Executive Change in Control Agreement (Tier I)

     THIS EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (Tier I) is made and entered into by and between Weyerhaeuser Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and                                          (hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”).

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Company entering into change in control agreements with certain key executives of the Company;

     WHEREAS, the Executive is a key executive of the Company;

     WHEREAS, should the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company arise, the Board believes it is imperative that the Company and the Board should be able to rely on the Executive to continue in his position, and that the Company should be able to receive and rely on the Executive’s advice, if requested, as to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders without concern that the Executive might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a Change in Control; and

     WHEREAS, should the possibility of a Change in Control arise, in addition to his regular duties, the Executive may be called upon to assist in the assessment of such possible Change in Control, advise management and the Board as to whether such Change in Control would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and to take such other actions as the Board might determine to be appropriate.

     NOW THEREFORE, to assure the Company that it will have the continued dedication of the Executive and the availability of his advice and counsel notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, and to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

Article 1. Term of This Agreement

     Subject to the provisions of Article 10, this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for three (3) full calendar years. However, at any time prior to the end of such three-year (3) period, and at any time prior to the end of any extended term, the Committee may, in its discretion, extend the term of this Agreement for any period of time up to three (3) additional years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is subject to annual review and may be amended or otherwise modified by the Committee in its sole discretion subsequent to such annual review, provided that no Change in Control shall have occurred.

     However, in the event a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement will remain in effect for the longer of (i) twenty-four (24) full calendar months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred or (ii) until all obligations of the Company to the Executive hereunder have been fulfilled, and until all benefits required hereunder have been paid to the Executive.

Such removal shall be effective three (3) months after the date the Company notifies the Executive of such removal. Removals occurring within two (2) years after a CIC, shall be null and void for purposes of this Agreement.

Article 4. Severance Benefits

     4.1 Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company Severance Benefits if

	(a)		the Executive’s employment with the Company shall end for any reason specified in Section 4.2; and
	(b)		the Executive is not (i) reemployed by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company whether in a salaried, hourly, temporary, or full-time capacity, or (ii) retained as a consultant or contractor by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, or (iii) retained as a consultant or contractor by an entity acquiring the Company, unless the reemployment or retention of such Executive has the prior written approval of the Company’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources, of the Company.

Receipt of Severance Benefits shall disqualify the Executive from eligibility to receive any other severance benefits from the Company, including, without limitation, those under any Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and the Executive, as such agreement may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, or, if such agreement is no longer in effect, any successor agreement thereto.

     4.2 Qualifying Termination. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events within twenty-four (24) full calendar months following the effective date of a CIC of the Company shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits to the Executive under this Agreement:

	(a)		An involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, authorized by the Company’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources, for reasons other than for Cause, mandatory Retirement under the Company’s applicable policies, or the Executive’s death, Disability, or voluntary termination of employment (including voluntary Retirement) without Good Reason; or
	(b)		a voluntary termination by the Executive for Good Reason.

     4.3 Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits (and further contingent on the proper execution of the Non-Competition and Release Agreement as set forth in Section 4.8), as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and subject

CIC Tier I US

to the cap described in Section 6.1, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide him with the following:

	(a)		An amount equal to three times the highest rate of the Executive’s annualized Base Salary rate in effect at any time up to and including the Effective Date of Termination.
	(b)		An amount equal to three times the Executive’s target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs (or, if higher, the target annual bonus established for the bonus plan year in which the CIC occurs).
	(c)		An amount equal to the Executive’s unpaid Base Salary and accrued vacation pay through the Executive’s last day of work.
	(d)		An amount equal to the Executive’s unpaid actual annual bonus, paid for the plan year in which the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days completed in the then-existing fiscal year through the Effective Date of Termination and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). Any payments hereunder are in lieu of any bonuses otherwise payable under the Company’s applicable annual incentive plans.
	(e)		A lump sum payment of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) (net of required payroll and income tax withholding) in order to assist the Executive in paying for replacement health and welfare coverage for a reasonable period following the Executive’s Effective Date of Termination.
	(f)		Full vesting of the Executive’s benefits under any and all supplemental retirement plans in which the Executive participates. For purposes of determining the amount of an Executive’s benefits in such plans, such benefits shall be calculated under the assumption that the Executive’s employment continued following the Effective Date of Termination for three (3) full years (i.e., three (3) additional years of age and service credits shall be added); provided, however, that for purposes of determining “final average pay” under such programs, the Executive’s actual pay history as of the effective date of termination shall be used. Payout of such amounts shall occur at the time established under such plans.
			To the extent that the Executive is subject to a reduction of such benefits due to application of any early retirement provisions, the three (3) additional years of age shall be incorporated in the early retirement reduction calculation so as to offset such reduction. Also, three (3) additional years of age, but not any additional service, shall be used to determine the Executive’s eligibility for early retirement benefits.
	(g)		An amount equal to the value of the stock equivalents representing premiums (including any appreciation and dividend equivalents) that are forfeited under the Weyerhaeuser Company Deferred Compensation Plan, in connection with the Executive’s Qualifying Termination. If no such premiums are forfeited under the

CIC Tier I US

Weyerhaeuser Company Deferred Compensation Plan, then no amount shall be payable under this Section 4.3(g).

(h)

Unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Equity Award or in a written employment or other agreement between the Executive and the Company:

(i) Full vesting of any Equity Awards, which shall become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable throughout their entire term;

(ii) Termination or lapsing of any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on such Equity Awards that are not performance based;

(iii) Termination or lapsing of any restriction or other conditions applicable to any such Equity Awards and such Equity Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant; and

(iv) Recognition of the target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding Equity Awards that are performance-based, which Equity Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned for the entire performance periods and restrictions on such Equity Awards shall lapse and such Equity Awards shall be immediately settled or distributed.

     4.4 Termination for Disability. Following a CIC of the Company, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to Disability, no compensation or benefits shall be payable under this Agreement and the Executive shall instead receive his Base Salary through the Effective Date of Termination, at which point in time the Executive’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s disability and other applicable compensation and benefits plans and programs then in effect.

     4.5 Termination for Retirement or Death. Following a CIC of the Company, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of his death or voluntary Retirement other than for Good Reason, no compensation or benefits shall be payable under this Agreement and the Executive’s benefits shall instead be determined in accordance with the Company’s retirement and other applicable compensation and benefits plans and programs then in effect.

     4.6 Termination for Cause or by the Executive Other Than for Good Reason or Retirement. Following a CIC of the Company, if the Executive’s employment is terminated either (i) by the Company for Cause or (ii) by the Executive (other than for Disability or death) and other than for Good Reason, no compensation or benefits shall be payable under this Agreement and the Executive’s benefits shall instead be determined in accordance with the Company’s applicable compensation and benefits plans and programs then in effect.

     4.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company or by the Executive for Good Reason under this Article 4 shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination, unless the Executive is terminated for Cause, in which case no Notice of Termination is required. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice that shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts

CIC Tier I US

and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

     4.8 Delivery of Non-Competition and Release Agreement. The payment of Severance Benefits is conditioned on the Executive’s timely execution of the Non-Competition and Release Agreement. The Company will deliver the Non-Competition and Release Agreement when it provides a Notice of Termination to the Executive or promptly following the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Termination from the Executive. The Non-Competition and Release Agreement shall be deemed effective upon the expiration of the required waiting periods under applicable state and/or federal laws as more specifically described therein.

     To support the enforcement of the Non-Competition and Release Agreement, the parties agree that the minimum value of the Non-Competition and Release Agreement at the time this Agreement was entered into was at least 1.5 times the Executive’s Base Salary that has been built into the severance formula in Section 4.3.

     4.9 Removal From Representative Boards. In the event the terminating Executive occupies any board of directors seats solely as a Company representative, as a condition to receiving the severance set forth in Section 4.3 the Executive shall immediately resign such position upon his termination of employment with the Company, unless specifically requested in writing by the Company otherwise.

Article 5. Form and Timing of Severance Benefits

     5.1 Form and Timing of Severance Benefits. The Severance Benefits described in Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(b), 4.3(c), 4.3(d), 4.3(e) and 4.3(g) shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum, subject to the Non-Competition and Release Agreement referred to in Section 4.8, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond thirty (30) days from the later of the Effective Date of Termination and the successful expiration of the waiting periods described in Section 4.8.

     5.2 Treatment of Certain Equity Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the 60-day period from and after a Change in Control (the “Exercise Period”), if the Committee shall determine at, or at any time after, the time of grant, an Executive holding a Option or SAR exercisable pursuant to Section 4.3(h) shall have the right, in lieu of the payment of the purchase price for the shares of the Company’s common stock being purchased under the Option or SAR and by giving notices to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of the Option or SAR to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Change in Control Price per share on the date of such election shall exceed the purchase price per share of Company’s common stock under the Option or SAR (the “spread”) multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock granted under the Option or SAR as to which the right granted under this Section 5.2 shall have been exercised.

     5.3 Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all taxes as legally shall be required (including, without limitation, any United States federal taxes and any other state, city, or local taxes).

     The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

     6.2 Contractual Rights to Benefits. Subject to Article 1 and Sections 3.2 and 6.3, this Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he may become entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.

     6.3 Forfeiture of Severance Benefits and Other Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if it is determined by the Company that the Executive has violated any of the restrictive covenants contained in the Executive’s Non-Competition and Release Agreement, the Executive shall be required to repay to the Company an amount equal to the economic value of all Severance Benefits and other payments already provided to the Executive under this Agreement and the Executive shall forever forfeit the Executive’s rights to any unpaid Severance Benefits and other payments hereunder. Additional forfeiture provisions may apply pursuant to other agreements and policies between the Executive and the Company, and any such forfeiture provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Article 7. Dispute Resolution

     7.1 Claims Procedure. The Executive may file a written claim with the Company’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources, who shall consider such claim and notify the Executive in writing of his or her decision with respect thereto within ninety (90) days (or within such longer period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, as the Senior Vice President of Human Resources determines is necessary to review the claim, provided that the Senior Vice President of Human Resources notifies the Executive in writing of the extension within the original ninety (90) day period). If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Executive may appeal such denial to the Committee, provided the Executive does so in writing within sixty (60) days of receiving the determination by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources. The Committee shall consider the appeal and notify the Executive in writing of its decision with respect thereto within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days as the Committee determines is necessary to review the appeal, provided that the Committee notifies the Executive in writing of the extension within the original sixty (60) day period).

     7.2 Finality of Determination.

Article 8. Outplacement Assistance

     Following a Qualifying Termination (as described in Section 4.2) the Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for the costs of all outplacement services incurred by the Executive within the two (2) year period after the Effective Date of Termination; provided, however, that the total reimbursement shall be limited to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) and shall be completed by the end of the calendar year in which such two (2) year period expires.

Article 9. Section 409A

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the Executive must be treated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), any Severance Benefits due to the Executive on or within the six (6) month period following the Executive’s actual termination date will accrue during such six (6) month period to the extent required by Section 409A and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Executive’s actual termination; provided, however, that such payments will be paid earlier, at the times and on the terms set forth in the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if the Company reasonably determines that the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A will not apply to an earlier payment of such payments. In addition, this Agreement will be interpreted, operated, and administered by the Company to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to the Executive under Section 409A, including any temporary or final Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

Article 10. Successors and Assignment

     10.1 Successors to the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or of any division or subsidiary thereof to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effective date of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if he had terminated his employment with the Company voluntarily for Good Reason. Except for the purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Effective Date of Termination.

     10.2 Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s Beneficiary. If the Executive has not named a Beneficiary, then such amounts shall be paid to the

Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

Article 11. Miscellaneous

     11.1 Employment Status. Except as may be provided under any other agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will” and, prior to the effective date of a CIC, may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time, subject to applicable law.

     11.2 Beneficiaries. The Executive may designate one or more persons or entities as the primary and contingent Beneficiaries of any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement. Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Committee and pursuant to such other procedures as the Committee may decide. If no such designation is on file with the Company at the time of the Executive’s death, or if no designated Beneficiaries survive the Executive for more than fourteen (14) days, any Severance Benefits owing to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.

     11.3 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

     11.4 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. Further, the captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force and effect.

     11.5 Modification. Except as provided in Article 1 and Section 3.2, no provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged following a CIC unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized member of the Committee, or by the respective parties’ legal representatives and successors.

     11.6 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall completely supersede and replace any and all portions of any contracts, plans, provisions, or practices pertaining to severance entitlements owing to the Executive from the Company other than the Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and the Executive dated January 1, 2010, and is in lieu of any notice requirement, policy, or practice. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Executive’s potential rights to severance pay, benefits, and notice under the Executive Change in Control Agreement (Tier I) dated January 1, 2008 (the “2008 Agreement”) shall be completely replaced and superseded by this Agreement and such 2008 Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. As such, the Severance Benefits described herein shall serve as the Executive’s sole recourse with respect to termination of employment by the Company following a CIC. In addition, Severance Benefits shall not be counted as “compensation,” or any equivalent term, for purposes of determining benefits under other agreements, plans, provisions, or practices owing to the Executive from the Company, except to the extent expressly provided therein. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, the Executive’s rights under all such agreements, plans, provisions, and practices continue to be subject to the respective terms and conditions thereof.
