size=2>On October 12, 2006, the Registrant's indirect wholly owned subsidiary,
The Pacific Lumber Company ("Palco"), and Palco's subsidiary, Britt Lumber Co.,
Inc. ("Britt," and together with Palco, the "Borrowers"), and certain of their
affiliates entered into the Omnibus Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement and
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the "Amendment") attached hereto as Exhibit
10.1. The Amendment is among the Borrowers, Marathon Structured Finance Fund
L.P. ("Marathon"), and LaSalle Business Credit, LLC ("LaSalle BC") and LaSalle
Bank National Association ("LaSalle Bank"), and provides for the assignment by
Marathon of $30 million of its $60 million revolving credit commitment to
LaSalle BC. The Amendment also provides for the appointment of LaSalle BC as
collateral agent for the revolving credit facility, and the appointment of
LaSalle Bank as the issuing lender with respect to letters of credit issued
under the revolving credit facility. As collateral agent, LaSalle BC will
perform certain functions previously performed by Marathon. Marathon will
continue to act as administrative agent for the revolving credit facility,
performing the functions specified in the Amendment.</FONT></P>
