Monetization Financing Entity
 
At December 31, 2011, we have a minority voting interest in a financing entity used to monetize a note receivable received from the sale of nonstrategic timberlands and related assets to a nonaffiliated buyer. We are the primary beneficiary of the entity and, accordingly, consolidate the entity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The note receivable has a face value of $397 million and is backed by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a money center bank. The note receivable matures on September 30, 2014 and earns interest at LIBOR. The note receivable and other assets were transferred to the financing entity in 1999.  A nonaffiliated financial institution (the “Third Party”) made a substantive capital investment in the financing entity and has majority voting control over it.  The Third Party also made a monetization loan of $397 million to us, which was assumed by the financing entity at the time the note receivable was transferred to the financing entity.  The monetization loan is secured by the note receivable and intercompany financial instruments, which serve as secondary collateral for the monetization loan.  The monetization loan has a maturity date of January 31, 2014, and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 75 bps.

In addition, we collected in cash the $220 million face value of a note receivable that matured on July 7, 2011.  This note receivable was related to another financing entity that was similar to that described above, but for which we acquired the voting equity interest of the Third Party and its monetization loan rights in November 2009.
