as applicable, an
amount in cash equal to the portion of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued
for the account of Weyerhaeuser and outstanding as of such date; provided that, if any of
the events described in Sections 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) shall occur with respect to a Borrower,
Weyerhaeuser shall automatically deposit, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice
of any kind, an amount in cash equal to the portion of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of
Credit issued for the account of Weyerhaeuser and outstanding as of such date in an
40
account with
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the Lenders, as applicable.
Each deposit of cash pursuant to this Section 2.20(i) shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations under this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. Such deposits shall not bear interest. Moneys in such account
shall automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Fronting
Bank and Lenders participating pursuant to Section 2.20(d) for L/C Disbursements attributable to
Letters of Credit issued for the account of Weyerhaeuser for which such Fronting Bank and such
participating Lenders have not been reimbursed, and any remaining amounts will either (i) be held
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
Weyerhaeuser for the L/C Exposure at such time or (ii) if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If
Weyerhaeuser is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to Weyerhaeuser within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or
waived.
Section 2.21 Swing Line Loans. (a) A Borrower may request a Swing Line Bank to make, and such
Swing Line Bank shall make, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Swing Line Loans to
such Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until
the Termination Date in an aggregate amount (for all outstanding Swing Line Loans) not to exceed at
any time outstanding $100,000,000; subject, however, to the conditions that (i) at
no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by all Lenders and the
Swing Line Banks plus the L/C Exposure of all Lenders at such time exceed the Total Commitment,
(ii) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by all Lenders
and the Swing Line Banks to WRECO at such time exceed $400,000,000 and (iii) at no time shall the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans made by a Swing Line Bank exceed
$50,000,000. No Swing Line Loan shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal
of any other Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.
(b) In order to request a Swing Line Borrowing, a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to
the relevant Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent a Swing Line Borrowing Request not later
than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed borrowing. Such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) the date of such Swing Line Borrowing (which shall
be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (ii) the maturity of such Swing Line Borrowing
(which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested date of such Swing Line
Borrowing). Such Swing Line Bank will make the amount thereof available to the Administrative
Agent on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and the
Administrative Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amount so received to the
general deposit account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if
a Swing Line Borrowing
41
shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein
specified shall not have been met, return the amount so received to such Swing Line Bank.
(c) Upon written demand by a Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent, each other Lender shall purchase from such Swing Line Bank, and such Swing Line Bank shall
sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Swing
Line Loans of such Swing Line Bank as of the date of such demand, by making available to the
Administrative Agent in New York, New York for the account of such Swing Line Bank by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount
of such Swing Line Loan to be purchased by such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to each such
sale and assignment. Each
Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Percentage of outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant
to the first sentence of this paragraph (c) on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is
made by the relevant Swing Line Bank, provided, that notice of such demand is given to such
Lender not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day or (ii) the first
Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If
and to the extent that any Lender shall have received such notice of demand and shall not have so
made the amount of the relevant Swing Line Loans available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the relevant Swing Line Bank until the date such
amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the relevant Swing Line Bank on any
Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Loan made
by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal
amount of the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such
Business Day.

revaluation of timber and timberlands, of Weyerhaeuser and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
after deducting the cost of shares of Weyerhaeuser held in treasury.

been or is to be sold or transferred by Weyerhaeuser or such Restricted Subsidiary to such
Person (herein referred to as a “Sale and Lease-Back Transaction”), unless (i) Weyerhaeuser

incorporated and doing business primarily within the United States of America which shall
expressly assume, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, the

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 8.01 The Administrative Agent. In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank
is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks,
and the Fronting Banks. Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks, and each
assignee thereof, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on
behalf of such Lender, the Swing Line Banks and such Fronting Bank and to exercise such powers as
are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms and provisions hereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks
and the Fronting Banks, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of
the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks all payments of principal of and interest
on the Loans, all reimbursements made with respect to L/C Disbursements and all other amounts due
to the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks hereunder, and promptly to distribute
to each Lender, each Swing Line Bank and each Fronting Bank its proper share of each payment so
received; (b) to give prompt notice on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting
Banks to the Borrowers of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the

to distribute promptly to each Lender, each Swing Line Bank and each Fronting Bank copies of all
notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall
be liable as such to any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank for any action taken or
omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be
responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document
delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the
performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements
contained in any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders,
the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks for (i) the due execution, genuineness, validity,
enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments
or agreements or (ii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Loan Document, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The
duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in
accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, the Lenders, the Swing Line
Banks or any Fronting Bank, as the case may be, and, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of
the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and all of the Fronting Banks. The Administrative Agent shall,
in the absence
64
of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or
persons. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall
have any responsibility to the Borrowers on account of the failure of or delay in performance or
breach by any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank of any of its obligations hereunder
or to any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank on account of the failure of or delay in
performance or breach by any other Lender, any Swing Line Bank, any Fronting Bank or the Borrowers
of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection
herewith or therewith. The foregoing shall not limit the obligations of JPMorgan Chase Bank (or
its successors and assigns) in its capacity as Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent may
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to
rely upon the advice of legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be
liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such agent or
employee, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks
and the Fronting Banks hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to
any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any
discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders, the Lenders, the Swing
Line Banks or any Fronting Bank, as the case may be, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Swing Line
Banks, the Fronting Banks and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative
65
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of
this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent.
Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and each of the Fronting Banks agrees (i) to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its
Commitment hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks
and the Fronting Banks by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and
the Fronting Banks, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers and (ii) to indemnify and
hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on
demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against it in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or any of them in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or
omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the
same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers; provided that no Lender, nor any
Swing Line Bank nor any Fronting Bank shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers,
employees, or agents.
Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and each of the Fronting Banks acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, any Swing
Line Bank or any Fronting Bank and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the
Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and each Fronting Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any
Fronting Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.02 Other Agents. Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks, each of the Fronting Banks
and each of the Borrowers acknowledges (A) that each of the Lead Arrangers in their capacity as
Lead Arranger, Joint Book Runner, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents, and Co-Documentation

consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii)
each of the Fronting Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Administrative Agent must give their prior
written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
(iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be
less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,
(iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iv) shall
not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Loans, (v) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender prior
to such assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and
provided further that any consent of a Borrower otherwise required under this
paragraph shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
68
all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13, 2.17 and
9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of
this Section.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall
maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
(absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, if any, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record
the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes
of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to
it and its interests in, rights to payment under and obligations with respect to the Letters of
Credit issued hereunder); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13 and 2.17 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.
69
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or
2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any
notes held by it pursuant to Section 2.05(e)) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to, or consent
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h) Weyerhaeuser authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or assignee and any
prospective Participant or assignee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession
concerning Weyerhaeuser or any Subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser which has been delivered to such Lender
by a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by a Borrower
in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of a Borrower prior to entering into this
Agreement; provided that such Participant or assignee or prospective Participant or
assignee agrees to treat any such information which is not public as confidential in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement.
Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any
Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank in connection with the enforcement or protection of their
rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the
Loans made and the Letters of Credit issued, including the fees and disbursements of Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special counsel for the Administrative Agent, and, in connection with any
such amendment, modification or waiver made in connection with any such enforcement or protection,
the fees and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Fronting Bank. The Borrowers further agree jointly and severally that they shall indemnify the
Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks from and hold them harmless against any
documentary taxes, assessments or charges
made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or any Letters of Credit.
(b) Each Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Swing Line Bank,
each Fronting Bank and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (each
such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any
way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery by such Borrower of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
70
contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii)
the use of the proceeds of the Loans by such Borrower or of the Letters of Credit issued on behalf
of Weyerhaeuser or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.
(c) It is understood and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest,
each Indemnitee shall endeavor to work cooperatively with Weyerhaeuser with a view toward
minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any potential settlement or
judgment. To the extent reasonably practicable and not disadvantageous to any Indemnitee, it is
anticipated that a single counsel selected by Weyerhaeuser may be used. Settlement of any claim or
litigation involving any material indemnified amount will require the approval of Weyerhaeuser (not
to be unreasonably withheld).
(d) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans or L/C Disbursements, the termination of any
Letters of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be
payable on written demand therefor.
Section 9.06 Right of Setoff. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, each Swing Line Bank and each Fronting Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, without notice to such Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by such Borrower),
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time
owing by such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank or any of their respective
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents held by such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender, each Swing Line Bank and each Fronting
Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) which such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank may have.
Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO (OTHER THAN AS RELATED TO
LETTERS OF CREDIT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
71
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT OR, IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE
DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT
GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the Fronting Banks hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the
Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) change the principal
amount of, or extend or advance the maturity of or any date for the scheduled payment of any
principal of or interest on, any Loan, or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond
the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date or waive or excuse any such
scheduled payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the
prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change the Commitment or decrease or
extend any date for the payment of the Facility Fees, Utilization Fees or L/C Participation Fees of
any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, or
(iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.14, the provisions of this Section 9.08 or
the definition of “Termination Date” or “Required Lenders,” without prior written consent of each
Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank,
as the case may be, hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Swing
Line Bank or Fronting Bank, as the case may be. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver,
amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08, and any consent by any Lender pursuant
to this Section 9.08 shall bind any person subsequently acquiring a Loan from it.
Section 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other
Loan Document, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender,
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with
72
applicable law, the rate of
interest payable with respect to each Loan owing to each Lender, together with all Charges payable
to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.
Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the letter
agreements referred to in Section 2.04(b) (with respect to the payment of fees only) constitute the
entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or
implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights,
remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents.
Section 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
Section 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.
Section 9.14 Headings. The cover page, the Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Borrowers hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting
in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
73
recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in
this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line
Bank or any Fronting Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents against either Borrower or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court located in New York City. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation
System, Inc. presently located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its designee,
appointee and attorney-in-fact to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in
respect of its property, service of any and all legal
process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding.
If for any reason such designee, appointee and attorney-in-fact shall cease to be available to act
as such, each Borrower agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and attorney-in-fact in New
York City on the terms and for purposes of this provision satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 9.16 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the
account of any office, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.
Section 9.17 Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) Set forth on Schedule 3.08 Part I is a
list of all of the Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Weyerhaeuser as of the
Closing Date.
(b) Set forth on Schedule 3.08 Part II is a list of all of the Restricted Subsidiaries and

Default or Event of Default; (ii) any such designation shall be effective not less than five
Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been provided to each Lender; and
74
(iii) upon
such designation, Schedule 3.08 Part I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such designation.
Any Person that becomes a Subsidiary (by formation, acquisition, merger or otherwise) after the

date it becomes a Subsidiary unless designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms
hereof.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF REVOLVING BORROWING REQUEST
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
for the Lenders referred to below,
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
[Date]
Attention: [ ]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, [
Weyerhaeuser Company][Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company] (the “Borrower”),
refers to the $1,000,000,000 Competitive Advance and Revolving
Credit Facility Agreement dated as
of December 19, 2006 (as it may hereafter be amended, modified, extended or restated from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto from time to time,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, a Swing Line Bank and an Initial Fronting Bank,
Citibank, N.A., as the Syndication Agent, a Swing Line Bank and an Initial Fronting Bank, Bank of
America, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as
Documentation Agents, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank, as Co-Documentation Agent. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the

NON-U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:
I. Corporations:
If your institution is incorporated outside of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, and is the beneficial owner of the interest and other income it receives, you must
complete one of the following three tax forms, as applicable to your institution: a.) Form W-8BEN
(Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), b.) Form W-8ECI (Income Effectively Connected
to a U.S. Trade or Business), or c.) Form W-8EXP (Certificate of Foreign Government or Governmental
Agency).
A U.S. taxpayer identification number is required for any institution submitting Form W-8ECI. It
is also required on Form W-8BEN for certain institutions claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with
the U.S. Please refer to the instructions when completing the form applicable to your institution.
In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed
forms. An original tax form must be submitted.
II. Flow-Through Entities:
If your institution is organized outside the U.S., and is classified for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as either a Partnership, Trust, Qualified or Non-Qualified Intermediary, or other non-U.S.
flow-through entity, an original Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign
Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding) must be completed
by the intermediary together with a withholding statement. Flow-through entities other than
Qualified Intermediaries are required to include tax forms for each of the underlying beneficial
owners.
Please refer to the instructions when completing this form. In addition, please be advised that
U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Original tax form(s) must be
submitted.
U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:
If your institution is incorporated or organized within the United States, you must complete and
return Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). Please be advised
that we request that you submit an original Form W-9.
Pursuant to the language contained in the tax section of the Credit Agreement, the applicable tax
form for your institution must be completed and returned prior to the first payment of income.
Failure to provide the proper tax form when requested may subject your institution to U.S. tax
withholding.

N.A. and the lenders referred to therein, all such indebtedness to which this Note is subordinate
and junior being hereinafter referred to as “Prior Debt” and the governing loan documents being
hereinafter referred to as the “Prior Debt Instruments”), as follows:
(i) In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete,
voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets
of the Company, or the proceeds thereof, to creditors of the Company or upon any
indebtedness of the Company occurring by reason of liquidation, dissolution or other winding
up of the Company or by reason of any execution, sale, receivership, insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings or other proceedings for the reorganization or readjustment of the
Company or its debts or properties, then in any such event such Prior Debt shall be
preferred in payment over the Subordinated Notes and such Prior Debt shall be first paid and
satisfied in full, in accordance with the order of priority of payment established by any
applicable provisions thereof and by any instruments whereunder any Prior Debt is issued,
before any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities (other than in securities the payment of which is subordinated to said Prior Debt
to the same extent as herein provided), shall be made on or in respect of principal or
interest of the Subordinated Notes; and in any such event any such payment, dividend or
distribution (other than in securities the payment of which is also subordinated as
aforesaid) which shall be made upon or in respect thereof shall be paid over to the holders
of such Prior Debt, pro rata, for application on such Prior Debt in accordance with the
order of priority of payment established by any applicable provisions thereof and by any
instrument whereunder any Prior Debt is issued, until said Prior Debt has been fully paid.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, during the continuance of any default in payment
of principal, sinking fund, interest or premium, if any, on any Prior Debt, no payment of
principal or interest shall be made on or with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by any
Subordinated Note, or any renewals or extensions thereof, and the holder or holders of any
Subordinated Notes shall not be entitled to receive or retain any such payment made during
the continuance of any such default.
(iii) Also without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not make, and the holder
or holders of any Subordinated Notes shall not be entitled to receive or retain, any payment
of principal or interest on the Subordinated Notes (whether such payment is made directly or
indirectly through the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Notes by or
for the benefit of the Company), if at the time of any such payment and after giving effect
thereto, an Event of Default (as that term is defined in any of the Prior Debt Instruments),
is then continuing, or if any event has occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving
of notice, or both, will become such an Event of Default under any of the Prior Debt
Instruments.
(iv) No right of any present or future holder of any Prior Debt to enforce
subordination as herein provided for shall at any time be breached or impaired by any
failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with
E-2
the terms, provisions and covenants hereof or of said Prior Debt, regardless of any
knowledge thereof that any holder of Prior Debt may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without limiting the foregoing the holder or holders of said Prior Debt may receive and hold
collateral for the payment of such Prior Debt, may make substitutions and releases of
collateral or any part thereof, whether or not such holder or holders receive any
consideration therefor; may grant renewals or extensions of time for the payment of
installments of said Prior Debt or any part thereof, and take renewal notes or other
instruments to evidence the same; and no action or non-action taken or omitted to be taken
in respect of the foregoing matters or any of them by any holder or holders of Prior Debt at
any time or from time to time shall invalidate or impair the subordination herein provided
for.
