EXPLANATORY NOTE

Temple-Inland Inc. sold its strategic timberland on October 31, 2007 for $2.38 billion. The total consideration consisted almost entirely of notes due in 2027 issued by the buyer of the timberland. The notes are secured by $2.38 billion of irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by four banks, which are required to maintain a credit rating on their long-term unsecured debt of at least A+ by S&P and A1 by Moody’s. The letters of credit are secured by the buyer’s long-term deposits with the banks of $2.38 billion of cash and cash equivalents.

There are 20 notes issued the buyer of the timberland, all of which have substantially identical terms.  The attached exhibit is a form of these notes.
