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 Revolver Termination Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment at such time, subject, however, to the conditions that:

(a) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans (including, if the Term Loan Conversion has been elected, Term Loans) made by all Lenders 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 (including, if the Term Loan Conversion has been elected, Term Loans) made by all Lenders to WRECO exceed $400,000,000; and

(c) at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by each Lender shall equal the product of (i) the Applicable Percentage times (ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.19.

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 Revolver 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 and each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans and Term Loans, respectively, made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any 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 Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any 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 and each Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to paragraph (e) hereof. 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 same time; provided, however, that neither

Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than twenty (20) separate Loans from any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c) Each Lender shall make each 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 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. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date and time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such 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 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 Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Termination Date; provided that no Revolving Borrowing shall have an Interest Period ending after the Revolver 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 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, prior to the Revolver Termination Date, 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 such Borrower 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 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(d) and 2.19, respectively, with respect to the Type of Borrowing into which conversion or continuation is to be made, to convert any of its Borrowings into a Borrowing of a different Type and to continue any of its Eurodollar 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 Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, the aggregate principal amount of such 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) with respect to a Revolving Borrowing, 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 Revolver Termination Date;

(v) with respect to a Term Borrowing, if such Term 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; and

(vi) interest accrued to the day immediately preceding each date of conversion or continuation shall be payable on each Borrowing (or part thereof) that is converted or continued concurrently with such conversion or continuation.

(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 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 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 Borrowing.

(c) If the applicable Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.03 to continue any Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 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 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.

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:


	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 5
S&P: Xxxxx’x:	A - or better A3 or better	BBB+ Baa1	BBB Baa2	BBB- Baa3	Below BBB- Below Baa3
Facility Fee	0.075%	0.100%	0.125%	0.150%	0.175%

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 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 February 26, 2004, 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 Termination Date (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 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, unless the Borrowers elect the Term Loan Conversion, be payable on the Revolver Termination Date and (ii) each Term Loan shall be payable 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 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.

(e) Any Lender may request that 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 each Eurodollar 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.

(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.

(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, (ii) the Utilization Fee, and (iii) if applicable, the Term-Out Premium. The applicable percentage referred to in Clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined based upon the Ratings, as follows:


	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 0	Xxxxx 5
S&P: Xxxxx’x:	A- or better A3 or better	BBB+ Baa1	BBB Baa2	BBB- Baa3	Below BBB- Below Baa3
Eurodollar Loan:	0.4250%	0.5250%	0.6250%	0.8500%	1.3250%
Base Rate Loan:	0.0000%	0.0000%	0.0000%	0.0000%	0.3250%

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 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) a percentage per annum equal to 0.125% for any date on which the sum of (A) the Aggregate Credit Exposure plus (B) the “Aggregate Credit Exposure,” as defined under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, is equal to or exceeds 33% of the sum of (X) the Total Commitment and (Y) the “Total Commitment” as defined under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, and (ii) a percentage per annum equal to 0.000% for any other date.

(f) As used herein, “Term-Out Premium” shall mean, upon an election by a Borrower of a Term Loan Conversion pursuant to Section 2.19, a percentage per annum equal to 0.250%.

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, 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 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 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 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 Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing, and (ii) any request by the Borrowers for a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar 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. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The unused Commitments of each Lender shall be automatically terminated on the Revolver Termination Date, and, if the Term Loan Conversion is elected, the remaining 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) The Total Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced on each date on which prepayment thereof is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) in the amount of such prepayment. In addition, the Total Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced on each date on which prepayment thereof is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) in an amount equal to the applicable Reduction Amount. “Reduction Amount” shall mean, with respect to any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any assets of Weyerhaeuser or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Sales), on any date, the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto on such date less (i) any amounts applied with respect thereto to prepay any outstanding amounts under the Senior Bank Financing pursuant to Section 2.10(b) (including the amounts required to be cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.20(i) hereof and Section 2.04(i) of the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement), (ii) any amounts applied to reduce Commitments under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, and (iii) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that constitutes Reinvestment Proceeds.

(d) 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. Each of the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any of its respective Revolving Borrowings or Term 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.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds by Weyerhaeuser or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries from the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any assets of Weyerhaeuser or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded Sales), prepay any amounts outstanding under the Senior Bank Financing in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and the amount so outstanding (including the amounts required to be cash collateralized pursuant to (x) Section 2.20(i) hereof and (y) Section 2.04(i) of the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement). Each such prepayment shall be applied first to any amounts outstanding or to be cash collateralized pursuant to the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein, and second to any Loans, L/C Disbursements or cash collateralizations under this Agreement as set forth in clause (iii) below; provided that neither Borrower shall be required to make any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(i) if Weyerhaeuser or any of its Subsidiaries shall apply any of the Net Cash Proceeds it received from the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of its assets for reinvestment in its business within 180 days after receipt thereof by Weyerhaeuser or any of its Subsidiaries (any such Net Cash Proceeds so reinvested, the “Reinvestment Proceeds”); provided further that Weyerhaeuser shall have notified the Administrative Agent of its intent to so reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii) 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.

(iii) Prepayments required to be made pursuant to clause (i) above to amounts due hereunder shall be first applied to prepay L/C Disbursements then outstanding until such L/C Disbursements are paid in full and second, to the extent required, applied to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.20(i). The amount remaining (if any) after the prepayment in full of the L/C Disbursements and Loans, and the 100% cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit then outstanding pursuant to Section 2.20(i), may be retained by the Borrowers to the extent not required to be applied in accordance with clause (i) above, and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in accordance with Section 2.09(c).

(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 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 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 and any Fronting Bank) of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 Borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such 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 Loans made by it be converted into Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar 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 Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar 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 Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.12, a notice to a Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar 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 or 2.20, 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), or (e) 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 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 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 as required under Sections 2.12 or 2.18, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Revolving Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Revolving 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 principal of any Term Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Term 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 Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. 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 pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.11 and 2.12) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the 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 of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the 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 then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all 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 deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of 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 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, 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), 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), 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 Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and 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 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 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 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), 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 Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower hereunder, such Lender (or Transferee), 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), 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 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 Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and without interest; provided that each Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee), 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 Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee), 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), 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.

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) 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 or any Fronting Bank, on or prior to the date such Lender 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 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) 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) 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) 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) or any Fronting Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. If a Lender (or Transferee) 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) or such Fronting Bank, first becomes a party to this Agreement or at the time a Lender (or Transferee) 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) 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) or a Fronting Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender (or Transferee) or Fronting Bank 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 Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender (or Transferee) or Fronting Bank, assignee on such date.

(g) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) 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) 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) 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) or such Fronting Bank be materially disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee) or such Fronting Bank or require the disclosure of information that such Lender (or Transferee) 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 or any Fronting Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if it becomes unlawful for any Lender (including the Administrative Agent 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 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 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 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 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 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 or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender, the Administrative Agent 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 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 Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender 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 or such Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) require such Lender 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 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 or Fronting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its 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 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 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 Term Loan Conversion. (a) Not less than five days and not more than thirty days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03, each Borrower may elect to convert all or a portion of its respective Revolving Borrowings outstanding as of the Revolver Termination Date into Term Borrowings (the “Term Loan Conversion”) by delivery of a written notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders. If such notice is given, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, that each of its outstanding Revolving Loans that are part of the Borrowings subject to the election to convert will be converted into a term loan (each, a “Term Loan” and collectively, the “Term Loans”) having the same terms as the converted loan on the Revolver Termination Date. Any amount of any Lender’s Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed, and the Term Loans so elected shall commence on the Revolver Termination Date and shall be payable on the Termination Date.

(b) In order to elect the Term Loan Conversion, and in addition to the notice set forth in Section 2.19(a) above, the Borrower electing the Term Loan Conversion shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a request (i) in the case of a Term Borrowing consisting of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the Revolver Termination Date, (ii) in the case of a Term Borrowing consisting of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of the Revolver Termination Date, which request shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (x) whether the Term Borrowing then being requested is to consist of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (y) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be the Revolver Termination Date) and the amount thereof (which shall be the amount of Revolving Borrowings of such Borrower outstanding on the Revolver Termination Date); and (z) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such 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 2.19 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

(c) To the extent Weyerhaeuser shall have failed to elect to convert all or a portion of its Revolving Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.19(a) above, Weyerhaeuser shall, by no later than three days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, cause to be terminated and/or cause to be replaced any and all Letters of Credit then outstanding under this Agreement in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Fronting Banks.

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 Revolver Termination Date and (ii) the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 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, (A) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $600,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Credit Exposure 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 first anniversary of the Revolver 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 2.02(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.

(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.

(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.

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 the Borrower 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. (w) 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.

(x) If on or after the Revolver Termination Date Weyerhaeuser shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.20(e), Weyerhaeuser shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Bank 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.

(y) If, by no later than three days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, Weyerhaeuser shall not have caused to be terminated and/or replaced any and all Letters of Credit then outstanding in accordance with Section 2.19(c), Weyerhaeuser shall 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.

(z) 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.

the Fronting Banks, and each assignee thereof, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender 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 and the Fronting Banks, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders 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 and the Fronting Banks hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender and each Fronting Bank its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give prompt notice on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks to the Borrowers of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute promptly to each Lender 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 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 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 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 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 and all of the Fronting Banks. The Administrative Agent shall, in the absence 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 or any Fronting Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or any Fronting Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 and each of the Fronting Banks acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender 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 and each Fronting Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender 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, each of the Fronting Banks and each of the Borrowers acknowledges (A) that each of the Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book Runners, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents, in their capacity as, respectively, Lead Arranger, Joint Book Runner, Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agent, do not have any responsibility or liability hereunder, and (B) that the titles “Lead Arranger,” “Joint Book Runner,” “Syndication Agent” and “Co-Documentation Agent” are purely honorary in nature.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender and the Initial Fronting Bank and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Fronting Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that, other than as provided in Section 6.01(c) and Section 6.02(d), neither Borrower shall have the right to assign or delegate its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Fronting Banks.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, other than as provided in Section 6.01(c) and Section 6.02(d), neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it and its interests in, rights to payment under and obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit issued at such time); provided that (i) except in the case of an

assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the Borrowers must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each of the Fronting 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, (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 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.

(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 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 Shearman & Sterling 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 or such Fronting Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender 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 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 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 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 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 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 first anniversary of the Revolver 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, Term-Out Premium 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 Section 2.19, 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 hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 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 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.

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 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.

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.

Subject to the following provisions hereof, this Note may be prepaid at any time by the Company without premium.

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all other Subordinated Notes shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all other indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) its Medium-Term Notes, Series A (the “Series A Medium-Term Notes”), issued and to be issued from time to time under the Agency Agreement dated as of May 29, 1992 between the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, (ii) its Medium-Term Notes, Series B (the “Series B Medium-Term Notes”), issued and to be issued from time to time under the Agency Agreement dated as of October 29, 1992 between the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, (iii) its Medium-Term Notes, Series C (the “Series C Medium-Term Notes”), issued and to be issued from time to time under the Agency Agreement dated as of October 13, 1993 between the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York), (iv) its Medium-Term Notes, Series D (the Series D Medium-Term Notes) issued and to be issued from time to time under the Agency Agreement dated as of April 24, 2001, between the Company, Weyerhaeuser Company, and the Chase Manhattan Bank, (v) its Loan Agreement dated November 1, 1996 among the Company, the Banks named therein and the Sumitomo Bank, New York Branch as Agent (the “Loan Agreement”), and (vi) all indebtedness and other amounts owing pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated as of March 23, 2004 (as it may be amended, modified, extended or restated

(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 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.

E-2

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.
