LONG-TERM DEBT ASSUMED IN THE POPE RESOURCES MERGER
Through our merger with Pope Resources, we assumed long-term debt instruments consisting of:
five tranches of a credit facility payable to Northwest Farm Credit Services (“NWFCS”) (defined and described below) totaling $45.0 million, collateralized by the portion of Pacific Northwest Core Timberlands acquired in the merger with Pope Resources; and
two of Fund II's Mortgages Payable to MetLife (defined and described below) totaling $25.0 million, collateralized by a portion of Fund II timberlands; and
two of Fund III's Mortgages Payable to NWFCS (defined and described below) totaling $32.4 million, collateralized by a portion of Fund III timberlands.
NWFCS CREDIT FACILITY
We assumed five tranches of a credit facility payable to NWFCS (the “NWFCS Credit Facility”) totaling $45.0 million. Quarterly payments of interest only are due on the NWFCS Credit Facility through the respective maturity of each tranche. The NWFCS Credit Facility is collateralized by a portion of the Pacific Northwest timberlands acquired in the merger with Pope Resources. The NWFCS Credit Facility allows us to receive annual patronage payments, which are profit distributions made by a cooperative to its member-users based on the quantity or value of business done with the member-user.
The pertinent details of each tranche of the NWFCS Credit Facility we assumed are as follows:

FUND II MORTGAGES PAYABLE
We assumed Fund II's two mortgages payable (the “Fund II Mortgages Payable”) to MetLife totaling $25.0 million. Quarterly payments of interest only are due on the Fund II Mortgages Payable through their respective maturities. The Fund II Mortgages Payable are collateralized by Fund II Timberlands and do not have any recourse to the Company or the Operating Partnership.
