(1) For fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, bonuses were awarded by the Compensation
Committee under the Annual Performance Incentive Plan using a formula based
on the attainment of certain levels of pretax profits from continuing
operations and net long-term debt reduction. For fiscal 1998, no bonuses
were awarded.
(2) Amounts represent awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan, which will be
deferred in the participant's plan account. Annual distributions,
constituting 15% of each participant's account, will be made commencing on
December 15 of the fourth year following the initial award under the Long
Term Incentive Plan or the predecessor Hanson long term incentive plan,
contingent on continued employment, subject to acceleration upon a Change
in Control (as defined in the plan) and certain other circumstances.
(3) In fiscal 1997, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Raos were each awarded 37,500 shares of
restricted stock under the Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Stock").
Mr. Bendik was awarded 16,759 incentive shares ("Incentive Shares") in
fiscal 1996 and 22,500 shares and 20,741 shares of Restricted Stock in
fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998, respectively. The values of the Incentive
Shares and the Restricted Stock are based upon the last reported sale price
of an unrestricted share of Common Stock on the NYSE on the following dates
of grants: Messrs. Clarke and Raos -- March 18, 1997 ($24.916) and Mr.
Bendik -- May 14, 1997 ($28.1875), August 14, 1997 ($16.0625) and December
2, 1997 ($26.1875). The Incentive Shares vest in three equal installments
on February 22, 1998 (which shares have vested), 2000 and 2002 and shares
of Restricted Stock vest seven years after grant, in each case subject to
acceleration upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in each
executive officer's employment agreement described under "Employment
Agreements" below), or the occurrence of certain other events and, in the
case of the Restricted Stock, upon achievement of certain preestablished
3
<PAGE>
performance goals and Compensation Committee approval. Executive officers
are entitled to receive dividends on their Incentive Shares and their
Restricted Stock as and when dividends on the Common Stock are declared by
the Board. The aggregate number of shares of restricted stock awarded in
1995, Incentive Shares and Restricted Stock owned by the named executives
and the market value of such shares, each as of October 2, 1998, are as
follows: Mr. Clarke -- 546,706 shares ($8,166,420); Mr. Raos -- 376,970
shares ($5,630,989); Mr. MacLean -- 74,684 shares ($1,115,592); Mr. Bendik
-- 54,413 shares ($812,794); and Ms. Sander -- 61,104 shares ($912,741).
The closing price of the Common Stock ($14.9375) on October 2, 1998, the
last trading day of the fiscal year, was used to determine "market value."
(4) The amounts shown in this column include the matching contributions made by
the Company to the accounts of the named executive officers pursuant to the
401(k) Plan, all of which is invested in Common Stock pursuant to the terms
of the plan, and the dollar value of insurance premiums paid by or on
behalf of the Company with respect to term life insurance benefits.
OPTION EXERCISES AND VALUES FOR FISCAL 1998
The following table sets forth, with respect to each of the named
executive officers, the number of share options exercised and the dollar value
realized from those exercises during the 1998 fiscal year and the total number
and aggregate dollar value of exercisable and non-exercisable stock options held
on October 3, 1998.

subtracting the exercise price from the fair market value of the underlying
Common Stock. For purposes of the last column of this table, fair market

Stock reported for the NYSE Composite Transactions on October 2, 1998, the

USI Retirement Plan
The USI Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") provides pension benefits
to the Company's corporate office employees, including its executive officers.
Employees will become vested in their benefits under the Retirement Plan after
five years of service. Normal retirement is the later of age 65 or five years of
service; however, employees who work beyond their normal retirement age will
continue to accrue benefits.
Under the Retirement Plan, the annual retirement benefits of the Company's
corporate office employees, including its executive officers, will equal the
greater of (i) the product of (a) 2.67% of an employee's Final Average Earnings
(which excludes, among other things, bonuses) minus 2% of such employee's Social
Security Benefit, multiplied by the number of years of Credited Service the
employee would have been credited with through his or her Normal Retirement Date
(to a maximum of 25) and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of years of Credited Service through December 31, 1992 (the "Freeze
Date"), and the denominator of which is the number of years of Credited Service
the employee would have been credited with through his Normal Retirement Date
(the "Offset Formula"), and (ii) the sum of (a) 1.95% of an employee's Final
Average Earnings plus (b) .65% of that portion of the employee's Final Average
Earnings in excess of Covered Compensation, multiplied by the employee's years
of Credited Service (to a maximum of 25). Credited service for all corporate
office employees, including the Company's executive officers, includes years of
service under a predecessor Hanson plan. All defined terms have the same
meanings as in the Retirement Plan or as stated herein.
The following table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits that
would be payable under the Retirement Plan to the Company's corporate office
employees, including its executive officers, assuming retirement at age 65 on
the basis of a straight-life annuity. The table also includes benefits payable
under the USI Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "SRP"), an unfunded supplemental
retirement plan applicable to certain executive officers of the Company, which
is described below.

</TABLE>
The named executive officers have been credited with the following years
of service for purposes of benefit accrual (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth
of a year): Mr. Clarke -- 25.00 years; Mr. Raos -- 22.5 years; Mr. MacLean --
19.33 years; Mr. Bendik -- 2.92 years and Ms. Sander -- 14.33 years. Since the
base salaries of Messrs. Clarke and Raos were significantly reduced effective
upon the Demerger, their current accrued Final Average Earnings ($897,573 and
$568,827, respectively) exceed their annual compensation
5
<PAGE>
for fiscal 1998. Generally, unless termination of employment follows a Change in
Control (as defined in the Retirement Plan), due to the restriction on benefit
entitlements prior to age 60 under the SRP described below, the Final Average
Earnings of each of Messrs. Clarke and Raos would be limited to $160,000, the
Retirement Plan limit, if his employment terminated during the current fiscal
year.
USI SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
The SRP is a non-qualified, unfunded, deferred compensation plan
administered by the Compensation Committee. In general terms, the purpose of the
SRP is to restore to certain executive officers of the Company any benefits in
excess of the benefits accrued under the Retirement Plan that would have accrued
under the Offset Formula without regard to the Freeze Date (to a maximum of 25
years of Credited Service). In addition, the SRP provides for benefits in excess
of the limitations on the amount of benefits accrued and compensation taken into
account in any given year imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code,
respectively, with respect to a qualified plan such as the Retirement Plan.
Under the SRP, a participant's annual benefit is equal to 66 2/3% of his or her
Average Final Compensation less 50% of his or her Social Security Benefit,
multiplied by the number of years of Credited Service (to a maximum of 25)
divided by 25, less the Pension Offset. The normal form of benefit under the SRP
shall be a monthly annuity ceasing on the participant's death. The optional
benefit forms are the forms of benefit provided under the Retirement Plan.
Capitalized terms used in this paragraph have the meanings defined for them in
the SRP or in the Retirement Plan.
