SERVICES

Section 2.02. Performance of Services .

-5-

(a) The Provider shall perform, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to perform, all Services to be provided by the Provider in a manner that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in all material respects to the analogous services provided by or on behalf of Rayonier or any of its Subsidiaries to Rayonier or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party. If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise the Recipient of such potential violation, and the Provider and the Recipient will mutually seek an alternative that addresses such potential violation. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow the Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided by the Provider hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.02 . Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) incurred by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Services shall be divided proportionately between the Provider and the Recipient in accordance with such Parties’ respective utilization of such Services at such time. If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent, or the performance of such Service by the Provider would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, the Provider shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform or cause to be performed such Service.

(c) The Provider shall not be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a manner that is materially more burdensome (with respect to service quality or quantity) than analogous services provided to Rayonier or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “ Level of Service ”) during calendar year 2013 (the “ Service Baseline Period ”). If the Recipient requests that the Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service that exceeds the Level of Service during the Service Baseline Period, then the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether the Provider will be required to provide such requested higher Level of Service. If the Parties determine that the Provider shall provide the requested higher Level of Service, then such higher Level of Service shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the Parties. Each amended section of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such written agreement and the Level of Service increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than the Recipient and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.02 OR SECTION 7.04 , EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, THAT

-6-

THE RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT THE PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES. EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

(e) Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party.

Section 2.03. Charges for Services . The Recipient shall pay the Provider of the Services a fee (either one-time or recurring) for such Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “ Charge ” and, collectively, “ Charges ”), which Charges shall be based upon the cost of providing such Services and shall be agreed to by the Parties from time to time. During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Service may be modified to the extent of (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by the Parties, (b) any adjustments due to a change in Level of Service requested by the Recipient and agreed upon by the Provider, and (c) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services (proportional to the respective use of such Services by each Party). Together with any invoice for Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to the extent that such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

Section 2.04. Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses . The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided , however , that any such cost or expense in excess of five hundred dollars ($500.00), in the aggregate, that is not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance written approval of the Recipient. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.05. Changes in the Performance of Services . Subject to the performance standards for Services set forth in Sections 2.02(a) , 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) , the Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if the Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if the Provider furnishes to the Recipient reasonable prior written notice (in content and timing) of such changes. No such change shall materially adversely affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service. If any such change by the Provider reasonably requires the Recipient to incur an increase in costs and expenses of at least five percent (5%), in the aggregate, in order to continue to receive and utilize the

-7-

applicable Services in the same manner as the Recipient was receiving and utilizing such Service prior to such change, the Provider shall be required to reimburse the Recipient for all such reasonable increase in costs and expenses. Upon request, the Recipient shall provide the Provider with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Provider to the extent such documentation is in the Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such increase in costs and expenses.

Section 2.06. Transitional Nature of Services . The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or its designee).

Section 2.07. Subcontracting . A Provider may hire or engage one or more Third Parties to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided , however , that (a) such Provider shall use the same degree of care (but at least reasonable care) in selecting each of such Third Party as it would if such Third Party was being retained to provide similar services to the Provider and (b) such Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the performance standard for Services set forth in Sections 2.02(a) , 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient. Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article VI , each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any Information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by a Third Party, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such Third Party and the Provider and other supporting documentation; provided , further , however , that each Party shall make no more than one such request during any calendar quarter.

(c) No Contrary Knowledge . Each of Rayonier and SpinCo represents and warrants that it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the Tax treatment of the Restructuring or the Distribution to be other than the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

(d) No Contrary Plan . Each of Rayonier and SpinCo represents and warrants that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates, has any plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Reliance Materials.

Section 8.02. Restrictions Relating to the Distribution .

(a) General . Neither Rayonier nor SpinCo shall, nor shall Rayonier or SpinCo permit any Rayonier Entity or any SpinCo Entity, respectively, to take any action that constitutes (or fail to take an action, the omission of which would result in, as applicable) a Disqualifying Action described in the definitions of Rayonier Disqualifying Action and SpinCo Disqualifying Action, respectively.

(b) Restrictions . Prior to the first day following the second anniversary of the Distribution (the “ Restriction Period ”), SpinCo:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the SpinCo Business, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, in all cases as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution.

(ii) shall not, and shall not permit any SpinCo Entity (other than any SpinCo Entity (A) treated as an entity disregarded from its owner for federal income tax purposes or (B) that owns no, or only a de minimis amount of, assets) to voluntarily dissolve or liquidate (including any action that is a liquidation for federal income tax purposes).

(iii) shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person and shall not permit any SpinCo Entity to merge or consolidate with any other Person or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or

21

transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Reliance Materials) which in the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this Section 8.02(b)(iii)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in SpinCo or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

(iv) shall not, and shall not permit any SpinCo Entity (or members of their respective SAG) to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 30% of the gross assets of such SpinCo Entity or more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of such SpinCo Entity and members of its respective SAG. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (B) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (C) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for federal income tax purposes or (D) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of such SpinCo Entity (or any member of its respective SAG). The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of such SpinCo Entity or its respective SAG, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of such SpinCo Entity and the members of its respective SAG as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 8.02(b)(iv), a merger of a SpinCo Entity (or a member of its SAG) with and into any Person shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of such SpinCo Entity or such member.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Sections 8.02(b), during the Restriction Period, SpinCo may proceed with any of the actions or transactions described therein, if (i) SpinCo shall first have requested Rayonier to obtain a supplemental ruling in accordance with Section 8.03(a) of this Agreement to the effect that such action or transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and Rayonier shall have received such a supplemental ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, (ii) SpinCo shall have provided to Rayonier an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Rayonier, or (iii) Rayonier shall have waived in writing the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. In determining whether a ruling or opinion is satisfactory, Rayonier shall exercise its discretion, in good faith, solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions or representations used as a basis for the ruling or opinion and the views on the substantive merits. For the avoidance of doubt, SpinCo shall not be relieved of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Article V or otherwise under this Agreement as a result of having satisfied the requirements of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8.02(c).

(d) Certain Issuances of Capital Stock . If SpinCo proposes to enter into any Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent SpinCo has the right to prohibit any Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the Restriction Period, SpinCo shall provide Rayonier, no later than ten (10) days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to any Section

22

8.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of SpinCo capital stock to be issued in such transaction).

(e) Tax Reporting . Each of Rayonier and SpinCo covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any Income Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

Section 8.03. Procedures Regarding Opinion and Rulings .

(a) If SpinCo notifies Rayonier that it desires to take one of the actions described in Sections 8.02(b) (a “ Notified Action ”), Rayonier shall cooperate with SpinCo and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a supplemental ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting SpinCo to take the Notified Action unless Rayonier shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. If such a ruling is to be sought, Rayonier shall apply for such ruling and Rayonier and SpinCo shall jointly control the process of obtaining such ruling. In no event shall Rayonier be required to file any ruling request under this Section 8.03(a) unless SpinCo represents that (i) it has read such ruling request, and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the SpinCo Group, contained in such ruling request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. SpinCo shall reimburse Rayonier for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Rayonier Group in obtaining a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by SpinCo within ten (10) days after receiving an invoice from Rayonier therefor.

(b) Rayonier shall have the right to obtain a supplemental ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Rayonier determines to obtain such ruling or opinion, SpinCo shall (and shall cause each SpinCo Entity to) cooperate with Rayonier and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Rayonier in connection with obtaining such ruling or opinion (including by making any representation or reasonable covenant or providing any materials requested by the IRS or the law firm issuing such opinion); provided that SpinCo shall not be required to make (or cause a SpinCo Entity to make) any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which it has no control. In connection with obtaining such ruling, Rayonier shall apply for such ruling and shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining such ruling. Rayonier and SpinCo shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Rayonier.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.03(a) and (b) neither SpinCo nor any SpinCo Affiliate shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Restructuring or Distribution (including the impact of any transaction on the Restructuring or Distribution).
