The Company leases certain buildings, machinery, and equipment under various operating leases. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments.

The New Zealand JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government, which are excluded from the table above. A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of June 30, 2014, the New Zealand JV has two CFL’s under termination notice, terminating in 2034 and 2046, and two fixed term CFL’s expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market value, with triennial rent reviews. The total annual license fee on the CFL’s is $2.7 million per year with CFL’s terminating or expiring of $0.2 million.
